51 – Essential Magic and Sign Language

Sharp is noisy.

『How reticent am I?』

It even seems like the range in which that voice can be transmitted is expanding little by little. So even when I slept with Marine, I had no choice but to keep hearing Sharp’s voice.

Honestly, I felt a little unfair.

I suffered from irritating accusations just by sleeping in the same bed.

『I held you in my arms!』

Well, I couldn’t help it because they said it was cold.

Fish are cold-blooded animals… In fact, even if you were just a human, wouldn’t you be able to share your body heat if you said it was cold?

I didn’t really understand why they were making such a fuss.

『Rain’s senses are strange at the point where this sounds like a fuss…. There’s a sense of distance, you know!』

Well.

Honestly, as I got older, there were some things that I couldn’t really feel.

Marine too… When I see him always smiling brightly and learning letters, it’s cute and child-like.

『Where can you find such a big child!』

I ignored Sharp’s slander and dragged Marine’s wheelchair.

Today, the building to be used as a teaching center was completed, so the disabled people who were staying in the workhouse owned by the church were planning to come to learn sign language.

I plan to tour there with Marine. This is the first pilot training that will form the framework for the training center plan.

“Once Marinee takes a look, I hope she gets better and tells me what she does. I guess the perspective of the person concerned is more important. She doesn’t like it, right?”

[Yes. I do it.]

“Thank you.”

And so the several-day tour of the ‘disabled training center’ began.

It started as a sign language school.

.

.

.

“A shield that protects the family. Defense.”

While teaching sign language at the academy, an unexpected accident occurred.

A teacher who learned sign language suddenly activated magic. The fireball threatened to burn down the training center, but I quickly activated a defensive spell to stop it.

“Let’s see…, Sky?”

[Yes.]

I asked the instructor what happened.

He must have learned all the sign language by reading the textbook, and he skillfully explained the whole story using sign language.

According to his explanation, he was a wizard until he had an accident and injured his vocal cords.

He was also a very promising battle mage. This is the kind of talent who is expected to rise to the level of a semi-hero at a young age and become a ‘hero’.

However, due to an accident on the battlefield, he could no longer memorize the ‘chance’.

He was devastated that he could not work as a battle mage.

[Studying magic paintings was not my aptitude.]

“Magic picture…? Ah, magic circle. So?”

[I swore to devote my life to magic. So I gave up everything.]

“But the magic just activated?”

[Yes. I was worried, so I memorized the sentences using sign language.]

“It’s a chant. Yes. There are a lot of sign words that are lacking when it comes to magic…”

Rather than that, is it possible to replace magic chanting with sign language?

I haven’t tried it, but it seemed possible in principle. So I tried it out myself.

[May this beautiful and fleeting mirage be engraved with eternal starlight. Pilgrimage.]

When the magic was activated using sign language, the magic circle was completed and a halo of light bloomed at the fingertips.

It was a writing magic that allowed writing in the air.

“This is what happens….”

In this way, magic can be taught to the mute and deaf.

Of course, not everyone has magical talent, but it was a great harvest in that the scope of their use was expanded. Moreover, it was not necessary for only the dumb to learn this.

Even if you are a wizard who can memorize chants, you will be able to use magic using simplified sign language in urgent situations where speaking is difficult.

This is not suitable for the expression chanting….

Because it’s done by hand… Do you want to become a hand seal?

‘I will have to convey this to the academy later through the organization.’

It may be that a new magical strategy emerges. Although it may not be as useful as you think.

‘It’s a good start?’

Academy.

Rosa Primrose was taking class. He tried to concentrate on what the professor said as much as possible, but he couldn’t help but think of other things every now and then.

Most people were thinking about Plum R. Orchid, perhaps a half-man, half-horse named Ucheon.

People say Professor Plum sacrificed himself by stopping the demon army… There was a high probability that he was alive. There was also a story that several great nobles saw Professor Plum at the emperor’s wedding.

