– Hwareuk, Hwareuk!

I stared blankly at the eight burning flames.

‘Why couldn’t I think of a method like that?’

Until now, when using magic, you had to cancel the previous magic and use it again.

That’s why I couldn’t even try something like that.

My gaze, which was looking at the flames, turns to my right hand.

-Just right!

A flame rose.

A shabby flame compared to the flame lit by my father in front of me.

“What!.. How now..”

And without erasing the flame, he snapped his fingers again.

-Just right!

The amount of magic proliferated increases with intermediate level magic proficiency.

(Currently up to 2 are possible.)

“Ha.. Haha..”

It’s so simple… I never even thought of it until now… I’m so stupid…

[Tiring. Activation of intermediate magic detected. The possibility of double chanting has been opened.]

When I read the entire status window, one phrase appeared.

‘The possibility of double chanting has been opened… It was closed until now…’

I read a paper that said there were stages to magic, but there was no exact basis.

But now I think I can trust the paper.

Above all, because accurate evidence is spread out before my eyes.

And I think I understand why my father trained me in low-level magic first.

In order to open a new path later, you will need proficiency in low-level magic, and it will be difficult to raise proficiency in low-level magic at that time.

But first of all, we should celebrate now.

In front of me, I see two fireworks that I created.

Two fireballs, slightly larger than those from low-level magic, reaching the size of a head.

“.. Son.. First of all, congratulations..”

“Thank you, father..?”

‘I’m congratulating you…?’

“How did you do it?”

“Yes? What..”

“I haven’t even taught you the chant yet… No, I haven’t even memorized the chant, so how can I use magic..”

“Ah..”

It seems that my chanting without a trace has piqued my father’s curiosity.

‘This is a bit of a big deal…’

My father’s curiosity is extremely long and he only thinks about it until it is satisfied.

Sure enough, my father stayed with me until the sun set today and asked me questions.

As if that wasn’t enough, he was going to ask me again tomorrow, but he knew it was a test so he held back…

***

“It’s tomorrow.”

“So..”

Academy entrance exam for which I had been preparing for 3 months.

The first written test of the test starts tomorrow.

Rather than taking a written exam at the academy, you will receive the correct answers during a practical exam.

I heard that this is only done at Agrippina Academy and that the written test questions will be sent around lunchtime tomorrow.

They said it didn’t matter if I took the written test with other people, so I was able to tell the difficulty level of the questions without even looking at them.

“Ha… I’m a little worried…”

“Don’t worry. You can do it.”

Bea spoke with a confident voice because she had seen me studying all this time.

I also think that way and feel confident, but I can’t help but feel a little nervous.

“Well, you’re going to take the test with me anyway, so if you fail, I can study at the same time.”

“.. Well, if I’m with you, I can’t be separated.”

Bea put in a tremendous effort while I was unconscious.

Although he didn’t say anything specifically, he was able to figure it out when he thought about what his father and mother had said.

The only day off was the day I fainted.

It is said that he was crying all day long where I was.

Thinking that I became like that because of him.

‘If that’s the case… I guess I had no choice but to become a yandere…’

Anyway, speaking of Bea… Oh, by the way, this person says Bea is a banned language…

“Hey, Bea..?”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Bea was lying next to me, hugging my right arm and looking up at me. I couldn’t bear to ask her what I originally wanted to ask her, so I changed the subject.

“No.. I love it so much..”

“Heehee.. Really?”

Bea seemed to like what he said and came closer.

Bea’s hands, which were now clasped together, were as soft as when she was young, despite her long training.

Even if calluses form, they will all be healed by the power of immortality.

I was worried that it would cause more pain when using the sword, but I was glad to hear that there was no such thing.

After a while, Bea looked at me a little nervous.

While I was watching to see why, he closed his eyes and opened them again as if he was making a resolution.

“Hey.. Vera..”

“Huh?”

But just as Bea’s eyes are shaking, that promise is also shaking.

I wondered what he wanted to say that made Bea so shaken, but he waited until she spoke.

Because Bea seemed to want that too.

“Can I kiss that.. height..?”

“…”

Bea, whom I’ve known for 9 years, has hugged and put her arm around her from the beginning, but it hasn’t gone any further than that.

If a woman says she wants to kiss a man carelessly, it might be a bit offensive.

Bea had endured it for so long, but now it seemed unbearable.

The eyes were shaking, but even so, I could feel the will contained in them.

Those eyes, like a wounded rabbit, were so cute.

It was a pity that I couldn’t continue to be with him as he grew up, but it felt like all that regret would be blown away now.

I raised Bea and I up, had Bea sit on top of me, and walked closer while holding the ball.

Bea seemed to have realized what she was doing as well, closing her eyes and sticking out her lips slightly.

I saw Bea twitching her eyes as if she was nervous, and I approached her with my eyes closed.

-Kkeee..

“Is your son sleeping?”

“…”

“…”

If my mother hadn’t come right before our lips touched…

We stopped just before our lips touched, and my mother paused when she saw us.

– Sting.. Sting..

Silence fell in the room, and the sound of insects outside seemed louder than usual.

After a while, my face heated up to the point where it didn’t matter at all.

Me and Bea too.

I looked at my mother to see if she was also upset, but she was smiling a little.

But with my mother’s expression quickly changing.

“Mi.. I’m sorry..”

He closed the door and left.

“I’m going out so just do it.. and use birth control.”

Sticking to the last word…

‘Oh really.. they say we’re not there yet..’

In the end, that day, Bea and I cooled our heated faces and felt awkward for no reason, so we just held hands and fell asleep.

***

The next morning, when Bea and I woke up, we couldn’t make eye contact.

Every time I see Bea, the biggest reason is because I was caught by my mother yesterday.

‘Anyway… what brought you here?’

Although I felt a little offended, I was more curious than anything else, so I came to my mother’s room.

Because I didn’t think I would be able to eat properly if I went to a restaurant.

-smart.

“Mom, can I come in?”

“Okay, come in.”

-Kkeee..

When I opened the door and entered, my mother was doing paperwork.

It was my first time seeing my mother do paperwork, so I was a little surprised, but I understood what I had heard.

Since my father came to teach me, there was no one to do the paperwork, so my mother received maturation tutoring from my father.

Thinking like that, I think I can forgive my mother for what she did yesterday.

“What’s going on, Berador?”

“Oh, that was last night..”

“Last night.. yeah..”

My mother looked at me with a slightly serious expression.

‘Ah.. Mother..’

And I didn’t miss the strange look of anticipation on that expression, and I remembered how my mother wanted to see her grandchildren as soon as possible.

“First of all, that never happened.”

“Hmm? What kind of thing is that?”

“Mother!”

I intentionally said it back, but my mother pointed it out, so I had no choice but to raise my voice.

My mother giggled for a moment and then changed the subject.

“Then what happened last night?”

“Yes? Didn’t your mother come to visit me?”

“Huh? Me?”

“.. Yes..”

After hearing that answer, goosebumps started to appear all over my body.

“I didn’t visit you last night?”

Something… something was wrong.
