I Got a New Skill Every Time I Was Exiled, and After 100 Different Worlds, I Was Unmatched (WN)

r Tia nor I were actually bound by a contract, so we would be able to move independently and so it won’t matter.

 

 

(Ah, I see.
I’m relieved.
… So I should just keep on acting like I’m contracted to do this?)

 

 

(That’s a safe bet.
As far as I remember, there shouldn’t be any major incidents, but still, try to keep a low profile for a while.
At least, Don’t let your ‘master’ stand out too much that he is… taken in by the royal court.
If that happened, he would be separated from the rest of us.)

 

 

(Ah, I see! So the spirit magic I use is supposed to be Nash’s ability, and depending on its evaluation, it might keep me away from the academy.
Eeee, did I do it by any chance …?)

 

 

(… ring any bells?)

Tia’s ears dropped with an anxious look on her face, and I asked her, reluctantly.

“”

 

 

(When I made a contract with him, he asked me, “What can you do?” I used the magic of the six attributes as usual.
Then it became a serious thing…)

 

 

(Miguel was talking about something like that.
In this world, you can only use magic of the attribute that your contracted spirit has, so it would be a really big deal if you could use all the six attributes.)

 

 

(Hmmm, but that’s strange.)

 

 

(Is that so?)

 

 

Tia raised her eyebrows at my words, and I asked her once I had gotten back to my feet.
I couldn’t help but be curious about such a topic when I was about to leave.

 

 

(Of course it is, When I use spirit magic, I don’t make contracts each time, do I? I am able to use magic without hassle, so it can’t be “that type of world”1)

 

 

(Hmm? Then why do the children here make contracts with spirits?)

 

 

(That’s what I don’t understand.
A contract with a spirit makes it easier to draw out the power of the contracted spirit, but on the other hand, the contracted spirit will always suck out your mana, and it becomes difficult to borrow the power of other spirits.
So even if you make a contract with a spirit for some purpose, It’s not like you can’t use spirit magic without making a contract with one, so it’s unthinkable to have contracting with a spirit as the goal.)

 

 

(Then they can only use the power of the spirit they’ve contracted with.
…)

 

 

(That’s precisely because they have a contract with that spirit.
Since it consumes mana to maintain a contract and additional mana is needed to use the power of uncontracted spirits, perhaps they can’t meet the requirements to use spirit’s power? For example, if a spirit magic requires 10 mana to activate when there is no contract with anyone, the contracted spirit’s power can be used with 5 mana, but if you want to borrow power from a different spirit in that state, you need 20 mana.
However, if it is common sense here to have a contract with a spirit, the mana required to activate spirit magic is five, right? If they can’t even see any sign of activation even after pouring in double or triple the mana required, it’s quite possible that they came to the conclusion that you can’t use the spirit magic without having a contract with them)

(Ah, that again…)

 

 

I became speechless listening to Tia, the expert.
If it was true, … or maybe it was true, what a distorted tradition that has been passed down.

 

 

However, such was the way of the world.
It would be overwhelmingly difficult to overturn the common sense, “This is the way it has always been.” If there was one answer in front of you, no one would think, “What if there is another answer to that?”

 

 

(Hey, do you think I should point this out to him?)

 

 

(Seriously, please don’t do that.) I told Tia,

 

 

He would either be beaten as a heretic or celebrated as a wise man.
Either way, Nash’s future would be severely distorted and guaranteed to keep him away from the academy.

 

 

(…Well, you’re right.
I’ll hold out as long as I can)

 

 

(Really, please?)

 

 

I patted a disgruntled Tia on the head, and this time, I got up.
Then my eyes, now completely dark, caught a glimpse of Nash’s sleeping face with a happy look on his face.
…

 

 

(Hang in there.)

 

 

After muttering inwardly sympathetically, which I had somehow developed, I stealthily opened the window of the room and hurried out to the outside, where it had begun to brighten before I knew it.

Footnotes

“That type of world” probably refers to that space in the 3rd world where the sword of light was stored.
If you remember her magic was blocked off there.
I say “probably” as the author is pretty vague when saying “that type of world”.
I also verified it with other translators.
