*ABILITY*



[W-What.....? T-Teach you?... then...I have questions...]

....."

[Saying you want to be taught magic from me…... William, do you have any ability ?]

[huh?.....Ability??]

[Magic greatly depends on the ability one is born with….A person who doesn’t have any ability cannot use magic no matter what they do.]

hmm...I see, so it would seem it’s not an ability that’s usable by everyone. Hmm. If everyone can use it, then it wouldn’t be strange if civilization developed further into the magic side.

[Ability. Huh…yeah. However, wouldn’t it be alright? A certain person guaranteed and said I can use magic immediately if it’s me.]

[Who is it, that person?]

[That…he is a really important person.]

God..... Will they question my appropriateness if I say it? I’ll stay silent about that.

[Whether I have ability or not, I have no method to find out.]

To my question, Jenna takes out some magic stones from the pouch on her waist. They are shining like glass from blue and red, yellow to colourless approximately at the size of one centimetre. Which reminds me, there is something like that on the silver wand that Jenna bought, but that one was much bigger.

[T-This, what is it?]

[…This is a magic stone, Magical power is amplified, stored and it can be released. We can investigate your ability using this and what magic you can use. However, only roughly.]

[Water] I wonder if it’s easy to understand…I mumbled. Jenna picks up a bluish transparent stone in her hand and then places it above on the wood on a table.

[Come out, magic Fire.]

When Jenna speaks those words, a small amount of fire begins to flow out from the magic stone and falls into the cup.

[WhOoo...]

[…..T-This is the state when magic is invoked. The magic stone produces fire in response to my magical power.]

[By the way…]

The nearby Jack receives the magic stone from the younger sister and chants the incantation the same way.

[Come out, magic Fire.]

But, the magic stone doesn’t show any reaction. Not one drop of Fire came out.

[This is what happens when you have no ability in Fire. So this means I can’t use Fire magic.]

[Even though you’re twins brother and older sister, Jack can’t use it.]

[Don’t just bluntly say what’s on your mind.... Jack…. Well, not that I mind.]

Oh.. That was a slip of the tongue. However, Jack isn’t seriously angry. I’m a little relieved.

[Older brother can’t use fire magic, but instead she can use body strengthening magic and martial arts…. In contrast, I can’t use body strengthening because I would need the ability to able to use it.]

I see. So that was the source of her outrageously destructive power. Even though her body looks thin, it is mysterious where that power is coming from. This solves that mystery.

[Magic is something that everyone possesses, but if they have no ability for it, they can’t use the skill.]

So it all depends on ability. Because if one doesn’t have any talent, then the world is unfair if I had to say it.

[Then, if I do that too, we’ll find out if I have ability or not.]

[Yes. …hold the magic stone in your hand and concentrate your consciousness on it. Then please recite the words [Come out, magic water]

I receive the red magic stone from Jenna and then I bring the magic stone above a plate to avoid the table getting wet when I invoke the magic.

I concentrate my consciousness on the magic stone and recite the words Jenna taught me.

[Come out, magic Fire.]

The next moment, fire starts to overflow from the magic stone like a broken faucet.

[WhoOooa...]

When I let go of the magic stone in surprise, the fire stops instantly. However, the table is burning and the tablecloth is being burn from fire magic.

[…..W-What does this mean?]

I demand an explanation from the two people for this clearly abnormal sit.

[……I think it’s because William’s level of magical power is far superior…. Yet, there’s no way….the first time by such a small magic stone and a fragment of an spell. And it’s clear the magic quality is at an impossible level, I can’t believe it.]

[You’re absolutely more likely to become a mage magician. I’ve never seen something like this.]

I have ability as expected. Well, it’s from God’s gift approval after all. At any rate, perhaps this level of magical power is also from God’s effect. However, this is still better than a little. Anyhow, this means that I can use magic.

We apologize for the table we burn and leave the coffee shop in haste.

Because it is already evening by the time we arrive at the inn, then magic will be for later tomorrow.

I have Jenna teach me reading and writing in the dining hall after we finish dinner. I get Old man David permission just in case.

To start with, I have Jenna write a simple word and then I would write next to it the meaning in English.

[…..These are characters I haven’t seen. This is from where characters?]

[Umm, These are characters limited to the area of my home town. I’m probably the only one who uses these characters around here.]

Let alone in this area, there’s probably no one who uses them anywhere in this world. It resembles something like a secret code.

For now, Jenna seems to understand even though she becomes mystified.

Thereafter, I’m taught the words steadily and I convert them to english. I wonder if it’s because Jenna is good at teaching. The words are rapidly entering my head. Oh? Did I have such good memory? Is this also from gifted God’s effect?

If that was the case, wouldn’t it be better if I was able to read and write from the beginning? Although thinking about it, I’ve probably received more various conveniences from God. Or should I say, luxuries.

I finish studying at a good pace, say goodbye to Jenna, and return to my room.

I write down the memory of today’s events on the system and peek on the information from the other world.  Aah, I wanted to see this movie.

Woops, that’s right. It’s been on my mind, so I check the hometown on my map. I find that it is an island country considerably south from here at the edge of the continent. It seems to slightly resemble from earth. I want to go there sometime if there’s an opportunity.

Is it because I became tired from the demon subjugation today and from Jenna teaching me an ability? I become sleepy immediately. I stop any useless resistance and quickly crawl into bed. Good night~.. Snooze.
