Indeed, anyone who suddenly tells you that in the scientific world that you have lived in for more than ten years, there is actually such an unreal thing as magic, you will not believe it.
It's good that Megumi just thought of Ryuji as a chuunibyou instead of calling an ambulance directly.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it easily, so I was prepared."
Saying that, Ryuji raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger, the water vapor in the air gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye forming a small ball of water!
Even Megumi was stunned by this sight.
She opened her mouth in shock, and stretched out her hand to approach the water polo, but she hesitated in the unknown and stopped midair.
"Is this… magic?"
"That's right, Megumi can see the essence of this thing at a glance!" Ryuji was slightly amused.
Of course he knew that Megumi was taking this as a trick by ordinary magicians. But this is really magic, mobilizing the magic circuit, gathering moisture in the air, forming small water balls.
"Mage in the inner world and the outside world are two different concepts." Ryuji explained patiently.
The rules of the Magus are not to reveal the news of the world to ordinary people, because those stubborn seniors think that one more person who knows something like a mystery will lose a part of the mystery, and the amount of magic in the world will also be lost.
But Ryuji had never followed the rules of the Mage Association, let alone now.
He had some dirty dealings with the Counter Forces, so he could be said to be the spokesperson for the Counter Forces in the world. As long as he didn't do anything to humanity, he basically had the final say in this world.
"If you don't believe me, Megumi can touch it." Ryuji felt that he was like sorghum bewitching a young girl at this time, and his words were a bit mean.
"...Hmm." After a bit of hesitation, Megumi dug her finger into the water polo.
The flowing ice touches all conveyed the concept of 'water' to her.
This is real!
Megumi's face which was always calm finally changed a bit.
"That's true… Megumi has to admit.
Compared to other people's expressions, Megumi's reaction could be described as very flat, Ryuji was surprised by the girl's ability to accept.
"Hmm... I'm a bit surprised, after all magic suddenly appeared in my life."
"Your reaction can only be described as slightly surprised."
When he was taken to Chaldea, he was informed of the existence of Magecraft, but it took him a lot of effort to accept it.
"Is magic a common thing? In fact, many people around are mage?" asked Megumi.
"To be precise, we should be called Magus. We use Magecraft, not magic." Ryuji made quite a bit of knowledge about the Magus title.
"Regarding your question, even though there are a few Magus, they are still not at the level of the bad roads. I think as far as Chiba City is concerned, there probably isn't any other Magus besides me."
"I understand." Megumi slightly nodded in understanding.
She then asked: "So Ryuji-kun is actually a super power, why couldn't I see it at all when I was little?"
After all, in film and television works, people with superpowers would display strange abilities from the time they were young, and were treated as an alternative.
But in Megumi's impression, Ryuji could only be described as an ordinary person when he was young, and had nothing to do with superpowers.
"Actually, I became a Magus a year ago, and then I took care of things, like saving the world."
"Even though I believe that Ryuji-kun has super powers, saving the world a bit..."
These are two very different things, and cannot be compared at all.
Ryuji shrugged helplessly. Common sense that no one believes the truth these days.
"Didn't Ryuji-kun want to tell me the identity of Jeanne-san and the others? Could they be Magus too?"
Ryuji shook his head and said, "No."
"Doesn't Megumi find it strange why Jeanne and the others are using the names of famous people in history?
Jeann D'Arc, Nero, Marie, etc., were all great figures in history, leaving deep marks in the long history of mankind.
"Could it be… These are their real names?!"
Megumi thought of a certain possibility and felt a bit horrified.
"Who are they in history? They lived to this day through magic?"
This idea is too scary. Leaving Jeanne and Marie aside, if the tyrant Nero had really lived until now, she would have experienced nearly 2000 years, and it was as if she was immortal!
"No, why is the tyrant a girl!" Megumi's voice was unusually up and down, and she asked the most worrisome question.
"I'm also curious about this." Ryuji hid his face.
In fact, not only this tyrant, the legendary King Arthur is also a maiden, but also the genius swordsman Okita Souji from Edogawa, the rebellious knight Mordred, and Astolfo, one of the twelve warriors of Charlemagne.
Wait, that last one doesn't seem right!
