Kapitel 16: Magic 2
/FUSH/
Okay, I might be a bit excited while using my magic, but it is fine.
My clothes got ignited, but I rushed to the bathroom and managed to put out the fire on my clothes without resulting in huge damage.
However, that itself shows that my approach was wrong.
Although certainly the science of physics and chemistry and their laws still exist in this world, that doesn't mean I should approach magic from the same perspective.
I think the thing I was trying to achieve is not for the beginner magicians like me but for magicians with some experience and a good affinity with elements.
Without good practice, I think I shouldn't try to do that.
With that in my mind, I tried using water magic this time.
And I have another idea.
The existence of chants itself makes using magic more convenient, and I have mentioned that before.
I think the chants itself is not only affecting the user's mind and thoughts, but they are also affecting the blessing.
When I was reading the book, I noticed something.
Although this book explains everything in a simple way for everyone to understand, it feels like it is still too reliant on chanting.
There are instructions about how to imagine the mana particles moving or how to locate your enemies perfectly etc.
Everything is explained in a simple way that doesn't leave any imagination.
It is like going to school to learn about something, but they don't teach you how to find a way to solve problems. Instead, they are simply teaching the solutions.
This itself is not good in the long run because it limits the creativity of a person, which is one of the essential things for a magician in a sense.
That leaves me with only one choice.
Either I need to find a teacher to teach me, or I should go for the practice route.
Both choices have their own restrictions, but I will see what I can do.
Anyway, after practicing for a bit longer with elemental spells, I decided to practice other types of spells as well.
There isn't any information about spatial magic or time magic in the book since they are heavily coveted magic types.
However, there is some information about basic psionic magic, which contains information about telepathy and telekinesis.
According to the book, all spells have tiers ranging from one to ten, and it is said that the tenth tier reaches the magic of godhood.
And I think this type of magic is suitable for me since, basically, my art [All Seeing Eye] has the potential to read other people's minds.
Just like that, I tried to use telekinesis magic this time.
What is telekinesis?
Telekinesis is basically creating force fields by using one's mind and affecting the laws of physics.
Then, how do I generate a force field?
This time without thinking too much, I directly chanted magic and decided to observe the changes in my magic core and my magic circuit.
"My will be done, let things happen as I command."
After chanting basic-level telekinesis magic, I felt my magic circuit moving. At the same time, the mana inside my body started changing as well.
This time the attribute of mana didn't change, but the raw mana itself directly manifested in front of me while pressuring the paper I was holding.
I noticed that one needs to have a clear vision or knowledge about the target's position; if not, then magic would be nullified.
While I was trying to activate elemental magic, this was one of the hardest things.
Choosing the target and making mana obey your command.
Just by chanting, one can't use magic. One needs to visualize the place they need to affect in their mind, and you need good compatibility with mana to make it obey your command.
And as I expected, my compatibility with telekinesis magic is better than compatibility with fire or water magic.
Should I say I am personally more inclined to use telekinesis magic? Anyway, with that, I practiced my magic until I exhausted almost all of my mana while practicing it.
I am trying to figure out how to use telekinesis magic without chanting, and it proved to be a bit difficult.
But it is not like I don't have time either, so I better get a good foundation.
/KNOCK/ /KNOCK/
And just as I exhausted all my mana, I heard the door knocking.
"Lord Callius, can I come in?"
I heard the familiar sound I had been hearing all my childhood.
"Come in."
I simply said with an authoritative tone.
After that, the door simply opened, and maid Susan entered my room.
"My lord, Lady Adelyn instructed me to inform you that the breakfast is ready, and everyone will be on the table today."
Susan said while bowing her head.
Although I can still see some dissatisfaction in her prideful eyes, it seems she is getting used to bowing her head to me again.
"I see. I will meet them after changing my clothes. Is there anything else you want to say to me? If not, then you are dismissed."
I said, and she left my room, bowing her head.
After she left, I changed my clothes. Since today I will attend my father's funeral, I need to present myself well and show those nobles that I am not some sort of wimp who can't show his face in front of the crowd.
I put on a high-quality white shirt and black pants and combined them with a red jacket and red tie.
I also put the earrings my father said he found with me and left my room to meet my 'family' in the dining room.
/CHATTER/ /CHATTER/
While walking, I heard some maids gossiping and talking behind me and decided to listen to what they were saying.
Since my perception stat reached 2.0, my sense of hearing or any other sense is on a superhuman level.
"Hey, have you heard that they found the gardener kid Noah locked in a cabinet in the personnel room? Apparently, he said he was attacked by a boy around his age with black hair and brown eyes. He said the attacker's name was Liam, and he was also working in this house, but I had never seen someone like that before."
A maid with red hair said with enthusiasm clearly can be seen on her face.
"Huh, then who was the person who attacked him? Could it be there are ghosts in this house, or maybe the spirit of master Austin was the one attacked? I heard there were some deaths in the city which couldn't be explained, and the local police are still trying to find the culprit. Do you think that murderer is targeting the house now?"
Another maid with black hair said while shaking with fear.
It seems they finally found Noah in that closet, huh? But, as I expected, no one is suspecting that I was the one who attacked him.
It seems my decision not to free him from his closet was the correct one.
The more I walk around the place for personnel, the more risk I am getting myself into.
/GLARE/
"It seems you don't like working in this mansion anymore. Should we find some competent people to fill your place, then?"
I asked with a commanding tone, and with my trait [Tyrant's Aura], the maids flinched and started doing their work again.
"Hick! I am sorry, Lord Callius; we were in the wrong. We are ready to receive any punishment you see proper for us."
The maid on the front said while bowing her head, and I could see the fear in her eyes.
You see, Callius is really living up to his villain role.
Although his mother being unknown has a share in his being alone, his attitude is not good and he has never treated any maid in this mansion as equals, sometimes bullying the maids or punishing them just for the slightest mistakes.
This was another reason why he was always alone, and as expected, this maid also feared Callius because of his reputation.
"Good, you know your mistake, then you should also know your punishment, don't you?"
I asked while maintaining my pressure.
Although I don't like dealing with small fry, my trait [Noblesse] doesn't let me ignore those types of mistakes.
"We shall report this to the headmaid and shall not receive any payment for the work we have done for three days."
She said while looking at the ground.
"Good. Then you are dismissed. Even though you are a commoner, you must know the details of your contract. So, use that brain of yours, and don't get greedy. You are dismissed."
I gave one last warning to them and left.
While I was leaving, I saw a frightened expression on the face of the maid, who didn't talk.
Just as I expected, she was having thoughts about not reporting this event to Susan since she thought I wouldn't bother with something this trivial. But seeing me mentioning the contract and warning them, she immediately understood I correctly predicted her thoughts.
Right now, she must be thinking that "Lord Callius is really frightening. I should be careful around him; as the rumors said, he is a demon in human skin."
In a way, this is normal for commoner people or people with a narrow worldview.
But you really never seen the real demons in human skin.
Anyway, just like that, I reached the dining room and opened the door.
At that moment, I heard a sound.
"Big brother Callius, you are finally here!"
