The morning was ending so we left the accommodation .

I left the village and entered a lush forest .

It seemed that the villagers never came to the lake, there wasn’t even a small path here .

Although this path was a bit strenuous for magicians who have little strength, Sicia and Yata kept up with my pace .

“This is prejudice . Don’t assume all magicians have low stamina . ”

“Really? You seem weak to me . ”

“Even with spells and techniques, a magician’s body is an important part of magic casting . If magicians don’t exercise, they wouldn’t be able to use any advanced magic because they will burst . ”

In other words, Sicia and Yata, as magicians who signed contracts with Gods, couldn’t be physically weak .

The only particularly weak magician I met was the one on the 16th floor .

She was always sickly and weak, since then I began to have a prejudice against the magician .

Thinking carefully, the magician didn‘t look very weak when I knocked her out .

When the sun was about to set, we arrived at the lake .

This lake was pretty big .

I imagined that the lake would be big when I saw the map, but I didn’t expect it to be this huge .

Looking at the boundary of the lake in the distance, I couldn’t tell whether it was a lake or a sea .

Sicia and Yata weren’t surprised by the scenery of the lake . They began to draw a magic circle on the ground as soon as we arrived .

I asked if they needed my help, but they replied that there was nothing I could do so they told me to leave them .

But I didn’t leave . I walked around them and studied how they drew the magic circle .

I couldn’t understand what they were doing, but I intended to memorize the whole process .

“If you are curious, I could tell you later . So don’t bother us and stay away . ”

Finally, I was driven away .

She said she could tell me later, so it was okay to be driven away .

But I really had nothing to do in the meantime .

The tent was set up and we would eat the food we brought from the village in the evening, so I didn’t have to find food either .

I wanted to explore the area, but there was nothing dangerous in the peaceful and quiet forest .

I didn’t find anything strange within the range of my mana and I thought there was no need to investigate the forest .

As a result, I was determined to look under the surface of the lake .

Walking to the lake, I saw ripples of water .

I put my foot on the surface of the water and focused on it for a moment .

I moved my other foot from the ground and onto the surface of the lake, but then my body shook violently .

It would be much easier with bare feet, but I wore shoes with thick soles . So it wasn’t easy to control my mana .

I wobbled for a while before gradually stabilizing my center of gravity .

When I was familiar with this, I took a step forward .

Walking on the surface of the lake reminded me of an anime I watched before .

[No matter how peaceful the lake is, this is not something that can be easily learned in such a short time . By the way, what’s Naruto?]

“… You don’t have to know . ”

This kind of thing often happened recently .

Maybe it was because I use not only the voice but also telepathy to communicate with Ahbooboo, sometimes he could hear my thoughts .

I don’t know if it was because I am too familiar with telepathy causing me to make mistakes or if there is something else that caused this .

I couldn’t put my mind around this, but this time I felt a little uneasy .

It would be better to ask KiriKiri about this after clearing this floor .

When the figures of Sicia and Yata drawing the magic circle in the lakeside was becoming small, I was so far away from them that I could no longer see the bottom of the lake .

How deep would it be?

I jumped from the surface of the lake while thinking this .

And I dove into the lake .

I put my head down and my feet up so let my feet could touch the surface of the water using my mana .

Unlike standing on the water, my feet were now in contact with the underside of the water surface, like a bat hanging upside down .

[… You are so wasteful . You don’t have to use magic for that, just abandon studying magic and use me . ]

Voiced Ahbooboo who was afraid of his position would be threatened if I continued to learn magic .

But I won’t ignore magic .

Although I could use other techniques in place of magic, there were things I couldn’t do without magic .

For example, Sicia and Yata could draw a teleportation circle, but I couldn’t .

I walked on the underside surface of the lake and looked around the lake .

I searched the water with my eyes and mana, but nothing strange was found .

It seemed like an ordinary beautiful lake .

I was engrossed in the underwater scenes and forgot to find abnormal phenomenon .

With this method, I walked underwater . After a while, I felt that I was out of the air so I resurfaced .

My body, hair, and clothes weren’t wet . I guess it was because I was covered myself with mana .

I shook off some lingering water on my clothes and returned to the dry state just like before .

Perfect waterproofing .

[… If you are still human, please stop learning the magic . Don’t you feel sorry for the other magicians in the world? This is unfair for them . ]

Why I should feel sorry?

I ignored Ahbooboo’s words and walked towards the tent where Sicia and Yata are .

When I neared the lakeside, I found that Sicia and Yata were staring at me .

I didn’t know why they reacted like that, so I moved quicker .

“Mister . ”

“Yes? What is it?”

As soon as I got to land, Sicia grabbed my hand .

I was surprised by this sudden contact .

“Please take me as your disciple . ”

“What?”

Why did she suddenly request that?

Yata, who was beside Sicia, seemed to have seen something miraculous because her eyes were twinkling .

Maybe it was because I could walk on the water surface .

“That technique just now is not magic . ”

“Even if it’s not magic, I still want you to teach me it!”

Probably because she was too excited, Sicia shouted .

It would not be hard to teach her this .

Since she is a magician, she must know more about handling mana than me .

It would be easy for her to learn it if I enlightened her a little .

“Okay, in return you will teach me magic . ”

“Cool!”

Muddleheaded I had one disciple .
