Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

Since the three of us have finished strengthening the three of us, we decided to go through the forest and head for the town.

I heard that the town beyond the forest is a fortified city called Volzard.

Isn't it cool to be a fortified city or something? It seems like a very different world, doesn't it?

By the way, what did Kent-sama need to come to Volzard for? It's a suicide mission to go into the forest alone.

'What?

I told Reinhardt that I had been summoned from another world after all this time, and that I had been sentenced to go alone through the forest as a last chance to get out of the forest because my magic power judgment was off.

''But this means that you've gotten rid of the person who got in your way, right?

''Yes, I can only think of it that way, since this forest is a dangerous forest that is difficult to traverse without a group of people with an escort.''

According to Reinhardt, this forest was spread by the outbreak of tree-shaped monsters, or torrents.

Because of the reason why it spread, there were a lot of demons living here, and it's said that they had a lot of trouble cutting through the forest and restoring the original path back to its original state.

Even so, the fact that they were able to regain their path is a kind of human willpower.

Then, if it means that I traverse this dangerous forest all by myself, then my value will be reevaluated.

''Of course, one must be a top-notch adventurer or master-class martial artist to traverse this forest alone, and if you hear that you can use magic with both the dark and light attributes, you're sure to receive superior treatment.

Oh I guess my time is finally coming.

I can't contain my excitement at the situation that every junior high school student dreams of getting a cheat ability in another world.

I wonder if they can feel my feelings as a summoner, the three of them are also excited.

But wait a minute, if you get carried away like this, it's a promise that you'll make a painful mistake.

Let's not rush into this place, let's stop and think, let's do that.

And in order to think, we need information to make a decision.

So I've decided to ask Reinhardt and the others to teach me about this world.

''As expected of you, Kent-sama, it's wonderful that you're not conceited even when you've obtained unparalleled power.

'No, no, no, it's a gift when it comes to power, and I don't think I've ever been able to use it, and besides, I don't think I've been treated well after being summoned.

After all, it's obedience or death, and if you go back unprepared, you can bet it's going to be terrible.

Oh, I'm just wondering if you're okay, my sweetheart.

Come to think of it, it's not at all new, but it seems that the summons is still the only way I can understand the words over here.

I mean, that's the only way to explain it, you know, I had Reinhardt write the letters, but I can read them too, and I can write them if I want to.

Seriously, the person who created this summoning formula and such is amazing.

According to what Reinhardt and the others told me, the place I'm currently in is a monarchy called the Riesenburg Kingdom.

Come to think of it, I remember that evil princess using a family name like that.

By the way, I asked Reinhardt and his friends for the name of the princess Camilla, but they don't know it.

It seems that a lot of years have passed since the death of Reinhardt and his friends, and they haven't been out of the forest during that time, so it's only natural that they don't know.

By the way, I heard that we were summoned as soldiers, but does the fact that we need soldiers mean that we are going to war with someone else?

"Common sense dictates that, if you're gathering troops for war, you'd normally gather them near the battlefield, but here, in the middle of the kingdom, you're rather near the center, away from the borders of the other kingdoms.

Well, I don't see why we need to bring nearly 200 people to a place so far from the battlefield.

''Well, if you think about it, the third princess may be planning to usurp the throne by force.

Ah..........I see......it's a coup d'état......come to think of it, that evil princess seemed to have a strong desire for power......does that mean that we are involved in a power struggle for the throne?

"There seems to be a high probability of that, doesn't it?

'Ummm...'

This is going to be a poor thing to do if you don't think better and better about how you're going to behave.

This is starting to look like it would be better not to go back to the soko.

When it comes to a coup, we can't talk about it unless we know what's going on inside the country right now, right?

So, I decided to think about how to behave myself, I decided to go to Volzard and investigate the current situation before I think about it.

The next thing I need to know right now is the knowledge about magic.

So I immediately asked Reinhardt and the others about magic, and they all have basic knowledge of it, but it's not their forte.

I'm sorry Mr. Kent, but we are all knightly types, and we don't have much knowledge of the arts.

Hmm? What does that mean?

According to Reinhardt, in addition to the six attributes, there are two main categories of magic.

One is the so-called magic-using feel-emitting surgeons, and the other is the circulatory knights who strengthen their bodies, and Reinhardt and the other three are the knight types who are good at the circulatory system, he said.

''Most of them are usually biased towards one or the other, it's rare for someone to be able to use both types of magic, and all of them were valued in the country.''

Well, I guess I'm the surgeon type, then.

'Perhaps so, but with a genius as prodigious as Master Kent's, or maybe even a circulatory system spell, you might be able to use it.

It's better for you to protect yourself, right?

Yes, but in Mr. Kent's case, we'll be on hand to protect him.

Yeah, well...

Since there are Skeleton Knights with such vicious performance, I doubt any half-hearted attacks will be able to reach me.

But there's one thing that's really bothering me.

You know, is it safe to be in the city and with everyone else?

That's not...

Ah, I guess it's still no good.

Normally, no matter how many times I summoned them, in the eyes of others, skeletons are still a kind of monster.

You can't just walk around the city with them in broad daylight, can you?

I don't mean to brag, but I've been a clunker since I was in Japan, but in another world I'm just a kid with no common sense, and I have zero confidence that I can make it across the world without Reinhardt and the others.

When I was at a loss as to what to do about it, Basten told me.

''I've heard when I was still alive that dark-attribute mages can lurk in their shadows and use their shadows to summon messengers from afar, and if you are as talented as Kent-sama, isn't that possible?

