The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 60 - Arcana's

At night, Lucius walked home as usual. His friends continued to worry about him over this duel.

But Lucius continued to convince them that nothing would happen to the fight. And Alex himself....

Even though all the other classmates had gone home, he continued to walk with Lucius until he arrived at his house.

"I will finish one sword before day h. And also, can I use that duel as a demonstration of your abilities?" ask Alex.

"Demonstration?" lucius asked in confusion.

"Well, I have stated to many other noble families that my family is in a cooperative relationship with your family. So later there will be many nobles present in your fight. How's it?" ask Alex.

Lucius looked silent for a while. Thinking about everything Alex said just now.

"Just calm. If your fight is a success, your family will also benefit greatly." continued Alex while continuing to accompany Lucius' footsteps.

"How can you?"

"Lucius. In the life of nobles, there are three most important things. Power, money, and power. If you had any of those three things, your surname would instantly fly into the sky.

It will make many noble families respect your family. Even trying to get close to you. I'm sure, you also want the dignity of your family to rise right?" ask Alex after a lengthy explanation.

"Alex, you know? All this time, I was just an ordinary person. So I don't really understand things like that. Can I trust you with everything?" lucius asked with a friendly smile.

During his arrival in this city, Lucius only spent his time studying.

After meeting Carmilla, Lucius spent his time training.

Noble ethics? Noble habit? Such things were not at all in the interest of Lucius during his life.

Because that's it....

"Just calm down, Lucius. I'll prove to you that I can be the perfect right hand for you." Alex replied with a big smile. He also slapped his right hand on his chest.

"Right hand? Since when...."

"Rather than discussing that, how could you be that strong? Is it true because of hidden talent?"

"Aah, about that? Well, maybe talent? Or because of my hard work?" ask Lucius to Alex.

"Huh? Why did you even ask?"

While continuing to joke around and discuss things, the two became closer and closer. Increase their trust in each other little by little.

............

"Huh, Alex really.... Say, Carmilla. What do you think if I share the secret of Mana Flow with him?" asked Lucius who stood in front of the mirror while taking off his clothes one by one.

Quickly, Carmilla seized control of Lucius' body and crossed both hands.

"Can't! If it falls into the wrong hands, this world will be destroyed once again!" carmilla shouted using Lucius' body, before returning it a moment later.

"Is that so? Well then, what if it's a lower version?" lucius asked briefly. Both of his hands were busy changing his clothes. Now wearing shorts and plain black shirts.

'If that doesn't matter. I'll design the magic formation and....'

Before Carmilla could finish her words, Lucius had sat down at her desk. Drawing a magic formation for the weaker version of Mana Flow with his pen.

'Hmm? Lucius, you....'

"Can this be?" lucius asked as he put his pen back in its place.

On the paper, there was a series of magic formations that were quite different from Mana Flow. But the effect was much stronger compared to similar magic formations belonging to any noble.

"W-how did you make this?" ask Carmilla who immediately seized Lucius' body. He flipped through the paper to confirm the series of magic formations.

Although much lower than the Carmilla made by 80%, but it is far above human standards in this period.

"Can you?" ask Lucius.

'Well, if this of course can.' Carmilla replied briefly.

Lucius immediately folded the paper and kept it in the corner of his desk. Before continuing the work that has been started since a while ago.

He took out a rectangular iron plate, the size of his palm.

On the iron plate was engraved many series of small-sized magic formations, carvings that seemed to be embedded in it.

'Lucius, I've been wanting to ask you a question for a long time, but what exactly are you doing?' ask Carmilla curiously.

Lucius immediately lifted the iron plate and brought it closer to his left eye. Using Clairvoyance Eye.

'I-this?!'

Before Lucius' eyes, it could be seen that the Mana flow was arranged so neatly. Everything walked through the groove of the magic formation engraved on that iron plate.

While the source of all the Mana itself lies in the lower right corner of the slab. A circle-shaped magic formation that had the size of Lucius' thumb.

"My Original Magic, I call it an Arcana. In other words, this is a magic card." explains Lucius.

Carmilla could only fall silent in astonishment.

Never in his entire life had he seen such a complex set of magic formations, but they were so small.

The magic array contained on Lucius' Arcana card was about the size of a top-tier magic even more. Even so, he managed to arrange it in this small size.

"Thanks to these eyes, I can do much better." Lucius replied before putting the card back on the wooden board, then clamping it with the help of an iron clamp beside him.

Using a small iron needle, Lucius again carved a series of magic formations on the card with the help of fire magic.

He focused and condensed his fire magic so small that it resembled a thin bluish laser.

Although not very useful in real combat because of its small attack power, but this magic is useful for various handicraft processes.

'How interesting.... This is really very interesting, Lucius. As someone loves magic so much, this is so exciting!' reply Carmilla with happiness.

'But, what will this magic card do?' Carmilla. He had never seen any magic mounted on an iron plate like this before.

Lucius who was still working gave a fairly detailed reply to his teacher.

"In short, this Arcana will store complex magic in it. The magic that was supposed to require high concentration to make its magic formation, as well as a long time to activate it, became instant."

'Instant? High-level magic like that? Isn't that too strong?' ask Carmilla curiously.

"You're right. This magic is too powerful. But you know why there are so few people using it?" ask Lucius.

'Why?'

"Because making Arcana itself is very difficult, if not have eyes this may take months. And after all that, Arcana will be destroyed"

Arcana's biggest weakness, none other than because it is a disposable item. No matter how strong an Arcana is, it will not be able to cover up that weakness.

Sure oes.

That is if they are talented people from birth. Unlike Lucius who had no talent at all.

'So, what kind of magic is embedded in it?' ask Carmilla.

"Well, about that...."
