Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

The trajectory of blood flow, the speed of blood flow, and the blood itself... everything related to blood constitutes an extremely special ritual framework. This is equivalent to allowing Sieg and Em to carry with them a magic that only needs to be injected with magic power to take effect.

But unlike Em, this spell made of Sieg's blood is even more peculiar - it has no fixed framework. As long as Sieg has an idea, the framework itself will change immediately and produce corresponding effects. It can be said to be a universal magic in a sense.

Therefore, Sieg can use magic with just a thought.

The reason why Sieg is in the training ground now is because of another hypothesis proposed by Em.

"laugh!"

A cluster of flames ignited at Sieg's fingertips.

This is the fire magic that Sieg uses most often. It started a few years ago when Sieg was eating a dragon. Since he couldn't get used to eating raw meat, he wondered if he could roast it with fire. As a result, flames started burning in his hands the next moment.

Come to think of it, maybe that was the moment when Sieg awakened his magic.

And if that's the case, then - can Sieg also use magic other than fire magic?

"In any case, start with a situation that you can imagine specifically, and it's best to be simple and easy, like the most basic water magic, wind magic, etc."

Beside Sieg, in the hands of Brunhilde, the attendant, Em said this through remote communication.

Nodding slightly, Sieg imagined the wind blowing in his mind.

next moment--

"call--------!!!"

The leaping flames suddenly disappeared.

Instead, a sudden gust of wind blew up! The entire training room was instantly filled with strong winds! The wind blew up the clothes on Zigg's body!

(Successful?)

Standing in the strong wind, Sieg looked at his hands in disbelief - he swore he had just thought about it in his mind!

“It seems to be very successful.”

"Also, Miss Hill, could you please turn the camera around and move it downwards? With such a strong wind, your skirt must have been—"

[I'm sorry, Master Em. Although I have a physical body, physical interference has no effect on me. You should know this.]

"Gu——!"

Em on the screen suddenly showed a very regretful expression.

Without paying attention to the situation over there, Sieg, who was bathed in the strong wind, suddenly had an idea in his mind. Since he could imagine wind magic, then could other things be possible as well...

“Beep!”

As the scene emerged in Sieg's mind, the howling wind suddenly stopped, and at the same time, wisps of lightning flashed and flowed in his hands.

It is Kamui's lightning magic.

Because he had been electrocuted by him many times, Sieg could be sure that the lightning in his hand was almost exactly the same as Shenwei's lightning, except that the color was lighter than his.

"Oh? You have a good imagination. Among the basic elemental magic, the lightning magic has a relatively complicated structure, but you can use it so easily... Your talent is even better than I thought."

"...Maybe I'm just more familiar with it."

Sieg played with the lightning in his hand and tried to condense it into an arrow shape like Kamui.

But suddenly, a feeling of emptiness came from deep inside his body. Sieg felt his whole body go limp and he almost fell to the ground. The lightning in his hand also suddenly disappeared.

【Lord Sieg! 】

Upon seeing this, Brunhilde threw away the screen in her hand and quickly came to Sieg and supported him.

[Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the bathroom right now!]

"No... no need..."

After taking a few breaths, Sieg touched his body and said, "I just suddenly feel weak... and I feel... uncomfortable?"

[Feeling unwell? Could it be due to excessive use of magic? ]

"...Probably not."

Sieg ignited a fire in his palm, which then transformed into a small whirlwind.

"The magic can still be used, and it seems that the magic power has not been used up."

"Maybe it's because we don't have the same personality as each other?"

Em's voice came from the floor not far away.

"Indeed, this kind of situation does happen. A magician who is particularly good at a certain system cannot use magic from other systems properly. It seems that you are not very good at lightning magic?"

"But this is to be expected. After all, you can use magic with just your imagination, so the accuracy of your imagination and the compatibility of your own magic with the target magic are very important. In your case, fire magic is probably what you are best at, wind magic is hard to say, and lightning magic is not compatible with you at all, to the point where just using it will cause physical discomfort."

Is it incompatible with lightning magic?

Sieg couldn't help but think of Shenwei's arrogant and stinky face, and a feeling of disgust suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah, I think so. Just thinking about that damn dwarf's stinky face makes me want to vomit - I shouldn't have used lightning magic."

"Hehe~~~ It seems that you have your own situation. Then you should try various magics as much as possible. In addition to fire magic, it is best to find a few more magics that you are more comfortable with. This will also help to kill the dragon - you want to kill the dragon, right?"

Kill the dragon.

Mentioning this topic, Sieg paused for a moment and said, "...If it's for survival, or if I'm attacked by a dragon, then I will kill the dragon."

"Hmm. It seems you are the more active type then."

"I'm looking forward to seeing how many dragons you'll kill next."

16. Rebirth

Two days passed quickly.

Inside the data room of the Clinshid.

"Hmm~~~Apart from fire magic, the most convenient ones are only [Wind Magic] and [Freeze Magic]."

Em muttered to herself as she looked at the collected information.

During these two days, since it was clear that Sieg could use magic based on his imagination alone, Em conducted a series of tests on this. The most important one was to test the types of magic Sieg could use and his compatibility with different types of magic.

After all, Sieg had only used lightning magic once before and he became like that. If he accidentally used magic that was incompatible with his own without knowing it, it would be a disaster.

Moreover, the practice of magic should indeed be based on the areas in which one is good at. Forcing oneself to delve into areas in which one is not good at will only result in half the effort and twice the results, or even nothing at all.

During the two days of training, Em also identified Sieg's areas of expertise.

To put it simply, the area of ​​magic that Sieg excels in is [Elemental Magic], especially [Fire Magic], [Freeze Magic] and [Wind Magic]. These three types of magic are most convenient for Sieg to use. In his own words, it is easier to imagine the way flames burn, the way wind blows, and the way things freeze.

