Titania scratched her head.
She opened and closed her eyes, and her long ears twitched several times.
She looked a little panicked.
(Aahh… Mylia finally wants to learn teleportation magic… I acted as if I can do that, but actually, I can't use teleportation magic…)(Titania)
Titania was too lazy to practice teleportation magic because it was very difficult.
(Aa~aahh, what should I do?….. Oh, Mylia, please don't look at me with such glittering eyes…)(Titania)
Titania has been teaching Mylia for a year, and she knows what kind of girl Mylia is.
(According to Chloe, she has suddenly become smarter since last year's lavender harvest season… Is it 'reversion'…?)(Titania)
'Reversion' is a phenomenon where elves regain their ancestral knowledge, and it occurs very rarely.
The elves who regained their ancestral knowledge are geniuses.
They made various achievements during their lives thanks to the knowledge.
('Reversion' in Mylia, huh…)(Titania)
Mylia looked up at Titania with eyes full of expectation.
(So dazzling! Mylia's innocent face is so dazzling!)
Looking at Mylia's face, Titania wanted to poke her cheek somehow.
Puni puni.
*/Poke poke.
Mylia's cheek was so squishy, maybe because Titania always gave her cookies.
「Master? Why are you poking me? What's wrong?」(Mylia)
「….A, Aahh.. No. Nothing.」(Titania)
「So, will you teach me teleportation magic?」(Mylia)
「Y, Yeah… Wait a minute, I'm thinking how I will teach you…」(Titania)
「Okay.」(Mylia)
After Mylia replied to her, she walked a little away and began training her magical circulation.
(….She can finally control 30% of her enormous magical power.)(Titania)
Titania concentrated her magical power on her eyes to see Mylia's magical power.
She saw Mylia's little body enveloped in a bright red aura.
(The amount of her magical power is ridiculous as usual…)(Titania)
30% of the bright red aura was moving around her body, and the remaining 70% was stagnant.
(With only 30% of her magical power, she can even use clairvoyant, transfer magic, telepathy, and levitation magic… I'm impressed… She learns really quickly. Ah, that's right! I can see whether Mylia is a genius or not by teaching her teleportation magic. Well, I can't use teleportation magic, but I more or less know about it. If she could use it, there would be no doubt that she is a genius.)(Titania)
Partly because of her curiosity, Titania decided to teach Mylia about teleportation magic.
Teleportation magic is magic where you manipulate space, and it requires a good sense.
Magical bag is also used to manipulate space, but it's just a tool.
Once it's made, any magician can use it, so it's completely different from teleportation magic.
(I wonder how long it will take her to learn it.)(Titania)
She was confused earlier because she didn't think she could teach Mylia well, but now Titania got a little excited.
Mylia didn't know that Titania couldn't use teleportation magic, she just wanted to learn it no matter what.
Teleportation magic is convenient.
You can go from one place to another place in an instant.
For Mylia, it's the best magic to collect ingredients to make yakiniku.
「Mylia, sorry for making you wait. Can you come here?」(Titania)
「Un!」(Mylia)
Mylia ran toward Titania and looked at her with an excited face.
Titania tried to remember what the elven chief taught her about teleportation magic long ago.
(I never thought I would teach Mylia what that grumpy old man taught me…)(Titania)
「Teleportation magic can only be used to move to places you have been to.」(Titania)
「Eh? So it doesn't work with places I've seen with clairvoyance?」(Mylia)
「Yeah. You have to go to the place first before you can teleport there.」(Titania)
「I see… But why do we have to do that first? I thought it was more convenient. There must be a reason, right?」(Mylia)
「Dunno.」(Titania)
(She's always being an absent-minded girl, but she's actually really sharp. If I told her the reason, she will definitely ask me too many questions before we even start the practice.)(Titania)
Titania stroked Mylia's head and explained how to use the magic.
「The method is the same as other magic. Imagine the scenery of the place where you want to teleport to, and cover your body with 'teleportation magical power'.」(Titania)
「'Teleportation magical power'?」(Mylia)
「Yes. It's like 'fire magical power' when you use fire magic, or 'water magical power' when you use water magic.」(Titania)
「Is it similar to 'gravity magical power' when we use levitation magic?」(Mylia)
「…Yeah, something like that. Maybe…」(Titania)
「Umm… Okay.」(Mylia)
「Remember. Cover your entire body evenly with your magical power. Don't forget your hair, eyelashes, and your clothes, or else, it won't work.」(Titania)
「Alright.」(Mylia)
「After that, try to imagine that the place where you are at now and the target place are connected.」(Titania)
Titania told Mylia exactly what the elven chief told her.
It's easy to say, but difficult to do.
(This magic is freaking hard. I think it will take several months for Mylia to learn…)(Titania)
「I'll give it a try!」(Mylia)
Mylia closed her eyes and pouted her lips cutely as she concentrated.
「Mumumu….」(Mylia)
Titania smiled while looking at Mylia.
The warm morning sun and the sound of birds chirping made Titania sleepy.
When she was yawning, Mylia disappeared all of a sudden.
(...….Ehh!?)(Titania)
After a while, Mylia returned.
