Simple attack magic?

It was a tempting offer.

Because of what happened with “Durkan” and “Zad,” I no longer wanted to remain as a healer who could not attack and was always content to hide in the back.

I nodded, blaming my ears, which easily succumb to Dabin's temptations.

“Well, if you wish, I can not only teach you a simple attack magic! I can teach you a powerful attack magic as well.”

When I saw Dabin laughing humanly, I no longer knew whether she was the fair heroine of the novel, or an evil black witch.

[Fireball]°

When Dabin uttered the incantation, a small, round ball of fire appeared above her palm.

“Whoa…!”

She turned to me and said:

"What do you think? It's not good to learn attack magic here, shall we go out and learn it?"

Hmm, should I learn a little magic in my down time?

I picked up Rupa and followed her to an empty space.

“The magic I am going to teach you is very simple and easy. Even the idiots of the Magic Tower do it easily.”

The magic tower's idiots...?

The moment I heard her words, I regretted following her so easily.

If a stranger heard it, he would think that the Magic Tower was a group of fools.

I was foolish because I thought that what you said was “easy” would really be easy.

When I was studying with Dabin, not a single thing she said was easy.

Everything was very difficult.

So, the simple attack magic you mean will certainly be a great magic that the magicians of the tower almost do.

“Ah... I understand.”

“Yes, it's really easy! Since it's your first time, it might not work, so I'll put a power-up circle for you!”

Dabin uttered the activation word, and a huge purple magic circle began to draw on the empty ground.

When it was over, the circle's radiance increased and its light became stronger, and I felt that the concentration of mana in the place had become dense.

"Waff! Waff!"

Roba barked lightly, jumped off my lap, and started wallowing on the magic circle.

“He's a hellhound, so he likes places with dense mana.”

Dabin said as she watched Roopa who was wagging his tail happily.

“So, let's get started?”

[Fireball]°

Dabin uttered the incantation lightly, and a small fireball appeared above her hand.

“This is the fireball, and it is the basis of elemental magic. You convert the mana into fire and then aim at the enemy, and this is how the mission ends.” You put more energy, the fire grew just like that.”

As soon as Dabin finished speaking, the small fireball began to grow until it became the size of my head.

Then Dabin shook her hand and the ball disappeared completely.

"First start by making a small size. Use the same transmutation method you do in healing magic."

I slowly closed my eyes and imagined the fireball.

Glowing red fire, a small, round ball.

And at the moment I transferred the mana as she said.

Bob

A small sound came out and a small flame appeared in front of me, but it went out while I was rejoicing in it.

“Oh?”

"Oh! Well done. You should stay focused on the mana flow. This time, let's put more energy into that volume."

I got Dabin's praise for the first time.

I felt happy, so I closed my eyes again and injected the mana.

A small fireball appeared above my hand again.

“Good. Now, try shooting this ball at the target.”

Dabin pulled out an old goal board from her space.

When I saw her putting the painting away, I decided to myself: After I learn fireball, I will ask her to teach me space magic.

No matter what you think, a strange pocket will be more useful in daily life than a fireball.

“Come on, imagine that you are shooting mana towards the board and release the ball.”

After Dabin's words, I fired the fireball towards the target.

But the small ball in my hand lost its power midway and vanished.

“Hmm, it seems like it was quite small. Imagine more fire.”

“Fireball!”

But the fire got only a little bigger, and then died down again near the target.

“Oh, the amount of mana in the ball is very small. Why are you afraid? Pump the mana forcefully. Think of the biggest fire you have ever seen in your life and pour out all the energy.”

Bigger fire.

A glowing fire.

I closed my eyes and imagined the biggest fire I had ever seen.

At that moment, I remembered the meteorite that blew up my house because of Dabin.

A huge fireball that ignites by contact with the atmosphere.

I imagined that huge meteorite and continued pumping mana.

“Don't worry, pump more! As hard as you can!”

Should I pump more? I started pumping energy as you requested.

