Volume 1 Chapter 7 (1/2)
Everyone's Magic
I concentrated my magical power, and formed【Anti-wall】at my feet.
I stepped on it and launched myself into the air.
Before I lose my momentum, I form【Anti-wall】in the direction I'm moving large enough to engulf my entire body.
The transparent walls wrap around me and then eject my forward.
Repeating this, it appeared like I was using flying or jumping magic. I continued to fly freely through the sky.
”Am-amazing….”
”Kero…..”
The faces of two astonished people enter my vision.
I confirm that I have enough speed and proceed to the next stage.
I continuously cast traps as I speed forward in the air.【Thunder Trap】,【Eternal Ice】,【Hidden Flames】,【Earth Spike】, and【Raging Wind】all cast in quick succession.
Colorful thunder, fire, ice, earth, and wind magic scattered out from me.
”…..So, it's something like this.”
After landing I said this to everyone that had become silent.
”Two, three, four….five types!? That's ridiculous!”
”My entire body is overflowing in surprise kero….”
”So you could use more magic than what you used that day!? That was amazing!”
Three people expressed their amazement to me.
Even Bagiran's stern face is warped from surprise.
However, I'm feeling surprised at how shocked they all are with my magic.
“No, in addition to this, I can also use the【Complete Recovery】for healing and【False Shadow】to conceal myself, but….”
After hearing this, Luluna furrowed her brow.
”…..Lute, are you really human?”
”That much!?”
This really is strange.
Something that I consider to be normal, they're amazed by…….
I turn to ask Bagiran about my worries.
”Sensei, this isn't normal?”
Bagiran goes back to his normal stern face, and shakes his head.
“Normal? Normally, one person can only use a single type of magic. Though, there are exceptions and some people can use two or more types of magic, but I'd guess there's at most five people in the country that can do this.”
”I only use one type of magic. Trap magic.”
”I really can't believe that……The examination is very thorough, there's no doubt…”
Bagiran said this quietly to himself.
“Was trap magic such a useful magic……I thought that it was a weaker type of earth magic…….”
Then, Tsurugi said this.
……As expected.
I am convinced.
Apparently the magic level of this country…….No, the magic level of this world, is much lower than I had imagined.
Well, even if, to them, my magic is so abnormal, I still think Sensei is very strong.
To be honest, I’m not sure I'd be able to win against Sensei in a real fight.
Not just Sensei either, Luluna and others near her level would be a difficult fight.
”Throw away everything and become the strongest,” that's never really how I've thought. Though, it would never be a waste of time to become stronger.
Thinking about this, I still have a long way to go.

”Alright, I'll go next.”
Tsurugi has decided to go up next.
I sat down and looked toward Tsurugi.
Tsurugi pulls out one of the swords she has on her hip, the muscles on her back flexed before she threw the blade into the air.
The sword flies up in an arc, as it reaches its peak, it begins to fall — or it should have.
The sword was floating in the air.
To be more accurate, the way it's floating is as if someone is holding the sword.
“This is my magic, metal magic. Quite simply, it is a magic that allows me to manipulate metals. As I am still inexperienced, I can only control something around the size of a katana, but I am able to control it to this degree. Allow me to show you!”
After saying this, Tsurugi began to throw more of the swords she had on her waist into the air one after another.
In total, the number was twelve.
As two columns of katanas float above her, the kimono girl stood there alone.
Tsurugi held the thirteenth sword in both of her hands as she looked towards us with eyes full of confidence.
”My ability to control magic may be lower than everyone else. My magical power may also be inferior to everyone else, but……I still feel like I would never lose to anyone. I swore an oath to these thirteen swords, that I would become the greatest adventurer!”
Saying this, Tsurugi then raises both arms in the sky and swings them down.
The twelve floating blades all came down in unison in front of Tsurugi.
“That's the spirit, Tsurugi. If you do your best with that att.i.tude, someday you will become just like me.”
” —! There are no words to describe how thankful I am to hear you say this! I'll be sure to work diligently!”
After hearing Bagiran's praise, Tsurugi was in a very good mood.
Tsurugi becoming like Bagiran……..I don't want something like that…….
I imagined Tsurugi's face on Bagiran's body, I did my best to hide the look of disgust on my face.

”Kerokerokero —”
It seems like Patricia has decided to go next.
Honestly, I can't even imagine what kind of magic this frog girl uses.
”My magic isn't particularly dangerous kero. So, please, watch it with ease kero — ”
Patricia says this and crouches. She begins to collect the soil using her hand as a scoop.
…..Why is she doing that?
