Chereads / The greatest man who ever lived / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

The monsters in the forests are stronger than the ones in plains because in forests there is higher mana concentration.

And with this, the last book that was in this orphanage is over, well there were just several of them, but with this, I have the most basic knowledge about this world.

Now I know more things about magic. First, there is much non-elemental magic other than space and gravity, like... summoning, taming, transmuting, alchemy, enchanting and maybe there are even more, I don't know. Also, I said that people can master all of the elemental magic, but that's wrong, just like 'highest compatibility' there is also the 'lowest compatibility', in this case, it will be extremely hard to learn it and if you are unlucky you can't learn it at all. my compatibility with any elemental magic is really low and in case of holy, it's zero, which means I'll never be able to use it. incidentally, the ones who have good compatibility with the holy element are also pretty damn good in other elements.

Now, there is a question. Is there anything that people with black hair excel in? I was told that they are good at non-elemental magic, except gravity and summoning, they are considered to be rare, and about space... well, it can't really be used by itself, if you want to apply it on items you need to be enchanter, so I guess it works for me, by the way, there are stories that people could use space magic for teleportation, but nobody can do it now, reason? I don't know.

Well, putting aside the lost magic, I came up with my theory, there is an event called awakening, but it's nothing that special when a person learns their first spell that means that they awoke, I personally think that it's a stupid name. So, about that awakening thing, on this occasion, people are learning a spell from an element in which they have the highest compatibility. I think that black haired people have talent in dark magic, but because there's no one to teach them, they can't use their potential at slightest, without environment even talent will become useless. well, it's just my theory though, it could be wrong.

"―Hey!"

There are so many things that I don't know! I can't wait to learn about them!

"Hey! are you listening!"

"What! Who!―oh, it's you, don't scare me like that."

For a moment I was confused because of sudden loud voice, but once I looked around I saw Rebecca standing in front of me while pouting.

"It's your fault! you've been staring at that closed book for a while and when I tried to talk, you didn't respond! even though, you can't read you're always holding books! you are the one who scares me!"

Oops... looks like I was lost in thoughts.

"I'm sorry, so what happened?"

"you really did not listen at all, to what Elena-san said, huh. Okay, I will tell you some great news!"

She looks quite happy, is that 'news' really that great.

"you could never guess it on your own, be glad that I'm telling you."

"Okay..."

"you want to know? you really want to know right?"

"yes!"

Goddamnit, just spit it out already!

"Tomorrow Minaris is going to visit us! aren't you happy?"

"...That's great! I'm really happy!"

That was an act, I'm not that happy about her coming to visit us, to tell the truth, I don't really care about it, and it's not like I got attached to her, the only reason I liked her was that she could use magic.

"Now, that you know everything, do you want to play something?

I knew it, damn it!

"...No"

"Eh, but why? others are also going to play you know?"

"Then play with other, you're going to give me some evil role anyways."

"But those roles really suit you."

"Hee~, how so?

"With your black hair and eyes, you look like you have the power of darkness or something..."

Well, I kind of get the point.

"And also your hair is really long and you look somehow gloomy and I think that it fits evil role..."

To say that I'm gloomy like that, how rude! just because I have long hair doesn't mean I'm gloomy!

By the way, my hair is longer then other boys and if you ask how long it is, well if I pull them down from my forehead then they'll reach my chin and they didn't grow naturally, it is the result of me finding something out.

As you know past three weeks I've been training hard and because of my skill 'fast health recovery' my muscles grows fast, but after finishing training I'm exhausted and because of this I used body strengthening to move, after several days I noticed that while I'm using strengthening the pain from muscles become lesser, after thinking a bit I understood that besides increasing physical strength and durability, body strengthening also boosts body's natural healing factor, I was quite happy with this discovery, with this I can gain muscles faster, in previous life I worked really hard for this.

And just several days ago I got an idea, well it was at the level of 'what if', so I tried to concentrate mana on my head and my hair started to grow , it wasn't so fast that it would grow to this length so quickly, growth speed was actually pretty slow, but it looked fun, I thought I was watching time-lapse video, so I got carried away and here's the result.

"So, you wanna play?"

"Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass."

"Ok, if you don't want to..."

After saying that she turned around and walked to others.

Now that I finished this book... what do I do now? let's just return this thing to its place.

I walked towards the nearest bookshelf and

'It's huge...'

How did I even got this book from there? oh yeah, I didn't get it myself, I asked for it, who in the right mind would give the book to a two-year-old child, I wouldn't. ha~ whatever, I'll just place it back.

I stretched my body with all I could

'Just a little bit more...and yes!'

I successfully placed it back!

For now, I sat on the floor and leaned to the wall.

. . .

5 minutes passed

. . .

10 minutes passed

. . .

20 minutes passe―

Ok! this is seriously boring! I mean there's nothing to do! Before, I was busy learning to read and then actually reading, but now that I finished both of it, there's nothing to do! and I already finished my training... ah~ I want to read manga!

As I was in crisis, I accidentally glanced to the kids

'They're playing house...'

That's strange, usually, they would play something more fantasy, I hate it though.

I stood up and walked towards them

"...hey"

I called Rebecca out

"yes..."

"let me play too"

For a moment she looked surprised, but then

"...okay!"

She said with a bright smile.

looks like, I'll have to adapt to this place, for the time being.
