Dear Paul-sama,
It has been one and a half years.
I will be 20 soon, and my sisters will be turning 14.
I’m still working for Orsted while continuously training.
Orsted is knowledgeable, but it doesn’t appear that he is good at teaching others.
Additionally, because he rarely uses magic, there is no demonstration.
He would teach chants and give pointers, but probably because he is a genius, misunderstandings often happen.
Maybe I'm just a bad student.
I only get about a tenth of what's taught.
Owing to the memories remaining from my previous life, I could understand the principles and reach [Saint] class in the early years, but to surpass the walls of [King] class, that is not enough...
For example, the Fire Saint Magic 『Flash Flame [Flashover]』 is a way to make the flame spread in a vast area instantly.
By using light to generate heat in the air, like Vegeta[1], but somehow it looks different. (!)
Once I have used a magic with an incantation, I can immediately use the voiceless version of it, which puzzles Orsted.
Orsted does not only teach me about magic, but also other things, such as how to fight other magicians.
Afterwards, he taught me numerous techniques from the Sword God Style, like what to be careful of and what to counter with.
A magician that specializes in fire magic when mixed in with a swordsman is very hard to defend against.
Therefore, many groups of magicians and swordsmen use this tactic a lot, so we must respond accordingly.
Simple PvP tactics.
As one who boasted high offensive ability due to having numerous offensive magics and a foresight eye, I was told that I could reduce the number of opponents by throwing them into confusion and then dealing fatal blows when facing them one by one.
It's not much different from what I had been doing in the past, but somehow, the result is different when I do it consciously.
Training with Eris and Orsted, as well as occasionally teaching Sylphy, Norn, and Aisha, has had some beneficial effects.
Through continuous training, I have attained:
[Saint]-class Fire and Wind magic
[Saint]-class Healing and Detoxification magic
[Intermediate]-class God Barrier magic
It’s very good progress for only a year.
I can see that I have been fooling around too much in the past.[2]
However, despite my other gains, drawing a summoning magic circle is still quite challenging for me, and I can't draw it very well.
I can’t be playing around now if I want to master so many arts.
Anyway, I have grown a little stronger.
Training with Orsted has also helped me do his jobs.
After the uproar in the Asura Kingdom, there weren't many difficult jobs to handle.
For example, helping an adventurer that was trapped inside a labyrinth,
Or helping a merchant stranded inside a forest about to become a demon's meal,
Or going to a slave market, purchasing a slave boy, and selling him somewhere else.
Well, these were odd jobs; my work is mainly helping other people. I also enjoy it.
Basically, those who we help now will become useful to Orsted in the future.
For example, we helped a young female dwarf thief called Tal Qi the other day.
She wasn't important, but her son would become the assassins guild leader in the future.
He would also become a man that would assassinate a certain person, but if that dwarf girl is killed, it will become Orsted's loss.