Of course, there was a possibility that it was someone else who suddenly disappeared in a terrorist attack that occurred right before the wedding and simply borrowed the name. Most intelligence organizations considered him to be one of those who infiltrated for ‘terrorism’. It is said that they planned a terrorist attack on the emperor by borrowing the name of a hero whose life or death was uncertain.

The exact circumstances were unknown as the person involved, the ‘Emperor’, kept his mouth shut.

But he thinks maybe he is the real Professor Plum. The reaction of the ‘warrior’ who became somewhat strange after attending the wedding was proof of this.

For some reason, I don’t want to tell you the details, but….

Still, I felt fortunate to be alive. I feel like that alone will ease this regret a little.

The reason why he suddenly disappeared like that after helping others as he pleases….

Honestly, I think it was too much for humanity. What are you going to do if you do a favor that can’t be repaid and then disappear like that?

‘I miss Professor Plum….’

That’s why I wanted to see Professor Plum.

I wanted to repay this favor in some small way.

Of course, this kind of thinking may be a nuisance to professors working in a place called an ‘organization.’

I couldn’t help it that one person was so deeply engraved in my heart.

“I have a new magic to teach you today. To be exact, it will be a new method that replaces the existing chanting.”

Well, first of all, I had to focus on the education at the academy.

Later, after properly inheriting Primrose’s territory and accumulating enough influence to contact the ‘organization’.

At that time, there may be a way to repay Professor Plum’s favor.

“That’s right, it’s a hand sign. It originated from the free city of ‘Emerald Marine’ on the other side of the continent, and it is said that it was discovered while developing a language for the mute who cannot speak. To use a hand sign, “You have to study sign language first….”

It was quite interesting to learn about ‘Suin’ taught by the head of the department.

If you can replace chanting with your hands, wouldn’t it be possible to use two magics at the same time by using chanting and hand seals at the same time?

If two magics that synergize with each other can be used together, future magic will advance into a completely new realm.

The ‘Magic Circle for Purifying Magic Energy’ developed by the head of the department using the magic circle left behind by ‘Plum’ was the same, and somehow I felt that the study of magic itself was making great progress.

Perhaps he is standing at a moment in history that will remain as a wizard?

If so, the name of Professor Plum R. Orchid will remain quite large there. Thinking like that made me feel better. Why are you like this?

“…So, since this is learning a new language system, I think it will take a lot of time to get used to it. Since there is not enough time for the magic lecture to teach it all here, I will later give a special lecture on ‘Beast Man’. We are planning to organize it separately. We will distribute textbooks on ‘sign language’ and ‘sign language’, so interested students can apply separately at the administration. This concludes the lecture.”

The teaching assistant handed out two copies of the handout to each of us.

There was one thick handout on ‘Sea Fish’ and one thin handout on ‘Beast Man Magic’.

I was reading a bit about sign language, but my head hurt, so I covered it again.

I might as well have been swinging a sword, but I was a bit weak in studying ‘language’.

Instead, there was a brief overview of ‘Beastman Magic’ and examples.

We read each example of water-sign magic divided into magic, water-sign, and interpretation of sign language.

There was a magic that was somehow familiar.

[Philippine magic]

[Yeongchang (Suin): A beautiful and fleeting mirage, may it be engraved with eternal starlight. Pilgrimage.]

[A magic that allows you to write letters made of light in the air.]

‘This chant….’

Because it was a form of sign language, the grammar was a little different, but the content was very familiar.

That’s right, because it was a chant that he himself put his head into.

At that time, he was learning about ‘chanting’ directly from Professor Plum.

Professor Plum taught him some magic, and he asked him to choose the chant himself.

The magic that Professor Plum uses is so beautiful and fleeting…

I created that chant with the intention of engraving that moment like the stars in the night sky.

At that time, I used handwriting magic while shouting a chant I had created myself.

Full of emotion.

─I think I like that professor.

… I wrote it!

‘Ahh! I’m embarrassed… ! It was a good thing Professor Plum didn’t recognize me….’

Anyway!

This was clearly a chant he had created.

And, the person who can create this extraordinary new magic and write down the chants he created as examples.

There was only one person in the world.

‘Professor Plum….’
