Chapitre 5: So that's abnormal, so what?
Several months passed, from when Dad first said he had published a tutoring request until finally, we received a letter saying someone had accepted the job and was already on their way to us.
What have I been doing all that time, you ask?! Well, train, of course. I have to learn how this power actually works, and there really is nothing else to do besides chores, ugh, dreadful chores, my deadly enemies!
What was I on? Oh yeah, a tutor is on their way to us! Great! I wonder what he will look like! ehehe! Maybe it's a cute little teacher with a mystical witch hat and her staff! ehehe!, or a handsome stoic male teacher that says stuff like, don't worry princess, I will teach you well, ahh~, yet my dreams and expectations couldn't be far from what I thought my teacher would end up being.
My expectations were crushed when Mom opened the door the morning he arrived. I saw an old geezer with a long beard carrying a staff and a mage hat; this can't be it?! Where's my blue prince or my beautiful young girl teacher?! Did he eat them?! Uh?
Oh, this is dreadful, even his name sucks, Ronnie, ugh, what a basic name, makes me wanna vomit, okay, calm down. I'm definitely being too harsh now; now that I think about it, he will likely be the best person to teach me. After all, he doesn't resemble a traditional fictional mage figure and attire.
And so, my education began. At first, we started off easy with reading and writing; thinking of it reminds me of my old life. Of course, I had to learn this world's language when it came to writing because I somehow cheated the system. If I wanted to communicate in writing, I would eventually have to learn how to write. It takes me just a little over a year to learn how to read and write correctly, so next, we finally start with the stuff I was really good at in my previous life: math! This world's math is so basic it seems like kindergarten stuff to me! And this is supposed to be hard? Come on, old man! Of course, 12/4 is 2, ahahaha!
"You learn really fast, Yui. You're surprising me more and more as time goes by," The old geezer said, not like I wanted to know, but okay, thank you, old man. "oh no, it's none of that. It's just that I have an excellent teacher!" Keeping appearances is always a good idea to not make anyone angry or disappointed. "ahaha! Well, of course! Believe it or not, Yui, I was once the saint of the hero's party!" So that was why he was so cocky, but how long ago was that adventure? "no way?! How long ago was that? A century ago?" Master did not like that comment as he gave me a harder-than-usual head pat. "Ouchy! Why you do that for?" Master shut me down quickly. "respect your elders, you brat! Come on, I'm not that old, Yui, but yes, it was a while ago, like you said, so what I'm getting at is there's almost no wiser option for a tutor other than me! ahahaha! Now, back to studying, we chatted long enough." No, we haven't. "uhhhhhg but math sucks!!!, when will you start teaching me magic! I wanna kill dragons and stuff now!" When will the monster banging and slaying start?
"Yui, I will tell you what my teacher told me when I was also desperate to learn magic, "every journey has its final day; don't rush." That sounded familiar, like that other old geezer on that anime video game. Before I could remember that, it was study time again.
uhhhg, so with that, back to boring math and other boring academic subjects, we go, what a dreadful life! When will he teach me magic!!!?, not cool old geezer!
While we study, everything is just between me and Ronnie. As soon as the lesson ends, though, it is business as usual, helping mom with chores and dad with a thing or two regarding hard labor. Isn't child labor illegal? Well, I'm not being pressured into helping my dad, and I don't feel uncomfortable helping out occasionally. It's all good.
Soooo, it's time for a bit of exploring and analyzing. Whenever I'm free, I escape my parents and my tutor to play with other kids outside. Dad doesn't like it whenever I do, but he constantly just reprimands me for going out without permission, and that's that. But I mean, come on, I'm still just a kid. I feel lonely with just an old geezer as my friend.
"Master Ronnie, why are chants needed for the spells?" Master took no time to answer. "Because it looks cool, and also, it potentiates the power of the spell by a lot." Was that it? "So I could technically do magic without chants?" I wanted to know now. "While it is technically possible the only people that are good at it are usually people from the royal families with connections directly to the gods."
I knew it, so what I have been practicing in secret is abnormal, oh? I didn't tell you, but I have been practicing water magic in silence because I don't want anyone to know. You know what that means, right? I haven't been chanting or conjuring the water spells all this time. Is it taboo? I better keep this to myself.
