The Villain Changed the Ending

006 Magic study

*****[Oscar, the main character]*****

There will be no concept of a cell in this world yet.

But I know that the human body is made up of cells.

Sending my mana to someone else to warm them up means that I can touch the cells of others with my mana.

Instead of creating fire or water in the palm of your hand, if you could do it inside someone else’s body, if you could burn a cell or block the flow of blood.

‘It can kill people without anyone knowing.’

I looked up and saw Sven.

“Sir, does anyone else know about this study?”

Sven was excited for a moment, but quickly became depressed after hearing my words.

“I explained this to some nobles while I wasn’t in class. But nobody was interested. So what the hell was that like? I didn’t even have a chance to actually show it to anyone.”

Sven let out a small sigh and dropped his shoulders.

“Mr. Sven, I want to buy your study, what should I do?”

“huh?”

“Just because I live doesn’t mean I’m going to take everything or steal your research. I just don’t want to reveal this research to anyone.”

“Oscar?”

“Of course, I will continue to support your research. I have the estate that my grandfather gave me, and I think I will be able to raise money somehow. Teacher, please.”

“You’re so kind! You’re trying to uphold your grandfather’s will! Oscar! You’re such a good boy.”

“…”

It’s not like that, but Sven was very moved and had tears in his eyes.

“Thank you, Oscar.”

“Nothing at all, sir. Then can I sign the contract now?”

I jumped up and took the paper from the desk.

“Do you have the amount you want, sir?”

“that….”

Sven glanced at me slightly.

“What if it’s about half of what I’m getting for a year’s tuition… uh… what about it?”

Noble sons rarely deal directly with money.

Usually, it seems that the accompanying attendant pays for it on its own or attaches it like a credit card.

Moreover, I was too young to ever go out of the castle except for funerals.

You don’t know the value of money.

But from Sven’s attitude, I could tell that the amount he was offering was quite high in this world.

It’s possible that it’s simply because Sven’s research isn’t popular, but it’s probably because this world is less aware of patents and information than the modern Earth.

Anyway, by the standards of my previous life, the cost of buying the whole study is very small. It was almost cheap, free.

“Okay, sir.”

I smiled lightly.

Excited Sven jumped up from his seat.

“Thank you, Oscar! I will write the contract.”

Sven hurriedly picked up the pen, as if he was afraid of my change of heart. Quickly take ink and write down the contents of the contract.

Seeing that, I felt a little sorry.

If not in a few years, Sven may soon find out that this research is of great importance.

‘But just in case someone like me thinks of something like this, it’s troublesome.’

Instead, when I earn some money, let’s compensate me enough.

“Sir, I would like to add a little more confidential information. Is that okay?”

When I said this while looking at the text of the contract, Sven gave a friendly smile.

“Of course, Oscar.”

Looking at the contract with the non-disclosure clause stating that the owner of the study was not the duke, but Oscar himself, I smiled lightly.

Survival rate slightly increased.

“Ah, sir. This is my personal request. From now on, sir, please never make any contracts or promises by yourself. If something like that happens, I would like you to postpone it as you should discuss it with me before contacting me.”

“…”

Sven’s shoulders dropped slightly. He had a slightly downcast face.

“That’s what the late Duke said. It seems to have worried little Oscar.”

It seems that my grandfather was also concerned that this person had a gullible personality.

I moved closer to Sven and looked up at his face.

“Sir, I promise.”

“Okay, Oscar. If anything happens, I will definitely come to you and discuss it first.”

“thank you.”

Suddenly, Sven looked at me with soft eyes.

“Oscar, you’ve changed a bit since the duke passed away. It seems you’ve become an adult in that short time.”

“…”

Because I’m actually an adult.

I muttered to myself and smiled.

It was fortunate that Oscar was a smart kid by nature.

If it wasn’t for that, the discomfort wouldn’t have been a joke.

If you make a mistake, you may be dragged into a monastery or imprisoned under the pretext of being possessed by a demon.

In fact, there were witch hunts in the Middle Ages.

‘Let’s be careful with that in the future.’

Sven looked at the contract happily several times and then politely placed it in his arms.

“Then, shall we feel what magic actually is like today?”

Sven said with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Oscar, you are very gifted. A normal person only learns that he has the aptitude of a wizard when he is ten years old. But you created fire at only two years old. That’s amazing. Duke. It’s so great that he asked me to be a tutor right now.”

Sven held my hand.

“I’ve met wizards while wandering around many countries, but I’ve never seen anyone show off their abilities as early as you.”

The hand held by Sven hurts.

“But you can become stronger by learning my theories. You can spread the word to everyone in the world how great magic is in reality to be treated as a worthless clown. I assure you.”

“…”

“We’re making great history right now!”

Saliva protruded from the excited Sven’s mouth.

The face is damp.

I tilted my face slightly to avoid saliva and opened my mouth.

“Sir, please don’t forget that you have agreed to confidentiality.”

“huh?”

“Magic research is a secret, sir.”

“…”

“I can’t boast to others about how I can transmit magic or how to use it.”

“…”

Could it be that I didn’t know something so basic?

Sven was dazed for a moment, then knelt down and fell forward.

“I-I thought something like that… would teach those who were ignoring me a lesson.”

The driving force behind this person’s research must have been a desire to brag.

