Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

"Did he fail to answer the question that High Priest Mariana asked yesterday?"

"That won't do." Elizabeth shook her head, then put a hand on her daughter's shoulder and looked at Sanita inquiringly.

"Sanita, as the eldest sister here, you don't want to see your brother so decadent, right?"

"Yes... yes, mother." Sanita responded in a tangled manner, and then immediately expressed her doubts excitedly.

"Mother, how are you going to...uh, promote this method?"

"I plan to revise the royal curriculum and your magic training. Of course, there may also be some homework and exams."

"From now on, you will have two classes in the morning and afternoon from Monday to Thursday, and a full period of magic training on Friday morning. I have asked someone to approve a training place for you in the palace. You will go there to train when the time comes."

"As for the magic we train, it will no longer be simple [Water Creation] and [Paper Creation], but more practical magic, such as [Negative Energy Defense] and [Minor Injury Healing]?"

"I remember you guys wanted to learn a lot before?"

Elizabeth smiled and patted Sanita's shoulder, motioning for her daughter to sit down.

At this moment, Sanita's mind was almost turned into a mess, and she could only follow her mother's instructions blankly.

Homework and exams, no, how can you take an exam on magic?

"Okay, the curriculum reform will begin today. You should familiarize yourself with the situation first. I will come to inspect it this afternoon!"

Elizabeth said with a smile, then looked at Damian who was also confused and warned him before leaving.

"Especially you Damian. I want to check your grades first."

“Yes, yes, mother,” Damian responded subconsciously, but at this moment his mind was completely frozen.

No, how could the situation become like this?

When did these methods become proposed by the priests? Wasn’t it Karko that he talked about with his mother?

Why didn’t my mother say a word about Karl, but still checked on my academic progress?

Damian suddenly became more and more at a loss, but soon the meaningful looks from the people around him woke him up again.

Although everyone present didn't understand what was going on, from what Queen Elizabeth had just said, they could indeed discern a simple truth.

Because of the ignorance of some brats, Her Majesty the Queen has become dissatisfied!

Damian, you are the culprit of this matter!

Everyone glared at him.

Who wants to suffer when you can study easily?

For a moment, the basin that Damian tried so hard to move finally fell on his head.

The force was so great that even the young boy was confused.

Only Karl beside him seemed to be out of the matter.

Very good, classroom reform, goal achieved!

The girl firmly put a check mark on the plan in her mind.

Chapter 21 [Sleep]

Why, why did things turn out like this?

Damian kept drawing magic circles in the air with lifeless eyes.

At this time, everyone in the classroom dispersed from each other, with a distance of about one meter between them, and they were all practicing magic like Damian.

But unlike Damian, who was like an indecisive painter, acting intermittently, the others were much more decisive.

“【Light Spell】!”

Accompanied by a very melodious chant, a pale blue magic circle gradually unfolded in Corean's palm. The moment he finished chanting, the magic circle was completed.

A beam of light bloomed from the center of the magic circle.

This is the magic they are going to practice now.

[Defense against Evil] and [Light] are two first-tier magics that are only more difficult than [Water Creation] and [First-tier Paper Creation].

The former can be used to defend against mental attacks, while the latter, in addition to illumination, can also cause minor damage and blindness to negative energy races such as the undead.

The most important thing is that these two magic spells will not cause any unnecessary effects and are relatively simple, making them very suitable for practicing in the classroom.

After performing this magic, Corean turned to look at his youngest brother, the eight-year-old Fourth Prince, and began to explain to him the key points of outlining the magic circle and the tone of chanting.

Before long, the Fourth Prince's progress immediately caught up with Damian, who seemed to be possessed by the old man.

At this moment, in this magic classroom, compared to the ease of others, Damian seemed to be facing a problem of the century.

Others drew the magic circle in one go and recited the magic spell at the same time.

Only Damian was still struggling with the construction of the magic circle, and his slow movements finally aroused the dissatisfaction of Sanita beside him.

"Damian, Damian!"

"Can you hurry up?"

"Look how much time you wasted just drawing a magic circle!"

"Magic requires timing, timing!"

"We are magic chanters. We don't just need to draw the magic circle. We also need to chant. Chant. Language has power!"

The girl's angry voice echoed in the classroom. It was hard to imagine who could have made her like this.

Sanita was gritting her teeth as she looked at Damian. The expression on her face was far from enough to describe it.

In the royal classroom, because the progress of each princess and prince is different, when they study, in addition to the priests who serve as teachers to teach, the oldest children in the royal family will also help watch.

Previously, the eldest prince Caspond was in charge of teaching, but after Caspond left, this task was given to the brother and sister pair of Corean and Sanita.

At the beginning, Sanita wanted to make things difficult for Damian because of what had just happened.

But when she really came over to guide the other person in learning, he was instantly furious!

She just didn't understand why Damian's [Water Creation] and [First-Level Paper Creation] were working fine before, but why it became so difficult when he changed to a slightly more difficult magic?

Is there any big difference between these two magic circles?

No!

For a moment, Sanita even forgot that she was going to make things difficult for Damian.

Because of people like this, his daily training is just making things difficult for himself.

