Chapter 21
Finally Leveled Up
That night, I saw lots of nightmares, I moved around in my sleep, and I cried a lot . Then, my back was also patted many, many times over by Amandsan .
The Kuujou Yuuri1 and Yuuri Kujou2 in the dreams were eaten by the werewolf many times .
Then, inside the werewolf’s stomach, the two me became one .
It was even worse when I woke up the next day . Although I couldn’t remember what kind of dreams I saw, my head felt heavy as I cried too much .
Uu~…
Is Amandsan busy? She was no longer here in the room .
My physical condition was also bad, did I move about in my sleep alone…?
After a while, I came to think of something . Won’t it be healed with Heal or Cure?
As expected, after applying Light Heal, I felt a little bit restored .
At that time, I thought of seeing my status for a bit and…
It seems that I leveled up~!
Yuuri Kujou . 8 years old . Sage level 2 .
HP 176
MP 165
Skills Possessed:
Magic 100
Healing 100
Alchemy 100
Titles:
Magic Master
Healing Master
Stray from Another World
Fortune Bringer
My HP and MP increased a bit .
Then…Eh? My title increased .
Fortune Bringer, so it said . Does that mean my luck is quite good?
Un . Certainly, I’ve been meeting with just good people ever since coming to this world, so my luck can be considered good . That’s how I got this title, I guess?
But I thought that when I leveled up, I would hear a sound effect just like in game . I wonder when did I level up…?
It was really unfortunate for me not to realize that moment .
I guess it was yesterday, during when I formed a party? I might have received the experience points from when Leon-san and the others fought and defeated the enemies .
It was just that I still wanted to fight and earn experience points by myself .
Fighting…Huh?
That’s right…In order to become stronger, I have to fight…
If it was in the game, my chest won’t ache even if I were to cut down the monsters before me . When I thought that the monsters were also living beings that bled, as expected, I hesitated in defeating them .
But since they were monsters, if we didn’t defeat them, then we would be the ones suffering the damages…Right . Just like the people from the Dusk Village .
That’s right . I shouldn’t hesitate .
For example, if the enemy wasn’t a monster, but a lion . If I were holding a gun during when I was attacked, I think I would pull the trigger .
The same goes for the monsters .
If I don’t resist, I will get killed, so I have to fight and defeat them .
But before that, it might not be good if my magical power doesn’t increase…
It’d feel like wasting the treasure, since I’ve become a sage too .
As I was having a breakfast with Amandsan who just returned, I was thinking about discussing my magic practice . Then, I decided to talk about it with Leon-san .
Sorry for adding to your trouble, despite you being so busy already…
But thanks to it, I managed to have a magic practice in the afternoon .
The one who taught me magic seemed to be a magician at the Izel fort .
During the subjugation yesterday, the ones going were magic swordsmen, so I thought that there might be no magician at all, but in reality, there were magicians here . It seemed that they remained inside the fort because the fort’s defense would be weak should they also go along for the monster subjugation .
Since I would be dealing with that magician-san from now on, I went to Leon-san’s office to wait for the magician-san together with Leon-san and Amandsan .
“I am nervous…What kind of person will they be?”
In my imagination, a magician is an elderly male with a long beard wearing a black robe . For some reason, that’s the image I get .

“Although their words can be a bit harsh at times, they are a good person . They are only 16 years old, but they’re already called as a genius in magic . ”
Ooh~ .
Such an amazing person! I hope we can get along well . I wonder if they are a male, or a female?
While I was waiting full of excitement, the office’s door was knocked .
“I’m Serena . I’m here because Leader called me . ”
“Come in . ”
The door was slowly opened .
The one who appeared was a girl with her golden-colored curly hair who was wearing a simple yet high-quality dress . Combined with her slightly slanted blue eyes, she looked just like a bisque doll .
Uwaa . This time, it’s a princess…how lovely…
That person slowly bent her body while grabbing her dress just like a real princess, showing such an elegant bow .
A…Amazing! It’s just like what’s portrayed in the films!
“I’m Serena Lively . 3 What kind of business do you have with me?”
“Serena, how many times do I have to tell you that this is not the palace? Hurry and raise your face . ”
“Yes, Leonhart-sama . ”
As Leon-san said, the girl called Serensan slowly raised her face .
Uwaa . Even if I looked at her so close like this, she was still really pretty . She was really just like a doll .
“I’d like you to teach this Yuuri Kujou about how to control her magic . ”
“Is she the rumoured foreign priest from a few days ago? But she can also use magic, then that means…?”
“Yuuri isn’t a priest, but she is called a sage, so it seems . She can use both recovery magic and offensive magic . However, the power of her offensive magic is too strong that it might even drag our allies . ”
“Can use both…? I see, that brings us to controlling her magic, is it?”
“Can we ask you to do that?”
“If that’s what Leonhart-sama ordered . ”
“I’ll leave it to you . ”
“Understood . ”
After Serensan did yet another beautiful bow, she slowly turned towards me . Her blue eyes were looking fixedly at me .

