CH 10

Today is the day when the " tutor of magic" that I requested from father is coming, so I am looking forward to it from this morning.

The idea of being able to use "magic" naturally makes my heart jump. I had learned a little about magic from books, but my father told me that he would get the magic tutor for me as soon as he could.

I suppressed my excitement and put off my magical approach until later.

I waited anxiously in the guest room, waiting impatiently for the right moment.

Then there was a knock at the door.

Master Rid, your tutor, Ms. Sandra Ernesto, is here. May I escort you in?"

I heard a voice through the door,.... , "come in."

I quickly responded to Danae's voice coming from the other side of the door.

"Excuse me," Danae led me to a little woman who came into the reception room.

She had brown hair and light blue eyes, giving her a cute appearance.

"I will be your magic tutor, Mister Rid. My name is Sandra Ernesto. I look forward to working with you in the coming time."

"I look forward to working with you."

She introduced herself in a cheerful, brisk voice.

When I replied, she smiled back.

After we finished greeting each other, we sat down on the sofa across the table in the guest room and chatted for a while.

She smiled happily when I told her that I was very interested in magic and had been looking forward to this day.

Sandra was also looking forward to seeing what kind of person my father had in mind for her to teach .

As we chatted, the tension between us began to dissipate a little.

Then Sandra's mood changed a little.

She cleared her throat, then switched to a teacher mode and began the lesson.

'......I'll get right to it, but has Mister Rid ever used magic before?"

'No, I have never used it or seen it up close."

In fact, I have never seen anyone use magic in the mansion.

The magic in the game seemed to be something that anyone could learn to use if they had the practice.

Even in the books of this world, it was mentioned in a way that magic could be used only after training.

However, there was no information on how to practice magic .

I read in the book that anyone can use magic as long as they have training in it?

" Yes, everyone has magic power in different amounts. If you train yourself, you can use magic to some extent. But it is not something that anyone can use easily. I will teach you how to use it. Please feel as if you are on a big ship."

Sandra stood up and put her hands on her chest, looking at me with strong gaze, as if full of confidence.

Her words and gestures naturally conveyed her feelings for magic.

Sandra came back to self with a "huff" and blushed

She coughed again and then continued her speech.

"......, let me first explain to you about magic."

She carefully explained about magic of this world.

The magic power needed to activate magic is not limited to humans, but is said to be a type of life energy that every living being possesses.

This power is refined in the body and converted into magic energy.

The converted magical energy is then used as the source to cast the spell.

In other words, you cannot use magic unless you can sense the life energy within you and work to convert it into magic power.

So, to be able to use magic, you must have training.

"So, Rid, first of all, you must be able to transfer magic power."

I understand. But, teacher Sandra, I would like to see the magic once. If it is possible, I would like you to show me magic once, if you don't mind."

She blushed at the mention of teacher "Sandra". Then, while putting her hands on both cheeks, she mumbled quietly, "I am the teacher, ......," and began to twist her body.

I asked her "Are you all right, ......?　When I asked her again, she said, " Yes, I'm fine,," and acted as if nothing had happened.

I wondered if she was okay.

"Yes, I think it will be easier to understand magic if you see the magic first. Then, let's go outside."

After I nodded in reply to her words, the two of us left the room and moved outside to the training grounds .

Incidentally, there are training grounds for swordsmanship and magic within the compound of the mansion.

In addition to that, there are various other places being maintained.

At any rate, swordsmanship and magic can be practiced at any time.

Nobles are amazing.

"Well, let me show you."

When we arrived at the training ground, she held out her right hand toward the target that had been set up.

Next, she closed her eyes and concentrated. Then she opened her eyes and shouted.

"Fireball, ."

As if in response to her words, the palm of her right hand began to glow.

The light quickly turned into a ball of fire and swelled.

When the size of the ball became about the size of a soccer ball from my memory of my previous life, the "fireball" flew toward the target and hit it with a "boom" sound.

The target turned black and smoke was appeared .

Sandra casted magic, and it took only a moment for the ball to hit the target.

"What do you think?　Did you get the idea of magic?”

