I Became the Barbarian Power Mage of the Academy - I Became the Barbarian Power Mage of the Academy chapter 21

Episode 21 A New Friend.

Arias’s question is answered by Balt as if there is no need to worry.

Magic also goes well with the earth attribute, so what is there to worry about?

Even the items are Baltic with earth attribute enhancement items.

“Hmm, the earth spirit would be nice.”

As expected, Arias nodded her head.

“Okay, it goes well with you.”

Then he begins to gather mana.

“Pinema Zography Mia Econa.”

The spirit Undi jumps out of Arias who speaks an unknown language and starts painting by spraying sparkling water on the ground.

Arias points to the sparkling picture and speaks to Balt.

“Go sit over there.”

“Hmm.”

Arias begins to explain as the huge Balt sits on the painting.

“It’s a magic circle that helps to summon spirits. Put your hand on the ground and concentrate to summon the earth spirit. As I said, there is no guarantee that you will succeed unconditionally. Even if you have spirit affinity, some will do it in a few hours, and some will do it in a few hours. Even if you try for a year, you can’t do it because it’s a spirit summoning.”

Bald expresses doubts about Arias’ words.

“I have the same elemental affinity, so why?”

“The spirits are free and fickle. They don’t go to people they don’t want.”

This is an understandable explanation.

In other words, you need to be selected.

I’m trying, but I’m Balt who didn’t expect too much.

“What do you mean by summoning a spirit?”

Arias begins to think about Balt’s question.

“Hmm… It’s hard to say exactly because it’s different for each person… Even if you use the same magic, the images are all different, right? It’s similar to that. Balt Keep calling that spirit that you think is the most spirit.”

It’s an abstract concept, but Balt understood it well.

Speaking of dogs, it would be like someone thinking of a Jindo dog, someone a Maltese, and someone a Welsh Corgi.

Balt puts his thick hand on the ground and says.

“I’m ready.”

Arias gathers his mana again and speaks.

“It’s better to close your eyes. It’s easier to remember that part, so let’s begin. Finema Empaniste Edou.”

The magic circle of the land began to shine even more, and Balt closed his eyes and began to imagine the spirit of the earth.

Anyway, the spirit of the earth….

A body made of earth or stone with a little bit of moss, and unlike other spirits, it has a bit of heavy silence….

The imagination of the earth spirit begins to become clearer in Balt’s head, probably because of the elves’ special ability to help summon the spirit of Arias.

‘Oh, yes, that’s you.’

It’s not exactly what he imagined, but it’s roughly similar to what Balt imagined.

Perhaps it is a low-class spirit, it is small in size and has bright black dots in its eyes.

However, the upper body of an inverted triangle is more developed than the lower body, which is only made of round stones.

In a way, its appearance resembles a muscular Balt.

Whether it’s Balt’s imagination or it’s really a spirit, Balt tries to talk to the spirit that popped into his head.

‘Nice to meet you. I am Balt.’

When Balt greets you, surprisingly, the imaginary spirit responds happily.

‘I… Paddle… cellar… half… It’s gone….’

Despite her cute appearance, her voice is low and low, befitting an earth spirit.

I have no mouth, so I don’t know what to say.

I recommend Balt to the spirit.

‘Would you like to come with me?’

The gnome, who seems to be thinking for a while, answers by rolling his dark eyes.

‘You… Nice scent… The scent of the vast earth… I go with you.’

‘Welcome. Gnome. My first spirit.’

***

Lisa, who was watching Balt while swinging her sword, put down her sword and asked Arias.

“Whoa! Arias, did this take this long?”

Two hours have already passed.

The two closed their eyes and protected Balt, who sometimes smirked.

“Yes, it takes about a day for elves to make a spirit contract. It’s probably going to be difficult today.”

Even for elves, a spirit contract is a big family event, like a coming-of-age ceremony.

Because only when you have one spirit can you become a true elf.

Actually, Arias didn’t think Balt could immediately contract the spirits.

It’s just that you owe your life, so you have to pay the price….

No, I was actually curious about Arias as well.

I wonder if barbarians with spirit affinity can summon spirits.

“Aren’t you supposed to wake me up? You keep smirking so terribly?”

“There’s no way that’s the case… But maybe it’s communicating with the spirits…”

If you communicate first in a spirit contract, your affinity is not normal.

When the two of them were talking like that, Balt’s eyes opened and Lisa, who found it, said.

“Huh? Did Balt come to his senses?”

But Balt didn’t even look at Lisa and spat out a low voice.

“Gnomes.”

Then, mana began to gather around Balt’s chest.

Piriririric-

Byong!

From noble mtl dot com.

Arias is astonished when he confirms that the earth spirit has appeared in front of Balt.

“No, that’s ridiculous!!”

Balt looked at the gnome in front of him with a warm expression.

“mmm, that’s cute. It’s like a little geryungtu made of stone and dirt.”

The gnome floats up and climbs on Balt’s head.

‘Gnomes… Height… good night.’

Balt smiled and said.

“Yes, that’s your seat.”

Lisa, who has been closely watching Balt’s actions, asks.

“Is that a spirit? Really?”

At that time, Balt remembered the prank that Undi played on Lisa.

Then the gnome makes a very small stone and throws it at Lisa.

Perfect!

“Ouch!!”

‘Hoo!? I was just thinking! You mean you can know my heart?’

