I can't do it. Kyle, your magic is too good."

"Really?　I think your brother Ars' magic is more amazing. I don't think a normal person could ever break through a wall that high again."

"No, I still think your magic is more amazing. I really don't know how you do it.

　The magic that Kyle has created is called [speed reading] and [automatic arithmetic].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Both are simple yet useful magic that can do the work of paperwork instantly.

　But more than that, I was surprised by Kyle's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was even more amazed by Kyle's magic, because the way I created it, I don't think I could reproduce it.

　In my case, I kept on making bricks of the same shape, and I could do it as a conditioned reflex, murmuring the same key word each time, and as a result, I had perfected the magic of [making bricks].

　And this magic is characterized by the fact that if you mumble the spell, a brick of the same size, weight, and material will be created without fail.

　In other words, my theory of magic is that the same result is obtained every time when I tweet the keywords I set as the spell.

　However, Kyle's magic is different from the above, even if it seems similar.

　Speed Reading] allows you to read and understand the text in an instant by mumbling the spell while looking at the written paper.

　Automatic arithmetic] can also do the same thing, allowing you to perform the calculation you want to derive instantly and accurately.

　The same thing can be achieved by mumbling the spell, but the fact that it can instantly understand a sentence, no matter how different it is from the original, or perform calculations with different answers to derive the correct answer, is clearly out of line with my theory of magic.

　I wonder how they can get different results just by mumbling the same words.

"I don't think it's that hard. Anyone can do it. I'm sure with a little practice you'll be able to do it too."

　Hey, Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Don't say "you can do it" so lightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are plenty of things you can't do even if you try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see what ...... is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe Kyle has an unusual aptitude for this kind of office work, while I am good at earth magic and not so good at other things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, there is a possibility that he will develop various useful magic in the future.

"Well, but kudos to you, Kyle. Well, let's get on with it so I can use that magic too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes, I think it's good to practice, Brother Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Practice?　Why the hell should I do that, Kyle? It's enough if you can give me a name. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Naming?　By whom?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Kyle's gonna name me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why would I name my brother Ars?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because if you don't, I won't be able to use [speed reading] or [automatic arithmetic]. I want to use them too. It's definitely useful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Absolutely not. You know that your brother Ars was named by the Fontana family and is in charge of the territory?　How can I be allowed to give my brother Ars a name?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No?　I didn't hear anything about not doing it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can't do that. What are you thinking?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because it's hard to read and sign that many documents. I'd like to at least use [speed-reading] too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you're Ars, it's enough just to concentrate your magic power in your head when you're doing paperwork. I'm not going to give you a name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... really no?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. If you say any more, I'll get angry too, Brother Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Okay. But it's Kyle's decision to do the naming. If he can't name the baby after me, he'll name it after someone else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who else?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kyle, you still go teach at the school from time to time, don't you?　Any good students among them?　He's motivated and serious. If there is such a guy, let's take him in and put him to work as a civil servant."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With Kyle's magic, we could create a ready-to-work civil servant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, I've been wanting more civil servants for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, I and the old man have been doing this and that, but the workload on him has been quite heavy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you use [meditation], you can get rid of fatigue in one night, but on the other hand, because you can use [meditation], you were forced to work too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to the support of Kyle and the Grahams, who came in later, that had improved a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we still need more civil servants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In particular, since I had acquired the territory by force, many of the people who came to my house were either single-celled power-hungry people or starving to death dreamers, so it was my earnest wish to secure people who could become civil officers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The situation changes drastically with Kyle's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ability to read texts instantly and not make mistakes in calculations is of tremendous importance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because even merchants often make mistakes in reading.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I decided to select from among the students of the school those whom Kyle recommended and put them to work as civil servants.
