Chapter 10: Volume 1 - CH 10

Volume 1: The Light

The day after my talk with Serena, I was training with Master as usual.

“First of all, try starting with <<Let There Be Light>>.”

[T/N: From now on, I’ll just translate the spells directly and just put it like this <<tled spell name here>>]

“Yes!”

I concentrated the magic power in my right hand and prepared to cast the spell.

Then, out of nowhere, Serena appeared and approached me in a huff. I was worried but, I’m currently concentrating on the magic.

Master probably can’t see Serena, so if I react to her, he will think being I’m weird.

For now, I regained my composure and start the magic.

“<<Let There Be Light>>”

As soon as I said those words, Serena touched my right hand, which was filled with magic power.

She seemed to have sucked out the accumulated magic and then conjured light, which she then placed on the tip of my hand.

I guess this was always how she did it, I just didn’t see her doing it until now.

“Hmm, what’s the matter, callus, you look dazed?”

“I’m sorry, I’ll concentrate!”

“Un, now try moving the ball of light.”

Following Master’s instruction, I moved the light ball.

Magic is a joint effort between the Magician and spirit. What the Magician thinks in his or her head, the spirit takes it in, and only then is it reflected in the magic.

However, just a thought can only convey a vague idea, so a “spell” must be uttered.

If you want to move something, it can be conveyed just by thinking about it, but if you want to give more detailed and precise instructions, it is quicker to say it out loud.

“<<Divide>>!”

The light ball split into two.

“<<Turn>>, <<Expand>>”

One of the divided part of ball started to turn in place, while the other one gradually grew larger.

……Yes, it looks good. It’s moving just as I imagined it would.

Master also nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands to signal the end.

“Um, you should be able to handle <<Let There Be Light>> with no problem now. I don’t think there’s anyone in your age group who can use it as well as you.”

“Thank you very much!”

I feel flattered being praised like that.

I’d also like to meet other Magicians my age someday.

“I’ll tell you about the next magic. It’s called ‘La Izzy.’ In human terms, it is ‘Blade of Light.’ It is a beginner’s magic that creates a dagger made of light and attacks. Try it.”

“Yes, I will. <<Blade of Light>>”

Particles of light came out of my hand and almost took the shape of a knife, but it disappeared.

“Eh?”

“Hoho, well, there’s no problem not being able to do it right from the start. The more complicated the form and effect, the more difficult the magic becomes. A ball of light and a dagger are on completely different levels of complexity.”

“Mm-hmm. This seems like a lot of work.”

While I was thinking about how to make it work, Serena suddenly appeared near me.

While floating in the air, she asked me in a voice only I could hear.

“Hey, it’s good and all wanting to make a knife, but I’ll be in trouble if you don’t tell me exactly what it looks like.”

“What? Oh, I see.”

I only had a rough idea of what the knife would look like in my head. That’s why it didn’t go well because Serena couldn’t process it.

“But I don’t know much about knives. What am I supposed to do?”

“Do you have a model to show me? I’ll match it.”

“…Is that okay?”

I ask with a surprised look on my face, to which Serena replies, “Yeah, that’s the quickest way, right?”

Well, I had a knife in my desk at…

It was a souvenir my brother gave me years ago. It’s an exotic knife, made of some kind of unique steel, but it looks relatively simple and should be easy to replicate.

“Then, Serena, I want it to look like this, please.”

“Okay, you also have to picture this shape in your mind.”

I grabbed the knife and thought about its size and shape.

Then, with a now clear image of a knife in my mind, I casted the magic again.

“<<Blade of Light>>”

Particles of light once again emerged from the palm of my hand. This time, it solidified into the shape of a knife.

Though the details are still not quite right, the blade is sharp. It should be able to cut.

“Did you see it, Master? I think I did it… Oh.”

Master was looking at me with a suspicious look.

I guess it was only natural for him to be suspicious since I suddenly started talking to myself.

“…… Are you okay, Callus? Did you eat something strange? Were you poisoned? Hallucinating?”

“No, no, Master, there is a reason for this!”

I tried to explain, but Master wouldn’t listen to me.

I had no choice but to tell him the truth. I was going to tell him a little later, since I didn’t know much about spirits yet, but I had no choice.

‘I’m sorry, Master! I didn’t tell you, but I can actually see spirits now!”

“What a silly thing, then can you see my spirit too?”

“Well, I can’t see it, but Serena can, right?”

“Huh, the spirit with that old man? It’s a golden hawk.”

“A golden hawk? Well, I don’t know if I can make him believe me with just that information.”

After all, even Master can’t see his own spirit. Naturally, Master can neither confirm nor deny.

However, as soon as Master heard my words, he looked surprised.

“Did you say golden hawk? What does it call itself?”

“Well, it seems to be a hawk called… Yenia. What wrong?”

I relayed to Master what Serena told me.

Master muttered, “Re…ally,” and sat back in his chair.

Then, after a moment of silence, he said something surprising.

“Yenia is the name of a hawk I spent time with when I was a child. It has been a long time since she died, but… It seems that she’s always been with me.”
