Chapter 8: 8 07. The Good, the Soul Relief

It has already been a year since I got my first Philosopher's Stone.

With the philosopher's stone from which all knowledge can be drawn, I no longer need most tutors at the age of seven. I'm graduating, so to speak.

To this day, I had spent the morning training with Angel in the garden of the mansion with the knowledge I had drawn from the Philosopher's Stone.

In front of me, there are seven balls floating in the air.

Each one is a different color. Red, blue, green, yellow ...... and similar shades to the rainbow.

They're magic spheres that have a huge amount of magic inside them.

Touch them floating in the air, put your hand and turn them with a snap of your wrist with your magic power.

The magic spheres will float in the air and rotate at high speed.

As the rotation comes to a halt, the magic ball can no longer keep a perfect circle and becomes distorted.

By adding more magic power to it and turning it, it is kept spherical.

This is a magic training method called "ceramics".

The person's strongest attribute is released into the air, and the magic is turned to shape the sphere.

The method allows you to train to release magic and control it at the same time.

Next to me, Angier is spinning the white magic sphere as well.

His rotation is not as good as mine, and it's still a bit awkward, but he's doing quite well for a seven-year-old.

I'm controlling seven of them at once.

Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Nothingness.

Keep the magic spheres round for each of the seven attributes.

It's a gap!

Suddenly, with the spiritedness and call of the hakuhachi, something startled me.

You can hear the sound of wind slashing as well, it's apparently an attack with a two-handed sword, a kind of Zweihander.

You have to reach out and guide the spinning red magic sphere with further rotation.

The red magic sphere and the flame-attributed ball are placed on the track of the slash.

I heard a sizzling sound and my two swords melted into the magic sphere like butter.

The attack never happened again, and I looked at him a little dumbfounded.

"What are you doing all of a sudden, father?

"Hahahahaha, that's my Alec.

Father tosses down the large sword, which is only a third of its original size, and laughs loudly with his hands on his hips.

The way a triumphant person laughs, it's too lazy to do it in this situation.

"Good morning, father-in-law.

It's a pretty common sight in our house, as evidenced by the fact that Angel is with us and is not at all upset.

"Mm, good morning. You're doing well.

Father looked at the white magic ball that Angel was spinning and nodded with satisfaction.

"You're turning it much better than I was when I was seven years old.

"Thanks to what Alec taught me,

"Well, hmm, you're right, Alec. They say that geniuses are notoriously bad at teaching, and that doesn't seem to be the case with Alec at all.

"But don't go charging at me, father. The servants are watching and so are your father's guests. It would be a badge of honor for your father to be seen doing this.

"I see!

Dad looked away and huffed.

Thank goodness he understands!

"Inviting the Emperor to do this inadvertently will naturally show off Alec's genius!　I didn't know it was possible!

No, father, I'm saying no.

That almost made me sigh a little.

If left unchecked, my father could really make it happen.

He's a good lord to his people, but when it comes to the 'Alec Appeal' thing, he's a different person.

Good, it's just the time for the emperor to go on vacation. Good, it is just the time of year for the emperor to enjoy his summer vacation and I must appeal to him to come to our Carlisle estate!

Father said this and ran into the mansion with even more vigor than when he was ambushed.

....... ...

Let's see.

Your Majesty, this really could be coming.

.

The City of Molek.

I was out on the town with Ange, as usual.

I enjoyed seeing the many faces of the curious Angier, so I walked around with him almost every day.

Ah, ......

"What's up Angel?

"This ...... Mr. Alec

With a frightened look on his face, Angier pointed to a wanted poster pinned to the outside wall of the building.

He pointed to the "serial killer ......" that was pinned to the wall outside the building. I see.

You killed ten people. I'm afraid, Master Alec.

Yes.

I've seen the handbill.

It's got a description, too, of a pretty thug.

This is ...... not to be overlooked.

"Mr. Alec?　What do you mean, it can't be overlooked?

"I mean every word. I've got to do something fast. Otherwise, it's going to be very sad.

I've got a description of a man, a thug who killed ten people.

It's just a matter of time before he's caught, though.

I strongly felt that I should butt in before that.

.

At night, I was walking through the streets of Molech by myself.

The goal, of course, was to use myself as a decoy to lure out a serial killer.

I talked to the city's security forces, and it seems that they are working on the women and children, like a street witch.

Then I'm the best person for this, so here I am, walking the streets alone at night.

What?

I was walking carefully, but as soon as I passed one of the men, who passed me without thinking, went behind me and put his hands around my neck and tried to pull me into the darkness.

I felt a sharp, cold sensation on my neck. Definitely a blade.

To avoid collateral damage and getting people involved, the man dragged me unreservedly into the alleyway.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!

The man stopped and began to laugh.

I glanced over my shoulder, the same face I saw on the handbill.

"Hey, why do you do this?

"Meat, ...... meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat--

The man's bloodshot eyes pushed the knife further into my neck.

I can't get through to him.

Then there's only one thing I can do for him.

"Meat meat--what?

The man peeled his eyes away and was taken aback.

I quickly slipped out of the arm around his neck, took a few steps, and turned to face the man.

The man stared at the blade he was holding with a look of disbelief.

The blade is now just the handle, and the blade is melted almost like butter, and is now sloshing on the ground.

That's as far as it goes. Any more and you'll have to wait until you're human again (、、、、、、、、、).

"--whooooh!

The man slashed at me, wielding a small piece of the blade that was left over.

I shook off my hand carelessly.

A red magic sphere -- the magic sphere that I created just before and which melted the man's weapon -- flies with the swing and trajectory of my hand.

It grew explosively larger on the way, engulfing the man's entire body and melting him in an instant.

The man who was mauled without a trace, not a bone remains.

He probably didn't have time to feel any pain from what had been done to him, and he died.

I saw a chunk of metal that was the man's blade, left on the ground.

I remembered the misdeeds of the bad guys and the reincarnation I had witnessed when I was standing in line before my reincarnation.

If you kill ten people, you only need to kill the animal once.

The man wished that the next time he was born a decent human being.
