Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me - Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me chapter 20

20 – Basic Magic Lesson (2)

Me and Charlotte took turns learning the basic spells written in the book.

It was common sense to learn how to deal with the magic within the body before entering the academy, so there was no need to start there.

If the law to deal with mana is arithmetic, then spells are a kind of formal system.

Even if it was a spell he had never encountered before, as long as he knew how to deal with mana, it would become something if he followed it once.

“Shh, shield!”

“…… Oh?”

“Do, boy! I’m done! Wow, is this real?!”

“Shield magic, right? Is it better than the one in the book?”

Joseph couldn’t interact with her because he was far away, so Charlotte and I looked at each other’s magic and demonstrated each one.

To be honest, even before coming to the academy, the two of us had read books in the mansion and used this and that wild magic, so there was nothing new about it.

But after receiving guidance from the professor in such a spacious and nice classroom, I felt like I was learning properly, and my heart was pounding.

“Oh, the defensive magic ‘Shield’.”

Meanwhile, as Charlotte deployed her magic shield in front of her, Professor Darnay approached and gave her advice.

“Among general magic, this defensive magic has a high rarity value. Originally, humans called wizards like to pierce something rather than block it.”

“Really?”

“Anyway, Miss Charlotte seems to have the ability on this side. If you are interested, it would be okay to focus on defense magic, right?”

“hehehe… ….”

I thought deep down that Charlotte’s personality had an effect on her aptitude for magic.

She Charlotte, because she was good at protecting others from a young age.

She used to say that if by chance another maid made a mistake on her part, such as breaking her plate, she would go ahead and write over her guilt saying that she was her fault.

Of course, neither her parents nor our siblings knew that Charlotte had done anything wrong, so she didn’t scold her.

“By the way, Deneb-kun… ….”

On the other hand, I wasn’t particularly good at all the magic I cast.

I tried spirit-type magic or summoning-type magic, so I didn’t have any talent at all, so I couldn’t use it, and weakening magic was too weak.

I was able to do general magic as well as others, but that was just about it.

“Wait a minute, did you forget about protection-type magic?”

“…… Yes.”

I scratched my head shyly.

The reason I didn’t dare to practice protection-type magic was simple.

‘I’m not very attracted to you?’

According to Professor Darnay’s explanation, divine protection was a magic that priests used only when they supported others.

In particular, I had no intention of living as a priest in this life, nor did I want to merely assist someone else behind the scenes.

So I subtly put off the protection-type magic and passed it on, but Professor Darnay snatched it up.

“Let’s try it. First of all, the speedy magic ‘Haste’.”

“Where should I use it?”

“You can use it on me.”

I cast my spell on Darnay without much expectation.

I was just excited about being able to learn magic, and I didn’t have any thoughts of wanting to do exceptionally well.

Above all, I never expected that I would only be good at protection-type magic.

…… However, the result was completely unexpected.

“Ugh, aaagh!”

“Professor?!”

“This, this won’t stop!”

“Cancel! Cancellation! No, why can’t I cancel this?!”

I only took one step forward to check the effect of my magic, but in an instant Darnay ran to the end of the room and almost put his nose into the wall.

I tried to walk back to my place, but this time I ran to the wall on the other side of the classroom and hit my forehead.

Then, at some point, it suddenly returned to its original speed.

“Keok, kuh, heo ok… ….”

“Professor, are you okay?”

“Boss, it’s just a Bocchan’s magic… ?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know what happened….”

I kept my eyes elsewhere as the other students stared at Professor Darnay, who slumped on the floor and calmed his aching stomach.

“…… Whoops.”

The girl next to me was sleeping coolly just a moment ago.

She was rubbing her newly awakened sleepy eyes, pointing her finger at Professor Darnay.

‘No way… ….’

As soon as the thought flashed through her mind that maybe it was the girl who helped Professor Darnay return to normal speed, she stared back at me.

But as she parted her lips, she was about to say something to me.

Professor Darnay, who had lost control of his speed and fell, hurriedly ran up to me and stood in front of me.

“The spell Heist, Deneb-kun just cast must be correct, right?”

“Uh… yes, right? But the professor’s clothes are very dirty.”

“This is fine. I found a great magic talent, but can clothes like this be a big deal?”

“A magical talent?”

I looked around and pointed at me.

“Me?”

This is the first time I’ve properly learned magic.

I thought it was nonsense, but Professor Darnay kept his voice calm, as if trying to explain why I was a magical genius.

“Ah, Deneb-kun is not good at all magic. Magical geniuses throughout history have usually mastered all kinds of magic at will. General magic, as well as other magic.”

“…… Is that so?”

“Yes, but these days, magic is subdivided, and more and more wizards dig deeper into one category of magic than cover a wide range of magic. That would be specialization.”

I nodded at Professor Darnay’s words.

Well, in the past, wizards used to hypnotize the basics of fireballs, and they used to do everything by themselves, such as giving protection or weakening enemies.

