21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 257 - 254: Stay Behind

Upon realizing he had absolutely no talent in this area, Kube Rokuro fell into a deep depression, deeply struck by the blow.

There was nothing more depressing than having the wondrous magic laid out in front of him, with others willing to teach, yet being unable to learn.

Kube Rokuro had once been full of youthful fantasies, imagining himself as a powerful mage while playing games, and now the chance to become a mage was right in front of him. He didn’t even need to make much effort, merely needing to reach out his hand to grasp this opportunity.

But the words "no talent" had hit him hard, making it painful for him to breathe! Could there be anything in the world more heart-wrenching and distressing?

Seeing Kube Rokuro look as if life had lost all joy and hope, Chen Yu sighed helplessly and then shook his head, saying to him, "Don’t be so disgraceful. Turn around and I’ll make a spellbook for you. Although it can’t make you a real mage, as long as you persist in meditation, training your perception and spirit, you can still release a few spells with the help of the spellbook.

With some luck, you might even learn one or two."

"Really?" Rokuro’s eyes lit up upon hearing Chen Yu say this, as if... he were a puppy lured by a meaty bone, nearly wagging his tail.

"I can’t let you call me ’senior brother’ for so many years for nothing," Chen Yu said with resignation, looking at Kube Rokuro. For him, creating a spellbook that could release a few simple spells was not difficult, and even endowing it with greater power was no problem.

However, considering that Rokuro lacked the talent, he decided to control the spellbook’s power within the capabilities of an official-level superhuman.

It would be enough for self-protection, but also not bring too much trouble to Kube Rokuro, and prevent him from having some unnecessary thoughts.

"Thank you, Brother Yu!" Kube Rokuro thanked Chen Yu excitedly. It was a pity that he couldn’t become a real mage, but to obtain a curio that could release spells was indeed a joy.

Standing to the side, Misumi Mikoto looked at Rokuro’s excited expression and couldn’t help but ask Chen Yu, "Teacher, when will you officially start teaching me magic?"

"After you’ve formally entered the door. Necromancy requires negative energy to be activated, so before you’ve completely mastered the meditation technique, forget about these things," Chen Yu looked at the curious Misumi Mikoto and patiently instructed her, "What you need to do now is use the meditation technique to train your spirit and perception.

Once you can handle negative energy and have mastered the basic knowledge I am going to teach you, I will begin to teach you spells.

Moreover, I hope you understand, Meiqin, that for a mage, knowledge is what we should pursue. Novel spells and powerful forces are but byproducts gained on the path of seeking knowledge. Only knowledge and wisdom are the strong foundations of a mage, and this is true for any occupation within the realm of mages."

"I got it, teacher!" Reprimanded by Chen Yu, Misumi Mikoto felt somewhat embarrassed, seeming to have gotten carried away in the face of the miraculous existence of magic, which made her feel embarrassed.

Chen Yu didn’t mind, for after obtaining the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" from an unpleasant event he didn’t like to recall, his own behavior was not much better than Misumi Mikoto’s. He had been eager to learn powerful spells to show off and stand out, even considered secretly controlling some wealthy and powerful individuals and becoming a "Dark Godfather"....

The curiosity of humans towards the mysterious and unknown, as well as the impulse to show off like animals displaying feathers during mating, is innate. We can suppress it with reason and intelligence, but we cannot eradicate it unless we are able to elevate our own life to a higher plane.

Recalling his former foolishness, Chen Yu shook his head slightly in embarrassment. Fortunately, no one knew about these things, and I must never tell anyone, not even Hiromi, or she would laugh at me for the rest of my life.

As Chen Yu was pondering these thoughts, the tightly closed door reopened, and Dr. Nakado walked out from inside.

He looked somewhat haggard, with fresh tear tracks on his face, and beyond that, Chen Yu could sense a kind of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.

"The candle is almost burnt out..." Dr. Nakado looked towards Chen Yu, unsure of what to say. Having just spoken with his deceased lover and resolving his long-standing emotional wounds, he was at a moment of turmoil inside. He didn’t know what to say to Chen Yu, only able to say to him softly, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome, it’s what you deserved," Chen Yu replied with a smile on his face after looking at the brand on the back of his hand, and then he led Misumi Mikoto and Kube Rokuro back into the room.

Seeing Kojiya Yukiko still standing within the ritual magic circle, Misumi Mikoto couldn’t help but ask Chen Yu, "Teacher, how do we end this ritual? And what about Dr. Nakado’s lover... can she stay? Or should we send her to the next life?"

Hearing Misumi Mikoto’s question, Dr. Nakado, who had just come to terms with his past, suddenly displayed a nervous expression. Of course, he hoped his lover could stay, but as a second choice, he could accept sending her to the next life. Aside from these two options, he feared the separation between life and death, where she could neither be with him nor move on to the next life.

And hearing Misumi Mikoto speak, Kojiya Yukiko standing within the ritual magic circle also became anxious. Although she had just said goodbye to Dr. Nakado, hoping he could start a new life, if given the choice, she still wanted to be with him, especially knowing he had spent a hundred years to see her one last time. Kojiya Yukiko very much wanted to accompany him through these long years.

"What do you think should be done, Meiqin? However, I remind you, no matter what choice you make, this time I will only tell you how, but you will have to do it yourself," Chen Yu said with a slight upturn of his lips as he looked towards Misumi Mikoto, asking her.

"Me do it?" Misumi Mikoto was taken aback, but looking at Dr. Nakado and Kojiya Yukiko in the magic circle, as well as Chen Yu and Kube Rokuro who were also looking at her, she swallowed hard before tentatively asking, "Then what should I do? I mean, if I want to let Dr. Nakado’s lover stay..."
