40-Episode 6 What Magic Are You Good At?

The carriage rumbled along the cobblestone road, making a rumbling sound.

I asked him, "How much farther are we from the City of Magic?

How much farther is it to the City of Magic?

You know what??Maybe two or three days to get there.

The reply was quite vague.

After all, it's the weather. That's just a matter of luck.

Hmm.

Come to think of it, I've heard that story before.

I've heard that the area around the magical city sometimes experiences severe weather that makes it impossible to get to and from the streets.

I've heard that it's difficult to predict because it happens irregularly and out of the blue.

The magical city of Alsubel.

As the name suggests, it is said to be the most magically advanced city in the world.

It is said that the city has produced a number of wizards who have left their mark on history, and that even now, excellent wizards gather to devote themselves to researching the essence of magic day and night.

I'm on my way to the city to seek out even higher levels of magic.

I'm sure my father and mother are having a hard time calming down an angry Mila.

Forgive me, Mira.

I'll bathe with you again when I get home.

It's been a little over three years since I started training in magic.

I had turned nineteen.

"Hey, are you going to go to the magical city too?

It was a boy who came to visit me in a familiar way, a boy who had boarded the train at a station not long ago.

He was still in his mid-teens, I guess.

I can't speak for him, but he is dressed in a simple, country style, but he has a very competitive face.

I'm sure you'll be able to tell. That's right.

I replied, and the boy laughed as if he was making fun of people.

"Hey, hey, hey. What the hell have you been doing since you were blessed until you were that age??I think it's a little too late to go to a magical city, don't you?

The City of Swords was a place where those who had already learned to use swords were gathered.

That's why the majority of them were experienced [senior positions], and it wasn't unusual for them to be in their 20s or 30s, even if they were new to the guild.

However, the magical city also has the aspect of an "educational institution for wizards".

It is made up of several schools called "academies," and the majority of the city's residents were students of the academies.

Therefore, it seems that the only people who visit the city are boys and girls in their early teens who have only been blessed for a few years or so.

''Don't do it, Kite. Probably this person has been failing the entrance examinations for a long time now. That's the result of your hard work, so don't look down on it too much.

The one who seemed to follow up and instead said something terrible was a girl of the same age as the boy.

I'm sure he doesn't intend to do so, since his face is so serious as he chides the boy.

It's a good thing that you're a good friend. You're the one looking down on me.

What??You don't think so?

The two people become swift and swift in the air.

Then the other girl interrupts in a hurry to intercede.

I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you, I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you, I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you.

I'm not fighting with you, Colette.

'Yes. I'm just chiding Kite.

Perhaps the three of us are childhood friends from the same hometown heading to the magical city together.

But please don't interrupt me to argue with each other.

"Tsk.

Hmph.

'Huh....'

I guess my thoughts were answered, and they quieted down in three different ways.

But after a while, the boy opens his mouth again.

'So what kind of magic are you good at?'

You've been showing interest in me for a while now.

Or maybe you just want someone to pass the time with, or maybe you just have a personality that doesn't feel comfortable unless you're having a conversation.

'Hmm. Not that there's anything special about it.

I responded honestly.

'Oh??What are you talking about? You know what you're good at. I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about the skills you have, the skills. I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you.

Even if it's a "basic" job, the skills that can be acquired are different for each person, such as "Red Magic, Beginner" or "Blue Magic, Beginner".

It seems that this boy has a red magic type skill.

By the way, it is said that there are six types of magic as follows

Red magic: magic related to fire and heat, etc.

Blue Magic: Magic related to water, ice, cold air, etc.

Green Magic: Magic related to atmosphere, weather, etc.

Yellow magic: magic related to earth, metal, etc.

White magic: magic about light, life, etc.

Black Magic: Magic about darkness, death, etc.

But I'm just an "unemployed" and of course I don't have any skills.

Hence, even when I was asked if I was good at magic, I could only answer that I was not.

''To begin with, I don't have any magic skills.

No, it's not magic, not at all.

After all, my profession is Unemployed.

What?

The boy was stunned with his mouth wide open.

The girl who was listening to the conversation beside me, the girl from earlier suddenly gushed out.

''Phew. Hahaha!?Kite, you're being teased. Normally, an 'unemployed' wouldn't want to enter a magical city.

Wha...?

It was humiliating, or maybe it was humiliation, and the boy turned red in the face.

No, it's true.

'I'm not lying,'

I showed him the certificate.

'Oh, my God.?Are you sure it's unemployed??Isn't this a forgery?

Oh, you're really here...

'Geehahaha!?So you're seriously trying to get into a magical city??This guy is crazy!

As the boy's laughter catches up with him, the other guests start laughing too.

Hmm.

I've seen this scene before.

That time, as I recall, right after this, the King Orc--

Hey, that's...

One of the passengers shouts in a strong voice.

I turn my eyes in the direction of his gaze.

There's a rather large one.

"And a troll king!

Oh dear, now it's the upper echelon of trolls.
