In the midst of the darkness, I walked in search for the inn.
In the middle of it, a window of some house suddenly caught my eye. The window illuminated by the moonlight was vividly reflecting the outside scenery.
And there.
Was the appearance of me with a face brimming with smile.
Part 5
Early morning of the next day.
I, who woke up at the cheap inn that I found after walking about, quickly changed into the Witch-like outfit and went outside.
I mounted on my broom in front of the inn's exit and ascended into the sky. My direction was, of course, the Royal Magic Academy. I flew while exchanging light greetings with the young men who dropped newspapers in houses from morning, and the pair who acted as the carriage and flew. The morning wind was chilly and my ...
Thanks to the large tower being a landmark, I was able to arrive at once without losing my way.
As I overlooked the academy from the sky above, I saw the shapes of people scattered throughout the its grounds──they were students.
Their number was approximately twenty. It was practically the same number as the people who chased me yesterday.
There was also the shape of Fran-sensei among them.
I got off the broom and stood on the ground beside her. The hard sensation of the ground traveled through both legs.
"Oh, good morning. You are quite early. Although I don’t think I have specified the exact time."
Fran-sensei gave me a smile.
"I came early because you didn’t specify the time."
"Oh my. Are you blaming me?"
"No no. I just want you to praise me."
"You are great, great."
"Why yes, thank you."
"However, with this we can start earlier than usual──"
Then Sensei clapped her hands twice.
With that, the students hurriedly finished the Magic practices and gathered. Moreover, with full speed. Perhaps because of hurrying, there were also students who threw the water that had been used for training on the ground.
"Everyone, this is the Witch of Ashes, Elaina. You meet her yesterday so you should know her, right?"
Fran-sensei introduced me while facing the gathered up students.
I swiftly bowed, "Ah, hello," and said just that.
"I was thinking of letting her act as a guest lecturer today. Although her age is near yours, she's a splendid Witch. I hope you don't look down on her."
Then, after confirming that students have nodded few times,
"Are there any questions for her?"
She addressed them.
The one who quickly raised his hand was a bright-looking, refreshing young man.
"Me mee! Boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Whoops, I made a mistake. He was a slow-witted, impure young man.
"I don't. I'm a traveler after all."
"Please only questions related to Magic," Fran-sensei rounded off with a clap. "Any others?"
Next one to raise hand was a timid-looking girl. If I recall correctly, I think it was the girl from the first pair that confronted me.
She hesitantly looked at me and asked.
"Umm...... What's your specialty Magic......?"
I'm glad it was a normal question. "I don't really have a particular specialty. Attack Magic, Manipulation Magic, Transformation Magic, and everything else, I can use it to some extent."
"Anything else?"
Someone raised their hand.
"Which was your favorite from the countries you have visited so far?"
"This country."
"Oh, is that a flattery?" Fran-sensei interrupted.
Then someone raised their hand once more.
One after another, without ceasing.
"What was it that made you decide to be a witch?"
"I read the novel called "Nike's Tales of Adventure"......that would be my biggest reason."
"What's Elaina-san's country of origin?"
"It's a far, distant border country called the Peaceful Country of Robetta."
"Please teach me the secrets to Magic!"
"It's only about putting effort."
"Is being a traveler fun?"
"Yes, amazingly so."
"Me mee! How about panties? What's the color of your pan──"
Fran-sensei physically put an end to the slow-witted boy's question time.
The morning extracurricular lesson went smoothly.
However, I didn't know how to guide the students at all, so for the time being, I looked at what kind of teaching Fran-sensei was doing.
She was:
"Oh my. Your Magic flow is disordered. Calm your mind some more, stabilize your Magic Power."
"You released too much Magic Power. Suppress it some more."
"Hey. You shouldn't play with a sword-shaped water."
......Like that, she was walking among the students one by one and giving them proper guidance.
Fumu fumu, I see.
Then, let's mimic her actions──I walked between the students at a slow pace.
It seems that Magic control training is ongoing. Just like before, the students were moving the water that was inside the bottle. It's just a basic practice, but freely moving objects like this is the first step to improving your Magic ability.
While I was walking around in proper manner,
"Ah, Elaina-sensei. I can't turn water into a perfect sphere, what should I do?"
Asked the male student.
Although the water was floating on the tip of the staff he held in hand, the water was swaying around as if it was boiling.
I see, I see.
"You seem to have added a useless amount of Magic. Remove some more power."
Following that:
With a splash, a puddle of water appeared under the male student's feet.
"......Looks like suppressing it didn't go too well."
"You suppressed it to much."
Too bad.
As I gave a compassionate look at the dejected male student, "U-Um......" I head a small voice that lacked self-confidence from behind.
Looking back, it was the hesitant girl.
"Hm? What's wrong? I bent my head in wonder.
"Ah, yes...... Um, there's something I want you to teach me......"
"Sure. What is it?"
After pausing for a little,
"Um, my water manipulation never goes well...... I can just barely elevate it....... what should I do?"
She said while looking down.
Fumu Fumu.
"Let me see it for a bit."
"Eh? Ah, yes......"
She clasped the staff with both hands and sent Magic Power towards the bottle with water.
The bottle moved in about ten odd seconds after that.
At first whole bottle had parted from earth, but then, as if remembering it, only the water was raised after it. Then, the lump of water raised up to her height and stopped.
──When I thought so, it suddenly splashed into the ground.
"......What should I do?"
She teared up.
The situation appeared to be grave.
"It seems you haven't got the grasp of it yet──I think it would be better if you work on getting the water out of the bottle for start."
"After taking the water out of the bottle, quickly return it back, then take it out once more. If you continuously repeat this process, I think you will get used to it to a certain extent. Carefully take your time, find the best way to do it for yourself. That's the biggest shortcut. Do your best."
That was the the most what I could give as advice.
As I saw her running off to fetch the water, I once again continued walking.
Thereupon, someone called me from behind.
