5 04. A good man, the strongest




 Since you can't measure magic with pond water, I decided to use a stone next.

 A stone as big as my six-year-old head was prepared.
 The stone was placed on a platform at just the right height where you can reach out horizontally and touch it.

Well ...... father? Mother?

 Unlike earlier, when it was just a class, my father and mother were looking at me behind the stone, in what would have been a special seat in the theater, with their heads down.

"We've come to see Alec's big day.
"The sunny look is too good, it's just a measure of magic.
But Alec is measuring his magic for the first time. I want to see my child grow up, so I want to see him take his first steps properly.

 Your father, who is very direct in everything, and your mother, who has a good reason for doing so.
 Either way, they seem to be ready to watch the game.

Come on, let's see it, Alec.
"Hang in there, my Alec

 My parents' fervent gaze plus cheering.
 In resignation, I reached out and touched the stone.

 I did the same thing, poured my magic power into the stone and watched it change.

 Take a deep breath, pour the magic into it, and the next moment, it's gone.

Mm, it's gone.
You're gone.
"Same as before, Mr. Alec.

 Parents and Angers react to each other.
 I looked around to be sure, there's no rock anywhere.

What does this mean?

 My father asked his tutor.

'Yes, I believe that the baron's magic was so strong that he made the stone disappear as well as the water, yes.
Oh, that's Alec.
But it's troubling, because it gives me no idea how much magic Alec has.
"Hmmm. I know Alec is great, so I'd like to know how great he is.

 Your father said with a straight face.

"Is there any other way?
"Yes, no, not at all, yes.
Say it.
"Yes, you can use the gold, yes.

""Gold?"

 Your father, your mother, and Angier's voices overlapped.
 So that's how it is.

What's this all about?
Gold is the metal with the most stable properties. Gold is the most stable metal in terms of its properties. Moreover, unlike other metals, gold is flexible enough to endure many things. It is used to measure people with high magic power because it is hard to change and yet strong.

"Yes, yes, yes ......
What's up with that? Did Alec say something wrong?

 Father narrowed his eyes just a little bit as he asked the magical tutor with a bitter look on his face.

"Yes, I didn't tell the baronet about it, but I wondered how he knew about it, yes ......
"What's that? That's because it's Alec.

 That's not the reason, father.

"I should have more gold than that, shouldn't I? I guess it should be the same size as the stone I just saw.
"Yes, that's okay, yes.

 My father immediately ordered his servants to prepare the gold.
 The Duke of Carlisle's mansion is full of gold and silver treasures, and a mere bar of gold could be ready in a matter of minutes.

 It was placed on a table, just like the stone from earlier.

Are you sure this is correct?
"Yes, that's it, yes.

 The tutor nodded clearly.

'Yes, there is no one in the history of the world who cannot be identified by this, yes.
Okay. Alec, you have to try.
I understand.

 Father, mother, Angel, and the tutor, and more servants than before in the gold procurement.

 With the gallery growing even more, I put my hand to the gold.

 One deep breath--releasing the magic.

"Yikes!

 I heard a scream that did not belong to anyone.

 At the same time I suddenly covered my eyes with my hand.
 There was a rush of light, a golden light, bright as the sun.

What was this?
What happened?
"Dear Alec!

 A little later, I heard various voices.

 A little later, the light died down.

"You okay, Alec--Whoa!
What's wrong with you, father?
"There's no gold.
"Huh?

 Look at the platform in front of you, the gold has disappeared without a trace.



What does this mean?
"Yes, no, yes ......

 The tutor is speechless.

'You already have the answer, don't you?
"Hmm? What does that mean?
"Alec has also erased the gold. He has erased the gold, the most magic-resistant substance in existence. In other words--
You mean, the most powerful in the world!

 Father huffing and puffing, Mother smiling gently.
 No, it's ...... it's .......

 I couldn't say what it was about.
 I remember before my reincarnation, I am an SSS-rank, and I know that there was an option to become a god.

 The magic power of an SSS-ranked person might be comparable to that of a god, and I couldn't deny the phrase 'the world's strongest' right away.

"That's great, Alec-sama, the world's strongest.

 Even Angier got a glint in his eye and it was infuriating.

"Oh, yes,

 I remembered something.
 It happened so suddenly that I forgot about it, but I knew I had to do it.
 With that much, a lot of people could be helped.
 Don't leave it off.

 I close my eyes and feel the presence of gold in the air.
 The presence of gold that I just erased.

 I'll work the magic. Very simple, the magic you are asked to learn at the same time you check your magic.

 A spell that restores the last condition of what was altered during the witchcraft test.
 Then.

Sir Alec! The gold has returned - oh, could it be Alec?

 Angel, a smart girl, noticed that I was closing my eyes.

What! Oh! I'm really back, wow, really Alec!
That's amazing. I forget, but wouldn't it take twice as much magic to restore an altered object from the magic test to its previous state?
"Yes, that's right: ......, yes.

 The tutor becomes more and more speechless.
 Father, mother, Angers and the servants are all excited that I have returned the gold.

 Later, on your father's orders, the entire dukes' power was gathered to search the documents and archives.
 I found out that there was never before in history anything with such magical power to annihilate the gold.

 Not the most powerful in the world, but the most powerful ever.
 Your father was more and more delighted.
