There are different types of magic power, and they are colored.

　You can think of it as a wave of magic power........that you can see when you release magic.
　There are red, blue, and other magic colors other than the golden color, but they all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

　For example, red magic is suitable for using offensive magic, but difficult to use other magic, and so on.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a new one.

　And this golden color magic is difficult to use, but if you can master it, it will continue to grow forever.
　In my previous life a thousand years ago, I was also a golden color magician.
　I've been planning to master the magic in this life as well, so I was relieved to find the golden color.

　And yet.........

''Why is the golden color, which is a bonanza for me, called a defective magic power?

　How far has this world deteriorated?

　Well, we'll pursue that later.
　Even if they call it a defective magic power, it's still the golden color of the jackpot.



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

''Hey, hey, there's a defective magic power walking around!

　I was walking through the village and he threw that cuss word at me.

　I turn towards it.

"Cyril. He looks like he's going into the woods.
'Wow!　You're a daredevil!
"If that faulty magic goes into the forest, the Wolves will kill you in a second!　You can't have full magical powers like me!

　Three guys.
　The guy in the middle, the most important guy around my age.

　Let's see, his name is Cyril, I think.
　As I recall, he is a boy who recently moved to this village.

Can I help you with something?

　Fine, it's just another way to pass the time.
　Besides, I'm curious about what this guy said earlier.
　I walked over to Cyril and the others.

'We don't want anything!　I heard you're a defective magician. I'm worried about you!

　Cyril didn't make any pretense of worrying, although he said so with his mouth.

''It doesn't matter that I have defective magic power. What is that........perfect magic power of yours?
You don't know anything about perfect magic?　Huh, that's why the defective magic power is.

　Cyril let out a deliberate sigh.

　-- Oh, my head is starting to hurt.

　I wanted to be gone from here now, but I held back to get the information and repeated my question to Cyril.

'So tell me. That perfect magic power is........
'Hmm, fine!　If I release magic here, the adults will be mad at me, so I'm going to the woods!
Magic?　Do you think Cyril can do magic?

　Again, in this world a thousand years later, being able to use magic is apparently valuable.
　Well, maybe it's the standard in the village.

''Ah!　Don't sit back and look at my magic, okay?
I'm looking forward to it.

　This was sincerely sincere.

　--I can see for the first time how someone other than me is releasing magic.
　It might give you a little idea of how much magic technology this world has to offer.

Follow me!

　I followed behind the pompous Cyril.



'My dad was a former adventurer!　So when we ran out of vigilantes, we moved to this village and did it. Thank goodness!

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

'Hey,'

　In the midst of all this, I stop.

'Are you sure you want to go that way?'
What?
I'm sensing a big demon.

　This is a fact.
　After living for twelve years so far, I know that apparently the people of this village will struggle even with Wolf.
　If that's the case, the demons that are a little further down the road are not going to be able to handle the child Cyril.

''What are you talking about!''
You can use locator magic, can't you?　You know what I mean. The demon down the road.
Detection... magic...?　What's that?

　My head hurts even more.

　This is no good.
　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on them.

　I'm not going to let him do what he wants.
　I'm not sure if they've calculated something.

"You're scared!　Do you want to run away here?
No way.

　I stifled a headache, but continued to walk in the direction Cyril was going.

　And after enough walking.


'Goooooooooooooooo!'


　A huge cow-like demon - a white bison - has appeared.
　It's about the size of a house, and it's an incomparably more powerful demon than a wolf.

　........well, it's still not much for me, but....

"Ho-ho-ho-ho white bison?　I thought only wolves appeared in these woods!
What's up?　Just the right partner.
"White bison?　What are you talking about?
Or can't you really do magic?
"--!　Don't talk to me like that with full magical power!

　Cyril held up his palms.

'Gather in these hands, O flame! Turn into a spear and burn through your enemies!

　After Cyril uttered something I don't understand, a weak spear of flame was heading towards the white bison.
　But..........

''Zee, you're saying it's not working at all?

　The white bison was pinned down by a direct hit from the spear of fire.
　Cyril seemed to be surprised by that, but I was more shocked by this guy's magical color.

''Ni, ni ni, let's run away!　This guy. We can't handle this shit!

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

　Oh, if they did that........

''Goooooooooooooooooooo!''
'Ohhhhhh!'

　Seeing this, the white bison let out a yell of excitement.
　And then he came towards me, not towards Cyril, as it happened, but towards me.

'We're going to get crushed if we don't.

　It was conceivable that Cyril could be pretending that he was getting away with acting.
　Or else, it would be too dumb.
　I mean, you've been daring me with this stuff, right?

　But now that I've found a demon other than Wolf.
　It would be a shame to hand over the perfect prey to Cyril and the others here.

''And while you're at it, I'll show you the magic of the defective magic.

　And I deployed my ice attribute magic.

　When the white bison tried to crush me.
　The magic I was working on activated.
　It's called Freeze-Nova, a slightly stronger magic.

　Then the white bison - became frozen in ice and froze.

''Whoa!　Somebody help me, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't whine so much. It's all right now.
Huh...?

　Cyril was squatting with his head in his hands, but he finally noticed the white bison here on ice.

　He slowly got up and

D-d-d-d-d-didn't you see that?
Have you ever seen ice magic before?
Could this be you...?
'Oh yes. If this keeps up, it's incomplete.

　At the same time I snapped my fingers, there was a crunching sound and the entire ice and white bison broke apart.

'Ho, the white bison broke apart?　Oh--
Master Cyril!

　The cronies support Cyril as he falls to the ground watching them.
　It seems that he has fainted.

　I let out a sigh and then remember the magic color that was leaking from the fire spear Cyril used earlier.


　That was - white magic power.


　It was only for me, but.......it was the haziest magic power.
　It's easy for beginners to handle, but it quickly reaches its limit.
　It was also the so-called 'not suitable for becoming a strong magician' magic power.

''The golden color is a flaw, and the white color is perfect...''

　Either way, I need to know more about the magic of this world.
　That's how I feel about this event.
