The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 59: A man named Leeya Horse

Youre getting more stable.

Yeah, I guess so. I think so, too.

It was mid-afternoon.

I saw Kunon and Leeya near the school building, away from where the smoker was.

Leeya floating with wind magic, and Kunon looking up at him.

Its not high.

Leeyas stomach is about the height of Kunons head.

-The most frightening thing about training in flying magic is any accident of height and speed.

If you mismanage your magic and crash into the ground, a tree, or a rock, you cant avoid getting hurt.

Thats why its good to practice at such a height.

Weve been doing this since this morning, right? Do you think its going to hold up during the day?

I think so.

We were going to start training for flight.

In the morning, we were only going to maintain the levitation, and in the afternoon, we were going to try it out in earnest.

The first thing that Kunon ordered Leeya to do was to use the magic for staying in midair, wind levitation, for a long time in a stable manner.

Unlike Hank, the younger Leeya is still not very good at manipulating and controlling magic.

He still lacks the experience as a simple magician to use magic.

In order to make up for this lack of experience, he was able to maintain the wind levitation for a long time.

I strongly recommended it to Leeya, especially since he hadnt done much in the way of using and maintaining magic for long periods of time.

What Kunon wants from Leeya is to fly.

If he is not able to manipulate and control his magic, it will be very dangerous.

In fact, Kunon had had an accident once.

And that was in the royal castle of the Huglia Kingdom.

He managed to get out of the accident unscathed by his quick thinking, but Dario, the knight, was angry with him afterwards, which is still a bitter memory that he cannot forget.

And Kunon knows from experience that using and maintaining magic for a long time is the best way to train the manipulation and control of magic power.

In fact, Leeya has become so accustomed to it in such a short time.

At first, he wasnt very stable, but now he can maintain it from morning to noon with ease.

Well, lets start today. Are you ready, boy?

Oh, yeah

Leeyas voice darkened slightly, but I didnt care.

Im not going to get hurt anyway.

However, Kunon can understand that he still doesnt want to do it because he is afraid.

Magic is manifested from a sigil.

It becomes magic by drawing a sigil floating somewhere on the body with magical power.

Strangely enough, from the time the crest appears on the body, the sorcerer is able to draw the crest with his senses.

At first, by saying certain keywords the name of the magic, such as water ball a ori or wash bubble the sigil is automatically drawn.

Once you get used to it, you wont need to say it anymore.

This is the basic magic.

And thats where the story begins.

It is possible to change the magic by deliberately disrupting, shifting, moving, overlapping, or distorting the completed emblem.

This is the way to create individuality and originality in magic.

A skilled magician will have a wide range of applications for a single magic.

Some of them can be changed to the point of being unrecognizable.

However, these are often the trump cards of individual sorcerers, so they are never published or announced.

The same goes for the flight I ordered from Leeya.

It is a typical there is a magic that is known to fly, but its use has not been announced magic.

We all expected that the flight would be an original addition to some kind of wind levitation magic.

However, even if the theory is correct, the story is very different when it comes to actually doing it.

Lets try it then.

Kunon said, and Leeya was enveloped in a soft water ball.

Leeya Hose is the second son of a baronial family in a small country known as the countryside.

He was born into the aristocracy, but his family was so poor that he probably lived a poorer life than the richest merchant in the country.

In such a fly-by-night baronial family, a promising sorcerer was born.

That was Leeya.

His father, a money-losing baron, worked very hard to raise the money to pay for her education as a sorcerer.

It was probably due to various calculations and an investment in the future.

If Leeya becomes a successful sorcerer, he will be able to earn a lot of money.

If he did, he would at least be able to escape his life of poverty.

If he was an excellent sorcerer, it was not only a dream anymore to marry into a higher-ranking family.

Hes not a duke, but theres a good chance that he can get married to a count.

and there must have been a great deal of such calculation.

It was not a bad deal for Leeya either.

His brother, the heir to the family fortune, was well educated, but his younger brothers and sisters, including himself, were not.

I dont want my younger brother and sister to be poor.

If I wanted to, I could send them to a school in the city.

Of course, I want to be respectful to my parents.

