Chapter 10: Magic

A few months had already passed…

As usual, I was busy studying in the library.

Apparently after the ceremony for my newly born younger brother I had gained some tutors.

Well, normally 3 years old is the usual age for children of nobility to get a tutor but I am already nearing the age of 5.

The lessons are fairly easy for a 5 year old though.

'I may have started late but isn’t my progress a bit too fast? Or is the standards of their education curriculum here lower than on earth…'

As I was wasting my time away on reading various books in the library at the pretext of studying.

I came across something rather interesting.

It seems that I can enter various sections if this library regardless of the restriction.

Is it perhaps I’m a royal? I wonder what the requirements for this library’s recognition are…

Well that’s not important right now, as a persistent 'bug' keeps on chasing me even all the way to this library that only the members of royalty are allowed to enter.

“Our young Sun where are you??”

'Speak of the devil… and he will sure appear.' I couldn't help but think as the 'bug's' voice was gradually getting closer.

Creak

The door to the library's entrance soon opened as a familiar figure appeared.

"Oh there you are young Sun!"

Without even looking at the 'bug' I replied in a stern manner. “You know you aren’t allowed to go inside this library aren’t you not? I have already stated before that I can’t use magic so there is really no reason to hire a magic tutor.”

“Don’t speak like that our young Sun! Everybody has mana inside them, you just have to find a way to wield it!” The 'bug' then used [flight] to get to where I am.

As annoying as he is, that topic is rather interesting though.

‘This person… is one of the crown Prince’s most trusted aides in the game, he gave hope to the crown Prince but more so, despair.’

He is a rather enthusiastic graduate of the Academy aiming to be a teacher that can help students learn more about the secrets of this world or rather mana.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

It seems he got lucky and was selected to be my personal tutor on magic.

But I really don’t see the point in learning magic as the crown Prince is known to also not use magic in the battle interface of the game.

It's, not like I can outright say that though…

“What’s so bad about magic? Our young Sun… See? Look! Even you can do this!” He proceeded to cast a spell, indoors even.

Lo and behold it started to rain inside the library, good thing the books in this particular library were all casted with an [anti-erosion] spell.

The annoyingly strong [drizzle] spell cleared up and revealed a rainbow.

“…” As much as I am glad the books weren’t wet, I should be more inclined to worrying about myself first as I am now currently drenched from head to toe.

“Ah oops… I’m terribly sorry our young Sun…” After saying his 'sorry's' he then casted a [warming] spell after he realized the state of my being.

Thus it evaporated the accumulated water on my clothes and on the library’s floor.

“…GET OUT.” Without looking at him I proceeded to speak strongly yet stiff as I try to slowly rationalize myself.

I can’t blow off steam right now, at least not right at this moment.

“Ah… yes…” Looking down-casted, he then left the library and I could finally get my peace.

"The magic academy made a mistake in letting this person even graduate…" With a huff I glared towards the library's door where the 'bug' just exited towards.

Don't get me wrong, he’s a nice guy but I just can’t tolerate his inconsideration towards other people…

Especially with his magic…

Fascination or passion, whichever of the two would always one way or the other would keep his head fill to the brim with clouds.

Thus this air-headedness of his was rather troublesome most of the time.

If you want to live and die in peace, I suggest you to never cross paths with that guy, ever.

I mean, he’s definitely the type of person that will dig you out of your grave just to bother your peaceful death --with numerous questions that were born from his curiosity-- only to remember belatedly that the dead can’t speak!

“Still, his magic is really…” My words trailed off as I began looking at the ceiling and the wonder that was left on it.

‘Breathtaking...’ As if I was not aware of it, I grinned from ear to ear as I could still see the remnant mana patterns from the magic he casted.

The rainbow that was still shining its prisms inside this labyrinth like library made it feel so surreal.

‘Magic truly is fascinating.’ staring at the artificial rainbow in awe I began to really think deeply on what magic really is.

But, as if the excitement in my eyes were all just an illusion I began to go back and read the book I was brisking-through a while ago before a certain distraction came and ruined my focus.

‘A spell that can send you back where you truly belong…’ It would be nice if it did help me get back to earth but I can’t really do the spell… After all, I can’t use magic.

{“Even you can do this!”}

His annoying voice seemed to echo through my ears as I peak towards the door of the library where I kicked him out.

“I can also do that… huh… maybe in the next life I might. Haha…” Closing my eyes I proceeded to then also close the book I was reading.

As I was about to continue reading another one I once again unconsciously turned to look at the scene and briskly look at the remnants of the beautiful magic that was used to show that fantastical view.

My eyes seemed to sparkle a bit but I soon snapped out from my wishful thoughts and focused on reading once more, as I have been doing ever since that ceremony took place.
