Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 100

to be trained by Marie on a one-on-one base until the other participants arrived.

“First, Eberhard. ”

“Yes, by all means.”

I instructed Lily and Iris to wait and perform what they could do on their own, and Marie turned to me.

“Now, Eberhard. Your goal is to master the attribute magic, isn’t it?

“Fortunately, I have never been in a fatal situation in my battles, but there have been several times when I could have fought a little more comfortably if I had been able to use other magic. From now on, I’ m going to be fighting against many more opponents, such as demons and the Principality Federation, and I want to be able to handle any situation.”

you have a talent , no doubt about it , but despite it you have no ability to use other magics .

Usually, no matter how weak, an attribute magic is never completely unusable. Most of the time, the magics are quite weak, only enough to create a spark of fire or moisten the fingertips, but even so, there have been few cases in past history where it was completely unable to be used.

I say mostly because it was rare. People like me who could not use attribute magic at all. However, they all had their own unique magic without exceptions. They were cursed word users who could make their enemies die just by chanting, or they could manipulate the law of destiny to twist fate, and I heard that they used god-like magic that was far beyond the realm of human beings.

However, all of these stories are from the time of the founding of the empire, or even before, so a tale more than 1,500 years old is half fictional, and in fact, is likely to include a great deal of overstatement.

In short, I, who cannot use attribute magic, am quite doubtful from Marie’s point of view.

“Hmmm. As the legend says, is it possible that the powerful inherent magic is suppressing the attribute magic?”

“Well”.

To be honest, I’m not sure about that. but I don’t really know what it is. It could be said that it was thanks to my “practice makes perfect,” but it’s still the result of my own hard work.

If there is any doubt, it is probably the existence of the unique skill “practice makes perfect” or the memory of a previous life. It is clear that [practice makes perfect], which always rewards hard work and has no growth limit, is a powerful ability that is comparable to the unique magic that appears in myths and legends.

However, I cannot tell Marie about these circumstances. I am not ready to let others know about the my memories from my previous life, let alone skill “Practice make perfect”

My consciousness has always been linked to my previous life. I have an ego as Eberhard that has grown as I have matured, based on the image of me when I was Japanese. For me, the me I was when I was Japanese is me, and Eberhard is also me, not a stranger. The feeling is similar to the gap between my consciousness when I was a child and when I became an adult. Even if my personality and knowledge have changed to some degree, there is still some sense of continuity and identity, just as a person I am still the same person.

Therefore, it is not as if I had taken over someone else’s body or was a different person from myself in a previous life, as is often the case in many fantasy novels. I am myself, and since I was born as a human being in this world, I do not feel that I am an aberration. In that sense, I am very comfortable in this world.

However, that being said, I still don’t really want to talk about the fact that I have memories of a previous life. I don’t have a problem with it, …. That’s what people might say, “You’re an adult on the inside, but you’ve been fawning over children. “Even if they don’t say it directly because of my status, there is a good chance that they will have that kind of impression of me.

Looking at Lily, Mei, and Iris, I don’t think there’s nearly as much chance of them thinking that way. I think they are very understanding of me, and I don’t think they would hate me for that level of confidentiality. Or rather, if the relationship is so tight that it can be cut off by something like that, I wouldn’t have allowed myself to be so open about it in the first place.

So there is no problem. I know that, but I just can’t bring myself to tell the truth. I will have to tell them someday. I can’t keep it a secret for the rest of my life, and more than anything, I don’t want to keep it a secret. I want to be honest with people who care about me.

“Well, you will understand the reason sooner or later. For now, put aside the reason why you can’t use attribute magic, and think about what you can do if you can’t use it.”

“. I understand.”

“Right, now is the time to train. We don’t have time to worry about the unanswerable questions. Let’s just turn it around.”

“If you can’t use attribute magic, you can use non-attribute magic to cover for it. I think this is not a wrong way of thinking. In fact, I can use all four attributes, but I am better at non-attribute magic.”

…… “Well, then, Eberhard. I will ask you to take over all of the thousand non-attribute magic that I have at my disposal.

So, Marie declared.

……………… Whats?

“What?　A thousand?　Not a hundred?”

, “Yes, a thousand. spells , to me more correctly a thousand and twenty-one.”

“Oh, really? ……!”

1021. even if I learn three in a day, that’s 340 days. In other words, it would take almost a year.

“Oh no, a thousand is tough on stone. …… There’s also the assignment with the Special Division: …….”

“Don’t worry. You can do it. There are not many people that can use that amount of magic and manipulate magic at your age. You are a rare kind of mage.”

“Oh, how embarrassing.”

“So you are going to start practicing right away.”

“I’ll do my best …….”

Apparently, I’ m seriously going to be forced to learn a thousand magic spells. It sounds crazy tough, but I guess I’ll have to do it when I get here. …… I’ m going to try …… my hardest.

“For now, you can manipulate your magic power and wait. I’m going to discuss training plan with the two other.”

“Yes, okay.”

After saying this, Marie headed toward Lily. I slapped my cheek as I stared at her back and got into the daily routine of practicing magic manipulating .
