Chapter 3

Open my eyes.

Even if I say "open my eyes," it's only the left one.

I have no sensation in my right side.

This must be a hospital.

I can see the sterile ceiling.

Don't space out.

So, the other world was just a dream after all?

……………………

……………………

………………I mustn't despair.

That's right.

I've always solved problems through hard work.

Even if I can't move my body, there are still things I can do.

Right, the other world I saw in my dream.

There, I practiced 【Magic Manipulation】 even while lying down.

Like this…………

……………………Huh?

……………………This is…………

!!

I can do it!!

I can feel the magic.

Can I manipulate magic!?

Wait a minute!

Status!

Let me check my status.

I can see it!!

I can see it!!

I'm still connected to the other world!

It might be an illusion.

No, even if it's an illusion, it doesn't matter!

I check my status while practicing 【Magic Manipulation】.

No change in abilities.

Nothing has improved.

……Huh?

……MP

My MP is fully restored.

Wait a minute…………

I focus my magic on my eyes.

Slowly open my eyes.

!!

It's pitch black.

I can't see anything.

When I release the focus on my magic, I can see the hospital ceiling.

Maybe the magic elements are more concentrated in this world?

Is that why no one can use magic?

Maybe the magic elements aren't being consumed?

Alright, let's try it.

I move my neck a little.

It seems I can move my neck slightly.

……No one is in the hospital room.

【Wind Magic】

The blanket moves slightly.

!!

Sure enough.

Wind magic is coming from my right hand.

Since I have no sensation in my body, I can't tell if the wind is hitting me.

But I can faintly see the movement of the blanket.

I try casting 【Wind Magic】 10 times.

Check my status.

My MP hasn't decreased.

Sure enough.

In this world, the magic elements are so concentrated that my MP doesn't decrease.

◇

About two hours later.

No one seems to be coming, so I kept casting 【Wind Magic】.

Then, I check my status.

Amazing!

In just two hours, my MP and 【Wind Magic】 have improved.

Since my MP hasn't decreased, it might be that it's recovering immediately after being used.

After that, a doctor and nurse came and were surprised by how quickly my burns were healing.

They asked me a lot of questions, but I wanted to strengthen my 【Wind Magic】 as soon as possible, so I pretended to be asleep.

After that, I spent the whole day casting wind magic.
