The first boss that stood in the way of the hero in the Ascalon Empire War Chronicles was more of a swordsman than a mage.

It’s a very nasty and formidable enemy that combines sparkling swordsmanship with abnormal status magic debuffs.

No!

The reason why the sword shines is because they used a lot of jewels, and any abnormal status can be cured quickly with health potions.

In the first place, if I seal my magic, my weak attack power is not something that a hero should be afraid of.

"Teacher, can't my magic be something like spewing fire or ice?”

“No, it can’t.”

“Ugh...”

My teacher, the magician (26 years old), is very straightforward.

He's an elite who entered the Magic Bureau as the youngest ever in the Imperial Academy and in the empire, yet he doesn’t empathize with me? Even though I'm a fairly high-ranking and good noble...

“Come on, Fran-sama, let’s do repetition exercises instead of lying around.”

I’m having a magic lesson in the garden with soil laid down. With the demon teacher looking down at me from right beside, I squirm and stand up, thrusting both hands forward. I focus on kneading my magical power within my body...

“Nnghh... Ei!”

Poof!

With a silly sound, a smoke puff smaller than a ping-pong ball appears. This is my magic, a smoke that makes you a bit sluggish when touched. And after two seconds, it dissipates into nothing.

“Again.”

“Nnngghhh... Ei!”

Poff...

“Again.”

“Nnngghhhh... Ei!”

Poof...

“Again.”

“Nnnngghhh... Nothing comes out anymore!”

“Again.”





“Waaah! This loop is scary!!”

I clenched my fists and lay down on the ground, showing my refusal with my whole body.

This! This is what I hate about this teacher!

He makes me repeat things so monotonously. His expression hardly changes, making him seem like a machine. I feel an immense pressure!



“Haa... Well then, Fran-sama, let’s end here for today. You must be out of magic power, so eat well and sleep well. Thank you for today.”
