It's the second day of the new semester.
　I'm on my way to class with Frank today, just like yesterday.

How long have you talked to the teacher since yesterday?

That didn't take long. I think the doctor just wanted to know what happened.

Well, that's good to hear. But still, for once, it's the end for Dr. Herondas.
　You know, I heard the doctor say something like that yesterday.

I heard I was going to get fired yesterday.

Oh, yeah?　You've gone too far with your royal fiancé, as expected.
　Well, I made Shelly cry.
　She's in jail now.
　I don't know how severe impunity is in this country, but it's probably not the death penalty, right?
　Yeah. ...... I'll ask him to reduce the charges later.

"Hmm?　What was that crowd?
　I heard Frank's voice and looked out of the corner of my eye and saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the school building.
　They all seemed to be looking at something.

'Come on, ......, that's yesterday's results.
　It's hard to see from a distance, but it looks like yesterday's top scorers are posted on the bulletin board at the entrance.

We're going to have to go check ...... to see if it's already posted.

Uh-huh.
　Me, I know what I was ranked as: .......

'Oh, Master!　Good morning!　Look at that!　It's great!
　When we were close enough to see the bulletin board, a flirtatious-looking helmsman emerged from the crowd.

'Hmm?　Let's see: ...... Oh, Frank is in third place. That's great.
　By the way, second place was Leena, fourth place was Josettia Lefebvre, and fifth place was Shelley.

　Josetteer is the daughter of a duke.
　I talked to her briefly at the party.

"I don't appreciate your praise for being number one.
　Frank looked seriously frustrated as he said that .
　Maybe, but ...... he didn't expect to lose to anyone but me, so I guess he was shocked that he was lower than Leena .
　Well, my Leena is a serious person and she never fails to study every day.

You're both great. I'm going to try my best to be in the same class as my masters.
　Of course, Hermann's name wasn't on the ranking list .

''Oh . Don't worry, we'll have a study session in Frank's room today.
　The goal is for us to finish first, second, third, and so on in the next test.
　Well, it's not gonna be easy with Linna here.

Wait, is this my room?

Yeah, right?　I'll work on Frank's magic while Herman studies.
　I know there's no point in teaching Frank to study, so let's train him to be less powerful than us.
　Probably because the only difference between Lina and Frank is their practical magic skills.

"Train their magic?　Then ......, well, okay.
　Frank, knowing his own weaknesses, reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, you're set.

　After school.
Excuse me!

Oh, you're a friend of the little man's?　Go ahead. Make yourself at home.
　As soon as I entered Frank's room, I was greeted by a maid with a smile .

''Wow~Master's room is this big?　That's great. My room isn't even half as big as this one.

'Really?　There's quite a difference.
　There are some rooms that aren't used and I'd like to give you one room.
　There's a lot of waste in the nobility.

Hey, we'll take this room, you two.

Yes?

　Then Frank leads me to the study desk where Hermann is standing behind it, me and Frank.
'Okay, let's get the study session going. Let's start with the math: ....... Hermann, try this calculation.
　I wrote a simple two-digit multiplication problem on a piece of paper and gave it to Hermann.
　Anyway, I need to see how badly Hermann can do it.

Okay. ......
　When he received the paper, Hermann quietly began to calculate.
　Hmm?　Perhaps you can do more than you thought you could?

It's done!　How's that?



"Oh, let me see: ......?　How did that happen?
　I was surprised at how easily I solved the puzzle, but when I checked my answer sheet, I found that the answer was completely different.

'Huh?　Was I wrong?
　It's not like I was wrong or ...... this is like you don't know how to solve it .

"Well, you're going to get better at it. You don't have to worry about it.
　And now you're going to teach it.

Okay. Now, tell me how to solve this one.

'Yeah, first make a brushstroke math like this: ......'
　Then I explained it to Hermann on a piece of paper.
　It took him a while to understand, but when he did, he was able to solve the same problems with ease.

　Then, while I had him solve some of the same problems, I worked on Frank's magic.

"Does Frank have magic manipulation skills?

No, I don't have one. What does it matter if you don't have it?
　I knew you didn't have it.

There's no need to worry about it. But you should have it because the quality of your magic will be different if you can manipulate magic or not, so it's better to have it.

Oh, really? So, how do you get to use magic manipulation?

I'll show you how it's done, okay? Then you do it.

All right. Why do you have your hand on my stomach?

Well, you'll find out soon enough. 　Forget it. Feel the magic.
　I moved Frank's magic while restraining him as he tried to escape.

'Hm?　It's like something moved in my body: ...... Is this magic?
　Wow, you're up to speed.
　See, geniuses are very intuitive.

That's right. That's the magic. Okay, I'm gonna move you around a little more to get that feeling.
　Then I kept Frank's magic in motion long enough.

Then you try it yourself.

Okay. Okay?
　Frank wiped his hand over his own to make sure I was okay.
　Yeah, a little bit, but the magic is working.

Oh, it looks like you're getting it working. Now you have to work really hard to get the magic moving through your body.

Yeah, okay.
　Frank was so absorbed in his magic that he couldn't hear what I said.
　You're as serious as ever.

Yeah, I am. Hang on a second.

Hmm?　Where are you going?

I'll be back soon.
　I'll have to give that to Frank.

　I've moved to my room.
"Khunn. Ah, the smell of Leo.

Hey. I'm pretty sure my backpack is in here.
　It's still the same as it was when I poured my magic into Belle and the magic stone yesterday, so I must have left it in my bedroom.

''What?　Master Leo?

Oh, Belle. Did we scare you?　I'm just here to get the material, don't worry about it.
　Apologizing to Bell, I fished out a backpack that was propped up against the bed .

'Yes, yes ......'

All right, well, I'll be home in a little while, so just wait for me.

Okay, I understand.
　Hmm?　Come to think of it, why was Belle sleeping in my bed?
　Well, all right.

I'm back.

'Wow!　Where have you been? You scared the shit out of me when you disappeared!
　When I returned to Frank's room using the transposition, I found him sitting on his ass in front of me.

''Sorry, I just went to my room to get the materials for the magic item.

A magic item?

Yeah, I'm going to create an item to boost Frank's magic growth rate.

Can you really build something like that?



Just watch.
　A picture is worth a thousand words.

Yay!　It's been a long time since I've seen my master's magic~
　Hermann looked at me with his eyes shining because he knew what I was going to do .
　Well, I used magic in yesterday's exam, so it hasn't been a long time since I've used it.

　With that in mind, I used creation magic on Mithril and the magic stone.
　I'm so used to this process that it only takes a second.

''Yes, when you wear this bracelet and train your magic power, it will grow rapidly.

What was that?　I mean, can I have it?　Like Mithril, the magic stone from earlier was quite expensive, wasn't it?

You don't need to worry about that. The magic stone was made with my magic, and the mithril was bought at a local materials store.
　A duke's son doesn't care about money.

Okay, okay. I love it.
　He took it from me and put it on his arm right then and there and showed it to me.

'Yay - aren't they matching ......?　Master, it's a bit different from my bracelet.
　Herman was watching Frank's bangles closely.
　Did you like the match?

Well, you can't make the same thing every time: ......
　Haha ...... You've noticed that .
　You changed it intentionally: .......

.
　Accelerate the growth of magic
　As long as there is friendship between you and the creator of these bracelets
　I don't go into a state.
　1.5 times the power of magic
　Creator: Leonce Forster

　It's probably best not to tell ...... why you changed it .

'Oh, sure!　That's right . Frank's bangles are pretty cool too!

Yeah, that's pretty cool.
　Well, I guess Frank liked you, so it's settled.