“I’m Serena Lively . From now on, I will have to teach you on how to control your magic . Since it’s related to controlling magic, I won’t go easy on you even if you are a child . Will that be fine?”
“U-uhm . I am Yuuri Kujou . Err, I will try my best, so please do help me . ”
She seems so mature despite being only 16 years old . For some reason, I feel so childish in comparison to her that I’m so embarrassed .
But, somehow I feel like I’m turning more childish than before . I’m easily brought to tears . Could it be that my mental age is being affected by my physical age…?
T…that couldn’t be .
“I wonder if we can do the training at the training grounds in the basement? There is a barrier, and no matter how strong the magic hits it, it won’t cause the building to be broken . I think that it will be fine for Yuuri-chan to use her magic there . ”
I see . Eh? But if that’s the case, why did we have the recovery magic check the other day at the plaza?
When I tried to ask Amandsan, I was told that it was because recovery magic won’t break the walls .
U…I have no words to return to her .
I went down to the training grounds in the basement with Serensan, and with Amandsan leading the way . It was a slightly spacious room made of stones .
“Now, I think Yuuri-chan can use your magic to your heart’s content here . I wanted to hide the fact that I still have a lot more to go in magic, though . ”
“Eh?”
“Nothing . ”
I couldn’t catch her last sentence because she muttered it with such a small voice…I wonder if it’s just something trivial?
“Then, let’s begin at once . Will Amandsan watch?”
“That’s right, I think I will watch for a while . ”
“Then, please sit over there . ”
After Amandsan sat on the chair in the corner of the room, Serensan began to talk .
The magic that we use seem to work in a way that we use the air in this world .
The magicians use the long chant to gather the magical power around them, condensing it, then utilizing the magic . Then, it seems that if we use the magic while deciding on the target at that time, for example if it is a monster, then the magic will only be applied to the monster .
U~n . I feel like I understand, yet at the same time I feel like I don’t…
In my case, I don’t need to use a long chant…I wonder how I should decide on the target then?
“Anyway, let’s see your magic . Try to hit the wooden figure in the middle with your magic . What’s your specialty magic?”
“Specialty…”
“Then, what magic attribute can you use?”
“Thunder, wind, fire, water, and earth . ”

“…All attributes…”
Serensan was surprised, but she quickly regained her composure .
“Then, can you use Wind Arrow?”
“Yes . ”
“Then, try attacking that wooden figure . ”
Uuuhm, then I should carefully reduce the power as much as possible, I guess . Ah, but that’s not it, I should try to make the magic only affect the target . ”
For the time being, let’s just try .
“Wind Arrow!”
As I chanted the magic, several wind arrows rained incessantly towards the wooden figure .
The wooden figure was minced to small pieces, turning it into wood chips .
“Impossible…To be able to use magic just by chanting its name? That’s not possible…In addition, that wooden figure is supposed to have a magical resistance inserted in it…? That, such a…”
Errr…I’m sorry…
Since it’s a magic from the game, it might be lacking in common sense…
Ah, but earlier, I felt that the Wind Arrow only hit the wooden figure for some reason .
Could it be that imagining it was the key?
I wonder if I’ll be able to do it well by continuing this practice?
Since it would be a waste of the wooden figures as they would break anyway despite being clad in protective magic, for some reason they were replaced by big logs .
Why them?
“Just when I thought of processing them . Please turn them into firewood during the magic training . ”
“What?”
“Don’t you think that you can also fine-tune your magic while aiming to process the wood into firewood?”
Eh? That’s the reason?
“We have a lot of wood in the Demon Forest . That’s why, go ahead and practice to your heart’s content . ”
Amandsan, I think that’s not the problem at allllllll…!
