Reincarnated Hero System

"Then why did you tell me about it in the first place?! You made me curious for no reason!"

"That was the point of telling you."

Seeing Evan's teasing smile as he replied made Eliza's lips twist into a pout. She flicked his forehead and turned around 'angrily', somehow not forgetting to wrap his arms around her waist as if trying to tighten his grip on her body.

"I'm going to sleep."

"Just like that? No goodnight kisses?"

Once again, Eliza felt her brow twitch as she turned around to give Evan a peck on the lips, however, she should have obviously expected the boy to take things a bit further than just a normal kiss.

She just gave up and accepted the French kiss at first, but the moment she felt Evan's arm going downwards, she grabbed it and pulled it off her body with her strength.

"OW! OW!! OW!!!"

Ignoring the boy's fake exclamations of pain, she turned around once more and wrapped his arms around her waist before repeating her earlier words.

"Go to sleep."

"Yes, Ma'am."

City Lord's Mansion

Bultom Dungeon City

Cheverton Duchy

April 21st

Year 1052

The high-ranking knights and military officials, along with a few A-rank adventures were greeted with a strange sight on this fine morning.

On the floor of the training grounds of the Lord of Bultom's castle, sat the son of the Great Western Empire's Prime Minister, with two of the Grandmaster level mages working under the Duke of Cheverton seated/squatting beside him.

In front of this trio, was a strange magic circle drawn with magic chalk on a large cardboard placed on the ground. Unlike the regular magic circles that had three parts, this one had only two.

Normal magic circles had three parts; with the rings denoting the flow of magic and the level of the magic, the mark in the centre of the circle denoting the element being invoked and the magic letters written at the bottom of the mark, describing the type of magic that was being invoked.

However, the circle on the floor in the middle of these three was definitely not ordinary, otherwise, these two grandmaster-level mages would not have spent the past few hours on it.

"Young Duke, this is a bit of a problem.

The spell is already complicated as it is, trying to form a pseudo version of the spell is one thing, but then trying to create an imitation of this pseudo version frankly sounds like a lot of work."

"I agree. Besides, the sheer amount of energy required for this process is outrageous, even for us."

"Well…I should have expected that.

This spell isn't your regular tactical-type magic spell, after all."

Evan sighed in exhaustion as he spoke while twirling the magical chalk in his hands. If a certain goddess knew just what he was trying to do right now, there was a very high chance of her descending just to give him a knock on the head.

[Master…are you sure you should even be using this kind of magic?]

The great lightning spirit seated on Evan's shoulder asked out with a worried voice as she tried to wrap her head around the spell circle on the floor.

It had elements of lightning mixed within it, with a part of the mark in the centre denoting the lightning and fire elements, hence she could just about get a vague idea of the absurdity of the magic in front of her.

There were a bit of light elements and a few other elements and energies that Kayla was stunned to realise that she could not recognize in it, which made the spell look all the more dangerous to her.

"Don't worry, Kayla.

I'd be fine."

The two mages were initially confused upon hearing him speak, but when Kayla manifested her physical body and took the magic chalk out of Evan's hands, their confusion turned to shock.

"Why so surprised? Never seen a spirit before?"

The young hero casually asked them while he watched Kayla slightly modify part of the spell circle on the floor.

"Oh my, if you modify that node over there, it makes it easier for the energy to flow over to this part of the circle."

Evan's words snapped the mages out of their shock and they turned to the magic circle with slightly surprised eyes.

"Then by adding these characters here and taking away this letter from the description, you can potentially boost the amount of lightning and fire damage the spell deals."

One of the mages instantly realised what Kayla was doing and picked up his magic chalk, making his own edits to the spell circle while the second one joined in.

"By adding this extra link to his segment there, the burden on the caster could be reduced, making it possible for one to cast the spell even at a lower level of existence."

"Yea…then if I use this…"

The four went back to their magic discussion, with the Duke and Bultom's City Lord coming out to meet this strange sight the quartet modifying one large spell circle.

"Evan, I need something from your invent-What are you guys doing?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's you, Pride.

What's up?"

The young hero asked the high demon who was staring at the magic circle on the floor with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Shouldn't you use a different set of runic characters here?"

"Here…? Wait Up! That actually works!"

Evan edited a part of the spell circle, eventually making it larger and having more weird scribblings within it.

"What kind of spell is this anyway?"

"The kind that can enable the current me to deal a heavy blow to an intermediate stage grandmaster level existence with a single strike."

"Huh?" "ha???!!!" "What?!" "Say what now?!"

Evan ignored all the weird voices of surprise he heard and turned his attention to the high demon standing beside him and asked her reason for looking for him.

"Almost forgot.

Can you give me my other duffel bag, the one with my weapon maintenance tools?"

"Kayyy."

The boy fished his hand into his inventory to search for Pride's bag while turning his gaze towards the slightly surprised Duke and asking.

"Is there a problem?"

"…One of the church's main forces has returned from their expedition and is making their way towards the estate.

It's the one headed by a certain Bishop Harris."

"Oh! Amelie is here!"

Evan tossed the bag from his inventory towards Pride before getting to his feet and rolling up the cardboard on the floor and tossing it into his still-open inventory.

"Gimme a minute to change."

The boy looked up at one of the open-air balconies of the castle building, narrowing his eyes and activating a skill.

His body disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared on the balcony, with his hands already taking off his shirt as he walked through the balcony door and into the castle room.

Merely two minutes later, he performed another disappearing act and reappeared right in front of the Duke while slinging a dark noble coat over his shoulder.

"Let's go then."

Like so, the noble trio walked out of the castle and boarded carriages that took them towards the gate of the estate, arriving just in time for the church's carriages to reach.
