Chapter 1695: It isn't impossible for a carnivore and a herbivore to be together, as long as the carnivore is smart enough
Shin might not realize what he had done to everyone, or rather he explained magic to everyone with vigor. After all, he wanted everyone to be stronger so no one would hurt them. However, everyone was a bit overwhelmed by him and thought that Shin was a monster. Even so, they still listened since they wanted to become stronger.
Melinda and Merlin looked at each other, then looked at Haru, who was listening to Shin, before they looked at their grandson, before they let out a long sigh, feeling quite glad that they listened to Haru or else, they weren't sure what their grandson was about to do.
After the study group ended, some of them laid on the table weakly, feeling quite sad when they thought how weak they were, but some of them, such as Yuri and Lynn, didn't react that much. After all, they had learned all that Shin had taught from Haru.
Yuri and Lynn then looked at Haru and had to admit that even though this guy was strong, this guy was very low-key, which made them realize that he was very mature, making them feel even happier with how they were with him.
Haru noticed that Yuri and Lynn moved closer at him, but he didn't think too much. Then he looked at Merlin and asked, "Uncle Merlin, you're the one who taught Shin, right?"
'Uncle Merlin?' Everyone who didn't know what had happened in Shin's house was dumbfounded since they didn't expect Haru to call Merlin an uncle.
"Yes." Merlin nodded, and he was glad that someone gave him a chance to save his grandson. "Well, I'm the first one who taught him, to be sure, but Shin has his own way of visualizing things."
"What do you mean by that?" August asked with a confused expression. After all, Shin's explanation used jargon and some words that only people in the modern world understood, so it was normal for him not to understand Shin's explanation.
"Shin doesn't visualize the magic's outcome, but rather, the process." Merlin looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone do you know why a fire burns?"
"Well, um, because you set it on fire?" Alice said, unsure.
"I don't think that's what he means..." Olivia was speechless.
"If you ask why, exactly, we can't offer a definite answer," August said.
Lynn and Yuri knew why a fire burnt, but they looked at Haru, who was shaking his head, and gave him a nod. After all, they also knew that there was nothing good to expose their own power. They weren't Shin who had the protection of both Merlin and Melinda, so even though Shin didn't think too much or even naively shared his knowledge with everyone in this class, both Lynn and Yuri wouldn't be affected by it, or rather they didn't have a desire to show off their knowledge since they knew how precious their knowledge was.
If they had to share, then it would be their families or their children in the future. Of course, they knew who they would have children with in the future.
Lynn and Yuri smiled, then cast a glance at Haru, who was looking at Merlin, who was standing in front of the classroom and seemed to be quite oblivious to their stares at this moment.
Merlin, who saw everyone was attracted by his words, said, "I don't really know, either."
"Eh?!" Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Merlin's words.
Merlin then looked at everyone and continued with his explanation. "But Shin always raises those questions. What is fire? Why does it burn? As a result, he doesn't solely think about the outcome; he grasps the mechanisms that get him there to dream up new visualizations that have never been done before, giving rise to more powerful magic. Kind of like this..." He raised his palm then a purple door appeared in front of him.
"Grandpa, is that...?" Shin was surprised when he saw Merlin was able to use the "gate."
Merlin laughed and said, "It sure wasn't easy, but thanks to your description using a paper, I finally figured it out."
Before Shin explained about the "Gate" magic with a piece of paper, unlike the teleportation magic that moved something to somewhere, the "Gate" was like creating a hole or a door from one place to another place, so it would shorten the distance between two places.
Merlin then looked at everyone again and said, "Shin isn't the only one who can use his magic. If you understand the mechanisms and combine them with the right visualizations and the appropriate magic power control, you can use them. Shin might not be conventional, but he isn't beyond the pale, either."
"......" Everyone was in silence and nodded lightly, their thought about Shin that was slightly humanized and in their minds, Shin wasn't some kind of a dangerous monster, well, still, Shin was a prodigy, and they knew that someone who could think such a visualization to use magic wasn't a normal guy.
'Grandpa, thank you...' Shin was grateful to Merlin, and he also knew that he had said something wrong again, which made him realize that he was quite stupid.
Haru looked at Shin and shook his head. If this guy wasn't stupid, then it would be good, but at the same time, he thought that the relationship between Shin and his classmates was like the relationship of a carnivore and a herbivore.
Shin was strong, which was why he was a carnivore, and the classmates were the herbivore since they were only weak children that could only use half-assets magic.
Haru knew that a carnivore didn't care about the thought of the herbivore since they were the only food in their eyes, but sometimes there was some strange carnivore that was born, and it wanted to befriend the herbivores such as Shin.
In truth, it might be possible for both the carnivores and the herbivores to befriend each other, but it was tough, and Shin, who might be a powerful magician, had a very low EQ. He couldn't understand that.
Haru might be a carnivore too, and he was a wolf, which was why he was quite cunning, so even though he was a wolf, he dressed like a sheep like everyone else. Still, if someone realized then what he did was similar to what a wolf did in the children's storybook, disguising, then ate them when there was a chance.
On the other hand, Shin was a herbivore that was reincarnated into the body of the carnivores, so what Shin needed to do was to understand that difference, and if Shin didn't want to be alone, then Shin needed to grow up, or else...
Haru shook his head and decided not to think too much. After all, what he had observed from the beginning to the end, this guy wasn't a threat at all for him.
