Chapter 2 – Cheat Knowledge That Makes You Stronger! ~Magic Edition~ Part Two

“TRANSLATOR: Anargya”

“EDITOR: GhostApe”

ーNow, I guess it’s time to get to the main thing: what should be done to make a Villager stronger……the first part that is.

 

Before that, I will have to explain the skill Wisdom first.

 

Skill: Wisdom

 

In this world, books can be ranked from E to S.

The skill Wisdom can be used to search and read all B rank books or lower inside my mind, and this is the cheat skill I had in my second life.

There are roughly two criteria for the ranking.

In some cases, the information itself is highly treasured, and in other cases, the information itself is dangerous.

While you can imagine how treasured some information is, supplementary explanation is needed for information that is dangerous itself.

 

As is often in spy movies, where you would be erased if you know too much…… It’s not dangerous in that sense, in this case, knowing itself is dangerous.

For example, a magic book itself has a magical effect, where the reader would be mentally polluted, or something in that sense……

 

And then, Skill: Wisdom can be used to read books up to rank B inside your mind, and the danger of it is completely eliminated.

At the time of the tutorial before, I worked hard and started reading books inside my mind in order to acquire various knowledge from when I was a toddler.

And at that time, the source book I used for knowledge was…… the kind of books that are forbidden in a moral sense, and the rank is B. The content of the writing is also radical, and the background of this book being written is also a little too heavy. Well, it’s put in the back of a magic school’s library…… so it wouldn’t be something that is allowed to be viewed without special permission.

First, let’s explain the background of the book.

To put it frankly, it was made by a group of magiciansーa clear record of human experiment.

And, the group of magicians is also a dark religious cult, and it seems like they were wonderful people.

Speaking on the contents of the book…… It will make an elegant aunt who is a PTA president knit her brows after a few lines of the wonderful contents in the book.

 

Well, a group of magicians that are a bit strange in the head, are doing human experiments without any restrictions…… Aside from moral implications of course, the academic value is high.

 

In the first place, the reason why the religious group was conducting human experiments…… Apparently, the emerging religious group is seriously studying for world conquest.

 

Conquer the world, conquer the world they say…… that makes me laugh a little.

 

So, the book states the methods and results of various experiments on human body modifications in order to train the strongest soldier.

 

That being said, the methods described in the books were about doping with the side effects, and fusion experiments of a human and a demon.

Even if I did become strong with this method, it doesn’t really mean anything if I got strong with that.

 

About temporary doping…… Well, even if they are planning to do it in a much more efficient and legitimate way in the future, I would like to pass on the opportunity in making my organs be torn apart as written in the book.

 

And, well, it just showed descriptions of used methods that could be ignored until……there is one section that caught my eye.

・About MP (Magic Power) expansion in early childhood

 

In order to explain this part properly, you must first understand the concept of soul and life energy that is related to the universeー…… Well, there are various things that will need to be explained.

However, if I explained it properly, it will be an extremely long explanation, so I will just explain the appropriate part of it.

 

To put it simply, the talent of a baby is amazing.

To the point that it’s ridiculous.

That’s all.

And if the explanation ends here, a riot is probably going to occur, so I’ll dig a little deeper and explain.

Even in modern Japan, children have a very strong spiritual intuition, like when they can see things that adults can’t see, so it is easier to imagine it because these stories are common.

 

Furthermore, the learning absorption rate of children is really ridiculous.

And here in a different world,  the concept of magic power literally exists.

So, what would happen if I used my magic power till the point of exhaustion…… I’ll say it in a more native way.

 

ーBaby, Magic Power, Absorption Rate, Really Extraordinary.

 

Anyway, that’s the gist of it.

 

So, in that sense, I have a huge advantage.

After all, normal babies don’t know how to use their magic power.

Well, if you are a genius born with the skill, you can use magic instinctively even when being a baby…… But even so, babies won’t use their MP till they are exhausted.

It’s because using magic until your magic power reaches zero is pretty dangerous.

 

Even on earth, if you exercise radically under low nutrition, a phenomenon called ‘Hungry Knock’ may occur, and your body may be completely immobilized due to lack of nutrition.

 

At a similar level, zero MP is a fairly dangerous state.

 

It may be just how a human’s body is made, as even adults will have muscle pain if they use muscles that they normally don’t use.

And, in the case of magic depletion, a level of headache that is not comparable to muscle pain will occur.

 

In fact, I am suffering from a terrible headache right now.

 

If I describe it as being swung at with a metal bat every few tens of seconds, you may be able to understand the pain to some extent.

 

I can withstand it because of the Skill: Indomitable, but it is still pretty tough.

 

That’s why at the time of the tutorial, I couldn’t use this method even though I knew about it.

 

No, I’d tried it several times to be exact, but it is not something that I could endure without any sort of skill.

 

Even if I can become stronger this way, who in the world is masochistic enough to willingly do a seppuku everyday.

 

Well, this method is at the level where…… It’s a pretty crazy special training method.

 

But…… I smiled.

 

This is why I am the only one who can use this method, even if it’s widespread in the world.

Infants won’t be able to endure the pain and train silently because even I, who has the memories of an adult, can’t tolerate the pain.

 

So no such thing is possible.

 

Even in my blurred vision dominated by headaches……I still have a smile on my face.

 

The domineering pain in my head means that my mana will expand without limit.

The more I grow, the less the pain of MP depletion will be.

Instead however, the MP expansion rate will decrease.

ーCertainly, I’m a villager.

However, as far as the MP expansion rate in childhood is concernedーI will reach the rate where it will be in the range of hundreds of times that of a normal person.

 

Hero, Sage, Saint, or even the Demon Kingーno one can match my magic point growth.

It’s a big head start.

 

Right now, I’m definitely the strongest 2-year-old in the world.

 

But……or so I thought.

Hero, Sage, Sword Saint, Phantom Thief, Holy Knight. 

They will soon close the gap, as set by the rules of this world.

 

After all, there are despairing differences in talent from the moment we are born.

 

No matter how hard an ordinary person trained, he will soon be caught up by a genius.

 

Maybe it means that there are limits to an ordinary person’s talent, or it is just an impossible feat to win against a genius.

 

No matter how hard you try, there are some peaks that you will never reach.

That is also a fact that I understand.

 

But……or so I thought.

 

ーIf that is how it is, before I am caught up……I’ll create a larger margin between us. A summit that is never reached by a villager……with an unusual way……I’ll be sure to climb and show it…

ーAnd two years have passed.

My 4th birthday.

I received a status plate from the city priest.

In Japan, I often read reincarnation web novels where you will get your status plates in some guild but…… In this world, everyone gets it from the church on their 4th birthday.

 

The numbers on the status plate are only visible to the person themselves, so I lied to my parents.

 

Of course I’ll do that.

If this was known, as expected it would be a little……attracting attention.

That’s right…… This is at the level where it would be ridiculous if it were known to the world.

 

After all, my status is as follows.
