Becoming a magician in another world

At breakfast the next day, Daphne handed me a magic book.

By the way, Sam is having dinner with Daphne and Derek.

An incompetent child with no talent for swords seemed unworthy of sitting around the dinner table with his fathers.

(Well, I prefer it this way...it'd be hard to moisten my eyes and look at me if Daphne and Derek were sad)

Butler Derek looked at Sam, who was happy to receive the magic book, and like Daphne, lamented the treatment of the little boy and began to cry.

Then, Daphne started crying again, and as Sam tried to get them both to stop crying, it seemed to mirror the "healthy child," creating a strange cycle of more tears.

——Don't despair even if you don't have magical talent.

Maybe it was just in case that Daphne and Derek said that to Sam.

Perhaps he was worried about how shocked a young boy who had hopes for magic would be if he didn't have magical talent.

As Sam, if he couldn't use magic, he would just think of other ways, so he could only smile bitterly and say "this is so exaggerated".

There are suitable and unsuitable people.

Sam, who has no talent for swords, will find something that suits him if he looks for it, even if he has no talent for magic.

(It’s not easy to travel to another world, let’s move forward)

Although not very optimistic, Sam tried to think positively.

Sam returned to his room, opened the magic book and began to read.

Thanks to my memory, I could read the words, so there was no pain.

On the contrary, the joy of gaining unknown knowledge is great.

(――First of all, whether I have the adaptability to be a magician becomes important. No matter how much I want to be a magician, if I don’t have the important magic power, I can’t use magic)

Wants to use magic and is absorbed in reading.

Then, a few hours passed quickly.

"...Huh. After all, you need magic power in your body to use magic."

The contents of the magic book are very interesting.

There are very few magicians in this world, and there seems to be no one who can manipulate magic freely to a certain extent.

He became an adventurer and a magician serving the country, and found that although there were pros and cons from top to bottom, he was a rare existence among humans with magic power.

"I'm a little uneasy... In a world where there are so few people with magic powers, do I conveniently have magic powers?"

If there was magic at the time, I wonder if my father realized and developed his talent very early on.

However, the neck soon fell to the side.

Sam's father, Carius, is not that kind of man.

In his mind, the only issue between him and his son was whether or not he could use a sword.

Even if Sam had magical powers and a talent as a wizard, he would not show any interest.

Sam no longer had any expectations of his father.

This was also the case with young Sam before he became the Sam he is today.

The only family members who matter to Samuel are Daphne and Derek.

"Is there no way to think about it? According to the method in this book, you only need to recite a simple spell to know whether there is magic power or not."

Although it is a simple method, if there is magic power, the basic magic will be activated, so it seems to be used to determine the presence or absence of magic power.

If it is an organization called the Magic Association, it seems that there are magic tools that can measure magic power, but such a clever thing is impossible to be in the home of a small noble in the countryside.

"Well, what... Even if one or two times don't produce results, you have to keep going, right? How many times do you have to keep trying?"

It seems that even elementary magic is not so easy to succeed.

The book says that this doesn't mean there is no magic formula to decide, but it does take a few tries.

However, how many times to challenge seems to depend on that person, and how many times to try to reach a conclusion seems vague.

"Even if you are distressed, there is nothing you can do. Why don't you give it a try?"

Getting nervous.

It is no exaggeration to say that the presence or absence of magic power determines the future of life in the other world.

Whether you can become a magician, or look for something else if you have no talent, depends on the next result.

(Oops, my stomach hurts from all the nervousness)

The hand holding the book began to tremble.

"Don't be afraid, I'll do it!"

To cover up his uneasiness, he reprimanded himself, and Sam raised his index finger.

Repeatedly take deep breaths and hope for the magic to come out.

Then recited.

"--Fire, light it up"

What spun out of the boy's mouth was elementary, primary fire attribute magic.

Even if you succeed, at best your fingertips will light a small fire.

but,

--roar!

There was a sound and a pillar of fire rose from Sam's fingers.
