43 CHAPTER III -- The Magic Class (1/2)

Third period is a magical lesson.

Hermann and I were able to get into the classroom just as class was about to start.

In the classroom, a slender man was already standing at the podium.

”Well, since it looks like no one will be absent, let's get started.

Saying that, the teacher took out a lot of magic stones from the big bag he brought with him and handed some to the person in front of the first seat in a group .

Gentlemen, please take one of these and give it to the person in the back. But please leave it on the desk as soon as you get it.

They did as they said and took a magic stone and put it behind me.

When I held the magic stone that was given to me, I felt a little uncomfortable.

That strange feeling is ...... a little bit, but I feel as if this magic stone is absorbing my magic power.

I'll teach you how to use it later, so please don't touch it now.

The teacher was warning the boy who was touching the magic stone.

I hurriedly put it on the desk.

Then, after making sure everyone had put the magic stone on the desk, the teacher began to speak.

”I'm Herondas and I'll be teaching a lesson on magic. Thank you very much.

After the greeting, the teacher magically made water for his hand.

''This is water magic. To make it, you need two things. Can you guess what they are?

And after a pause.

'Most people know you need magic. Then guess what the other one is?　You over there?

Uh, um, aptitude magic?

The student who was pointed to answered unsurely.

''Yes, aptitude magic. Without it, you can't use magic in any way. For example, I don't have the attribute of fire so I definitely can't make fire. In this case, I had water magic, so I was able to make water.

Aptitude magic is different for each person. For example, Princess, could you tell me what your attributes are?

Well, he has no attributes and can use water, lightning, ice and charm magic.

That's great. So long, my dear.

Now he pointed to Hermann .

''Well, I'm .... Only unattributed magic.

Herman said, looking down.

Then.

He had been so kind to me before, and then he changed.

Oh, you poor thing, you must have a very dull life from now on.

The doctor looked down at Herman.

'Wait!　Why would you deny me life based on unattributed magic alone?

I was so pissed off that I couldn't help but protest to the teacher.

'You're Mr. Leons, right?　I've heard of you.

He grinned disgustingly.

”So what?

Don't you get it?　Then I'll tell you. Attribute free magic is junk magic. I've never seen anyone who can do non-attribute magic before.

'No, it's not! There are people who can use it.

In fact, not only me, but Sherry and Lina could use it.

''Oh, was the brave one able to use it?　It doesn't matter. The brave men were special. Ordinary people can't use them.

No, I'm sure you can do it if you work hard.

This guy really pisses me off: .......

'Well, you can only hope so . Since the only attributes you have are non-attribute and creation magic, ...... you'd like to be able to use non-attribute magic that still has some hope. Yeah, yeah, poor thing.

...... How did you know that?

Is my aptitude magic famous?

'What?　Well known among the nobility. The Forster family is now incompetent.

Is that what people are talking about?

Incompetent?

You're incompetent: ...... If you call that incompetent, what's competent about it: .......

”Oh, incompetence!　Oh, sorry guys.

The teacher looked at the students who were not following the conversation and returned to their original attitudes.

''Okay, let me briefly explain what we're talking about now . First of all, let's talk about non-attribute magic, it is said to be a magic that strengthens the body, but most people can't use it . So if you only have attributeless magic, give up on life. Then there's creation magic . This is a unique skill and is rare, but it is said to be an incompetent magic because it can't build anything .

and

Yeah, poor thing.

The teacher looked at me and Hermann and said .

(As my grandfather and dad said, the nobility really is a world where aptitude magic is all that matters.)

I listened to what the teacher said and realized it.

'Well then, I'll use the ones I just handed out, so please take them.

The teacher is showing you the magic stone he just dealt you.

”This is similar to a magic stone, but it's a little different. This is a magical tool that has been modified from the magic stone to absorb magic power.

''The more magic power you use, the more it grows. This magic tool is a tool to help you grow your magic power efficiently.

And it's easy to use. Hold it tightly.

After saying that, the teacher grabbed the magic stone.
