138 – Magic (4)
What is the most important thing to wizards? It is judgment.
It is also important to chant and write quickly and accurately. But what kind of magic you use is more important than that.
To give an example, it is like this. Let’s say someone fires a water cannon at me.
In this case, it is enough to defend using fire or earth magic. This is the basic of basics.
However, if an attack mixed with lightning comes, water is meaningless. The lightning passes through the water and electrocutes it.
Therefore, the wall must be raised unconditionally, and if you mix these minor magics, the development becomes very complicated.
Moreover, he can use both hands freely, activate numerous magics at once, etc.
The higher you go, the more cases there are, making your head hurt.
“That’s why most wizards prepare powerful defensive magic separately. Although it consumes a lot of magic power, it is difficult to defend one by one.”
Godin explained it well just in time. Wizards prepare powerful defensive magic, not considering all cases.
There are only two wizards who can count all the cases. And two of them have ‘purple’ magical power.
Accordingly, the average wizard defends using inefficient methods.
Even in Soul World, I didn’t memorize all the corresponding magic except for the crazy ones.
I’ll tell you in advance, they are not stagnant people, but crazy bastards. Even I didn’t memorize all the corresponding magic.
“But there’s only one thing I want. To calculate the number of all cases and come up with the optimal alternative. If the human mind can’t calculate it, something else can do it instead, right? This is the research that started with that idea.”
“Even such an idea comes from a person. Is it really possible?”
Grace expressed a somewhat negative opinion. Contrary to opinion, it is a face full of interest.
Actually, her reaction is completely normal. Are you trying to invent magic equivalent to computers in an era where computers haven’t even been invented?
Moreover, the size of early computers was enormous. On the other hand, Godin does not make such machines.
“Well, you’ll have to give it a try, right? I’ll say it again, I started this research because I was bored. There’s no need to focus too much. Besides, there are a lot of shortcomings here and there.”
“But if it really comes true… It will be like giving all wizards a strong shield.”
“Yes. Most wizards have weak defense, so we are improving that.”
Moreover, due to the limitations of the times, it is specialized only in defense. Like Jarvis somewhere, he won’t take everything into consideration.
However, this alone does not change the fact that it is amazing. It’s literally like giving wings to a tiger.
You have to deal with the magic used for defense, but it doesn’t matter. This is because efficiency is considered.
“Can I defend myself when fighting a warrior instead of a wizard?”
“Yes. It is a form in which the power and magic contained in the attack are analyzed and an appropriate defense mechanism is activated accordingly.”
“Oh… That’s amazing. Then, can you stop meteors falling from the sky?”
“Well… You can stop it, but it would be better to just run away.”
Grace was negative at first, but then became interested and asked various questions.
Godin also explained it with an expression of excitement, but honestly, from my point of view, it was a bit of a surprise.
It is very briefly reduced and passed over as artificial intelligence, but in reality, it is magic with all kinds of modes.
‘Did you say you’re a person who builds apartments with Lego?’
This is a truly appropriate metaphor. At the same time, it shows that magic has no limits.
It will take a long time for that magic to be completed, but it doesn’t matter. You can teach me later.
In order to do that, I am getting to know Godin little by little. Of course, there are things that help us become closer not only in terms of magic, but also in terms of knowledge.
“Anyway, I’ll end my research here and explain the red magic power. Due to the limited records, I can’t explain much. Please understand.”
“Yes.”
“Well, first, would you like me to explain the origin of magical power?”
“No.”
It’s been so long. I also read the book, so I know about the origins of magical power.
Godin was quite taken aback by my firm answer, but then smiled sheepishly.
“You seem to know. To explain briefly, magical power is divided into evolution theory and creation theory. The theory is that magical power was created for humans to survive, and the logic is that it was a gift from God.”
If it were Earth, it would have given strength to the theory of evolution. However, this is a world where the existence of God has been confirmed.
Even magic was passed down by God, so creationism carries a lot of weight. There are even fanatics.
Rize previously mentioned that the theory of evolution would not have even sprouted without the help of Chaos.
“The same goes for red magic power. It is known to be the magic power first used by humans. However, some say it is the magic power first used by living creatures, not humans.”
“Um…”
“For some reason, the first magic power, or red magic power, was injected into mankind, and it gradually developed into what it is today. From what I have seen, it is like this.”
