“How is it, Hans?”
Camellia put her hands on her waist with a proud expression.
Behind her was a giant snowman that looked to be two to three times the height of an adult male.
“… You two made this?”
“Yes! You and Avalli!”
“That’s amazing.”
Hans let out a pure exclamation of admiration.
When it snowed, he would at most have snowball fights with the village children.
He had never even thought of doing anything else with the snow.
But Avalli created something so casually.
As if it were a given to her.
‘… Avali.’
She was not ordinary.
She certainly looked like an ordinary girl on the outside, but Hans’s mind naturally sank into such thoughts.
Why is that?
Will the day ever come when he will find out the reason?
“Avalli should have come too.”
“You’re busy today….I guess she’ll be the same tomorrow.”
“Lucy has monopolized Avali.”
Camellia puffed out her cheeks and whined.
Hans found that cute, and snickered to comfort her.
“It seems like the other kids have gotten better from their colds. Let’s bring them all next time and show them off.”
“Yeah!
I’d like Lucy and Avalli to be there too then.”
If that day came, Lucy would definitely notice the snowman’s true identity and immediately faint.
“Yeah. We should definitely do that, Camellia.”
“I hope time passes quickly.”
The two, who couldn’t possibly know that, continued their conversation happily and spent more time in the vacant lot.
At the same time, at Arsene’s house in the center of the village-
“… You’re a lot smarter than I expected, Avalli.”
Lucy made a dumbfounded expression as she looked at Avalli, who understood her words right away.
“Hehe, really?”
“Honestly, it’s surprising. It took me almost two weeks to understand this much.”
It’s not easy to properly understand the concept of magic.
In fact, Lucy’s two weeks were considered a very short time for all wizards, but Avalli didn’t even take a day.
‘It’s easy to think of it as an atom.’
If you take away all the esoteric modifiers like the origin, the first one, etc., you can summarize it like that.
The smallest unit that makes up all the substances in the world, invisible to the eye.
It’s not much different from when you hear about atoms in science class.
To be honest, I don’t really understand it, but I can understand it roughly.
Before coming to this world, Avalli was an ordinary person, a liberal arts student who had a religious faith rather than a proper understanding of science.
When he approached the mysterious concept of magic in the same way, he quickly received the OK sign from Lucy.
“… Then since the first step was successful, I’ll start the lesson in earnest. Is that okay, Avalli?”
“Yes, Sister Lucy.”
“Honestly, I wonder if it’s right for me to teach…”
Lucy’s voice was still mixed with fear as she spoke.
However, Avalli’s current eye color is not a sparkling green eye, but a color that is exactly like her brown bob.
‘I said it was the personality inside.’
That was the information that Arsene had given her.
When Avalli had green eyes, the existence ‘inside’ her appeared with will.
However, when she had brown eyes like now, it was okay to think of her as a normal girl.
After hearing that story, Lucy stopped using extremely honorifics with Avalli.
Although she was still respectful, Lucy was aware of the awkwardness of adding ‘sir’ to the end of her name and her timid attitude.
Just before the green eye disappeared into Avalli’s ‘inside,’ she had asked Lucy directly.
‘… She was more polite and articulate than I thought.’
Despite the fact that the green eye possessed such transcendent power, she immediately bowed her head for what she had done.
If Lucy had the same power as the girl in front of her, would she have done the same?
No.
Lucy would have greedily wielded her power without hesitation.
He must have made all the juniors on the 4th floor who usually looked down on him terrified.
‘Is it because his personality is different from that of a normal human?’
As soon as she felt safe, Lucy became curious about the ‘green eye’ inside Avalli.
Of course, she still felt fearful, so she didn’t dare ask directly.
“So, now you’re not Sister Lucy, but Master Lucy?”
“… Yes?”
Avalli said with the most innocent expression possible.
‘… Because I set her up as a completely different person.’
Avalli was a little shocked by the fact that the polite attitude Lucy had shown her was actually ‘fear.’
Even if Lucy was an exceptionally eccentric wizard, there was no reason for her to suddenly use the most honorifics to the girl she had treated condescendingly.
I realized it too late.
Now that she had learned the truth, she couldn’t afford to be treated so uncomfortably.
That’s why she had earnestly asked Lucy to ‘treat Avalli normally’ while in the ‘green eye’ state.
