Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 101

Pov  : Henriette Lilly von Bernstein

“Now, Lily is next. Your training program.”

“Yes, Master.”

Master. I remember that Eberhard had the best teachers, his parents, but Lilly doesn’t ?”

Marie asked me as she looked at Hal.

“Yes,” I replied”. My parents are far from being fighters. I had a few tutors through the Duke’s family, but none of them stayed with me long enough to be called masters.”

“You didn’t learn from Eberhard, did you?””

I had a few occasions to ask for advice from Hal, but I didn’t learn much from him. …… I didn’t really learn much from him because of the distances between our houses and because I wanted to be beside him with my own power.

“You don’t want to just be protected. ”

The master’s expression is somewhat joyful as she says so.

“Yes.”

Hal, he’ s a great guy. He’s a little dirty and a little out of touch, but he has a strong sense of values and is able to work hard for the sake of what he protects. His magic and fighting skills are great, though I think that’s what’s really great about him.

“I see. So that’s how you awakened to space-time magic.”

“That was by chance. The first thing I learned to use was the ice attribute.”

The ice attribute is a relatively rare attribute, although not as rare as space-time magic. It is said that people with a high affinity for the magic of the wind attribute and the water attribute tend to awaken to it.

. Well, there are only a few people in history who can use the space-time magic . There is room for them to improvement it.

“I would like to think so.”

“I can’t use space-time magic. However, I will give you my suggestions on what I know and what I notice, is that all right?”

Yes, I do. Yes, please do so.

“I understand. Then, while focusing on space-time magic, let’s also expand on the ice attribute and non-attribute . For now, you can focus on the space-time magic to be developed. If you notice anything, let me know.”

“I understand.”

Saying this, the master headed toward Iris. The master said he could not use space-time magic, but she was still the most powerful mage in the empire who had lived for 200 years. There must be something to gain for sure.

With the joy of approaching a higher level in my heart, I began practicing to develop the of the space-time magic .

“And Iris. You are good at light magic, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“I would think that the main thing about light magic is heal, but you have a rare type of spells that excels at offensive magic, aren’t you?”

“I once saw a glass cup of water hit by the sun’s rays, and the wall became very bright. That’s when I learned to use offensive spells like I do now.”

“So you were using ordinary healing light sells before that?”

“Yes, but only enough to heal a small injures . ”

I see. ……. Aren’t you satisfied with that?”

Marie asks in a slightly agitated manner, but I have just learned that this is not a question she is asking actually . This is Marie’s way of drawing out her true question . It is a way that stimulates my rivalry and ambition, but I feel a little annoyed and frustrated.

“I want to be more like Halt , who can defeat any opponent with a single blow, and use amazing spells .”

“I see. You wanted to enhance your light spells , which is quite rare and useful, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

Marie grinned and continued.

“It requires big amount of magic like Eberhard’s and a precise control over it. It’s like carrying dozens of kilograms of weight on your back and traversing a great mountain range. In addition, there is no guarantee that you will be able to makes it. It’s going to be a very hard training, will you be able to endure it?”

“I was even able to get in the special division , which I had half thought to be impossible. If that is the case, I would like to go as far as I can.”

“It is wonderful to see a young people with ambition. Let’s start with the basic training. Fortunately, it seems that you have never received any proper instruction, and I think you will grow a lot if you start from the basics.”

“I will do my best.”

“Mm.”

I can go further. When I look at Marie and Halt, I feel such conviction. Something that cannot be explained by logic rises up from the depths of my heart and inspires me.

Pov : Eberhard Karlheinz von Flensburg Fahrenheit

While I was practicing magic circulation, Marie and Iris turned to me. It seemed that she had decided on a training plan for all of us. Marie comes back to me with the two of them.

“Now that we decided on a general training plan for all of you, there are two more magic spells that you’ll need to learn.”

“Two more?”

. We all have different specialties, but it’s unusual to learn in the same spell .

“Master, what is this magic you want us to learn?”

“Well, the first is the Divine Beast Contract.”

“Divine Beast Contract?”

. I have heard of summoning monsters, but I have heard that monsters are generally violent, irrational, and difficult to deal with. I’ve also heard that some of them are rare, but I’ve heard that it’s not a unique trait of their race, so it’s completely left up to luck. If a monster bites your hand, it would probably cause more than just a injury.

Because of this, there are not many people who use monsters as messengers. By the way, there are some ordinary animals that are not monsters (in other words, they do not have magic stones) and are kept as normal animals at all. Dogs, cats, and pigeons such animals. Cattle and sheep are also count in .

…… and that cow reminded me that, the Lumia cow is a monster . It is a rare creature that coexists with human beings. However, I doubt there are any other monsters that are as close to humans as the Lumia cow.

“Aren’t they different from monsters ?””

Iris, who seems to have thought the same , asks Marie. Marie seemed to have expected that question and nodded her head and said,

“A divine beast is a being that is half spirit and half animal. In other words, they are similar to demon . However, unlike them , they are not ferocious, but intelligent one .”

Spirits, huh? I remember that Mei used spirit magic during her training. The Dwarves are loved by the spirits, so they are easy to contact them .

“I have a few contracts with divine beasts. Let me show you an example. Peter, the white-haired rabbit of the forest, come here to accept the contract.”

The next moment, Marie clap her palms together as if she were clapping her hands together and chanted a spell at the same time.

A huge magic circle several meters in length appeared , and something appeared from it with a dazzling light. When the light subsided, there was a huge white rabbit, perhaps three meters long and two meters high.

“Wooooooo!”

There was a huge rabbit right in front of us . Even though it was a herbivore, a rabbit nearly two meters in size would have scared me to death. It was cute, with dull eyes, but the glimpse we got of its mouth and its vicious front teeth, which are unique to the heavy-dentates, was horrifying. It is so powerful that it could probably even gnaw through a steel plate.

……

It seems that rabbits can’t talk in this world as well, and Peter the white-haired forest rabbit (Peter is a man’s name, right?) was being petted by Marie without making any sound. He’s so cute even if he’s big. I don’t feel like I would lose in a figh with him t, but it’s cute enough that I don’t think I would actively want to fight it.

Compared to other animals, rabbits have no power, and I can’t help but think that their cuteness is the reason why they have survived in the natural world without being hunted .

I WAS thinking about such escapism, but in any case, i was overwhelmed by the super large beast that was stand before us.