Lisa and Arias are startled when stones fly from above Balt’s head and hit her head.

“This, you know, a spirit!?”

Balt smiled and said to Lisa who rubbed her forehead.

“Yes, I am a gnome, the spirit of the earth.”

Arias was surprised by something else.

“Without orders? Did you even achieve fairy tales?”

“I don’t know what it is, but it does something similar to what I think.”

“Three, my God…”

It is difficult even for elves to do fairy tales like that right away.

She herself is also the daughter of the Elf Queen, so it was easy for her to assimilate the spirits….

Arias’s interest in Valt grows even more due to her greater elemental magician’s qualities than she thought.

Bald asks Arias one thing.

“What can a spirit do? What can I do to get help?”

Yes, that’s it.

It is expressed as receiving help rather than using spirits.

There are many people who treat spirits as mere tools, but the savages in front of them recognize the spirits as a subject, as it is natural.

‘The elves might have misunderstood the savages….’

I thought they had the worst relationship because they had opposite tendencies, but Arias thought that the barbarian in front of them was closer to the elves than any other race.

“It’ll be easy if you have that in mind. Ask the gnomes what you can do. Then ask. It’s not an order. Please.”

Having heard Arias’ advice, Valt asks the gnomes.

‘Gnome, what can you do?’

Then he felt a strange sense that the things that gnomes could do naturally flowed into Balt’s head.

“Please, gnome.”

Then, the mana drained from Balt’s body, and a large, sharp stone was created on Balt’s right shoulder.

And fire!

Shuuuk!

Plop!

A stone fired into the lake in the distance created a column of water.

It is said that the elemental magic that exists in the world was originally modeled after the behavior of elemental spirits.

What the gnome is casting now is undoubtedly a perfect stone bullet.

However, the power itself is far inferior to Balt’s.

Valt confirmed that and asked the gnome once again.

A stone that was created in front of Balt again.

Bald picks it up and checks it.

‘Solid! Is it spirit power? Then?’

Balt casts an enchantment on a stone made by a gnome and puts magic on it.

And try to squeeze it with all your might.

Puduk pududeuk!

It looked like it was cracked little by little by Balt’s power, but if it was a normal stone, it should have turned into powder instantly when Balt held it.

Of course, you can break it with more force.

However, the spirit power, enchantment magic, and stones containing magical power seem to be able to withstand the formidable Baltic grip to some extent.

‘Isn’t that amazing? If it’s this!’

The harder the stone, the stronger the destructive power.

What if the gnome threw it instead of shooting it?

It was the moment when Balt’s physical magic became even more powerful.

Even Balt knows that his throw is strong.

So he thought of carrying a throwing dagger, an ax, or a javelin, but those are one-time consumables and not magical.

The stone has earth magic, so you can claim it as magic.

Besides, the stone that the gnomes created now is wrapped in Balt’s enchantment and mana, so its strength feels better than a cheap dagger.

Of course, iron must be stoned to be hard, but since there are gnomes, Balt’s ability to supply and demand stones is said to be infinite as long as mana exists.

Balt has become more profitable in many ways by obtaining spirits.

“hahahaha, that’s a lot more helpful than I thought! Thanks gnome.”

At Balt’s words, the gnome’s black eyes roll back and forth.

‘Separation… no….’

It seems to be an expression of joy. Somehow, the way he speaks feels similar to Balt.

Undy is also on top of Balt’s head and is playing with a new spirit friend.

Water cannot exist if there is no land to flow through.

Because even the sea exists in the depths of the sea, where there is a land that supports the sea.

It’s understandable that the two quickly became close.

Doesn’t the five elements also say that the earth is strong against water properties? I don’t know if that applies though.

Arias’ open mouth still doesn’t know how to close it.

“Great, great…”

Lisa says while looking at Balt who is delighted.

“The Balt really looks like a wizard, right? Boo, I envy you!”

Actually, this is an unexpected achievement even for Balt.

I can’t believe a barbarian can handle spirits… But in a way, it’s understandable.

The savages just don’t have magic, but they are closer to the earth than anyone else and love the earth.

They even worship an earth god called Geractus.

It’s only natural that you can make a contract with the earth spirit.

Even affinity with spirits is affected by magic, so barbarians didn’t have affinity with spirits.

A new possibility raises its head again.

If you get a chance, you should learn how to make a magic circle to summon spirits from Arias.

As I remembered, Balt asked Arias.

“Can you learn the magic circle to summon the spirits?”

The spirit summoning magic circle is the vision of the elves.

I don’t know how to use it, but no matter how much Baltra saved my life, I couldn’t leak it.

“Sorry, that’s the vision of the elves…”

It’s unfortunate, but I can’t beg you to teach me my vision.

For now, I should be satisfied with this level.

Since there are also human elementals, there must be a way.

“No. I was being rude. Thanks anyway. Arias made me a good friend.”

Arias naturally smiles at Balt, who describes the spirit as a friend.

It feels like the surroundings are brightening up with an elf-like great appearance and a bright smile.

“I was just a little helpful. It’s because of your affinity.”

***

After that, Balt went to the training ground every day and spent the day experimenting with this and that.

The day after tomorrow, the entrance exam for class organization will be held.

This is why you should arrive at the academy early.

Because the entrance exam starts a week before the entrance exam.

Just like that, when Balt returned to the dormitory after another repeating day.

You find someone in your dormitory room.

‘Huh? Who is it?’
