smart.
As soon as I heard a knock, I immediately ran out to the front door.
Then, after adjusting his clothes once, he opened the door and saw a small human figure standing in front of him.
“Oh, hey, how are you?”
An impressive boy with rich brown curly hair. Although there were traces of her youth, her face was not very different from the one I remember.
Looking at the slightly wary expression, I lowered my head lightly with the most blunt face.
“Nice to meet you. He is called Erbin, the father of Rize.”
Although Martin was quite young, he was still treated with respect as Rize’s teacher.
In the end, there was a bit of intention to draw a line even to the role of Rize’s magic teacher, but it was a natural thing to do no matter who the opponent was.
Martin was a little taken aback by my greeting, then lowered his head.
“nice to see you. It’s not enough, but it’s Martin de Chambers, who is in charge of Miss Lise’s tutor. Uh, uh, I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Irvin.”
Even though the impressions are different, they are so different.
It will be around 4-5 years before Martin officially leaves the Wizard’s Tower.
Martin at that time was a cheeky kid full of pride beyond confidence.
The Martin in front of me was polite enough to wonder if it was the same person.
Could it be that his personality has become that way because he is really confined to the Wizard’s Tower?
In this case, I had no choice but to give extra points to the score for Martin.
“You are still young, but I heard that your magic skills are excellent. I never thought that you would send such a precious person to teach Rize.”
“No, I am in a position to learn. On the contrary, I am glad that Rize student followed my lack of education well.”
what the heck, who is he really?
It seemed like a momentary cognitive dissonance would come.
The face is obviously the same, but the sound that comes out of the mouth is completely different. Really, the score kept going up, but I couldn’t let my guard down.
There was no possibility that this appearance was acting.
“Come in at once. I want to see you in class.”
“Yes, excuse me.”
The ridiculous sight of the well-mannered Martin was astounding, but it was something that could be overlooked for the sake of Lise’s education.
When we went inside together, Rize, who had been waiting calmly in the living room, jumped up and bowed politely.
“hello teacher?”
“Hello, Rize?”
Who carelessly calls Rize’s name pretending to be friendly?
It’s a huge deduction for nothing to see.
As it was in front of Rize, Martin was grinding his teeth inwardly, and Martin sat across from Rize and opened the book.
“Today, since my father is here, I will review and explain again.”
who is the father
Before the words came out of his mouth, he held them back and opened his mouth with an effortless smile.
“Wait before that, would you mind doing one thing?”
“Yes, that is fine.”
“From what I’ve heard, Lize says she hasn’t seen you use magic yet.”
“Ah, that… … .”
Martin, who suddenly seemed to be choosing something to say, lightly reached out his hand and added a few words.
“I am not complaining about the educational process. It’s just that I don’t have much chance to see Rize or magic. That’s why I thought that Rize would have more fun when she sees her using magic herself.”
As I said, Rize’s eyes were already shining.
After all, no matter how much I tried to explain something with one hundred days of theory, it was just worse than showing it in person. In addition, just seeing that kind of thing will give you a goal right away.
Martin also glanced at Rize’s face full of anticipation and immediately nodded.
“Oh, I was negligent. So let me show you a little bit. Uh, that, in case you don’t know where is the right place… … .”
“You use the backyard. Simple magic is fine.”
So we went out to the backyard together, and with Martin in the center, the three of us looked side by side with Martin at a distance.
In particular, perhaps because of Rise’s eyes full of anticipation, Martin hesitated with a slightly reddened face as if he was nervous, and then calmed down.
“Then, before we begin, let me briefly explain mana one more time.”
It was just a demonstration, but Martin tried to stick to the tutor.
Why did such a kid change so much?
“Mana is the power that makes up the world, and it is usually invisible and insubstantial. However, by forming a specific arrangement through a magic formula… … .”
Saying that, Martin slowly raised his hand with the palm facing up, and soon a white halo of light gathered over it like a ball of thread.
“You can make it into a form that you can see with your eyes like this.”
“Wow… … .”
It was a very simple thing, but Rize was genuinely impressed.
It was natural to be amazed that something like that was born out of nothingness. In addition, it contained quite a mystery even from the outside.
It seemed that such admiration was very embarrassing, Martin cleared his throat a couple of times and continued talking, trying hard not to look at Rize.
“But right now it just shows, it doesn’t mean much. So we create additional arrays to give mana properties and concrete forms.”
Right after that, the white spool of thread soon turned bright red and became a small flame that flicked his tongue.
The flame soon died down, and this time water formed in the air, froze and then dispersed, and was blown away by the wind.
The more he did, the more Rize’s admiration continued, to the point where the people watching from the side got even more excited.
Including the person who showed the magic.
“How would you like to do that? I’m going to burn down the house like this.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
Martin, who was making the flames dance with fever, finally came to his senses and removed the magic.
The magic Martin had shown so far had been flashy enough to catch Rize’s attention, so in fact they had little practical application. But that’s why they needed quite delicate mana manipulation.
It could be said that Martin’s abilities could be glimpsed as they were applied from classic magic.
Thanks to that, it seems that it has definitely caught Rize’s attention.
clap clap clap clap.
Rize clapped vigorously with a reddened face.
