Chapter 18

In order to learn water magic, the three of us—Clozel, Orobas, and I—came to a nearby meadow.

It seems that from now on, whenever we learn magic, we will do it in this meadow.

"Then, without further ado, I'll show you water magic."

As Clozel said this, water gushed out continuously from the tips of her ten fingers, danced in the air, and formed a huge mass of water above our heads.

"Wow—"

I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. She could control so much water without chanting or using a magic circle.

"I was able to obtain the same abilities as the water goddess because I consumed her."

When she mentioned consuming the water goddess earlier, did she really eat her? The image that came to mind made me want to laugh a little.

"Mr. Norman, you can't use natural magic due to your constitution, right? How should we teach you?"

Earlier, I had explained to Clozel that my constitution made it impossible for me to use natural magic in the usual way. Natural magic involves manipulating the countless fine spirits in the atmosphere to activate spells. The four major spirits—fire, wind, water, and earth—are well-known.

"In that case..."

I showed Clozel the sigil on my left hand and explained that I had learned fire magic using spirit summoning.

"There's such a method?"

Clozel clasped her hands in amazement.

"But, what should we do...? I don't think I can do something as skillful as Aim."

Hmm... It might be necessary for me to start by learning spirit summoning.

However, I had never learned spirit summoning in class. It wasn't covered in the basic courses. I do have some knowledge from reading many magic books, but that doesn't mean I can actually do it. Even the magic book *Goetia* didn't detail the method of spirit summoning. So, what should I do...

We decided to put it on hold for now, and the three of us returned home.

"Big brother, you're finally back!!"

For some reason, my sister, who should be living in the mansion, was waiting at the front of the house. Why would my sister come to my house? As I wondered about this, an idea came to mind. Maybe I could learn spirit summoning from my sister.
