CH 43

[Dianna’s today]

Today was Professor Yannis’ class.

They continued to learn addition and subtraction from last time. Dianna was able to calculate up to ten without using her fingers.

She was very happy to be praised by Professor Yannis, but she annoyed him by forcing him to pat her head.

It seems that she had lunch with her mother. I ate in the servants’ room, so I don’t know what happened at lunch.

Ilvalino

—–

Cain was squirming as he read the letter on the desk in his room.

He had given strict orders to Ilvalino to report on Dianna’s condition while he was trained by the knights in the morning.

Ilvalino looked annoyed, but Cain had a sad look on his face, like Dianna’s when she knocked over her favorite dish, so he agreed to do it as long as it didn’t consume too much time.

“Aaahhh! I want to praise Dianna! I want to pat her on the head and tell her how great she is for being able to do math without using her hands! She’s only 4 years old! Isn’t it amazing how she could do math when she’s only 4?! You know what? I’m sure this is something that should be praised without exaggeration, but why wasn’t I there? What the hell was I doing at that time? I was praising His Highness Al! Why am I giving praises to someone else instead, I want to give praises to Dianna! I wanted to see the smug look on Dianna’s face when she did the math. Whyyyyyyyyyy”

“Master Cain, your face.”

“Hahaha. Master Cain’s love for Dianna is as strong as ever. Let’s work hard on our magic so that Dianna will say, ‘Big brother, you’re amazing!’ I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear that.”

Cain laments the lack of Dianna, and Ilvalino pays attention to his broken face.

Then Tirunoa, who was teaching magic, came into the room.

“Professor Tirunoa. Please knock before you enter the room.”

“Master Cain and I are close so it’s fine right. Now, you’re going to start doing magic today, right? Let’s do it!”

Ilvareno’s caution was brushed aside, and Tirunoa thrust out a clenched fist.

Ilvalino made an ‘I’m not sure what he means’ face and looked at Cain, but Cain also tilted his head.

“What? The duke said that Master Cain and the butler wanted to let Ilvino-kun learn magic toooooo.”

“I don’t think Father would say it like that…

“Well that being said, let’s study magic Ilvino-kun. Eventually, you’ll be a mage!”

“I’m Ilvalino.”

“I see! Names are important for magic. But it’s hard to say. Can I call you Ilu-kun?”

“… Whatever you want.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Then, Master Cain will do magic theory~. You’ve technically already mastered fire, wind, and water. Do you want to go to earth next? Or do you want to go for fire and wind combined magic, explosion or wind, and water combined magic, freeze?” Tirunoa asked.

Tirunoa piled up books on magic theory on the low table. It’s a thick book of theories for each attribute.

Cain has already mastered the basics of magic, so when he learns a new spell, he can use it to some extent by reading the theory books and understanding the logic of the magic. Once he is able to use it, he can practice it repeatedly to improve its power.

“Start with whatever you like! If you have any questions, just ask! I recommend earth! If you can use earth magic, you can challenge transfer magic by combining it with wind magic!” 

After Tirunoa spoke that much at once, she spun her body around. The hem of her indigo robe fluttered out like a flower.

“Ilu-kun! Ilu-kun! Ilu-kun, you’re going to start from the very beginning! You know~ I love seeing the moment when a child who can’t do magic becomes capable of doing it!

I want to do more magic tutoring, but I can’t. I got rejected at the interview. I’m so happy to be able to teach new kids again! Master Cain was talented from the start so now it’s boring~. But you know~the  moment Master Cain was able to use magic for the first time, he was jumping up and down with joy and was cute. But now he can read books and use magic on his own. It’s so boring~. Well well, come on! Then let’s start by feeling your own magic power! Hold my hand!”

While Ilvalino flinched at Tirunoa’s attempt to close the distance between them, Cain picked up the books piled on the table one by one and flipped through them. In order to gain power, it would be better to study combined magic to get more powerful means of attack, but I was curious about what Tirunoa had said about earth and wind magic being able to use transfer magic.

Transfer magic is a magic that didn’t appear in the game. Of course, in the game, Cain’s best magic was ice magic. He didn’t use water or wind in the scenario, and there was no particular information about combined magic of the two attributes.

The spells for using magic are the same as in the game, Cain thought scratching his head.

In the game, magic could be learned on its own if you leveled up and improved your skills. The heroine is good at the rare holy attribute and can learn magic related to healing and purification of demons, as well as buffing magic.

…but since it was an otome game, Cain didn’t have many opportunities to show it off.

The holy knight route and the assassin’s route is the only time you can use it. In the classmate mage route, there are no scenes where you use magic at all, but if you don’t improve your magic skills, you won’t get a good impression. This is the part of the story that Cain had called “a waste of time” in his previous life.

In any case, if Cain can use transfer magic, he can rush to Dianna’s side in times of need. No matter where he is, he can come back to Dianna’s side.

Then, the next step was to learn earth magic. Cain concluded his thoughts, picked up a theory book on earth magic, and headed for his study desk.
