137 – Magic (3)
I stayed behind and cleaned up after Godin’s instructions. The only thing I could do to clean up was to dry the soaked floor.
Originally, I would have had to mop it with a mop, but Grace helped. Of course, with magic.
“You can also use drying magic to dry things like this. It’s less effective than doing it yourself, but it’s great when you’re in a hurry.”
“Oh.”
“Try it too, Mr. Sivar. Mr. Sivar’s raw power is outstanding, so he might be completely dry.”
This is why if your brain is good, your body will be comfortable. I used the drying spell as Grace told me.
Then, the mop that was soaked with water instantly became soft and fluffy.
Pasasak-
“······Huh?”
“The sand…Is it okay?”
Beyond being soft, it scattered like sand. Desertification occurred because all moisture disappeared.
Grace seemed quite surprised as this was unexpected.
You probably didn’t know that all the moisture would evaporate just because you used the drying magic.
This is okay because I just need to adjust it a little more precisely.
“Hmm. Hmm. Just as the professor said, Sivar-san is strong, but he is too strong. So it might be better…”
“?”
“It’s nothing. Shall we just keep cleaning it up? I’ll be by your side and cast a drying spell on it.”
After that, I cleaned it up with a mop and Grace finished cleaning up by casting a drying spell on it.
You may ask why not use drying magic on the floor, but this is difficult even for Grace.
The drying spell works great on soaked items, while the floor is waterproof.
So I had no choice but to repeat wiping and drying.
“If you’re having a hard time, I’ll push you too.”
“It’s okay.”
“No. We have a lot of things to do together in the future, so we have to do something like this.”
When did you ever get to be with Grace? I thought as I mopped.
Except for when I go to see Godin or during lunch time, I don’t often do it. We all go together anyway.
I stopped her from mopping and diligently cleaned her floor. It is comfortable because the floor is waterproof.
“Grace.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“What do you do on the weekend?”
I get bored cleaning with my mouth shut. So I brought up that question.
It is very rude to ask about the private life of a noble person, especially someone like the daughter of a duke.
But I am Grace’s escort. I figure out what they do on the weekend, so I can stick with them or not.
More than anything, I don’t know anything about what she does on the weekend. She didn’t move around like Ellie.
“Oh. Is that by any chance a date request?”
“?”
“It’s a joke. Don’t make that face.”
As I looked at her with an expressionless expression, Grace scratched her cheek and looked embarrassed. It was so natural that it was absurd.
“As for what I do on the weekends… I don’t have anything in particular. Even though I wanted to call Yeon-joo, I always got the answer that he was busy and what he was doing every weekend. So I didn’t do anything and just stayed in the dormitory.”
“Aren’t you bored?”
“It’s better to be bored than to be scared.”
It is better to be bored than to be scared. This is an answer that needs to be pondered over.
Even though Grace has experienced such an incident, she lives proudly. At first glance, she appears to have overcome trauma.
However, the original trauma is not something that can be overcome in just a day or two. You definitely need an opportunity or motivation.
‘Is it me?’
It was a time when I felt hopeless.
Grace stared at me and said with an embarrassed expression.
“Well, if Mr. Shivar comes, I guess I can go outside. I’ll feel at ease.”
He spoke as if he was muttering, but I could hear it all. And then I realized what kind of situation Grace was in.
She has not overcome her trauma. To be more precise, I would say she is halfway through it.
You can live normally only if you have someone by your side who provides psychological stability.
The subjects are Lee Yeon-ju and me. Otherwise she wouldn’t be able to go out on her own.
‘That’s normal.’
I experienced such an incident at an academy where world-class talent gathered.
The fact that public security is good will sound like false words to Grace.
“I’ll take you with me. Every weekend.”
“Yes, yes?”
“I’ll take you with me. I have work to do instead. Please understand.”
I will bring it, but I also have work to do, so please understand.
I wanted to say the above, but unfortunately it is not possible with my current language skills.
But if you say it clearly and clearly like that, it will be enough to convey the message.
“Oh, of course! Rather, I’m sorry, right? It’s taking up Mr. Sivar’s personal time.”
“It’s okay.”
“Thank you. Really.”
Grace thanked me with her sincere gratitude on her face.
I am really grateful to see that the sharp cat-like eyes have become considerably softer.
“Good! Let’s go slowly with this. Let’s go!”
“··· ···”
Isn’t it? What kind of trick are you planning?
Grace clenches his fist as soon as he gives permission.
I can’t say that it was too obvious, so I just left it alone.
