I was thinking about the future.

 If I was going to be on my own, I would need magic.

 I was thinking about the last boss of the Hero of the Deadly Sins and the Hero of Destiny, although it was quite far away.

 He's going to come up with instant-death attacks and instant-death-level assaults.

 One way is to beat it by boosting his status, equipment, and skills.

 Another is to stun him into action and have him stay quiet the entire time.

 Fire magic can cause a burn state, but it can only inflict damage each turn, not inhibit behavior.

 Wind and earth magic may be able to stop him temporarily, but not for a long period of time.

 Then, the ice and lightning attributes are the way to go.

 The ice attribute can freeze the body, and the lightning attribute can give it an electric shock state.

 I need healing magic as well, because potions alone are not enough.

 I went to the library and read the grimoire to learn magic.

 First, I started with the ice attribute.

System message: 'I have learned magic: Blizzard."

 While I was reading the book in the spacious library, Sophia came to sit next to me.

'Why are you coming next to me when the place is so spacious?"

'......"

 This time it is the lightning attribute.

 I moved over because I was curious about Sophia sitting next to me.

System message:" Magic: Thunder" was learned.

 Sophia came next to me again.

"So why are you following me?"

"......."

 Next came the healing spell.

 I moved again.

System message: "Healing magic was learned."

 ...... She followed me again.

'Why are you coming next to me in such a big place?'

"Oh, am I bothering you?"

'No, not really, but it bothers me when you come next to me when it's so spacious. ......"

"I'm here to escort you, "

"The place is too spacious for bandits to come in. Besides, they wouldn't have to come this close to me. ......"

"Look, Master Elias, you seem annoyed."

"I'm not. ......"

 Why is Sofia bothering me? Am I being teased?

 I don't understand.

 I had come to the training hall of the magician's corps to try out the magic I had learned.

 Of course, Sophia was with me.

 The new recruits were training their magic.

 I was thinking of going back home because I was getting in the way, when I was called by a voice.

"What are you doing here, Elias-sama? It's very unusual to see you here."

 There was Cornelia Maie, the head magic instructor, with black hair and a shaggy head, who was always reading a book and mumbling to herself.

"I'm sorry, Cornelia. , am I disturbing you? I'm here to practice my magic."

"Master Elias is practicing magic? No, I am sorry. The new recruits are practicing in a rotation, so we have a surplus of magic dolls. So please feel free to use them."

"I don't mind. It's no secret that I've been a lazy person. I've decided to change. I'll be grateful for it."

 I looked around and saw that the new recruits were training to fire magic at the doll.

"Tei!"

"Tei!"

 The magic emitted from their hands scatters powerlessly in the air without reaching the magic dolls.

 I think it's adorable.

 But they are more than ten years older than me.

 They must study hard and support the Dietrich family from now on.

 I have to do what I must do.

 First of all, I shot ice magic at the doll.

 The doll absorbed my ice magic without breaking.

System message: Magic:" Blizzard level increased by 1. Magic power increased by 1."

 I used magic for the first time.

 Before I used it, I thought that it would be a weak magic like that of the new recruits, but it was absorbed into the magic doll with surprising vigor.

 Cornelia was giving a lesson to the recruits.

"Magic is all about imagery, Fire is hot and red, water is blue and flowing, and wind is green and blowing through. earth is yellow and majestic. And the power of focus to formulate magic. The combination of these two images will create a powerful magic. Don't worry if you don't succeed now. If you practice for a long time, you will get better."

 Hmmm, Cornelia is a good teacher, isn't she?

 I can't learn from her right now because she'd get in the way, but maybe next time I'll ask her to teach me.

 Next is thunder spell.

System message: "Spell : Thunder level increased by 1. Magic power increased by 1."

 The magic system in Heroes of the Deadly Sins and Heroes of Destiny is based on the number of uses, not MP.

 You can only use it for the amount of magic power you have.

"Instructor."

"What?"

 One recruit is looking at me.

 The other recruits are also turning their attention to me.

 Cornelia rushes over to me and asks in a low voice.

"Elias-sama, did you ever master magic?"

"No, I used it for the first time just now.'

'Eh ......?'

 Cornelia was puzzled.

 What did I do?

"Elias, magic is something that is refined through years of training. I can't believe that you have mastered it so easily. ......'

"Oh, you mean ...... that new recruits are not motivated?"

 Cornelia nodded.

 That's not good.

 The young people who will support the Dietrich family in the future are promising prospects.

 I don't want them to fall behind because of something like this.

 However, the new recruits gave a surprising response.

"Elias-sama, you are so cool"!

"I want to be able to use magic like you."

 The morale of the recruits was raised.

 Was it a good thing in the end?

 I called out to the recruits.

"You are all promising young men. You will support my father and the Dietrich family from now on."

"I am grateful for your kind words. But I want to protect you, Elias."

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

"What?"

 The conversation is going in a strange direction again.

 Well, is it not a bad thing to be loved?

"Hmmm, it's wonderful, isn't it? Elias-sama."

 A new character has appeared.

 He is a fair-skinned man with shoulder-length blond hair and long slit eyes.

 He is Christoph Breitner, Deputy Commander of the Magic Corps.

A/n

Setting.

Although organizations called Knights and Magic units are mentioned in this work, they are all internal organizations of Leon's Paramilitary Forces.

The protagonist is a nobleman, and one of the author's questions, which is not familiar with otherworldly reincarnation or aristocratic society, is whether a ducal family can own a knighthood or a magician's corps.

The author's image is that knights and magicians are held by the royal family.

The reason why the author wondered this was because I thought that if the duke possessed too much power, the king might consider him to be in danger for rebellion.

This is a setting that I thought of in order to make Leon stand out as a formidable presence, but for those who are used to reading about otherworldly reincarnation or are familiar with aristocratic society, it may not be the right way to go about it.

If you are familiar with this subject, please don't advise or point it out to me.

It is because the author has to think on his own to gain strength.

For this work, I will keep the setting as it is.

If I change it, I will have to change Leon's character and position.

Even if you feel uncomfortable with it, I would appreciate it if you could give me a warm support.
