No matter how much Cortina retorted, Maxwell has the same nonchalant air around him. She retorts and reprimands him without any sign of hesitation, while the other completely ignores it and moves at his own pace.
ãWhatâs wrong, did I do something wrong. You were always telling me about what mistakes Iâve doneã ãItâs because we have first-time visitors over here, canât you even act decently in front of them?!ã
Continuing his preparations for tea, Maxwell continued listening to Cortinaâs remarks without caring about it.
ãWell then, Nicole right?? Place your hand over hereã ãHey, Iâm still not done talkingâ¦â¦ã ãShut it already, Cortina. Itâs because of you acting like that, which made Reid misunderstandã ãYoâ You! That has nothing to do with this situation!?ã ãYou should have cleared it up that time while youâve had a chance. Well, I guess it was already too lateã
No, wait. If I remember correctly, I should have been rejected at that time. Why does it seem like Cortina is bothered by that?
ãUmmmâ¦â¦ã ãNn? Ah, you didnât know about this story? Well, itâs just that she was hiding her real feelings for Reid, it seems like she was really reluctant about itã ãOi, what are you trying to teach the children!ã
Cortina who seems to have finally got fed up went straight to Maxwell and attempted to deliver a pound on his head. However, comparing the tall Maxwell and the small stature of the cat tribe, her protest was not that effective. But Iâm really interested in the continuation of this story.
ãWell, Reid was a really serious person. He often gets misunderstood though, and because of his nature, he sometimes creates misunderstandings instead. One of those misunderstandings involves her you see. Hahaha! ã ãMaxwell! You, you still remember about that!?ã
What is he saying? Though Iâm only guessing. If I actually attempted to continue and didnât give up, was there a possibility she would have accepted my proposal!? I was convinced at that time that continuing was futile so I gave up, but apparently I still had my chances if I actually continued.
It was really unexpected for Cortina to show a cute smile like that, so I ended up grinning to myself involuntarily. This is the first time Iâve seen her like this.
ãAh, wait, Nicole-chan? Why are you grinning like that?ã ãEh? Eh, that isâ¦â¦ probably, that? ã ãGeez, sometimes you really act like an adult, you know? Everyone makes a mistake once or twice in a lifetime!ã ãIn your case though, he died before receiving a proper answer. But still, for a person with a title of God of Death to confess to the Warlord was something even I wasnât able to predictã ãThatâs just because Reid didnât any gutsâ¦â¦ Un, thatâs not itâ¦â¦ã
Cortina who was in high spirits a while ago is now embarrassed. Seeing her figure, I could somehow understand the cause. She is also one of the people whose lives changed because of my death. After all, in order to face the Devil, it was me who told her to escape to call the others. That would have probably been traumatic.
ãUuu, okay, enough of this. The story ends here! Now start with the measurements alreadyã
After shaking her head as if to shake something off, she urged everyone to proceed with the measurements. However, the vision of me facing that unreasonable enemy pops up in my head. It was an enemy that I know I wouldnât be able to defeat on my own. If it was from the time before I was hailed a hero, I would have done my best to escape that situation. She definitely continued living while carrying that burden on her back.
ãâ¦â¦Unã
Though I thought about it, I donât have any plan to reveal my identity right now. Even if I am able to return to my original self, I would only make her feel burdened by my situation. If I was born as a man, I might have been able to inherit that nameâ¦â¦ but right now, Iâm a woman. Also, I was often hugged and cuddled.
When I placed my hand on the tool, my magic aptitude was displayed. After reading the results, Maxwell leaks out a surprise.
ãHou. Your magic value seems to be extremely high. If this is the case, then you wonât have any problems in regards to magicã ãEh, butâ¦â¦ I canât handle my magic that well and its effect is really shortã ãThatâs because your magic control is not that great, so it wonât be able to completely manifest your potential. The release amount you can control also seems to be low. Honestly speaking, this is something I will be looking forward toã
There are three important factors that are measured when evaluating magic power. That is Potential, Release, and Control.
Potential is the total value of magic power contained within a person, it could also be compared to a tank.
Release is the amount of magic power that you could extract from inside you at one time. Itâs comparable to a faucet.
Control is the ability to manipulate the magic power that was taken out and turn it into magic.
If you donât have the potential, your magic wonât last long, if you donât have a high release rate, you wonât be able to pump out more magic to power it up. It would also be useless if the amount you could pump out is not enough to supply the magic. Then if you donât have control, you wonât be able to properly mold the magic power into magic. These three factors are all important factors.
And as for me, I am the type that has problems in regards to Release and Control.
ãDonât be impatient. Magic Release will improve as you grow up, along with that is dependant on how much you train. Control is the same. Or rather, Potential alone is the main factor above everything else is what I would say.ã ãIs that really so?ã ãWell, if we really push the pace. You would be able to reach above Reid and Gadius on potential alone. I would deem you to be a better disciple than those twoã
For some reason, Maxwell is doing his best to encourage me. Isnât his attitude a little different than how I used to know him? The time when I realized that my potential is zero, I canât forget about how depressed I was and laugh it off.
ãIf you have this much magic potential, it definitely wonât be a problem entering the Magic Academyã ãThen, that means!ã ãYes, youâve passed. Welcome to Raum Magic Academyã
As a heroâs daughter, I in a sense could be said to have a firmer connection to anyone else. There wouldnât have been a problem in admission even if I only have a small magic potential.
In this way, I finally acquired my qualification for admission to the Magic Academy.
