Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 77: Adan's Test

The next day, I headed to the underground training area after finishing breakfast. Naturally, Adan and Urania followed and as usual, old man Kent tagged along behind us as well.

During Adans magic training, old man Kent always comes along to watch.1 While there are times when he leaves after a few minutes, there are also times when he stays from beginning to end. He says its because the magic training I conduct is interesting or something, but if I had to say, hes probably just concerned about his granddaughter.

Okay, lets get this started with. Teacher, youre talking normally today? Oh? My, how truly diligent of you Miss Adan. If you insist then, shall we put good effort today as well? S-stop that!

Since Adan said that needless quip, I teased her a bit. While this is how I normally am, if Adan asks for it, as her teacher, Im by no means reluctant to cooperate. But despite this fact, Adan just flushed red as she shakes her head in refusal. Geez, really rude.2

Well anyway. Were going to start the test now, so lets see why dont we start with Burn first then. Eh? But, you only taught me about Light Ball though? While I havent taught you that, its not like you cant use it, right? Dont worry, youve already learned magic power control and conservation, you should be able to do it properly.

It is true that other than magic items, Light Ball was the only magic we used during training. However, since I thoroughly drilled into her the basics of magic, how to use magic power, she should be able to use any magic much better than before.

If you say so Burn eh?

Though half in doubt, Adan cast Burn. I suppose she did it as she usually does, using the same amount of magic power and controlling it the same way as she did in the past. Without taking into account the fruits of her training.3

As a result, the flame Adan created on her right hand flared high up, almost reaching the ceiling of this large training area. Of course it would.4 Since the training I had her do wasnt only for teaching her how to control magic power, but also for making her wasteful use of magic power efficient as well, if she uses magic as she did up until now, its only natural for this to be the result.

Calm down, Water Uwah!?

Just as before, I produced water and put out Adans Burn. This is because she was panicking and was about to flail her flaming hand. The water ended up slightly drenching her head but I couldnt help it. It was inevitable.5

Things arent the same as before. Properly consider the magic power you need for magic and carefully control it. Ill overlook it this time, so do it properly now. G-got it.

I cant tell if its because the flame in front of her is gone now or if the water just cooled her head, but it seems like she finally calmed down. Geez, with her tripping up with the very first one, its going to be worrying from here on out.

Fuu~ Alright! Burn!

After relaxing herself with a deep breath, she psyched herself up and cast another magic. This time, shes regulating the magic power that shes using for the magic. Yup, she has great control over magic power. In this case, there shouldnt be any problems.

On her right hand, a beautiful orange flame has been lit. Since Burn is combustion magic, while its possible to directly burn a specific target, by just burning air like this, it can also be used like a torch. Though since Light Ball is much more user friendly, there arent many opportunities to use it like this.

Good, you can put it out now. Ah, right.

Adan stared silently at the flame she created for a short while and upon hearing my words, she came to her senses and extinguished it. It seems like she was able to control it properly, as her termination of the magic was done smoothly as well.

You cleared the first test. Lets keep this pace. Eh? Theres more? 10 all in all. We dont have much time, so lets finish this quick.

The magic Ill have her use today are the four fundamental attributes Burn, Water, Cut, Wall and the standard weather manipulation magics Blizzard, Tornado, and Thunder, as well the basic healing magic Heal and the one last, which is a surprise for later.6

Following my instructions, Adan casts one magic after the other. With Water, she still used too much magic power, causing a somewhat large amount of water to come out but, well, its passable. As for Cut, there were no problems. In contrast, Wall came out small, but it was much sturdier than what shes made before and if she makes another one, she should be able to make it as she wants to.

As for the three weather magics, I messed with her a bit and had her use them all at the same time.7 Naturally, I set up a barrier around me, Urania, and old man Kent.

As for the result, she simultaneously casted them without any issues. Using three magics is fundamentally the same as using two of them, so I did expect her to be able to do it, but I honestly expected her to fail at least once. To think that shed succeed at her first try.

Ohh, amazing. So you can do it if you actually try. Teacher! What is it? Its amazing! Even though Im using the three of them at the same time, I still have a ton of magic power left!

If this was before Adan did my training, she would have probably run out of magic power before she could even use them. Thanks to her magic power conservation plainly increasing her total magic power and her magic power control preventing excess waste, Adans total usable magic power should have considerably increased. Her still having a ton left is only natural.

She also managed to use Heal without any problems. I made a small wound on my left arm with Cut and had Adan heal it, but then she overacted and ended up healing even my hangnails.Anyone would react like that if someone suddenly cuts their only good arm right in front of them!she says. Its not like I was going to cut it off though.8

Haa Teacher, Im begging you, please stop doing these sort of crap. Well, sure is what Id like to say, but Im sorry to tell you, thats a bit impossible. Haah!? Why!? This is your final test. Adan, use Corona Burn Eh?

For her next and final test, the magic to end this will be the same magic that took my arm and became the trigger to Adans apprenticeship under me.