I had never received applause like that, so I was inadvertently jealous. If I had known this was going to happen, I should have remodeled my body to be able to learn magic right away.
Again, I had no choice but to lower the score for Martin.
Looking to the side, Irina seemed to be thinking the same thing, so when I nodded slightly, Irina also quickly nodded.
Martin, completely unaware of the significant deduction, scratched his head lightly, fixating his gaze on Rize.
Then, he looked at me once to see if something had come to his mind, and then turned his gaze back to Rize.
“Would you like to try Rize? Let me help you a little.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, I will!”
At Martin’s suggestion, Rize raised her hand and liked it.
Then he walked away and stood in front of Martin, looking up with round eyes, and Martin closed his mouth with a blushing face as if in surprise.
I fully sympathized with that feeling because I knew how destructive power Rize’s actions were.
“How are you doing?”
“Oh, yes, hold on.”
At Lize’s urging, Martin shook his head a couple of times as if coming to his senses, then took a step back and added his words.
“First of all, it is important to feel mana. Normally, it is common to do it in a room where mana is stored, but since I used some magic earlier, the mana concentration here should be a bit thick.”
“Feel it? how?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s hard to describe how it should feel. The sensory part is bigger than the theoretical part.”
“I feel the mana. feel… … ?”
Rize, who tilted her head, immediately closed her eyes and concentrated her mind.
As Martin said, the mana concentration here must have been higher than the surroundings due to the use of various magics, but… … Even when I closed my eyes, I couldn’t feel anything.
I can’t even feel mana, but I can’t use magic.
Fortunately, Irina, who was next to her, was in a similar situation.
On the other hand, Rize… … .
“miss… … !”
Irina, barely suppressing her emotional voice, lightly covered her mouth with her hand to avoid breaking her concentration.
I felt the same way, so I unknowingly clenched my fists.
Just like Martin did, on the hand of Rize, who lightly reached forward… … The skein of mana slowly began to sway.
Silver like hair.
It seemed that even Martin was quite surprised by the beauty.
It was difficult to judge her absolute talent for magic with just this, but I still wanted her to be my daughter.
practice rather than theory.
Because Rize had an excellent sense of doing something with her body.
And finally, Rize’s dark blue eyes opened with a twinkle, and she confirmed that it was on her hand.
“hehehe, pretty.”
Smiling innocently, Rize also took her gaze away from the silver thread she had made.
As I was silently holding that figure in my eyes forever, I heard a strange sound from the side and averted my gaze.
“… … Are you crying?”
“No, I’m crying.”
Tears flowed down from his eyes, riding down the hand that covered his mouth, but he was so shameless.
It was obvious who Irina was thinking of, so I looked at Rize again without bothering to say anything more.
Visualization of mana.
As I had also tried to learn magic, I knew it theoretically.
Although there were spells, it was more important to feel the presence of mana and control it with one’s own power.
Even so, there is no case where a person who did not even feel the existence of mana succeeds at once like this.
“uh? hmm… … .”
Rize, who had been watching for a while, tilted her head as if something was strange.
Then, frowning slightly, he struggled to do something, and turned to Martin as if he couldn’t.
“Sir, what should I do next?”
It seemed that he was trying to convert attributes like Martin had done.
It was very admirable, but as expected, Rize had no intention of stopping herself once she got excited.
If this continues, I’ll need some attention, but I’m just starting to learn, so it’s rather a good thing.
Martin, too, was dumbfounded by Rize’s sudden excessive enthusiasm, but soon smiled as if he was just cute.
No, see him?
“You can do that by studying hard now.”
“Oh, I see… … .”
At those words, Rize dyed her cheeks red as if she was slightly embarrassed.
Along with him, the silver thread slowly unraveled and melted into the air.
Martin, who had been watching it quietly, touched his chin lightly as if thinking about something, and then nodded.
“I was honestly surprised. This much for the first try… … . It will be hard to find a precedent even in the Mage Tower.”
“That sounds good to hear.”
“It would be good to divide education into half theory and half practice. I heard that there are people who first learn it with their body and supplement it with theory, but seeing it in person is even more amazing.”
Seeing that the education method was changed right away, it seemed that there was no blockage.
No, it was rather an itchy face at the thought of new education. He showed this kind of growth just by showing himself, so he must have felt the taste of teaching for the first time.
I also nodded because I thought that side would suit Rize.
Rize also seemed to be looking forward to it, her eyes shining with her fists clenched tightly together.
I glanced at Irina, who was still covering her eyes with her sleeve, and opened her mouth because she wanted to talk about the class policy.
“Ah, sir. Can I talk to you for a moment because of the class schedule?”
“yes I’m okay. For what?”
I motioned for Rize, put her in front of me, and politely asked for her understanding.
“We decided to go on a trip for a week next week. I hope you understand that I won’t be able to attend class then.”
“Yes, eh, yes?”
Martin had a very puzzled look on his face.
He was just trying to get closer to a woman he was interested in, but his face looked like he had been drafted into the army.
… … If this happened, would you like to go for about 2 weeks?
Martin seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn’t have a cause, so he just mumbled.
Yeah, I’m not stupid enough to interfere with a happy family trip.
As I was nodding my head with a satisfied expression, Rize suddenly threw out a word.
“Do you want to go with me too?”
Ms. Rize?
