"Are you from a noble family or something like that, Mr. Lassen?"

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

No, I am a commoner. But I heard that my grandfather on my mother's side was from a decent family. However, my mother married that man, so they are no longer related.

"I see. Well, if his grandfather came from a good family, his blood must have had a lot of magic power when he was born.

"Yes, that's right. A little more so than most people. However, my magical power is only slightly compatible with the soil, and I was not suited for fighting at all. So I've loved working with dirt since I was a child, and now that I'm an adult, I've become a construction worker, or so I've been called.

　Lassen is a man of mature years, with a sturdy build.

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

　However, he does not have the body of a mercenary or a warrior, but rather a thick build, as if he is always carrying heavy loads.

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

　His body has a certain magic to it.

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

　He claims that his work originated from tinkering in the ground, but he was mainly known as a construction worker.

"If you like, I can show you my power."

"Are you sure?　Then try it with the soil in that area."

"Yes, sir."

　Apparently, Lassen is going to show us what he can do.

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

　He must be desperate.

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

　He's probably spent his whole life being blamed here and there for the Great Recession, and he probably doesn't feel like living.

　And here he is, lying or not, offering to guarantee our safety.

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

　I guess we have no choice but to rely on them.

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

　He was trying to prove how useful he could be to them, to keep them safe.

"Huh?"

　On a plot of land on New Barca Street, Lassen bent his legs and put his hands on the ground.

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

　He must have been channeling his magic power into the soil spreading on the ground.

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

　When he felt it spread to a certain extent, he activated his magic with a single call.

"Oh, great! There's a big hole!"

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

　When Lassen used unmagic magic, a hole appeared.

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

　The hole is quite large and deep.

　Manipulation of the earth by magic.

　Although the scale is different, Lassen showed me the same kind of magic as Ars's brother.

"It's amazing."

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

"Hmm?　You think so too, Ai?"

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

"Yes. Mr. Lassen, may I ask you a few questions?

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

Yes, yes. What is it, Mr. Chairman?

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

"The magic you just used to dig the hole, do you still have enough magic power?"

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

"Well, is it the amount of magic?　Yes, sir. Of course. Lassen here, if you ask me, I will dig holes wherever and however many holes you ask me to dig.

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

　Ai, who was standing by my side, calls out to Lassen.

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

　Lassen blushes and makes a big speech in response.

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

　I don't think he can dig as many holes as he wants.

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

"Well, how about a side hole? If we dig a hole of the same depth over there, how much would the consumption of magic power change if we dig a horizontal hole connecting that hole and the hole here?

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

"A hole in the ground?　It's not much different than digging down from the ground. I think it's about the same."

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

"That's great."

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

　Ai hears Lassen's story and compliments him.

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

　Is it really that great?

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

　Well, it is true that digging a hole takes a lot of labor and is dangerous, so if it can be done easily using magic power, it might be amazing.

"I think Lassen-sama may have more affinity with soil than Ars Valka-sama."

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

"Huh?　More than your brother Ars?　You're kidding, right?

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

"I'm not joking. There is a possibility that the magic efficiency of Lassen-sama is higher than that of Ars Valka-sama when magic is activated."

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

"...... Really?　What's the evidence for that?"

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

"Ars Barka's magic has a high affinity for soil, as does Lassen's. However, Mr. Ars Barka mentions that the starting point of magic is fixed to the surface of the earth. Therefore, when magic is activated in the ground, the efficiency of magic power decreases terribly.

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

"Activation in the ground?　Do you mean using it in the ground?　I don't understand. Didn't brother Ars float land in the sky and create something more like a lake than a large pond with his magic?　Doesn't it matter if it's underground?"

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

"No. That was after Ars Varka's magic power increased. They were only invoking magic with their abundant magical power without regard to magical efficiency.

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

　This was back when Brother Ars had little magic power.

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

　I remember that he was born in a poor farmer's family.

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

　When I can remember, I was already in charge of the Fontana family. I can't imagine it at all, but I guess there must have been times when I had little magic power when I was little.

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

　But efficiency.

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

　It doesn't make sense to me that the man in front of me, Lassen, is better than the man who created the Kingdom of the Sky.

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

　But unlike me, Ai started to verify Lassen's power after that.

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

　It seems that this guy might be even more powerful than I thought.

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

　As I watched Ai's verification, I began to think that I might need to change my perception of Lassen.
