Chapter 2

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

“Noah, get out of this mansion once you reach adulthood.”

I was called to my father’s study and he suddenly said that.

It seems that adults have to leave this mansion.

The age of adulthood is 15 years.

In three days I will have my 15th birthday.

“Yes, I understand”

“You are the eldest son of the Aldeheim family, but you will not be the next head of the family, because you have no magical talent.”

“I know”

“Don’t hate me, you should rather thank me for raising you to that age without magical talent.”

“Yes, of course. I am grateful to you, father.”

“… Hmm. That’s fine. If you understand, go quickly.”

“If you’ll excuse me”

It’s been 3 days since I’ve been in this mansion …

When I thought so, I was a little moved.

On the way to the library, as usual, I met a servant cleaning the corridor.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I greeted the servant with a smile.

“…”

The servant cleans silently without changing his expression.

I’m used to it because he’s been ignored even after talking to him for a long time.

Still, I never forget to thank my servants.

why? When asked, I wanted to do that.

I think that my behaviour toward others is what I wanted to do when I was a child.

You can talk to me, be kind to me, help me …

As such a person, I was looking for something that was natural.

And because I wasn’t satisfied, I want to do it for someone.

Well … it’s completely self-satisfaction.

◇

When I arrive at the library, I sit in a chair and read a book.

No education was given to me by the Aldeheim family, so I learned the necessary knowledge from books.

About 10 years have passed since I started going to the hidden library, and I have read all the “Ancient Grimoire” that had already been collected.

Thanks to that, I learned a lot of ancient magic instead of modern magic.

It seems that modern magic cannot be used without magical talent.

The thing that only the chosen one can use is the recognition that it is modern magic.

Creatures always have magical power, but if you don’t have talent, you can’t use magic. So I think it’s great to have a magical talent.

I can’t imitate it even if I stand upside down.

However, even I could use ancient magic.

Ancient magic can be obtained simply by reading the spellbook.

It is because of the language unique to the Book of Magic — the ancient characters

The ancient magic is activated by using the correct combination of ancient characters.

Depending on the combination, the type and content of magic will also change.

In other words, understanding ancient magic means understanding the ancient characters.

At the end of the day, what are ancient characters? Ancient characters have an overwhelming amount of information than other languages with magical power.

It is insanely difficult, and when I was five, it took me a month to decipher it.

Now, let’s get back to the main subject.

There are two ways to combine ancient characters.

Whether to combine inside the body or outside the body.

And the name changes a little, ancient magic for the former and ancient enchantment for the latter. (TL: Author writes魔術and 魔法 which is the same like twelve = dozen. If you have any better ideas pls tell me. But welp for the rest of the story I think I’ll just use ancient magic for both to make it less confusing.)

Is it a little confusing? (TL: Yes, yes it is)

Then I will give you an example.

When I found the hidden library, the magic stone would shine and turn on automatically, right?

This is because ancient enchantment was activated.

The ancient characters were combined so that the magic stone would react when certain conditions were met.

It seems that ancient enchantment that combines ancient characters outside the body is used in this way.

So how do you use ancient magic?

Even if you say that you combine ancient letters in your body, It is only your feelings.

The easiest way is to chant the ancient characters and the ancient magic will be activated.

The difficult way is to activate it without chanting.

In that case, you have to manipulate the magical power inside the body to combine the ancient characters.

This is difficult, and I have no magical talent, and even after 10 years, I still can’t use it well.

“Hey. Noah, you’re finally kicked out of the house.”

A red-haired boy appeared in front of me.

He is the second son Glenn.

His talent aptitude is [fire attribute magic] and is 13 years old.

Glenn is undoubtedly the next head candidate for the current Aldeheim family.

Glen had a nasty smile on his mouth.

“Hey, Glenn. You sure go the information fast.”

“Isn’t it natural? When my father told me that I was the next head of the family, I was also told about Noah’s future.”

“I see, I feel lonely.”

“Huh! So that’s what you mean. You must be lonely. You can’t use magic because you’re a shame of the Aldeheim family.

“Haha, maybe.”

“… What are you laughing at? You can’t even use magic!”

With that said, Glen floated a ball of fire in the palm of his right hand.

“Can you do this !? Ha ha ha!”

I blew and extinguished Glen’s fireball.

I couldn’t erase it just by breathing, so I used ancient magic without chanting.

By the way, < Breeze > Is an ancient magic.

“What …! What did you do!?”

“You shouldn’t use magic because there are books around you.”

“Gununu … You’re always in a good mood even if you can’t use magic …! That’s why you piss me off!”

“I wonder if I’m on the right track …? I don’t mean that, but I’m sorry if I made you think so.”

“Oh! You really piss me off! Quickly leave the house and die!”

Glenn left with some angry words and went away.

I have never been able to get along with Glen …

It’s sad that we can’t get along even in the end.

“… It’s a little early, but I’ll be leaving? The Aldeheim family would be happier without me anyways.”

I packed up my belongings and left the house.
