Ten days had passed since then.
Ronnie was teaching Carla magic and writing on the second floor of the laboratory. At first, Cordelia thought that she wouldnt mind it if they conducted their lessons on the first floor, but they had been too noisy, so she decided to move them upstairs.
Even so, the second floor was just a single room and it had no doors; the only thing separating it from the first floor were stairs. She was a little worried because Ronnies and Carlas loud voices could be heard every now and then. She was a little puzzled, so she quietly climbed the stairs and peeked at what they were doing.
Their study corner was a small table set, which had been placed near the window side. Ronnie sat facing Carla.
Like I said, magic isnt something that you just silently pray for. If you dont follow the magic that flows through your body, then you wouldnt be able to produce magic.
Magic power flows through the body? What are you saying? I have no idea what youre on about!
Ah! Look, magic flows through your body like your blood does, right?
I dont know what you mean. Yesterday, you said, 『water flowing in the river』. That was easier to understand.
No, you didnt understand that at all, did you? I wish you could at least use magic tools. You cant even use them at all.
Well, what can I do? I hate magic. Ah, but that doesnt mean Im going to slack off, you know?
I know, you dont have to tell me again.
It seemed like they were in the middle of magic practice.
(Carla still cant use magic tools, can she?)
Cordelia was under the impression that Carla would be able to use magic tools if shed left her to Ronnie for a few days and was surprised that she still hadnt become able to use them.
This was probably not a lie. Magic tools varied in operation time and range depending on the users magic power, and people who couldnt even use them for a second were rare. So, there was no need to purposely lie about it.
Cordelia met Ronnies eyes for a second, smiled and then went back downstairs. She didnt want to disturb them.
Carla wasnt irresponsible. She was completely ignorant in matters relating to magic, but she was able to write after 10 days of studying. Of course, she still made mistakes, but she was able to write simple letters. Cordelia thought that this was great, even if she was able to read in the first place.
(She seemed like she hated learning at first, but she does her work seriously.)
She also seemed like she hated magic, but she wasnt skipping her lessons.
(Shes probably a really diligent child.)
She thought that as she listened to the arguments that were going on above her. I should discuss this with Ronnie soon, she thought as she rested her chin on her hands.
When Carla finished her lessons, she returned to the servants rooms like the other servants did. Carla didnt have a room yet, so she stayed in a female magicians room as a freeloader. However, it wasnt like they couldnt prepare a room for her; they hadnt given her a room because she was still under observation. Another reason was that they could support her in anything she needed, since she was probably not used to her new lifestyle. Carla seemed puzzled at first, but 10 days had passed since then, and she seemed to be used to it by now.
Then as Carla walked away from the laboratory, Cordelia called out to Ronnie who was lying on the desk.
Good work today, Ronnie.
