Chapter 11: CH 11

"Magic bestowal?"

"Huh? You didn't notice?"

It began with a single word from Jude early one afternoon.

Apparently my hairclip was bestowed with magic.

It was something natural but I've never seen something bestowed with magic in Japan, so naturally I didn't notice.

"Can you tell what kind of effect was attached?"

"I don't know but I can tell that some kind of magic was bestowed to it. It's reacting to your magic, Sei."

"Reacting? You can tell that kind of thing?"

"Yeah, it takes some practice though."

"I see."

When I asked Jude about it in detail, he told me that you can't find out what kind of magic has been bestowed without using a magic called 『Appraisal』.

Only an extreme few could use appraisal magic. There was only one big firm in town that had people that could use it and even within the Court Mage Division, there were only a few people who could use it.

By the way, if the appraisal level was high enough, it seemed that it could also be used on people.

However if you didn't have the consent of the person you were casting it on then it would repel. It would especially repel if the person it was casted on was high level.

And now, magic bestowal.

Magic can be bestowed on things like weapons, armour, accessories, etc.

The core of things like gems are used as a premise for magic bestowal. Magic is embedded into the core and it becomes a magic bestowal tool.

Of course, it's okay to insert the magic embedded core into tools.

The effects of a magic bestowed tool manifests itself by reacting to the magic of the person using it.

There aren't many people who could use magic but the magic power itself varied greatly and it seemed that everyone has magic.

Therefore those trained in magic perception can sense if something has been bestowed with magic.

Jude practiced it when he was at the Royal Academy and even now, in order to help his family business he never skips practice.

He's so diligent.

"It sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

"What does?"

"Magic bestowal."

"Eh? Don't tell me you want to try it out?"

"Ah, you understand me well."

Jude looked subtly disgusted so I smiled sweetly at him.

What's with that face?

I couldn't bestow magic in Japan so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I want to try it.

"It's not easy to bestow an item with magic."

"Really?"

"First of all, the cores are pretty expensive."

There are a vary of cores that could be used as materials like gems and rare crystals. It seemed that even though they're small they're quite expensive.

Since magic was needed to bestow an item, there were only a limited of people who could do it.

Therefore there was a huge difference in price between the items that are bestowed and those that aren't.

Yeah, it seemed that there's a huge difference.

And this hairclip was bestowed with magic.

……。

"What's with the racket?"

The Director just happened to pass by as I was thinking about the price of the hairclip and he called out to me.

"We're talking about magic bestowal."

"Magic bestowal?"

"I heard that this hairclip was bestowed with magic, so I was a little interested in it."

"Oh."

The Director acted as if nothing happened, but he noticed this hairclip was bestowed with magic, didn't he?

Because his gaze swayed a little when I said, "Hairclip".

Neither the Director nor Liz mentioned the price to me so I wonder if this is one of the things that aren't expensive to aristocrats.

I don't know if the items at the storefront were bestowed with magic but since Jude mentioned that there was a huge difference in price, they probably weren't, were they?"

If I think about it like that then I dreaded the price of my hairclip.

How do I return his gratitude……?

While I was at my wits end thinking about it, the Director came up with an unexpected proposal.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Eh?"

"Magic bestowal. You're interested in it, aren't you?"

Jude and I were flabbergasted at the Director's proposal.

Eh? Is it that easy to do?

When I look at Jude, who was next to me, he shook his head as if he knew what I was thinking.

"I have connections. What do you want to do?"

"I'll do it."

It was a great proposal so I went with it.

I was also interested in it.

Like that, the Director took me to the Court Mage Division's building.

Mhm, we're bestowing magic, aren't we?

Ah, is it because it's magic?

Since this was the Mage Division, there are a lot of people wearing robes so the Director and I are a bit out of place.

Now that I think about it, those robes, when I was summoned the people around me were wearing them.

As I thought, the people here participated in the ceremony, didn't they?

The Court Mage Division's building was quite far from the Research Institute, so the Director and I rode a carriage here.

It was certainly further than the 3rd Knight Order barracks so walking here would be harsh.

Jude is house-sitting because of the Director's order.

He said he preferred to walk but was it fine for me?

The norm of this world was a mystery.

"Sei, over here."

"Yes."

When I stood at the entrance of the room and looked around, the Director who had entered before me, beckoned me.

The room that I was in had a workbench just like the one at the Research Institute. The Director stood in the middle of the room in front of the workbench.

Standing on the other side of the Director across the workbench was a man wearing a robe, he must be a Mage.

When I bowed and said, "I look forward to working with you", to the nervous looking Mage, he also bowed in a rush.

Huh? What are you afraid of?

"Well then, I will explain about bestowal."

The Mage, who was smiling a little stiffly, began explaining about bestowal.

Why's he so stiff?

Well, it's not like I can do anything about it even if I worry about it.

On top of the workbench on the side was a divider box.

There were a variety of small gems and crystals divided in the box.

In order to bestow magic, you have to hold the small core in your hands, think about the effect you want to bestow and expose it to your magic.

The magic bestowed differed depending on the magic attribute of the person bestowing it. For example someone with fire attribute magic would bestow fire magic; someone with magic attribute magic would bestow water magic.

For effects that raised offensive and defensive power, commonly referred to as support type, it was necessary to use holy attribute magic.

There also seemed to be compatible materials for the kinds of magic bestowed. The Mage told me, "If you want to bestow support magic then I recommend these gems here".

"What kind of effects will you bestow?"

"Let's see……"

What should I do?

Support magic, support magic……

"Is it possible to bestow magic nullification?"

"Magic nullification……?"

I thought about it and suddenly remembered about the Salamander that appeared in the West Forest.

It looked like a lizard that blew out fire. I thought it wouldn't be possible to make something that would defend against that fire.

After thinking for a while, the Mage said, "It might not be possible to nullify magic but I think it is possible to reduce the effects'.

I see.

Then let's think of a way to reduce the magic attribute.

"Then I'll do that."

"Then you probably want the gems around here."

I received the core from the Mage and covered it with both my hands.

Even if I said I covered it, the core itself was only about 3mm in diameter, so when I put my hands together you can't see it at all.

I imaged the effect that I wanted to bestow and exposed it to my magic.

Instead of just reducing fire magic, I might as well reduce all magic.

If I do that, should I raise magic resistant?

Yup, I think I can do it,

I imaged the effect and exposed the core to my magic.

*CRACK*