After listening to Godin’s explanation, a thought came to mind. But the word didn’t come to mind.
In the end, after much deliberation, I opened my mouth, even gesticulating with my hands.
“What was it? You know that.”
“What?”
“Force? No, it was someone’s hand?”
“Are you sure you want to say it’s artificial?”
“Yes!”
When Grace spoke accurately, I responded energetically. My stuffy stomach was relieved! It feels like it’s breaking through.
Grace also had a proud expression on her face, as if she was happy.
“Heh. You have to at least read minds. You have to communicate well with each other to be able to live as a couple…”
“Huh?”
“It’s nothing.”
I’m sure I said something later. It’s not important, so you can skip it.
Godin also nodded his head as if he agreed with my reaction, which was somewhat artificial.
Afterwards, he stroked his chin for a moment and said in a tone that he, too, thought it was strange.
“As Sibar said, there are artificial aspects to it. It is too powerful a power to be developed by mankind on its own, and it is difficult to say that it was a gift from God. So most people just say it is a gift from God and move on. “
It was a contradiction in terms from my perspective as someone from Earth, but I felt like I could overlook it if I just said that this world was just a gift from God.
However, humanity is a curious species. Thanks to questioning and delving into it, the theory of evolution finally emerged.
Of course, both theories have many artificial and contradictory aspects. This is why we are fighting.
“Then what exactly is the red magic power that Mr. Shivar possesses?”
“Well, it’s suitable for creationism… But it doesn’t mean it lacks intelligence. The same goes for evolution. I think it would be a good idea to visit Byzantium later.”
“I’m going.”
Rod also said that. My existence is so full of doubts, so please visit Byzantine.
Maybe you can visit during this vacation. Since Rize was there at the time, it would be more than enough.
“I’m sorry for not being of much help. I don’t know why, but there are almost no records left.”
“It’s okay.”
The gods of this world are like that. It was a mistake from the moment they brought me in, even though I was living well.
[I have faith…]
Except for Chaos, of course.
As soon as I thought about that, a message was printed out.
Soon, it disappeared in the above state. It’s really absurd.
“Well, that’s all we have to do. Do you have any other questions?”
“Yes, but it’s not a question.”
“What is it?”
“Wait a minute.”
This is an idea that came to mind after seeing Godin’s formula. I got up and headed for the door.
Godin and Grace looked at me with questioning expressions.
“Do you want to go to the bathroom?”
“No.”
Soon, I answered briefly as I opened the door.
“I’ll bring someone.”
Rattle-
******
Who on earth are they bringing? This is the thought that went through Godin’s mind.
Sometimes, Gada Sivar commits all kinds of eccentric, yet obvious, acts. Like right now.
You just said you were bringing someone and then left them behind. If it were a normal person, it would have been so absurd that it would have made no sense.
“Um… When will Mr. Sivar come?”
“··· ···”
“Mr. Grace?”
“Yes, yes?”
Grace was startled by Godin’s question. It seems like he is overreacting more than usual.
This is not the only thing. His shoulders slumped and his eyes trembled anxiously.
When Sivar was next to me, he had a uniquely confident attitude, but now it was completely different.
“······Are you okay?”
“Yes… It’s okay…”
It doesn’t look good at all. Godin thought so after seeing Grace’s reaction.
In fact, Grace was always like this. Every time he was around as an assistant, he acted like he was being chased by something.
Moreover, sometimes I even glance this way. It was closer to a glass artifact that looked like it would break at any moment.
‘If you look at the condition, it is similar to separation disorder…’
Since he was almost treated badly by Delphi, it may be natural for him to be reluctant to meet men.
Fortunately, he lived a fine life because he was Grace. If he had been an ordinary person, he would not have been able to get over the shock.
‘Will he be different if Mr. Sivar is next to him?’
Maybe so. Sivar was Grace’s benefactor who saved her from danger.
If your benefactor is by your side, it is natural to feel calm. The problem is the moment it goes too far.
If it goes too far, Sivar will naturally become distant from Grace, and her condition will gradually worsen.
I’m still watching, but if I see any signs of that in the future, I plan to give some harsh advice.
‘Why did I get caught by such a fool… It’s a shame.’
Godin couldn’t help but feel sad, but he checked his watch. It’s already been 20 minutes since Sivar left.
