Heavenly Magician
Chapter 5: Spell Paper

"Commander's report. Even now we are still trying, but no matter how much we try, the victims on our side we can't prevent anymore."

"Immediately treat the wounded, and order our troops to retreat first!"

"Good commander."

After getting the order from the Knight commander. The knight immediately ran away from his Commandant in the main tent.

Currently in a city east of the capital of the Kingdom of Freedom, there was a very rare incident of a dragon rampaging in the residential area.

Dragons are the revolutionary pinnacle of animals, they usually live on the island of dragons and have no intention at all to disturb humans.

But for some reason, now the dragon even rampaged in the human area.

After the Knight Commander gave orders to his subordinates, he also immediately prepared to return to the capital to report to his King.

"What do we have to do to kill the dragon." He muttered with an annoyed expression as he walked towards his horse.

Currently the Commander of the Royal Knight Order of Freedom was facing his King to report the situation.

"Your Majesty. I want to report the situation."

"Please?"

"Based on our current situation. I've decided to withdraw the troops."

"What. Why are you doing that?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The casualties on our side are already too many. I'm sorry, but I can't let my Knight become a victim anymore."

After hearing his Knight Commander's serious reply, the King slightly sighed and looked at the ceiling of his room.

"You're okay, Your Majesty."

"Hm. Y-yeah, I'm fine Prime Minister. It's just, what do we have to do to kill the dragon?"

The king muttered that with a resigned voice. His murmuring was also the same as what his Command muttered just now.

After his calm returned to himself, he looked at the Prime Minister standing beside him.

"Have you sent a letter of request for assistance to the neighboring Kingdom?"

"That's it, Your Honor. I even received the reply."

"What did they say?"

"They said that they would send help here, but the problem is that help will come in a few days, Your Majesty."

The Prime Minister answered the King's question hesitantly. He knew that his King would not blame himself for this, but somehow he was very anxious about the reaction his King gave.

"A few days huh? Can we survive a few days? If left too long, the dragon can attack other cities as well."

The king could not hide his fears anymore about the dragon's attack.

"What should we do, Prime Minister?"

"In my opinion, we better evacuate until the dragon leaves the Kingdom of Yang Mul_ "

"Rejected. I can't save myself and let my people die in the dragon's hands."

Getting a useless answer from his Prime Minister made the King very angry.

If he ran away. He will only continue to be haunted by guilt for running when his people are finished off.

"I'm sorry for what I said just now, Your Majesty."

Seeing his king angry. The Prime Minister lowered his head to apologize for his words.

After a while, the Prime Minister who is still in a down position tries to give the choice that should be.

"Then. We have no choice but to hold on while we wait for help to arrive, Your Majesty."

"Yes. Looks like we have no other choice but to hang on and wait for help."

The discussion between the King and his Prime Minister was finally finished. The king put his serious face back on and looked at the Commander in front of him.

"Commander. Treat the wounded Knight, and order the Knights in turn to watch the dragon move."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Answer the Command.

I am currently resting in the park after we both had breakfast.

It has been two days since we both left the palace.

We are currently in a port city in the Allent Kingdom.

We wanted to rest in this city, and continue our journey to the next Kingdom the next day

The food in this world is quite good, even if it is only incomplete.

"Finally we'll start our journey huh, Princess."

"Yes. I finally get to see the outside world after so many lam_"

Hearing a word that he thought was a little strange made a frown begin to fill the Princess' forehead.

Is there something wrong.

"A-is there something wrong with me, Princess?"

Miku only sighed as my innocent question came out.

"Can I ask you?"

"Hm. Yep. Pall-please?"

What he wants to ask. I can't guess at all.

I also felt a bad feeling behind his question.

Getting my approval made Miku start opening her mouth.

"Did Shin accept me?"

"Bahh."

I who was sitting with him suddenly jolted from the chair when I heard his question.

What did the question mean.

At first the King intended to announce our engagement before we left, but I prevented him from doing that.

The king was a little surprised when I prevented it, but he finally agreed to it as well after I said that the announcement would hinder our journey.

"yeah. Of course I accept you."

After hearing my answer. He smiled and asked the second question.

"Do you really love me?"

I initially fell silent as she asked about it, not because I didn't love her. But because I myself still do not understand about my way of life in this world.

But in the end I answered with confidence.

"Of course I love you." My answer.

The Princess started to smile when she heard my confident reply.

"Then why are you still calling me Princess, it's not that I don't want to be called that way, but I am your future fiancee. You'd better call me by my name now, huh, my husband."

"Hehh."

The second time I jumped out of the chair. But right now the reason for my jump is not because of his desire to be called using his name.

But it was the last word that came out of his mouth that shocked me.

The red color quickly spread all over my face after hearing him say that.

I also saw him covering his face with both hands in shame for his own words.

"Don't call me that first, we're not even married yet."

It's not that I don't want him to call me that, but it's too early for me.

Her red face instantly disappeared as another question she threw at me.

"Call me Miku from now on!"

"All right, Miku."

Now what was plastered on his face was not his pouting face anymore, but a sincere smile that was soothing.

➖➖➖➖➖

After we turned on each other this morning. We decided to go to the forest because Miku wanted to teach me more magic.

But before that, Miku told me to look at whatever magical talent I had.

