I was reborn as a villainous aristocrat, but to be honest, I’m having too much fun with magic – I’m creating all kinds of unique magic, and before I know it, I’m going to be the next Demon King!

It’s been a month since I discovered that I could create my own magic.

I was creating magic every day.

However, my magic power was quite low.

At first, I could only chant one or two times in a day.

However, this world, like other fantasy stories, seems to be the same in that if you use your magic power to the limit and then faint, the amount of magic power will increase.

I thought this might be a cheat knowledge that only I know, but according to Hecate, it is common knowledge that most people who use magic know.

The increase in magic power can be considered negligible, so it is very rare for people to take advantage of it.

However, even if it is a slight increase, there is no doubt that it will increase.

I was grateful for the increase in magic power for the coming days, so at the end of each day I would repeatedly use up all my magic power and go to bed….or even faint as I went to bed.

This allowed me to use magic at least three times a day without fainting.

It may sound like I haven’t increased my magical power much, but progress is progress.

Now, there is something I learned after I became able to create my original magic.

…Is it okay if I change the name of “Original Magic” because it’s too long?

Well, let’s call it unique magic. It’s kind of cool.

So, let’s get back to the story.

Unique magic can go beyond the scope of any magic that originally existed in this world.

For example, the attributes of magic that I talked about a long time ago…

The magic of this world is divided into the seven elements of fire, ice, gale, lightning, holy, dark, and healing, but it is possible to create spells that does not belong to any of these seven.

For example.

A few days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee.

I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I had to walk a long way down the hallway to get there.

However, time is of the essence and oil is a precious commodity, so the hallway was pitch black.

I couldn’t bear to wake the servants this late at night.

So I tried chanting.

“Magic. Thou shalt be a lamp to light my path. Light Torch.”

A ball of light appeared at my fingertips, illuminating my surroundings!

There was no such magic in “The Apostles of Arinasia”.

To begin with, there was no magic in the game that had any use other than to attack the enemy.

If one thinks about it, the magic I did earlier can also be used for attacking like blinding, except for healing.

I was also able to create other kinds of magic that did not appear in the game, such as “Sand Wall”, which creates a wall of earth in front of the user’s eyes, and “Waterfall”, which simply produces drinkable water.

This is a good news.

The fact that I could create magic that did not appear in the game means that I have more cards in my hand than the people of this world.

In other words, it would be that much easier to fight the protagonist.

I am steadily beginning to avoid my Flag of Death.

Now, a month after I met Keeka and became able to create magic

I haven’t seen Keeka since then.

I wish I could at least talk to her because it must be lonely to be in that empty place all alone, but I can’t….

“Well, I can’t help. I’ll look into that later.”

Back to the topic, my skills in magic seem to have progressed a lot in the past month.

However, “Cadonic Magic Academy” is not a place to learn only about magic.

In addition to general education, there are also martial arts classes.

Martial arts are all about swinging a sword and holding a spear.

Not all of the characters in “The Apostles of Arinasia” are magicians.

Some are good with swords, others with bows.

What I am trying to say is that magic alone is not enough.

I don’t know what will happen to me from now on.

After all, there is a final boss nearby.

I should make every possible effort.

Having made that decision, I visited the training ground adjacent to the Marquees Asmodai’s mansion together with Hecate.

“…there she is.”

I found the person I was looking for.

Long light blue hair, pure white armor.

Sleek arms and legs, but a solid torso.

I could tell even from behind. Because I am a heavy player of “The Apostles of Arinasia”.

“Sariya.”

When I spoke to her back, she turned around and looked back at me.

Long slit eyes and a high nose. She has a beauty that everyone will look back on.

“…Master Friedrich, right?”

Sariya Austin.

She is from a family of knights who have served the Asmodai Marquess family for a long time, and she herself is a knight who serves the Asmodai Marquess family.

In the original game, she gives up on the rampaging Marquess Asmodai Doroius, and temporarily joins the main character’s party, albeit as an NPC.

Her abilities are overwhelming, and she is such an easy-to-understand supporting character that people want her to “Don’t leave the party”,  “Let me control her”, and  “I won’t say anything extravagant, so please follow me until the last boss.”

“It’s unusual. I didn’t expect you to come here.”

Sariya said in a cold voice.

I guess they don’t think very favorably of me after all.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“A favor?”

“Ah, I want you to teach me how to use weapons.”

I approached Sariya for two reasons.

First, as you can probably tell from her stats in the original game, she is a strong character and would make a good teacher.

Second, Sariya betrays Doroius at the end of the game. In other words, I took it as a given that she would most likely stay on my side in the future.

“Huh, Friedrich-sama?”

… I’m not sure if she’ll really stand by my side, since she frowns at the mere sight of my face.

Well, let’s be thankful that she’s going to be Doroius’s enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“Given that you fled before, why the sudden change of heart?”

However, Saria started from an unexpected direction.

“Huh? Fled?”

“… It was already five years ago from now? I was asked by Master Doroius to teach you, but after three days you fled and never even came near this place again.”

In other words, I…or rather, Friedrich had learned how to use weapons from her before.

However, Friedrich was lazy so it was only natural that he immediately fled away.

That’s not my problem per se, but it might not be the same for other people.

The only person I could count on was Sariya.

I bowed my head.

“I apologize for running away before. I’m sorry. Please give me another chance.”

I pleaded with all my sincerity.

I wanted to do everything I could now.

“….”

I heard a gasping sound overhead.

“….Understood”

“Really?”

I raised my head vigorously.

Saria’s expression softened more than before.

She seemed to accept my apology.

…If I tell the truth, there’s no need for me to apologize.

An asshole like Friedrich is really…really…

“Well then, let’s start the training. My training is harsh , okay?”

“It’s what I want.”

In this way, I was able to get a martial arts teacher who was very convenient for me.

–What a smooth start!

That’s what I thought at the time.

…I had no idea that a hell was waiting for me.
