Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 215



Only Noblemtl

Episode 215 Sky Fairy (6)

There is nothing unusual about a mercenary group taking action upon receiving a request. Rather, it would be suspicious if they took action without receiving a request.

The Brave Mercenary Group, which was a splinter group of the Demonic Cult, was also, on the surface, a normal mercenary group that traveled around the northwestern archdiocese and carried out various requests.

Therefore, when Galen and Lilia first received the report containing the current status of the mercenary group, there was only one thing on their mind: whether the client had really called the mercenary group because they needed it, or if it was a pretense.

But if things have come to this, then isn’t it unnecessary to make a distinction?

“The Amino Family. Among the small and medium-sized families subordinate to the Protein Family, they are one of the most powerful.”

Galen muttered as he flipped through the book and found the part where the family’s name appeared. Lilia, who was reading along with him, responded.

There is also an expression, “The pocket knife of the Protein family.”

“If it’s described as belligerent even at the top of Kalia, it seems it’s not usually aggressive.”

“There are people who use other people’s power to get even more violent. It’s a bit weak for a pocket knife, though… … .”

“In the first place, a pocket knife is just convenient, not strong. It would be something like the Alaba family.”

If you were to say that they are on the same level as the Alaba family that ruled the Great Desert, it would seem like something incredible, but the Great Desert, which is a wasteland and has hit rock bottom in popularity, is a place that the prestigious families have no interest in in the first place.

They were a family of only a few dozen people, without even a single golden power, so they were a trivial family that was not worth remembering to them, the jewels. The Amino family was exactly at that level.

“What are you talking about with all this power?”

“But now, isn’t it a good thing?”

“That’s right. Whether you called because you really needed it or because it was a disguise… If you know, it’s obviously a crime, but even if you don’t know, you’re not free from responsibility.”

“If you send the amino acid like that, and then link it with the protein above and send it… … .”

“I think we can even bring Typhon in. Since the two families are so close, we should live together and die together.”

As they put their heads together and whispered to each other, the outline began to take shape. The two people facing each other nodded at the same time.

“Shamita.”

“Did you call?”

Shamita, who was reading the booklet she had received, raised her head.

“I’m not sure if it will work, but I’ve picked out a method that might work.”

“already?”

“Coincidentally, while we’re at it, I think there might be a way to help Shamita as well.”

“Really? What a happy coincidence.”

“So, I need to ask you what you are going to do.”

“How do you do it?”

“Actions. What are you going to do while we take care of the work? I guess you must be very busy since you are moving around without resting even at night.”

“I can’t say I have free time though.”

Shamita nodded slightly at Galen’s question.

“But I just wanted to get things done in a hurry. There was no specific time limit or anything. I moved at night just to avoid being noticed. I couldn’t run at this speed during the day, right?”

“It will definitely attract a lot of attention.”

“You even wore a hat that hurt your ears to hide the fact that you’re a fairy, but that’s not right. In this day and age, if you say that fairies are buying information from humans, it could send the wrong signal.”

“You’re smart. Anyway, what are you going to do? We can move together, or we can part ways here. As long as you leave a way to contact me.”

“Um… would it be okay if I came with you?”

Shamita asked a question after thinking for a moment, then added immediately.

“I don’t mean to distrust your work. I’m just curious.”

“Well, I don’t really mind.”

Galen looked around, smiling inside but acting indifferent on the outside. Lilia smiled brightly.

“I like it too!”

“Thank you. Then I will take good care of you.”

Shamita showed her gratitude without being overly formal. As they greeted each other, Galen asked,

“You’re not expecting to get the work done tonight, are you?”

“That would be great, of course, but I don’t think it’s a very realistic story.”

“If you squeeze out all your magic, it might be possible.”

“There’s no need to go that far. If it can be resolved, then what’s the problem with time? Oh, of course, I wish you wouldn’t delay it on purpose… … .”

“We don’t think that will happen because the sooner we handle it, the better. Well, I agree with you that there’s no need to rush things.”

“The leader of the group is Galen… no, Lilia? Anyway, I am just a person who got involved. I will not interfere with the travel itinerary.”

“Okay. Then let’s start by looking for a nearby city. I don’t want to end up sleeping rough in a place like this. Do you know the geography of the area?”

“I don’t know much about the human realm, but I’m better off than you, who are new to this path. Which way?”

“I think the northeast would be fine.”

“I will guide you.”

Two people and a fairy cleaned up the place. Since all they had eaten was dried food, and the teapot and teacups could just be washed, there was nothing to clean up.

“Are you going to fly again?”

“Since we’ve already flown this far, let’s just keep flying. It might take a few hours to walk to the next city.”

“i get it.”

“What about Shamita? Are you comfortable on the ground?”

