When I held out the bear puppet, Fina reached it with her tiny hand with a large ring on her index finger. I held her hand in the bear puppets mouth.

Well then, lets begin. (Yuna)

Ye, yes. (Fina)

Fina closed her eyes as I did the same thing I did to Noa. I channeled my magic power and let Fina feel it.

Finas body jolted.

Theres a weird thing that is flowing through my body. (Fina)

Weird thing? Thats magic probably.

Ill try pouring it around your body, so feel your magical power. (Yuna)

Yes. (Fina)

Fina concentrated with her eyes closed. She imagined the magic power flowing from my right hand to her left hand, chest, stomach, head, and feet. Since its not my body, I dont know if its actually flowing. I just imagined it. But Fina felt the magic power, and her body jerked.

So? (Yuna)

I can feel something flowing through my body, just like Noa-sama said. (Fina)

Thats magic. Feel it. (Noa)

Yes. (Fina)

Fina nodded at Noas advice.

Yuna-oneesan. Please let go of my hand. Ill try. (Fina)

I made the bear puppets mouth let go of Finas hand that it was holding. Fina, whose hand was free, clenched her fists in prayer with both hands. I wanted to say, Good luck, but she was concentrating, so I stopped.

Fina gathered magic power in her hand. Then opened her mouth.

Glow! (Fina)

Finas right hand was glowing dimly when Fina uttered the word.

I did it. (Fina)

Fina, congratulations. (Noa)

Thank you, Noa-sama. (Fina)

The two were holding hands and rejoicing.

Yeah, indeed, good for you. It would be a pity if only Fina couldnt use magic.

But I didnt expect us to be able to use magic so quickly. I had heard that it usually takes days to feel the magic and be able to do it. (Noa)

Is that so? (Yuna)

This is my first time, so I dont know the details, but both my sister and father said it would take time for the beginners. (Noa)

Then again, maybe theyre just both excellent.

Yuna-san, may I continue practicing my magic? (Noa)

Is your magic power okay? (Yuna)

Im a little tired from collecting magic power, but I think its fine. (Noa)

Yes, Im fine too. (Fina)

Then, shall we try again? (Noa)

Yes! (Fina)

Noa tried to collect magic power, but she turned her gaze to me.

Yuna-san, I want to check how bright my light magic is, so why dont we go inside the house? I want to check it in a dark room. (Noa)

Indeed, it was hard to tell how bright it was outside, even when we moved into the shade. Moreover, the light magic that both of them casted was not that strong.

So it may be good to check the brightness of light in a dark room. I could also see their growth.

Sure, why not. (Yuna)

Fina also agreed, then we entered the mansion.

Where are you going? (Yuna)

I asked because I thought we were supposed to darken Noas room by closing the curtains, but she led us to a different pa.s.sageway.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt. Theres a room in there. (Noa)

Its an aristocratic mansion. So there should be at least a bas.e.m.e.nt.

Its not like a prison or anything, is it? (Yuna)

We have a similar room, but the one were going to is basically where we keep our food. Also, there are weapons and things we dont use. (Noa)

Well, stockpiling food is important.

We went down the stairs. It wasnt dark because the magic stones on the ceiling were s.h.i.+ning, but it would be pitch black without them.

Noa walked down the underground pa.s.sage and stopped at the door.

Here it is. (Noa)

Noa opened the door. There was not a single window, so the room was dark.

I could turn on the lights, but that wouldnt be much of a practice, so Yuna-san, would you mind illuminating the room with your light magic? (Noa)

I cast light magic into the room. A bear-faced light illuminated the room. The room was larger than I expected, and it was empty.

Thank you. (Noa)

We entered the room and closed the door.

Wish we had chairs. (Noa)

I have chairs with me. (Yuna)

I took three chairs out of the bear box.

Yuna-san, your item bag contains just about everything. (Noa)

Not everything. It only contains whats in it. (Yuna)

Of course, it only contains what I put in it. I have stocked up on chairs, tables, furniture, and so on because I will use them when I build more bear houses. Its a ha.s.sle to go out and buy them every time.

I arranged three chairs in a circle and sat down.

Im sorry, Yuna-san, but could you turn off the light? (Noa)

Well, if I had my bear light on, it would interfere with their practice.

When I turned off the light, the room became pitch black.

I cant see anything. (Fina)

As Fina said, I cant see anything either. I can only tell they are there by their presence and breathing.

Fina. Lets brighten up this room together. (Noa)

Yes! (FIna)

Both of them immediately tried using light magic.

