Reincarnation of the Warrior Party Archmage

chapter 2



“family?”

On the journey south, I remember Lista asking a strange question.

“Yeah, did you ever think about wanting to have a family, too?”

“doesn’t exist. I don’t even know the face of the mother who gave birth to me.”

He grew up in the slums of the North.

If the head of the school of Osarius, who was on the road, hadn’t seen his magical talent and hadn’t reaped it, he would have lived and died as an orphan on the street.

“So I don’t know what a family is like. I don’t know what it is, so I’m not interested.”

“Aww, what a pity… … .”

Then the priestess Friede mischievously hugged the boy and smoked him. He resisted the embarrassment and replied.

“Even if you have a family… … don’t know how to treat So there is no need.”

“It’s not difficult, Rin.”

A flower fresher than spring bloomed on Rista’s face after hearing such an empty murmur.

“Just save a lot. Rin is a kind child, so she will do well.”

young master.

Bocchan, it’s morning… … .

As the sight opens with a polite whisper, the landscape of nostalgic memories closes.

“Yes… … .”

The boy sat up on the bed and stretched.

Deep, brilliant sunlight.

It was morning, the melody of spring when the morning birds chirped.

“Then, Master Lane, I will prepare breakfast for you.”

The boy yawned and straightened his clothes while looking in the mirror.

Red eyes that are more beautiful than rubies with shiny black hair.

It is a body with a graceful appearance.

His elegant features did not have the nerdyness or rootless ruggedness peculiar to those who grew up in the slums.

To put it bluntly, the boy was reincarnated.

It was only 20 days ago that an immature and blunt nine-year-old child regained his memory from 300 years ago.

His reincarnated status was the eldest son of Prince Ludwig, one of the five Madose families representing the Empire.

The Ludwig family is a prestigious family whose founder is Ryuken Ludwig, the 5th great wizard who can be said to be the boy’s greatest senior.

Unlike his previous life when he was an orphan with nothing, he was born in a harmonious and affluent family, so the boy had to put in constant effort to adapt to the changed daily life.

“Bocchan, good morning.”

“Oh my goodness. Lane, you’re already awake. Do your best too! Yes, call your father. I will be happy if you come.”

“yes.”

My father was in the guest room.

It was a crowded room with luxurious furniture and countless papers.

“Rain, didn’t you sleep well? You don’t look good.”

Lane, Lane Ludwig.

The proud first son of Prince Ludwig.

“Is travel poisoning still unresolved… … .”

The father, Kavan Ludwig, took the temperature on the boy’s forehead. I suddenly remembered the days when Rista did similar things.

“The meal is ready, please come down.”

“hahahaha, is that why our son came personally? Thanks, but go ahead and eat.”

“why?”

The father hugged the boy, rubbed his beard on his face, and led him to the desk in the head office.

I saw it in the boy’s eyes.

A wide drawing paper spread out on a tabletop where the spring sunlight slanted through. A three-layered magic square drawn on the drawing paper.

“Magic?”

“Yes, because the theory presentation is next week. If you eat something, your head will be foggy. When my head is clear in the morning, I try to exert my full strength.”

The boy’s eyes quickly and accurately scanned the information on the magic square drawn on the drawing paper.

The shape of the magic square is three squares. The runes engraved are Zhou, Da, and Go.

It’s a square, so it’s earth attribute magic.

As can be seen from the fact that there are three magic squares and three runes, it is a three-star magic.

It is a state of high-level magic that even geniuses can barely reach.

‘It’s blocked there and there.’

But the boy was a great wizard.

The problem was visible at a glance.

“Can I help you?”

“Why, did you even think of cheering me on?”

“no. I’m here to help.”

“Rain’s support is of course welcome. But if that happens, only Dad will be scolded by Mom. Now, go ahead and have breakfast.”

No, it really helps.

Before Kavan had time to stop, the boy climbed onto the desk and took the quill in his hand.

‘What is magic?’