"The magic you did just now was really cool."

‘I'm sure you'll be able to do this in no time.”

The first time I saw magic, my eyes brighten up and I approached Sandra with a feel of shock.

The fact that the magic is real is a very good thing, it's not really a about a being excited to see the magic that I liked in games and cartoons in Mym previous life .

I was determined to learn magic.

However, there was one thing that bothered me.

I wondered if I had to shout out the name of the magic.

'Teacher Sandra, by the way, that magic you just mentioned, do I have to shout out the name of the spells ?"

'Huh?　Let's see, it is not absolutely necessary to shout the spell name in order to cast it."

In response to my question, she also explained the conditions for activating magic.

She explained that the basic condition for activating magic is that the image of the magic to be activated must be clear in order for the magic to be activated correctly.

To use an analogy, the spell must match the image of the caster in order to activate it.

In order to activate magic quickly and reliably, it must be memorized by the body and brain, just like kata in swordsmanship, karate, . In other words, once the kata has been completely memorized, the magician must be able to perform it.

"In other words, once the kata is fully memorized, spell can be activated immediately without shouting the magic name, "

After the explanation, Sandra used the magic again without shouting the name of the spell .

My eyes lit up even more at the sight of this and I exclaimed, "Amazing "!

“you still have a long way to go before being able to activate this none chanting- magic," he said. First, let's learn to convert magic power."

Then, I followed her order and learned "magical power conversion."

I became aware of the "life force" within me and converted it into "magic power.

It is easy to put into words, but this is very difficult.

While I was struggling with this, Sandra was smiling at me with a wry smile on her face.

I have a bad feeling about this.

"Mister ...... Rid, it is very difficult to get a sense of magical transformation, so it usually takes a lot of time. However, if you use the method I have created , I can create an opportunity for you to get learn 'magic conversion' ... in a fast way Would you like to give it a try?"

Sandra looks amused, with mischievous smile and eyes with a little hand over her mouth.

It's a little scary. I step away from her, giving off that creepy vibe.

"I want to be able to use it as soon as possible, so what do I have to do?"

"Then please hold out your hands."

"..... like this?"

She grabbed both of my hands with an evil vibe and smile on her face.

"Well, I'm going to start," and then there was a terrific "bang " sound.

"What?"

I thought I heard a sound, and then I felt a sharp pain , as if my whole body was being electrified.

I couldn't help but try to let go of Sandra's hands, but she had a strong grip on me.

"My body going to rip open."

. I'm sure no one has ever had their body really ripped open by doing that, so "lease endure with it a little longer."

I looked frantically at Sandra's face and saw a grin on her face.

Seeing how much fun she was having, I shouted in my mind, "This is definitely a bad thing ."

'Mister Rid, we're done."

I felt like I had been chattering for a long time, but apparently very little time had passed.

When Sandra let go of my hands, I involuntarily got on my knees on the ground and gasped as I shook my shoulders, "Ha ha ha,"

It was a moment that seemed like torture, but what on earth was that pain?

"I'm sorry. Now let me explain what just happened ."

Sandra explained what had just happened without losing her happy smile.

It takes time to learn the "magic conversion" in average training.

"Therefore, rather than learning to convert magic on your own, you forced to do it once by someone who can do it."

"In this way, it will be easier to reproduce the sensation because one will be able to actually feel the "magical conversion."

"However, this can only be done by those who are skilled in conversion magic power."

Moreover, since it is a "special way " developed by her, it is said that only she can activate it.

Sandra became my tutor because she could use that method .

. There is also a disadvantage: the "intense pain" that occurs in body when one forced to experience "magic conversion" from other person .

This is apparently a reaction to being forced to become aware of sensations that should normally be learned gradually.

When I told her that I wished she had told me it beforehand , she smiled and said that" it would have been less fun ".

I muttered in my mind, "You idiotic teacher ," and stuck my tongue out at her.

Then, please try the 'magic transformation' again.

I did as I was told and tried again, just as I had done the first time, and was immediately aware of "something" inside me.

"You are sense it, aren't you?　That is the source of the magic power. The next step is to turn that source into magical power. In the image, please compress the source that you sensed . Then you will feel that it has become something different. That is the magic."

