My magic capacity is 120,000?!
Yeah, your magic capacity is 120,000 and your magic strength is 40,000.
Taichi, that's how strong you are.
Even Rin has a magic capacity of 37,000 and a magic strength of 5,000.
I have to say that these figures are astounding.
They are?
Of course they are!
Normally, humans with a capacity of over 10,000 and strength of over 2,000
can become a knights or royal mages.
Even Lemiya, the top mage in the Elistain Magic Kingdom, only has...
My magic capacity is 43,000 and my magic strength is 6,000.
Myura's capacity is 35,000 with a strength of 3,800.
Right?
Yes.
So do you understand why you're becoming my apprentices now?
You both possess such astounding power,
yet you have practically no idea how to use it.
You're just like infants in my eyes.
It takes considerable training to use magic power.
Even more so if your power is vast.
If you two don't learn how to control your magic,
then you could destroy yourselves.
Okay, so what happens if we do train and master the use of our magic?
Well, you'd be well above S-Rank adventurers and the top royal mages.
No, depending on your training, Taichi,
you could wage war on entire nations single-handedly,
and wipe them out as you please.
Huh? Entire nations?
Yeah.
If you became the king of your own nation,
you'd have all the money and women you could want.
Ow! Ow!
Hey!
Ow!
Well, it looks like it's going to be worthwhile to train these two, Myura.
Yes.
Oh, that looks good!
Episode 2 Magic Training
There's no need to hold back in this house.
Eat as much as you want.
Thank you very much.
Okay, thanks for the food!
Now, let's start by explaining magic spells.
Myura?
Magic spells are techniques that we can use by providing spirits with our magic power.
Spirits?
This is such a fantasy world.
So mages can't activate spells without the help of those spirits?
That's right.
Fire, water, wind, and earth
are the four types of spirits.
So that means these same four attributes exist in magic as well.
So the spirit you pay magic power to determines the type of spell you cast?
Yes.
I'm glad you're such a quick learner, Rin.
At least one of you is.
Hey, I'm listening!
Anyway, mages don't actually get to choose which attribute to use.
That's because the spirits are the ones that choose the mages.
Normally a mage can only utilize one attribute.
We call these people Single Magicians.
However,
there are rare cases where a person can utilize multiple attributes.
For example, Myura here...
I'm a Dual Magician capable of using both fire and earth.
And I'm a Triple Magician capable of using fire, water, and wind.
But Rin, you...
You can use all the attributes.
A-All of them?!
Yeah. It's an extremely rare case.
You're a Quad Magician who's able to use all four attributes.
Way to go.
So what about me?
What's mine?
Well, Taichi, your attribute is...
It is?
I have no clue.
Hey!
Taichi, we learned that you're not a mage, you're a sorcerer.
Sorcerer?
What we would call a Unique Magician.
Mages use magic spells, but a sorcerer uses sorcery.
How is that different?
Magic spells are cast by borrowing the power of the spirits.
We just talked about that, right?
Yes.
The mage chants the proper incantation and borrows power from the spirits.
But sorcery doesn't need that.
What do you mean?
A sorcerer uses the very spirits themselves.
Not their power.
That's possible?
Yes.
But in order to do so,
the sorcerer needs to forge pacts with the spirits he commands.
One is used, and one uses the other.
The power born from such a powerful bond is leagues above what mages can wield.
Do you now understand why I said you'd have the power to destroy entire nations?
Uh, I don't want anything to do with nations, politics, or any of that hassle.
I honestly don't care.
That's not something the potentially strongest man in the world should say.
Good grief, what a waste of talent.
So ultimately, what is my attribute?
Unfortunately, we can't figure out what your attribute is as a Unique Magician.
Some Unique Magicians don't form pacts with spirits,
and instead control ancient sorcery to manipulate light, darkness, and space-time.
Either way, though...
You'll know when the time comes.
So until then...
Train hard!
There.
Materialize your magic power in your right hand, and then punch.
That's all there is to it.
No matter how strong your magic power is, it means nothing if you can't materialize it.
This is fundamental.
So master it today.
That's crazy.
Good luck.
Huh?
What is it?
Oh, well... Did you just say something?
No, I didn't.
Did I imagine it?
Come on, concentrate.
If you can't do this, you're not getting dinner.