That’s why the ransom price went up ridiculously.

“By the way. Deneb-kun has a genius talent for this protection-type magic.”

“Is that enough?”

“I don’t think I can adjust the heat yet… It’s one of the wizard’s maxims. There are bad things about not having enough firepower, but there is nothing bad about having too much firepower.”

“That’s a saying I like quite a bit.”

“Yes, once you have the same level of firepower as the magic you cast on me a moment ago, after a few years of polishing and polishing, you will be able to become a promising protection mage.”

I don’t know if it’s combat, but I didn’t expect magic, but it didn’t feel too bad to have a talent for magic.

But if there was one complaint, it was that the field of talent was protection-type magic that specialized in helping others other than myself.

It’s not flashy general magic, weakening magic that’s useful in many ways, or mental magic, or even summoning magic that’s unique and attractive…….

Why is it a protection type magic?

“Didn’t I say that priests mainly deal with protection-type magic? I don’t really have any intention of becoming a priest.”

Speaking in a slightly regretful tone, Professor Darnay was taken aback.

Perhaps he was concerned that an outstanding talent would not bloom with his insufficient explanation, he immediately added an additional explanation.

“Hmm, hmm… I’m saying this because Deneb-kun is good at protection magic, but it’s not just priests who use protection magic.”

“Is that so?”

“There are cases where some warriors cast protection spells on themselves during battle. However, this is a very rare case, so please understand that it was not explained in class.”

“It is a protection magic for oneself… ….”

It was only after listening to Professor Darney’s additional explanation that I became interested in protection magic.

No matter how good your aptitude is, it’s hard to learn if you’re not interested.

I don’t know anything else, but at least I wasn’t the type to help others in the rear of the battlefield.

However, if I apply protection magic to my weak body and fight, it’s the same as removing my shortcomings so far.

It was a definite advantage to learn protection magic.

“Of course it will never be easy. Casting magic while fighting by moving your body is easy to say, but very difficult. If anyone could do it easily, there would be no distinction between warriors and wizards.”

“Is that so? Thanks for the advice. Let’s try.”

It felt like I had an unexpected income in my first class.

Honestly, learning magic was my goal, because I never thought that I would be good at magic either.

In fact, even in my previous life, a fellow wizard in the resistance said, “I don’t have the slightest talent for magic, so I should continue doing assassinations, which I’m good at.”

The soul is the same, so the body has changed, but this body seemed to have a talent for magic in its own way.

“hehehe, hehehehe…” ….”

As Professor Darnay left to look after another student, unpleasant laughter kept leaking out.

I’m so happy that I’m not only good at fighting, but also talented at magic.

But at that moment, I felt another gaze from somewhere.

Without even turning my head, I could tell that it was the gaze of the white-haired female student in the seat on the left who had been staring at me earlier.

‘Does he really have something to say?’

Come to think of it, I was about to say something earlier, but Professor Darnay interrupted and it was canceled?

I was curious at this point, so I even thought about whether I should speak first.

But this time, as if I had made up my mind not to just stare, the white-haired girl finally spoke directly to me.

“Denev Rehinar?”

“…… Uh, how do you know my name?”

“Do you know where magic aptitude is determined?”

“Suddenly? No, more than that, what’s my name?”

She didn’t care about my question and continued.

“It is the personality. There are people who don’t seem to have a personality and aptitude, but there is a deep connection between personality and magic.”

“…… Okay?”

I don’t know why he’s suddenly doing this to me, but I decided to keep listening because what he was saying was interesting.

“The reason why the girl next to you is good at defense magic is probably because she has a tendency to protect someone. Don’t you feel it?”

“Gye, b*tch. At the first meeting, the words were too much…….”

“It’s noisy.”

“Yes… ….”

The wrinkled Charlotte hid behind me.

The female student’s words were similar to what I had thought earlier, so I became more interested in her words and asked a question with twinkling eyes.

“Then what about me? What am I?”

“As you can see from just looking at it, you are good at protection-type magic. Much more than that girl has a talent for defensive magic.”

“Ohh… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

I was saying the same thing as Professor Darnay, but strangely more trustworthy.

More than that, there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask from my side, such as how that girl knew my name and how she looked suspiciously like Justina.

She was still half-doubting whether it was Justina or not.

But while we were talking about magic, I wasn’t in the mood to ask questions, so I decided to watch the situation for now.

“It must have something to do with my personality. Because those who are good at supporting and helping someone from behind are good at protection-type magic.”

“I help someone… ?”

“You don’t have to stick to the expression of helping. The ability to raise or raise plants or animals well is also a basis for proficiency in protection-type magic. So…….”

“So?”

Suddenly, the white-haired schoolgirl blushed and hesitated to speak.

“So, do you guys… ….”

After hesitating for a long time, she finally closed her eyes and spat out her words.

“…… Uh, have you ever raised children?”

“Young children?”

After thinking for a while, I replied.

“No.”
