Chapter 26: Butler Dibble is Astonished
(What a sense and owner of 'sight' this person has... Is he not a manifestation of talent?!)
While teaching magic to Rest, the butler serving the Marquis Rosemary household, Dible marveled inwardly.
In front of Dibble’s gaze, Rest is trying out the magic he just taught.
(Ever since the mock battle in front of the master, I thought he was a young man with potential. I knew he was promising. However... to this extent?)
"Um... is this okay? Am I doing it right?"
"...Yes, there's no problem. You're activating it properly."
"Thank you! I'll try it again, so please watch!"

It has been an hour since they started personal combat training for Rest.
After lecturing on the essentials of when a magician fights, scolding him, and then imparting magic useful for fighting against humans, they began training.
To be honest, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Even if he is a talented magician, it usually takes about a week to acquire new magic.
For advanced magic, it's not uncommon for it to take several months to years.
Therefore, magicians often choose to devote themselves to learning magic of their preferred attribute.
(But... how is this person able to learn magic with just one look...!?)
"Now that’s fine..."
Rest activates the newly learned magic.
He disappears with the magic of "Invisibility."
A magic often favored by spies and assassins. Many court magicians avoid learning it, dismissing it as "the magic of lowly thieves," but it is very useful in personal combat.
Ad
In addition to this magic, Rest has already mastered "Acceleration," "Smoke Screen," "Darkness," and "Amplification."
He remembers each of these spells after just one look, and Dibble can barely contain his expression.
(I must not let this person escape... I must somehow bring him into the Rosemary Marquis household...!)
Since the simulated battle, Dibble had been in favor of Rest becoming the son-in-law of the Marquis.
He thought of him as a talented young man and wanted him to be bound to the young ladies he dotes on like a grandchild.
However, seeing Rest's true strength changed his mind.
Rest was not just "a talent that would be welcome in the Rosemary Marquis household," he was "an absolutely indispensable talent" that must be brought in at any cost.
"Dibble-sensei, what should I do next?"
"Uh... well..."
Dibble ponders.
Ad
With such good memory, the magic he can teach will disappear in no time.
That's fine in itself... but there was something else that caught his attention.
(Come to think of it... I've let him use magic many times since earlier, but there's no sign of his magic power decreasing. I wonder how much magic power he has. Should I have it measured beforehand?)
"Please use the 'Body Strengthening' magic. Make it as strong as possible."
"Like this?"
Rest activates "Body Strengthening" as instructed.
You can understand by looking at what should be seen... something like a magical membrane coats Rest's body.
"In personal combat, 'Body Strengthening' is not only fundamental but also a secret technique. To prevent the magic from being dispelled, try to maintain that state for as long as possible."
"So, it means not to let my concentration waver, right? Understood, sensei!"
While maintaining the activation of "Body Strengthening," Rest assumes a fighting stance with clenched fists.
(A flawless and beautiful strengthening magic. Even novice magicians can maintain 'Body Strengthening' for less than five minutes. Among court magicians, few can sustain it for more than thirty minutes... Well, let's see how long he can maintain his magic power and concentration.)
Dible observes Rest, who continues to use magic.
The result is... Rest dispels "Body Strengthening" after about an hour. Moreover, it's not because of running out of magic power but because he lost concentration.
Rest's magic power doesn't seem to have decreased at all, and instead of marveling, Dibble finds himself in a state of utter disbelief, as if his very core has been extracted.
