Becoming a magician in another world

"Ah, you said some boring things. By the way, how are your eyes and arms?"

After a while of bickering, the conversation turned to Sam's medical condition.

"Unfortunately, I still can't see or feel anything. It hasn't even been a day yet. There's nothing I can do."

It's inconvenient, but no problem.

The other eye can see, and the arm can be used even if it has no feeling because it can remember how to use it. If it is to fight a demon king like Lepsi again, it will be a great burden, but if it is the same opponent, it will not fall behind easily.

Sam, who has regained his original strength and skills and can use the magic inherited from Ur without any problems, feels proud.

"Although I knew there was a price to pay, I still let you use it. I'm sorry."

"This is not something Ur apologizes for."

“I know. But, even so, I still want to apologize for not being able to fight.”

"Even so, I don't need to apologize. I fought because I could. I knew it would cost me, and I paid for it myself. In fact, I couldn't have fought Lepsi. If I had hesitated to use a little strength, I would definitely not be here now."

Sam had no regrets at all.

On the other hand, if one does not fight because of fear of the cost, that person will be tortured by regret. No, there is no regret even when one dies.

I shudder to think of what happened after that.

Ur, Gunter, and His Majesty Clyde who were present would probably be killed by Lepsi. After that, Liz and her family members who lived in the capital would most likely die.

Well, Sam’s decision to fight Lepsi at that time was not wrong.

"——Is that so? Then I won't say anything."

"Yeah. That'll do."

"Well, I'll tell you what I didn't tell you."

"What didn't you tell me?"

"That's right. I kept it a secret from you. And that knowledge also omitted the knowledge of inherited magic that I gave you. However, considering what will happen in the future, it's better to know."

"what?"

I didn't expect that there were things deliberately omitted in the knowledge that Ur inherited.

At the same time, I know he’s definitely doing this for himself.

“Your [World Magic], which can be said to be a great magic, is called ‘Price Magic’.

"Price magic? How do you say that?"

This is the first time I've heard of this type of magic.

At least, I never heard of it once in the more than four years that I studied under Ur.

"That's what it means. Pay a price to use magic. Very simple, but powerful magic. Originally, we magicians use magic by consuming the magic power we have. Pay the price of magic to use magic. So, what do you think will happen if that price becomes higher?"

"...Well, you can use powerful magic."

"That's right. In the past, there was research on cost magic. However, I didn't get the content of that research. If you increase the cost, you can use powerful magic, but I don't want to pay the price myself. So what should I do? It's simple, just make someone who is not me pay the price."

"That is"

"——It's a forbidden technique."

"right"

Whenever and wherever there are people who hate taking risks themselves, they try to make others take risks.

Hearing such words, I really feel that human beings are cruel.

"The reason it is considered a forbidden technique is because it can force others to pay a price. More importantly, even if it is said to be powerful magic, it cannot exceed the boundaries of humans. After all, the magic used by humans is only known to humans."

"Huh? But what about me?"

Sam's doubts were reasonable.

As a human, Sam defeated the demon king with just one blow.

Although the opponent was an incomplete resurrection, the Sky Kingdom had been hiding the secret of the demon king for generations. Most importantly, Sam did not realize that the [World] he used was a cost magic.

Rather, I don't even know what mechanism to use.

Originally, Sam's skill was "Cut Things". Such a simple thing.

In short, it is something that is so simple and easy to understand, specifically used for cutting.

However, Sam can't use a sword. He can't use weapons or tools at all.

Therefore, it was decided to use the skill as a slash using magic.

The skill was improved to be easy to use, powerful, and sublimated into magic over time, which is [S ベテヲキリサクモノ].

It was powerful enough to massacre Aldo, the leader of the Najarian people, with a single blow.

But, [the world] is different. “The world] is different.

It was neither invented by Sam nor thought of by Ur.

The prospect of battle fell upon Sam's mind like a revelation.

At that time, I was fighting the Dragon King and risking my life—no, because I was on the verge of being killed, I used it without thinking. As a result, I succeeded in cutting off the Dragon King's wings.

However, it was not only Ur who knew there was a price to pay. The fighting dragon king also said "don't use" the nail and never used it.

(——Assuming I use cost magic, I feel its power is beyond the realm of humans)

"Yeah, you're another story. [ World ヲキリサクモノ] By paying a price, you can use a limited amount of power beyond your original power. I don't want to use it anymore, so I try not to think about it, but the magic is too strong as a price, and the price is small for the power."

"Yeah. I agree. If the price of being able to use that much power is that one eye and one arm are temporarily out of commission, I will definitely use them next time without hesitation."

"—I am too frightened to bear it."

"what?"

Ur looked directly at Sam.

Her eyes seemed to genuinely care about Sam.

"You really didn't pay the price? Did I pay in a place I couldn't sense before, for example, without knowing my life span?"

"That's... I don't know."

I was horrified by what Ur said.

(By the way, why do you think you only paid the price you can control? Lifespan is invisible, and you can't even feel it. I don't know what magic, talent, and sacrifice are.)

"So promise me, Sam. Never use [the world's things] again."

“——That is”

Sam couldn't reply.

If other demon kings appear as enemies, the common means are limited.

If you are afraid of the consequences and the loss of something important, it is better to sacrifice yourself.

"I know you're worried. So, I'll give you a solution. You'll be happy. After all, it's the magic of the elves." "——Elves!? Ur! Is there anyone who knows an elf?!"

Elf.

Although present like a fantasy representative, Sam has never been seen before.

Hearing that such elf magic could be taught, the heavy thoughts in my mind were blown away from somewhere.

"Ah, what a pity that he is a pervert."

But Sam's shoulders slumped when he heard his master's words.

"I see, it's this pervert. There are many perverts in this world."

“Ah, there are perversions everywhere.”

"Hahaha"

"Ahahahaha"