It seems very disappointing.

If it is restrained too much, it may run wild in a strange direction.

After thinking for a while, I sat down in front of him.

“Sensei, I can’t reveal my magical powers, but if I can use magic greater than anyone else’s, it’s thanks to your teachings. Your name will be widely known. I’ll study magic hard enough to make you proud.” .”

“Oscar.”

“I will work hard so that you can boast far more than magic research.”

“… Huggin, everyone was jealous and envious when they found out that I was going to be the tutor of the duke’s family.”

Sven got up. Shake your fat body slightly while clenching your fists.

“Okay. From today I will do my best to teach you.”

You don’t need all your strength.

But thank you for teaching me with enthusiasm.

Magic will be a means to protect my body in times of danger.

“thank you sir.”

“Then, let’s feel the magical power as soon as possible.”

I tried to sense the energy flowing through my body as Sven said, but I couldn’t feel anything.

The magic of this world is simple.

Neither fluent spells nor complicated magic circles were needed.

However, there are no special theories or standards, so you have to learn with your own senses.

Because it is not a visible force, it is very difficult to feel it.

It’s probably similar to something like qi therapy on Earth.

I tried it a few times by myself, but I couldn’t move or feel the magical power at all.

“Sir, I don’t know at all. I can’t feel anything. They say I made sparks when I was little, but maybe someone was mistaken or it was a coincidence.”

When I was disappointed, Sven smiled.

“Huh, it’s only natural. If you could feel magic so easily, everyone would become great wizards. The ancient magic that’s lost now would have been ridiculous.”

It is said that the first manifestation of magic is usually when you are startled or when your emotions are intensified.

There are sparks flying out of nowhere without your knowledge, water droplets forming on your hands, or a slight hollow in the ground.

But if you ask me to do it again, I can’t do all 100 of them.

Because he himself doesn’t know how he caused it.

“It’s difficult to get the hang of it at first. It took twenty years for even me, who was heavily armed with theories, to transmit magic to others.”

Sven took my hand as he said that.

“Oscar, close your eyes and pay attention to the magic that moves me.”

“…”

I closed my eyes as Sven told me to, and focused on my hands.

The heat was transferred little by little from the hand and the skin it touched, making the palm warm.

The heat gradually spread to the fingertips.

“The current warmth is the flow of magic power. Feel it. You can think of it as a collection of very small particles of magic power.

“…”

“Imagine that you move yours according to my magic.”

That was the moment.

Suddenly my hands became hot.

It’s not Sven’s magic.

It was different from that, the heat radiating from the inside of my body.

“oh!”

Sven removed his hand in surprise.

When I opened my eyes in surprise at that wind, Sven was looking at his hand with a shocked face.

“teacher?”

“oh my god.”

Sven muttered and looked at me with a pale face.

“What did you just… do? Oscar?”

“I just moved my magic…”

“Magic energy… has entered my body. It was something I finally mastered after twenty years of hard work.”

Sven muttered blankly.

Suddenly, Sven’s face bloomed.

“oh my god!”

Sven raised both hands.

And it spins round and round

“Oscar! You’re a genius! You’re only five years old! Magic is fast, but learning is even more amazing! My disciple! My proud disciple is a genius!”

Sven shouted happily, but after a while he bent forward.

My face is red.

Sven’s hand was swollen.

“Teacher! Are you okay?”

“It hurts! It hurts! Oscar!”

Sven smiled with a strange face as sweat dripped from his forehead.

“It hurts so much! You’re amazing! You can transmit so much mana that it hurts!”

“Sir, this is not the time to talk like that. I’ll call the doctor.”

When I panicked and tried to leave, Sven shook his head.

“It’s okay, Oscar. This pain will go away on its own after a while. I’ve been experimenting with small animals and insects. The smaller the subject, the less magic power you can get.”

Sven laughed hahahaha and leaned forward.

Being sick is very painful.

“Most laboratory animals are back to normal in a matter of minutes. I’m sure I am. But you’re amazing, Oscar, for making a big human like me do that. I’m proud of you.”

Sven muttered something to himself for a while, probably to forget the pain.

“… you will regret it at the conference… they… made fun of magic… if my student became a great wizard and became famous… if he became a palace wizard… becoming a professor would be my dream. is not…”

Oh, I remembered.

Standing tall, I looked at Sven’s pensive face.

‘I didn’t know because it was only Sven, but this person, Svenia and I… what was it?’

The name was too long, so I only remembered the first part, Svenia, but it seems that Mr. Sven was a character who appeared as a mad magician in the novel.

A mage named Svenia Whatsigi is originally a child of a viscount, but is kicked out of the house after being absorbed in useless magic.

He researches magic to show the family who expelled him and his friend who ridiculed him a lesson, but later causes a big explosion and dies.

He is a character who appeared in the novel without any context and disappeared without meaning.

‘He was hired here.’

At this point, I thought it was strange.

When I read the novel, I just thought that my wife had no talent for storytelling.

But maybe it’s something different.

It was as if the wife had not created a novel, but had simply transcribed the existing world into writing.

‘No, no way.’

yeah, that won’t happen.

‘There’s no way that person had anything like superpowers, and that’s probably an exaggerated idea.’

I shook my head lightly and brushed my thoughts away.