After determining the attributes with figures and the traits with runes.

‘The act of interpreting providence as a mathematical formula and twisting it to change it.’

Of course, the direction in which Kavan is blocked is the final work… … .

‘Is it a mathematical operation part?’

The mathematical formula that filled the inside of the magic square was suddenly cut off at some point.

“The rune of high makes the equation more complex and conflicts with the rune of tea. So it’s better to change to 丘.”

“… … ?”

“Then, the answer comes quickly by establishing the imperial equation number 41-2. Like this.”

The boy finished writing with a quill on the drawing paper and smiled.

No, how did you laugh?

Funny enough, I couldn’t remember how to smile at that time, so I had to twitch the corners of my mouth with both hands.

“This… … This way… … ?”

Kavan’s eyes opened wide when he didn’t know what to do with his son’s prank, and he looked at the drawing paper and his son’s face alternately.

‘This, how is this… … ?’

It was a difficult problem that even the competent scholars of the empire could not dare to find a solution to. It was a high-level magic practiced about 200 years ago.

If this magic can be reestablished, many people will receive miraculous help from natural disasters such as floods and landslides.

But Lane is only nine years old now. How can you do this at an age where you can just use basic magic… … ?

“Can we have breakfast together now?”

the boy asked.

The father blankly raised his head, then stroked his son’s head and laughed.

“Okay, let’s go eat together.”

* * *

The boy’s family line was not complicated.

There were parents above, and a six-year-old sister below.

The child standing now and staring at the boy with only her head sticking out is the younger sister.

Red eyes with hair as fine as ebony.

Just like Lane, a pretty girl who was born with the Ludwig family’s physical traits intact.

“… … ?”

But when our eyes meet, they run away.

not a crowd

In the boy’s memory, Rain was not kind to his sister. Rather than being unkind, he was indifferent to the world in the first place.

Is it because of the solitude engraved in the soul?

Perhaps it was because he lived a life full of emptiness, with the pain of being born in an era when all his colleagues died and became legends.

“… … .”

I tried to read the book, ignoring him as he kept running away, but there was a voice that kept bothering me.

– Save a lot.

How can you run away like that?

I’m busy with my work.

This body has a mess of magic power and lacks stamina. Even if you know how to use magic, if you don’t have magical power, it’s a horse.

– Since Rin is a kind child, she will be able to do well. I believe so.

The boy sighed heavily.

And when I met my sister’s eyes again, I gestured.

“Come on. What can I tell you? Or do you want to play?”

Her sister, Sherry Ludwig, seemed baffled by the question. So, after mumbling for a long time, he quickly ran away.

But after a while, he reappeared and held out a book to Lane with both hands.

“『The basic formula of 1-star magic』… … You’re six years old, are you already studying these things?”

Seri nodded her head.

Then, he started to dance. He looked so excited to be able to talk with his older brother.

– Come on, Lynn.

At that time, the nostalgic memories soaked the world in front of my eyes and passed by.

Every time I encounter a beautiful scenery.

Whenever she faced the vast nature and the splendid world, Lista would sit her on a bridge and teach her various things.

– Rin, do you know what this flower means?

– Lin, do you know what the story is on that cliff?

Rin complained about being treated like a child, but… … In fact, I really liked that time. So, he put the tax collector on his leg.

“What do you not know?”

“This, this-that!”

“You didn’t know the first part at all… … .”

“Yep!”

“okay. Now, let me explain.”

How can I talk about the vast world of magic?

“Have you ever played house building?”

“huh-!”

“A thatched house, a brick house… … Depending on what kind of house you are going to build, the materials will change, right? The magic square plays that role.”

magic square.

The shape of the magic square determines the properties of magic.

“If you draw a triangle like this, it’s a fire attribute, and a fan shape is a wind attribute. So, the magic written here is wind attribute magic.”

“Bar, badam!”

“The next step is runes. Runes determine the nature of magic.”

Runes are words given to magic, ancient words with different meanings.

