A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Creating Magic I turned back.

As expected, it was Sephone. She looked even more youthful and beautiful in the uniform of the academy.

“Sephone, how are you?”

“Pretty good. I saw that you accepted Carle’s challenge just now, so I came to remind you not to underestimate him. He should be considered a true descendant of a military family.”

“Understood. Thank you, Sephone.”

“You’re welcome. We’re friends after all.”

Sephone laughed and clasped her hands behind her back.

Only then did I notice that she did not collect any assessment questions.

“Sephone, don’t you have to take the academy’s assessment?”

“Hehe, how should I put it? I’m considered to have taken the initiative to come to Olgus Academy. I should be considered a specially admitted student, so I don’t have to take such an examination.”

Sephone said with a smile.

“I see.”

I immediately understood. From the magic and tone she had used that day, she was probably be like my sister, Jennifer, a genius Mage with many types of magic.

“Mm mm, alright. I’m just came to give you a reminder. I’m leaving first. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

After watching Sephone leave, I held the magic books and walked out of the arena to wait. After all the new students who were taking the assessment arrived, the teacher would lead us to our individual dormitories.

“Hey! You don’t really know Sephone, do you? That’s impossible. If you do, how come I’ve never seen you before?”

Carle, who had been waiting outside, came over and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

It was obvious that he saw Sephone talking to me just now.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Are you so sure that you know everyone Sephone knows?”

I stared back at him.

“You’re right. After all, there’s still a gap between my family and hers…”

Carle also hesitated. He stretched out a finger to scratch his cheek and carefully recalled. The corners of my mouth curled up slightly. This feeling of teasing another was not bad.

This guy really looked like a standard profligate son, and he was not good at using his brain.

“Forget it! So what if you really know Sephone? It’s impossible for her to help you in the arena. Since we both have light-attribute magic, don’t even think about escaping on the day of the test!”

Carle looked at the teacher who was slowly walking over. He returned to the group and glared at me.

“Don’t worry, I won’t run away.”

I gave a little wave.

“You all should be freshmen with light-attribute magic this year. Please follow me. After entering your dormitory, don’t run around and visit one another’s rooms. During the assessment period, your three meals will be delivered to you every day. Do you understand?”

The teacher walked in front and explained the rules in the dormitory.

“Understood!”

Soon, we arrived at a building and were assigned to single rooms according to the order.

The room was not small. There was a master bedroom and a separate bathroom.

Other than the bed and desk, half of the room was empty space that was enough to practice the simple magic on the books.

I put down my luggage and opened a book on the desk. In three short pages,every step of activating Divine Light magic was recorded in detail. They even included answers to any questions that one might have.

As a basic amplification spell, the effect of the Divine Light was to prevent the user from being corroded by the power of darkness. At the same time, it would reduce the consumption of physical strength by a small amount.

“Eternal and endless light, please grant me strength!”

I whispered the incantation to activate the spell.

At this moment, I could clearly feel that something seemed to have begun to emerge from within my body. It gradually spread to various parts of my body and finally overflowed, forming a white membrane of light on the surface of my body.

Looking at my faintly fluorescent arm, it was the first time I experienced the wonders of magic.

I successfully activated my magic with my first instance of chanting. I couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. After chanting a few times, I gradually lost interest.

Judging from the fact that Mother had created a large water bubble with her bare hands, there was also a way to achieve magic without an incantation.

Moreover, with my identity as an assassin, it was too strange for me to chant magic during a mission.

I reopened the book and began to rummage through the questions at the back, hoping to find some experience in casting magic without chanting

Unfortunately, this question was not raised.

It seemed that everyone had tacitly agreed that magic needed to be chanted, and casting magic without incantation was the special right of the geniuses.

If it was a privilege unique to geniuses–

I don’t think I’ve ever asked Jennifer if she could cast magic without chanting. I even forgot to ask the genius, Sephone, who was talking to me just now…

This was a huge mistake.

I had no choice but to flip open the book of Julius’s Magic Notes I had brought with me. It was probably the only thing that might help me.

Magic is infinite. It should not be inherited, but created…

Something stirred inside me as I read those words again.

That’s right.

If a person already possesses magic, the magic incantation would merely be a catalyst to guide and use the magic in the body.

The first Holy Archmage, Rosiel, had merely discovered the most convenient incantation to guide her own magic. Since that was the case, would the way everyone guided their magic be different?

The Mage who left behind this notebook, Julius, first tried to change Rosiel’s incantation, but she failed. Later, she tried to create a new incantation, but also failed.

Could it be that she had been working in the wrong direction from the beginning? Magic could not only be guided by spell incantations, but also with other ways. The best proof was that magic could be activated without chanting.

At this thought, I couldn’t help but close my eyes. I recalled the earlier feeling of magic surging and unconsciously clenched my fists.

I used his faith to tell my body and let my magic show on my fists.

After a long time.

I opened my eyes and raised my own fist.

The faint white light wrapped around my fist seemed to prove that my method was feasible.

Indeed.

There was no need to chant. You just had to push your beliefs to the limit. Magic would also appear where you wanted it to appear.

There might be different ways to mobilize magic, but the ultimate goal was to make the magic in your body obey your consciousness.

“Lightsaber!”

In my hand, a small dagger formed by magic was outlined.

“Dark Attribute Pistol!”

I reached forward and imagined the most commonly used weapon in my previous life, mobilizing the dark attribute magic in my body.

A black shadow that looked like a pistol from my previous life appeared in my hand.

“Fire!”

“Biu”

A black ball of light shot out from the pistol in my hand. After leaving a shallow mark on the wall of the room, it exploded and disappeared.

Perhaps it was because the dark attribute magic in my body wasn’t enough? The magic pistol didn’t have the might I imagined.

“Light and Darkness, fuse, create firearms, fire!”

I raised my arm and aimed at the spot where I had left the mark.

Thud!

A small piece of the wall fell off, and a hole appeared on the white wall. It was much more powerful than before.

By fusing light and dark magic, I could create magic artifacts invisible to the naked eye.

I was sure of it this time.

Julius was right. Magic could really be created.