U~u

, I cant gather magic power well. (Fina)

I was able to do it earlier. (Noa)

You dont have magic power? (Yuna)

I dont know. It would be a problem if I used all the magic power I had earlier. (Noa)

Then lets hold hands one more time, shall we? (Yuna)

Yes.

I offered them both of my bear puppets and asked them to hold them. Since it was pitch black, I made them glow lightly, and then they grabbed onto the bear puppets. After they grabbed the bear puppets, I turned off the light.

Then I did the same as before.

Yes, something like this. (Noa)

Yes, I can feel my own magical power together with Yuna-oneesans. (FIna)

Now then, Im letting go (Yuna)

I let go of both of their hands.

Glow!

Glow.

Both of their hands shone brightly.

Somehow, I think I understand. (Noa)

Yes, I think I can collect magic by myself this time. (Fina)

This time, without help, they tried using light magic alone.

I cant see their faces, but I can tell theyre concentrating.

Glow!

Glow.

Their hands glowed as they both activated their magic.

I did it. Its brighter than before. (Noa)

Yes. But my light is dimmer than yours, Noa-sama. Is it because of magic power? (Fina)

Indeed, Finas light looked a little dimmer.

Since they casted light magic in a dark place, it was easy to compare the brightness.

Magic is important, but isnt there also a difference in the image? (Yuna)

I have them erase their light magic. Then I imagined a dim light. My bear puppet glowed dimly.

Its darker than our light. (Noa)

Its a brightness that was easy on the eyes, which should be called the light of fireflies.

Next, it glowed bright when I gathered magic power in my white bear puppet.

Its dazzling. (Fina)

Fina and Noa covered their eyes with their hands.

The white bear puppet glowed so brightly that it illuminated the entire room.

There is a possibility that the amount of magic power is small, but you can also adjust the brightness with your image. (Yuna)

By the way, I do not know the difference in the amount of magic power between these two types of light magic. I have more magical power than others. Therefore, I cannot perceive the difference. Its the same as using a drop or two of water from a bucket filled with water.

For the time being, practice gathering magical power and imagine a bright light. (Yuna)

I dont know which one they lack, so I made them practice both. Either way, both were important for using magic.

They replied yes, and both of them began practicing silently.

But Im glad both of them can use magic. Now I wont be labeled incompetent as an educator.

Ha~a

, its brighter than before. But not as bright as Yuna-oneesan did. (Fina)

But its still brighter than what we did earlier. (Noa)

Noa was right, and they were also doing this in a dark room, so it was easy to see the difference in brightness.

The light magics brightness was intensifying a little compared to the earlier one.

The image training was important. The clarity of an image depends on what you know.

In my former world, there was more light than in this world.

Living in the city, I could see the light everywhere I looked outside. Like the car lights and all kinds of blinding lights.

Its the same as the inhabitants of this world being unable to use magic theyve never seen before. I dont think most people can imagine electric shock magic.

I think its the same thing.

However, in the current situation, Im at a loss as to whether theyve gotten better at gathering magic power or at visualising their magic.

Can we keep the amount of magic constant? (Yuna)

I cant fine-tune things like that. Im just kind of able to gather magic power. (Noa)

Me too. I cant do such minor details. (Fina)

Well, so am I.

When I use magic, I collect magic power and use magic in a very generic manner. I dont do things such as only using 10 MP magic points because its light magic or 20 MP because its fire.

They also gather magic power and use it as they see fit.

Then lets count numbers. (Yuna)

Numbers? (Noa)

Use light magic by gathering magic for five seconds. Then you should be able to feel the magic to some extent constantly. (Yuna)

I see, certainly. (Noa)

Sometimes expert mages can gather magic power instantly, but with two novices, I think it should be just fine to just have a taste of it. Besides, if they gathered magic power quickly, thatd be a good thing.

But, constantly feeling the gathering of magical power (Fina)

Then they practiced light magic over and over again.

They were both activating their light magic faster, and the light that appeared also got brighter with each attempt.

I think thats enough for today. You must be tired from using magic you are not used to. (Yuna)

When I defeated the Kraken, I had an experience of collapsing due to the excessive use of magic power. I was exhausted. I dont know how much magic power these two have, and I dont know how much they used. So I cant let them push themselves too hard.

Youre right. Lets head back to the room and have Lara make some tea. (Noa)

We left the dark room and moved to Noas room, where Lara-san made tea.

I wonder if I should prepare some sacred tree tea.

Authors Note:

Both of them are able to use magic without incident.

Around August 7th (Wednesday), the book (including comics) work should be settled.

I think Ill be able to return to normal after that.
