[scene :Colt in his room, practicing shooting fire balls in the air, then extinguishing them with water bullet]
Here is what I've learned so far.
I've classified magic into two categories: scientific and pure magic.
Scientific magic is like
[Flash back to Colt floating above the domain lord's mansion's walls]
float,
[Flash back to Colt practicing invisibility in school]
invisibility,
[Flash back to Colt making glucose for the first time]
atomic manipulation,
[Back to Colt's room in the present]
or any elemental attack.
[Flash back to Colt using search to find the kids at school]
Pure magic is like search
[Colt looking at Ken, the view darkens a bit to show that Ken has a big aura]
and magic sight.
[Back to the present, Colt shoots the last fireball and sits on the bed, thinking]
Apparently, everyone in this world only learns very basic magic, or what is necessary for their work.
Because if you use pure magic to do scientific magic, it takes a lot longer to upgrade to silent casting.
Since I'm the only one with scientific notions here, I skipped incantations altogether.
Not to mention I am the only one I know of who can use invisibility or float.
Not that this is enough of a reason to get comfortable, not yet.
[Colt gets up, starts doing push-ups]
One other thing to know is that pure magic upgrades from silent to easy silent much faster.
I mean, to upgrade search and magic sight, it only took 50 casts.
But if that is the case, then… Could it be possible it exists?? The spell that no fantasy can do without ?
[Excited internal smile]
[In the void, flickers of yellow flame appear]
Item box!!!
[Back to Colt]
If so, then what better way to learn it than to train under a merchant? I mean, I probably can learn it on my own since I used to be a fan.
[Colt shifts to sit-ups]
But this will give me a reason to use it anywhere and anytime. Besides, I'd like to get a sense of this world's financial knowledge and dealings.
Not to mention I have a few get-rich-quick schemes I'd like to investigate.
[Colt's eyes light with determination and a smile draws itself on his face]
The next step is decided!!!
