Since you can't measure magic with pond water, I decided to use a stone next.
A stone as big as my six-year-old head was prepared.
The stone was placed on a platform at just the right height where you can reach out horizontally and touch it.
Well ...... father? Mother?
Unlike earlier, when it was just a class, my father and mother were looking at me behind the stone, in what would have been a special seat in the theater, with their heads down.
"We've come to see Alec's big day.
"The sunny look is too good, it's just a measure of magic.
But Alec is measuring his magic for the first time. I want to see my child grow up, so I want to see him take his first steps properly.
Your father, who is very direct in everything, and your mother, who has a good reason for doing so.
Either way, they seem to be ready to watch the game.
Come on, let's see it, Alec.
"Hang in there, my Alec
My parents' fervent gaze plus cheering.
In resignation, I reached out and touched the stone.
I did the same thing, poured my magic power into the stone and watched it change.
Take a deep breath, pour the magic into it, and the next moment, it's gone.
Mm, it's gone.
You're gone.
"Same as before, Mr. Alec.
Parents and Angers react to each other.
I looked around to be sure, there's no rock anywhere.
What does this mean?
My father asked his tutor.
'Yes, I believe that the baron's magic was so strong that he made the stone disappear as well as the water, yes.
Oh, that's Alec.
But it's troubling, because it gives me no idea how much magic Alec has.
"Hmmm. I know Alec is great, so I'd like to know how great he is.
Your father said with a straight face.
"Is there any other way?
"Yes, no, not at all, yes.
Say it.
"Yes, you can use the gold, yes.
""Gold?"
Your father, your mother, and Angier's voices overlapped.
So that's how it is.
What's this all about?
Gold is the metal with the most stable properties. Gold is the most stable metal in terms of its properties. Moreover, unlike other metals, gold is flexible enough to endure many things. It is used to measure people with high magic power because it is hard to change and yet strong.
"Yes, yes, yes ......
What's up with that? Did Alec say something wrong?
Father narrowed his eyes just a little bit as he asked the magical tutor with a bitter look on his face.
"Yes, I didn't tell the baronet about it, but I wondered how he knew about it, yes ......
"What's that? That's because it's Alec.
That's not the reason, father.
"I should have more gold than that, shouldn't I? I guess it should be the same size as the stone I just saw.
"Yes, that's okay, yes.
My father immediately ordered his servants to prepare the gold.
The Duke of Carlisle's mansion is full of gold and silver treasures, and a mere bar of gold could be ready in a matter of minutes.
It was placed on a table, just like the stone from earlier.
Are you sure this is correct?
"Yes, that's it, yes.
The tutor nodded clearly.
'Yes, there is no one in the history of the world who cannot be identified by this, yes.
