Ars Goetia – The Boy Called Incompetent Uses 72 Demons To Become Unstoppable

Chapter 52 - Special Training

“I’m ready when you are.”

“Then I’m ready when you are, too.”

The next day, I was meeting Orobas in the field.

Crocell and Valak were watching beside me.

What I’m going to do now is to fight with magic.

I’m not that strong right now, partly because I’ve only recently learned to use magic.

I was lucky enough to win the duel with Rikal thanks to Crocell’s intervention, and I couldn’t do anything in the battle with the Crater Rock Dragon the other day.

If Orobas hadn’t come to my rescue, my life would have been in real danger.

That’s why I decided to start training to fight against Orobas.

Of course, if Orobas were to get serious like before, I would be sunk in a single blow, so I asked him to go easy on me.

“Fist of the Earth Giant.”

Then I created an earthen fist from the ground and attacked him with it.

“Hmph!”

But Orobas sniffed and slammed his fist into it, and the earth giant’s fist was easily broken.

Then, I tried to make use of the fireball and the water blade to attack, but they are all easily avoided by Orobas.

I don’t think I can win……

I don’t know, I think Orobas is just too strong.

Anyway, that’s how I’ve been training with Orobas all day long.

“Uhm, Dr. Redon, I need to talk to you about something……”

The next day I went to school and visited my teacher.

“Hmm, what is it you want to discuss?”

The teacher greeted me with his usual stern face.

“Well, I wanted to ask you what I can do to become stronger.”

“Hmm, I didn’t expect Norman to ask me that…….”

It is true that it is strange for me to ask such a question, as I could not use any magic at all until just a few minutes ago.

“Have you learned to use earth magic yet?”

“Yes, I did.”

I remembered that I couldn’t use earth magic when he gave a class before, so I answered.

“Huh, let me see.”

So I put my right hand out in front of me and chanted.

“Earth, arise.”

Then, sand began to spill out of my right hand.

“So, Norman has finally learned all four systems of magic. I’m deeply moved.”

Even though he said he was deeply moved, Dr. Redon’s expression did not change.

By the way, the four systems refer to the four basic magic systems for magicians: fire, wind, water, and earth.

“However, it is natural for a magician to be able to do these things, isn’t it? That’s why I want to move on to the next step in order to master magic even more.”

“I understand……”

Mr. Redon makes a thinking gesture as he says.

” I guess you should learn some inherent magic too.”

Suddenly, I remembered the time when I had fought Rikal in a duel.

At that time, I was helpless against the unique magic that Rikal had unleashed. Thanks to Crocell’s intervention, though, we won the duel.

I think what I lack is the speed with which I can unleash my magic. The unique magic of Rikal, the Silver World, is a magic that creates countless knives.

In order to conquer it, I need to handle a lot of magic at the same time.

I think the only way to do that is to use inherent magic.

“It’s still too early for Norman to use inherent magic.”

“You’re right.”

I wonder if Mr. Redon is right and I’m too young to learn anything but natural magic.

“Yes, you should learn alchemy first. If you can afford it, then astrology and necromancy.”

“First, alchemy?”

It is true that alchemy is considered to be a basic field for magicians. I need to learn it, I guess.

I can learn alchemy with the help of a demon.

“So, Norman, what do you want to do now to get stronger?”

Suddenly, this question came from Professor Redon.

I couldn’t figure out what his intentions are, but I decided to answer honestly.

“I want to get stronger. I want to master the magic more.”

“You want to master magic? Then you should aim for a better institute.”

An advanced academy?

Surely, if you get into an excellent academy, you will be that much closer to the essence of magic.

“For example, how do I get into the Plum Academy of Magic?

Plum Academy of Magic.

It is a school for the most talented people around here.

Everyone yearns to enter the academy and train in magic.

Well, I understand that I’m at the bottom of the school and that it’s only a dream for me to get into Plum Academy of Magic.

But if I somehow could enter the Plum Academy of Magic, I would love to enter.

“It’s simple,” said Professor Redon after a moment.

“This school encourages students to fight each other. Do you know why that is?”

“No, sir, I don’t.”

“It’s because Plum Academy of Magic is a duelist school. The best person is the one who is the strongest in magic. That’s what the Plum Academy of Magic is all about.”

Duelism.

Interesting, I thought to myself.

“First, you must be the strongest student in this school, and then you will find your way to the Plum Academy of Magic.”

“Thank you for telling me that.”

I bowed my head.

It wouldn’t have been strange for me, who couldn’t use magic until a while ago, to get an answer about Plum Academy like “You can’t go to Plum Magic Academy anyway.”

However, Mr. Redon didn’t hesitate to tell me about it.

I’m grateful for that.

Be the strongest in school.

It’s easy to understand, isn’t it?