“It consumes slightly less magic power if there is a pedestal, but the ground has small obstacles anyway, so that’s it. I’ll go to the sky.”

“As you please.”

Galen said as he retrieved the temporary fire spirit and created the air spirit.

Shamita drew up her magical powers. The magic unique to her race, called the power of the sky, enveloped her.

hook!

Shamita’s body lightly hit the ground and bounced away as if it had no weight.

The wind spirit followed. Galen and Lilia, carried by the spirit, leisurely crossed the night sky.

Several towns passed by in an instant below, but Galen wanted a proper inn, not just a roof to avoid the night dew, so he passed until he reached a city.

Shhhhhh!

Since it wasn’t a chase like before, there was no need to keep the speed as high as possible or keep the distance. Shamita fell back a little and went almost side by side with the two.

She opened her mouth after watching the two people for a while with her body facing forward and her head turned to the side.

“Galen, can I ask you something?”

“Please speak.”

“You clearly used the power of the earth earlier.”

“If you are talking about the magic of the earth elf, then yes.”

“There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize that unique magic.”

Shamita nodded as Galen admitted it coolly.

“But how is that possible? The feeling was unmistakable, but it wasn’t magic at all like I knew it.”

“Well, I’m not an earth fairy. I might have to change a bit to fit the human’s needs and stuff.”

“… In such cases, isn’t it normal to not be able to learn it because it doesn’t fit? In the first place, I’ve never heard of a human being being able to learn fairy magic. How did you learn it? No, who on earth thought to teach you? Did you really receive instruction?”

In the past, that is, before reaching the level of a jewel, it was a question that could not be answered carelessly.

If there is a wizard who can steal other people’s magic without being taught, then he would be the public enemy of all wizards in the world. You have to be very careful.

But now, even in the church, Galen is treated as ‘just an out-of-the-ordinary genius’, let alone the fact that there is a wizard who can tackle him.

Galen could now speak confidently.

“To be honest, I didn’t receive any formal training. After hanging out with him for a few months, I naturally came to understand the principles.”

“For how many months?”

“Was it last year? I was invited to the festival back then!”

“Well, it wasn’t entirely out of pure goodwill; there was also the intention of entrusting us with a request.”

“… The exchange was much deeper than I thought? I thought seeing each other’s faces a few times in the border area was considered exchange.”

Shamita, who had been half in doubt, had no choice but to believe it after listening to the two people’s alternate statements.

If you say you met Rushad and Radika in person, you have to believe me. How could a human know the names of the chairman and vice chairman of the Earth Elf Federation General Assembly?

“No, wait. Last year?”

“Right? It was last summer, right?”

“It’s only been a little over a year, and you’ve reached this level through self-study?!”

Shamita’s expression showed shock, as she had been bound once before and was aware of the level of magic.

It’s been a while since I reached the current level, the golden peak, and I might burst into rage when I realize that my leveling up has been blocked and I’m at a standstill.

Galen shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.

“At my age, shouldn’t I be able to become a jewel and learn other magic as well?”

“No… that’s true, but… … .”

Shamita, who was at a loss for words, finally gave up on pointing it out. She muttered softly.

“If what you say is true, I will soon master the power of heaven.”

“If that happens, I apologize in advance.”

“That’s enough. It’s ridiculous to blame someone for learning something on their own when it’s not magic that can be learned by being taught in the first place.”

“You’re not that angry, are you?”

“Do you want me to be angry?”

“Of course not.”

“Why should I get mad at you for imitating my magic after seeing it and getting inspired by it? If you’re going to get mad at me for that, then you shouldn’t be using magic in front of others.”

It wasn’t an imitation, it was a real theft. Even if he knew that much, he doubted whether Shamita would be so generous. Galen decided to keep his mouth shut about the truth for the sake of peace.

“But it won’t be easy. Especially since you’re used to the power of the earth. The power of the sky is a completely opposite power, so it’s usually not awkward.”

“If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing you can do. Just move on and say it was a good experience.”

But no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem impossible.

Galen glanced at the remaining status window and smiled faintly.

* * *

Five days passed.

To be more precise, it was early in the morning on the sixth day.

“ha…….”

Shamita was sighing repeatedly inside the carriage.

“Why are you so dead?”

“It’s because of you.”

Shamita, whose expressions had become slightly more expressive after five days of companionship, gave Galen a cold look.

“It’s upsetting to see something like that so early in the morning, of course.”

“Shouldn’t the original achievement be shown to the teacher first?”

“What kind of teacher are you? And you should have shown it to Lilia first.”

After a long flight on the first day, Galen only used the carriage. Since it would only take a few days to get to the destination by carriage anyway, he thought there was no need to bother using horsepower.

