After leaving Franphilia's mansion, Ataru and Caro returned to the inn and continued their training to create water balls.

 

“Hmmm, I can't help but think they'll be huge.
……”

 

“It's the opposite for me, my balls are too small.
……”

 

But the solution was not so easy to find.

 

They practiced until late, but Caro almost ran out of magic power first, so she had to go to bed first.
She seemed to be lingering until she was about to fall asleep, but Ataru reminded her to close her eyes and she quickly fell asleep going into a deep sleep.

 

After confirming that she had fallen asleep, Ataru continued his training alone until late, as if to say, “Not yet”.

 

The next morning, Ataru simply couldn't wake up from lack of sleep and Caro couldn't wake up from exhaustion of magic power, and when they finally woke up, it was just before noon.
After checking the time, Caro jumped up in a panic and ran into Ataru's room.

 

“Ataru-sama, I'm sorry! I overslept, too!

 

“You too! Me too, let's get ready and have dinner!”

 

When she went to apologize for oversleeping, Ataru had just woken up in a hurry and was getting dressed, and in response, Caro also rushed back to her room to get ready.

 

They ate lunch, which served as breakfast in the inn's dining room, and hurried to Franphilia's mansion.

 

Caro had learned the way after being shown around yesterday, and so they were able to get there without getting lost.
Thanks to their haste to get ready, they managed to arrive just in time for their appointment.


 

“We arrived at the same time as yesterday.
Thanks to Caro for remembering the way.”

 

“He showed us the way yesterday, so…”

 

Caro twisted around happily at the praise, checking the features of the surrounding buildings and remembering the route.

 

“I didn't remember any of this.”

 

Ataru said with a mischievous smile, and just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door naturally opened from inside.

 

“I've been waiting for you.
Please come in, both of you.”

 

It seemed that Sebeus had sensed that they had arrived and had come out to greet them.

 

“Pleasure to work with you.”

 

They both bowed to Sebeus in unison.
It was a gesture of respect for his new role as their teacher.

 

“Yes, thank you.”

 

Sebeus, pleased with their attitude, replied with a soft smile.

 

As they headed to the backyard, Sebeus began to explain about today's training.

 

“Ataru-sama, please train in the same fine control of magic power as yesterday.
If you get bored in the middle of the training, we will try to incorporate other training as well.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Ataru nodded his head in understanding and headed to the already prepared tub to begin the training immediately.

 

“Well, Caro-sama, ……
is a little early to be doing the same training as Ataru-sama.
When I saw you training with Franphilia-sama yesterday, my impression was that Caro-sama had difficulty in releasing magic power.”

 

Caro's eyes widened when she heard this, and her shoulders slumped.
She was shocked because she thought things were going well little by little.

 

“Don't be so downhearted, Caro-sama.
I just want to make sure that the two of you have the proper training.
Once the issue with the release part is resolved, we can move on to the next phase.”

 

Sebeus bent down to meet Caro's eyes and tried to cheer her up by saying so.
Caro, noticing his concern, looks up timidly.

 

“……
Yes, thank you.”

Caro was determined to catch up with Ataru as soon as possible, and now she is trying to improve her skills by working hard on the training in front of her.

 

“Then let's go over the details of Caro-sama's training.
Yesterday, you used wind magic with your wand.
Now, let's try it without the wand.
The goal is to hit the target with the same power as yesterday.”

 

Caro thought that since she had already succeeded once, it should not be too difficult.

 

“Caro-sama, you might think ……
it's rather easy, don't you?”

 

With a chuckle, Sebeus read Caro's expression and guessed what was on her mind.

 

“Umm, did I get caught?”

 

Caro was upset because it was exactly what she had been thinking about, making her body twitch.
She wondered if it was on her face and touched her cheek.

 

“Yes, that's it.
The reason you think so is because the magic you performed yesterday was easy to perform.
But don't forget that it was with the support of your wand that you were able to do that.”

 

He smiled like a gentleman, but pointed out seriously, and Caro nodded with a serious expression.
Sebeus was perfect for the role of her teacher, as he spoke well without spoiling her.

 

“Let's try it out first.
I've prepared the same target as yesterday, so please use that one.”

 

Caro, with her eyes on the target as instructed, moved to the same standing position as yesterday, straightened her hand and released her magic.

 

“Fly Arrow of Wind!”

 

However, although her hand glowed, the magic did not work.
As Caro was confused by the fact that the magic did not work, the light in her hand eventually disappeared.

 

“Oh, what? That's strange …….”

 

With a troubled expression on her face, Caro checked the back and front of her hand and tilted her head.

 

“it seems difficult to activate it if you release it in the same way as yesterday.
In the case of Ataru-sama, he has a large amount of magic power, and because he originally had an understanding of the mechanism of magic power, he can release it smoothly.”

 

When Caro heard this, she had a difficult look on her face.
She didn't know what to do.

 

“Caro-sama is not as powerful as Ataru-sama, but I think she has a fairly large amount of magic power.
So, the first thing to do is to be aware that the magic power is flowing through your body.”

 

“Oh, um, can't I just use my ……
wand?”

 

She wanted to use her wand to shoot magic in order to regain her senses from yesterday.
That was Caro's true intention.

 

“It's not a bad idea, but I think it's better to do this training now.
Yesterday, when you used your wand to cast a spell, you were able to visualize the spell being cast.
If you can recreate it only with your own body, you can expect even better results when you use the wand.”

 

Caro nodded her head as she listened to Sebeus' careful explanation of how she felt, but at the same time she felt ashamed of herself for trying to rely on the wand so easily.
She flattened her long ears to hide the reddening of her cheeks.

 

“Caro-sama, I understand that you are happy to be able to use magic after not being able to, so you don't have to feel ashamed about it.
If you can figure out how to work with that, you can certainly grow.”

 

The smiling Sebeus read her mind again, but she was more than happy to hear him speak to her so gently.

 

“I'll do my best!”

 

Sabes gently called out to Caro as she took her position, fired up to activate the magic again.

 

“The first thing you need to do is imagine the magic flowing through your body.”

 

First, visualize the magic flowing through your body.
When she closed her eyes, she could faintly feel the magical power inside her body.

 

At first, it was just a vague image of something, but gradually it turned into a clear image.

 

“Then visualize the magic gathering in your hand.”

 

Sebeus instructed Caro to do so.
She did as she was told.
She then felt the magic power in her body flowing smoothly towards her hands.

 

“You should be able to see that it's gathering in your hands.”

 

“Then, imagine that the magic power is in the shape of the wind arrow you released yesterday.”

 

She did as she was told.
In front of her hand, a stronger light than before is forming.
It was gradually changing into the shape of an arrow.

 

I think I can do it! Just as I thought that, Caro unleashed her magic.

 

“Fly Arrow of Wind!”

 

The same level of magic that she had used with her wand flew towards the target, and finally, it grazed the target and disappeared.
A gust of wind came up and softly swept Caro's hair as if caressing it.

 

“I did it!

 

Impressed that her magic had worked, Caro turned around and reported to Sebeus with a smile as big as a blooming flower.
