Chapter 1: Time for Departure

「Vanguard is nice you know」

That was Edmonds House’s motto.

In fact, Laura’s parents were both vanguards at the time they were adventurers.

Father, Bruno is a swordsman.

Mother, Dora is a spearman.

The two paired as a duo, defeated a giant dragon, explore a dungeon, and were discovering new species of organisms.

They were already retired from the frontlines, but they are still getting rid of the monsters that appear near the town, and their skill weren’t dulled at all.

「Magic is a skill that a weak person uses. They are cowards that sneak behind us vanguards while fighting」

Bruno’s way of thinking was very biased, and if a normal adventurer would hear it he would be outraged.

But, Bruno and Dora really didn’t add a magician in their party after all, and did a lot of feat with only vanguards.

The A-Rank Adventurer husband and wife, that is still being talked about.

In front of that brilliant achievements, everyone would only be reticent.

Not that much like Bruno, but Dora has the same way of thinking.

That’s why, the two of them were not planning to make their daughter Laura to a magician. They weren’t thinking of it at all.

And Laura who grew up being whispered 「Vanguard is good you know」, also decided to be a swordsman like her father.

Register at an Adventurer’s Guild, and live by hunting monsters together with spearmen and axemen.

She believed that without any doubts.

But. Laura has one, a secret that she couldn’t tell anybody.

Although she only practiced a little, for some reason she was able to use magic.

She knew that, because of only curiosity.

When she was 3 years old, she took interest in the magic that was written in the picture book, and imagined about it with a light feeling.

Flames, appearーーshe thought.

As a result a ball of flame really appeared on the palm of her hands.

Laura knew that her Father and Mother despised magic. Magic is something evil.

And that abomination, she used it although it was only as a game.

Laura became frightened, entered her sheets and cried on it.

After that, not using magic at all,  she followed her father, Bruno, who was teaching her the sword, and worked hard by practicing earnestly.

Laura herself, liked the sword.

She knew that she was getting better each day.

And the one who rejoiced the most in the talent of the child, was Bruno after all.

But when she became 8 years old, she used magic again.

She saw an injured cat at the yard, and instinctively healed it with Recovery Magic.

Although she knew that she was going to be hated by her parents if they found out, she wasn’t able to leave the cat by itself.

And she wonders, why does she have talent on magic.

She didn’t knew all about magic, but without practice being able to release a ball of fire, heal a wound, isn’t it strange she thought.

No, that doesn’t matter.

I won’t use magic anymore.