The group had grown from two to three, but there was not much difference from usual, so the work was similar to usual.

Since the first time they met, the two of them often enjoyed sparring whenever they had free time, so it was natural for them to seduce Shamita during that time.

Even without considering their age, Shamita was also interested in the skills of the two people who were extremely strong, so she hung out with them a few times.

[Liberation of Sky Lv.2]

[2% progress to next level]

That was enough for Galen.

It wasn’t a duel where we used all our magic power, so the progress was a bit slow, but we still had a few fights.

In last night’s sparring, I finally completed the progress bar and acquired Sky Liberation.

When I took a deep breath and met him again this morning, he asked, “Is this right?” and gave me a little teabagging.

In fact, after Galen mastered the power of heaven in just a few days, Shamita was in a kind of sage time. Even though she had decided to let it go as generously as possible, this was still a bit much.

“Well, don’t worry too much about it. No matter how hard I try, I’m just a copycat, so I can’t be as good as Shamita. Maybe?”

“I’m not saying that I’m losing my energy because of that… but thanks to that, I definitely feel like I have to work harder in the future. I’ll make sure that what you say is true. The original can’t be defeated.”

Finally, Shamita sighed to collect her emotions and looked straight ahead.

At that moment, Lilia, who was looking out the carriage window, said.

“I think we’ve all arrived!”

Since Shamita joined, the group has been heading straight for the Brave Mercenary Group without looking anywhere else.

I didn’t touch the Protein family or the Amino family first for no reason. The core of it was the mercenary group.

The distance the carriage traveled was a bit ambiguous, so we couldn’t arrive cleanly yesterday, so we rested for a night and left early this morning, arriving after about two more hours.

The carriage soon arrived at the village.

The Brave Mercenaries staying here were very easy to find.

There was no way a village inn of this size could accommodate an entire mercenary group, so they rented an empty lot at the entrance to the village and set up tents in a row like a military camp.

“excuse me.”

“What, you guys?”

As the three approached, the mercenaries on guard frowned. It was rare for a mercenary to be friendly from the start, so Galen paid them no mind.

“Are you the Brave Mercenary Group?”

“Yes, that’s right. Who are you?”

“I am a traveler passing by. I would like to see you briefly, sir.”

“Now is not the time for that.”

“It’ll only take a moment. It’s important—”

“I didn’t say no.”

The mercenary interrupted the conversation and struck a wall. Galen thought for a moment, wondering if this was a sign that he wanted some pocket money.

“Is there a reason why not?”

Lilia stepped forward. To Galen’s chagrin, the mercenary’s iron wall seemed to be weakening in front of a dazzling beauty. The mercenary coughed loudly and said.

“First of all, I am out of the office right now.”

“Aha. Then what about the next highest person?”

“It must be hard since most of the lords are absent. Those who remain are in no condition to meet anyone.”

“Do you feel sick somewhere?”

“That’s right. He is injured.”

I was just asking, and the answer I got was that it really hurt. Lilia laughed heartily.

“Oh, really? Should I look at it for you?”

“See you?”

“I am a priest!”

As I slightly released the power I was controlling, the stigmata in my eyes, which were barely visible as if they were there or not, were clearly revealed.

In fact, it was suspicious that the stigmata could be controlled, but the simple mercenaries simply thought that they had not seen it properly.

“Oh my, you’re a priest?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t know!”

“Excuse me, but could you please look after the patient? The Lord is badly injured… … .”

“Yes. Please guide me!”

To the mercenaries who were always injured, the priest was truly a noble among nobles. Their attitude changed in an instant.

Thanks to Lilia, Galen and Shamita were also able to enter the barracks in one go.

The mercenary led them to a large, luxurious tent.

Someone was lying on a makeshift bed inside the dark tent. A weak voice was heard.

“What’s going on…?”

“My Lord! I have brought you a priest!”

“What… what?”

A middle-aged man called Daeju, lying down with blood-soaked bandages wrapped around his head, blinked.

“… A priest? What the heck all of a sudden?”

“I heard you happened to be in town! Get treatment right away!”

“Now, just a moment.”

“Stay still, patient!”

Lilia, who had moved to the bedside, pressed down on Daeju’s shoulders. Daeju ended up being pinned to the bed, not knowing where her slender arms had gotten such incredible strength.

Phew!

Immediately the light of the Holy Spirit illuminated the inside of the tent.

But there was something strange.

If you are receiving treatment, your expression should naturally become more relaxed.

For some reason, the expression on Daeju’s face as the darkness cleared seemed very bewildered.

“Somehow, I thought from the beginning that your breathing was too stable.”

Lilia smiled, still looking down at the pillar without a nail in it.

“You’re not even a patient?”
