Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 37: Word Spirit: Courage

A few days later, in the principal's office.

Ange looked at the fireball in his hand with an extremely wonderful expression.

For an old man who has been fighting with the power of words for more than a hundred years, firmly believes that only dragons in the world have extraordinary powers, and this theory has been verified by thousands of years of human history.

This shock is no less than suddenly finding out that your old lover of more than ten years is a man.

Magic is closely related to mental strength. The mental strength of mixed-bloods far exceeds that of ordinary people, so it is not difficult for them to learn magic.

During the days that Matthew was in the hospital, Ange would take time to go to his ward every day to conduct some py transactions with him.

No, it's about learning magic theory.

In just a few days, he had mastered the most basic fireball technique in the Book of Death.

"clap clap"

Matthew, who was sitting opposite him, clapped softly, waking Ange up.

"Headmaster, it's clear that your magical talent is unexpectedly good."

Ange withdrew the fireball in his hand and was silent for a moment.

"I can now truly feel a power completely different from the Word Spirit flowing through my body.

It's not strong right now, but I don't see where the upper limit is."

"Is there any conflict between magical power and your bloodline?"

“No, not only did it not conflict with the government, but it actually had a certain promoting effect.

I can feel that the dragon blood in my body can make the magic power more active, making it easier to store magic power and use magic.

How is this going? "

"It's just as I guessed."

Matthew felt a little sour.

In most worlds, dragons are magical creatures.

Has a strong affinity with magic.

Can easily use various high-level magic.

Dragon descendants with dragon blood also have strong physiques and outstanding magical abilities.

They belong to a powerful race that practices both physical and magical skills.

In the dragon world, the Word Spirit itself is a power to manipulate elements. How bad can the magical ability of a hybrid who possesses the Word Spirit be?
"Principal, have you ever read online novels, anime, games, or anything like that?"

Ange immediately understood what he meant and frowned slightly.

“But that’s just from movies and TV shows. We’ve explored things like magic before, but ultimately we returned to the Word Spirit and didn’t gain anything.

How did you find out?

"It was just an accident."

"Just an accident?"

"Ah."

"I thought you were going to say it was inspired by God."

“I don’t believe in God.”

Ange looked at Matthew's priest robe strangely.

Matthew shrugged.

“Okay, okay, actually I dreamt about it, it was like some kind of enlightenment.

Or, a dream from an immortal?

All in all it's a good thing.

The emergence of magic will give hybrids more options in battle, no longer limited to a single word spirit.

Even hybrids of lower bloodlines can inflict considerable damage through magic.

For thousands of years, you have been fighting with words, so your thinking will inevitably be restricted when conducting research.

Ordinary people like me who like to daydream can sometimes make breakthroughs.”

“You’re no ordinary person, Matthew.

Your melee combat ability is stronger than many half-bloods, and this cannot be explained by simple strengthening magic."

"Melee combat ability? That comes from my devout faith in God."

"That's not what you just said."

Ange said seriously.

"This concerns your research funding."

Hearing this, Matthew perked up immediately. His previously nonchalant expression faded, and his face gradually became serious.

"In that case, I can only tell you a secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time.

In fact, when I was young, I had a very strong regenerative ability. Even without the application of healing magic, most injuries could be healed in a very short time.

I haven't systematically studied knowledge about the dragon clan, so I don't know if this can be considered a word spirit.

Besides that, you know I majored in theology in college and I love watching anime.

For a while, I always fantasized that I could be as cool as the priests in anime.

for example"

"For example, Father Anderson, the Gunsword Priest of the Royal Anglican Knights? The Eighth Mystery Society in the Holy Grail War?" Ange continued.

"Principal, do you watch those two anime too? We're fellow enthusiasts!" Matthew's eyes lit up.

"No, I just heard Norma mention it when she reported your information."

“Well, that’s a shame.

Continuing with the previous topic, after watching anime, I tried to imitate them and then succeeded.

Not only did he discover that he could engrave the Bible like Father Anderson, but he also discovered the magical power that exists in the world.

You should know what happens next.”

Ange's expression froze.

"You mean, you thought about it, and then you succeeded?

Could it be that your words are related to the spirit? Can they materialize what you think of?

The old man immediately overturned his own opinion after he said this.

"No, a half-blood can't do it just by thinking about it, not even the four kings can do it.

Perhaps this world already has elemental power and magic, and you only discovered it because of your strong spiritual realm and your tendency to daydream.

The extraordinary recovery ability is the effect of the Word Spirit."

"What's my word spirit called?"

"As far as I know, none of the Word Spirits discovered so far have this effect. It is very likely an unknown Word Spirit.

Further research is needed.

However, to allow your combat power to reach this level, your Word Spirit Sequence must be high.

As the owner of a new Word Spirit, why don't you give it a name?"

"Name?"

Matthew fell into deep thought.

His special physique as a regenerator was considered by Ange to be a kind of spiritual power, which was obviously the best outcome.

As for the name
Matthew put aside the "God" that had fooled Caesar before, thought about it, and suddenly spoke.

"Why not just call it 'courage'?

In the face of fear, courage is humanity's hymn.

When a dragon, superior to humans, descends, all I can rely on is courage."

"Courage, what a good name."

Ange's eyes suddenly became vague, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

After a while, the old man slowly stood up from his chair and extended his hand to Matthew.

"Congratulations, Father Matthew. I have decided to select several researchers to initiate a research project on magic.

You will be the person in charge of this project.

The word magic always makes people think of infinite possibilities. I hope you can continue to surprise me."

"I am very honored."

Matthew also stood up.

"Believe me, this is another right choice you've made."

The two held their hands tightly together.

"Principal, regarding funding..."

"Yes, but Matthew, the limit I can accept is that at least half of the funds must be used for research, you know."

"I think you have somewhat misunderstood me."

"Then can you return my credit card with a limit of 100,000 yuan?"

"Principal, you are really good at judging people."
