Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Qixing did not resist my patting of the head.

She took a deep breath and made a decision.

"go together."

"sure?"

"Well, actually, when I think about it, Orsted didn't seem to be hiding anything when we first met. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

"Then let's go together."

Qixing looked like she had made a great decision.

……

……

The appointed time arrived.

After leaving Ars City, Qixing and I headed for the agreed meeting place, only to find that Orsted was already waiting there.

Really punctual.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have heard some information related to the Great Transfer Incident, right?"

Orsted asked expressionlessly.

If we consider Qixing's guess, it gives people a feeling that the conspiracy is about to be exposed and he plans to kill people to silence them, but in fact he should just be simply curious.

After all, this is his first experience.

Qixing and I looked at each other.

Then, as agreed, Qixing explained the information he had collected about the major transfer incident over the past few days.

Orsted listened very carefully.

He nodded slightly from time to time and asked some questions from time to time.

By the time Qixing finished speaking, a full half hour had passed.

"There's no conclusive evidence."

Orsted sighed slightly. He did not find out the reason for the great transfer from this information.

Qixing took a deep breath.

"Mr. Orsted, regarding the Great Transfer Incident, can it be considered a relatively large-scale transfer magic?"

“…It’s hard to believe that.”

Orstead shook his head.

The Great Transfer Event is an undoubted magical disaster. If one were to artificially release magic of this scale, the amount of magic power required would be an astronomical figure.

Perhaps only Laplace is capable of doing this.

As long as Laplace is not resurrected, this possibility is almost zero.

Qixing continued to ask:

"I heard that transfer magic is considered taboo and is related to the authority in the field of transfer magic, the Armored Dragon King Pergius..."

"Perkius's skills in transfer magic are indeed very high, but he is not capable of doing something like this."

"Excuse me, is that Armored Dragon King considered one of your subordinates?"

"No, he and I..."

Having said this, Orsted paused.

"Let's just say we know each other."

Neither friend nor enemy.

It's just that we know each other.

"That's it."

Qixing relaxed a little.

"Um... although you've already helped us a lot, I'd still like to ask, if I tell you I want to learn transfer magic, will there be any problems?"

"Transfer magic?"

Orsted rubbed his chin.

"I do know how to use transfer magic, but this is my first time teaching someone else. If you insist on learning... no problem."

"Thank you so much!"

Qixing was very surprised.

Indeed, it went much more smoothly than expected.

Thinking back carefully, Mr. Orsted has always responded to all requests from me and Qixing, and has never refused.

Maybe he also has his own purpose and reasons.

But no matter what, this is a great favor.

And after Qixing finished speaking.

Orsted's eyes fell on me.

"You seem to have something to say."

I took a step forward.

"Mr. Orsted, is there any way to make me stronger?"

"Eh?"

Qixing was stunned for a moment.

Orsted looked thoughtful.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

"I just feel that if you don't even have the most basic self-protection ability in this world, you'll encounter difficulties no matter what you do, right? Besides, strength is something that is better than nothing."

That day in the alley.

Izuruti single-handedly defeated enemies several times her size and protected me.

I was really impressed by her elegant and relaxed posture.

Strength is indeed a very important thing.

From that moment on, I was determined to become stronger.

After all, I am not an intelligent character.

If you can't even handle small characters like street thugs, then what's the point of talking about unknown missions?

"But you don't have any magic power. If you want to become stronger, you might need to put in more effort than an ordinary person, and your achievements may not be that high. Even so, do you still want to become stronger?"

Orsted stated the harsh truth.

But I was pleasantly surprised.

"Is it really possible? Can I become stronger even without magic power?"

"The God of Skills Laplace doesn't have magic power either, but his strength is enough to rival that of the Demon God Laplace. To achieve this, he developed a certain technology. That's pretty much the concept."

"Please guide me!"

"Ah."

Orsted nodded nonchalantly.

……

……

From that day on.

Orsted became the teacher of Qixing and me.

During the day, they traveled together and explained various issues about transfer magic to Qixing.

At night, Nanahoshi would read books on transfer magic while I received swordsmanship instruction from Orstead.

Of course, it's swordsmanship instruction.

But the first step is to start with physical exercise.

"Your physical condition is too poor."

Orstead criticized me mercilessly.

"At the very least, you must be able to control your body freely. If you can't even do that, you won't be able to use your fighting spirit to strengthen your body."

"Let's start with some exercise."

Such a simple sentence.

This was the beginning of my miserable life.

During the day, he had to travel in all weathers, and at night he had to exercise by jumping around under Orsted's supervision.

Occasionally, he would drink strange potions that Orsted had taken out from nowhere, and eat all kinds of strange monster meat.

The very beginning period.

I was so tired that I foamed at the mouth almost every day.

The next day, I was so sore all over that I couldn't even get up.

Even so, I persevered.

If you want to tell me the reason.

On the one hand, it is to prepare for an unknown mission.

on the other hand……

Maybe it was because he was being watched by Qixing, and he didn't want to lose face in front of her. A man's pride...

But Orsted's training was indeed effective.

Three months have passed since I started exercising.

My body has become angular, with clear lines, muscles tightly attached to the bones, slender and full of explosive power.

From a modern perspective, he can beat 90% of the people in the gym.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After confirming that my body had reached the minimum standard, Orsted's guidance entered the second stage.

"Introduce the magic power within the magic crystal into the body. Instead of absorbing it, use it directly to strengthen the body."

"This is……"

"Mimicry Dou Qi."

Travel: 10. Labyrinth City Lapon

Orsted handed me a fist-sized magic crystal and explained it to me.

"Mimetic Dou Qi is a technique developed by people without magical powers in order to use Dou Qi."

"This method requires extremely high control over magic power. However, those without magic power cannot even begin to control it, so this step is extremely difficult."

"The God of Skills Laplace is a split form of the Dragon King Laplace. He retains some memories of his past when he possessed magic, so using magic in this way is not difficult for him."

"But you yourself have no magical powers."

"It is very difficult to master mimicry fighting spirit out of thin air."

"Even so, this is the only way."

Just as Orstead said.
