“Ugh…”

Erica stood there for a while, frowning and groaning with her hands tightened.

“Ugh.”

Even though Erica’s hands spread out, I could see all her body was trembling, but there were no reactions from her hands. Eventually, Erica put her hands down and talked, scratching her head awkwardly.

“I’m sorry, Yerine, I think I can’t do this magic too….”

“Oh, no, you don’t have to be sorry.”

After deciding to help Erica use the magic, I and Erica, in the battlefield with no one else around, tried again the magic called magic, which she could.

‘Is it really impossible to do 4 element magic?’

I thought as I drew a sign on a piece of paper full of black letters.

There was no problem memorizing the magic circle. If I give her time before doing the magic, Erica quickly memorized the Magic Circle and drew it almost alike without even looking. Seeing that, it was clear that magic power was the sole problem.

‘To what extent should I take the timing…..’

In fact, from the beginning, I could have taught Erica specialized magic. However, the reason I didn’t do that was that no matter how much I tried to bring it up, it seemed too suspicious.

And as long as the flow of the original was twisted, I was trying to do all the magic that I could think of in case Erica could evoke in other magic as well.

It would be more effective to protect herself in class if she could do many magic tricks.

‘I’ll see the situation today and tomorrow, and then I’ll let her know if it’s too hard.’

After failing to invoke several basic spells, I tried to conjure up element 4 just in case, but there was no income.

“Well. It’s all right. I’m a Spade, but when I first learned it, it was quite difficult.”

“Eh, Yerine? Are you saying that just to comfort me?”

It wasn’t very wrong. The magic of dealing with soil was the most difficult among the 4 element magic which spades were rarely used.

It took Yerine a month to get used to the magic of dealing with soil, compared to the other magic she learned as a child.

When I used soil magic, my mental power was consumed a lot.

“Eiiiiyy, that’s the truth though.”

I rummaged through the magic book I had left next to me and answered back. Next was the basic attack magic.

It was a magic of scale that could inflict a minor bruise to the opponent if it was hit with the authenticity, but it was close to a sub-compatibility of attack magic that was specialized in the Ace family.

If she could do just a little bit of this, it would have been a little better in the Combat Class.

“The next one. Let’s try this, Erica.”

“Yes, all right.”

Erica sat down next to me and spread the book out on her lap.

“Isn’t it hard? Can you do more?”

“Yes, I’m alright. And I didn’t even use up my mana.”

“Health and physical strength is a different matter.….”

As the words were blurred, Erica smiled and waved her hands saying it was okay. Then she stuck her nose in the book and glared at it as if she was eating the book with her brightly shining eyes.

‘She’s working really hard.…….’

Going forward even in not very good situations. That was the charm of the original Erica, and I liked Erica for that charm.

She had a cute appearance, but to me who had been quite tough in my previous life, that kind of appearance came like hope, and I was subtly happy to see her growing up well.

When I saw Erica up close, I realized that she was more sincere than I thought.

‘Hang in there! ‘Cause I’ll lay you a flower road!’

The goal was to become Trump and build a pretty mansion for Erica.

“I memorized it all.”

“Oh, yeah? Do you want to try it right now?”

“Yes.”

Erica jumped up and stepped into the white circle drawn in the battlefield.

As she breathed deeply and closed her eyes, she stretched her arms forward and drew a magic circle in her head. Erica narrowed her eyebrows and opened her eyes again, focused on her fingertips, and I held her breath as I watched her…

The 3-minute silence followed.

What came out to the battlefield was only Erica’s breathing, and when I noticed that Erica’s arms were trembling, she lowered her arms and talked with a sigh.

“I guess not this magic again this time.”

Erica dropped her arms helplessly and had a mixed look on her face.

“I’m so sorry, Yerine, I just keep wasting the time.”

“Oh, no, Erica. I asked you to do it first, and I have plenty of time.”

“But…”

Erica dropped her head and blurred her words. The visibly depressed look made my heart flutter.

“May, maybe I shouldn’t have joined the Academy…….”

“……”

I understood. When I was mixed up in a group of people living in a completely different world from mine, I thought so too.

“No, Erica. It’s not.”

I talked to her as I approached her.

“I told you that everyone had a magic trick that suited them. You just haven’t found it yet.”

The pink eyes gazed at me.

“It’ll take a while, but if we both search for it, you’ll find it soon. Even if it takes a few days, all we have to do is just try and find it, right?”

I said to Erica with a smile.

“So please don’t think about it. I was so happy to be friends with you at the Academy.”

Erica looked blankly into the air as if she had been hit in the head for a moment. Then she lowered her head, rubbed it around her eyes, and replied in a slightly shaky voice.

“Thank you so much, for me.”

Again, her eyes were slightly red.

“Yes, just keep up the good work. Let’s try again.”

The corners of her mouth rose by itself as if she had found a will. Looking at Erica, standing proudly in the circle with fists in her hands, I smiled and talked.

“Erica, it’s also said that the user’s mood condition affects when she invokes magic.”

It wasn’t made up. It is also written in the family vision book, and it was for this reason that there was a saying to immerse yourself while imagining before you activate the magic.

“Really? So what kind of mind do I need to invoke magic now?”

After agonizing over Erica’s question again with my arms folded, I opened my mouth and answered.

“Why don’t you just say you’re going to kill half the opponent in front of you?”

In front of Erica as much as possible, I was trying to self-esteem the language life that I had been cultivated and accumulated for about 25 years. Erica looked surprised as I used stronger expressions than I thought.

“Oh, yeah……I see. I see. I’ll try again.”

Erica closed her eyes again and talked.

“Yes. I’ll wait for you, so give it one more time.”

The silence continued again, and Erica had kept her hands wide open. But after about five minutes, nothing happened. Eventually, Erica, who had lost her strength, sighed and shook her arms.

“Sorry.”

“Oh, no. You don’t have to be sorry.”

Waving my hands, I talked affectionately.

“The truth is……I don’t know what it’s like to feel like killing an opponent, Yerine.”

“Ah…”

The remark made me think hard. Is there any way to make that understandable in one shot? After putting my finger around my mouth and agonizing over it for a while, I decided to do the best I thought.

“Erica, close your eyes from now on and think about the situation I told you about. Maybe you can get the feeling if you concentrate on this.”

“Uh? I get it.”

Erica closed her eyes quietly, and I straightened my voice and began to talk.

“Come on, focus and imagine…You know, you came to my castle and found an album of my childhood photos.”

“Huh?”

“When I was about 4 or 5 years old……..in a headband with a ribbon, in a soft Cape and a dress, an album full of pictures of me. ”

Then Erica frowned and her mouth slightly raised up.

“Wait, aren’t you too happy?”

“Go on and I’ll listen to it.”

Erica eventually listened to my story with a suspicious look on her face.

“But because you like it so much, I decided to give you a picture. A picture of me with pigtails and smiling brightly with a snowman in the snow.”

“Gasp!”

“You got the picture and you were looking into it at school…….”

Erica was doing her best with a frown as if she were really concentrating. But seeing her mouth smiling, it was clear that she was really imagining what I said.

“But then..….”

I talked with a sudden change in my voice.

“Cassius took it away.”

It was Erica’s face that turned cold. The fact that it worked brought joy into my heart.

“And more than that, to the Imperial Palace…..”

Pop- The floor shook slightly with the sound of something bursting. Soon there was a thud and dust on the floor.
