The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 21

 

Tell Me About It, Grandma Fel! Magic Edition 2



The class continues while having another cup of tea.


I just finished learning that

・Anyone can use magic.

・Magic becomes more powerful, easier to control, and more flexible with skill. However, the consumption of mana increases.

・The power of magic changes depending on the amount of mana.


I encourage them to continue with the lesson, ruminating in my mind.


"I understood about the skill magic, but how does one manifest skill magic?"


Grandma Fel answered slowly.


"The shortest way is to use the [Life Magic] that we talked about in the first lesson. If you keep using it and have the aptitude for it, you will develop the skill."


"Aptitude…?"


"Yes. Magic has seven attributes. If you have an aptitude for one of them, it will manifest as a skill."


Sebas again began to explain.


"The attributes are fire, water, wind, earth, green, light, and darkness. However, only the five attributes other than light and darkness are used in [Life Magic], so only the five attributes other than light and darkness can be manifested in [Life Magic]."


"How do light and darkness manifest?"


Grandma Fel answered.


"Unfortunately, it is quite rare for light and darkness to be acquired. These two attributes are manifested as innate skills."


"Then... can't I get light and dark magic skills?"


"No. Light-boy should be able to acquire the [Light Magic] skill. Originally, [Recovery Magic] is light magic, so if you keep using it, I think you will be able to acquire [Light Magic] as a skill."


Again, Sebas joined the conversation.


"Originally, in order to learn [Recovery Magic], you first need the [Light Magic] skill. In Light-sama's case, the situation is reversed."


"That's right. To be honest, I was jealous of Light-boy. I was able to learn [Light Magic] with a lot of effort, but in the end, I couldn't learn [Recovery Magic] in the church."


Huh? It's kind of awkward...


The [God's Eye] has seen Grandma Fel's past, but the practice of learning [Recovery Magic] was quite tough.


The one that keeps emitting light magic for a long time......


"Fufufu. Don't look so apologetic, both of you. Thanks to my inability to learn, I was able to say goodbye to that stupid church."


Grandma Fel said so with a wry smile.



We got back on track and continued with the lesson. I asked her another question.


"What do you do after your skill magic manifests? Will the skill level just increase if you keep using it?"


Grandma Fel moistened her mouth with tea before answering.


"If you just want to increase your skill level, yes. However, as I explained about skill magic, you can do it however you like. It depends on your image, but in order to increase that image, you can watch others use it and learn how it can be used. As you increase your knowledge, experience, and skill level, you will be able to develop [Intermediate Magic], as well as derivative magic and compound magic skills.''


Sebas added.


"The derived skill of light magic is [Recovery Magic]."


Grandma Fel continues.


"Image is important when it comes to magic. There's a saying. In order to get that image, you need to study and train every day, and have flexible thinking. Magic is ever-changing. If you try to master it, there's no end to it."



I see. Sounds interesting.


"Magic seems interesting. I want to learn magic as soon as possible."


When I said that, the two looked a little troubled.


"Actually, I don’t think it would be a good idea to teach magic to a three-year-old child, but…"


"But, Sebas-san, at this age, Light-boy already has the same amount of mana as an adult. I don't think it would be a problem to teach him..."


The two of them started discussing it.


I wait while drinking tea until the two of them come to a conclusion.


Huh? What should I do……


I have magic skills, but should I fake it?


For now, the magic skills I have are water, wind, green, earth, and light... ah! So is [Recovery Magic].


Only fire and darkness are missing.



While I was panicking a little inside, it seemed like the two of them had finally reached a consensus.


"Light-sama, you don't have to practice magic. First, let's aim to learn [Life Magic]. Then, practice magic with [Life Magic]. However, practice magic only when I or Felticia-sama are present. Please do not use magic when you are alone.''


"I understand. Thank you Sebas."



In my mind, I was sweating, wondering how I could fake it...
