*ALL ANTRIBUTES*
Is she a little nervous? Jenna awkwardly announces. Somehow she shows shyness towards strangers or more precisely, she gives the impression of being too meek. The older brother should follow her example…is that even worth considering? I think she’s starting to open up considerably from the time we met, yet she is still distant.
My magic lessons will be held today, so I’m going to take a break from guild tasks. In the backyard of the inn, I face Jenna while sitting down on a worn out chair and table which I think isn’t being used by the inn.
Ah, because Jack said she’s not going to join us, she left for the guild in the morning to do tasks she can complete alone.
[Well then teacher.... Jenna]
[Te, Teacher…!.. Aauahha...…]
The teacher turns bright red and casts her eyes downwards. Dangerous, cute..
[So, what do we do first?]
[Ah, yes. Let’s start with the basics, however….. there are several [Attributes] in magic.]
[Attributes?]
[They’re things like fire and water. altogether there’s 7 attributes which are fire, water, earth, wind, light, dark and teleport. Even if it’s just a few among these, we found out yesterday that William has fire attribute.]
Aah, is it yesterday’s magic stone? I guess it’s surely certain that I have fire attribute because I was able to create fire.
[Although there was no problem because we found out the first time that you had Fire attribute, but if it is no good, we intend to try and use magic stones of different attributes.]
[Even if you say I can use magic, does that mean….each individual has a variety of attributes?]
[That’s right. By the way I can use 4 attributes: fire, water and light, wind As for the other 3, I can’t even use beginner magic. Also for the 4 attributes I can use, I’m good with fire attribute but I’m bad with light attribute.]
Does that mean for those people who are born here, they can’t choose for themselves? That means they have to leave it to God. God has his problems too.
[By the way, I can somewhat understand fire and water, but what about light, dark and teleport?]
[Another name for light is holy magic. It’s magic that uses light as a medium and healing magic is included here too. Dark is summoning magic…you can demon king and monsters through a contract. And now for teleport, this is a special magic that doesn’t fit with the other 6. It is the magic attribute for a majority of individuals. Older brother’s body strengthening is also of this attribute.]
I see. That seems to be a usable ability.
[All magic attributes magic manifests for the first time after the incantation has been completed. First let’s investigate them since we would be helpless if we don’t know your attributes.]
Then, Jenna takes out magic stones from her pouch and lines them up on the table. There are seven in total: red, blue, brown, green, yellow, purple and a unknown stone.
[Respectively they are fire, water earth, wind, light, dark. Let’s confirm them one by one.]
First I pick up a red magic stone and then concentrate my consciousness. I say the words that Jenna tells me.
[Come out, fire magic.]
The magic stone begins to catch fire and flar
[It’s alright, it isn’t hot for the person himself who produces the fire with magic, but please be careful because you will feel the heat if it were to spread to your clothes.]
[Is that so?]
I pick up the magic stone
once again and try to chant the incantation. It certainly isn’t hot once the fire ignites again. Will the user get burned if this was to spread to something else? I guess it seems it’s because the fire that spreads is no longer powered with magic….. At any rate, isn’t the flame too big?
[The magical power is too large, isn’t it?….I think you will be able to control it properly once you get used to it. Don’t concentrate on it so much for no. On the contrary, you might be able to suppress it a little if you’re distracted.]
I’ll try it like that even though that sounds strange. Because the blue magic stone has already been confirmed, I continue to the light brown magic stone and hold it with my hand. This time, I don’t concentrate on the magic stone and chant the words casually.
[Come out , earth magic.]
Fine grains of sand falls down from the magic stone ’zhohso onto the table. Aaah, it’s full of sand. I have to clean it later….
is the green magic stone.
[Come out, wind magic.]
This time a sudden gust of wind blows out and the sand on the table is blown away. Though, it’s not necessary to clean it anymore, but even the magic stone rolls away. Ahh, mou.
[Come out, light magic.]
Too bright! The magic stone emits a flash of light like a stroboscope in front of my eyes.
[Come out, darkness magic.]
This is one I don’t know. Something like a black haze begins to float around the magic stone. Spooky.
I notice Jenna’s funny expression after I finish confirming the 6 attributes. Even though she was pleased together with me a while ago, the number of times she spoke gradually decreases until her meek expression turns serious.
[…What’s wrong?]