Huh?!
Fire.
You have to imagine your magic.
How and why does fire burn?
It's important to form a strong image of that in your mind.
The incantation, "Fire" is a signal that conveys that image to the spirits.
Once you get used to it, you won't even need to say it anymore.
Now you try it.
Okay.
Why does fire burn?
Because of the chemical reaction known as combustion.
What it needs is something combustible.
A fuel, oxygen, and the heat to ignite it.
Fire.
I'm surprised.
I didn't think you could master the basic fire spell that quickly.
We just learned about it in science—
Er, no, uh...
You really are a fast learner.
Teaching you is rewarding.
What's the matter?
Oh, no, I just expected you to be well, more strict.
Is that how I seem to you?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything weird by it.
It's fine.
Elves do tend to be viewed that way.
Also, don't worry about politeness with me.
By the way, Rin.
While I may be your teacher for now,
I hope we can become equals later.
I mean that.
Myura...
Now, let's get back to your training.
Oh, about that...
What?
I just had an idea.
Fire.
You taught me that you have to imagine magic, right?
Yes.
The image for this is that of wood or oil burning.
But I think the flames would be stronger if I was burning something else.
Like gas, for example.
Gas?
I did it!
So that's what it means to imagine your magic!
A blue flame?
This isn't in any grimoire.
This girl...
Taichi!
Well, how's it going?
Terrible.
I can't manifest it at all.
How's it going for you?
Myura praised me!
I see.
Way to go.
Hey, don't give up!
You can do it, too!
Give it another go.
Go on.
Just a little more...
Taichi, focus!
Imagine your magic power manifesting as firmly as you can.
Your magic power is a mass.
A child?
I'm not imagining it.
I know I can hear that.
It's in the center of your body.
The center of my body?
Yes.
Now guide it.
Guide it...
I want to see you soon, Taichi.
Taichi, Taichi!
So that's your magic power?
Awesome! That's amazing!
Y-Yeah, it is.
By the way...
Hmm?
Did you hear a child... no, a voice just now?
No, I didn't hear anything.
Right...
Sorry for asking such a weird question.
What's this about a voice?
Well, I heard this voice coming from somewhere, and it helped me out.
It's not a ghost, is it?
Don't say something so ominous.
Anyway, I managed to manifest my magic power.
Now I can eat dinner!
Thank you!
Taichi, mind your manners!
Go easy on him today.
Using magic power consumes a lot of energy,
so he's going to be hungry.
It's good!
It's nice to see you eat like that.
I'm sorry he's so rude.
Don't worry.
By the way, Rin,
I heard from Myura that you made remarkable progress on your first day.
Huh?
No need to be modest, Rin.
Mastering a basic spell in a single day really is incredible.
Well, that's because my teacher...
I mean, you are so good at teaching me.
I didn't do anything special.
Then let's have Myura continue to train you, Rin.
Now, Taichi, as for you...
Tomorrow we work on your left hand.
Don't sound so pathetic. Keep it up until you can imbue your whole body with magic.
What?!
But I want to try using sorcery, too.
Absolutely not!
The first thing you need to learn is
how to enhance your body's functions with your own magic power.
Is that even possible?
Yes...
Though you'll constantly be expending magic power while you're enhanced.
But you have 120,000, so there's still plenty left even if you waste a bit, right?
At any rate, until we discern what your attribute is as a Unique Magician,
that's going to be your main means of fighting.
My means...
No incantations, just enhance and hit them!
It's simple and suits you well, right?
Huh?
What's with that reaction?
Get plenty to eat.
It's going to be even tougher tomorrow.
Can't sleep, Myura?
Yes.
What do you make of those two?
What do you mean?
Their preposterous magic power...
And managing to manifest it in a single day.
They're not normal people.
So what will you do?
What will I do?
Lemiya, you know something, don't you?
Well...
Let's just say I have a suspicion.
Things have been dangerous lately in this area.
I don't think the troubles of the capital would affect this frontier, but...
The guild master was saying something similar.
Either way, we'll get those two thoroughly trained in a month... no, three weeks.
At the very least, we'll train them enough
to stand on their own as adventurers by then.
In just three weeks?!
Yeah.
The mere existence of those two creates danger.
If word of their power gets out, then trouble will eventually find them.
