“I hate to admit it, Maria, but magic is not your thing.” Emeraldine said reluctantly. “Somehow, despite being able to conjure “magic” with your Unique Skill, if you try any traditional approach you just… you simply can’t.”

“Eh?!”

I was currently inside a large room within the Demon King’s Castle. Yesterday Emeraldine had said she would include me in the Magic Conjuration Classes. There were several people with talent for that, some adults, and some children. Even my twins were here learning magic!

However, things ended turning badly as I tried using the conjurations, which were a complicated mess to use! You have to somehow combine runes you create through words and then gather them inside a magic circle… and then infuse mana again to create magic! Seriously?! How can I do that in just a few seconds like Emeraldine does?

She gets help from the Spirits, of course! S-So that’s why I am failing there!

…Or I am just relying on my Unique Skills so much that my actual talent for magic is just atrophied.

That’s also a possibility.

“I-I’ve already made you try the lowest possible Darkness Attribute Spell, Black Dot, and you still can’t bring it traditionally… I would say your Magic is something akin to what I would call “Imagination Magic” which is still fairly limited. You can intuitively learn and use magic spells of your attributes.” Said Emeraldine. “But traditional spell casting, with its intricacies and more, seems hopeless for you.”

“Ugh… You’re so ruthless with me…” I sighed, feeling down. I wanted to use traditional magic because I had heard that if I combine it with Skills, even stronger magic can come out. However, it appears I am terribly untalented at it.

“Auntie, look!” Takeshi called me, as he suddenly generated a basic magic circle, and then another, and another. His limit was three, and they all shone bright blue. In mere seconds, three spears made of water emerged. “I learned Spiraling Water Spear!”

“G-Good job, Takeshi! I am so proud of you…!” I said while containing my disappointment on myself for being outperformed by a child. Takeshi seemed to be naturally gifted with good memory and magic comprehension, so he was able to bring out magic easily.

“And this too!”

Suddenly, he conjured Darkness Magic, several small spheres of darkness named Black Dot, which can be sued as small bullets. They all floated around his other hand. Wow, this child was a genius magician! And he still got that magical fishing rod thingy too…

“I seem to also have Darkness Attribute affinity!” Laura quickly spoke after Takeshi, as if she wanted my attention or that of Emeraldine. She went one step ahead, generating arrows made of darkness and then conjuring floating Fireballs. “And Fire!”

“That’s amazing… Well done, Laura!” I said with a forced smile.

Wow, must be nice to have colorful elements such as Water and Fire! I only got dark, dark, and more dark- Well, actually, I have Darkness, Death, Poison, and Illusion.

But even trying my best affinity, Darkness, was futile. So trying the other elements through a traditional way would be probably quite hopeless. I just suck at this.

“Children, it seem all of you are quite good at this!” Emeraldine said, quickly trying to ignore my gloomy face as she praised everybody else. Everyone except me managed to bring out their magic potential and got new Skills out of it. I even saw some with Life and Light Magic, we had more variety than we thought.

“Yaaaay!”

Everyone seemed happy about their lessons and continued practicing magic. Emeraldine was quite versed for someone that can only use Light and Nature elements. It seems she had learned a lot back in her village, and with the many books I had stolen before, we had a lot of source for the creation of magic circles of various elements.

When Classes ended, Emeraldine sat down at my side and began caressing my head as if I was a lost puppy or something. I might be slightly sad again but not for her to just pity me!

“It’s alright, we can keep trying tomorrow.” Emeraldine said with a gentle smile.

“Ugh… Okay.” I sighed.

Honestly I didn’t wanted to continue trying. It was getting stressful… But I can’t say no to that smile.

“I believe your talent at using traditional magic has simply been… slightly atrophied.” Said Emeraldine. “I am sure that you’ll eventually awaken it. In that moment, when you merge your Magic Skills with Traditional Magic Circles, you will be able to unleash even stronger magic, and also make it more complicated, surpassing what you can actually imagine within the limits of your powers.”

Emeraldine seemed very decided to teach me magic, I wasn’t going to be able to escape from her grasp, no matter how hard I would try.

“Okay, teacher, I’ll do my best. Are there any books with Death, Poison, and Illusion Magic spells?” I wondered. “My imagination regarding them is limited to be honest. I need a bit more of examples to increase what I can bring with them.”

“Ah yes! Are you going to study? Then these, this one as well! And this!” Emeraldine threw a pile of five books over my desk. “These should be good!”

“A-Ah… I guess I will, thank you.” I sighed, grabbing them, and storing them inside my Inventory.

I suppose delving in the true origins of magic, how people discovered it alongiside their Soul Books, and everything else, will be rather important for me to figure out ways to make my magic even stronger than merely leveling up. We’ll be going to the Dwarf territory in about a month from now, so I’ll use this opportunity to grow stronger as much as I can.

Monsters around here are rare though, and if we find them, they give pitiful amounts of EXP as well. Slaying my Dungeon Monsters also give pitiful amounts of EXP, so there’s no other way for me than to sit and wait for a challenge to come my way one day. I believe the Dwarves might have some dungeons there.
