140 Another Story: Cursed Lady Speaks Out 01 (2/2)

”... impossible, is it taught?

Answer a question from Tilty as Priscilla frowns just a little. Priscilla's answer was the same for Charne and Monica.

The number of magical aptitudes is one of the statuses for the nobility. That is why we first explore the attributes that can be handled by ourselves with the aptitude test being carried out. If this number is high, it is considered excellent, but there are exceptional exceptions that remain only aptitude for the attributes of the wind, as Silphine, mother of Anisphere and queen of the predecessor.

Silphine is famous for wind magic, and she bears the most powerful name in the kingdom. Therefore, although the number of magical aptitudes is not absolute, it is assumed that it has never been exceeded.

”The answer is both right and wrong.”

”What!?”

That's why Charne was surprised by Tilty's response to Priscilla's answer. Ignoring such a Charne surprise, Tilty began his commentary.

”Certainly it's not like you can make compatibility with spirits that aren't suitable from the beginning, acquired. There's just one pit.”

”Pitfalls......?

”Yep. I think you found out about your fitness in the test... what's so important about using magic?

”... can you draw a detailed image of magic,?

Charne answers Tilty's question with no confidence. What is important to use magic is to refine the magic image and whether it can be conveyed to the Spirit. If the image is delivered correctly, the Spirit gives power as magic.

An unsuitable attribute for Charne is such a feeling that the details of that image do not float or engage. Even if it could be used, it's easy to consume magic compared to the attributes you're good at.

”Yes, I wonder if I can paint a detailed image of magic, but there are two stages here.”

”Is it two stages?

Tilty nods as she stands two fingers.

”The first stage is the suitability I just said. You can't even climb up there in the first place, it's a difficult stage to use. And the next step is ignorance.”

”... ignorance or not?

”There's a big difference between not being able to use it at all and not being good at using it. So, it's this” usable but not good ”guy who gets caught up in my view with less aptitude attributes. Surprisingly, you can say it's rare that you can't use it at all.

”... but isn't the result the same that you can't use it? Then I think you should grow your attributes.”

Ask Tilty with Priscilla's frowning expression. Tilty snorted at Priscilla's response.

”That's why people who don't get a proper education are biased in their attributes. Even if I was biased originally, I need to be aware of it properly and accurately. I'm running away with the easier ones right away. I certainly don't like what I don't like, it's not like I can change it acquired. But it's not what you understand, not what you understand.”

”... why is that?

Monica asks as she raises her hand against Nanny and Tilty. In Monica's inquiry Tilty takes the paper and draws a circle there containing the six light stars.

”This is due to the phenomenon of light emission, commonly observed when using magic.” It's often applied to magic props as well... Why do you think they're painted on the Six Lights?

”... coincidence?

”Fool.”

”Aww.”

Tilty was a little, and when he lowered his finger, a small-scale wind hammer struck Monica in the head, answering. Monica is keeping her head down with a few tears in her eyes.

”Well, I'm not wrong,”

”Then why did you slap him?!?”

”Because it is necessary for a wizard to think about it. When using magic, the Spirit develops a luminescent phenomenon, which has the nature to portray the magic formation of this six-mounted star. It is thought that these six stars may reveal the attributes of their spirits.”

”It's a six-mounted star, so you mean the Spirit of Light, Darkness, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind?

”That's right. Although some spirits of the subspecies, it is definitely only a consequence of degeneration and belongs to one of the six attributes. In other words, we can also say that this six-mounted star pictures the world. The Spirit is the image of the world, and magic is the art of freely manipulating the Spirit.”

Unexpectedly, there was zero breath of admiration from Charne, Priscilla and Monica. It's not the same story as knowing that you think it's something like that and why it's happening.

”The magic lies in knowing the nature of the Spirit. What can and cannot be done? It is taste and knowledge that determines the wizard's skill. So those who are ignorant tend to bias their magical aptitude.” It is usable but not usable ”and there are such cases. That's why we need education.”

”As long as it takes...”

”- And this story is pointless at the same time. If you don't think it's necessary, you can forget it.”

'... Yes?

It was the moment when the voices of Charne, Priscilla and Monica, who were impressed, matched perfectly.

”Shall I say it up again? Eventually, this class will be meaningless.”

”Mm, isn't that inconsistent...?

”Yes, it's a contradiction. - Magic, that's what it is. It's a class to find out.”

”... I don't know what you mean. I would like a specific explanation.”

Priscilla stares at Tilty with her face on the boulder. Tilty snorts against such Priscilla.

”You're right, because it doesn't make sense”

”If it doesn't make sense, isn't it futile to tell?

”No, I'm not. What doesn't make sense and what doesn't is magically the same thing.”

”Huh...?

”Charne, you said that magically the most important thing is to paint a detailed image, right? That's why this class makes sense and it's pointless. But it's not for nothing. Because it's important for you to know. You said I was pointless, but you were confused because you thought my story made sense, right?

”... if you can tell me that you are, I think it's natural to think that you are”

”Hmm. Okay? Remember.”

Tilty said away as if to mock Priscilla, who said dissatisfied.

”That's where you stop at the stage where you're using magic in the sales of other people's ideas. There is nothing we can do about the existence of natural aptitude. But only you can define magic as” what is it? ”Thoughts of others are beneficial, but they are meant to sharpen your mind. It is not useless to accumulate knowledge. It's just pointless if you're just going to imitate that idea. - That's magic.