For Sieg, who relies on imagination and ideas to use magic, [accuracy of imagination] can be said to be the most important factor affecting the effect of magic.

"Well, then focus on training these three types of magic from now on. I will help you organize all the information related to these three types of magic, and you can come to me at any time. If you encounter anything you don't know, just come and ask me."

"I see. Thank you, Miss Em."

Sieg nodded slightly in thanks.

Em also smiled and said, “No need to thank me, no need to thank me. After all, it was Sister Hill who asked me to do this, and I have nothing to do here, so I just treat this as killing time—Ah, Sister Hill (/≧▽≦)/!”

At the end, seeing Brunhilde walking into the data room, Em stood up and rushed over!

Then Brunhilde grabbed Lightspeed's arm and threw him to the ground with a clean over-the-shoulder throw.

"Ah~~~~!"

The extremely ecstatic cry made Sieg's body tremble.

Obviously, Em is also a very beautiful woman in terms of appearance. Even if she is not as beautiful as Brunhilde, she is not much worse. But her personality and interests can really make people completely ignore all her advantages.

[Lord Sieg, could I take up some of your time? ]

Brunhilde asked this when she came to Sieg.

"What's matter?"

[I want to discuss something about exterminating dragons with Master Sieg]

Kill the dragon.

This word made Em serious. She climbed up from the ground using her hands and feet. After thinking for a while, she clapped her hands and said, "Ah~~~~ It's the usual [that], right? But you haven't done it yet? I thought you had already finished it, Sister Hill."

[Because I have been busy repairing the Clinshid in the past month, I only recently started calculating the plan through the Dragon Slayer System.]

Listening to the conversation between the two people, which seemed to assume that they knew the inside story, Sieg couldn't help but frowned: "What is [that]?"

[This is the exclusive growth route plan made by the Dragon Slayer System for each contractor]

Brunhilde explained.

[The Dragon Slayer System exists for dragon slayer, and is a system with dragon slayer as its core command. In order to help every contractor slayer dragons better, the Dragon Slayer System will customize a complete growth plan from scratch based on the contractor's actual situation.]

"Uh...like those books I read earlier?"

[Those are the trainings I think Sieg-sama needs to receive. Sieg-sama’s knowledge level is in a dangerous situation and needs to be improved immediately.]

[The growth plan customized by the Dragon Slayer System is more comprehensive, from basic knowledge level and combat techniques to special abilities calculated based on each person's characteristics. The Dragon Slayer System will develop a growth plan divided into several stages based on the premise of slaying dragons, so that the contractor can slay dragons better.]

[Now, the first phase of the plan has been completed. I hope Master Sieg can review it first.]

As Brunhilde spoke, she displayed a light curtain with a large amount of text densely written on it.

"Uh... In order to assist... the contractor in slaying the dragon... this plan was specially formulated... The first part of the plan... uh... how do you read the rest?"

Looking at the content, Sieg gave up after just a moment: "No, no, I can't understand it. Miss Brunhilde, you should dictate it."

"You are illiterate, can you do that?"

Em chuckled and patted Sieg's head. "Come, let me read it to you. This plan was specially formulated to assist the contractor in slaying the dragon. The details are as follows."

"First, since the contractor has basic magical abilities, he can be given basic magical education by the data manager, Em. The detailed standards will be set by Em himself."

"Secondly, since the contractor's weapon has excellent characteristics, but the workmanship is crude, it is recommended that it be sent to the weapons factory for reforging."

"Third, in order to improve the basic abilities of the contractors, a detailed training menu has been formulated. Please see the attached file for the content. Ah, let's talk about this later."

"Fourth, due to the serious lack of knowledge of the contractor, it is especially recommended that the contractor receive basic education first."

"Finally, based on the above four points, we can deduce that the following is the best solution...eh?"

After reading to the end, Em was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if she was a little surprised by what she saw. Her beautiful eyes looked at Brunhilde with astonishment: "Sister Hill, is the Dragon Slayer System... so cruel this time?"

[Yes, as you can see, Master Em, this is the best solution given by the Dragon Slayer System]

Brunhilde nodded.

Seeing the two of them start to speak in riddles again, Zigg tilted his head and said, "What's wrong with you? What's the best solution? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong... not really, it's just quite unexpected, and it seems a little hard for you to accept. There seem to be only a few precedents in the database."

There was something wrong with Em's expression.

Brunhilde explained to Sieg:

[Master Sieg, the final conclusion of the first phase of the growth plan formulated by the Dragon Slayer System is to let you be reborn once again.]

Zig: ".......what do you mean?"

17. It’s not time travel, it’s just living on a different planet

After repeated explanations from Brunhilde and Em, Sieg finally understood the meaning of "rebirth".

In simple terms, according to the calculations of the Dragon Slayer System, it would take a considerable amount of time to train Sieg to the level of knowledge of a normal person. Although it is never too late to start learning, Sieg has long passed the best school age, and it is not efficient to start learning now.

The results of the past month have proven this. Even though Sieg studied five cultural courses at the same time, he still couldn't memorize the multiplication table in a month.

This learning ability is really hard to praise.

In addition, Sieg does not have the most basic theoretical knowledge of magic, and has not received any systematic education in combat - it can be said that he needs re-education in all aspects. But the same thing goes, if he starts learning now, with Sieg's learning ability, the Dragon Slayer System calculates that it will take at least 20 years to complete the first stage, with no upper limit.

Therefore, the Dragon Slayer System is preparing to allow Sieg to be [reborn].

That is, through the individual time-reversal device on the Krinshid, while retaining some memories, the body can be regressed to the state of a child, and receive a complete education again from childhood.

“…Is it necessary to go to this extent?”

Zigg was a little dumbfounded.
