Teach me magic
Merlin, finally opening her eyes, shifted her gaze to Ha Joon.
She had just tried to read his magical capabilities, but instead received a massive feedback, a huge surge of magic energy completely over writing her.
"Are you okay? Say something, Merlin?" Ha Joon grabbed her by both her arms, his face only mare inches away from hers.
[She's fine, her body just needs time to accept the feedback]
'Eh? What are you talking about?'.
"T…traveler, where did you say you were from again?" Merlin asked, exhaustion clearly written on her face.
"Far away?... I really don't see how that is relevant right now." Ha Joon responded.
"Your body has a massive surge of magic energy, a hundred times more than anyone I have ever encountered. It's like, your body is constantly generating magical energy, and it can't run out, it's an endless pit." Merlin revealed.
Ha Joon stared.
"In other words…?"
"You're one of the few people, if not the only one with such a unique gift, not many people can boast about having an endless supply of magic energy, even I, the greatest mage in Camelot." Merlin stepped back a bit, her hand on her head as she went back to the shelf.
"Type shi." Ha Joon blurted out as he looked at his palm.
He remembered he had tried to use Fire manipulation and failed terribly. According to his system, it was because he lacked knowledge on how flames actually worked, but does that mean that if he was able to master it, he could be undisputed with it?
'System, is what she's saying correct?'.
[Yes it is. Must beings in this world are given magic circuits used to store magical energy. Each individual is gifted with a unique shape and size. You have been blessed by the goddess of death, hence you can tap directly into the magic of the world, and do not require any type of magic circuit]
'Goddess of death?'.
[Correct]
'This is the part where you explain, what does she have to do with this? Better still, there's a goddess of death involved with me?'.
[Correct, Upon your arrival to this world, she gave you her blessings, in exchange for an opportunity to observe you]
'Rewind!!! Pause! Hold it, what do you mean observe? And why is that a thing I'm just knowing about now?'.
[After your death, your soul should have been erased from the world, you were labeled a failed product by the other gods]
[But the goddess of death took it upon herself to make a bargain with you, in exchange for her to observe your every journey, she would bless your soul so you would be reincarnated]
'I don't remember ever accepting that'.
[That is because interactions with the goddess should not be remembered by all means]
Sigh!
'And you seriously waited this long to tell me? So I've been getting carried by the goddess of death all this while? I wasn't even soloing? Damn.'
Ha Joon sighed again, his eyes shifting to Merlin who had come to sit down near him again, this time with three books in her hand.
"What type of magic do you have?" She asked, her face almost beaming with excitement.
"My.. magic type?" Ha Joon asked back nervously.
"Yes, for example, I am a Mage class, so my magic is diverse. I can use elemental and other forms of magic, although that's only because I am one of the rare ones. Then we also have Artoria, who is a Warrior class, her magic is more on the combat side, we also have Assassin, Rider, Tanker, Ranger, Reaver".
She continued,
"Each one of these classes are known for their unique type of weapons or abilities that set them apart from the rest, so which one is yours? I thought this should be basic knowledge." She looked at him with confusion.
"I skipped a lot of classes." Ha Joon replied, immediately reaching out to his system.
'What's my class?'.
[The goddess of death's protection also blesses you with the opportunity to be of any classes, you do not have a main…]
"I don't have a main class, I can use all of them." Ha Joon said with courage.
Merlin went silent.
"I'm sorry, I think the surge of magic energy is still affecting, I could have sworn I heard you say you can use all the classes".
"Oh yeah that… yeah, I definitely said that." Ha Joon uttered, his pinky finger now in his ear.
"That shouldn't be possible, one individual is blessed with only one class, it's impossible to use all classes, that's just unheard of!" Merlin gestured.
Ha Joon, simply replied with a simple raise of his shoulder.
"You've got to be kidding me, I do not believe you. Let me see, yes! I want to see you use all the classes' abilities right before my eyes".
"I mean, I don't have any issues showing you, the problem here is, how exactly do I do that, when I can barely use magic?" He asked her, his head tilted to the side.
"If you can't use magic, then how did you know you could use the classes?" Merlin asked with a deadpanish look.
"Instinct?".
Merlin instantly smacked herself on the forehead.
[A new Side Quest has been issued.]
[Quest: 'Grow as a mage'.]
[Objective: Get Merlin to teach you more about magic and complete all classes.]
[Reward: A new skill 'Charm']
[Penalty: None].
'Ahh, I guess we are really doing this. Wait, come think of it, this might not be so bad. I'd get to spend time with a total beauty, while learning magic from the greatest magician to walk the earth, hell, I might even be strong enough to defeat that Mordred of a girl. I'm in!!!'.
Ha Joon jerked up from the bed, startling Merlin a bit.
He grabbed her hand and went down to his knees, his lips moving from her hand after giving her a kiss.
Merlin was still a bit surprised, trying to make out what was going on.
"Lady Merlin, it would be an honor to be your student. Please, teach me the way of magic, I promise you won't be disappointed, I will do my very best to be the best version of everything you'd teach me." So he says, his voice deep for no reason.
Merlin simply smiled at the dramatic act he had played for her.
"Having a student doesn't sound half bad, I hope you can handle a little bit of toughness." She muttered.
"I once gooned to a five second trailer of a Japanese lady in pantyhose, I believe I can endure anything".
"What is a goon?".
"Magical technique from my homeland".
