- > The casting speed increases slightly.
Mastered Magic: Tinder, Water, Wind, Terra, Shock, Force, Wind Cutter
“So, it worked.”
I never thought I’d manage to master low-level magic while traveling in a carriage.
Now I understand how the protagonist in the game was able to learn magic all by himself.
But wasn’t this status window adjustment a lot?
Carla, who was staring blankly at the sharp blade of wind hanging in the air, suddenly turned to look at me.
“This isn’t something you can just brush off with a ‘so it worked,’ Master! Three days? You learned low-level magic in just three days?!”
“I guess I timed it perfectly for the Academy’s arrival date?”
Beyond the carriage window, I saw large spires and a uniquely modern atmosphere blended into the city.
It seemed like we were outside the human-populated Levantin Empire since I could see many different races in this place.
As I proudly nodded, looking at the scenery, Carla shook her head as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Master, just because it’s called ‘low-level’ magic doesn’t mean it’s trivial.”
“I know.”
Basic magic focused solely on invoking phenomena.
Tinder created a flame the size of a matchstick, water produced about a cupful of water, and Shock generated an electric current just a bit more painful than static electricity.
That was all there was to it. You could only invoke these phenomena.
But low-level magic was different.
You could manipulate the phenomena you conjure according to your will and produce meaningful results such as attacks or defenses.
That was why mastering low-level magic was the first step toward being recognized as a mage.
The problem was that you couldn’t make do with just low-level magic for what lay ahead.
I chuckled and patted Carla’s nose.
“In a way, isn’t it to be expected? Not only did you teach me every little detail, but you also directly demonstrated how to channel magical power. Add my own talent to that, and it’s only natural that things would turn out this way.”
“You’re right, but still, how could you...?”
Carla blinked her ruby-colored eyes, still bewildered.
She eventually let out a sigh and nodded.
“No, you’re right, Master. Given that it’s you, this is only natural. You’re destined to become an even greater mage.”
Her response came from her belief that I was an Awakened of Dragon’s Blood, like her ancestors.
Instead of answering, I simply shrugged my shoulders and turned to look out the window again.
The city, with its multiple spires lined up in the center, was getting closer.
We were nearing the Academy.
Similarly, her light blue eyes evoked pure ice.
Her somewhat revealing dress emphasized her superior innate magical power, but the high-quality robe-like cape she wore over it ensured she wouldn’t appear vulgar.
However, the most noticeable feature was her elongated, distinctively exposed ears.
It wasn’t just that the tips were pointed. Such elongated ears were a feature of High Elves, indicating a special lineage among elves.
A woman who looked like a young lady from a distinguished family, leading two maids, stopped right in front of us.
“Hmm.”
Her voice had a tone more exquisite than most musical instruments.
However, the words that followed were a waste of her tone, resembling simple provocation.
“It’s been a while, Lindelheit’s Young Mistress. Or should I call you just Carla now?”
“...Elisha.”
Elisha unfolded her fan with a flourish and hid her lips behind it, speaking in a mocking tone.
“Oh, my? Slaves these days seem to lack manners. To think you’d casually call me by name when I’m the heir to the Sylvan Magic Tower and carry the blood of high elves.”
Carla stood rigid, unable to speak.
“......”
Wow, to run into her here. Unlike Carla, whom you could only meet as a boss in the game, Elisha Sylvan Glenchiel could become a formal companion if you met a few conditions. Not only were the recruitment conditions not particularly stringent, but she was also considered essential for newbies due to her significant magical prowess.
However, it seemed like there was some connection between Carla and Elisha, although it didn’t appear to be a good one. The two never met in the game, so the backstory intrigued me. But there was something else to be dealt with first.
I bowed my head respectfully towards Elisha and started speaking.
“I sincerely apologize if my slave has offended you, Lady Glenchiel. She still doesn’t quite understand her position, so I beg your leniency.”
After entering the Academy, it might be okay to rely on the regulations and be a little bold, but we haven’t even taken the entrance exams yet. Causing unnecessary trouble that could get me expelled from the exam would be problematic.
I wondered if my immediate apology pleased her.
Elisha’s sky-blue eyes curled into crescent shapes. She folded her fan and gently placed it on my shoulder as she whispered,
“I think I heard something about night service...”
“You truly are Lady Glenchiel. I thought it was just a small whisper, but you heard it.”
“Hehe, high elves have senses that exceed what is commonly known.”
Elisha’s ears twitched as if pleased. Then, she spoke loud enough that those who were around us could hear.
“I don’t know from which noble family you hail, but you seem to lack the skills to manage slaves. These lowly beings should be strictly disciplined.”
Was it my appearance and clean-cut outfit? She seemed to mistake me for the child of some noble family.
Even though her attitude seemed to belittle me, I had to admit that Elisha was in a position that allowed her that kind of behavior. After bringing up the term ‘night service,’ she suggested that slaves should be ‘strictly disciplined.’ It seemed she was hinting at some form of punishment. The last part she said aloud was probably to indicate that she had graciously forgiven me.
Thinking how exhausting nobility could be, I managed to put on my best ingratiating smile.
“Thank you for your concern. I’ll take this opportunity to educate her and correct her behavior.”
At the word ‘educate,’ Carla, who seemed to recall something from her past, visibly trembled like a rabbit in front of a predator.
Seeing this, Elisha looked satisfied and patted my shoulder.
“If you say so, I can’t complain. Everyone makes mistakes, but remember, I won’t tolerate them twice. I’ll be watching.”
Without waiting for my response, Elisha moved away. Judging by how she was leaving the line, it appeared she had already completed her exam.
I slowly looked up, and Carla was restlessly bowing her head towards me.
“I’m sorry. Because of me, you had to apologize to Elisha... I mean, Lady Glenchiel. Whatever punishment is waiting, I’ll take it courageously. So after you’ve vented your anger on me, please, Master, forgive me...”
“What? You were worried about that? Don’t worry about it.”
“Master, it’s not that simple. Being on Lady Glenchiel’s radar means...”
Carla went on to explain how much influence and talent Elisha had and what she could do if she wanted to. But the odds of what Carla was talking about actually happening seemed slim.
After all, Elisha would soon fall from grace herself.
