The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

“Not enough. It’s all not enough.”

It was a night about a week after Kunon’s ambition to “gain visibility” was born.

Now that I’ve gotten used to magic and magic power, I think there are too many things I lack.

“… What? You’re not receiving enough love from me?”

The maidservant is saying something, but I don’t care.

“I think you give enough love …….”

Shucks, I accidentally responded.

–While consciously checking the ingredients in the sandwich he was eating for dinner at ……, Kunon reflected on his day.

He studied in the morning and practiced magic independently in the afternoon.

For the past week, this cycle has been the same. I don’t even want to change it.

No progress has been made yet, but still.

“I’m glad. I’m glad. It’s been worth all the love I’ve been lavishing on you.”

“No, Iko you’re fine.”

“‘If you say this isn’t enough, we’ll have to cuddle! Do you want me to sleep with you?”

“I see. I don’t want it.”

Aside from the maidservants, I think my father, mother, and brother love me.

I’m sure the family couldn’t stand the sight of Kunon looking backward because they loved him so much and Kunon was almost overwhelmed with apologies.

As a result, he was given a room with few steps and is now living with a maidservant away from his family.

This was the environment Kunon had asked for.

It’s an environment that Kunon asked for, because it would make him feel uncomfortable if he saw them, and it would make him sigh. It is not Kunon’s intention to do so.

Even in this situation, he still comes to see me once in a while, so I think he loves me.

–For the sake of my family, I definitely want to get a vision. I don’t want them to have to worry about me anymore.

“I don’t think I have enough knowledge or magic, especially physical strength.”

I’m fainting every day.

I don’t know if it’s a lack of magic or a lack of physical strength. …… I’m sure it’s both.

“You can’t blame yourself for that, can you?Kunon you’re is only seven years old. Your mind and body will grow from now on.”

I think Iko is right.

But that’s too late. It is too late.

If it is possible, I would like to have a vision right now.

I can’t wait for my mind and body to grow.

“But, yes, you’re right. Kunon-sama is a small eater and maybe a little small for someone its age.”

“I see,” Kunon nodded.

“I don’t have enough physical strength either.

I didn’t think that the body was lacking as well, but I know how to solve it.

I just have to eat. A lot more.

“And you need to work out a little, right?

Because of my blindness, I rarely move my body.If I move too much, I’ll either bump or fall.

As a result, I am so weak that I get out of breath with just a little movement.

Iko is not out of breath even when she walks with a fallen Kunon in her arms.

“Yes…… I guess You might want to build up your muscles just a little bit more.”

I’m not blind, but that doesn’t mean I’m in bad shape. Up until now, I didn’t even care about living, which was fine.

But that’s not good enough now.

I’ve learned in the past week.

In the end, it’s all about the body when it comes to handling magic and using magic. It’s all about physical strength.

You can’t talk about it if you’re gasping for breath after just a couple of uses of magic.

You need a minimum level of physical strength to train.

If you don’t, it’s not efficient.

–There is a famous story of a dark lord in the history of some country who made all kinds of improvements and political corruption at the same time, and collapsed without being able to do anything about it.

In short, he tried to do too many things at once and couldn’t do them.

To avoid such a situation, I have set a direction and do what I can, one thing at a time, so that I do not waver.

I am sure that this will be the best shortcut in the end.

The first is magic.

This should be the first priority to master.

The second is physical training.

I have to build a body in order to use magic.

When you run out of magic, you train your body, and when your body is tired, you train your magic.

In theory, it should work like that.

–Kunon thought, “This is it. The direction was set.

“Ico, I want you to increase the amount of food I eat.”

“I understand.”

“I also want to work out, what would you suggest?”

The first thing that comes to mind is walking or running, but …… Kunon can’t do that. He’ll probably just fall down and get hurt.

Iko, who has seen me fall many times in front of her, understands without saying anything.

“Hmmm. Wouldn’t it be better if you practice swings, so you wouldn’t have to move from the   spot?”

“Swinging? Like with a sword?”

“Yes.”

“Can you teach me how to do that?”

I think I understand the theory, but I’ve never seen a sword or a swing before.

It’s better to ask for help than to do it on your own.

“Oh, no. I don’t know anything about martial arts. –Why don’t you ask your father for advice?I’m sure even a gatekeeper can teach you how to swing.”

“Right. Then can I ask him?”

“I understand. I’ll ask him tonight …… Oh, the Master and the Mistress aren’t here tonight, are they? I’ll talk to Mr.Balen tomorrow.”

Balen is the steward of the Gurion family.

If the parents are absent, Balen is in charge of running the house in the meantime.

“Yes, please.”

Kunon now had more work to do.

However, this was also something to look forward to.

There must be a close relationship between training magic and training the body.

No matter what the difficulty, Kunon is willing to work hard for the sake of visibility.

There is no other reason to live at this point.

The next day.

In the afternoon, while I was sweating out my magic training, an unknown footstep came.

“Nice to meet you, Kunon. I’m Ouro Tauro, former master of the North-Tiger kendo technique.”

From the croaky voice, it was a very old man.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

“Ouro …… are you Master Ouro?”

That was the name of my brother’s swordsmanship teacher, Master Ouro.

“Yes, it is, Ouro. I heard you, Kunon asked me to teach you how to swing swords. That’s why I’m here.”

“Are you sure? The famous Master Ouro is teaching me……, and as you can see, I’m blind, so I can’t do any real sword fighting…….”

The old swordsman laughed, though a little of Kunon’s old reluctance came out.

“Hmmm. Swordsmanship is, by nature, not a proper art. It’s a skill that weak people learn to become strong.

In the natural world, it is an unnatural act that transforms the weak into the strong. Can you call that proper now?”

I don’t really understand that kind of thing, so why don’t you just teach me right away, Kunon thought.
