Kain, Mili, and Nina walked down the road together.
Kain, being outside for the first time, walked while looking around.
After walking for about an hour, Mili, who was leading the way, stopped.
"With this distance, we can also do magic training."
They left the road and walked into a grassland area.
"Let's practice here."
"Mili, before that, let's have lunch."
Due to the extra time spent at the Adventurer's Guild, the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky.
"Right. Let's eat before training."
Mili took out three lunch boxes from her backpack.
"I had the inn where we always stay make the lunch boxes. The food there is delicious."
"Yeah, the food at the Azure Silver Falcon Inn is the best."
Nina agreed.
"That sounds great!"
"Just don't eat until you can't move."
Saying that, she handed over the lunch boxes.
When Kain opened the lunch box, there were several types of sandwiches inside.
He tried one.
"This is really delicious."
Nina, seeing Kain start to eat quickly, used magic to fill a cup with water and handed it to him.
"Swallowing too quickly can cause you to choke."
"Thank you, Nina."
Kain took the cup and washed down what was in his mouth.
"It's convenient that Nina can use water magic. I can only use fire magic and body strengthening, so my main focus is swordsmanship."
"...Mili is a brainy type."
"Shut up!"
Kain smiled wryly at their good teamwork.
"Let's start training then."
"Yes! Teacher Mili."
"Kain, let's start with water magic. Aim at that rock over there."
She pointed to a rock about 20 meters away.
"Understood. Teacher Nina."
Kain got into position and extended his right hand.
'Water Ball'
A water ball about one meter in size was launched.
"Next, fire magic."
'Fire Ball'
Another ball of fire about one meter in size was launched.
"Next, earth magic."
'Rock Bullet'
A small rock appeared and flew towards the rock, hitting and shattering it. Wind also flowed from his palm towards the rock.
"There are no particular problems with the basic magic. I'd like to see the intermediate magic. Try the ones you like."
'Rock Spikes'
Several rock spikes rose from the ground in front of the rock.
"Next, let's use fire magic."
'Fire Wall'
A wall five meters high and ten meters wide was created, hitting the rock like a wave.
"It's hard to believe you're only five years old. Even among intermediate magic, the power is completely different."
"Exactly. Being able to use intermediate magic at five years old is just crazy. And the power is on a different level."
"Doesn't the fatigue from using less magic bother you?"
"Not at all."
"Your magic power is also top-notch."
Mili and Nina were amazed.
At that moment, the nearby grass rustled.
"Nina!!"
"I know."
"Kain, there's something nearby. Be careful."
Kain instinctively got into position.
A rabbit with horns appeared from the grass.
"It's a Horned Rabbit. There seems to be only one, so Kain, try to take it down with magic?"
"Yes! I really want to try."
"Since the leather and meat can be sold, don't use fire magic."
"Understood."
Kain got into position to face the Horned Rabbit.
Hmm. Which magic should I use? I'll go with wind magic.
'Air Bullet'
The air bullet flew quickly and hit the Horned Rabbit directly. It fell and convulsed before dying.
"Done!"
"Not bad for your first time."
"Kain, it's good to take the Horned Rabbit back as it is."
"Is that okay? I want to show it to Mother and my older sister."
Kain approached the Horned Rabbit and stored it in his item box.
"Having an item box is really convenient. I want one too. I'll buy a magic bag when I save up enough."
"Is there such a thing as a magic bag? I've never heard of it before."
"It's sold at a magic item shop that has rare spatial magic properties. The price varies greatly depending on the storage capacity."
That's good to know. An item box is rare, but a magic bag can be obtained with money. I noted in my mind that it could be camouflaged to avoid drawing attention.
"Let's try to find a few more and hunt them. Nina, can you search?"
"Sure, I'll try."
Nina held her staff and chanted a spell.
"I seek. Find the enemies near me. Search."
"There seem to be a few around 300 meters from here."
"Teacher Nina! What was that magic?"
"I searched for creatures with magic power. It's like spreading magic power thinly and widely. However, I can't clearly determine their strength."
Having magic is really convenient. I'll try to spread my magic power thinly and widely.
"I seek. Find the enemies near me. Search."
I could sense the presence of creatures in the direction Nina mentioned.
"Teacher Nina! I did it! I sensed five creatures."
"...Normally, it can't be done in one try. And usually, you can only sense the direction, not the number."
Nina sighed.
"Kain, you need to accept that you're exceptional. Let's go hunting."
Mili was eager to hunt. They approached the creatures quietly.
"There are five, so Mili and I will take two each. Can you handle one, Kain?"
"No problem!"
Mili cast Body Strengthening on herself and ran.
Wow, she's fast. Faster than an Olympic sprinter, she approached the Horned Rabbit and slashed with her sword. The Horned Rabbit was beheaded without any resistance.
"I'll take one down too."
'I seek. Let the blade of wind cut through. Vacuum Blade'
Nina's magic flew straight towards the Horned Rabbit and beheaded it. Kain also approached the one he was assigned to.
I'll just imagine it. Imagine a vacuum blade.
'Vacuum Blade'
The vacuum blade, released from his hand, flew towards the Horned Rabbit. It didn't hit the neck but split the body in two. The battle ended in just a few minutes.
"A Horned Rabbit is no problem. Let's quickly bleed them out. Wolves will be attracted by the smell."
They dug a hole and drained the blood.
Once the blood was drained, they stored the Horned Rabbits in the item box.
"Let's head back. We'll be scolded by the lord if we're late."
"Right. I think they're worried since it's my first time outside."
They gathered their things and prepared to return.
The three of them walked back the same way.
"From the outside, the capital looks big. The walls are high too."
"After passing the fortress town from the empire, the next town is this one. And there are many monsters in the forest. A few decades ago, a large flood occurred, and hundreds of monsters appeared."
"I'll check the library when we get back."
The three of them talked as they reached the gate.
They showed their cards to the gatekeeper and entered.
"To enter, you need to show either an Adventurer's Guild card or a resident tag."
"I don't have anything to prove my identity."
"It's fine. I've already explained to the lord that you're his son."
"That's a relief."
They walked through the town and arrived at the lord's mansion.
"That's it for today. Let's go to the grassland again next time."
"Yes! It's fun to go outside."
"See you, Kain!"
"See you, Kain."
"Thank you for today. I look forward to the next time."
Kain opened the door and entered his house. He returned to his room and first took off his armor and changed clothes.
"Today was fun. I don't think I'll level up since I only took down two Horned Rabbits."
I'll check just in case. I used magic.

Why did I start at level 1 in the morning and am already at level 8? I only took down two Horned Rabbits!
And the increase in HP and MP is also strange.
They said 10,000 for a court magician...
I'm going to be recognized as a non-human even more!!
