13 Episode 13: Its named after the injury. (1/2)

A few days after I got caught up in the kidnapping incident.

Since then, Suu and I have been seeing each other frequently ...... and have become friends.

The reason I was able to get to know her so quickly was not only her friendliness, but also the fact that we had something in common. Suu and I can talk about magic at the same level, and she has the ability to construct her own original spells, so it is easy for us to talk about such things.

In the first place, she also seems to be quite fond of magic and has knowledge of magic that Arx does not know.

That's why we decided to study magic together when we have free time.

(I can't speak for others either, but he's a strange kid...)

(I can't speak for anyone else, but he's a strange kid.) A kid this age is usually out playing around, but he's actively studying, and not just in his free time.

Magical study is not as much fun as normal study because of the visible results, but it is still different.

I wonder if this is what they call ”friends call friends” in the men's world.

Anyway, it was nice for Arx to have a friend to study with.

It's hard to find a friend with whom you can mutually improve.

I can't say that I am always pecked on the cheek or told that I have a pretty face.

Anyway, on this day, Arx was struggling with the mark in his room in Raytheft's mansion.

With a bottle filled with magic silver, a case filled with pigments, and a notebook with [arts glyphs], he confronted the engraver.

As I have recently learned, engraving with hot magic power made by refining magic power is much better.

Since the kidnapping, I have been actively working on refining magic power and controlling it so that I can control it in case of emergency.

When handling it, you have to control it more closely than normal magic, so you have to concentrate all the time, but the fact that the effect is enhanced is great. In light of this, it is likely that the original engraving method did not bring out the full effect of the spell.

This is my own new discovery, albeit a humble one.

(...... Someone may have already found it, though.)

I'm a little bit happy these days that something I initially thought was a failure turned out to be a success.

I was carving the engraving, feeling inwardly elated.

Suddenly, a voice called out to me from behind.

”Brother?

What?

I was so focused that I did not notice the visitor.

The surprise created a hole in his concentration and he lost control of his magic. He managed to protect the small sword in his hand, but the magical silver flew all around.

Droplets of magic silver scattered around the area, reflecting the light brightly.

Lisha, the one who had taken him by surprise, hurriedly began to gather up the blown up items.

And then.

”I'm sorry, brother!

”Oh, no. It's okay. It's okay.

I didn't know this was gonna happen. ......

Yeah, it usually does. Hahaha ......

The fact that it blew up was mostly due to my own inexperience, so I feel bad when people apologize.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

...... Two years ago, he still had a lisp, but now he speaks fluently and his language is very good.

It is essential for mages who need to chant spells correctly to be able to move their tongues smoothly, and it is also essential to acquire common language in order to learn [arts glyphs] and [ancient arts language]. This is probably the result of his education as the heir to a military noble family.

She now prefers to wear her silver hair in a ponytail with a blue ribbon.

Her sideburns are long. Her eyes look sleepy. She is a little smaller than Arx.

She is wearing a white blouse, a blue skirt with frills, and sock garters.

Risha tilts her head up and looks into my face.

Is it the Mark again today?

Yes.

You're very studious, my brother. You've already done it.
