“What do you think, your highness?” Tetsuya with a smile asked Augustav as he put back the cup that he dropped on the table.

Augustav slowly calmed down, as did everyone else who was shocked by the magic that Tetsuya just showed them. Though not entirely as what Tetsuya just showed to everyone is magic such as the little fire orb which Tetsuya created with [Pyrokinesis], which can be called an ability rather than magic, though it can be called magic in some way since he using mana to create it or maybe not.

“Unbelievable… To think there is such power that doesn’t require Shingu or Teigu… It seems the thing that you called magic is not a power that is from a consumable Teigu either.” Said Augustav as he still had a bewildered expression while looking at Kanshou and the cup that was near Tetsuya.

When Tetsuya heard the words ‘consumable Teigu’, he showed a confused expression while looking at Augustav. But after thinking a bit, Tetsuya arrived at a conclusion that the ‘consumable Teigu’ that Augustav was referring to is probably something like ‘Demon’s Extract’ and such similar Teigus.

“This is a shameless request that I’m gonna ask you, but if I were to ask you to teach your Magic to the Empire, would you perhaps consider accepting it? Of course, If you were to accept it, I’m going to give you the appropriate payment that you can consider very good.” Augustav stood as he then bowed to Tetsuya which made everyone except for Tetsuya who is around Augustav to show a surprised expression, but slowly their expression changed into a confused one. Tetsuya who looked at Augustav only looked at him with a deadpan while thinking if there’s something wrong with Augustav’s head.

Tetsuya then lowered his head as his hair shadowed his eyes and went silent for a moment before he raised his head with a Jojo face as he plainly said.

“I refuse.”

‘In the first place, who would want to teach the whole Empire on how to use magic?! It’s just way too troublesome and I don’t wanna waste my time on training someone who I don’t even know. Even awakening someone’s Mana in this world is mentally tiring.’ Lazely thought Tetsuya while his right eye was twitching in his mind.

“I see, that’s too bad.” Augustav, who heard Tetsuya’s reply could only give up as he then sighed while sitting down.

“Sorry your highness, but it seems you have requested something that is very impossible to do… How can you ask a 12 years old boy to teach one whole big Empire?” Said Tetsuya who still showed a deadpan towards Augustav.

Augustav just realized something was wrong with the question he just asked after hearing Tetsuya’s reply.

“It seems that somehow I have asked something that is very rude for you to do, for that I’m sorry.” Said Augustav while showing a wry smile while looking at Tetsuya.

“It’s okay your highness, I know a lot of unexpected things happen today, and after I have shown you magic, I don’t blame your highness for asking me such a question since it almost seems that to your highness eyes, I can do almost impossible things.” Said Tetsuya while sighing.

Everyone who heard this only stayed quiet as they cannot deny Tetsuya’s statement since the things that they saw are something out of the context of what they called normal.

“But there is another reason why I don’t accept your highness request, and that is because that normal person cannot learn ‘Magic’.” Said Tetsuya with a serious expression crept on his face.

“What do you mean?” Augustav then asked Tetsuya, confused.

“There is a reason why a human can use magic and that is because to use magic We all need something that’s called Mana in our body.”

“Mana?” Augustav, still confused, asked Tetsuya about the meaning of ‘Mana’.

“Without the appropriate amount of Mana in your body, you cannot use magic. Let’s just say that Mana is a fuel for all of you people to use magic.”

“Then if we have Mana, will we be able to learn this so-called Magic” Suddenly, Budo joined the conversation as he is interested in the topic.

“It’s true that you can learn Magic by having Mana, but that is not always the case since people who don’t have Mana or have a little Mana in their body cannot learn Magic.”

“So do you mean that…” Budo who heard this is able to guess why Tetsuya is saying all of this.

“Yeah. Everyone that I have met until this day in this continent doesn’t have any mana or at best only have a small amount of Mana which isn’t enough to perform magic,”

Everyone who heard this can only gave up upon hearing Tetsuya’s explanation directly. Suddenly Tetsuya continued his sentence which caused everyone to look at Tetsuya.

“Except for one person that has a massive mana,” Said Tetsuya as he slowly looks at Katherine with a smile on his face.

“Y-you don’t mean that!?” Augustav, who looked at Tetsuya, noticed that Tetsuya was looking at Katherine.

“Yes, that person that I’m implying is Katherine, your Highness.” Said Tetsuya who still showed a smile on his face.

“Eh…?” Katherine, who only stayed quiet most of the time right now, was looking toward Tetsuya with a confused expression for a moment before changing her expression into a bewildered one.

