Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 114 Thermomeling

The bedroom that Yarrow chose was the spacious and comfortable master bedroom located at the back of the villa.

After washing up, Yaro put on his pajamas and went inside with his hair still wet.

With a slight exertion of its magic, the crystal chandelier hanging in the bedroom immediately emitted a soft glow.

The bedroom wasn't decorated much, and there wasn't much furniture either. Even the light wood desk on the left side of the entrance was something that Yaro had moved in himself.

During the day, Yaro opened the window in front of the desk to let in some fresh air.

At this moment, a cool night breeze was blowing gently, causing the curtains on both sides to sway constantly. With the rustling sound of the curtains, Yaro, who had just finished taking a bath, couldn't help but feel a chill.

I walked a few steps to the windowsill.

As Yaro was about to close the window, he glanced at the small courtyard outside and was inexplicably startled. A jolt of electricity ran through his scalp, and his limp mind immediately focused.

The backyard used to be a garden, but unfortunately it was ruined by the previous owner, leaving only some scattered flower pots and a muddy puddle that was just as uneven as the front yard.

At this moment, through the light in the bedroom, Yaro intently observed the outside world.

Whether the lights illuminated the land or the edges were dimly lit, everything was peaceful.

"Could it be that I've been fighting too much lately and the pressure is too great, causing me to hallucinate?"

Yaro hesitated for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have mistaken the raised clods of mud outside for a small cemetery.

I looked at it carefully several more times.

"There really is nothing there. It seems I was seeing things."

"That's true. Pipit patrols every day, and it checks all the uninhabited places daily. It can't be that strange things start happening as soon as I move in, can it?"

The curtains were drawn, and the courtyard fell silent once more.

……

"Sun Fist!"

Swish!
A sudden burst of intense light illuminated the entire backyard as if it were daytime. A sharp glint flashed in Yaro's eyes as he quickly scanned the entire backyard.

...Still no.

It seems it was just an illusion.

Yaro relaxed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Am I being too neurotic? I'm seeing ghosts everywhere. It seems I need to find a way to relax recently. If I keep going like this, I might really develop a nervous breakdown one day."

After closing the window, Yaro placed the longsword on the table and picked up a pen and paper from the side.

Although he had just scared himself, Yaro had indeed thought of some problems.

I lack the means to output my own message!
Can thermal fusion solve this problem?

Yaro tapped the table, beginning to ponder carefully.

The effect of heat fusion is somewhat awkward; it simply raises the temperature, and the highest temperature can only reach around 500 degrees Celsius.

Heat conduction takes time. Most living organisms are mainly composed of water. Short-term exposure to high temperatures will only cause the surface water to vaporize quickly and will not cause any damage to the internal organs.

You can't exactly hold onto someone for a long time and slowly roast them with that 500+ degree heat, can you?

Another problem is still because of the temperature of over 500 degrees Celsius.

For a skill book to take shape, the spell must be cast at close range, using a technique that melts at over 500 degrees Celsius.

So... on which part of the body should it be applied to to provide positive assistance in combat?
The heat fusion technique produced no explosion, no flames, no light or shadow, no kinetic energy... the temperature was neither high nor low.

At this temperature, the damage it can cause is far too low.

However, Aro felt it would be too wasteful to use a skill point just to learn one trick.

The power of a skill point lies not in what you can learn, but in obtaining a kind of coincidence that others cannot guarantee even with countless hours of training.

For example, the technique of tripping out by pushing off with the heel, the technique of flashing light when a fist is clenched, and the technique of exploding mist when the body leans back.

How long would it take other people to train and achieve that?

And we also need to ensure that it won't fail in subsequent use?
...After calming his mind, Yaro first wrote down 'hand'.

The only possible placement is the palm of the hand; any other location is impractical.

Now that the location has been determined, the next step should be to study how to use it.

The first option is to unleash the Heat Melt spell after summoning it in the palm, creating a short-range attack method.

But here are three key issues.

Problem 1: The maximum attack range is too short.

The Melting spell is an alchemical trick, and its maximum range cannot exceed two meters from the caster. Unlike the Fireball spell, it cannot be thrown out and then ignored.

Question 2: Can it be developed into a skill?

Only close-range magic tricks are considered skills. Once a trick is performed, should it be classified as a skill move or as a spell cast by the user?

If it's considered a skill or move, you can enjoy the benefits of learning skill points, turning the use of moves directly into muscle memory.

Just like walking, no one consciously controls which muscle to contract; as long as you think about walking, you will naturally walk.

If it counts as magic... think about how difficult it was to use the Magic Hand just now.

Question 3: Limited power.

If you shoot out a palm-sized amount of air at over 500 degrees Celsius, at most you can only burn a few blisters on the enemy's face.

The second option is to keep the heat fusion technique on the palm of the hand for a long time.

If this option is chosen, there is a high probability that maintaining the Heat Melt skill will be considered a follow-up move, and you will receive skill point bonuses.

However, this also has two drawbacks.

Disadvantage 1: The body cannot withstand it.

With the 500-degree heat continuously pressed against the palms, it won't be long before they're cooked through, right?
Disadvantage 2: How can I attack the enemy if I release the attack close to my palm?

After listing the two options and their five drawbacks in his notebook, Yarrow began to carefully consider them.

In terms of power, perhaps alchemical tools can compensate for it?
Now, the key to choosing between these two directions lies in whether a skill cast at close range can still be considered a skill after leaving the body.

Yaro had already devised a verification plan: list all the possibilities, design the moves, and then confirm whether they could be made into a skill book.

This method is somewhat like opening a combination lock box, listing all the combinations, and then trying them one by one.

Yaro had no other choice, since his system didn't come with a manual.

……

The test results showed that close-range moves could be executed, but once executed, they were no longer under the system's control!

Since that's the case, we can only use our hands close to the body to design moves based on this approach.

Before designing moves, we must first find a way to solve the two biggest drawbacks of Option Two.

"How to do it?"

Looking up at the drawn curtains, I subconsciously glanced at the cross-shaped sword on the table, and a flash of inspiration struck me—I suddenly had a solution.

"Using the weapon as a medium, the temperature of the heat-melting technique can be conducted to the sword blade, thus utilizing the power of the heat-melting technique!"

But how can we prevent burns to our palms?

One question after another arose, but at this moment, Yaro's thoughts flowed like a spring, and all sorts of inspirations kept emerging.

As the pen glided across the white paper, Yaro wrote more and more.

‘Shashasha…’

The sound of writing and drawing continued for a long time, and the sky gradually began to lighten with the first light of dawn.