Qoqoqoqo!

Suddenly, the quiet ground began to shake madly.

I opened my eyes in horror, and found that the sky, which was bright, was covered with black clouds.

As for Roba, he was lying on the ground, trembling in fear.

“What…what did you just do?”

Dabin asked me with a pale face.

She was so confused.

Did I do something wrong? I answered nervously:

“You asked me to imagine the biggest fire I had ever seen... so I imagined the meteorite that blew up my house.”

"Oh my God... You summoned a meteorite without a spell? Are you a dragon? I'll definitely go crazy. Cancel it! Cancel it now!"

“Cancel...? How do I cancel it?”

“Just stop pumping mana!”

Dabin screamed with a terrifying face, but I didn't understand what she meant.

Is it possible to cancel magic that has not yet cast its spell? My voice began to shake with fear:

"How? How do I stop pumping mana?"

“Oh! If we don’t cancel it here, the meteor will fall and we will all die!”

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to block the flow of mana, but the energy actually used did not work for me.

Dabin screamed desperately:

“Ahhh!”

Dabin scratched her head frantically, then sighed and began to recite an incantation in a low voice.

The mana enhancing circle disappeared, and a huge white circle appeared that began to shine intensely.

“Are...will we be okay?”

But contrary to my expectations, a flaming meteor began to appear in the sky.

“Dabin, am I going to die here?”

Tears fell from my eyes automatically.

“You crazy person! Don’t say such bad things.”

She answered dryly, then closed her eyes and began to chant an incantation.

But the meteorite came closer, and I was no longer able to open my eyes because of the heat and strong light.

And at that moment.

“Whoa, I was curious to know who would have the audacity to shoot a meteor at Hilderius' house. I came to see an interesting sight.”

I turned to see a man wearing a long robe standing next to Dabin.

Light violet hair, transparent and pure skin like an elf, and eyes the color of the clear sky.

This tall, handsome man winked at me when his eyes met mine.

Who is this extremely beautiful man who looks like the hero of a movie?

The man looked at Dabin who was chanting the incantation, then smiled broadly and extended his hand toward the meteorite.

“Miss, you owe me a favor today.”

The man started chanting mysterious incantations in a calm voice.

With each word, white threads began to appear on the surface of the meteorite.

Each string was magic letters.

Qoqoqoqo!

The ground began to shake violently as the meteorite approached.

When a strong wind blew, the man closed his eyes and began to slowly close his fist.

The color of the magic letters turned blue, and the meteorite began to become transparent, and when he closed his fist, the meteorite disappeared completely.

The man opened his eyes, and the earth stopped shaking, and the clouds disappeared, and the sun shone on my face again.

“I…I survived.”

My strength collapsed and I sat on the ground out of extreme tension.

"Oh Iotias! Why have you come here? What a favor this is! I would have solved the matter alone!"

Dabin shouted at the man.

Iotias.

I looked again at the man's robe and saw the star emblem, which is the symbol of the Magic Tower.

A beautiful, calm man smiles at Dabin, who screams loudly.

A gentle man with his beloved, but in reality he is obsessed and crazy.

I knew very well who he was.

He is the hero of this novel, who will enter into a marriage of convenience with Dabin and then fall in love with her.

He is the master of the magic tower, Iotias.

How much I supported this duo before I moved on to the novel! But this will remain an eternal secret.

But the reality...

“I have warned you not to enter Hilderius Palace without permission.”

“If I had not come, the palace would have completely disappeared. I have recorded everything in the recording stone. This is a really big favor.”

Iotias took out a small violet jewel from his robe.

"Ahhh! Iotias, you motherfucker!"

Dabin shouted, pulling her hair angrily.

“Huh...what do you want?”

She sighed after crying for a while, then looked at him coldly.

“Ha ha ha, so you admit it? I was worried about the magic stone taxes, but thanks to you, things will go easily.”

Is this the yarn I've been waiting for?