“””What?!!””” Everyone who heard Tetsuya’s last sentence can only be dumbfounded by him as they didn’t expect that Katherine herself has mana.

“What do you mean by that Tetsuya?” Asked Augustav bewildered while looking at Tetsuya.

“I mean what I mean your highness. Katherine has the potential to learn Magic since she has a massive amount of mana.” Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face while replying to Augustav.

“No, what I mean that is-” Augustav, who heard Tetsuya’s reply, is still a bit confused. He is then about to clarify what he wants to say but is instantly cut by Tetsuya before he is able to ask a question.

“About how Katherine was able to obtain her mana, right?”

Augustav who heard this only nodded at Tetsuya with a curious expression on his face.

“It is simply because she was born with mana.”

“W-what…” Augustav who heard this shows a surprised expression as he currently is so speechless, which is also the same as everyone who hears this.

“In other words, every person who had been hit by this so-called disease Hormoid probably had loads of mana inside them.”

Everyone who hears this can only stay quiet since they didn’t expect that a very dangerous disease such as Hormoid is related to this discussion.

“This is just a hypothesis since the only patient that I handled with this kind of disease is only Katherine, but the real reason why kids who have suffered Hormoid die is due their mana has exceeded the very maximum limit that their body can handle which slowly destroyed their body.”

“So you mean after all this time, all the kids who died with Hormoid had a big amount of mana.” Augustav who was in disbelief sighed with a tired expression on his face. On the other hand, Tetsuya who heard him only replied with a nod.

“Then the thing that I feel surrounding us right now is magic?” Katherine then looks at Tetsuya while trying to make sure what she saw was truly magic.

“Yep, that’s correct.” Said Tetsuya while nodding with a smile as he right now looks at Katherine.

Right now, Augustav and the others can truly believe that Katherine has big mana inside her body after hearing Katherine’s statement just now.

“I didn’t expect that all of this would be overwhelming me this much…” Said Augustav while showing a very tired expression on his face as he sighs.

“S-So if you were to teach me magic then that means you can stay here right? You are not going to leave this place right?” Asked Katherine while hoping that Tetsuya is going to say yes to her. Tetsuya who heard Katherine only thinks for a while and then replies to her.

“… It seems I don’t think that it’s possible for me to stay here Katherine, but don’t worry, I’ll still teach you magic.” Said Tetsuya with a wry smile on his face.

Katherine who just heard Tetsuya’s reply felt happy that Tetsuya was going to teach her magic since with Tetsuya teaching her magic, this will make her be able to see Tetsuya more often. The reason that she stayed quiet was because the meeting in the garden might be the last time she will ever see him, but when she heard that she has the potential to learn magic, she is so happy that this is a chance for her.

But at the same time, Katherine was also confused about why Tetsuya rejected staying here since she thought that the palace is the most luxurious place people could stay in the Empire. That made her show a sad expression as she then asked another question to Tetsuya.

“Can I ask why you can’t stay here?” Asked Katherine, a sad expression on her face while looking at Tetsuya.

“That’s because right now I live with someone that I consider as a family, and my house is very far away (and I’m more comfortable staying at my own house rather than someone else’s).”

“If that’s so, how’s it that you’re gonna teach me magic if your house is far away.” Said Katherine with a pout.

“Ah, so that is what bothers you… You don’t need to worry about it since I also have the power to teleport so it is easy for me to go to a very far away place.” Said Tetsuya while trying to calm down Katherine.

When Augustav and the others who heard about Tetsuya having the ability to teleport, they showed a surprised expression but only for a moment since they already got used to the things that Tetsuya showed. The reason for their surprise is because this power of his is so similar to the Teigu ‘Shambhala’, which has a similar ability with Tetsuya’s power.

“I-Is that so, then good.” Said Katherine who was a bit surprised by Tetsuya’s power, but still felt happy nonetheless, she even did a little victory dance in her mind.

“Your highness, I expect your highness to pay me the appropriate payment for teaching Katherine okay?” Asked Tetsuya who then slowly turned his head toward August while sighing.

“A-ah… Yes of course.” Augustav, still thinking about Tetsuya’s power in his mind, is brought back to reality by Tetsuya’s question as he then nods at Tetsuya.

“Anyways Tetsuya… Is the person who you consider family is a male or female?” Asked Katherine while fidgeting her finger with a nervous expression.

Tetsuya who heard this can only look at Katherine while staying quiet as he somehow has a bad feeling answering with ‘female’, but he also somehow feels a death flag if he goes with the answer ‘male’ which would make bloodbath if the other party figures that he is lying. Before he is able to answer, Katherine then said something to him.

“So it’s a female.”

“…”
