There are different types and colors of magic power.

　You can look at it as a wave of magic power ...... that you see when you cast a spell.
　In addition to the golden color, there are other colors of magic power such as red, blue, etc., all of which have their advantages and disadvantages.

　For example, red magic is suitable for offensive magic, but difficult to use for other types of magic.
　This magic color is something you are born with, and it is impossible to change it while you are alive.

　And the golden magic that I have been given is 'difficult to use, but if you master it, it will grow forever'.
　I had golden magic in my previous life 1000 years ago.
　I had planned to master magic in this life as well, so I was relieved when I got the golden color.

　And yet, .......

How come the golden color that was my jackpot is called faulty magic?

　How far has this world fallen?

　Well, we'll get to that later.
　Even if it's called defective magic, it's still the golden color of the jackpot.



　Another day.
　I was going to the forest to hunt demons again to kill time.

"Hey, there's a defective demon walking around!

　I was walking through the village when someone shouted at me.

　I turned to look at him.

"Cyril. He's going towards the forest.
"Oh my God!　He's a daredevil!
If that faulty magician goes into the woods, the Wolf will kill him in an instant!　You'd have to have full magic like me!

　Three guys.
　There's a boy standing in the middle who looks like he's about my age.

　He's ...... Cyril, I think he's called.
　I think he's a boy who recently moved to this village.

What do you want from me?

　That's fine, it's just a way to pass the time.
　I'm also curious about what he just said.
　I walked over to Cyril and the others.

"I don't have anything to do with this!　I heard you're defective in magic. I'm just worried about you!

　Cyril said that, but he didn't show any signs of concern.

I don't care that I have a defective magic. What is your ...... perfect magic power?
"You don't even know what perfect magic is?　This is why defective magic is so important.

　Cyril let out a deliberate sigh.

　--Oh, my head is starting to hurt.

　I wanted to get out of here right now, but I persevered and repeated my question to Cyril to get more information.

"So tell me. "So tell me, what is this full magic power ......?
"Hmm, fine!　We're going to the woods because the adults are going to be mad at us for casting spells in this place!
Magic?　Can Cyril use magic?

　"Magic?" "Can Cyril use magic?" "I repeat, in this world 1000 years from now, being able to use magic is apparently very valuable.
　Or maybe it's just a village standard.

"Ah!　Don't be shy when you see my magic power.
"I'm looking forward to it.

　"I'm looking forward to it." This was his sincere intention.

　--For the first time, I'm going to see someone other than me cast a spell.
　It might give you some idea of the extent of magic technology in this world.

"Follow me!

　I followed the pompous Cyril.



My father used to be an adventurer!　My father used to be an adventurer, so he moved to this village when there was a shortage of vigilantes. Be thankful!

　Cyril pushed his way through the forest, his chest heaving.

"Hey!

　I stopped in my tracks.

Are you sure you want to go that way?
"What?
I can feel the presence of a big demon.

　It's true.
　I've lived here for twelve years, and I know that the people of this village would have a hard time with a wolf.
　If that's the case, the demons a little further down the road are too much for the child Cyril to handle.

What are you talking about?
You can use detection magic too, right?　You know what I mean. You know what's up ahead.
"Detect ...... magic ......?　What the hell is that?

　...... makes my head hurt even more.

　No, no, no.
　I don't know if I can use magic that even a child could use a thousand years ago, let alone not know how to use it. .......

　Well, I'll let him do what he wants.


　Maybe there's some kind of calculation.

"You're freaking out!　You think you're gonna get away with this?
"No way.

　I stifled my headache and walked in the direction Cyril was going.

　And after about ten minutes of walking.


"GOOOOOOOOOOO!


　A huge cow-like creature, a white bison, appeared in front of me.
　It was about the size of a house, and much more powerful than a wolf.

　...... But still, it's nothing compared to me.

"Ho, ho, ho, white bison?　I thought only Wolves appeared in this forest!
"What's the matter?　You're just the man for the job.
Shiro bison?　What are you talking about?
Or are you really incapable of magic?
What?　You can't talk to me like that when I'm fully magical!

　Cyril held up his palm.

"Gather in my hand, flame. Gather your flames in my hands and become a spear to burn through your enemies!

　Cyril uttered something incomprehensible, and then a feeble spear of flame was heading for the white bison.
　But .......

It's not working at all, huh?

　The white bison that had been hit by the flaming spear was still alive and well.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

Let's run away!　This guy. It's too much for us to handle!

　When Cyril and the others saw this, they foolishly turned their backs and tried to escape.

　Oh, if you do that, .......

"GOOOOOOOOO!
Aaaaahhh!

　Seeing this, the white bison let out an excited yell.
　And it wasn't coming at Cyril, it was coming at me.

I'm going to get crushed!

　It was possible that Cyril was pretending to be running away.
　Otherwise, he was too dumb.
　I'm not going to let you dignify me with this.

　But now that we've found a demon other than the Wolf.
　It'd be a shame to give Cyril and the others the perfect prey.

I'll show them some faulty magic while I'm at it.

　"I'll show you the magic of defective magic," I said, deploying an ice spell.

　Just as the white bison was about to crush me.
　The spell I'd been working on kicked in.
　A slightly stronger spell called Freeze Nova.

　And the white bison froze in place.

"Oh my god!　Somebody help me, please!
"Don't cry so loud. You're going to be okay.
Is that ......?

　Cyril was crouched with his head in his hands when he finally noticed the icy white bison.

　He slowly got up.

He slowly stood up and said, "What the hell is going on?
"Is this the first time you've seen ice magic?
Are you ...... sure this is you?
Yeah, ...... yeah. If it's not, it's incomplete.

　As soon as I snapped my fingers, the white bison broke apart with a crunching sound.

"Oh, the white bison is falling apart?　Oh...
"Sir! Master Cyril!

　Cyril fell to the ground as his cronies supported him.
　He seems to have fainted.

　I let out a sigh and then remembered the color of magic that leaked from the fire spear Cyril had just used.


　That was-- white magic.


　For me, it was the most unlikely magic power in .......
　It is easy to use for beginners, but it quickly reaches its limit.
　It was a magic power that was said to be 'unsuitable for becoming a strong wizard'.

Golden is flawed, white is perfect: ......

　Either way, I need to learn more about magic in this world.
　It was an event that made me feel that way.
