I had the druids get used to fighting as three-man cells, and at the same time, I had Gi Za teach me the basics of magic in order to defeat the gray wolves.

As for Reshia, I've sort of learned my lesson.

And while I thought to keep my distance from her for a while, I happened to see a tottering kobold pass by me.

So I took a slab of dried meat, and waved it in front of it.

It vigorously wagged its tail. So knowing full well that it was interested, I threw the meat into Reshia's jail. The kobold followed the slab of meat, jumping into Reshia's room.

Heh... This is for keeping me awake all night.

I think I heard Lili scream just now, but let's ignore that. Ignore...

"How adult of you," remarked Gi Za as he shot a cold glance at me.

Considering last night, something on this level is just fine.

"That aside, teach me your magic," I said, brushing away what just happened.
"Mn," replied Gi Ga as he nodded, then he began his lecture on magic.
"I think you know this already, but..."
"Yeah, just keep it short and simple."

With another nod, the lecture on magic began.

To put it simply, magic is god's grace, while magic power is something exhibited through the consumption of something within living beings that is known as ether

For humans, they call it mana, for everyone else, they call it ether. And it is by consuming this ether that Gi Za is able to summon blades of wind and tornadoes.

Ether is something that belongs within the body of living things. As soon as it touches the air or the water, it will immediately disperse, and return to the body. Magic can be demonstrated as long as the ether hasn't dispersed yet.

Because ether disperses upon contact with foreign body, gathering power and casting powerful magic is not something common.

"So what you're saying is that ether is something that is normally used within the body?" I said.
"No, that's not it either," replied Gi Za as he shook his head.
