I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’ Older Brother - CH 108

This is the magic explanation session.

“Gianluca. I will teach you how to run faster.”

“Cain? What is it?”

“When you kick the ground with your back foot, your heel, knee, and back should be straight.”

“What?”

“Bend your arms so that your elbows are at right angles and move them quickly back and forth. The faster you move your arms, the faster you move your legs.”

“Like, like this?”

“The foot that comes forward should be raised until the heel is at the same height as the knee of the kicking foot.”

“Uh-huh.”

Okay, dash!

With that, Cain ran off at full speed.

Gianluca ran out a moment later, and Julian followed them on foot, sighing heavily and shrugging his shoulders.

“Heels, knees, back straight, heels to knee level… straight, knees.”

Gianluca mumbled and ran to Cain, who was standing ahead, waiting.

“There is a theory, though, that running with a forward lean to eliminate aerodynamic drag and running with large thighs is faster. I think you can run faster and longer if you use the energy of your feet kicking the ground without wasting it.”

“Ha-ha-ha. Yes.”

Cain smiles and turns to Gianluca.

“Wasn’t it hard for you to pay attention to your posture and the movement of your feet?”

“It was, yes.”

“If you practice this repeatedly, you will be able to run with a fast running posture and foot movement without being focused on it.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“It’s the same principle with the magic spells.”

Julian caught up with us. He patted Gianluca on the back, who was still not fully breathing, and glanced at Cain with a wry smile on his face.

“Don’t make me run too fast. If you run without any preparation, you may hurt your legs. Don’t push Gianluca too hard.”

“I am sorry.”

Cain bowed his head.

“And? What do you mean it’s the same as a spell?”

“Well, you said yesterday that I could shorten the spell through repetitive practice, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I did. Spells are a procedure or a mindset for getting magic out of the body as magic. For example, with “Small flame,” you declare that you are going to use fire magic, and with “Out of my hand,” you specify that you are going to put it out at the tip of your hand, and with “Spread fire on the target I instruct you to burn,” you instruct that you are going to burn that thing.”

“The posture should be straight from the heel to the back, with the heel up to the knee of the kicking foot. Just as you can run faster if you can do this without being conscious of it, so can you do this without being conscious of it by putting the flame out from the tip of your hand and aiming it at the target you have placed in the center of your field of vision.”

“Yes, that’s right. Many people who originally have a single magical attribute seem to omit the first half. A wizard who can only produce flames does not need to declare that he uses flames.”

“I guess competent people have their own inconveniences.”

Cain shows only his right hand out of his sorcerer’s robe and sticks it straight out in front of him.

“A magician who can use multiple attributes cannot omit the declaration of attributes. However, if you make it a habit to hold out your hand and magic will appear in front of it, you can omit specifying the position of the magic’s appearance. As Julian said, if we make it a habit to set the target at the point where we look at, we can omit the indication of the target as well.”

As he said this, a small fireball appeared and disappeared just in front of Cain’s outstretched hand.

“Just now, I put out my hand and the magic came out without saying a word, right?”

Gianluca rolled his eyes, alternately comparing Cain’s fingertips and face. Julian was also rubbing his chin and tilting his head thoughtfully. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“If what you just described is true, doesn’t that mean you omitted the declaration of an attribute that shouldn’t be omitted?”

“Did it disappear as soon as you left because you didn’t specify the target??”

Cain withdrew his hands into his robes and changed his standing position to face them. Approaching Gianluca, he patted him gently on the head and smiled.

“You are correct, Master Gianluca. I put out the fire, but since I didn’t direct the target, it went out immediately. You understand very quickly. That’s wonderful.”

Cain pats Gianluca’s head and turns his face only to Julian, this time making a serious face.

“I will come back to your question, Mr. Julian. It’s a long story about “no-wing, no-chant. Now, let’s investigate. That’s what we’re here for.”

Returning his hand to pat Gianluca’s head, Cain clapped his hands and switched the subject. Gianluca looked a little disappointed.

“Julien. Look at this.”

Cain kicked the ground with his toe, digging a small hole. He crouched down, pointing his finger to draw Julian’s attention to the hole.

“I dug into the soil a little, but the magic circle line won’t disappear. That means it wasn’t written in ink or white stone dust on the soil.”

“I already know that much…”

“Let’s go with the basics. I’m new here.”

“It’s important to reconfirm.”

“Whose side is Gianluca on?”

The three of us squatted down and looked into the small hole Cain had dug. At the bottom is a piece of the magic circle that looked like a pentagram when seen from the sky. There is a white line running straight across the square.

Even where the hole is dug, the line is unbroken and the white line is drawn through the hole. Cain sticks his hand in and picks up the soil where the white line is drawn and lifts it up.

“If you take it outside the line, it’s just dirt,” he said.

Cain picks up the soil and drops it onto the palm of his other hand, but there is only regular brown soil on it.

Gianluca leaned forward and looked into Cain’s palm, poking it with his finger.

“I don’t feel bad about it, but I can’t say for sure since I can’t use either holy or dark magic…’

“I see.”

The three of us stood up and decided to go to the edge of the magic circle. Somehow, they walked in single file along the white line of the magic circle.

“The white line is the only safe zone. If you fall off the white line, the crocodiles will eat you to death!”

“What is Cain talking about?”

“That’s how it’s played. The magic circle is very large. It’s boring to just walk around.”

“Cain, what is a crocodile?”

“It’s an animal with a big mouth that swallows you whole in one gulp.”

“Scary.”

“Holy Crap.”

Cain suddenly stopped and lightly hit Julien on the shoulder, who was startled by the crocodile’s presence. Caught off guard, Julien staggered and put his left foot outside the white line.

“Yes, Master Julien has been eaten by the crocodile.”

“The crocodile ate him up. I’m sure I’ll take over your legacy, so please don’t worry about being eaten by the crocodile.”

“Oh my God! Let’s start! I haven’t said it yet, so it must be invalid! Start now! We are going to start now.”

The three of us moved to the edge of the magic circle, pushing, pulling, and running.
