470 - First Anniversary Extra Chapter

In order to have a happy wedding with Isis-san, I was doing my best again to increase the amount of magic power I had but I was now facing a very troubling situation.

No, rather than troubling It was more of a scary situation

[So, what do you have to say for yourself? Kaito-kun.]

[Yesshh!?]

Sitting on the floor in a seiza, I twitched when Kuro called out to me, her eyes were focused on me and her arms were folded in front of her chest.

Kuros entire body was filled with an aura of anger, and the room was slightly shaking under its influence No, its shaking as if there was an earthquake. Its really scary.

[How many days did you stay up all night this time?]

[F- Four days]

[Four days?]

[I- I got some sleep for one night and I had been continuously training for four days]

When I timidly told her this, a vein popped out of her forehead.

[Why is it that you wont think about moderation at all!!!?]

[Hyyiiiihh!?]

[Moreover, whats that plastered on your face!? Are you trying to cover those dark circles under your eyes!?]

[I- Im sorry!]

Yes, Kuro had found out that I had been up all night training and was firmly scolding me right now.

I had even borrowed some foundation to cover up my eyebags, so that Kuro wouldnt find out but it just made Kuro even more angry.

[Youve always been so extreme about things, Kaito-kun! I understand that you want to hurry things up, but it would be useless if that destroyed your body!!!]

[Yes.]

[In the first place, Kaito-kun is]

I knew it was completely my fault, but Kuros scolding lasted nearly two hours.

I see, something like that happened huh

[I dont really mind if hes a hard worker but]

After training to increase the amount of magic power Kaito had, they moved on to getting him to acquire precise control of his magic power. Kaito was currently focusing on a small magic ball floating in between his palms.

Watching him from a distance was Kuromueina and Lillywood, who had come to resupply them with Fruits of the World Tree.

However, even with the special training he did, he seemed to be doing better than I thought Kaito-sans magic power has grown quite a lot.

[Unnn To be honest, the speed of which his magic power increased was much faster than I expected. I expected that it would take him 10 years At this rate, he might reach his required magic power in a little over a year.]

How unusual. For you to misjudge, I mean

[Well, its not like Im perfect after all~~]

What Lillywood and Kuromueina were talking about was the magic power of Kaito, who was undergoing special training. Although he was still far from his goal, Kaitos magic power had already grown to the point where it could even be said to be the highest among the humans.

Kuromueina had thought it would take him more than half a year for Kaito to reach his current amount of magic power But contrary to her expectations, Kaitos magic power rose rapidly.

[Hmmm. I thought he didnt have any talent for magic but he may actually have some talent for it.]

I guess so. If hes growing so well, he might just be able to become a mage if he trains hard enough.

In fact, Kaitos unexpected growth in magic power was because Shallow Vernal secretly made it easier for Kaitos magic power to grow, but the two of them No, including Kaito, the three of them had no way of knowing that.

After I completed my training to keep a small magic ball intact, I took a break. As I ate a Fruit of the World Tree to recover my magic power, Kuro and Lillywood-san, who had arrived before I knew it, approached with a complicated expression on their faces.

[Hey, Kaito-kun?]

[Unnn?]

[I taught you the Fireball magic before didnt I?]

[Eh? Ahh, unnn.]

Its true that when I consulted Kuro about my desire to use Offensive Magic, she taught me the most basic of the basic Offensive Magics, Fireball. However, I didnt have any talent for Offensive Magic, so I couldnt activate it properly

[Can you try shooting it my way?]

[Eh? The Fireball?]

[Unnn. Kaito-kuns magic power has considerably risen, so I thought that you should give it a try.]

[A- Alright.]

[Lets do it with full power!]

[Got it!]

Its true that my magic power had increased to the point where I could even see it. Theres a good chance that Ill be able to use Offensive Magic now.

No, on the contrary I feel like my magic talent could blossom here and I could become a powerful mage!

Well, its not that I wanted to fight someone, but I was just thinking that its a bit shameful as an elder to be weaker than Aoi-chan, Hina-chan and Seigi-kun.

Alright, lets do this This is the day where being called Monster Tamer or the weakest by my kouhais end!

A magic circle appeared in my right hand, I put all the magic power I could into it. The amount of magic power I had had overwhelmingly increased, and even Im afraid of the amount of magic power gathering in my right hand.

Drawing my right hand back for , I filled my heart with conviction and held out my right hand.

[Fireball!!!]

In response to my words, a ball of blazing h.e.l.l fire was released from the magic circle on my right hand It was around the size of a pingpong ball

The mini-fireball slowly flew towards Kuro, but as if she just swatted a mosquito away, the fireball disappeared with Kuros slap.

