At breakfast the next day, Daphne handed me a magic book.
By the way, Sam is eating with Daphne and Derrick.
It seems that an incompetent boy with no talent with a sword does not deserve to sit around the table with his father and the others.
(Well, it makes me feel better, but it's hard for Daphne and Derrick to look at me with moist eyes, feeling sorry for me.)
Derrick, the butler, saw Sam rejoicing when he was given the magic book and cried, lamenting the treatment of the young boy, just as Daphne had done.
Daphne cried too, and when Sam struggled to make them stop crying, she seemed to be a "healthy child" and cried more tears, creating a funny cycle.
--Don't get desperate even if you don't have a talent for magic," she said.
Daphne and Derrick said this to Sam, as if they had thought of a contingency.
Perhaps they were worried about how shocked the boy would be if he did not have the gift of magic.
Sam could only laugh at such an exaggeration, because if he could not use magic, he would just think of another way.
People are not cut out for this.
Even if Sam has no talent for sword or magic, he will find something that suits him if he keeps looking.
(Since I've been reborn in a different world, let's look forward and move on.)
Although not optimistic, Sam tries to keep a positive outlook.
Back in his room, Sam opens his magic book and begins to read.
Fortunately, thanks to his memory, he can read the text, so it is not difficult for him.
Rather, the joy of gaining new knowledge is greater.
（First of all, it is important to know if I have what it takes to be a wizard. No matter how much I want to be a wizard, I can't use magic without the essential magical power.)
I read books with one thought in mind: I wanted to use magic.
And a few hours passed quickly.
"...... wind. After all, to use magic, you need to have magic power in your body, right?
The contents of the magic book were interesting.
It seems that wizards are rare in this world, and those who can control magic to some degree at will are few and far between.
Adventurers and wizards in the service of the state are, from the top to the bottom, a rare handful among those who possess magical powers.
"I'm starting to get a little worried. ...... In a world where there are so few people with magic to begin with, I wonder if I'll conveniently have it?"
If there was magic in him, my father would have noticed it early and developed his talent, I wondered.
But he immediately shook his head.
Sam's father, Carius, was not like that.
In his mind, a son is only as good as his sword.
Even if Sam had magic powers and was a gifted wizard, he would not be interested.
Already Sam does not expect anything from his father.
The same was true for the boy Sam before he became the Sam he is now.
Daphne and Derrick were the only family that mattered to Samuel.
"I guess it doesn't matter what I think. If I cast a simple spell like the one in the book, I could tell if I had magic or not."
It is a simple method, but it is said to be used to determine the presence or absence of magic, since rudimentary magic can be invoked if there is magic power.
I heard that an organization called the Magic Society has magic tools that can measure magic power, but there is no way such a clever thing can be found in a small nobleman's house in the countryside.
"Let's see, what is it ...... that you have to keep persevering even if you don't get results once or twice? How many times do I have to try to persevere?"
Even rudimentary magic does not always succeed easily, apparently.
But that does not mean that it is determined by a lack of magic power, and the book says that it must be tried several times.
However, it seems that it is up to the individual to decide how many times he or she should try, and it is unclear how many times one should try before reaching a conclusion.
"There's no use in worrying about it, I'll give it a try."
I'm getting nervous.
It is no exaggeration to say that the presence or absence of magical power will determine the future of my life in the other world.
Whether I can become a wizard or not, or whether I have no talent and will look for something else, depends on the next result.
(Oh no, I'm getting nervous and my stomach is starting to hurt.)
My hands start to shake holding the book.
"Don't be scared, let's do it!"
He held up his index finger as he chided himself for drowning out his anxiety.
He took a deep breath and wished for the magic to come out.
Then he chanted.
"-Light the fire."
What the boy spun out of his mouth was the most rudimentary of all fire magic.
Even if he succeeded, he would only be able to light a small fire on his fingertips at best.
But..,
--Roar!
With a bang, a pillar of fire shot up from Sam's finger.
