There were different kinds of magic and different races used their unique techniques to make their special types of magic.
Like humans had a greater will and natural talents for anything there was but, their greatest weapons were the 'wills' they honed through their time of survival in this world.
Humans had the strongest hunger for survival, so they pushed through the truly strong, special, and blessed beings and became one of the dominant races of the world.
They learned the magic of other races, then made their own magic based on the things they learned, and in many aspects, they even surpassed the ones they took inspiration from.
But, sometimes, the original stood strong as something that can't be replicated, learned, or surpassed.
In that, some magic of elven and dwarven races was one of their kind and unique to their races.
One would require a great understanding of that particular magic and a powerful build similar to their race just to cast those spells.
But... the things would be different when one can actually [Understand] those things outside of human comprehension.
Then, they would be able to cast the magic unique to those races with a human mind and physique.
And I had that ability to understand those weird things and their magic so I can actually use those magic of different races... or more precisely, (Script) that magic into my mind.
But even if I could do that, I can't help but admire the uniqueness of the different races.
Just the thought of how they can cast the spells that take me weeks to prepare in mere moments.
Well, I can do that and I knew Alf will be able to do so in the future too, but now, as they all saw me cast this dwarven spell, the place was filled with their rare gasps.
The mage grandma, Rein, dad, Alf, his dad, and even her dad, who can see this special spell, was speechless as they looked at this brown barrier and (tier-3) dwarven spell (Kafe' fra'gma).
Their mouth was left open because every one of them recognized the special structure of this spell and I was the one to cast this.
"Everyone knows this spell. So, well, the test is too easy, right? Just break the barrier and the book is yours~."
I knew he heard me despite his shock and bewilderment-filled eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe just stared blankly at the barrier like this was something unreal and I just walked out of the barrier while he was staring at it and stood beside grandpa Zhen.
I knew he could see the barrier too, despite just having a (tier-3) Mana nucleus like us.
That was his natural limitation but, he was no mage in the first place.
He was the highest-grade assassin and almost a [Advanced-Origin] master.
Maybe more because I had not seen his status window yet but, he was amazing to have one of the highest mental fortitudes that almost rivaled mine.
Well, it wasn't like I can't see it, but Lucy was nagging like this, and I had no choice but to listen to her grumbling.
Well, he was surprised to see this one too, but he was far better than the mages on the upper stands.
He was the referee last time, but I just gave a simple test this time.
Now, I had nothing to do there.
He will have fun on his own while understanding and breaking that spell and it would be fun to see him do that.
"That is amazing, master Axion. Seeing that look on lady Arina, it's quite amusing.
But, I can understand her very well.
Hohoho... a human casting a dwarven spell? Now that is an amazing feat in itself."
His voice was sincere, and he respected me for some reason. As much as he respected Rein.
He called Anna, Carla, and Alf young master or young lady but, not Rein or me.
He called her lady and me master and showed higher respect for some unknown reason.
Well, it was his way of showing respect, and I didn't mind that one at all.
I liked this grandpa. He was a good person.
I smiled at him and took out Mana and concentration recovery potions and gulped them down one by one.
And after recovering, I took out two glasses of fresh milkshakes of recovery properties and offered grandpa one of them.
There was a warm smile on my face while I held it before him and he couldn't do anything but helplessly accept the glass.
We were also just spectators now. Nothing to even worry about in this simple test.
We watched the boy who had just calmed down and was looking at the barrier and the flawlessness of that spell... it was nothing short of my other spells.
Not even some dwarves could make it this much perfect.
Well, this one spell consumed a lot of concentration, if not Mana.
Learning this wasn't easy either but, thankfully, after learning [(< Rune spells >)] to some extent, other kinds of magic would naturally look easy.
And I had spent many tireless nights just learning these things with a smile on my face.
Well... I loved magic. It was fascinating~.
And I loved archery, it was the most fun thing in the world.
Carla and Alf were the same in those things too, just that they would need some more time to explore new things and fall into a deeper love with them.
They were awesome and had a far better life for themselves.
I had this fatal flaw of fate and they were better off without a shitty life like mine.
Well... this spell fascinated him, and the smile on his face was enough for his worried mom to calm herself down and smile at him.
She was a good person and aside from her unique skill similar to Alf's, she was just like any normal person.
Well, she was an awesome person, and I was looking forward to the tea party I promised Anna on our first day of talking with this family.
Well, mom, aunt, and uncle were now just watching what Alf was doing with a calm expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were relieved that this one wasn't like the last fight but, they can't see what Alf was doing inside the barrier.
The ladies were now playing, chatting among themselves, and Anna was laughing with Zoe and Rein.
The old group was also just watching the ground and although they can't see the magic and the stuff going on with Alf, they could very well understand what was happening.
And, well, I knew they would try it but the others were trying to interpret the barrier from the outside.
Well, this one was definitely another exciting game for them, but there was now a competition going on between them.
They were competing for the position of who was going to take the book after Alf.
This game of theirs… I already knew what the results would be.
This atmosphere was calm now, and fun.
He was thinking hard and I can understand the thoughts he might be having while looking at this barrier, but I knew he will definitely be successful.
The barrier was actually quite a strong one, but it can at most block only a (tier-5) normal spell.
It would take more than four (tier-4) high destructive power spells to destroy this spell.
But for him... he will have to first understand the barrier structure and use his skill to dismantle the whole spell.
Well, this would be like casting the spell backward, doing all the process that took the casting of this spell to be reverse done.
This kind of spell took me a week at the very least to process.
Alf's dad might do it in three days, Rein and dad might actually finish this in a day, and her grandma in half a day.
But Alf... I believed the supercomputer-like mind, his parallel calculation skill, his unique skill of mind, and all his 'will' to obtain this one book combined, can break the barrier in an hour.
And I will have to be ready with at least two of my highest grade potions for Mana and concentration recovery.
Well, he will be ok, so I don't have to worry about him.
I knew one thing for sure… he will have fun there.
