"What a waste." I just keep thinking it's a waste.
Even if I can theoretically understand what's written in this magic book, I don't have the skills to activate it.
Even with several people working together, I don't have the confidence to activate this magic where one person's mistake leads to the failure of the magic.
But Oliver can activate it, and he has put in that much effort.
If he has that much skill,
"You can make use of the knight course people you're calling idiots, right?"
I can't do it now, though.
But, for example, what if we had Oliver's magic and Seesichkin's swordsmanship?
We wouldn't have to rely on magic like this that takes a dozen people to cast in order to defeat a dragon.
"Make use of...idiots...?"
Oliver wears a stunned, dumbfounded expression.
"I've never even thought about it..."
"Before you can activate the magic, you have to draw a magic circle and chant. That's how it is, right?"
"That's right. That's why magicians aren't suited for adventurers. They're called wimps who can't do anything alone."
Well, they can't do anything alone.
Even if their MP is high and their attack is excellent, their HP is low and they have paper armor.
"Wouldn't it be good to introduce a tank?"
"Tank...?"
What is a tank?
In RPGs, it refers to a role that mainly attracts the hate of enemy characters and becomes the party's shield.
Well, even if you say tank in one word, there are various types.
What the party wants is the above-mentioned tank, an attacker who is responsible for the main attack, and a healer.
If the aptitude of the Magic Department is attacker and healer, then the aptitude of the Knight Department is tank and attacker.
If these two departments teamed up, I think adventure would be much easier than it is now.
"Even if I concede that the Knight Department is useful, the Magic Department won't team up with them. We also don't want to team up with guys who don't know anything about magic. If someone who doesn't know magic charges in without thinking, it will only get in the way."
He's still just a bookworm.
"But."
When I turned my face to Oliver, who continued to say so, a hand was suddenly extended in front of me.
"If I'm teaming up with you, it's a different story. Once again, I'm Oliver Wood."
This time, I firmly grab the hand that was dodged that day.
"Rai Ortlnek. I'm not used to being called by my last name, so call me Rai."
"It's only because your story is beneficial to us in the Magic Department. Personally, academically, I'm interested in your story."
If I could make Oliver from the Magic Department think that way, it's enough.
Honestly, all I can do right now is study using magic books, or practice magic that I can do alone.
If Oliver cooperates in creating a party made up of the Knight Department and the Magic Department, there's nothing more to ask for.
Two people are better than one, and three or four people are better than two, because you can try more magic and attack patterns, and research will progress.
Speaking of research.
"Who is the teacher in Oliver's classroom?"
"Teacher? Well, there isn't a single teacher in charge. The teachers will talk about things that match their research."
"Isn't it a one-teacher system?"
"A one-teacher system!? That's too inefficient!! There are many different types of magic to learn in the Magic Department, so the teacher changes depending on the field of study."
In other words, it's the same as the form of junior high school, high school, or university lectures.
Of course, that would be better for learning specialized things in depth.
"In that case..., do you know how the cooperation system is in each field?"
"Cooperation system? No, I don't know how that is between the teachers..."
The existence of joint research is unknown... First of all, how do they develop new spells?
"If you're that worried about it, why don't you ask the teachers directly?"
"Unfortunately, I don't have any connections with the teachers of the Magic Department..."
Suddenly, a refreshing light blue flashed across my vision.
"Bertrand!!"
I instantly covered my mouth with my hand and blocked the words that followed, "Brother."
Because of that, I ended up calling Bertrand "Brother" without any honorifics, and Oliver's eyes widened in surprise.
"Te, teacher!!"
"...You're doing well. In light of that energy, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. What do you need?"
Unlike me, who almost treated him the same as I would in the royal palace, Bertrand is able to handle it properly.
However, the fact that there are more wrinkles on his forehead than usual probably means that he himself is enduring a lot.
"Also, I recognize you over there. You're participating in the lectures I'm in charge of, right?"
Saying that, Bertrand's gaze shifted from Oliver to me.
"And you are?"
"I, I'm Rai Ortlnek from the Knight Department."
"Rai... You have the same name as my brother. What year are you in?"
"Si, since today is my first day, I'm still in my first year."
"I see... Welcome."
Bertrand smiled lightly, in a way that only I, who had been with him for a long time, could understand.
"So, what do you need from me?"
