Now that we have finished with the greetings, everyone headed to the second floor .
“It’s better to do it outside, but it’s cold . ”
“Aai . ”
“Kuh . ”
When Nico saw me raise my hand, he imitated me, and Nii-sama covered his face when he saw this .
Because the study room was left as it was this morning, there was a small table, chairs and a blackboard, so Nico and I quickly sat down, and waited excitedly for Nii-sama’s class to begin .
“Mm, Lei and Your Highness . ”
“What’s wrong?”
“Whath’sh wrong?”
“I think Lei knows this, but we don’t use desks or chairs to practice magic . ”
Oh, that’s right . When Nico and I got off the chair, Nii-sama beckoned us to the carpet on the floor .
“It’s called magic circulations, and you begin by being conscious of the magic inside you, and practice how to move it . “
Indeed, Nii-sama and Otou-sama trained a lot at home .
“However, to be honest, this is a bit boring . It’s not interesting at first . ”
At that time, the library door opened softly, and Nico’s father came in . Nico was listening seriously to Nii-sama, and Nii-sama didn’t pay attention to what was happening behind him . Nico’s father signalled me to be quiet by putting his finger to his mouth, so I kept quiet .
“First, Lei . Let’s make His Highness aware of his magic . ”
“Ai!”
I faced Nico and took his hand . I sent magic to him like I did with Alistair . He’ll be surprised . And if I send too much, it would probably feel gross to him, so I’ll just send a little .
“Nico, Nico wiww shend magic . ”
“I’m not sure what you’re doing though . ”
Nico tilted his head in confusion, and I pushed a little magic into Nico .
“Wow . ”
Nico was surprised and quickly let go of my hand . I laughed .
“What did you do?”
“Thath’sh magic . ”
“I feel like my body is swaying . ”
“Magic shwaysh . ”
Nico looked curious .
“Your Highness, perhaps, you had too much of this swaying, so you felt bad . ”
“Lots of swaying… I see . ”
Nico suddenly realised something .
“You’re practising how to expel that swaying . ”
Nii-sama continued while looking mischievous, “It’s actually dangerous for students, so they practice slowly, but is it impossible for you, Your Highness?”
“I can do it!
Nico suddenly got motivated .
“Then, this is a magic stone . ”
Nii-sama took out a small light magic stone out from his bag .
“This is a magic stone used for light that Lei had filled up when she was one . ”
“Lei did?”
Nico was surprised, and Nico’s father raised his eyebrows . It was an accident . An accident .
“Ith jushth happened tho be in my hand . ”
“Fufu, everyone was worried at the time . ”
“Ai . Sowwy . ”
I’m good now .
“You have more magic than Lei did at that time . So, you won’t feel bad if you channel your magic into this one stone . Do you want to try it?”
“I do!”
Nico nodded .
“For now, hold it in your hand . ”
“Hmm . ”
Nico put the faded magic stone on his palm and tilted his head .
“Nothing’s happening .
“Lei wiww thry shwaying magic from thhe wefth . ”
“Hmm, do that . ”
I held Nico’s left hand as he held the magic stone in his right and gently pushed magic into him .
“Oh, it’s swaying . ”
“Shwaying geththing bigger . ”
I swayed my body while still holding his hand .
“Hahaha! Shake, shake!”
Our magic also shook . The magic swaying inside the laughing Nico slipped off a little .
“Ah . ”
The magic that had slid off of him was sucked in by the magic stone . The magic stone quickly turned red, then purple . It should repel soon .
“Oh . ”
“Did you geth repewwed?”
“It was like the magic stone was saying it didn’t need any more . ”
“Dat!”
It seemed like his magic was sucked safely . Everyone was watching nervously, and then they felt relieved when they heard this .
“Let’s get the magic stones to suck your excess magic once a week like this . And if you feel bad in the meantime, then let His Highness or Lei look at you, and get the magic stone to suck your magic again . ”
“Alright!”
“Now, let’s leave that aside, and practice circulating your magic . ”
“Hmm . ”
Nico was full of motivation .
“What? You’re finished?”
“Father!”
“Your… Highness . ”
Nico looked at his father, and Nii-sama turned around and realised that the Prince was there . They both raised their voices . Gill, who had been watching happily, also adjusted his posture .
“Isn’t it unfair for only Nico to experience these things?”
I wondered what he would say, and he said that . Everyone became troubled . I know someone like this, so I knew what the Prince was going to say next .
“I want to try it too . ”
“But, Your Highness, your job is to channel magic into the magic stones . Why do you want to channel your magic into a small one?”
Nii-sama pointed out calmly .
“I’m not saying I want to channel magic into the magic stone . I’m saying I haven’t done anything interesting like channelling magic into someone else . ”
Nii-sama glanced at me . Oh yeah, Nii-sama hasn’t done this either . In other words, the only person who has done it here is me, no wait, Nico too .
“I haven’t done it before, either . But, I have met Hollows and felt my magic sway out of my body . I just replaced that and put in it a way that His Highness, Nicholas, would understand,” Nii-sama said a little coldly .
“Then, let’s try it . ”
“No, thanks . ”
The Prince looked at Nii-sama who had refused, and my heart was beating . I’m sure this is the long-winded up feeling I felt when I was Japanese . The Prince looked at me without flinching at all .
“If Luke won’t do it, then Lei, won’t you do it with me?”
“She won’t,” Nii-sama refused before I could answer .
“That way of speaking . You’re exactly like Dean . ”
“Thank you,” Nii-sama was curt .
“The point is that right? You don’t want Lei to touch anyone . ”
“I’m-! I let her do it with Prince Nicholas because he’s still young, but I don’t want her to overuse her magic . She’s only one!”
“Hmm . ”
Nii-sama is right on this . I straightened my posture that had weakened because of the Prince . I was about to send magic to him .
“Then, Luke, you do it . ”
“That’s- . ”
“You can’t?”
“… I think I can . ”
You can just say you can’t!
“If you don’t like being touched, then how about we shake our magic outside like Hollows do . ”
Nii-sama looked empty and went silent . Come to think of it, why do Hollows resound in our bodies? Even if we magic users are near each other, our bodies don’t resonate .
No .
There was a time when it did .
I looked up at Nii-sama in surprise, and he also looked surprised .
With the barrier!
