Unexpected Story – Isekai

"Right!"

...

"Left shoulder!"

...

"Dodge back and stab!"

...

Slash!

Clank!

Slash-Thrust!

Roaarrr!

Boom!

"Good! Now let's grab the loot and quickly move to the next place"

"I'm tired. Please carry me"

"Your body is bigger and heavier!"

"Size doesn't reflect true strength does it? Come on grandpa carry me"

"I don't want to! Then let's go back home early."

"I'm just kidding. Let's go find more monsters Jimmy!"

"Mammaa... Huuhhee!"

Today I've hunted 8 orcs and it's been 2 months since I trained in the forest against these monsters.

Little Jimmy who grew up faster can now stand up and talk a little. He's still only half a year old. I don't know how children develop in this world but I think he's a little faster. Grandpa said so too.

I collected the loot I got and sorted it out. I'll sell the low-quality items so as not to fill up my storage.

Maybe because I have bought a lot of many thing in this shop, Auction menu suddenly unlocked. Since the Auction menu in the shop is open, it's easier for me to dispose of items that are useless but with a very low selling price. I rarely used the shop anymore, because they were deceiving me.

I could have gotten things many times cheaper in the market directly than in the shop. Now I really won't waste money anymore.

'It's getting smaller!'

The exp from killing these monsters is not as much as I thought. It took 2 months and killing an average of 3 orcs could only increase 5 levels and the leveling up points were getting higher.

The stats I got had also begun to be hampered. Especially with the increasingly poor quality Loot. So I had to think of another way.

I get bored very easily. Especially with hunting the same monsters every day. I had to quickly learn something new to alleviate this boredom.

"Is there anything else I can learn grandpa?"

"Hmmm, I don't think so. I've run out of materials to teach you."

"That's it? Is it just the basics of swordplay that you know?"

"You have mocked me? Despite being this old I was once a respected man. Experienced in facing monsters, you know!"

"What were you?"

"I was a former... former adventurer! That's right I was an adventurer and I was very good!"

"Then why don't you teach me the skills you showed me when we first met?"

"You can't learn that! Or...  maybe not... yet. It's just pure power, ha ha"

"Come on grandpa I know you're lying. Come here you little feisty old man"

I did what he didn't like, hugging him.

"No-no ma'am, your body... your body stinks!"

"Why are you always avoiding me? Don't you like this?"

I showed off my chest by shaking it many times.

"Yes-I mean no! Okay-okay... I'll give you some new training. This-this... this is spell no- magic, I'll teach you magic!"

"Let's go home now!"

"But-wait... I don't think you're suitable. You need to be in full control of your mana..."

I flowed mana all over my body and sword. I obtained it from the mana control upgrade skill. Although it was thin but the energy was still visible to the naked eye.

"Like this?"

"What? Like this again..."

"I'm great, right?"

"Mammaa-mammaa!"

"That's right Jimmy! You have a genius mama!"

"Huh, well you win"

"Let's learn it right now!"

"But-but don't ask any questions. You can only learn what I give you. Understood?"

"I'm only interested in magic"

"Okay, we'll be right back."

I don't know if it's his secret or his past but grandpa's behavior can't lie to me. However, I wasn't interested in the secret. I'll let Grandpa tell it himself.

**

"Come on, open it quickly."

"Wait!"

"Why are you keep silent? Is there a special ritual to open this chest? Otherwise I'll open it myself"

"No! Wait ma'am, argh..."

This old grandpa said that he kept spell books that were used to learn magic.

I was so impatient to learn and the old man was reluctant to open the chest that contain the books.

Krack...

Grandpa's worn wooden chest opened with a squeak. Inside the chest were old books and dusty paper scrolls. I guess it hasn't been opened in a long time.

One diary-like book was quickly picked up by grandpa. It seemed to be a secret grandpa didn't want to tell.

"Is this the magic book? And what is this paper scroll?"

"Hmmm, it's a book to control mana and please put down the scroll ma'am. It's a scroll that contains a powerful spell"

I had promised not to ask anything other than what he asked. And now I'm waiting for what he's going to teach me first.

"This is the book I suggest you read first. In this world magic is the most complicated science and you must learn it one by one and it must be in order"

"Okay... and the scroll?"

I glanced again at the scroll with a red ribbon seal. From the outside I felt something very mysterious. I became curious.

"I mentioned earlier, didn't you listen to me? This is something you shouldn't touch"

'I think the scroll contains a high-level spell. I want to know what it is but I can't just open it'

Among the books in the chest, grandpa chose two dark blue books and gave them to me. I looked at the covers.

'What is this strange language? I can't read it'

"Are you still interested in learning boring magic ma'am?"

"Uh, of course I am, but it looks like I'll have a hard time reading it"

"I can't help you with this. It's actually not my field either, it's just that I have these books to read"

"Okay grandpa, that's okay. Maybe I need some time to just understand the writing"

"Good then, I will take care of your son for the time being. Please prepare the food."

"Thank you very much"

**

...

‘Hmmm...’

"I can't take it anymore"

For hours I've been looking through this book but there's nothing I can understand. I really don't know how to read it.

This is strange. I can talk to grandpa but not the written word. Looks like I have to buy reading skills at the shop.

"Let's search. Hmmm... I got it!"

Instantly the 200 gold disappeared. Why didn't I buy it in the first place!

[Congratulations! You got the skill!]

[Language Translator Lv1]

...

If I knew that gold was hard to come by, I should have been wiser in buying things here. It was all already done but it was all because there was no other choice.

I also know a quick way to get it back but I still don't want to deal with that perverted goblin again. I might just do it if I really need it.

'Alright let's not waste any time and learn right away!'

"...Basics of mana formation for beginners"

...

"Magic circle is..."

...

"Where to store mana..."

...

"How to change mana into magic..."

...

"Hmmm..."

**

...

[Congratulations! You got Heat Lv1 skill]

"Yes! Finally..."

...

"Heat!"

I immediately recited the magic I had just obtained but the results were not that what I expected.

I've never been talented at learning and in this world it's the same.

The Heat spell is a very basic level spell equivalent to spill, shock and cut. Grandpa said that a witch student should be able to do it within an hour and a maximum of one day. While I could only understand the basic spells within a week.

'This is very embarrassing. But it's okay'

This basic spell is used to test one's mana affinity. With the heat spell, I had just determined mine to be fire.

My hand was surrounded by a bit of smoke like it was burning but not hot. The user will only feel warmth.

In that book, I learned that the hardest part of becoming a witch is the process of raising the mana circle. In addition, the middle and upper spells are also very difficult to learn.

The book explained that to be able to cast high-level magic a witch must be able to understand the complex spell diagram and also memorize the language that will be used for the mana structure.

And again, the timing in giving mana into the spell must also be precise. A little wrong, the spell will be destroyed and must be repeated from the beginning. That's why witch relies heavily on intelligence.

I, who can't calmly learn and get bored quickly, definitely hate this. Grandpa was right, I'm not talented in magic.

'I'll just make some money and buy it at the shop!'

Ding!

[You got the Quest!]

"Thank you!"