Before that happens,
we need to teach them how to survive on their own, no matter what.
If we can't manage that, then Taichi and Rin will...
Honored goddess governing heaven and earth, I beg of you,
please grant them your blessing.
I'm facing a Fenwolf.
Physical Enhancement Level 10 or 15 should be enough.
Sorry.
That's one down.
Man, Rin's going awfully crazy over there.
Jeez, why are there so many?!
I heard that Horned Hares bred rapidly, but this is ridiculous!
And what kind of rabbits aren't herbivores?
Why are all the monsters in this world carnivores?
And they all attack humans, too.
Oh, well...
Earth!
Stone Bullet!
Water!
Shattering Water Bullet!
Wind!
Sword of the Lightning God!
Rin, that's brutal!
That was splendid.
How'd it go on your end?
Three Fenwolves down.
Oh? They're not doing too bad.
Splendid.
Especially Rin's wave of attacks using earth, water, and wind.
She hardly needs to chant anymore, either.
It's unusual for you to support someone so much.
It isn't like that.
Rin really is talented.
Not only does she absorb everything I teach her right away,
she can also suddenly adapt it to create her own unique magic, too.
In fact, I'm often learning more from her lately.
Hmm...
Like I said!
Now we've seen what they're capable of.
It's about time we...
Hmm?
Oh no! That's...
No, hold on.
Seriously?
An Obsidian Horse.
But unlike last time...
...I don't feel like we'll lose!
Whirlwind Slash!
Well, Taichi, Rin...
Congratulations. You passed your graduation exam.
Whoa! What an awesome feast!
Yeah.
After all, you won't be able to eat my cooking for a while after tonight.
Huh?
We're having you both set off for Azpire tomorrow.
Huh?
How long did you intend to eat here for free?
Hurry up and go be adventurers.
Oh, right.
Becoming adventurers was our original goal, wasn't it?
There's one more thing I need to teach you two.
Taichi, Rin...
I'm sure you've probably realized this, but you two are lost ones.
Lost ones?
I've only ever read about them before,
but occasionally there are those who come to our world from other worlds.
Something triggers the opening of a hole in space-time, which brings those people here.
Either that, or a sorcerer from this world summons them here from another world.
Judging by how you two act, I'm guessing you're probably the latter case.
Am I wrong?
Lemiya, did you...
You knew?
That we weren't from this world?
Hmph. Who do you think I am?
Between your abnormal magic power,
and the unfamiliar terms you both used on occasion...
It hit me right away.
It's because you two are both irregularities in this world
that Lemiya decided the best course of action was to train you here.
But...
Who summoned us here, and why?
You'll have to find the sorcerer who summoned you and ask them in person.
But summoning magic is extremely high level, though.
Not only that, but it's limited to sorcerers who can manipulate time and space.
Sorcerers that can control space-time
are a rarity among the already rare sorcerers.
Even with magic as plentiful as it is here,
who knows if there are more than a handful in all of Elistain.
No way...
Wait, that's actually pretty lucky for us, right?
Huh?
If they're that rare, then it should be easier to find the person, right?
Then once we hurry up and find that sorcerer,
we can ask why they summoned us,
clear that up, and then go home.
Right?
Well, that might be possible, at least.
All right!
Anyway, tonight we celebrate!
Eat and drink until you're full!
Yeah!
We're finally adventurers, huh?
Yeah.
What, not confident?
That's not it.
Thanks, Rin.
Huh?
For what you did when we were summoned.
Even in that nonsensical situation, you...
If I had come to this world all by myself,
I probably would have died.
That's not—
It is true.
I was able to stand up and face that Obsidian Horse because you were there.
Maybe I was really the one who didn't want to be left all alone.
Taichi...
Thanks, Rin.
Anyway, we can earn our keep now.
We've also learned a good deal about this world.
Yeah.
This might be pretty fun.
First we'll go adventuring, earn some money,
and establish ourselves.
Then we'll search for the sorcerer that summoned us,
and get them to return us to our world.
That sound good for our plan for now?
You make it sound so easy.
But we're agreed?
Agreed.
The power to destroy nations...
Do I really possess such power?
Taichi...
Who's there?
Why are you calling me?
We'll be able to meet. Soon.
Meet? What do you mean?
Look forward to it.
Hey, where are you?
