Chapter 566

Bear-san Surprises Cliff

In the common room, I had Lara-san brew tea from the leaves of the Sacred Tree, and while we were taking a break, Cliff came in.

“How’s the magic lesson? It must be difficult.” (Cliff)

“Yes, it’s challenging. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have enough magical power to gather or because I don’t have enough knowledge to visualize, so I can’t cast light magic as bright as Yuna-san.” (Noa)

Noa answered with a slightly depressed expression.

However, on the contrary, Cliff had a surprised expression on his face.

“Wait a minute. I wasn’t expecting that. Are you already able to use magic?” (Cliff)

“Even if I say I can use magic, it’s just about this much.” (Noa)

Noa asks Lara-san to close the curtains to darken the room. The room becomes darker, though not as dark as the basement.

Noa then held her pendant, closed her eyes, and concentrated.

And her right hand holding the pendant glowed.

It’s not dazzling, but it’s not dim, either. It’s just the correct brightness when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” (Cliff)

Perhaps he’s disappointed thinking this was just the extent or something?

“It’s just the beginning. She’s still learning.” (Yuna)

I defended Noa.

We’re just getting started. Learning magic is not something that anyone can easily do as if learning to breathe.

“What are you talking about? You cannot learn magic in just a day, not to mention half a day. How to gather magic power, and how to process the image. It takes time to get used to it. It takes time to grasp the trigger.” (Cliff)

Apparently, he was surprised that she was able to use magic.

Certainly, Noa had said something like that. But I guess that’s not the case because the two of them could use it immediately.

“Even if you say it like that, both of them were able to use it right away.” (Yuna)

When I said that, Cliff looked at Fina.

“Miss Fina too?” (Cliff)

“Yes. But it’s a bit dimmer than Noa-sama’s.” (Fina)

“May I see it?” (Cliff)

“Etto, yes.” (Fina)

Fina took the ring from her pocket, wore it on her index finger, closed her eyes just as Noa did, and concentrated on using her light magic.

Fina’s hand shone.

After they showed their magic, Lara-san opened the curtains with perfect timing.

“Yuna. How did you teach them?” (Cliff)

“I just taught them what Noa told me.” (Yuna)

He looked at Noa to confirm.

“Yes. Usually, a person who can use magic holds the other person’s hand and makes them remember the sensation of magic power. Yuna-san just did exactly that. Was I wrong?” (Noa)

“No, you’re not wrong. But as I mentioned, it takes a few days to feel the magic. And even if you can feel magic, you will have difficulty gathering it. And even if you can gather magic power, you’d still have difficulty visualizing magic to be cast. So I couldn’t believe you could learn to the point of casting a magic spell in half a day.” (Cliff) 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

“So then, that means both of you are adept in magic.” (Yuna)

Judging from Cliff’s conversation with Noa, the method I taught the two of them was the common method. In other words, it wasn’t a unique teaching method, and it wasn’t like I was drawing out their potential with bear magic. Well, they don’t have that kind of magic or skill to begin.

That means they both had a talent for magic from the very start. That made me happy.

“Yuna-san’s magic moved through my body, so I could just feel my magic right away. I’m sure Yuna-san was very good at channeling her magic.” (Noa)

Fina nodded at Noa’s words.

I’m happy to hear that, but you won’t get anything by praising me.

“Well, if you’ve learned how to use magic, that’s good. But from here on out, your growth will depend on the amount of magic you have and your ability to visualize magic. You have a long way to go to become a full-fledged magician.” (Cliff)

Certainly, magic would change depending on the total amount of magic power you have, the amount of magic you can gather in one point, and the power of your imagination.

Sometimes there were characters in manga and novels that had a lot of magic power but could not use magic themselves. If any of the following was lacking; the amount of magic power one has, gathering magic power, or the capacity to imagine, that person wouldn’t be able to cast magic, and if they were weak in any of these areas, the magic would also be weak. It’s a narrow path to thread on to be able to use strong magic. And the one who has honed all of them would be an excellent magician.

But they have just taken their first step into the world of magic. From now on, because I use magic with cheat equipment, I think we should proceed step by step. Still, I can’t talk big because I use magic with cheat equipment.

“So where am I going with this?” (Yuna)

We didn’t talk about that part, that’s why I asked. For now, I would like to have a goal.

“I’ve already told Noa, but only to the extent that she can do it. Magic is not something you can just tell someone to do, and there is magic that she’s not good at. She has to find out what she’s good or bad at as she works with her magic.” (Cliff)

Certainly, people have strengths and weaknesses. During the magic exchange session, students also had clear strengths and weaknesses.

“Father, did you perhaps send me to the magic exchange that Oneesama attended so I could see various kinds of magic?” (Noa)

“It’s not good to stick to one magic. You might get fixed ideas and not be able to use other magic. You get to see various kinds of magic at the magic exchange meeting, so you learn a lot about magic visualization.” (Cliff)

Indeed, fire magic comes in many forms. There were fireballs, arrows, flames that cling to you, and so on.