[Aah, no, this is the first time I’ve seen a person who can use as many as 6 attributes….I can use 4. Even so, that kind of person is rare. But even so…amazing, your not a normal....]
So that’s why. Uun, this is also one of God’s gift for me, which results in this dishonest feeling of cheating. I feel somewhat guilty since there are people who can’t use magic even if they wanted to.
Well, can’t be helped even if I try to worry. The last one, I pick up the colourless transparent stone.
[…Huh? How do you activate this?]
I’ve used [Come out ,magic~] to invoke the previous ones until now, but is [Come out magic, nothing] fine? That feels a little weird.
[That unknown stone magic is special. The incantation isn’t particularly decided since you only need to concentrate magical power and the magic name to activate it.]
Hmm, is that so. That’s convenient. Colourless magic.
[For example, Older brother’s body reinforcement activates when she chants [improved]. In addition, [Power Rise] increases physical attack power and there’s also an unusual movement magic [teleport/Gate] that can be used to move great distances.]
So this is the convenient unknown magic stone that doesn’t apply with the other six attributes.
[…But, how can I find out what unknown stone magic I can use and how to use them?]
[Older brother Jake, said that she just somehow knows the magic name. The unknown stone magic is called personal magic because there’s rarely any other person who can use the same magic only sage cause that unknown magic stone but in this world we can't see a powerful mage.]
Errー, is that so. That’s inconvenient. Unknown stone magic.
[Then, right now I don’t know if I have aptitude for unknown stone magic or not…]
[No, we will know if you try to use any unknown stone magic with the magic stone you’re holding. Because even if the magic doesn’t activate, there should be some changes like the magic stone shines for a moment or shakes for a little.]
[What if there’s no change?]
[…I’m afraid that means there’s no aptitude for special stone magic.]
Well, let’s try something for now….
Wouldn’t it be convenient if I can use something like movement magic similar to yesterday when we had to walk on foot to the forest?
OK. With the unknown stone magic stone in hand, I try to mutter.
[Teleport/Gate.]
Suddenly, light is released from the magic stone and next to us I being teleport from Inn, emitting a pale light appears. The size is of teleport is only 10 meters. I imagined an Inn but thei being teleport to Inn.
[Hey.... What are you doing here
William?]
David was surprised when she saw William being teleport to his Inn.
[Ah..sorry, I being teaching of magic so i try the unknown stone magic and I cast the magic [Teleport] ]
[H-Huh?.... You can use that magic stone.... William your the second person use that Magic stone...
The first I know that use the teleport/Gate magic is a hero of this hometown.... That only I know.. you can go back now....]
....."
[So it was possible.]
[…So it is.]
Jenna answers to my words while staring blank in amazement.
As I timidly touch the plane, a ripple spreads from where my fingertip touches it. It’s as if it is made from a membrane of water. I extend my arm into the membrane and I draw it back when I confirm that there are no problems. Then I make up my mind and poke my face inside.
a forest spreading out jumps into my view and then there is the appearance of Jack on her behind with wide eyes.
[……What are you doing, Jack?]
[W, wh, what you say……William!? How did this happen!?]
I withdraw my face for a moment, then I lead Jenna by hand and we move together into the forest.
[Jenna too!? E-Eeh... what is this, where did you come out from!?]
Jenna briefly explains to the panicking Jack. Apparently, this seems to be the east forest that we went to yesterday. Jack was gathering herbs here that treated illnesses when a wall of light suddenly appeared and an arm extended out. It seems she was unable to stand up due to fear when the arms retracted. Well, that’s about it.
[It seems it can go anywhere that the teleport/gate magic user has been to once. Probably, when William used the magic, perhaps he thought about this place….]
Aah-, certainly. I thought about yesterday, not needing to walk, didn’t I?
[Haa-, at any rate, this means that you can use all attributes…. you’re a little strange.]
Jack mutters in amazement. Well, I can understand the feeling.
[I’ve never seen such a person who can use all attributes. William is amazing.]
Jenna feels admiration contrary to Jack. I couldn’t help but be wryly towards it.
It seems Jack’s herb collection is over, so as if finding a godsend ship, we pass through the gate together and return to the backyard of the inn.

[I came back in an instant even though it took three hours to go there. This magic is so convenient.]
Jack who said that is finished with her task and so, has gone to the guild.
We end the magic lecture here for the time being and thus we decide to come back into the inn because it will be lunch soon. I wonder what today’s menu will be. William let's go to dining hall.
