I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law - Chapter 64



64 – Cheon Oecheon

Although her behavior was pitiful, she was a genius.

Except for those chosen who were born under the protection of God, such as sorcerers or priests,

I heard that there were less than a hundred wizards who reached level 4 thirty years ago in the entire history of the continent.

Usually, if you only achieve level 3 in your 20s, you will be considered a genius, and if you master level 2, you will be considered a genius.

In this day and age, it is said that the number of people in their 20s who have achieved level 4 is counted on one hand across all continents.

And Olivia, with the sword of light shining in front of her, is one of them.

She bowed her head without hesitation and listened to her teachings even to me, a wizard of a lower level than her.

After listening to my crude explanation of plasma and her magnetic field, she created a lightsaber that looked like something out of a movie.

“This is truly the discovery of the century! Master! How on earth did you come to possess such knowledge!?”

After Olivia removed her Sword of Light from her hands, she praised me.

I scratched the back of my head sheepishly.

Only a few people know that I am from another world, and it is a top secret that only they should know.

“These are just hypotheses that I came up with as a thought experiment, but isn’t it really amazing that they are actually implemented?”

I stuttered and acted slyly.

Even though my acting skills were poor, Olivia believed me straight away.

“This is truly an event as big as the first time humans used magic! I’m itching to write my thesis right now!”

Olivia made a gesture as if she was about to run away.

“Uh…”

I reached out my hand in front of her, as if I was holding her with regret.

‘Tell me too…’

That’s what I thought deep down.

Inside my heart

‘It’s spicy….’

I thought.

Actually, even when I was in my late 20s, I still felt like I was a middle school student.

When I was in my mid-teens, I was also a man with the same dark history as Olivia.

The remnants of the Black Flame Dragon are still writhing in my chest.

‘But…’

It was awkward to even openly ask to learn lightsaber magic.

Olivia had already praised me, and the content of that praise was the source knowledge that created the lightsaber.

My worthless pride and the remaining second year of middle school are fighting hard in my heart.

“Why are you doing this?”

Whether I did it or not, Olivia tilts her head and asks me.

‘Thesis… It’s a thesis…’

At that moment, a good idea occurred to me.

“I will check to see if your theory is correct enough to publish a paper. Explain to me what you have realized.”

I put on a confident expression, thinking that it was a brilliant idea that would satisfy both my useless pride and my second year of middle school.

“Oh! That’s a really good suggestion! The teacher is even correcting this student’s impatient personality!”

I am ummm! He nodded solemnly.

In fact, it seemed like she actually wanted to pretend to be authoritative in such an unsightly way.

Is it because there has been no one who can truly say that he ‘taught’ them?

“Then, this disciple. I will tell you what I have learned, so please make corrections!”

When I nodded, she started explaining.

————————————————————- ————

3 Hours later, I regretted it.

“This is it. How do you feel?”

‘Yes. ‘I have no idea.’

Her lengthy explanation made me realize how much I was only superficially using magic.

Of course, she has a stronger otaku tendency than ordinary wizards, and I’ve already heard that she’s a professor-level talent.

This is probably not the general level.

Even taking that into account, the gap was so huge compared to my knowledge that I was confused.

Is this as if other people are studying college math, but I’m just testing my math skills by factoring factors alone?

In some ways, I think I am amazing.

Anyway, I had to decide here.

‘Should I honestly answer that I don’t know and learn from it?’

‘Or try bluffing again?’

After thinking for a moment, I decided to choose the former.

In the latter case, there was no way to learn how to use a lightsaber.

Her magic awakened my secondary power.

And if she taught me her magic, I had her skills to give back to her in my own way.

“Hmm… To be honest, I didn’t understand. I said it before, but my magic skills are poor compared to Olivia’s. And even my knowledge.”

Even though I told her honestly, Olivia grinned,

“You are so humble, Master! How can you reach level 3 without even this much basic knowledge!”

The word ‘basic knowledge’ turns into an arrow and gets stuck in my heart.

No, more than that.

“How did you know I had reached level 3?”