That magical event was probably the best way to practice visualizing.

“In that case, we should have taken Fina with us.” (Noa)

I agree with that. It would have been a learning experience for Fina, who wants to use water magic, to see it.

But, in Fina’s case, was it enough to produce the water needed for dismantling work?

Then Cliff, having heard what we had to say, left the room, and we also concluded our magic lesson for the day. Noa looked disappointed, but it was not a good idea to overdo it, and it was only the first day.

I reminded Noa and Fina not to use magic for the rest of the day.

In the current situation, we need to know how much magic they could restore, so it would be better not to overuse magic.

Fina and I left the mansion, promising to return tomorrow.

As I walked Fina home, I asked her what I wanted to ask while walking.

“How can you use the bear phone? You said you can’t gather magic, right?” (Yuna)

“It’s the same as using other magic stones. If I touch and imagine it, I can talk to you, Yuna-oneechan.” (Fina)

“Then you weren’t intentionally pouring magic power into it, were you?” (Yuna)

It seems to be the same as the light switch in the room.

When you touch the magic stone, it’ll pass through the magic line and light up the room. The tunnels in Mereera were similar.

But the bear phone needs to connect with the other bear phone by adding images of “connecting” and “talking”.

Think again about magical power.

Magic was a mysterious thing the more I thought about it. I used to use it as such in games, and in this world, I used it as something like I did in games without paying attention to it. Until now, I had never thought about what magic power was.

Still, is magical power close to static electricity?

Even if you have static electricity in your body, you cannot feel it normally. Even if you try it, you cannot gather it intentionally. Of course, if there’s a medium, it’ll be possible.

When you think about it, magic may be similar to static electricity.

Thinking like that does not mean there’s an answer, or I can come up with one. There’s no use in thinking too deeply about magic. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, so there is no need to worry about the details.

The next day, I came to Noa’s house with Fina. And just like yesterday, we practiced light magic in the dark basement room.

“It’s brighter than it was yesterday.” (Noa)

It certainly is brighter than yesterday.

“Noa-sama, you’re amazing.” (Fina)

“You haven’t practiced or anything since yesterday, have you?” (Yuna)

Cliff has also warned her not to use magic too much.

“No, I didn’t.” (Noa)

Noa looked away and gave an obvious look.

“You did, didn’t you” (Yuna)

“U~u, I did use it, but I didn’t practice. I was just happy to be able to use magic at night when I went to bed, so I just used a little bit of it.” (Noa)

When Noa spoke honestly, Fina also opened her mouth.

“Well, actually, I was so happy that I also used magic in front of Mom. I’m sorry, Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

Well, it amazed me when I cast a magic spell for the first time in the game world. I really felt like a mage.

Because flames and water come out of my hands. I will never forget how impressed I was at that moment. So I understand how happy Noa and Fina are to be able to cast a magic spell for the first time. So I can’t really scold them.

“Just do it in moderation.” (Yuna)

They both replied.

“Yuna-san, light magic is fine, but is it okay to use other magic?” (Noa)

I need to check the other magic to see which attributes they’re good at. But it’s only the second day. I think they should practice light magic a little more.

“For now, we will practice light magic. Light magic seems to be the best way to practice gathering magic power and imagery.” (Yuna)

And unlike other magic, it’s easy to practice.

“Okay, but how bright do I need it to be?” (Noa)

“Hmm, If you can do this much, you’ll pass.” (Yuna)

I created a dazzling light. The bear’s face glowed brightly like a flare.

“Yuna-san, it’s too bright.” (Noa)

Noa and Fina covered their eyes with their hands.

“I can’t do that. Besides, I don’t need to use such bright magic.” (Noa)

“It’s useful. And I’d rather you two learn this magic first than other magic.” (Yuna)

I put out the light

“But why?” (Noa)

“If anyone attacked you, you can use this magic to blind them.” (Yuna)

It’s a common technique to block an opponent’s vision with a blinding flash of light. Even in my former world, flashlights were an effective tool. Whether it’s night or day, if they suddenly received a blinding flash of light in their eyes, they would close their eyes, and yet it would not restore their vision immediately. On the subject of attacking sight, I think it’s effective for both people and monsters.

However, if you overdo it, you may blind your opponent permanently, but if you care that much about your attacker, you can’t use magic.

First of all, it’s more important to protect yourself.

The best thing, of course, is not to be in that situation in the first place.

“Certainly, it’s so bright that you can’t keep your eyes open, we can escape that way.” (Noa)

“You two are adorable, you just have to be careful.” (Yuna)

They will grow up to be beautiful and pretty. There’s no need to have self-defense magic to protect themselves.

“So it won’t be a waste of time to learn it.” (Yuna)

“Okay.” (Noa)

“Yes, I will do my best.” (Fina)

They nodded obediently and continued practicing light magic.

But next time, I’ll have them practice other magic as well.
