Chapter 226: Di-Magia

“Eh? I am a Di-Magia?”

El opened her eyes wide.

Although not as much as a Tri-Magia who can use three attribute magics, a Di-Magia who can use two attribute magics is also rare.

By the way, a mage who can use only one attribute magic is a Mono-Magia.

However, since the vast majority of mages among humans are Mono-Magia, it is a term that isn’t normally used.

“Yes, you have an aptitude for both Fire and Water Magic.”

“I am surprised. The Sheffield family has produced Water Mages for generations, so I was fully convinced that I was a Water Mage as well.”

“Is that so. A child’s magic aptitude is often the same as their parents’, but it is not unusual among Elves for children to be born with different aptitudes.”

“El, my little sister is a Tri-Magia, but we don’t even have any Di-Magia among our relatives.”

“When you say Tri-Magia, do you mean Sophie-san, who is expected to have a great future as a genius mage?”

“Sophie also had her aptitude discovered by the Elf Elder, didn’t she. As expected of Elves, who are known as a magical race.”

“Yeah, it’s just as Letty says. I’m glad I brought El here.”

“Thank you very much. But I feel like you shouldn’t compare a genius like Sophie-san to a mediocre talent like me.”

“Elva-san, you must not belittle yourself. You were troubled about being poor at Water Magic, but a new possibility has sprouted, hasn’t it.”

Flora took the hand of the dumbfounded El.

“Thank you, Flora-san.”

After that, El turned back to face Luna.

“I had been agonizing because no matter how hard I tried, my Water Magic wouldn’t improve. But thanks to you, Lucerina-san, I have found hope.”

“If I could be of help, I am glad. In your case, while you can use Water Magic, your aptitude for Fire Magic seems to be higher, as I mentioned earlier. Since water and fire are opposing attributes, if your fire aptitude is high, your water aptitude will naturally be lower.”

“So that was the case. I never knew that.”

Since humans are mostly Mono-Magia, that kind of knowledge is only passed down among the Elves.

“Elva-san, I believe it would be best for you to polish your Fire Magic from now on.”

“Yes, I will do my best. But, I wonder if my Fire Magic will improve? I am a defective mage, after all.”

“No, you possess great potential. I’m sure you will be able to grow into an excellent Fire Magic user.”

“Is that really true? Thank you very much, Luna-san.”

El teared up.

The Elder stepped forward with a smile.

“Elva-san, your coming here and discovering your new aptitude must also be the guidance of the World Tree. Luna, this too is destiny, so how about you take charge of Elva-san’s magical instruction?”

“Grandmother. I am to instruct her?”

“Yes, you have already acquired the ability to see through to Elva-san’s magical qualities. There is nothing left for me to teach you. You will surely become a good instructor.”

Thus, it was discovered that El is a Di-Magia capable of using two types of magic, fire and water, and she became Luna‘s disciple.

Because it is difficult to commute from the Royal Capital to the Elf Forest on the outskirts of Northernford, it was decided that I would take her there with Teleportation Magic every weekend.

The next day, while relaxing in the clubroom after school, I heard a knock on the door, and then the door was forcefully thrown open.

I wondered who it was, and it turned out to be the Student Council President, young Lord Luke.

“I heard from my sister, Lord William.”

Young Lord Luke strode briskly over and took my hand.

“Thank you, truly. El was working incredibly hard, but she was constantly agonizing over her Water Magic not improving. To think it would turn out she is a Di-Magia and has a talent for Fire Magic.”

“No, all I did was introduce her to the Elf clan chief.”

“No, no, someone like you, Lord William, is the only one who could do such a thing. Being able to see my sister’s embarrassed yet joyful face makes me truly happy.”

Young Lord Luke‘s eyes were tearing up.

“Our parents searched for magic teachers who were said to be excellent, but even then, there were no results. Even though my sister was suffering, I couldn’t do anything for her.”

“Lord Lucas.”

I see, young Lord Luke had been worrying as well.

To think so earnestly about his sister—he really cares for his family.

“Between the cold-resistant wheat and my sister’s magic, you are truly a benefactor of the Sheffield Ducal family, Lord William.”

Saying so, young Lord Luke bowed his head.

“Please raise your head, Lord Lucas. When the West was attacked by the massive swarm of monsters, the Sheffield Ducal family came to our rescue. We help each other in times of need.”

“Besides, when Flora, Letty, and I were struggling to make friends, El was the first one to join our club. Being able to help a friend makes me happy as well.”

“I see, so you consider my sister a friend. Thank you.”
