“I don’t want the internal injuries to get any worse, so stay still.”

Helena, who made me unable to move with just one word, closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

“ㅡㅡ!”

It was right after that that the spell language that could be said to be the symbol of a magician, which I had heard several times in the game, flowed from Helena’s mouth, and her hand on my chest was enveloped in a green light that was almost fluorescent.

‘What can I say, it’s a color that looks very harmful to health…’

Because the back side is fluorescent green, it makes me think of radioactivity.

Contrary to my impressions, the healing effect of Helena’s magic was outstanding.

As soon as the light surrounding her hand penetrated into my body, my throbbing stomach began to calm down little by little, as if I had inhaled capsaicin concentrate.

I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or what, but at least that’s how I felt.

You say you majored in lightning magic, but did you also learn healing magic as if you were a minor?

As I was thinking this, Helena carefully pulled back the hand she had placed on my chest.

“First of all… I took first aid as quickly as possible.”

Then he looked straight at me and said that.

“Compared to before, I definitely feel much more comfortable.”

“Because we mainly treated areas where the condition seemed critical.”

So, Helena explained that although it may feel like things are getting better right now, it is definitely not a reassuring situation.

“I see…”

“Honestly, I would like to recommend that you only focus on treatment until your internal injuries are completely healed… but you have finally become able to use magic, so it would be a bit unfair to just treat yourself without even trying magic, right?”

A voice that seems to float,

Helena obediently gave him the answer he wanted, and she added as if she had been waiting for him.

I will teach you a magic that can be used even in situations like this.

“It is the basic type of common magic, so it will not cause any harm to your body.”

“Hmm… Is it like a magic missile?”

I don’t know what was so funny about what I said, but a deflated sound escaped Helena’s mouth.

“Unfortunately, Magic Missile is quite difficult among common magics, so it will be difficult to learn right away.”

“It means you can learn it later.”

“Well… Wouldn’t that depend on how hard Suhyeon studies?”

“Useup, I’m not confident in memorizing things.”

I was frowning as if I was in trouble. Did I find it funny? Helena burst out laughing.

“Don’t worry. I will teach you in the most fun way possible so that you can become interested in magic.”

“I will only trust you, Master.”

So, what is the magic that is being taught today?

Out of curiosity, I glanced at Helena, and as if she had read the questions in my eyes, she responded to my questions.

“In that sense, we will conclude the class by learning only ‘Light’ today.”

“Isn’t that what the light side is? Magic that lights up when it’s dark?”

“To be exact, it is a magic that summons a sphere made of light.”

Helena corrected me in a very firm voice, as if she could never compromise on magic, and then added. It may not seem like a big deal, but once you learn it, it can be very useful.

“Although it is a magic created to brighten the darkness, there is no law that says to use the light only when the surroundings are dark.”

“Ah… Well, I guess so. If necessary, it may be possible to use it as a substitute for a flash bomb…”

It will be especially effective against martial arts people like Hayoung, who prefer close combat.

If you hit a martial arts person with a lot of energy right in front of their eyes and hit them with a light, they will just want to die.

“So what should I do?”

“First of all… you have to memorize the activation formula, that is, Light’s spell language, right?”

Eventually, what came out of Helena’s mouth was a single word with extremely bizarre pronunciations.

“Would you like to follow along?”

“Um… I’m sorry, but can I hear it one more time?”

“Of course. ㅡㅡ!”

I engraved what had flowed into my ear firmly in my mind and moved my tongue around to release it as much as I could.

And then I followed what was engraved in my head…

“ㅡㅡ!”

“No, that’s not it.”

“ㅡㅡ!”

“The pronunciation was muddled at the end. Again!”

“ㅡㅡ!”

It wasn’t until my tongue started to cramp that I was barely able to get the OK sign.

No, from what I heard, it doesn’t seem to be any different from what I first said, so what’s the difference?

I suddenly wondered if it was because of the strange tingling sensation I felt on my tongue, but since I was in the position to be taught, I decided to obey Helena’s instructions for now.

“Once you’ve learned the magic spell language you want to use, it’s time to put ‘magic’ into your words.”

