Chapter 3: Challenging Magic

Translated by AmaLynne

Edited by AmaLynne

TN: Sorry for the weird PoV that sometimes changes from 3rd person to 1st person.

This weird PoV may continue in a later chapter until I know how to fix it…

The next day at breakfast, Daphne handed me a book on magic.

Incidentally, Sam is taking his meals with Daphne and Derrick.

Apparently, an incompetent boy with no talent for the sword is not qualified to sit around the table with his fathers.

(Well, that makes me feel better… but it’s hard when Daphne and Derrick look at me with moist eyes, feeling sorry for me.)

When Derrick, the butler, saw Sam’s joy at being given the magic book, he cried, lamenting the treatment of the young boy, as did Daphne.

Daphne cried again, and when Sam struggled to make them stop crying, it seemed to make him look like a「 good kid 」and she shed more tears, which created a funny cycle.

―――Don’t get desperate even if you don’t have any magical talent.

Daphne and Derrick said such things to Sam, as if they had thought of that just in case.

Perhaps they were worried about how shocked the boy, who had hope in magic, would be if he didn’t have any magical talent.

As for Sam, he would just think of another way if he couldn’t use magic, so he just smiled and said,「 You’re overreacting. 」

Human beings have their weaknesses.

Even if you don’t have a talent for magic, you will find something that suits you if you are looking for it.

(Now that I’ve been reincarnated into another world, let’s look and move forward.)

Not that he is optimistic, but Sam tries to think positively.

When Sam returned to his room, he opened his magic book and started reading.

Fortunately, thanks to his memory, he can read, so it’s not hard for him.

In fact, he was more than happy to gain new knowledge.

(First of all, it’s important to know if I have the aptitude to be a wizard. No matter how much I want to be a magician, I can’t use magic if I don’t have the essential magical power.)

Wanted to use magic, and with that single-mindedness, Sam lost himself in reading the book.

And a few hours passed quickly.

「 …After all, you have to have magic in your body to use it. 」

The contents of the magic book were interesting.

In this world, wizards are rare, and those who can control magic to some extent are rare.

It turns out that adventurers and wizards in the service of the state are a rare existence, a handful of people with magic power, although there are superiority and inferiority from top to bottom.

「 I’m starting to get a little nervous… In a world where there are so few people with magic, I wonder if I conveniently have it? 」

If he did, he wondered if his father would have noticed and developed his talent earlier.

But he quickly shook his head.

Sam’s father, Carius, was not that kind of person.

In his mind, a son is only a person who can use a sword or not.

Even if Sam had magical powers and a certain talent as a wizard, he would not be interested in him.

Sam already had no expectations of his father.

The same was true for the boy Sam before he became the Sam he is today.

The only family that mattered to Samuel was Daphne and Derrick.

「 I guess there’s no point in thinking about it. If I follow this book, I can tell if I have magic or not by casting a simple spell, right? 」

It’s a simple method, but if you have magic power, you can cast simple magic, and use that to determine.

Magic association has a magic tool that can measure the magic power, but there is no way that a small nobleman’s house in the countryside can have such a fancy tool.

「 Well, what again…? Even if I don’t see results once or twice, keep persevering. How many times do I have to try to be persistent? 」

It’s not always easy to succeed with even basic magic.

This does not mean that you don’t have magic power, but the book says that you need to try several times.

However, it seems that how many times you should try depends on the person, and how many times you should try to conclude seems to be vague.

「 There’s no point in worrying about it. Let’s give it a try. 」

Sam is getting nervous.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the future of your life in another world will be determined by your magical ability.

Whether you can become a wizard, or whether you have no talent and have to look for something else, depends on the next result.

(Oh no, I’m so nervous my stomach is starting to hurt.)

My hands start to shake as I hold the book.

「 Don’t freak out, let’s do this! 」

Scolding himself for drowning out his anxiety, Sam held up his index finger.

He took a deep breath and wished for the magic to come out.

And then he chanted.

「 ―――Let there be fire. 」

What came out of the boy’s mouth was the first step in the process of fire magic.

Even if he succeeded, he would only be able to light a small fire at his fingertips.

But,

―――*Roar!*

A pillar of fire rose from Sam’s finger with a sound.