And above all, I want to become a great sorcerer for my future.

Leeya was educated as a sorcerer and studied hard.

As a result, Leeyas skills grew rapidly.

It was partly because he had a strong desire to learn, and partly because there were only a small number of sorcerers in the small country.

Even if we discounted these factors, Leeyas growth was remarkable.

At some point in time, he had become an apprentice sorcerer, so much so that he was even said to be an excellent candidate to be confirmed as a royal court sorcerer in the future in the country.

Its not just his parents, but even the countrys top officials had high hopes for him, and he was sent to the magic city of Dillashick with all his heart, and

? Whats wrong? Youre not going to do it?

No, its nothing

And now, Im a little devastated.

Now?

No, not since the entrance exam.

In my homeland, I was called a genius and a child prodigy, and I had a certain amount of confidence.

But ever since I saw Kunons magic, that confidence was shattered without a second thought. He was shattered. It was dust.

The water ball that enveloped him now was of a different caliber than Leeyas magic.

Kunon is said to be able to use only two kinds of magic.

So what?

If you include the number of applications, even twenty or thirty would not be enough.

Ill do it then.

Yes. Im going to record you flying and rolling all over the place.

Dont record me rolling.

Oh, really? Failure is also a great sample. Okay. Ill replace the part where you fell with I talked to a girl.

Oh, then Ill just roll over.

We must never allow any number of failures to be described as talking to girls, which can only lead to misunderstandings.

Ive already failed a hundred times, and Im going to fail many more times today.

-The water ball that surrounds Leeya is a cushion to keep him from getting hurt if he fails to fly, and it has saved him from a hundred accidents.

A slightly thick film of water.

With this, no matter how fast I fall or roll on the ground, I cant help but feel dizzy and scared.

How fortunate to be able to train for the flight while staying safe.

However, my heart is mixed.

I cant help but think that if Kunon had the Wind Sigil, he would have learned to fly by now.

A frog in a well does not know the ocean.

I was confident, but I knew that there were people above me in the world.

I never forgot to be humble and to learn.

But still.

I had a certain feeling that I could not and would not be defeated by my peers.

Now, that feeling has been shattered. Its dust.

Its hard.

Although Kunon often leaves the room to do business, he returns just as often to check on the situation.

I think its because its a magic that Kunon himself is interested in.

I made a lot of mistakes today.

Ive tried more than a hundred times, and I still havent succeeded in getting Leeya to fly.

The Wind Levitation is a floating magic.

You can move slowly, but it is so fast that it is more appropriate to say that you are drifting.

Floating magic.

To this, I add the originality of speed

The result is usually a slight increase in speed, but still slow, or a crash due to miscontrol of the magic power.

Hmmm The failures are all very similar, arent they? If, then maybe theyre fundamentally different.

Fundamentally?

Yes. When you try things out, there are little changes, so you can figure out what to fix. But if theres no significant change after this much trial, then maybe the base magic is wrong in the first place. You might want to consider other possibilities.

The base magic is different.

Its just a matter of time before hell be able to do it.

Even so, Leeya thinks frantically.

I cant help you with this, so Ill just have to ask you to do your best.

I know. I know.

So, how about this one?

The attributes are different, and Kunon doesnt know much more than a textbook about wind magic.

However, he was still able to talk to Leeya as usual, so his knowledge and expertise in magic was quite impressive.

Hes not just a strange child.

We talked about this and that, and one by one, we eliminated the possibilities.

This was also something that Leeya had never done before.

However, trial and error with friends was more fun than he thought.

If it wasnt for my shiftiness, I wouldnt have anything to say.

Hey! Kunon!

Sorry, Ill be out of your sight for a bit! Dont be shy about flying!

Kunon, who was called by the girls, went with great speed. He didnt even look aside anymore. I cant see him anymore, though.

Okay, lets do it.

But now its not about Kunon, its about me.

Leeya desperately tried to find a way to fly, thinking about the magic he had as well as the Wind Levitation.

The next day, Leeyas flight was somehow successful.

But Kunon was not there.

Leeya was recruited by the Rational faction and decided to belong to it.