「Master, I did it! I teleported to the forest entrance and back here! This magic is quite difficult, but I managed to do it!」(Mylia)
「...…Y, Yeah… it's quite difficult, isn't it? Haha…」(Titania)
「Yes! But it seems that I can only move to a nearby place for now because I still can't control my magical power well.」(Mylia)
「….I see….. We can leave the distance aside, for now, you should train to control your magical power.」(Titania)
「Yes, ma'am!」(Mylia)
(T, This girl….. She's a genius…..!)(Titania)
Watching Mylia successfully do it on the first try, made Titania want to take a peek at what's inside Mylia's brain.
(I think the most important thing she has to learn now isn't magic… it's common sense!)(Titania)
This is not the time for Titania to worry about her dignity as Mylia's master.
(She might have the power to destroy a city in the future. Well, I don't think she would do that, but I have to teach her about common sense just in case… Oh, right. There's also a possibility that she would be controlled by someone with mind manipulation magic, so I should teach her how to deal with others' magic too!)(Titania)
Titania called Mylia who was trying to use teleportation magic again.
「Mylia, come here! This is urgent!」(Titania)
「What's wrong?」(Mylia)
「It's bad for your body to use teleportation magic continuously before you get used to it, so let's end today's practice session and start the lecture.」(Titania)
「Is that so? Alright, then.」(Mylia)
(Ahh, praise the World Tree! I'm glad that Mylia is an obedient child!)(Titania)
Titania thanked the World Tree which is the mother of all elves, and started the lecture.
It's been a week since Titania changed Mylia's training menu which was focused on practical training to lectures.
The lavender harvest was over, and the annual lavender jam making began.
While people were working in the backyard, Mylia was practicing magical power control in the reading room.
Robin's voice echoed as she gave instructions to the villagers when Mylia tried to concentrate on her practice.
(Imagine that my magical power is circulating throughout my cells. Magic comes from the imagination. That means the mind is related to magic… after I'm done circulating my magical power throughout my cells, next I have to fill my mind with my magical power…)
『If you can't control your magical power well, you won't be able to use mental magic.』(Titania)
No one knew what on earth Mylia would fight, but Titania told Mylia to become good at using mental magic.
「Fuuhh….」(Mylia)
Breathing is also important.
Mylia inhaled deeply and exhaled.
She repeated it many times.
「Suuu….. Fuuuhh….」(Mylia)
Sending her magical power to her mind was difficult because 'mind' has no real form.
Mylia imagined her magical power focused in the center of her chest.
She then breathed once every fifteen seconds.
After she did that forty times, the first session of the training was over.
「Fuuhhh..... Yosh.」(Mylia)
Mylia sat on the chair and leaned her back.
She recalled Titania's lectures with Robin's yelling voice as the background sound.
(Master told me fairy tales of this world. I never knew that there were fairy tales similar to "The Rolling Rice Ball" or "Urashima Taro" in this world.)
Mylia leaned forward, rested her chin on her hand and thought about her dreams.
(Make cute friends… Eat yakiniku everyday… I can fulfill my dreams as long as I can use magic well, right? Chloe onee-chan told me there's a specialty meat store in the royal capital. I wonder if I'll be able to buy meat there once I get to the royal capital. But first, I need to make money, right?)
Mylia couldn't wait to turn her dreams into reality in the future.
(Not only will I turn my dreams into reality, I will also help Chloe onee-chan make her dreams come true!…..But for now, I have to do my best to practice magic!)
Mylia still thought that she was at the same level as average magicians.
Titania's magic ability also couldn't be compared to average magicians, but she had a vague evaluation of herself.
Mylia once asked Titania how good she is at magic, and she answered, "How good am I at magic? Well, I'm not sure, but I'm better than the human magicians in the royal capital. Let's say, you will become a full fledged magician if you reach my level."
Because Titania gave an ambiguous evaluation, Mylia thought that she wasn't good enough.
(Master often said, "Those who can't control their magical power well are not magicians." I should keep that in mind.)
Titania was really strict with Mylia.
It was because she wanted Mylia to develop self-control.
(Everyone in the Girls' Royal Academy will definitely make fun of me if I suck at magic… But… I also have a feeling that they would bully me if I'm too good at magic… uhh, bad memories from my previous life when I was at school are flashing in my head…)
Remembering her dark school life, Mylia sighed.
Mylia didn't know that she was shunned by her classmate girls not because she was too smart, but because she got a confession of love from the coolest guy in school.
(Master said that I have a lot of magical power, but that doesn't mean that it will make me good at magic, right? I need to practice more.)
She stopped remembering her high school days and went back to practicing magical power control.
(Master said that I should practice mental magic, but I don't know why she told me to do that… I want to practice teleportation magic more, though…)
Mylia closed her eyes and tried to focus, but suddenlyー
「Wh, What the hell is this!?」
ーshe heard the scream of an old villager from the outside.
(Eh? What's happening?)
Mylia ran toward the window of the reading room and looked outside.
Several villagers, Chloe, Ella, and Robin were looking into a pot.
(Magical power circulation….[Hawk's Eyes]activated!)
With long-distance vision magic, Mylia zoomed in on the pot that made people shocked.
After she saw what was in the pot, Mylia was surprised too.
(Eh!? The lavender jam is shining!? What in the world's happening!?)
