TN: Sorry for the weird PoV that sometimes changes from 3rd person to 1st person.
This is supposed to be in 3rd person(in my opinion) but some sentences are written in 1st person (Maybe someone who can read Japanese can help me)âŚ
This weird PoV may continue in a later chapterâŚ
The next day at breakfast, Daphne handed me a book on magic.
Incidentally, Sam is taking his meals with Daphne and Derrick.
Apparently, an incompetent boy with no talent for the sword is not qualified to sit around the table with his fathers.
(Well, that makes me feel better⌠but itâs hard when Daphne and Derrick look at me with moist eyes, feeling sorry for me.)
When Derrick, the butler, saw Samâs joy at being given the magic book, he cried, lamenting the treatment of the young boy, as did Daphne.
Daphne cried again, and when Sam struggled to make them stop crying, it seemed to make him look like aă good kid ăand she shed more tears, which created a funny cycle.
âââDonât get desperate even if you donât have any magical talent.
Daphne and Derrick said such things to Sam, as if they had thought of that just in case.
Perhaps they were worried about how shocked the boy, who had hope in magic, would be if he didnât have any magical talent.
As for Sam, he would just think of another way if he couldnât use magic, so he just smiled and said,ă Youâre overreacting. ă
Human beings have their weaknesses.
Even if you donât have a talent for magic, you will find something that suits you if you are looking for it.
(Now that Iâve been reincarnated into another world, letâs look and move forward.)
Not that he is optimistic, but Sam tries to think positively.
When Sam returned to his room, he opened his magic book and started reading.
Fortunately, thanks to his memory, he can read, so itâs not hard for him.
In fact, he was more than happy to gain new knowledge.
(First of all, itâs important to know if I have the aptitude to be a wizard. No matter how much I want to be a magician, I canât use magic if I donât have the essential magical power.)
Wanted to use magic, and with that single-mindedness, Sam lost himself in reading the book.
And a few hours passed quickly.
ă âŚAfter all, you have to have magic in your body to use it. ă
The contents of the magic book were interesting.
In this world, wizards are rare, and those who can control magic to some extent are rare.
It turns out that adventurers and wizards in the service of the state are a rare existence, a handful of people with magic power, although there are superiority and inferiority from top to bottom.
ă Iâm starting to get a little nervous⌠In a world where there are so few people with magic, I wonder if I conveniently have it? ă
If he did, he wondered if his father would have noticed and developed his talent earlier.
But he quickly shook his head.
Samâs father, Carius, was not that kind of person.
In his mind, a son is only a person who can use a sword or not.
Even if Sam had magical powers and a certain talent as a wizard, he would not be interested in him.
Sam already had no expectations of his father.
The same was true for the boy Sam before he became the Sam he is today.
The only family that mattered to Samuel was Daphne and Derrick.
ă I guess thereâs no point in thinking about it. If I follow this book, I can tell if I have magic or not by casting a simple spell, right? ă
Itâs a simple method, but if you have magic power, you can cast simple magic, and use that to determine.
Magic association has a magic tool that can measure the magic power, but there is no way that a small noblemanâs house in the countryside can have such a fancy tool.
ă Well, what againâŚ? Even if I donât see results once or twice, keep persevering. How many times do I have to try to be persistent? ă
Itâs not always easy to succeed with even basic magic.
This does not mean that you donât have magic power, but the book says that you need to try several times.
However, it seems that how many times you should try depends on the person, and how many times you should try to conclude seems to be vague.
ă Thereâs no point in worrying about it. Letâs give it a try. ă
Sam is getting nervous.
Itâs no exaggeration to say that the future of your life in another world will be determined by your magical ability.
Whether you can become a wizard, or whether you have no talent and have to look for something else, depends on the next result.
(Oh no, Iâm so nervous my stomach is starting to hurt.)
My hands start to shake as I hold the book.
ă Donât freak out, letâs do this! ă
Scolding himself for drowning out his anxiety, Sam held up his index finger.
He took a deep breath and wished for the magic to come out.
And then he chanted.
ă âââLet there be fire. ăš
What came out of the boyâs mouth was the first step in the process of fire magic.
Even if he succeeded, he would only be able to light a small fire at his fingertips.
But,
âââ*Roar!*
A pillar of fire rose from Samâs finger with a sound.