The more it happened, the more severe Grace’s anxiety symptoms became. At first she was shaking her legs, but now she was biting her fingernails.
She wanted to stop him, but she was just shocked. She didn’t have much effect anyway.
‘You have to come quickly…Who are you trying to bring?’
Knock knock knock-
In a confusing and awkward situation, someone knocked. Godin and Grace looked towards the door.
[I’ll go in.]
Rattle-
The door opened wide with a familiar voice. At the same time, Shivar’s face appeared.
Grace’s expression brightened for a moment, but she froze in that state as the new person appeared.

“Isn’t this a laboratory? Why did you bring me here?”
“To show you.”
“What?”
Surprisingly, the person Sivar brought was Jane. She was wearing work clothes, as if she had been working in the workshop just a moment ago.
Also, blue hair stuck to various parts of her face due to sweat. Still, she couldn’t hide her beauty.
“······Mr. Sivar? Who is he? I think he is a student.”
While Grace was examining Jane, she asked Godin in a puzzled tone.
I was wondering who they were bringing, but they brought someone who seemed to be a student.
Even looking at the exterior, it was assumed that he was a blacksmith who was far from magic.
“Genius.”
“Genius…?”
“Yes. Work for my money.”
“Hello! I’m Jane Brennan from the Engineering Department! I’m currently a sophomore!”
Jane greeted me energetically in a situation that was difficult to understand.
I don’t know what it was, but I thought I should at least say hello.
“It’s a woman again… Why only women…”
“··· ···”
Godin lightly ignored Grace’s muttering from behind and looked at Jane.
If you look at the engineering department, it is a non-combat position. And Godin is well-versed in other majors for theoretical research.
Starting from physics, mathematics, engineering, etc. I tend to study everything related to magic and make it my own.
“Godin. Give me that.”
“Yes?”
“I studied it. I want to give it to Jane.”
Shivar suddenly asks for the magic formula he has been researching. Godin was a little shaken, but nodded his head.
His own research was not only incomplete, but also beyond what a single student could understand. The theory is only roughly established.
Godin then handed over the formula she had written on her paper to Jane. As soon as Jane handed over her paper, she raised her glasses and looked at it closely.
“Um…”
“··· ···”
Do you really think you can understand? Jane is on the mechanical side and she is on the magic side.
Thanks to Santia, we can combine them, but that’s a separate area. Godin didn’t expect much.
‘Still, if you look at what Mr. Shivar brought, there must be something, right?’
Although he commits various eccentric acts, he does not do anything unnecessary. This is an evaluation of Sivar.
As she was waiting silently, Jane’s eyes slowly widened and she immediately exclaimed in a surprised tone.
“Wow, that’s amazing! It’s a formula that automatically calculates numbers for numerous cases…!”
“Hmm?”
Godin’s eyes widened slightly. It seems like he figured out the principle just by using a simple formula.
It is natural to become curious about this. Godin asked cautiously.
“Have you figured out what the principle is?”
“Of course! However, it seems to be unfinished… It seems to be consuming too much magical power and may even cause overheating.”
I expected even that. It’s a theory I created myself, but it would be strange if I didn’t calculate it.
Godin held out his hand to Jane with a rare smile of genuine anticipation.
“Please explain further.”
“Yes! If you inject magic power here, the resistance will be too strong…”
While the two geniuses were having an in-depth conversation, Shivar sat next to Grace.
As soon as Sivar sat down, Grace subtly pressed her body against him.
“Uh…Mr. Sibar?”
“Yes.”
“Who is that woman? By any chance…”
Grace asked with a voice full of doubt. I wondered if he was a new competitor.
Shivar looked at the two people who were discussing intently. They already belong to a different world.
“Genius.”
“A genius?”
“Yes. And you’re an idiot.”
“······?”
Grace blinked. The response is that they do not understand the contradictory explanations.
But there was nothing better to explain Jane. Although he is a genius, he is often fooled like an idiot.
“Jane, did you say? Could you visit my lab sometimes? I can help you if you need knowledge.”
“Really? Thank you so much!”
“Ah. What is gratitude?”
Godin spoke with narrowed eyes.
“Am I more thankful?”
This time, despite his appearance, he gave off a really suspicious vibe.