[..]

[Im glad. Youre still the same old Kaito-kun.]

[Did you think I would feel comfortable with you comprehending something like that!?]

I dont really know why, but Kuro looked satisfied with my shabby fireball with that relieved smile of hers This was incomprehensible.

That much magic power placed into it, a- and for the fireball to become like this Ah, no, please excuse my rudeness.

[.]

Even the kind Lillywood-san was unintentionally saying words like that Hey, where did my magic talent go!?

No, I guess this is a big improvement compared to the me when I couldnt shoot a Fireball at all. But the effect was too weak for the amount of magic power I put into it. Where the heck did all the magic power I put in go?

W- Well, its also possible that he just isnt good with Fire-Attribute Magic

[I guess so. Kaito-kun, can you try using the ball-type magic for other attributes?]

[Unnn.]

T- Thats right It might just be as Lillywood-san said, and Fire-Attribute Magic might not just be my thing. B- But if its other attributes

Thereupon, I decided to follow Kuros words. After eating a Fruit of the World Tree, I unleashed other types of Elementary-level Magic.

[Ice Edge!]

[It didnt reach me.]

It melted along the way.

Water-Attribute Magic

[Wind Cutter!]

[It kind of makes me feel a bit cooler?]

It was a gentle breeze.

Wind-Attribute Magic

[Stone Blast!]

[Its small.]

Thats what she said.

Earth-Attribute Magic

[Lightning Bolt!]

[Hmmm.]

That was static electricity, right?

Lightning-Attribute Magic

[Holy Light!]

[Did you glow for a moment?]

Yes, for a moment.

Light-Attribute Magic

[Darkness Shot!]

[Ohh, that came out a bit better.]

Well, its still too weak compared to the amount of magic power he put into it

Dark-Attribute Magic

[Plesion!]

[Ohh, thats great! I could feel a little pressure!]

Indeed, this showed greater power than the amount of magic power he put into it.

And finally, ending it with Non-Attribute Magic a spell that puts pressure on your target.

As I finished casting the eight kinds of magic, I asked Kuro a question to which I somehow know the answer.

[K- Kuro? Whats your verdict?]

[Unnn. Kaito-kun, you are fairly good at Dark-Attribute Magic and youre quite talented at Mind Interference Magic. Thought Disruption and Hallucination seem to be your specialty.]

Fairly good in Dark-Attribute Magic, Mind Interference Magic being my specialty No matter how I think about it, those are totally the traits of a villain. I guess you could say that Im like those Mid-Boss in RPGs who for some reason, really likes spamming debuffs. This is kind of bringing tears to my eyes.

I guess I really cant become the protagonist with cheats huh. I mean, why the heck am I being humiliated like this?

[Hey, Kuro? Why am I doing something like this in the first place?]

[Ah~~ Errr, well, I noticed that Kaito-kuns magic power had grown more than I imagined, so I was wondering if Kaito-kun had a talent for magic.]

[And, the result is?]

[Im relieved to see that Kaito-kun is the same as always!]

[..]

Why cant I use Offensive Magic at all? My three kouhais can use cool Offensive Magic, so why is it that I can only deal mental damage to people!?

W- Well, nevermind. Its not like Im training so that I can use Offensive Magic. My only goal is to suppress Isis-sans magic power of death S- So, its not like Im frustrated or anything like that.

However, that one incident brought unnecessary trouble from someone I never expected.

The next day, Megiddo-san came in, carrying a pile of barbells or dumbbells.

[Ohh, Kaito!!! I heard about it! About how your Offensive Magic was terrible!]

[M- Megiddo-san? Whats with the sudden visit?]

[I know youre vexed about it, but dont worry about it! Theres no need for you to learn Offensive Magic in the first place. Youll just have to punch them before they hit you with their magic! You can count on me!]

[W- What are you saying?]

I had a bad feeling about what he was saying, so I timidly asked and Megiddo-san spoke, with an odiously bright smile on his lips.

[What you need right now is muscles like this!]

[No, youre misunderstanding something here.]

[Leave it to me! Arent we close buddies!? Im going to make you a martial artist with a body that you wont be ashamed to show anywhere, Kaito!]

[No, no, Im not asking for anything like that, okay!? Why are you happily swinging that barbell around Or rather, i- isnt that too big Theres no way I can lift something like that! Wait, gyaaaaaahhhh!?]

Because of a misunderstanding of a musclehead, I was submerged in a sea of barbells.

Well, the misunderstanding was safely cleared up when Kuro appeared shortly after and punched Megiddo-san away But needless to say, a new trauma had been etched in my mind.
