Chapter 2 (1/2)

oodbye and take care!”

After eating that nostalgic breakfast, I remembered from what mother said that I had to go to school.

Regrettably, now I have to go to school . Come to think of it, I wonder if there are any schools that teach magic in the capital.

Incidentally, the cla.s.ses here are feared by children for certain reasons.

Upon exiting the house, a nostalgic scenery could be seen before me.

Here, the city of Nanami is a good city dwelling inside a good country.

Even after I grew up and left, I still came back here many times because I missed it.

Oh man, the tears are flowing again.

Anyway let’s go!

– To release the magic lines.

Outside, I was in a place somewhere in between the hills and the school.

Since, releasing the magic lines will take quite a bit of concentration and time.

Magic lines spread throughout the entire body of the mage, they are literally lines that magic pa.s.s through.

The magic of a talented mage is thick, so it has to be spread evenly throughout the body.

However, my magic lines are now in a dormant state, it’s not possible to channel magic through them.

For those who aspire to become mages, normally you ask another mage to release the magic lines for you, but while meditating, I can open them up myself if I try.

It’s the second time I’ve done this after all, there shouldn’t be any problems.

I climbed a tree and scouted the area before hand, to make sure the coast was clear.

I sat down on a tree branch and closed my eyes, concentrating on my spirit.

Feeling something wash over my body, I could feel my magic lines opening one by one.

This was delicate work, I could feel the sweat from my forehead dripping down my face while concentrating.

I continued to open my magic lines one by one, and by the time I was done my body was all sweaty.

Heaving a huge breath, all the strength left my body, and I almost slipped and fell.

…I forgot that I was on a tree.

After catching my breath, I concentrated on the magic lines, and found magic flowing through them smoothly.

Now it’s time to use magic.

With my hand held out in front of me, I imagined a red ball.

Then small magic ball of flames was born, it looked fluffy and was floating at about eye level.

The fire was moving oddly.

If I stopped supplying magical power, the red ball would dematerialize.

The magic consumed about a tenth of my magic power.

Ordinary rookie mages would at most only be able to cast red ball three times. Another way to put it would be that if the other children here became mages that’s what they’d be like.

“It wasn’t useless in the end.”

It won’t be the same as it was before.

The sun was just past its noon point.

Come to think of it, I’m actually really hungry now.

It was time to eat the lunch packed by mom anyway.

The me of the future read many scrolls on magic, I think I read almost everything published at the time.

Although I can barely use magic now, I’ll learn more as the growth level increases.

Though it wasn’t as delicious as it would’ve been fresh, the bulging belly of my child sized body was satisfied.

Oh yeah, since my magic power has recovered somewhat, why don’t I use scout scope?
