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

Damian realized something immediately, but it was too late.

"Your Highness Damian, and...Your Highness Karko, please stand up."

Mariana came up to the two of them and spoke first, then turned to look at the fat second son of the Earl standing beside her.

At this moment, a look of despair appeared on the little fat boy's face.

"Mr. Spa, you are to stand outside as a punishment."

At this moment, everyone in the classroom couldn't help but laugh. This was a familiar scene, and they didn't know what was going on.

Spa walked out of the classroom dejectedly.

Mariana looked at Karko and Damian.

"Your Highnesses, may I ask what I just said?"

Damian opened his mouth with a look of despair. He was so excited just now that how could he concentrate on listening to the class?

But I didn't expect that at this moment a high-pitched and slightly gentle voice sounded in my ears.

"Magic enhancement, by consuming magic power or skills acquired through long-term training to give or strengthen a certain effect of magic."

Damian nodded dumbly. At this moment, he understood for the first time what a backstab was.

"Very good, Damian, tell me how many types of magical enhancement there are."

"Ah... magic... magic without chanting, magic is the most powerful, and... and..."

Damian opened his mouth, stammering and unable to say anything, and finally subconsciously looked at Karko.

And Mariana also looked at Karko with interest.

At this moment, Karl's expression was indifferent, like a machine that could only answer.

"There are also [Magic Resistance Breakthrough Enhancement], [Magic Double/Triple], [Magic Range Effect Expansion], [Magic Distance Extension], [Magic Delay], [Magic Level Improvement], and [Magic Ascension]."

When talking about the last two, Karko's expression was obviously different.

These are also the magic enhancements currently known to mankind.

Among them, only the magic without chanting does not require the consumption of extra magic power and can be obtained through training. The others require the consumption of additional magic power.

Mariana nodded with satisfaction, even surprise, and continued to ask as if she wanted to give it a try.

"So what's the difference between [Magic Rank Upgrade] and [Magic Ascension]?"

At this moment, Karl looked at Mariana subconsciously, and then he spoke slowly.

"[Magic Rank Upgrade] can upgrade the rank of low-level magic, making the magic more powerful, but the upgraded rank cannot exceed the level of the caster."

"And [Magic Ascension] can use higher-level magic that is otherwise unusable by consuming a large amount of magic power."

It is also the only way for people in this world to advance when they do not know high-level magic.

Damian looked at Karko with a surprised expression at this moment. He dared to guarantee that Mariana definitely did not tell him this knowledge today.

How did Karl know?

For a moment, a feeling of admiration arose, but it was immediately interrupted.

"Very good, very good. Your Highness Karko, you can sit down, but remember to choose a good seat next time."

Mariana even clapped softly for Karl, and for a while, scattered applause broke out in the classroom.

After the applause died down, Mariana looked at Damian.

Although the other person was still smiling, Damian inexplicably felt that the smile was fake.

"Your Highness Damian, please perform a magic enhancement for everyone to see."

At this moment, the poor student who had not yet finished learning the first-level magic was pointing at himself blankly.

"Ah, I'll perform it?"

Chapter 10 You thought this was the end

As it turns out, if Damian knew the techniques to enhance magic, he wouldn't have taken him six years to complete learning the first level of magic.

Not long after, our great third prince went out and stood outside the classroom door with his poor companion, Spa Spencer. After both of their calves were trembling, today's class finally came to an end.

After packing up her things, High Priest Mariana came out and looked meaningfully at the two door gods outside the classroom, then extended her hand.

【Group Minor Injury Healing】

A turquoise light bloomed on the two of them.

Damian and the chubby Spa immediately felt that their waists and legs were no longer sore, and they could even stand for the whole afternoon!

Of course the last one is not necessary.

Under Mariana's gaze, Damian tremblingly stood up with his tutor Spa.

Just by looking at his posture, I know that he probably has something else to tell me. I hope it's not a punishment like standing in the corner.

I'm already honest, please let me go.

Mariana looked at the two of them and felt amused, but she still tried to speak in a serious tone.

"Your Highness Damian, and Mr. Spa, I hope you can learn from this and not do similar things in class in the future."

"Especially you, Lord Damian. Lord Spa is a magic caster of the magic power department. There is not much he can learn in the classroom, so sometimes it is understandable, but it is different for you."

"In a few years, Lord Damian, you will be assigned to a fiefdom. Do you want to stay at the first rank forever?"

Mariana stared at Damian with sharp eyes.

One of the implicit standards for nobles who can take positions in the Holy Kingdom now is that they must have faith in magic of at least the second level, because this knowledge is the foundation among nobles. If you can't even meet this requirement, then what is the difference between you and the common people?