I followed Sandra's advice, and I was amazed.

I was clearly aware that there was some mysterious power inside me. Sandra, who was watching me, smiled happily.

That is the magic power. Now, please transfer that magic power to your palm. Remember the fireball I showed you at the beginning, and clearly visualize the magic you want to cast . Once you have that image, try activating it by first shouting the name of the spell and then pointing it at the target.

" I concentrated on each step of the procedure, although I was puzzled by the sensations I was experiencing for the first time.

I held out my right hand toward the target and took a deep breath before shouting the magic name.

At that moment, the magic power was concentrated in my hand and became a fireball.

When it reached a certain size, the fireball flew to the target and hit it with a "boom sound .

"I did it!"

I was so excited with my first success with magic.

Magic is super fun.

However, Sandra, who saw that I was able to cast the spell , looked very surprised.

Did I do something wrong?

I was surprised to see that you have such a wonderful talent for magic, ...... Rid. I didn't expect you to be able to go from magical conversion to activation just today."

"Eh.....?"

The most important thing to remember is that the magic is not just about the image, it's also about the way you think about it.

If I hear what she said, even if I can convert magic power, it doesn't mean I can activate it as a spell to hit the target.

However, I was able to clarify the image until I was able to cast it by watching her magic alone, without repeated practice.

"It's a great feat . It seems that you may be a genius."

She had a mischievous smile and look in her eyes earlier, but her expression was so thoughtful that it was hard to believe that she was the same person.

After that, I tried several times and did not fail even once.

I also tried the no-chanting option and was able to perform it without any problems.

Sandra, who was watching me , muttered quietly, " you're a genius ......," and her face paled a little.

I was having fun and was using magic over and over again, and my breath was gradually getting heavier and heavier.

"Let's stop for today and have a lecture for the rest of the day."

Yes, I was a little too excited.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll also explain to you about the amount of magic power."

Magic power is not infinite.

The actual amount of magic power that each and every individual possesses is naturally different.

The amount of magic power that each individual is born with differs to a greater or lesser extent, but it is said that there is basically no drastic difference.

The maximum amount of magic power increases the more magic is used and practiced.

Daily training is absolutely necessary if one wants to use various types of magic or major spells .

When I asked about how to recover magic power, I was told that the only way to recover magic power is through natural recovery.

There are no tools in this world to recover magic power like there are in the game.

"It seems that every country is trying to find and make such items, but there are no success in it."

"Is that so?"

I was thinking inwardly that it would be interesting to make a magic potion that was used in the game.

After that, she explained to me about "attribute magic" and "special magic.

Attribute magic" refers to magic that is activated by converting magic power into fire, water, and other elements .

Magic that is cast without converting magic power into an attribute is "non-attribute magic," but it falls into the "attribute magic" category.

Attribute magic" is basically useless unless the person casting the spell has attribute qualities.

Sandra's first spell, Fireball, is a fire attribute spell, so it requires the attribute of fire.

Incidentally, the Bardia family is a family with a " nature of fire," but Rid had the qualities of all attributes in the game.

This is also a subject for future testing.

The "special magic" that Sandra told me about was very interesting.

There was no such thing as "special magic" in the games I knew from my previous life.

According to her explanation, special magic is categorized as supplementary magic, such as the "magic conversion forced awareness" that Sandra had done for me.

"Magic can do many things Once you have a certain amount of magical power and the ability to control it, it is not impossible to create your own unique spells . However, it is very difficult to create a clear image of spell , so not many people can do it."

Wow, it is possible to create your own magic if you work hard enough.

I feel my motivation blasting off.

Sandra sees me in such a high-spirited state and clears her throat.

"But you just started to learn magic. First of all, let's learn to convert magic power more rapidly and efficiently. The more you use magic, the more magical power you will have, so please start with daily practice and work hard."

"Yes, I will do my best "

Today was probably the most enjoyable day I've had in another world.

With a gleam in my eyes, I raised my right hand to the sky.

I will train from now on and I will surely create my own unique spells
