A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 123: Infinite Magic

It reminded him of a certain blue robotic cat from a children’s show, but nothing that came out of the bag was that futuristic.

"I’m glad it could help you," Solinos said with relief. "We also put some weapons inside for self-defense. But later I realized they might be too heavy or difficult for you to use... I’m sorry about that."

Qiong Xing felt like the topic had been slightly changed on purpose, but seeing Solinos apologize so sincerely made him forget about it.

"It’s fine. Really. Thank you," Qiong Xing said while smiling gently.

Solinos nodded.

"How was magic?" Lunios asked. "It didn’t exist in your previous world, but once you get used to it, your daily life should become much easier, right?"

"...Ah."

Qiong Xing had completely forgotten.

He had planned to learn from Albe together with Cari, but he had been worried about whether he even had any talent for it.

"I’m sorry. I’m still hasn’t used it yet," Qiong Xing admitted honestly. "Actually... can I even use magic? I don’t have a staff or anything like that."

Qiong Xing still could not truly feel that he was a magician.

In his mind, when he thought of a "magic user," he only imagined an old woman with white hair, wearing a pointed hat while stirring a pot filled with liquid in a poisonous color.

As I thought...

"You can use it," Solinos said.

Actually, we made it so you can.

"Among humans, only a few can use magic. But Qiong Xing can use all attributes."

"Attributes?"

"I explained this before, but magic has the four main elements: fire, water, earth, and wind. Of course, fire controls flames. Water can create water even in places where there is no source. So even in the worst case... though I hope that never happens... you could live even in a place with nothing."

What a convenient gift they had given him.

People say that as long as a human has water, they can survive for a while.

Not having to worry about water was truly reassuring.

With this, even if something terrible happened, he would not let Cari and the others die.

"There are also dark magic and holy magic, but we can talk about those later."

It seemed they would continue to teach him many things in the future.

Feeling grateful, Qiong Xing asked how he was supposed to actually use magic.

However...

"Just focus your mind," Solinos said. "Basic magic is about turning your thoughts into reality. You imagine what you want to happen and your magic power takes shape."

Was it really that simple?

Was it okay for something so powerful to be that easy?

"It sounds simple," Solinos continued, "but everyone thinks and feels differently. Not everyone can do it. And without magic power, it is impossible. So only a limited number of people can use it."

So not all humans could use magic.

When Qiong Xing mentioned that none of the beastmen like Joa seemed to use magic, Solinos explained that beastmen did not have magic power.

Instead, their physical strength and combat ability were extremely high.

On the other hand, demons like Albe and Cari did not look very different from humans.

But because they had high magic power, they could make up for everything with it.

Hearing all this, Qiong Xing realized just how weak humans were compared to other races.

And yet, many humans still acted arrogant and proud.

That surprised him.

"Some humans can use magic," Solinos said, "but they can never defeat demons who were born specialized in magic."

Then would that mean he also could not compete?

Apparently not.

Thanks to a blessing from the God, things were different for him.

"We made it so that Qiong Xing won’t have any trouble. So we set your magic power to infinity!"

"...What?"

Wasn’t that a little too much?

What did they make it infinite? His magic power?

"What... does that mean?"

Qiong Xing could tell that it was something unusual, but he did not fully understand what it would actually cause.

"When people exercise, they use stamina, right? It is the same thing. To use magic, you consume magic power. But that power is not endless. Just like someone who runs too much will run out of breath, a person who uses too much magic will eventually run out of magic power. When that happens, they suffer from magic exhaustion. If the one using magic is a demon, their body functions may stop and it could even lead to death."

"...So in other words, since my magic power is infinite, I do not have such limits. I can use magic whenever I want and as much as I want."

Magic power normally should not exist in that form and even if it did, it would always be limited. Yet for Qiong Xing’s sake, they had removed that limit completely.

"Is that really alright? Giving me such special treatment?"

"As for that, this one did it on his own. So you do not need to worry about it. If anything, it would help if you make good use of it." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It would also help me, anyway.

As he said this, the one called "this one" was pointed at.

Lunios immediately puffed up his cheeks in annoyance.

"But! I only did it so Qiong Xing would not end up in danger. And Solinos, you did not object either!"

"I never said I blamed you, did I? I only told Qiong Xing to not worry about it."

"Muu~~!"

It was true that he never clearly said it was Lunios’s fault.

But the way he said it certainly sounded like he was blaming him.

"Please stop there," Qiong Xing said gently. "It is alright. I am very happy that you thought about me that much."

He wondered if it was really alright for him alone to receive such treatment. But when he realized that they had only done it out of concern for his safety, he could only feel grateful.
