Chapter 43

The next day, I went to school for the first time in a week.

I hadn't been able to go because I had been training intensively with Agreas.

Now that I had finally learned the four elemental magics—fire, wind, water, and earth—my steps felt lighter than usual as I headed to school.

What magic should I learn next?

There are still many others I haven't mastered, like alchemy, astrology, and necromancy.

So, thoughts of what kind of demon to summon next began to swirl in my mind.

"Hey, why is an incompetent who can't even use magic still attending school?"

It was a sudden encounter.

No, we had been attending the same school. Meeting him was inevitable at some point.

In front of me stood Dimit, the adopted son of the Esland family.

To me, he was a step-sibling and the official heir.

Dimit was walking down the hallway with a group of students, almost as if he was showing off that they were his underlings.

"I'm here to learn magic..."

"Huh? You still haven't given up? You're an incompetent who can't use magic! That's why that house is mine now! So, you should just become a commoner and fall from grace already!"

"But I can use magic now."

"Huh?"

Dimit stared at me with wide eyes.

He didn't seem to know that I could now use magic.

"Hey, is it true that this incompetent can use magic?"

"Oh, right, I remember he was dueling with Legal before. He used magic then."

One of the students who was with Dimit explained.

"Hmm, so you've recently learned to use magic, huh?"

"Something like that."

"Hahaha, I see. So you can use magic now. Alright, let's duel right now. I'll show you that no matter how hard an incompetent tries, they remain incompetent."

Dimit patted my shoulder and declared this.

"No thanks. Even if I fight now, I won't be able to beat you."

"Hahaha, that's right. A newbie who just learned magic recently has no chance of beating me!"

After laughing for a while, Dimit walked away.

I sighed in relief as he disappeared from my sight.

"Hey."

I turned around to see Dimit still looking at me.

"Do you have any innate magic?"

"No, I don't..."

"Of course not. By the way, I have two innate magics. Remember that well."

With that, Dimit finally left.

He has two innate magics.

A magician with two innate magics is extremely rare. It's proof of how talented Dimit is.

I probably can't beat him right now.

But if I master more demon summoning, perhaps...

That's what I was thinking.

I want to improve my current ranking somehow.
