My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 328

I Was Taught Magic of Each Attribute

“…Light Elemental Shine.”

“The knife glowed!”

“…It’s a success… I can’t believe you succeeded after failing just once. I suppose I should have expected this from you, Mr. Takumi.”

When I activated the magic, the blade of the knife certainly emitted light this time around.

Liza, who was watching, raised her hands with delight, and Ms. Claire seemed a little surprised.

“It worked?”

“Yes. But I’m surprised that you were able to do it after a simple explanation…”

“I see. That’s good.”

Maybe it was because she explained it in a way that was easy to understand?

“I kept failing, and was not able to do it for some time.”
“You, Ms. Claire?

“Yes. I found it difficult to concentrate on this idea of sending the magic energy. I suppose you just have a talent for it, Mr. Takumi.”
“No, not at all. Surely it has nothing to do with your talent. You just made it easy for me to understand what to do.”
“Hehe. No, but even Sebastian agrees that you are sharp when it comes to magic energy.”
“Is that so?”

But now that I thought about it, he had said something like that, when he was teaching me before.

I didn’t know if any of that was true, but it felt good to have Ms. Claire think highly of me.

“Now, Mr. Takumi, I will teach you some new magic.”
“Yes, I’m ready.”

Ms. Claire had been laughing, but she turned serious as she faced me.

And so I straightened my back as well.

For some reason, Liza also looked serious, even though she wasn’t the one who was going to do it.

In any case, new magic…huh? Light magic could be used to temporarily blind people. And I was able to use it in combat because it didn’t take too long to activate. Would Ms. Claire teach me something similar to that?

“I will teach you water, wind and fire magic. …As they are the only ones that I can use.”
“Really?”

“Yes. After all, I am usually the one who is being protected. And so it would be more wise for me to spend my time learning about governing our lands rather than magic or combat.”
“I see…”

Ms. Claire had Phillip and those other guards.

So it made sense for her to study as the daughter of a duke, rather than magic.

However, because she was strong-willing and curious, I did find it a little surprising.

But in this world, magic wasn’t anything unusual, so people generally weren’t as excited about it as me, I suppose.

Even Tilura was much more interested in sword training than magic.

“We’ll start with fire magic. I’m sure you’ve seen this before, Mr. Takumi. …Fire Elemental Candle.”

And then Ms. Claire raised her index finger, and a small flame appeared on the tip.

Indeed, this was the magic that Sebastian had shown me as a demonstration.

It could be used like a lighter for when you wanted to make a fire.

That made it sound mundane, but this was still real magic, and so I felt some excitement.

“Next is… Water Elemental Wash.”

Ms. Claire erased the fire and made water appear in the palm of her hand.

We had used this magic during the forest exploration to wash dishes.

Unlike the water that Leo made for Liza, this was done through gathering the moisture in the air, and so it was not fit for drinking.

Well, it was probably fine if it was only the moisture in the air, but it probably took it from the ground as well… You just didn’t know what might be mixed in it.

“Lastly… Wind Elemental Air.”

Next she used wind magic.

Ms. Claire directed her hand towards me and I felt a weak wind blowing from it.

This might be useful when making medicine, but Leo’s would still be more effective.

Perhaps it had to do with how much magic energy you used?

If not, I’m not sure it would be very practical for me.

“And so those are the basic attributes of magic. Just like light magic, they do not use much energy and chanting is easy. I’m sure you will have no trouble with them, Mr. Takumi.”
“Do you think so? Well, I’ll try it then.”

And so I focused on gathering magic energy.

What was important when using magic was focusing on the magic energy, and the chant that converted it.

I decided to start with fire magic.

“…Fire Elemental Candle.”
“There’s fire!”

I moved the index finger of my right hand like Ms. Claire did, and chanted.

And then a small flame appeared with a burst.

It looked a little bigger than Ms. Claire’s one?

Thanks to seeing Ms. Claire do it right in front of me, I was able to copy her and everything went smoothly.

I suppose that was important as well.

If I had never seen it before, but had to use it, then it might have been more difficult to make it activate.

To my side, I saw Liza was very happy. And so I moved on to the next one.

“Next is… Water Elemental Wash.”
