In the garden of the mansion, I was taking lessons from a magical tutor, along with Angel.

　Now that we were both six years old and had become reasonably fit, we were going to begin our magical lessons.

"Okay, so let's start with identifying the Baron's and Madam's strengths, yes.

　My tutor, who was nearing middle age and in charge of magic, cut him off with a rubbing hand.
　Angier tilted his head and looked at me and the man in turn with a look of confusion on his face.

"What's that, genus?
It's about attributes like fire and ice.
Yes, magic is more efficient when you know what your strengths are, yes.
How do you do it?
"Yes, I'll use this pond, yes.

　The tutor is half-heartedly, "Jang! And showed us the pond behind us, like.

"A pond?
"Yeah. It really doesn't matter. Pouring magic into an object can change its nature. But the most changeable air is hard to see, and easily visible objects such as stones and trees are hard to change if you don't have enough magic. That's why water is the easiest to change and see.

　I taught Angel the basics of using magic.

Yes, that's right, the Baron, yes.

　The tutor complimented me with a rub and said to Angers.

"Yes, then ma'am, please take this and stand by the pond.
"This ...... magic stick?

　Ange received a magical walking stick as long as chopsticks with a star-shaped object stuck to the tip.

　The ease with which you can use magic is greatly influenced by your mental strength.
　It is a well-known fact that when you teach a child, this kind of magic stick with a star shape is the best way to get into the mind and use magic.

　Angel, like other children, receives the magic stick and stands by the pond with an excited look on his face.

　Following his tutor's advice, he passes the magic stick through the pond - or, rather, pure magic - and releases the magic into the pond.

　As if you can hear the onomatopoeic sound, a waterweed grows in the middle of the pond.

Oh, the grass has sprung up.
"Yes, your wife is probably best at healing magic, yes.
"He's a cure, Mr. Alec.
"Good idea. If I get hurt or something, I'll ask Angel for help.
"Yeah!　I'm going to try to get better at magic!

　She's a lovely, enthusiastic Angel.
　She's a straightforward character, I'm sure her magic will improve quickly.

Okay, now the baron is next, yes?
"The stick is fine.
"Yes, that's the Baron, yes.

　I did not receive a walking stick.
　It is the child who does not know magic that needs assistance.

　I have memories of my pre-reincarnation days.
　The age of my mind and memory is considerably older than the tutor in front of me.
　This degree of elementary magic, no need for a walking stick.

　...... Rather, the use of a walking stick may be more difficult.
　It's akin to how difficult it is for an adult who has learned to walk properly to be asked to waddle around like a baby.

　I stood in front of the pond, closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

　I was good with fire before I was reborn.
　The first time I checked, the water must have been a little warmer.

　I'm not so sure this time.
　My memories carry over from before I was reborn, but my body is completely brand new.

　My eyesight, for example, is much different.
　Before I couldn't read a book without my glasses. Now I can even see a man standing far away in the mountains as a lumberjack.

　I'm not so sure about the magic.

　I open my eyes and, as if I'm used to it, I let the magic flow into the pond.

"What?
"............

　Angel's startled voice, the tutor's exclamatory breath.
　I heard both at the same time.

　I wondered what's going on.

Oh, there's no water. ......

　What was once a pond was now just a gaping hole.

　There's not a drop of water in it, it's completely dried up.

What does this mean ......?
Yes ...... No, yes

　The tutor got a little flustered.

'Yes, may I test you again, yes?
"Yes.

　Nodding, the tutor hurriedly ran and brought the servants of the house.
　The servants, who came in large numbers, fetch water in buckets and fill the pond again.

Yes, then, Baron, once again, please, yes.

　The tutor, Angel, and the servants who fetched the water.

　As the multitude looked on, I once again poured my magic power into the full pond.

　Again, in an instant, the pond ran out of water.

'What is this attribute, doctor?

　I couldn't figure out with my memories of my previous life, so I asked my tutor.

"Yes, perhaps the Baron's magic is too great, yes.
"Too huge?
"Yes, I think the water could not withstand the change and disappeared, yes.
"Wow, that's great, Alec!



　Angier was innocently pleased, and the servants around him cheered, "Oh!

　I was too small for this pond after all.
　I was too small for this pond after all, only that my magic power was off the charts and my attributes were not discernible.
