''...So?　Mr. Kite.
What?

　I jump up and down as Kuro, sitting upright, looks down at me with his arms folded and his perfectly seated eyes, and I jump up and down.
　Black's entire body is filled with an aura of anger, and the room is shaking slightly under the influence of that... no, it's shaking like an earthquake is happening. Seriously scary.

''........How many days did you stay up all night this time?''
Yo, four days...
Four days?
And then I'll sleep for one day and then four more days.

　When I tell him fearfully, a blue streak runs across Black's forehead.

''........Why don't you always think about how much is too much or too little!
What?
What's this stuff on your face?　You're faking the shadows under your eyes!
I'm sorry!

　Yes, I've been training all night and Kuro found out, and he was giving me a hard time.
　Especially this time, I borrowed foundation to cover up the shades so that Kuro wouldn't find out.......Kuro's anger was very high.

''By and large, Kaito-kun is always, always extreme!　I know you want to hurry up, but if you ruin your body with it, it's not worth it!
Yes.
In the first place, Kite...

　Although it was completely self-inflicted, Black's sermon was to last for nearly two hours.








''........I see, I see.......''
I don't mind that you're a hard worker, but...

　After training in increasing the amount of magic power, he moved on to training to acquire precise magic control, and Kaito was concentrating with a small magic ball floating in his palm.
　Staring at the situation from a bit of a distance was Crom Eina and..............Liliwood, who had come to replenish the fruits of the World Tree.

''But even though I was training for additional special training, it seems that things are going better than I thought.......Kite-san's magic power has grown a lot.''
Well to be honest, the pace of the rise is much faster than I expected. I thought it would take me 10 years to get there, but at this pace, I could be there in a little over a year.
"It's unusual. How could you be so wrong...
Well, I mean, I'm not perfect, either.

　Liliwood and Crom Eina are talking about the magic power of the kaijin who are training specially. Although still far from the goal, the amount of magic power of the kaijin has already grown to the point where it can be said to be at the top of the human race.
　Chrome-Aina thought it would take more than half a year for the Kaijin to reach the current amount of magic power............................Contrary to her expectations, the Kaijin's magic power has been rising fast.

''..........................Hmmm. I thought I didn't have a talent for magic...............but I guess I actually did have it.
''That's right. If your growth is this good, you might be able to do well as a mage if you train well.''

　In fact, Kaito's magic power has grown more than the two of them expected because Sharovanal secretly made it easier for Kaito's magic power to grow, but the two of them... no, the three of them, including Kaito, had no way of knowing that.








　The training to keep the small magic sphere in shape and maintain it intact has been brought to a close, and we are going to take a break.

''........Hey, Kite?''
Yeah?
The fireball technique I've taught you before, haven't I?
'What?　Yeah, yeah.

　It's true that I was taught the technique of first-pitch attack magic before when I consulted Black about wanting to use attack magic. However, I didn't have any talent for attack magic, so I couldn't successfully activate it, but.......

''Hey, can you try shooting it at me?''
'What?　Fireball?
Yeah. Kaito-kun's magic power has risen quite a bit, so we'll give it a try.
Okay, okay.
Full power, please!
Yes, sir.

　It's true that my magic power has increased to the point where I can see it's increasing even by myself. Even the offensive magic that was once unusable, there's a good chance I can use it now.
　No, on the contrary.......my talent could blossom here and I could become a strong mage in one fell swoop!

　Well, it's not that I'm looking for a fight, but I was feeling a little miserable as an elder, losing to Aoi, Yona and Masayoshi-kun in a blowout.
　

　I have a magic circle floating in my right hand and I put all the magic power I can into it. The amount of magical energy has increased overwhelmingly from the past, and a scary amount of magical energy has gathered in my right hand.
　As it is, I pull my right hand back and say, 'I can do it! With the conviction that "I'm not going to be able to do this", he shouts while sticking his right hand out in front of him.

"........Fireball!