Usually to see magic talent, a spell stone is required. But because the Allent Kingdom was an autonomous Kingdom. They usually prefer to use what they call spell paper.

But not for spell paper. The way to look at talent using spell paper was a bit different. It is the response of paper to magic that determines our magic talent.

The response of paper also varies depending on the talent. But overall, the response will be divided into.

Fire element: The Paper is Burning

Wind element: The paper is Cut

Lightning Element: The Paper Shrinks

Water Element: The Paper is Wet

Ground element: The Paper is Petrified

Dark element: The paper is blackened

Light element: The paper is flashing

Special element: The paper is luminous

But especially for special talents, usually the light on the paper will also be accompanied by writing about what special magic we have.

"Direct a bit of your magic onto paper, and we'll know if you have that elemental talent or not. Now try to grab one of these pieces of paper!"

I took one of the papers in his hand according to what he ordered.

Basically all the colors of the paper are the same, the only difference will be the response of the paper to our magic.

"alright. Try casting a little magic onto that paper."

As I channeled my magic onto the paper I was holding, the paper suddenly got wet and exploded instantly.

"Bright. What the hell just happened!?"

The exploding paper not only shocked me, but Miku as well.

With a face indicating that she still couldn't believe it, she said something to me.

"Usually the paper will only be slightly watery if the person has water magic, but it will be quite watery if the magic is quite large. But I've never seen that paper explode after someone channeled its magic."

What is the power of this gift. This is not the power of giving his name to know.

"Can I ask for another paper?"

"Yes, sure."

With his brain still trying to digest it, he handed me another paper.

"This is the paper."

As I tried to channel magic into the new paper, it instantly released flames, but it eventually exploded as well.

When I tried the new paper again, it became a rock and exploded.

When I tried the new paper again, it was cut into pieces until it was not left.

As I tried the new paper again, the paper gave off an extremely dense white aura.

As I tried the new paper again, the paper gave off a very thick black aura.

And when I tried the last element paper, the paper suddenly let out an extremely powerful lightning bolt.

"Ghargh."

My body was instantly struck by that sudden lightning strike. And while my body was still limp on the ground. The sudden thought that I would soon meet again with the Gods flashed just like that.

And that way, my eyes finally closed due to the weakness that hit my body.

➖➖➖➖➖

When I woke up, I found myself asleep in Miku's lap.

When I looked around me, I saw that my training ground was already scorched.

"Why can there suddenly be lightning striking you, Shin?"

As the lightning struck, Miku reflexively dodged. But not with me, with lightning speed, the lightning instantly hit my body.

"Are you okay Shin. I was so panicked about you."

Miku said that to hide that she had seen my amazing healing magic when I was struck by lightning.

"yeah. I'm fine."

As I looked at Miku to answer her question, I saw her expression that looked anxious.

"Now that I've improved, is there still a spell paper that I haven't tried yet?"

I told her that to calm Miku down, because she seemed to still look anxious towards me.

"Ohh. Y-yes, there's one more paper."

"All right, I'll try."

I took the paper hesitantly as I no longer wanted unnecessary explosions to happen.

But thankfully. This time the paper did not explode, but only gave off light.

"Ahl. It's too blinding." I muttered while releasing the paper from my hand.

"What was that Miku?"

"Ohh, Y-yeah. Usually the level of light that the paper emits will depend on how much special magic we can do. But as far as I've been there's never been anyone who could make that paper so bright." He explained it with awe.

Whatever, I won't be surprised anymore.

But what I didn't know was hidden by Miku herself, maybe she felt that I actually knew about it.

What he hid was the fact that the writing on the light paper was "Unlimited."

That was enough to shock him.

Currently we were at a restaurant in the port city, we were actually planning to have lunch at the restaurant.

"This is a book about magic. I can't use it, so this book isn't very useful to me. If you want, take it."

He gave me a book in which there was a list of known special magic.

The book is usually only sold by people who want to collect it, because the fact that one person only one special magic has made them understand the usefulness of the book.

As I picked up the book and read it, I saw some spells that I found useful if we were wise to use them, such as [Slip] and [Gate]

Of all the magic, only a few are useful.

After closing the book. I looked at Miku who was still looking at me with a mixed gaze between bewildered and amazed.

"You're amazing Shin. Not only can you use all the magic elements that no one in the world can do, but you also master special magic." He said to praise.

I had a bad feeling from his gaze, I was sure he would definitely ask something strange again.

"Shin, who are you?"

"Mugh."

I choked on my own food when I heard the question he asked.

After I drank the water, I looked at Miku to confirm something.

"If you don't mind, can you rephrase the question?"

"I-I was asking about who you really are, Shin?"

"Hm. Tired."

I pretended to understand her question, but actually what I thought was a way to explain it to her.

"Is there something wrong with my question?" Ask Miku nervously.

How do I tell him I'm from another world.

Wait-wait, did I by telling her about my true identity. The gods didn't tell me about it either.

"Ah. Nope-no. There's nothing wrong with your question. I'm the real one. Hmmmm. I'm actually a."

Like a drama screen, Miku brought her face closer to me while waiting for my answer.

"I'm just a wanderer."

"Hehhh."

Miku's disappointed face made me laugh a little, it would probably be a consolation for me.

"All right." Reply weakly.

I'll tell you someday

Our conversation that day ended and we both went back to the inn to get ready because tomorrow we were going to start leaving.