''What? Dark attribute magic can do that? That being said, I don't even know how to use magic right now.......

When I said this, the three of them all waved their hands in front of their faces as if to say, "No, no, no, no..." and Reinhardt said on behalf of the three of them.

''Kent-sama, you summoned us unconsciously and strengthened us to this form, and if you say such a thing, you'll be cursed by all the mages in the world.''

Ummm.....I don't know if that's true, but....

According to the three of them, my magic is said to be out of the ordinary.

Normally, they say, magic is only activated when you properly chant the spell while imagining the activation in your mind.

I've heard that just imagining it is enough to use magic like I did is beyond horseshit.

It's a good idea to try and see if you can summon a shadow using that method if you say you can use magic just by imagining it.

Oh, well, if you don't know, you can try it.

I decided to adopt Basten's suggestion and see what I could do with it.

And I tried it, and it was awesome, it was a cheat, a cheat.

I was able to summon everyone from the shadows, and I was able to move everyone through the shadows.

Not only that, I was able to sink into the shadow myself, and even move through the shadow.

Even if something attacked me and I thought it was bad, if I ran into the shadows, I would have no problem.

Hee-hah! Right here, right here, oh, yeah! It is.

It seemed that the dark-attribute mage could interfere with another space called the shadow, and he could even create his own personal space and leave things there.

With this, after entering the city, I can just have everyone stay in the shadows.

Originally, my conversations with everyone were similar to telekinesis, so it's also convenient to be able to do it with everyone in the shadows without any problems.

As expected of the rare dark attribute, its cheatiness makes me fall in love with it even by myself.

This is the time of the arrival of the popularity, no doubt.

I'm not a fan of the idea of a "good" or "bad" person.

I'm not sure what kind of magic the dark attribute magic is, but what kind of magic the light attribute has?

The attributes of light can be used for healing and evading magic.

'Hoho, it sounds vaguely like what I imagined, but I wonder if evisceration magic is effective against any demons?

"Well, we don't know much about it, but we do know that while powerful light magic is effective against all demons, it's usually more effective against undead demons, such as us skeletons and zombies.

Yeah, it's kind of what I had in mind.

I think it was the light magic that I unconsciously used when I sent Reinhardt and his friends.

Also, I think it's probably the same thing that regenerated the body that was eaten by the goblins.

''If you can use light magic, can you bring back to life even a dead person?

''I've heard that's impossible, and I've heard that a great healer can save the life of a dying man, but it's impossible to bring back a completely dead person.

I see, and I guess that's the realm of necromancy from there.

''How true, but if you're Kent-sama, who can use magic with both of those attributes, the line between the two can be quite blurry.

I see...

After that, to actually try out the light magic, I hurt my hand a little bit, and when I imagined the wound healing as I covered it with the palm of my hand, I was surprised to see that the wound that had been bleeding disappeared without a trace.

But when I thought about it, I didn't need to be surprised when this level of wounds disappeared, since the intestines had been dragged out and eaten, but they were still pinned up without a scratch.

''Kent-sama uses a bullshit dark attribute magic.......the light attribute is also bullshit......''

Really?

According to Fred, it's not unusual for healing magic to the extent of healing a cut, but he has never seen healing magic that can regenerate from a state where the internal organs are dragged out and even eaten and missing.

Reinhardt and Basten both nodded in unison, cringing.

It is said that light-attribute magic is not suitable for attacking, except for undead systems, and that light-attribute mages are mostly supporting the rear rather than fighting on the front lines.

The light-attribute mages themselves are rare, and if the healers are killed first, it is because they are meaningless.

However, if I lived in modern Japan, lasers are the only way to attack with light, and light weapons in anime are the most popular.

So I tried many things to see if I could make it happen.

I started off by emitting light, and when I started, Reinhardt and the others were damaged by the light, so I had them evacuate into the shadows in a hurry.

I almost wasted my efforts to strengthen them for protection, dangerously.

I guess it's impossible for magic to use a ray of light weaponry.

The image I have is that it's like converting magic power into light, pouring magic power into it to strengthen it, compressing it, setting a direction and then releasing it, but at the point of pouring magic power into it, my eyes go.............

Even so, I couldn't give up on the ray weapon, so I left Reinhardt and the others unattended and continued to go through trial and error, and now I've created a method of attack.

In short, we just had to switch the procedure.

Compress a large amount of magic power and convert it into light the moment you decide on a direction and shoot out, that's it.

However, it's impossible to use a laser with such a high power output that it becomes a thick line, like in a robot animation, so it's a bit like being able to punch a 5mm hole in a tree with a shiny light, which is a bit of a shocker.

Moreover, it takes about 30 seconds to trigger it, but if you can shoot it instantly, it's going to be very powerful.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with the company, because it hits when you think you've seen it, and while you do it yourself, the magic of the light attribute is also not a cheat at all.

It's not a bad idea to have a good time.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I don't care what it is, but why do I feel so hungry when I use magic?

''That's because you're using the energy inside the mage's body to convert the mana that exists in the air into the magic power of an attribute.

'I see, is the same circulatory magic that Reinhardt and the others were using?

And the higher the efficiency of the conversion, the stronger the magic.

I see, I see, that 'Crystal of Magic Eye' guy was looking at the attributes and its efficiency.

I cut off the practice of light magic for a moment and filled my stomach with tree nuts again.

It's delicious, but I'm getting tired of it.

Oh, I want some white rice and miso soup.
