Chapter 28.2
“Good. So, you’ve got the bare minimum of footwork. But it is only the beginning. Keep up the training.”
“Yes.”
During morning training time, Sera finally gave me a pass.
Nine days into my Escort Maid apprenticeship, I had finally mastered the basics of [Escort Maid] footwork, just in time for the arrival of my surveillance target. However, I could only take a few steps with concentration, so it was still difficult to use it in battle.
But Sera said that she could only remember a few people in her organization who had been able to use even a few steps under the age of 10.
“By the way, I could use it when I was seven, too.”
“I can do it too.”
“…Theo is like me, isn’t he?”
Theo and I continue to work out together, though only in the mornings. Theo, who was a year younger than me, had more advanced skills than me, so I thought this was normal, but Theo has been bored even though he has talent, but since he started working out with me, he started to take it seriously, and Sera had secretly thanked me for it…even though I did nothing.
The other thing I was able to master was [Heavy], another level 1 spell of dark magic.
[Heavy] was a magic that could increase or decrease the weight of an object that can be held by about 10%. The incantation was [Mobasaoiiani Derekles]—meaning change the weight of that thing.
This was also difficult because I started by looking for the words of the spell, but after mastering [Dark Magic], I was able to recognize the slightest signs of activation and could learn it in a few days.