As a result, Lucy didn’t use the most honorifics, but she didn’t treat her condescendingly either.
Avalli decided to understand that much.
Forcibly demanding that she be ‘comfortable’ could itself be forcing discomfort on the other person.
“Master! Master Lucy!”
Avalli called Lucy’s name in a bright voice.
Lucy had to stay in Asha Village because of what she had done.
It was definitely a little embarrassing to act like a child, but this was the only way Lucy could feel a little more comfortable.
“What is it… Master?”
Lucy said in a curt voice, twisting her red hair.
However, contrary to her words, the corners of Lucy’s mouth were turning up.
‘Master.’
What a beautiful sound this was.
And it wasn’t a talentless country bumpkin, but a transcendent being like Avalli expressing respect to Lucy.
Even though she knew it was excessive, she couldn’t help but feel good inside.
“Well…, you don’t have to be so polite, right? If Avalli wants, I don’t mind calling you that.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Well… Then, shall we start the lesson in earnest?”
At the sweet compliment of being called a master, Lucy smiled broadly and began the lesson.
The extremely ordinary and standard curriculum that Lucy received when she was an apprentice magician at the Magic Tower.
This most basic course was not much different in any Magic Tower on the continent.
After understanding magic power-
“There are five properties to magic. Do you know that?”
-It was about the properties of magic.
“No. This is my first time hearing about it.”
“It’s normal for people who aren’t magicians to hear about it for the first time. For ordinary people, there are fire, ice, wind, lightning, space travel, acceleration, etc., and so on… Well, it seems like various magics are categorized into different concepts, but magicians categorize them into five major categories.”
Lucy coughed briefly and paused, then stood up from her chair and continued.
“Of the five categories, the first three categories are closely connected. Some rather radical professors even suggest that we should integrate them into one.”
As she said that, Lucy held her staff in her hand and focused her mind for a moment.
“First, the first category that works on the output of energy.”
“It’s a heat type.”
Lucy uses her magic while saying that.
She can feel a distinct warmth around Lucy’s staff.
“You’ve seen this before, right?”
“When I was washing dishes in the river!”
“Yes. It’s the most basic magic that grants heat, ‘Warmth.’ Well, actually, magic with the ice attribute also falls into this category. When the energy of heat is reversed and goes to the negative, it becomes cold. Do you understand up to this point?”
“Yes, Master!”
Lucy frowned slightly as Avali answered without hesitation.
“… You understood right away?”
Considering the time it took Lucy to understand this concept of negative numbers, Avalli’s statement that she understood seemed like a lie.
‘Well, it was the same before.’
I guess it’s right to say that she really understood.
However, Avalli is by no means an ordinary girl.
She has an innate understanding of magical powers, to the point where she can learn the concept of magical power in less than a day.
Since such a transcendent being sleeps inside her, it would be reasonable to think that Avalli was influenced to some extent without even realizing it.
“Ice magic is not my specialty, so it’s a shame I can’t show you…, but I’m glad you understood. And the next one is ‘kinetic’ magic, which is a type that deals with the flow of energy.”
“Flow?”
“To put it simply, it’s ‘wind’ magic. Well, strictly speaking, magic like Detect also falls under this category, so it’s a bit complicated…”
Lucy made a hand gesture with one hand and moved her staff in the set order as she said that.
Since the pyrotechnic type was Lucy’s specialty, she could use basic magic without a flash, but that wasn’t possible with the kinetic type.
“Unstoppable wind, dance in front of me too.”
The ‘flow’ of the air shook with Lucy’s magic and brushed Avalli’s cheek.
A refreshing, cool breeze, the most basic magic of the kinetic type, ‘Wind.’
“It’s not my specialty, so the output isn’t very refreshing, but…”
Lucy muttered in embarrassment, but Avalli’s reaction was the exact opposite of what she had expected.
“… It’s magic!”
“Of course it’s magic.”
At Lucy’s awkward answer, Avalli’s eyes sparkled and she exclaimed, “That’s amazing, Master!”
What on earth is so amazing?
This is the most basic of the basics that even the Magic Tower’s apprentices can use.
“That…There’s nothing amazing about it?”
But apart from such twisted feelings, the corners of Lucy’s mouth, thirsty for praise, were naturally rising.
