Book 1: Chapter 6


    <strong>Grimoires</strong><strong> and Secret Magic Training</strong>


    Half a month has passed since I was reincarnated into this world.


    Ive been concealing my daily magic training sessions from Tina. It has also been part of my routine to sneak into my fathers study and read the stored grimoires.


    I wasnt prohibited from entering the study, so I guess its alright.


    Maybe its because of a Sages ability, or perhaps its a privilege for being reincarnated, but I can read the words of this world just fine.


    The sorcery books in my fathers study would be iprehensible for the original 5-year-old Halt, but because my profession is a Sage, I can understand what I read.


    Some books were written innguages even I cant read. There were some words that I can decipher, and I can slowly, little by little, grasp their meaning throughparison with other books.


    The other day, I finally finished reading a book cover to cover, and apparently, its an esoteric book written in <em>Ancient Runes</em> to boot.


    Im progressing!


    I was ecstatic when I realized Im growing up.


    Because the Evil God cursed me, my status got locked. And so, no matter how much I train, there will never be progress with my status. However, by studying, I can increase my wisdom and knowledge.


    The book I decided to read next is written in <em>Elvish</em>. However, since there is only one copy rted to this subject, it is very difficult to decipher.


    Ill probably get something if I ask my nanny, Tina, a half-Elf, to teach me something about it. But looking back, in this world, its highly unusual for children born in the human race to learn how to read <em>Elvish</em>.


    Even if its not as difficult as <em>Ancient Runes</em>, its still very hard for humans to understand thenguage of Elves.


    Thats why I gave up on asking Tina.


    When Im older, lets just use the excuse of interest in learning hernguage to ask Tina to teach me.


    Besides, there are a lot of other grimoires in Fathers study, so I dont really have to forcibly study Elvish right now.


    So, what am I gonna read today?


    There are hundreds of books stored in the study. And the me right now is interested in each and every one of them.


    As I was pondering on which one to choose, a book caught my eye.


    Oh, this is quite nostalgic <em>Fundamentals of Magic, </em>right<em>.</em>


    I remember when IHaltwas around four, Tina read this book aloud to me. Even if I reincarnated to this body when Halt was five years old, I do have memories of his life prior to the rebirth.


    Halt couldnt read this book at that time.


    Yeah, I can read this.


    The information in the book is a bit difficult toprehend, but I can read it somehow. Judging from its title, I thought its an introductory book to magic, but I was mistaken.


    Its pages exined in great detail the elements, or constituents, of magic in this world. Even as a Sage, I had difficulty understanding its contents.


    Tina was able to extract the most important information from this book, and she exined it in such a way that even a four-year-old could understand. Once again, Im amazed at Tinas ability.


    Because Tina read the book to me, somehow, the current me has a basis for my knowledge of magic.


    Apparently, there is a world of difference in ones future magical abilities based on whether they can read this book. Thats how important this book is.


    This books really amazing. Who in the world


    I became curious about the author. Thus, I looked at thest page.


    At that moment, I understood the reason behind her perfectprehension of the book, and why she could easily exin it so clearly that even a four-year-old could understand its contents.
