[Noelia : The Count’s Daughter is Bewildered]

※Noelia’s POV

…really, what a nonsensical person… why, can he activate the magic but unable to control the power…

However, that power… It’s certain that he possessed an outrageous talent.

I, who had returned to the mansion, ignored my father, who was trying to ask me why my clothes were torn.

Then, when I returned to my room, I remembered the magic practice I had with Frick while changing clothes.

I was so absorbed in the magic practice and forgot, but if I’m not wrong, his body is still fine even after activating magic many times over…

Even I, if I didn’t use a staff and continue to activate magic with power close to advanced-level magic, will be exhausted enough to feel Magic Power Exhaustion.

Because he didn’t looked tired at all after repeatedly activating such high power magic, the amount of magic power he has must be much higher than me.

The mages who were proud of their magic power and did Magic Power Matching with me so far, are unable to live up to their claims.

Due to that, there seems to be a rumor if someone do Magic Power Matching with me, they will die, but in reality they were ashamed to be bested by a young mage they made light of so they ran away.

Well, thanks to the rumors, they would escape just by being suggested to do Magic Power Matching with me, so it saved me the trouble.

Until the time with Frick…

The magic power I absorbed from him when we did the Magic Power Matching was still gushing out even after my own vessel was full and overflowed.

Due to the overflowing of my capacity, I who did the absorbing was exposed to the ugly situation of being stunned and fainted.

Normally, people who weren’t using magic can’t save up that much magic power… but I can’t see Frick lying.

I suppose that he must have acquired that extraordinary amount of magic power by practicing unlike any ordinary mage.

I guess that not everyone can use that method.

However, I must admit that ‘only’ the magic power is super class mage.

The problem is that he can’t control the power of magic by himself… even though he can control the shape and element that activated.

Why, is it only the size that deteremines the power became so distorted…

No matter how many times Frick tries, he can only activate magic with an unusual size and power, or conversely, it can fail without being activated at all.

“It doesn’t quite fit the size” was his impression.

He said he lives devoted to sword, but the size error was severe.

Even children who have just learned magic will not be able to make the same error even with elementary magic.

While thinking about facing Frick’s distorted perception of magic, I changed my clothes and head towards the library I made in my room.

If he corrected his perception of size… Frick will surely be a great mage.

Purely as a person who use magic, I would like to see what kind of magic will he be able to master, when a mage with that amount of magic power can use magic normally…

I thought so, and when I brought out some guidebooks about magic teaching methods from the library, I lay down on the bed and read them.

Correction of cognitive distortion…

This is about forms imagination… There is no problem in that area.

How to adjust when it activates… is this it?

If I find a method to correct the distortion of cognition for Frick’s magic from the magic guidebook, I will read the contents.

Let’s see, it can be solved by giving a comparison that can be easily imagined to the person with a distortion of cognition for the size that deteremines the power…,huh.

Give a thing to compare… I wonder what will make it easy for him to get the perception of size.

Let’s hear it tomorrow….

I thought so and realized something.

At the time we parted today, we didn’t made promise to meet tomorrow.

I though that it was a joke that he can’t use magic in this one week, and I remembered that it was my daily life to watch his behaviors around the clock and search for his real magic ability.

An unexpected situation happened today, and in the course of events I did magic practice with him, but we didn’t make a plan to do it again next time.

So, there is no assurance that he will hear me tomorrow.

Oh dear… I should have get him to promise.

On the way back, I was absorbed talking about his distorted magic activation.

If Frick will not talk for a week, should I follow him around the clock and pretend to coincidentally meet him at the city…

Even though I didn’t realize it because I was so obsessed with finding his magic true strength, but now that I think about it, I was doing a strange thing.

I thought so when strange sweat came out from my back and the clothes I changed to became damp.

Anything, is there anything I can use as an excuse to meet him…

Ha! That’s it! I can use the excuse to pay the debt of gratitude for saving me from the Man Eater, he must not be able to refuse.

What should I give him as a reward… I felt that money is a bit boorish… staff… no, I think as a swordsman, he will more pleased with a sword.

If it’s that, I should have just borrow a sharp sword from father’s collection as a gift.

Then, I will search for a sword in the treasure room.

When I closed the book I was reading and hurriedly got up from the bed, I suddenly saw the cloak I borrowed from him.

I wonder if I should wash and return that as well…

I pick it up and smell it.

His smell reminded me of the ecstatic time I felt when we were doing Magic Power Matching. (TN : I knew it! ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ )

Fuu, it smells a bit sweaty, but this calming scent… I will borrow this for a while.

Including this as well, I must splurge a bit for the reward sword.

I placed his cloak near my pillow and turned my feet to the treasure room in the basement of the mansion.

The cold girl wasn’t so cold anymore huh.