Even if it’s just a plan, it won’t cause much harm to me.
“You can’t be impatient. You just have to let it sink in little by little.”
[Faith rises!]
I became more anxious when I saw the message printed with those words.
******
After I finished cleaning up, I headed to Godin’s lab with Grace.
Grace originally worked as Godin’s assistant, and I am trying to figure out the identity of the red magic.
As I said before, Godin has tremendous theoretical ability. In other words, it means that the knowledge is very broad.
If Rode and Rize are knowledge gained through experience, Godin is knowledge gained through reading various books.
Knock knock knock-
[Please come in.]
After knocking, Godin gave me permission, so I opened the door and went in.
As soon as you open the door and enter, the first thing you feel is the musty smell of books.
The smell and the scenery inside were no different from when I first visited.
“Ah, you’re here. That’s right. Student Grace?”
“Yes, Professor.”
“Could you help me find some books? I want you to find all the books related to magic.”
There is no book that only explains red magic, so it looks like they are trying to find it one by one.
Godin’s memory is excellent, but he probably has little knowledge related to red magic.
On the contrary, it is more amazing to remember it even in passing form. Because I wouldn’t have been very interested.
“Sivar student can choose any book and read while I look for it.”
If that’s the case.
I nodded at Godin’s words and chose a random book.
It was a fairly difficult book, as expected from a professor, but it didn’t matter. All I have to do is improve my language skills.
‘Hmm…What was the proverb used in times like this?’
The black thing is the writing, and the white thing is the paper. This is exactly how I feel right now.
Does Godin understand everything while reading this? There are countless books like this.
I quietly closed the book and looked at Godin. He is perusing books to gain knowledge related to red magic.
‘I think it will take well over an hour.’

Is there anything you might be more interested in? I got up from my seat and looked around at the desk where Godin was sitting.
Godin is so focused that he doesn’t notice what I’m doing at all. Same goes for Grace.
Soon, I found a piece of paper lying on Godin’s desk. There were all kinds of symbols on the paper.
‘Now that I think about it, language and math are closely related, right?’
To be precise, there is almost no place where mathematics is not involved. It is included in most academic disciplines.
The most important thing is mathematical logic. Without mathematics, most academic disciplines would remain stagnant.
In particular, magic and mathematics are inseparable. There is even a saying that another word for magic is mathematics.
‘But I think I saw this somewhere?’
I couldn’t bear to touch it carelessly, so I just watched.
There were complex symbols and modifiers listed, but they were probably related to magic.
But nothing improved even if I kept looking into it. I took my eyes off the paper and looked around.
Godin was eagerly flipping through the books, seeking his knowledge. I think I’ll have to ask him first.
“Godin.”
“Yes?”
“What is this?”
When I asked, pointing to the paper, Godin’s eyes followed my finger.
Afterwards, he looked at the paper lying on the desk and said with a bitter smile.
“It’s a magic I’m researching separately. I’m still reinforcing the theory, so I’m embarrassed to show it to you.”
“Is this the study you mentioned last time?”
Grace asked a question in response to Godin’s answer. Instead of answering, Godin nodded his head.
Grace seemed to have a general idea of what kind of research was being done since she was an assistant.
“Grace. Do you know?”
“Yes, but it was too difficult so I gave up. If you just listen to the principles, it seems like they are trying to implement human intelligence separately… But I don’t even understand it based on common sense.”
“hahahahaha. That’s why I’m just making up theories. I haven’t really had anything to research lately.”
Godin scratched his head in embarrassment at Grace’s harsh words.
I also responded that I was embarrassed, but I wasn’t. I immediately realized what Godin was researching.
“Which one is it?”
“Shall I explain it simply or in a complicated way?”
“Simple.”
If it’s too difficult, I can’t understand it either. Even though I don’t know the knowledge of the Soul World, the knowledge of this world was too much for me.
Godin cleared his throat and began to explain. There was a small smile on his lips.
“It’s convenient to think of it as making a kind of calculator. It processes human calculation abilities instead and produces results accordingly. A rough explanation is like this.”
“That with magic?”
“Yes.”
What Godin is trying to invent is very simple. In modern terms, it is called ‘artificial intelligence’.
Magic is language, and various magic can be used through language. It is used in reverse.
“Is it possible?”
If you ask whether this is possible, you can give a simple analogy.
“It’s just a way to pass the time. I don’t plan on doing it seriously either.”
It is convenient to think of it as a mode or use map that goes beyond the limits of the game.
