The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent (WN) Chapter 19

"It's 55."

Honestly, the reactions of all three returned to how they were before.

The Head Magician was smiling while frozen; Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama widened his eyes and the Director's jaw hung open.

Director, your face has become weird you know?

"Level…… 55……?"

The first person to start moving again was the Head Magician. He muttered to confirm.

When I nodded, he laughed, "Haha."

"It would certainly repel at that level."

"Your level was that high……?"

For some reason the Head Magician was laughing happily and the Director was looking at me in shock.

It's troubling even if you looked at me with those eyes.

It was originally like that.

"I see. That's troublesome."

The Head Magician didn't look troubled at all despite saying that.

I tilted my head and he scrunched his eyebrows as if troubled.

"If I can't do 『Appraisal』on you then we can only use the cla.s.sic way to confirm your status….."

"The cla.s.sic way?"

"Yes."

Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama heard that and got off the sofa.

He went to the desk in front of me, got a pen and paper and placed them in front of the Head Magician.

The Head Magician began explaining to the Director and me.

When a Mage couldn't perform appraisal on someone then that person would report their own status.

Of course, the Head Magician couldn't appraise everyone, so most of them used this method of confirmation.

Basically, everyone who worked at the Royal Palace had to fill out the report in advance.

Some skills and levels were needed to gain promotions, so some people exaggerated their statuses.

Suspicious people like that get surprise examinations to check to see if what they declared was true or false.

For magic skills, they would have to perform the level or attribute they declared in front of several examiners.

The current Head Magician didn't have to take any exams before becoming the Head because he could use the all-important appraisal magic.

I was a little worried so I asked:

"Would my status be available to the public?"

"No. It will be treated as confidential information."

It was the same as personal information in j.a.pan, but seeing Jude and the Knight's situations, the information didn't seem to be kept as confidential as declared.

The information would be treated as confidential according to the Head Magician.

It was, however, easy to get promoted even if you didn't reveal your valuable skills, because there was no shortage of people who would gossip at the Royal Palace.

"Is that so?"

I replied and looked at the paper once again.

Yup, what should I do?

It was probably better to write it down but……

The other three people didn't say a word because I was staring at the paper without moving.

The room where conversation had died, was silent.

I'd talked about such things with the Director on the way here, but I was still wavering.

If I wrote my status here then I could only act as a 【Saint】.

Then what if I wrote lies?

I'd heard some things about Jude's status, but I didn't know what the average status in this kingdom was.

If I wrote the wrong things, then someone could point out the faults.

"You don't feel like doing it?"

The Head Magician talked to me while I was worried over it.

I raised my face and looked at the Head Magician, who was smiling gently.

"It's fine if you don't want to."

Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama, who was sitting next to the Head Magician, widened his eyes in surprise at that single sentence.

I looked next to me and the Director's eyes had also widened.

"Is it fine?"

"I don't mind."

"Head Magician."

Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama said in a fl.u.s.tered voice, but the Head Magician did not withdraw his statement.

According to him, even if they forced me to report my status, they wouldn't try to confirm my status.

Even if that was true, was it really fine?

Both Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama and the Director had the same looks on their faces, so it couldn't be good.

I suspected that it was possible to investigate magic skill to a certain degree, so would it really be fine?

I didn't say it out loud, but I looked dubiously at the Head Magician and he smiled a little.

"Instead, can you show me what you look like when you use magic?"

Ah, so he was going to confirm my magic skill.

A lot of people at the hospital had already witnessed my magic, so if it was just that much then it was fine.

I nodded and he said, "Well then……" and explained the procedure.

The magic I was using this time was the same one I used at the hospital, 『Heal』.

No one was injured in this room, but it worked on healthy people too.

But was 『Heal』really fine?

This was the first holy magic that I learned.

The power increases if the level of holy attribute magic increases, you know?

When it was used on a healthy person, it was difficult to determine the effects with neither a base value nor previous result so it was difficult to determine the status level.

"Will you confirm my holy attribute magic level with 『Heal』?"

"No, I want to confirm something else."

It was strange so I asked, but the thing he was checking wasn't my level.

Did he want to see the differences when someone summoned from another world used magic and when someone from this world used magic?

Was there even any difference?

I'd seen Jude use his magic before, but water magic and holy magic were just too dissimilar.

Unfortunately, I'd never seen anyone else using holy magic.

I wanted to ask if I could see other people of this kingdom using it, but I couldn't necessarily say it myself because they would guess what I was up to.

Even without seeing other people use holy magic, I was still reluctant to write my status down.

I thought about various things but no answer came to me.

Well, in the worst case scenario where there's a remarkable difference, I could just smooth it over by blaming the fact that I'm from another world or say that my level was high.

Thinking this, I obediently used magic.

I concentrated on casting magic.

They didn't specify a target so I cast it on myself.

Then I activated 『Heal』, and my whole body was covered in a thin white haze.

Golden lamé shone beautifully inside of the white haze as always.

"That's……"

I heard a small mutter, looked up, and saw that Intelligent Gla.s.ses-sama had his eyes wide open in surprise.

Ah, there really was something different, wasn't there?

I looked at the other two and the Head Magician's eyes were s.h.i.+ning, while the Director…… looked the same as he always did.

I didn't think that there was anything to be worried about, so I stared strangely at the Head Magician and Intelligent Gla.s.ses's sama's reactions.

"Is there a difference?"

I asked and the Head Magician nodded in excitement.

"Yes. Look here."

He said, and cast 『Heal』.

He cast it on himself, like I had, and his body glowed white.

He asked me after the lights had faded, "Do you understand?" But I couldn't see what was different.

I tilted my head and he once again cast 『Heal』.

The Head Magician's body glowed white again but…… Huh?

Something suddenly bothered me, and I also cast 『Heal』on myself.

It shone white in the same way, but mine had golden particles mixed in.

"Do you see it now?"

"Yes."

According the Head Magician, a rumour spread about my magic being different from others while I was treating the 2nd and 3rd Knight Orders.

When other mages casted heal it only glowed white, like it did with the Head Magician's. No one's light was intertwined with lamé.

It seemed that the spell attribute was visible once activated.

This white light was the magic power of holy magic. Other attributes had different colours representing them.

Usually people could not see magic power without training their perception.

The Head Magician said that he didn't know how I could see it. It could be because I was from another world, or the reason could be something else altogether.

Since he was telling me all this, has he not confirmed Aira's status yet? I thought and asked.

"Not yet," was the reply.

If so, I wanted to know the results of her appraisal once they were over, but it was confidential information so they wouldn't tell me.

The cause of the lamé, however, came from me, so they told me as soon as they discovered it.

Therefore I found out that my magic was different from the magic of those in this kingdom.

It was probably because I was summoned, in addition to this and that.

I finally understood the cause of my accursed 50% increase.

Come to think of it, the curse mostly affected things that had to do with my magic…… I sighed inside my mind when I realised that.
