Magicraft Meister Part 1

When Reinhardt asked Erza if she was planning to return, Erza replied,

"Yes. I'm sorry."

She bowed her head. Reinhardt looked sad, really sad,

"Well, if you've thought about it and made up your mind, that's fine. I mean, it's strange for me to say that it's good or bad.

Then he turned to Jin,

"Jin, I know I'm such a poor cousin, but please take good care of me.

Jin bowed his head.

I knew that Jin would have to take care of her for the time being, so I nodded my head in agreement.

"I'm a bit of a fool," he said.

Even Erza said that to him. I don't think she knows what she's saying, but it seems to me that < means something else.

"...... But I can't believe Jin really wasn't born in this world.

It was a line that Reinhardt had casually uttered once in the hot springs of Kunlun Island.

"Yeah, well, you know.

"No wonder you're not familiar with the common sense of the world."

"But that makes sense."

Reinhardt and Erza each seemed to be convinced of the unreasonableness of Jin's existence.

In such an atmosphere, Jin said

"Now it's just a matter of what we're going to do.

Jin said another purpose of inviting Reinhardt.

"From now on?"

"Yes. I've given the Unifilers an ultimatum. That probably won't stop them."

Jin folded his arms and said this with a difficult look on his face.

"They claim to be , but in reality, I think they just want power. I don't like the way they are doing it. But I can make tactics, but I can't think of strategy.

When Jin said this, Reinhardt nodded his head in agreement,

I see what you mean. You want someone who can see the big picture.

"Well, yes. Well, to be more precise, I want the knowledge of such people. <

When Jin said this, Reinhardt smiled wryly,

"Well, I guess Jin has a way of doing that," he said.

Reinhardt laughed and said, "Yes, Jin has a way of doing that, doesn't he?

"No, I heard it was a common technique in the past.　Well, there are some drawbacks: if the person resists too strongly, the transcription fails, and while it can be done on golems and automata, it can't be done on humans. Besides, it can't be used if the person isn't suitable for it."

"Hmm?　When Jin inherited the knowledge from Adriana's ...... predecessor, wasn't he able to do that?"

"Yes, that's it. It's impossible because you have to have the same magic pattern as the person in question to be able to synchronize with them. That's why it took Reiko a thousand years to find me.

Hearing this, Reinhardt is disappointed.

"...... I see. I'm sorry to hear that."

"Can't my brother Rai remember the transinfo?"

Then Elsa says something that comes to her mind.

"Sure, it would be nice if Reinhardt could use transinfo, but I hear it requires a lot of aptitude.

Still, he said he would give it a try anyway, so I asked Reiko to help him and we decided to see if he could transfer from magi crystal to magi crystal.

Jin and Reinhardt are similar to each other in that they start doing this in the middle of a conversation.

"Look, the formula is like this, and the key word is like this.

"Hmmm. I guess it's not so easy after all."

"Well, we're just looking for aptitude, so you don't have to succeed the first time."

"Okay. Okay, let's give it a try. "

For a moment, the Magi Crystal seemed to glow faintly. Reiko had been tracing the flow of magic with her tracer all along,

"I'm sorry to say, but your aptitude seems to be low. But with training, you will be able to use it up to level 2.

He concluded.

"Level 2? How high is that?"

"Yes, ......."

Level 1 for language knowledge, 2 for behavior and movement patterns, 3 to 5 for general knowledge, 3 to 7 for specialized knowledge, and 6 to 8 for subconscious. Reiko explained that the level of subconscious is about 6 to 8. There is an overlap of levels due to the complexity of knowledge.

"So level 2 means words and behavior/action patterns. ......"

Reinhardt is disappointed. But,

"But it still means we can make a much more advanced golem!"

He recovers quickly.

"Brother Rai is a crafting fool after all."

Elsa mutters in a whisper next to him.

"......Would you like to give it a try, too?"

Jin casually asked Erza.

"Yes, let me try.

So I'll let Elsa do the same thing.

"<>...... How's it going?"

"I think I'll be able to use it up to about level 3."

"What!　I envy you, Erza!

Reinhardt shouted loudly. Erza saw this and gave a small laugh.

I'm so jealous of you, Erza!

Anyway, is there anyone close to you who can plan a strategy, even if it doesn't have to be very sophisticated?

"Of course there is someone."

Reinhardt looks confused.

"......, sir?"

"What?"

Erza said someone's name. I didn't catch it, so I asked her again.

"...... Brother Moritz."

"Moritz?"

"He's the brother above Elsa."

"Elsa's brother?"

"Yes. Moritz may be weak in body, but he is said to be the most resourceful man in the world.

The younger brother Fritz is the brains and the older brother is the frail intellect. Apparently, there are two extremes in the family. Well, it would be better if the brothers cooperate with each other, but Georg Randall von Amber, the father of Erza and her siblings, is not on good terms with Wolfgang Randall von Morgan, the father of Reinhardt. The brothers are not necessarily close.

"You don't have to be that good, though."

Lao Tzu's computing power is probably tens of thousands of times greater than a human's, and given a basic knowledge, he could simulate it himself and become proficient in no time.

"No."

Jin then had a thought.

"Why don't we make a military strategist and a general staff?"

"Jin?"

Reinhardt looked at Jin thoughtfully. Jin panicked,

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about it.

He apologizes. Then he says

"Well, it's not like it's going to happen anytime soon. I wonder if I can get a full-body armor.

"Full body armor?"

"Yes."

Jin explains. Anne's knowledge of the "reinforced armor" was also included.

"Reinforced armor!　I'm interested in that too. It may be difficult to procure it in the Kingdom of Selroa, but I'll see what I can do.

Reinhardt was also interested and agreed to think of a way to obtain it.

"Finally, what about me?"

When Jin said this, Reinhardt looked sad.

"I see. So this is the end of your trip with Jin.

"Huh?"

Huh?　Isn't that what you were talking about?

Jin denies it.

No, no. No, no, no. I'm interested in traveling, too. There are still many things in this world that I don't know about, and I'm interested in the Shoro Kingdom.

"Really?"

Jin smiled and nodded.

"Really? I would never lie about something like this. I just thought I'd stay here for a few days to get my equipment ready.

I explain.

"Tomorrow, right?　The day we cross the Torres?"

Reinhardt nods.

"That's right. Aside from the people, there are no boats available to take the wagons. If we miss tomorrow, we'll have to wait for another day.

Jin pondered.

"Can we join them later?"

Reinhardt asked,

"It would be difficult, but yes. After crossing the river, there will be a barrier and the personnel who enter the special security zone of the royal capital will be checked. They are checked on their way out, and if there are more or less people, there will be trouble.

So we just have to stay here while we pass through the special security zone?

"Well, yes. About five to ten days.

Jin thinks again. 5 days is enough time to prepare a lot of equipment. The problem is the wagon. Without Jin and Reiko, there would be no one who could move it properly.

"Father, why don't you set up a warp gate around the ruins of that fortress?

Reiko suggested.

"Well, ...... the Kingdom of Celuloa smells fishy. We should build a forward base."

"What?"

Jin explained again to Reinhardt, who did not understand.