“Do you mean horse power?”

“Yes, this is the stage where beginner wizards who have just entered the path of magic often get lost.”

Helena said so, but it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult. Moving the energy inside my body was something I did every day.

Wouldn’t it be possible to roughly extract the magic power from the heart and transfer it to the tongue and vocal cords?

“ㅡㅡ!”

As a test, I tried the method I came up with…

Huh!

Along with the feeling as if something was falling out from inside my chest, a sphere made of light suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Contrary to expectations, it was not as bright.

Rather than brightness… it felt like I was looking at a fluorescent light that had reached the end of its life.

It just felt like it was going to go off at any moment.

So I thought it would have failed…

“How…?”

Looking at Helena’s eyes blinking in surprise, it didn’t seem like that.

“Was it successful?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“For something like that, it doesn’t seem that bright…”

“Ah, that’s because you don’t have enough magic power.”

Helena added as if explaining, then leaned forward and began to observe the sphere of light I had created.

“For a first attempt, the shape is very well established, as horsepower can be built up gradually. It is not easy for a beginner to create such a perfect sphere…”

“Did you do well?”

“Okay, maybe you… might have a talent for magic. Well, it’s a bit funny to say something like this to someone who has already reached the level of a martial artist.”

Basically, a compliment is what makes even a whale tap dance.

What if it came from the mouth of a beauty as beautiful as Helena?

From a man’s perspective, it’s inevitable that he will have a lump on his shoulder.

“Shall we try one more time?”

It wasn’t much different because it was me, so I said that in an enthusiastic voice, but what came back was a very firm nod.

“No, I’d rather stop here for today.”

“Yes? Already?”

“You didn’t forget, right? How is your physical condition right now?”

“Ah, um…”

“If you already have serious internal injuries and mana exhaustion is added to it, a few days of recuperation may not be enough.”

What can you do when someone who is considered an expert says that? Even though I feel sad, I can only nod my head.

After confirming my answer, Helena put the staff she was holding back into her sleeve.

It looks like class is over and he’s about to go home.

He spoke to Helena, who was preparing to go back.

“Thank you so much today.”

“What, I just followed the contract.”

“Still. If Helena hadn’t cooperated, wouldn’t you have been able to try to get into magic in the first place?”

“That was actually to satisfy my curiosity.”

So there is no need to be too thankful.

He spoke firmly to Helena, who seemed to be saying just that.

“No matter the reason, I am thankful for what I am thankful for.”

“If you think so…”

I will accept that greeting.

Helena’s voice when she spoke in that way had clearly changed to become more friendly compared to when we first met.

Even though he had a kind tone back then, it didn’t feel like it was a bit artificial. Now, I can say that it feels like he sincerely wants to become close to me.

Well, I guess so.

From Helena’s point of view, I would be the only valuable research subject that exists in the world.

“By the way, aren’t you just trying to send it too much?”

“No… I heard you said that’s the end of today’s class…”

“Even though class is over, there’s still something left to settle between us, right?”

“Ah… Now that I think about it, it was that kind of contract. So… was it only one sample per teaching session?”

“Accurate.”

The contract was made on those terms in the first place, so don’t even think about saying anything else now.

Feeling the nuance contained in Helena’s voice, a perplexed expression appeared on her face.

“Of course I plan to keep my promise, but…”

Should I say it one more time? Helena tilted her chin slightly.

He spoke at exactly the right time.

“As you know, my physical condition is not good right now…”

I’m not sure if I can provide samples as promised.

Helena smiled brightly at my remark. It was literally a smile meant to reassure the other person.

“You don’t have to worry about that part.”

“Yes? What is that…?”

“It’s a sample, I just have to collect it myself.”

Helena, with a smile and those words, soon pulled out something from her sleeve.

Then, I put it on my hand and put it on until it made a sound.

What can I say?

What Helena took out from inside her sleeve were gloves.

Also… pure white latex gloves that you might only see in places like dentists.

“So, would you like to lie down first?”

“ㅡWhat I asked for was education about magic, not sex education.”

“···.”

“What kind of situation is this?”
