Chapter 5: Challenging Magic ③

Translated by AmaLynne

The next day, Sam slipped out of the house, under the watchful eyes of the Reinbachs, and bypassed the town to find himself in the woods.

「Now, let’s give it a try.」

Sam, who had made a promise to Daphne not to use fire magic―――chose to try out body enhancement magic.

As a child, his body gets out of breath and tired with the slightest movement.

It was a choice he wanted to make to cover that.

(If I can strengthen my body, my brother won’t be able to beat me until I’m unconscious.)

He already read the grimoire and learned to chant.

Perhaps it was because he had activated the magic once, but he could also feel the magic in his body.

Sam took a deep breath and chanted the body strengthening magic.

「Fuu-haa…―――The magic power that resides in my body, give me strength.」

Body enhancement magic is a form of magic that uses the magic power that resides within the body―――internal magic power to improve physical abilities.

Sam chanted the first step of this magic, a simple spell to raise his physical abilities.

Then,

「Oh, ooh? Oooohhhhhh!?」

The effect was immediate.

The heavy body of the nine-year-old became as light as if it had grown wings.

His immature body was difficult to move, but his arms and legs could move as they pleased.

「―――Yes! Taaaaahhh!」

Sam kicked the ground and was able to make a big leap.

He succeeded in jumping higher than the trees around him, high enough to see the town where he lived.

「Wow, that’s high!」

He’s was surprised, but also moved.

As he chewed on the joy of his successful body-enhancement spell, he briefly enjoyed the otherworldly view.

After a short time of floating, Sam landed on the ground without any problems.

「Wow. I never thought I could jump like this!」

Sam was so excited that his heart was pounding.

Unlike yesterday’s pillar of fire, which had gone out of control, he had successfully performed the body-enhancement magic of his own volition.

The magnitude of his joy was different.

It was also nice to have a panoramic view of the world he lives in.

Once again, he felt that he had been reincarnated into another world, and was able to think about his future now that he could use magic.

「I wonder if I can make it as a wizard?」

It seemed much more efficient to use body enhancement as a weapon to punch and kick than to fight with a sword that he had no talent for.

「Okay. Let’s try this again!」

Sam readied his fists and dropped his strengthened body low.

He faced the large tree that loomed nearby.

「―――Haaaaah!」

With all his energy, he struck one.

―――*Boom!*.

「What the…?」

Sam was stunned.

The fist he had fired had easily snapped a large tree and knocked it to the ground.

His fist felt no pain, as if it were a lie.

If you really hit something, the recoil will usually hurt your fist in some way or another.

「This is the effect of body strengthening… amazing.」

Sam got carried away and fired his fist at the other big tree.

It was just as easy to knock it down as before.

And there was still room for more.

「I wasn’t sure how much magical talent I had, but if I can do this much, I should have no problem fighting, right?」

There were so many that a simple force seemed sufficient.

It was unclear if this power would work against monsters, but it was hard to imagine that such a large amount of power would not work at all.

There are many more people in the world who can’t use magic, and yet there are many adventurers, so it seems that at least this power is not a problem.

「I might be able to become an adventurer now!」

The fact that he could use magic raised his hopes.

Sam didn’t expect everything to go smoothly.

First of all, he was able to take the first step. That was all that mattered.

He would cherish this step and train himself until the day he became an adventurer.

「The problem is… I don’t want to stay in that house indefinitely.」

The excitement that had been building in his heart suddenly cooled down.

The environment of that house is so bad that Sam, who was an adult before his reincarnation, is disgusted with it.

The father is not interested in a son who can’t use a sword.

His mother-in-law comes to his room to sass a nine-year-old, and she is so unpopular that she tells him to his face that she wishes he had died.

His half-brother is a monster who beats his brother into unconsciousness with a wooden sword.

Today, he punched Sam in the cheek as a greeting when they met.

He’s worried about the future of his brother, who can do unreasonable things with a smile on his face.

He has a feeling that he will become an out-of-control problem child, just like a child raised by a poisonous parent.

「No, it may be too late for him since he has already grown up to be a problem child.」

Well, Sam doesn’t really care what happens to those people.

Sam doesn’t have any familial feelings towards the Reinbachs.

Sam himself doesn’t know if he feels like a stranger because he was reincarnated, or because he was treated unfairly before his reincarnation.

The only people Sam has feelings for are the maid Daphne, the butler Derrick, and the rest of the household.

Without them, Sam would have suffered from loneliness.

When he thinks about it, he can only be grateful.

At best, he could only hope that the people of Reinbachs would not bother Daphne and the others.

After that, he continued training in body-enhancing magic, and the sun was quickly setting.

「Daphne will be very angry with me if I don’t leave soon.」

Sam didn’t want to worry Daphne, who was treating him as if he were her brother.

It still tickles him to be called「Young Master」but he doesn’t want to be treated coldly as「Manion-sama」like his younger brother.

Daphne and the rest of the servants’ attitudes toward him and his brother are blatantly different, but his brother doesn’t seem to think anything of it.

The arrogant brother doesn’t care if the servants don’t like him or not, but rather he doesn’t care what they think.

It’s a vicious cycle of selfishness and violence that makes him even more hated by the servants.

This will continue until the younger brother realizes what is going on.

Feeling sorry for the servants, Sam got ready to go.

「Well, let’s go home.」

Just as he turned on his heel.

「GuruoooOOOOOOOOOO!」

「Huh?」

Sam heard a roar from among the trees.

He reflexively turned around and saw a huge bear that he had never seen before, coming from behind a large tree.
