“I look forward to the magic practice, Yuna-san.” (Noa)
“I’m really self-taught, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to teach you well.” (Yuna)
“As father said, we’ll just get another teacher then.” (Noa) 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Well, if I teach her and she can’t learn magic, then someone else takes over and she can use magic, I would be labeled incompetent as a teacher.
“I envy you, Noa-oneesama and Fina-chan.” (Misa)
“Yeah, that’s not fair.” (Shuri)
Misa and Shuri, who cannot be taught magic, were envious, but there was nothing I could do.
“Magic is for people with a lot of magic power, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes, we all have magic powers, big or small. But to use magic, one must have a lot of it.” (Noa)
Everyone has enough magic power to light up a magic stone.
But it means you need a lot of magic power to change mana into water or fire.
I remember the battle at the time of the Kraken. I made a bear big stone statue to keep the Kraken from escaping, and it took all my magic power at once. Then, a series of fire bear magic attacks. Both were created from magic power.
“But how do you know if you can use magic?” (Yuna)
“You’ll never know until you try.” (Noa)
“Do you have any magical tools that, when you touch crystals or something, tell you the capacity of your magic?” (Yuna)
Often in generic template settings, there would be magical tools that examine magical power and attributes, then a blinding light would glow when the amount of magical power was high, and the magical tool that measures magical power would then break. Or the light would shine in seven different colors.
But Noa’s response was.
“No. I’ve never heard of such a convenient magic tool. You won’t know if you can use magic until you try it.” (Noa)
“I see. Well, then, I guess we won’t know if it really works magic until you try it.” (Yuna)
“Yes. So I’m a little nervous.” (Noa)
“But if parents can use magic, so can their children, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes. If the parents can use magic, it’s common for their children to be able to do so, but that’s not always the case. Some children can’t use it, so you’ll never really know.” (Noa)
Noa looked worried.
“Eleanora-san can use it, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes, and so does my father. Basically, nobles are supposed to marry someone who has enough magical power to use magic for their protection. And to prevent their own children from dying because they cannot use magic to protect themselves.” (Noa)
Yeah, I guess that’s possible with the aristocrats. As the means of passing down a good or strong bloodline.
“Then Misa’s parents too?” (Yuna)
“Yes, they can use it as well.” (Misa)
Misa answered my questions. I asked the same question to Fina.
“Tirumina-san was able to use it, wasn’t she? What about…” (Yuna)
I was about to ask her about her father but stopped mid-sentence. Fina’s biological father was already dead. I knew I shouldn’t ask.
“Yes, Mom seems to be able to use magic.” (Fina)
“Did she use it before?” (Yuna)
“I’ve never seen her use it.” (Fina)
“And Shuri?” (Yuna)
“Un, never.” (Shuri)
Tirumina-san was sick and may not have had the opportunity to use her magic in front of Fina and Shuri.
“But Dad once told me that Mom used magic to defeat monsters.” (Fina)
Did Gentz-san tell her about that?
“That’s why I might be able to use it. But even if I can’t, it’s not your fault, Yuna-oneesan, so please don’t worry about it.” (Fina)
If possible, I would like them both to be able to use magic.
“I’m not familiar with it, but can parents who are good at certain magic pass down the traits to their children?” (Yuna)
In many mangas and novels, the parents who were good at certain magic, and their children could inherit the same talent in utilizing the same magic.
“It’s been said that it doesn’t matter basically, but it seems that children often become good at the magic that their parents can use.” (Noa)
“Is that so?” (Yuna)
“It’s probably because children grow up watching their parents’ magic, so it’s easier for them to visualize the magic of that attribute.” (Noa)
Indeed, if you grow up watching your parents use their magic from a young age, it may be imprinted in your mind.
“Noa, you know quite a lot.” (Yuna)
“Or rather, Yuna-san, how come someone like you who can use magic, doesn’t know?” (Noa)
“That’s what I’ve been telling you, I don’t know that kind of thing because I learned magic by myself.” (Yuna)
After all, I could only use magic the way I had learned to do it in games. I don’t know those details.
“Ano, do I have to study those things too?” (Fina)
Fina looks uneasy.
“I’m sure you’ll be fine. I don’t know if I can do magic myself either.” (Noa)
“I don’t know anything about magic, but I can use it, so I think it’ll be fine.” (Yuna)
I believe that what was needed for magic would be magical power and strong imagery.
“Fina. Speaking of which, what medium do you use for your magic?” (Yuna)
Noa has a pendant from Eleanora-san. But Fina doesn’t have any.
“Mom said she would lend me the ones she used in the past, so it’s okay.” (Fina)
“I see. Then, when you learn to use magic, shall I buy one for you as a birthday present?” (Yuna)
Fina shakes her head at my words.
“Yuna-oneesan, you already gave me a ticket to be with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. So it’s okay.” (Fina)
Fina said so, but if she could use magic, I would give one to her as a gift.

Author’s Note:
I wanted to include some bear elements, but it turned out to be a talk about magic.
Next time we’ll have a little more of the bear elements…….
My apologies.
I have to recheck (revise) the book and might be a little late in posting. Thank you for understanding.
I will also take a break from replying to feedback for a while. I apologize for that.
※ As always, thank you to everyone who has always reported typos. I will not be able to reply, so I’ll leave this here.
