Chapter 2 – Expulsion
“Noah, get out of this mansion after adulthood.”
I was called to my father’s study and suddenly said that.
It seems that adults have to leave this mansion.
The age of adulthood is 15 years.
In three days I will have my 15th birthday.
“Yes, I understand”
“You are the eldest son of the Aldeheim family, but I will not do it for the next head of the family, because he has no magical talent.”
“I know”
“Don’t hate me, I’d rather thank you for raising you to that age without magical talent.”
“Yes, of course. I am grateful to my father.”
“… Hmm. That’s fine. If you understand, go quickly.”
“So you’ll excuse me”
It’s been 3 days since I’ve been in this mansion …
When I thought so, I was a little deeply moved.
On the way to the library as usual, I met a servant cleaning the corridor.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
I greeted the servant with a smile.
“…”
The servant cleans silently without changing his expression.
I’m used to it because it’s been ignored even if I talk to it for a long time.
Still, I never forget to thank my servants.
why? When asked, I wanted to do that.
I think that my behavior toward others is what I wanted to do when I was a child.
You can talk to me, be kind to me, help me …
As such a person, I was looking for something that was natural.
And because I wasn’t satisfied, I want to do it for someone.
Well … it’s completely self-satisfying.
◇
When I arrive at the library, I sit in a chair and read a book.
No education was given to the Aldeheim family, so I learned the necessary knowledge from books.
About 10 years have passed since I started going to the hidden library, and I have read all the “Ancient Grimoire” that had already been collected.
Thanks to that, I learned a lot of ancient magic instead of modern magic.
It seems that modern magic cannot be used without magical talent.
The thing that only the chosen one can use is the recognition that it is modern magic.
Creatures always have magical power, but if you don’t have talent, you can’t use magic. So I think it’s great to have a magical talent.
I can’t imitate even if I stand upside down.
However, even I could use ancient magic.
Ancient magic can be obtained simply by reading the spellbook.
It’s a unique language described in the spellbook ──Ancient charactersBecause it works.
Ancient charactersThe ancient magic is activated by the correct combination of.
Depending on the combination, the type and content of magic will also change.
In other words, understanding ancient magic meansAncient charactersIs an understanding of.
…… And the important thingAncient charactersWhat is it? I mean,Ancient charactersIs a character that has an overwhelming amount of information than other languages with magical power.
This was insanely difficult, and when I was five, it took me a month to decipher it.
Now, let’s get back to the main subject.
Ancient charactersThere are two ways to combine.
Whether to combine inside the body or outside the body.
And the name changes a little, such as ancient magic for the former and ancient magic for the latter.
Is it a little confusing?
Then I will give you a concrete example.
When I found the hidden library, the magic stone would shine automatically, right?
That is because ancient magic was activated.
The ancient characters were combined so that the magic stone would react when certain conditions were met.
It seems that ancient magic that combines ancient characters outside the body is used in this way.
So how do you use ancient magic?
Even if you say that you combine ancient letters in your body, this is a sensation.
The easiest way is to cast ancient characters and the ancient magic will be activated.
The difficult way is to activate it without chanting.
In that case, you have to manipulate the magical power inside the body to combine ancient characters.
This is difficult, and I have no magical talent, and even after 10 years, I still can’t use it well.
“Hey. Noah, you’re finally kicked out of the house.”
A red-haired boy appeared in front of me.
He is the second son Glenn.
Talent aptitude is [fire attribute magic] and age is 13 years old.
Glenn is undoubtedly the next head candidate for the current Aldeheim family.
Glen had a nasty smile on his mouth.
“Hi Glen. Information is fast.”
“Isn’t it natural? When my father told me that I was the next head of the family, I was also told about Noah’s future.”
“I see, I feel lonely.”
“Huh! If you think about what to say, that’s it. You can’t be lonely. You can’t use magic because you’re a shame of the Aldeheim family. You’ll be gone and refreshed.”
“Haha, maybe.”
“… What are you laughing at? You can’t even use magic!”
With that said, Glen floated a ball of fire in the palm of his right hand.
“Can you do this !? Ha ha ha!”
I blew and extinguished Glen’s fireball.
I couldn’t erase it just by breathing, so I used ancient magic without chanting.
By the way, <<Breeze》 Is an ancient magic.
“What …! What are you doing!”
“You shouldn’t use Glenn’s magic because there are books around you.”
“Gununu … You’re always in a good mood because you can’t use magic …! That’s what makes you crazy!”
“I wonder if I’m on the right track …? I don’t mean that, but I’m sorry if it made me think so.”
“Oh! I’m crazy! I’m really crazy! I’ll be kicked out of my house early and die!”
Glenn put up abandoned lines and went away.
I haven’t been able to get along with Glen for a long time …
It’s sad that I can’t get along until the end.
“… It’s a little early, but will you leave? The Aldeheim family would be happier without me.”
I packed up my luggage and left the house.