For a moment, Damian lowered his head and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Mariana shook her head and slowly left.

After the high priest walked away, people in the classroom came out one after another. Most of them looked frightened and began to comfort Damian.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the priest teachers would not be too strict with the royal members.

After all, they still have to dine in the royal family, and sometimes it is not a good thing to have a bad relationship with the royal family members, so the punishment is mostly to make them sit in the last row to avoid affecting others.

It's rare to see people standing outside for a whole morning like today.

But considering the identity of High Priestess Mariana, everyone felt that this might become the norm in the future.

For a moment, except for some serious and studious people, everyone felt insecure. After comforting Damian, they immediately turned around and left.

After almost everyone had left, Karko slowly walked out.

She first glanced in the direction where High Priest Mariana left, then looked at Damian and asked curiously.

"What's going on? Why are you going to the fiefdom in a few years?"

This was a strange thing for Karko, as she thought her brother would be kept in the royal court by her father.

Because only princes with outstanding talents will be sent away.

To put it bluntly, six years of hesitating at the first level might be normal for ordinary people, but it is actually a bit slow for the royal education environment.

What's more, Damian has not yet learned the most important magic in the first level.

【Minor injuries cured】

This thing can save your life.

Especially for the prince who is released to the outside world.

Due to years of sub-human invasions, most of the Holy Kingdom's land is in the hands of the Holy King, and the path of centralization has basically been completed.

Among these lands, most were concentrated along the Eastern Great Wall. Only there would be occasional invasions of sub-humans, resulting in vacant territories.

Only by sending a capable prince can that place be defended. Without the ability, losing the territory is a small matter, but affecting the front and rear is a big deal.

Karko suddenly thought of something and looked at Damian suspiciously.

"You didn't ask to go, did you?"

Damian's mouth suddenly shrank into a cross, and he stammered and couldn't say a word.

But with his attitude, Karl knew the answer.

"You are amazing, Damian."

Karl didn't know what to say for a moment.

Damian has been hanging out with her for a long time, so how could he not know that she always wanted to become an adventurer and go abroad?

Unexpectedly, she hadn't even stepped out of the palace yet, and her friend was fooled by her.

Look at what this has caused.

"Well, can you regret it?" Karl asked.

Damian kept shaking his head. He had put in a lot of effort to get his father to agree to this matter. If he went back on his word now, his father would probably chop him to pieces.

"Then you will train with me from now on."

Karl looked as if he had expected this and shook his head helplessly.

Damian obviously knew what to say and what not to say at this time, but he still had a big question.

"Well, can I keep up with the training I'm doing now?" Damian said timidly.

"Don't worry, trust me." Karko patted Damian's shoulder confidently. "How many times a day can you practice magic by yourself?"

"We supervise each other and strive to do at least two hours a day. Isn't one day equivalent to the ten days you had before?"

For a moment, Damian lowered his head in pain.

Two hours a day, he must be exhausted!

Karko looked at Damian with a smile, as if he didn't see the expression on the other's face at all.

If she wasn't still young, it wouldn't be just two hours of training.

In this world, if you want to improve your magical power, there is no such thing as meditation as in novels, all you have to do is practice.

Just like in Harry Potter, keep practicing and become familiar with this magic.

The body will become healthier after a long period of exercise, and magic power will slowly increase through constant consumption and replenishment.

This is the law of 'upgrade' in this world.

A very simple and intuitive method.

Therefore, there are many people like Damian who have studied for six years and still remain at the first level.

What's more, when you cast magic, you become in harmony with the world, and if you do it too many times, your spirit will become tired. It is not so easy to persist.

To be honest, how many children can endure this boring training at the age of six?

This is why there is a higher probability of talented people emerging among adventurers.

Fighting is often the most common way to screen talents.

But Damian was obviously used to enjoying it. Even though he knew he should do it, even though he knew he had to at least say something polite, he was still hesitant.

This is really too painful.

Damian thought to himself with a conflicted thought.

Seeing this, Carl immediately prepared to add fuel to the fire.

She used both hands to slowly move Damian's head to a position where she could still see High Priestess Mariana's back as she walked quickly in the corridor.

Damian looked at this somewhat familiar route in confusion, but for a moment he didn't realize where the road led to.

At this moment, Karko's back was shaking like a devil's tail, and the girl's light voice slowly echoed in Damian's ears.

“That’s the road to my mother!”

"I heard that she has a good relationship with High Priestess Mariana. I guess she doesn't know what happened today!"

Damian immediately put his head in his hands, a look of despair on his face.

"Oh no!"

And Karko smiled and said, "Do you think that's the end?"
