The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 28: Fun stories about magic

- Now you know whats going on, dont you kid? So, lets have a fun talk about magic with your brother.

Yes. Im looking forward to working with you.

After that conversation, the atmosphere between Kunon and Zeonly changed.

Im not sure if its just me or if its actually Kunon.

It had been plain and simple, but now the invisible silver eyes turned to look at Zeonly.

To the heckling Zeonly, whose intentions were clearly to make fun of ignorant children.

Its a bad humor.

The only one who doesnt notice it here is the blind Kunon.

Were not even talking about the basics now. Lets just skip ahead and start with the practical stuff.

Got it.

How many levels can you use in a quartet?

Thirty-one.

What?

Its thirty-two if I push it.

Youre doing a great job.

I see!, Zeonly finally agreed.

The reason why I was instructed to meet Kunon.

The fact that Kunons knowledge and ability is not a lie, which I heard from the sorcerers.

If what they said was true, then he was the perfect person for my experiments, research, and trials.

Well, I can do fifty.

Fifty? That much? How do you do that?

I want to hear yours too. How did you get past the thirty or even twenty barriers?Its not something you can learn on your own. The master who taught you magic couldnt have done it that well.

I overlaid the sigil. Now its basically a double one.

You got to that by teaching yourself? Ha, damn kid.

Zeonlys smile took on a different meaning.

Okay, I think I know what youre capable of. Lets see your skills in action.

But first, I need to know how to do the fifty levels.

No, I cant tell you. Its useless to teach someone who cant do it. I dont like wasting time. Prove that you can do it, and then ask me to teach you with dignity. Flatter me."

You're cool, Master Zeonly, please teach me. I want to see the good things about you. I want to see your generosity, your kindness, your love, and your occasional sadness.

I could go on and on, but I wont. First of all, dont call me Master. I havent accepted it yet. -Ill show you a little of my ability now. Its a challenge.

As soon as Zeonly said that, a wall of earth rose up beside him.

Kunon reacted before anyone else and reflexively turned towards him. This was because he had followed the magic power that Zeonly had moved.

Im not sure if youve heard of it or not. You may think that soil is plain, but its also very deep Dont worry about that.

You can get the water bed out, cant you? Get it out. Im going to bed.

In the meantime, youre going to break down that wall with your magic. Thats your task. If you dont, its over. There wont be a next time.

Youll probably do it, he said.

Zeonly was buried in the super soft water ball while making that prediction.

He couldnt help but exclaim, Whoa! He shouted in surprise.

Its softer than I imagined.

It felt as if I had just jumped into a pile of feathers.

And even though I was touching the water, I didnt feel wet.

The water temperature is moderate, taking into account the fact that it is winter.

The sudden attack of fatigue and lack of sleep hangs over my consciousness.

Unable to bear the weight, or rather, not being able to withstand it, Zeonly fell asleep immediately.

Ill definitely have one of my colleagues learn it, he thought.

As if he had lost all interest in Zeonly, Kunon touched the towering mud wall.

It looked like a solid piece of earth.

It was not very thick, and it was a rectangle that looked like it had been precisely measured and arranged, like a real board.

When I tried to push it, it didnt budge, and when I lightly poked it with my cane, it only made a hard sound.

Even if you tried to hit it with all your might, it would not even crack.

It is a terribly hard mud wall.

The texture is smooth to the hand.

The material seems to be dry soil itself.

But the magic that makes up this is amazing.

Like Kunons water ball a ori, it is not something that is continuously maintained with magic power, but an independent type that traps magic power and detaches it.

It will continue to exist until the surgeon releases it or the trapped magic is exhausted.

According to Kunons intuition, it would last for about two days.

For Kunon, who has a maximum duration of half a day, this one thing gives him a good idea of Zeonlys capabilities.

If it was a royal court magician, Kunon would get something out of it no matter who came.

But this was the magic of a man who was one of the most talented of the royal court magicians.

Its a big deal.

Zeonly is a sorcerer who is far above Kunon.

I see.

Just touching it in this way is a learning experience.

The magic power that is put into it has been compressed considerably. This increases the duration and also keeps the hardness.

After all, it must be common knowledge in the sorcerers world to pack things tightly like this.

Kunon had arrived at his own interpretation of the situation, but it was a natural technique for magicians.

However, the density of the squeezing was much different.

Its probably a crystal of more than forty quartets.

The question is how to increase the number of quartets to that level

Magic is a sigil.

The sigil is the magic circle.

Magic comes from a magic circle.

The magician draws a magic circle with magic power and releases magic power into that shape.

By rearranging the magic circle, the magician can use various kinds of magic.

There are many magic circles that have been discovered and published, made up of specific words, but they are only the base, the foundation.

The essence of sorcery is the sorcerers original sorcery developed from the base.

It is that which specializes in originality.

A superlative would be the number of how many base sigils the magicians have divided and reconstructed.

That number is the level of originality and advanced magic.

The greater the number, the more difficult it becomes to control.

Kunons idea of stacking two magic circles on top of each other as a base allowed him to overcome what Zeonly calls the twenty-step barrier.

This is why Kunons Water Ball A Ori can be interpreted as using two types of the same magic at the same time.

Kunon looked back to Zeonly, who was already asleep, buried in a super soft water ball, and let out a little sigh.

He then returned to the table.

Your Highness, Milica, lets have a little chat.

What?

As the conversation turned to magic, Milica, who had been watching the situation without saying anything else, was surprised to see Kunon back.

She wanted to ask him if the assignment was good, but she didnt.

She didnt know anything about magic.

Zeonly seems to be tired.

He had just fallen asleep. It would be a shame to wake him up right away, so Kunon decided to give him a little time to rest.

I knew it when I touched it.

I can break something like that in a second.
