Chapter 19

Magic Practice

After watching the street performance, Aldo and Iris followed Clara, who walked ahead, in high spirits. Once they reached a less crowded area, Clara stopped.

โ€œThis spot should be perfect for magic practiceโ€”itโ€™s wide and quiet!โ€

โ€œMagicโ€ฆ! Clara-san! Please teach me!โ€

Iris bowed deeply, her enthusiasm clear. Aldo, standing behind, crossed his arms and observed his beloved daughter with pride.

โ€œFirst, Iโ€™ll explain the magic system. Magic is divided into six types, butโ€ฆ humans can only use five of them.โ€

โ€œWait, thereโ€™s a type of magic humans canโ€™t use?โ€

Iris looked disappointed. In her mind, magicians were extraordinary beings capable of anything. To learn there were limitations felt like a small dent in her dreams.

โ€œLet me explain the types humans can use. First, thereโ€™s Red Magic, which governs fire and earth. Then, Blue Magic, ruling over water and ice. Green Magic handles wind and trees, while Yellow Magic controls lightning and light. Lastly, thereโ€™s Spirit Magic, shared between humans and spirits. These are the five types humans can wield.โ€

โ€œHmm. Whatโ€™s the magic humans canโ€™t use?โ€

โ€œThat would be Dark Spirit Magic, used only by malevolent spirits. While humans can bond with benevolent spirits to use their magic, dark spirits cannot be accepted by humans. Hence, their magic remains exclusive to them, unusable by anyone else.โ€

โ€œWow, thatโ€™s fascinating!โ€

Both spirits and dark spirits are fundamentally spiritual entities. While spirits are harmonious and beneficial to humans, dark spirits bring harm.

โ€œNow, as for me, I can use Spirit Magic, Blue Magic, and Green Magic.โ€

โ€œReally? But I thought humans could use all five types?โ€

Iris blinked, confused.

โ€œThatโ€™s true, but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, right?โ€

โ€œYeah, like how Iโ€™m good at cleaning, but Dad always leaves a mess!โ€

โ€œIris!โ€

Aldo flushed at his daughterโ€™s candidness, while Clara laughed it off.

โ€œExactly. Itโ€™s the same with magic. A single person can only use up to three types. So, Iris, you might be able to use different colors than I can.โ€

โ€œWow! I wonder what kinds of magic I can use!โ€

Irisโ€™s eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at Clara. Her curiosity about her potential magic was palpable.

โ€œIf you have a knack for Blue or Green Magic, I can teach you those. And since all humans can use Spirit Magic, I can help you with that too. At the very least, youโ€™ll learn one type for sure.โ€

โ€œOkay!โ€

Iris smiled brightly, raising her hand in excitement. Clara chuckled warmly.

โ€œAlright, then letโ€™s start by testing your colors. Iris, hold your palms up to the sky.โ€

โ€œLike this?โ€

โ€œYes. Now, take a deep breath.โ€

โ€œInhaleโ€ฆ exhaleโ€ฆโ€

โ€œKeep going and relax.โ€

โ€œInhaleโ€ฆ exhaleโ€ฆ inhaleโ€ฆ exhaleโ€ฆโ€

Following Claraโ€™s instructions, Iris breathed deeply, concentrating. Both Aldo and Clara couldnโ€™t help but find her focused expression endearing, though they masked their amusement.

โ€œGood! Now focus on your palms. Picture the mana stored below your navel flowing to your hands. Then release it all in one breath.โ€

โ€œInhaleโ€ฆ and exhaleโ€”!โ€

From Irisโ€™s right hand, a wave of red energy emerged, while her left hand emitted green.

โ€œW-wow! Amazing!โ€

Seeing magic flow from her hands for the first time, Iris couldnโ€™t contain her excitement. She beamed, shouting with joy.

โ€œSee the colors? Thatโ€™s your magic affinity. You can use Red Magic and Green Magic. Since I can use Green Magic, I can teach you that one.โ€

โ€œYay! Teach me right nowโ€”oh!โ€

Iris suddenly wobbled and felt faint.

โ€œIris!โ€

Aldo rushed forward to support her. His quick reaction, despite lacking magical enhancements, was impressive.

โ€œIโ€™m okay, Dad. I just feel a little dizzy.โ€

โ€œAre you alright, Iris? When youโ€™re not used to using magic, you might feel mana-drunk. Itโ€™s harmless and something youโ€™ll adjust to with practice.โ€

โ€œGot it.โ€

โ€œIris, donโ€™t overdo it,โ€ Aldo gently scolded, holding her protectively. Iris smiled softly in his arms before drifting off to sleep, breathing peacefully. Aldo was bewildered.

โ€œShe fell asleep?โ€

โ€œPerhaps she feels safe in your arms. Using mana can sometimes make people drowsy. Itโ€™s common,โ€ Clara explained.

โ€œIsnโ€™t magic too much for her? Sheโ€™s just a child.โ€

Aldo, unfamiliar with magic, suspected her young age might make it harder for Iris to handle mana compared to someone like Clara, who was 14.

โ€œAge isnโ€™t a factor. Even adults can experience this. In fact, thereโ€™s a saying that people who get mana-drunk easily often become the most powerful magic users. Iris might have incredible potential.โ€

โ€œReally? Thatโ€™s amazing!โ€ Aldoโ€™s face lit up.

โ€œItโ€™s just a sayingโ€”thereโ€™s no scientific proof.โ€

โ€œDoesnโ€™t matter! My daughter might be a prodigy!โ€

Aldo beamed with pride, the quintessential doting father.

Indeed, Iris possessed extraordinary talent. Whether that talent would lead to greatness or tragedy depended on her upbringing, which lay firmly in Aldoโ€™s hands.

For now, Aldo didnโ€™t knowโ€”and didnโ€™t need to knowโ€”about such dire possibilities. His love for Iris was all that mattered.

โ€œClara, Iโ€™m sorry. She fell asleep after all your effort to teach her.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s alright, Aldo. Iris didnโ€™t do anything wrong.โ€

With Iris sleeping peacefully in his arms, Aldo decided to head home.


The next morning:

โ€œHey, Dad! When can I see Clara-san again?โ€

Iris, her hands balled into fists, eagerly questioned Aldo as he prepared for work.

โ€œUh, whenโ€™s the next timeโ€ฆ?โ€

โ€œI want to be better friends with her! Sheโ€™s such a nice personโ€”teaching me magic like that! No way she could be bad!โ€

Aldo felt both happy and concerned at Irisโ€™s newfound trust.

โ€œIโ€™ll talk to Clara. Maybe she can watch over you while Iโ€™m at work during the day.โ€

โ€œYay!โ€

And so, Iris and Clara began to bond over their shared interest in magic. Their budding friendship painted a bright futureโ€”one filled with promise and joy.
