Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

1: The possessor of the Curse of Gold... Is the world's top magician...
2: And at the moment, the world's top magician is...

[3]

1: I'm the world's best magician?

2: Really? This child? // Reisel, lend me that true sight monocle!
3: All right.

4: Woah, what the, I don't believe this!!
5: ?!

6: Fi, take a look yourself.

7: My, my...
8: Yeah---?

9: What?
10: What the hell...?

[4]

1: This is called a magic true sight monocle, a machine that's capable of seeing the strength of people's magic.
2: The people at Elzion are more or less using the same thing.
2 (text): Though this one's been improved upon

3: It's also able to see things like thermography, as well as the provide readings on magic.
4: As for functions that the Elzion ones don't have, you can conduct a wide-area search on it even without having to look around.

5: By the way, the normal magic reading you'll get off people is around 10.
6: Hmm.

SFX: whirr

[5]

1: ...
2: What's the matter?

3: Isn't this broken?
4: Huh?

5: You said normally the readings would be around 10, right? // But you're totally not in that range.
6: How much are we?

7: 480.
8: 600.
9: 1210.

10: It's just the same as usual.
11: Doesn't seem like it's broken.
12: Eh...

13: Then, the reading I got off him is also...?

14: What's my figure?

[6]

1: 103000.

2: ...
3: Huh?

4: A hundred and three thousand.
5: That's what your magic is when quantified in terms of numbers.

[7]

1: The curse resides in those with strong magical powers.

2: There's also the fact that you're Jio Ruetas' grandson, which definitely makes you the possessor of the Curse of Gold. // Jio Aria.

3: That's why I keep asking, what's this Curse of Gold thing?

4: The Curse of Gold
5: Is...

[8]

1: "A magic that will grant a single wish that could be of anything at all".

2: ...Anything...
3: ... At all...

[9]
1: So, it can even produce enough gold to last me for more than a lifetime?
2: W-well, it's certainly possible.

3: Pretty vulgar, isn't he.
4: ...

5: Ah!

6: The hell, no can do~~
7: What's wrong?

8: All this talk about curses and stuff, it all depends on if I can use magic, right?
9: Then there's no point is there, cuz I can't use magic.

10: And what if I tell you that doesn't have to be the case?

11: Eh...?

[10]

1: People are starting to regain their ability to use magic again.

2: Moreover, magic didn't disappear from the world five hundred years ago...
3: It was simply sealed away for whatever reason, and it seems the this seal is slowly unravelling.

4: The fact that you can use magic with magical tools is proof of this.

5: And magical tools are...?

6: They're a general term for items that facilitate the use of magic. The Elzion people were also using magical tools to attack you, Jio.
[Lit: they're a general term for tools that are used to allow the user to use magic... yeah, I took a bit of a liberty here, but it still sounds retarded]

[11]

1: It shouldn't be strange for you to be able to use simple magic...
2: Huuuh?

3: Magic?
4: But there's no way I can use it.
5: Cherie, please fetch the magical tool we completed just the other day.
6: Okay.

7: Hm? Wait.
8: That was...

9: Professor, are you giving that to him?
10: He'll need it to protect himself, won't he.

11: Taadaa!!

[12]

1: What's this?
2: A ring?

3: Please try it on.
4: The index finger of your dominant hand will do.

5: So,
6: What IS this?

7: Essentially, it's the same system as the Elzion people were using.

8: So I can fire magical attacks with it!

9: It's something you'll need, what with Elzion... no, Ride after your life.

[13]

1: Ride?

2: Ride Varoudia.

3: He's the one who wants to kill you, obtain the Curse of Gold,
4: And become the world's number one magician.

[14]

1: Hmm...

2: He must be troubled, being told everything in one go...
3: So he was a fragile child...

[15]

SFX: grin

1: Ueheh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh....

2: I don't see any part of him that's worried at all.
3: ...

4: Heehee
5: Heehyahahaha

6: I don't care how much magical power it has, I can't believe an idiot like that is the owner of the Curse of Gold and the

world's top magician...
7: It doesn't think about anything besides gold...
T/N: yes, it, not he

[16]

1: So you're saying curses can't choose their owners...
2: No...

3: He might seem a vulgar person at first glance, but...
4: I can feel... there's more to him than meets the eye.
Lit: secrets he's keeping to himself

5: What, that thing?
SFX: hee hee hee
SFX: thump thump
6: ...

7: ...
8: Heh heh heh...
9: What the heck?
10: I'm the strongest in the world
11: Crap, I can't stop grinning.

[17]

1: I can use magic with this magical ring,
2: And on top of that, I have some sort of curse that'll grant me anything I want?

3: Ahhhh~~
4: I can't stop trembling...

5: After my life?
6: Bring it on, you fuckers!!

7: [music]
8: ?!

9: [music]
10: Faster than I'd anticipated.
11: What's going on?

[18]

1: Elzion has discovered the passageway that leads here.
2: That Ride might be a fool, but he sure thinks quick on his feet.
3: Heh

4: Heh heh heh heh
5: ?!

6: Hah hah hah hah haaa--
7: I can blast fireballs now.

8: Come... I ain't no rabbit to be hunted!
9: I've become a human hunter!!

[19]

1: Don't you worry, // Magic power 480, 600, 1210!!
2: He's calling us by our numbers?

3: 'Cuz I, the awesome Jio with a magical power of a hundred and three thousand, am here to protect ya!!

4: I don't think that'll be likely.

5: ...Huh?
6: I have given you a magic ring, but there's an upper limit to its use.

[20]

Side text: Being a hundred and three thousand strong is useless... How will the battle next issue turn out?

1: You may have magic of over a hundred thousand, but you can't use it just like that.
2: If you use magic above a certain threshold, the ring will not be able endure the power and break.

3: Moreover, the difference in facilities available means that Elzion is probably more advanced in terms of the development of offensive magical tools...

4: Hey, you guys are gonna be in a bit of a pinch if that Ride guy gets ahold of the Curse of Gold, right?
5: Um, yes...

6: Right! // Let's combine our powers and protect me!!
7: Is there really another side to him...?
Lit: Does he really keep secrets in that head of his...? <-- awkward :/
8: ...