Faced with his sister's painful expression, Damian didn't know what to say for a moment.

For him, the magic circle is not so easy to construct.

This thing is like when you close your eyes and imagine a pattern. Many people cannot completely imagine the shape. Most people end up thinking of a white ball, and only a few people can barely outline it.

The magic circle exists like this. It doesn't mean that you just need to learn how to chant. You also need to use your magic power to outline the magic circle. The two need to cooperate with each other to successfully cast the magic.

Of course, you can also cancel the chanting through training, that is, make magic without chanting, but the magic circle is indispensable.

Even some magic skills are like external equipment for magic circles, which realize the functions of external devices by consuming a large amount of magic power.

However, the magic circle is not something that is too troublesome.

In fact, many magic casters only need to know how to draw and cast magic, because after they have become in tune with the world, most of them only need to familiarize themselves with the magic circle a few times, so that the next time they can successfully outline the existence of the magic circle based on their memory and a special feeling.

Even some powerful wizards who do not understand the knowledge about magic circles can create their own magic based on the other party's feelings when casting magic, or according to their own needs.

There is a slight difference between the two, between a technician trained through knowledge and a senior fitter who relies solely on experience.

Of course, a master fitter may also have a lot of knowledge, and the experience of a technician may not be inferior to that of a master fitter.

But Damian was different. Perhaps his previous setbacks in magic had affected his self-confidence. He found it difficult to determine whether he was right or wrong. He was hesitant at every step, so his learning efficiency was extremely low.

If it wasn't the eldest prince Caspond who taught him at the time, his magic level might not have been as high as it is now.

Although he only mastered some low-level magic, he felt that it was enough.

But who could have imagined that this would happen today!

Damian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He couldn't understand why he ended up like this.

Karl, who was standing by, saw Damian's expression and knew what he was thinking.

It's nothing more than why the situation has become like this.

In fact, Damian didn't even think about it. She was only six years old. Would her father and mother let her be hated by her other brothers and sisters?

will not.

So Carl wasn't worried about Damian telling on him from the beginning.

On the contrary, Damian himself is now the hardest working one in the entire classroom because of the fiefdom issue.

Although the Holy King as a father could cancel his son's appointment to the fiefdom, he had already labeled his son a doomed failure before he even put any pressure on him.

This is not how a father should behave.

At least wait until it's completely hopeless!

That's why today's ending happened. In order to take Damian's situation into consideration, Elizabeth even transferred and resolved some of the conflicts.

At least Sanita and Corean would definitely agree with this decision on the surface, and at most they would make things difficult for Damian.

This was much better than the situation that Karl had expected, where he would be at odds with the entire classroom.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but smile.

Coincidentally, Mariana's voice also came from the front.

"Your Highness Karko, based on your progress yesterday, most of what you need to learn today is life magic."

"Such as [Odorless], [Cleanliness], [Sleep], and [Water Creation]."

"Which one would you like to learn first, Your Highness Karko?"

Mariana asked with a smile.

At this time, the other princes and princesses in the classroom were practicing, and with the eldest princess and the second prince watching, she could naturally come over and teach His Highness Karko some simple magic.

She just wanted to see if the talent he had acquired in learning zero-level magic yesterday morning could still be effective in the first-level field.

Faced with Mariana's question, Karl naturally gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

“I want to learn about sleep first.”

Chapter 22: Magic Pattern? Modular!

【Sleep】

Simply put, it is a magic trick that helps people fall asleep quickly, and it is the best blessing for people with insomnia.

The advantage of this magic is that it can directly put people into a deep sleep, not only to obtain excellent sleep quality, but also to restore energy in a short time.

The casting of magic is very mentally taxing. If Karko wants to start her practice plan too early, then with her underdeveloped body, she might be too tired to sleep after just one morning of exercise.

It was just like before she was three years old, whenever she thought of something, her brain would immediately send out a warning, her eyelids would start to droop, and before long, she would fall into a deep sleep.

To be honest, she was very impressed by this incident.

In fact, the reason why she was so favored by the Holy King and the Queen was not only because she was the youngest child, but more because of her unusual sleeping hours when she was a child.

You should know that if a child does not have much activity in his daily life and is abnormally sleepy, it may mean that there is something wrong with his brain.

The Holy King and the Queen may not be aware of this, but the maids and officials around them are very clear about this.

Therefore, during that period, Karl was checked back and forth by the priests, and he would come for [minor injury healing] every few days.

The essence of [Healing Minor Injuries] is to allow mild positive energy with certain restorative properties to gradually heal the body's damage in a special way.

The principle is actually somewhat similar to Naruto's chakra stimulating human cells to enhance recovery ability, but positive energy is gentler than chakra, and is more like strengthening the logistical capabilities of cells, thereby greatly promoting a person's own recovery ability.

In other words, if your cells are relatively strong, like a lizardman in a swamp, even if your arm is cut off, you can still recover by using the magic [Heal Minor Injuries].

Because this kind of injury might really be considered a minor injury for the Lizardmen.

Well, the lizard man thing is still a bit outrageous. She must go and see it in person if she has the chance.

However, we can see from here the key point of [healing minor injuries], which is nourishment with positive energy.