　In response to my words, a ball of blazing fire was released from the magic circle on my right hand side............................a "ping-pong ball-sized

　That mini fireball was flying in a slow and sluggish manner towards Black, but it disappeared with Black's applause as if he were smashing a mosquito.

''........''
Thank goodness. It's the same old Kite.
There's something about the way you're being convinced of that that's hard to resist!

　I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that Kuro was satisfied with my crappy fireball, and he had a somewhat relieved smile on his face.


....

　Even gentle Lillywood-san is at the level where lines like that just spill out.......hey, what's going on with my lack of talent!
　No, it's a big improvement from the days when you couldn't shoot, right?　But the effect is too lame for the amount of magic it contains. Where's the large amount of magic that we put in?

''Well, well, it's possible that I'm just not good at the flame attribute...''
'Sure. Kite, can you try to shoot one of the others?
Yes.

　 Ho, if it's any other attribute........
　And I decided to follow Black's words and unleash the elementary magic I was taught while eating the fruit of the World Tree one after another.

''Ice Edge!''
He doesn't get it.
"You melted in the middle of the road, didn't you?

　Water magic.....

'Windcutter!'
...Is it a little cooler?
"A gentle breeze.

　Wind magic.....

Stone Blast!
...small.
It's like a knuckle dragging when it hits you, isn't it?

　Earth magic.....

'Lightning Bolt!'
...hmmm...
Static electricity, is it?

　Lightning magic.....

'Holy Light!'
...a little bit of a glow?
"Yes, for a moment.

　Light magic.....

'Darkness Shot!'
'Ooh, that's a bit of a turn out.'
''Well, it's still too weak compared to the amount of magic power...''

　Dark magic.........

Prezion!
'Oh, great!　Just a little bit, but I felt the pressure too!
''........Indeed, this is more powerful than the amount of magic.''

　

　After finishing the eight types of magic, I already knew it was thinly veiled, but I turned to Black and asked him.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.　Bottom line?
''...Yeah. You seemed to be good at destroying minds and hallucinating.

　 It's like a mid-boss that makes a series of state failure attacks. It's something........that made me cry.
　It seems that it's impossible for me to be a cheat hero after all. Or rather, why am I being humiliated like this?

Hey, Black?　Why are you doing this in the first place?
''Ahhhh, well, no, the growth in Kite's magical power level was beyond my expectations, so I wondered if Kite had a talent for magic.''
And the result?
I'm so relieved to see you as always, Kite!
....

　Why can I use attack magic at all?　The three juniors can use cool attack magic, so why am I the only one who can damage my spirit!
　........Well, well, okay. It's not training to acquire offensive magic in the first place. It's not that I don't feel sorry for myself, but my goal is to suppress the magic of death from Aisis-san, so..................







　However, that one incident brought in unnecessary trouble from unexpected places.
　The next day, Megiddo-san arrived with a pile of barbells and dumbbells and such.

'Oh, Kite!　I heard that the attack spell was a mustard spell!
Me, Mr. Megiddo?　What happened to you all of a sudden?
I know you're frustrated, but I don't care!　There's no need for attack magic in the first place. It's just a matter of punching the guy before he hits you.　Leave it to me!
...What are you doing?

　I already had a bad feeling at this point, but when I asked him fearfully.......Megiddo-san opened his mouth with a hateful, bright smile on his face.

'What you need right now is..........................yes, 'muscles'!
No, no, no, no.
I got it!　I'm not like you and me, man!　I'll make Kite a 'martial artist' that I won't be ashamed to put anywhere!
'No, no, I didn't ask you to say a word about that!　Why are you so happy with the barbell... or rather, it's too big... impossible to get one that size?　Wait, geez!

　I was submerged in a sea of barbells by a misunderstood brainiac.
　Well, the misunderstanding was safely cleared up when Kuro appeared shortly afterwards and punched Megiddo-san away... but needless to say, a new trauma was etched into me.
