The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing
#4 - You regret my shadow [ask for bookshelf, ask for recommendation]
The large house was in the center of the village.
It was two or three times larger than the other houses in the village, and its appearance was slightly more imposing, making it easy to distinguish it from the others at a glance.
This was the home of the Red Demon clan chief.
A middle-aged man sitting on the sofa had a tightly pursed mouth and a deeply furrowed brow.
Even after six years, his appearance was still memorable.
Still so annoying!
Zun Zun only felt his blood surge and his eyes glow red. If there were a system, it would definitely send out a [Warning, Warning] red-hot overload reminder in his mind.
The more he looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the opposite sofa, unmoved, the angrier he became. In the end, unable to restrain his emotions, he blurted out:
“—You will regret this!”
“Zun Zun, I am the clan chief!”
The middle-aged man retorted in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zun Zun couldn't hold back any longer. He snorted coldly, pushed the door open forcefully, and stormed out of the clan chief's house.
After walking a distance, he turned his head to look at the large house behind him and couldn't help but mutter, “This guy isn't even old yet, so why is he so stubborn?”
The scene of [You Regret, I Shadow] just now was the result of his request to activate a job skill card being rejected.
He didn't expect the clan chief to be so stubborn.
No matter what he said, he wouldn't budge.
Whether it was coercion, enticement, or playing the emotional card, there was no room for negotiation. He was so unyielding, giving even less hope than that aloof goddess… Although this was much better than those xxn who liked to keep you hanging.
Zun Zun knew the reason for the clan chief's refusal. He had given a very clear answer during their conversation.
—He was afraid that he would become a filler baby.
In fact, before this, there had been members of the Red Demon clan who wanted to light up their cards and choose a profession before the age of twelve, after all, it wasn't as if there weren't others as smart as him.
The Red Demon clan chief at the time had agreed.
As a result, the Red Demon youth who had learned magic became somewhat conceited. Thinking he was invincible, he ran to the front line—the Demon King's headquarters—to provoke them, and was never seen again.
From then on, the Red Demon clan no longer allowed anyone to light up their cards and choose a profession early, and even required them to attend school for basic education at the age of twelve.
As expected of the Red Demon clan, full of chunibyo, their ability to court death was extraordinary. Daring to run to the front line, and even the Demon King's headquarters guarded by the Demon King, to provoke them, he was truly a ruthless person who wasn't afraid of death.
Zun Zun really wanted to say that he wouldn't be like that.
But when he thought that the Red Demons were all guys with problems in their heads, it was understandable that he, as a member of the Red Demon clan, wasn't trusted.
Actually, it wasn't just that.
The professions in “Konosuba” are determined by one's own qualities. The Red Demons are indeed born to be great archmages, but many Red Demons' qualities don't meet the standards before they grow up, so they can't learn advanced magic. For example, that ruthless person who provoked the Demon King was only a great archmage who had learned intermediate magic.
And after hundreds of years of testing in the village, it was found that one's own qualities were basically fixed at the age of twelve, and that was the best time to activate the card and choose a profession.
…Wait.
In the original work, apart from Kazuma Sato, who was already sixteen when he transmigrated, and the goddess Aqua, whose age was unknown, whether it was Megumin, Darkness, or Princess Iris, they all completed their class change at the age of twelve.
Doesn't that mean that by maximizing one's own qualities as much as possible at the age of twelve, one can become an advanced class?
Uncertain, but very likely.
Actually, it doesn't matter much. “Konosuba” allows for secondary class changes. For example, the initial class is the most trashy low-level class, Beginner (Adventurer). When the attributes meet the standards, one can choose to change to classes such as Mage, Knight, or Priest. If the attributes meet the standards, an advanced class isn't impossible.
This gives him a new goal.
Before changing jobs, he would max out his qualities and get all the achievements!
As for magic…
The so-called magic is simply the application of magical power, and using magical power to directly and concretely affect the observable world. Since he can't learn the magic of this world, can't he use the magic of other worlds?
Magic = Incantation + Magical Power
Such a simple formula, he didn't believe that he couldn't cast magic with his own efforts!
The next day, in the small forest to the east.
“O Ruler! Mask of blood and flesh, all things, flutter your wings, you who are crowned with the name of Man! Scorching heat and strife, surging south across the sea, advance forth! Hado 31: Shakkaho!”
“Snake, Sheep, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!”
“This is the fire of origin, and also the fire of termination, now, past, future, the forbidden power that transcends all things. O flame, I am the destroyer, the cold-blooded one. Now, with my blood, with my flesh, I break the laws of the ancient gods—Explosion!”
“Zazas, Zazas, Nasnas Zazas, manifest!”
…
No matter how many strange and cool actions he made, Zun Zun's outstretched right hand had no reaction.
Could it be that JOJO posing doesn't work?
No, he was too presumptuous.
Not to mention the magic of other worlds, he couldn't even use the local magic. Even if he knew the incantation and the principle of magic, he couldn't cast it at all, and he couldn't even feel the activity of magical power in his body.
Zun Zun wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down on a stone with a thud, and put his hand on his chin in the pose of the Thinker.
The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Where exactly did the problem lie?
Was he being too ambitious in choosing such high-difficulty magic? But besides these, he had also tried beginner magic from other worlds and the local world, but there was still no change. Or was the method wrong?
Magic ≠ Incantation + Magical Power?
He was a little confused.
…Forget it, he didn't place too much hope on it anyway.
In that case, why not simply abandon the incantation and choose something simpler. For example, Rasengan, Kamehameha, Magic Missile, and other abilities that simply materialize magical power.
Think it, do it.
Adjusting his mood again and regaining his strength, he stepped forward into a bow stance, half-squatting, grasping his right wrist with his left hand, desperately mobilizing the magical power in his body, letting it gather in the palm of his hand in a spiral form, this was the handless ninjutsu Rasengan!
“Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!”
The shouts became louder and louder, his whole body tensed up and his eyes turned red, and dense sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. He used all his strength.
Don't they all say that boys are pretty relaxed the first time they come out? Why is it so difficult for him?
It's no wonder this method is difficult.
You have to know that “Konosuba” has always used magical power to manifest magic, and no one has ever been as simple and crude as Zun Zun in materializing magical power. After all, the conversion rate is not high, and it is not known whether it will succeed.
But these are worth trying! He will realize this unprecedented feat!
A surge of ambition welled up in his heart.
Zun Zun was, after all, a Red Demon, and had a natural tendency for chunibyo, so he worked even harder, with a kind of all-or-nothing momentum.
“I feel it! I feel it! The power hidden in my right hand, my… King's power, oh oh oh oh—oh…?”
Suddenly, the corner of his eye noticed someone hiding behind a tree not far away, sticking out his head to peek over, his eyes full of emotion and relief.
Seeing her, Zun Zun's passionate shouts subconsciously wilted, and the sharp turn in tone was laughable.
But he couldn't laugh now.
“T-Trap Sister?”
“Has this day come? As expected, Zun Zun is also a Red Demon. You've finally awakened, I'm so touched! Go for it, you're the best! Your right hand must be hiding extraordinary power! I believe in you!”
“…Wait! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!! I, I'm not a chunibyo… Trap Sister, I'm really not a chunibyo, ah ah ah!!!”
Zun Zun wailed loudly, misunderstood.