In the case of Yul(律), bondage.

In the case of Ho (扈), scattering.

For example, if you engrave the rune of Yul on the triangle magic square, it will become a flame property binding magic.

“Now you can use the mathematical formula to solve the problem here.”

“Su-gak!”

“No, math.”

“Is it Su-Hak?”

“… … .”

“… … ?”

“Because Yul (律) requires a quadratic equation… … Okay, let’s just start with addition and subtraction.”

The maids and butlers exchanged breathless smiles while spying on the lovely scene.

“Brother Lane has changed.”

“I know. In the past, I didn’t even care if the tax collector cried next to me… … .”

“It seems like the gun has returned to your eyes since you went to the plaza.”

When the boy’s parents came to the library, the boy and girl were dozing side by side on the desk, unable to overcome the drowsiness of their childhood.

“oh… … .”

The boy’s mother, Brim, wiped away tears and covered her mouth.

“Honey, I want to leave this scene as a picture.”

“I won’t wake up when the painter comes. And you know that publicans are very shy.”

“still… … .”

Kavern cautiously approached and examined the things spread on the table. A basic magic book, a quill, and a sloppy magic square scrawled on drawing paper… … .

“Yes, you were teaching your little brother.”

Kavan smiled and put his hand on the boy’s head. Her little soft hair slipped through her fingers and blew in the spring breeze.

“I think Lane has become a completely different person since she went to the plaza.”

“Speaking has become more mature. Could it be that the abyss has been washed away?”

“What is Abyss? Seeing this, they say it’s a non-electronic war? I have had the same experience.”

The top graduates of Deliten, the leading magic university, have been given the opportunity to have an audience with Archmage Rin’s body since ancient times.

“It was 14 years ago that I took that opportunity and had an audience with Rin.”

“It was.”

“I was ashamed. That person reached 5 stars in the age of war, but I was only boasting as a 3 star wizard.”

Wizards of the rank of Atlas (3 stars) are also geniuses who will leave their names in this century. Currently, there are only 150 people across the Empire.

“Of course, the encounter that day did not make me a 4-star wizard. But it’s true that it was a big turning point. Rain is not like that.”

“Is Rin’s corpse really frozen?”

“Of course. It didn’t look like a corpse at all. How skillfully you use freezing magic. The 18-year-old image remains vivid.”

“Tell me more.”

“story? I want to, but there is nothing more to do.”

Kavan, who shook his head with a wry smile, suddenly said “Oh” and touched his chin.

“Come to think of it, in the middle of the ice there was magic left by the hero, Lista.”

“really?”

“The Balaur priests also said yes. It’s probably like a magic that only Rista or Rin can awaken, but it must be a letter.”

Lista’s magical power whispered like this.

To you, who will wake up one day and promised to do so, I leave a letter from my soul here. To you who will be coming here from somewhere far away.

Kavan smiled bitterly as he recalled the memories of that day, then raised his eyebrows.

“Ah, I see… … I had something to say to you.”

“What is it?”

“Rain is like a genius. Not just a genius, maybe… … You may reach the level of a sage.”

Kavern told me about how Rain solved the magic square in the morning. What he had been clinging to for a year but couldn’t solve, all at once.

“Ahh! So you were able to come to the breakfast table?”

“exactly. So, although it’s a bit early, I’m going to start teaching Rain about home appliance magic.”

The Ludwig family has been called ‘stealing wizards’ since ancient times.

When he reached the limit of his realm, he opened his demonic eyes, because these eyes were famous for their ability to read and steal all magic.

It was also called the Ludwig family’s home appliance magic, and the lineage limit that only those who inherited the family’s blood could use.

“Of course I don’t know how much I can teach… … .”

“Is that enough?”

“About that.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I’ll think about the next thing then. For now, I am just teaching as best I can.”

Kavan patted the boy’s head gently and smiled again.

“Since you are such a lovely son, I want to do everything I can as a parent.”