“hehehehe, you may not know it, but the master’s story has already spread throughout the royal capital! Dozens and hundreds of ice spears decorate the air! Bards have already made songs about the stories of adventurers who crossed the line of fire with the master! “

“Ah…”

I held my head.

It was probably Rishari’s doing.

Jespa was quiet, and Calia wasn’t that close to me.

‘What are dozens and hundreds…’

At best, if I create 4, all the magical power of the artifacts I have will be exhausted, and it is not even my true skill.

Without the dagger and the wolf magic stone, I am no different from a commoner man.

“Whew… Anyway, it’s true that I didn’t understand.”

When I spoke again with serious eyes, Olivia seemed to agree.

But there was another light of respect hidden in her eyes.

“You can come up with so many theories and use magic easily without even basic knowledge. Is that really the power of a sorcerer?”

“Uh, uh… That’s roughly it.”

“As expected, a talent made in heaven! This student has been given the undeserved title of genius many times since he was young, but his teacher can’t even compare to him!”

Olivia, who was looking at me with both her hands clasped and bright eyes, felt uncomfortable and slightly turned her head.

However, when she turned her head, at the end of my gaze, I saw Betty standing with a triumphant expression.

“Uh… Um. Anyway, could you tell me how to implement that lightsaber magic from a practical perspective, excluding principles as much as possible?”

“Light saber… It’s a government sword… I like it!”

I smiled and was filled with anticipation, like a child who got a good grade on a test and was promised a toy gift by his parents.

“I’ll adopt that name! I like it! It’s a name with resonance!”

But she says something different than I expected.

“No… Over there?”

————————————————————- ———————

“Umm.. It’s completely cold now…”

It’s been a week since I returned alive from the kidnapping incident.

I am currently walking down the royal road accompanied only by my personal butler, Carol.

Betty stayed by my side to protect me without getting tired, and even slept with me.

She wasn’t there today.

I was called to the academy closing ceremony.

She had finished all of her classes and was already on her own winter break, but the academy’s closing ceremony was set for a date.

Due to the characteristics of the Middle Ages, the academies that teenagers attended were in some ways similar to military academies, so the school rules were almost similar to military rules.

No matter how much Betty tried to stay away from me, she couldn’t resist it.

And today was the day I promised to have a drink with the adventurer team.

So now I was on my way to the best restaurant in the capital where I met Betty.

Originally, it was a high-end restaurant that only the royal family above the count could visit.

The Duke of Tyler and the Marquess of Anderson took great care of them.

Walking down the chilly street, I suddenly felt sore in my palms and looked down.

Even after using the potion, the burn marks have not fully healed yet.

The wound was inflicted just a few days ago while trying to cast the lightsaber magic taught to him by Olivia.

Even though she only pointed out practical points, implementing the lightsaber was not easy.

It boasted a level of difficulty that was completely different from the highest level of attack magic I could use, which was ice spear or fireball.

According to Olivia, she gave me an introduction to magic, saying that it would be easier to use if I understood the exact natural world and basic knowledge of magic.

In some ways, I realized as I read the book that my elf magic teacher was not a very good teacher for humans.

Elves are a race born with very sensitive magic sensitivity.

Human theories may be useless to them.

Even she is a professor in the human world.

Anyway, the more I read the primer, the more I realized how roughly I had been using magic.

And then I realized.

Light sabers are a level of magic that we cannot even dare to think of at our current level.

Olivia said that even if you think about it roughly, it could be at least level 5 magic or higher.

If lightsabers are recognized as level 5, Olivia would have become a rare genius who became a level 5 wizard in her 20s.

It is said that there were only two geniuses of that level in the entire history of the continent, so she would be the third.

Unique in the present era.

“Phew… Is this a thousand-out-cheon…”

I sighed softly and put my hands back into my pockets.

Finally, a familiar building comes into view.

‘It’s cold… Next time, let’s just get in the carriage.’

I felt like I was being too extravagant, so I decided to refuse and walked on foot to Carol, who had prepared a carriage.

But I went into the restaurant with the thought that I would have to be a little extravagant in the future.
