I Didn't Even Want To Live, But God Forced Me To Reincarnate! Chapter 45: The Results Of My Independent Magic Practice

In the end, Alt-nii and Niina told the whole story to Mom and Dad, who just laughed at what happened. I feel relieved at their reactions! But maybe, it's also because it didn't turn out into a mess! That was... a very close call.

After that, I told them the full details of my findings regarding my affinities. n.o.body is uttering anything, I wonder why?

Their bodies just went stiff, as if somebody paralyzed them. Altaire's jaws slightly opened, and his eyes are widening. Mom and Dad's eyes are now vacant—they seem to be looking far away in the distance, but I wonder what are they looking at?

Without waiting, I proceeded to ask them the important question.

"Why won't everyone try the other magic elements one by one to find out their full affinity before the age of 6, if we can already use all of them just fine?"

At my question, finally, Mom snapped out of it and responded.

"That's because not everyone can really control the other magic just fine, Lyra... Some may exert too much energy to try the other affinity that they are not strong with, and trying such uncertainties may cause serious damage to them... And that's why, Lyra, I never give you any encouragement to try them one by one, and told you to focus on training your strong magic as we have practiced."

Geh—so that can happen?!

I shuddered, thinking about what might happen if I failed in my attempt...

So, the reason everyone else was completely silent while I elaborated the details of my findings was because... they are having the cold sweat on my experiment?!

Mom sighed and shook her head lightly. Her glance now shows a hint of nostalgia, as if remembering something she'd experienced from her past.

"I won't scold you for that, all that matters is that you're safe. ...oh well, I did the same thing as you did when I was a child, so that's why I can't be angry at you. But please, don't do it next time...," Mom explained.

"T, thanks, Mom, and I will consult you every time I want to do something new... but I think you should have warned me..."

"The book I gave you already had a warning written about it, and I told you to read the book carefully... Ah, you are just like me, aren't you? You skipped on the boring first page of training precautions, right? The first few points only detailed unimportant thing such as 'don't try any damaging magic to other people', 'don't try burning your house', 'pray for safety', and such, right?"

...Mom, you know me so well.

Yes, yes, I skipped the page after reading those tedious details!

"...like mother, like daughter," Dad says, in his amazement.

"...Perhaps I should try writing a better magic guide book for children like you and me...," Mom started to consider on writing a magic guide book on her own.

Yes, I fully support your decision, Mom!

"Ah, but Lyra, she didn't experience any kind of difficulty in experimenting with her magic like that... could it be...?" Dad said.

"Hmm?"

What is it, Dad?

"Ooh, you're right, Cyan!" Mom agreed.

Wait, wait, what are you talking about?

"That means, your mana capacity is high enough, Lyra!" Alt-nii answered my question.

"I, is that so?!" I was surprised at the sudden revelation.

So, that's the parameter?

"Yes, Lyra. We can be sure that your mana capacity will be superior than the majority... So, that's a good thing," Mom smiled.

Is that so?

That's great~!

"...wait a second, you said that you suspected yourself of being capable to use all magic within normal to strong range, with the exception of [Void]?!" Mom just realized that part of my explanation.

"Uhhh, I am not sure, but it doesn't take me so long to chant them and I'm not too tired... It's stated that using weak affinity magic would surely cause anyone to get tired more, right? So..."

"Really? Wow, I can't wait to find out the results of your second test~!"

Mom clapped her hands—her expression shows that of an excitement and nervousness at the same time. Dad shook his head lightly.

"That's absurd, n.o.body could have--..."

Dad seemed to murmur something, but I couldn't really hear what he's saying clearly. He must be talking to himself. Mom looks very happy and excited to hear my answer, and Dad's exasperated expression hasn't left his face just yet.

I hope my family members won't develop any muscle spasm on their faces... I think they had quite the same expression on their faces during when I developed my fluent reading skills at the age of 3, and how fluent my speaking got after that point.

I wouldn't want to be the culprit behind my parents' increased wrinkles!!

Anyway... does that mean that being able to use all magic (except Void) without any weak affinity is really a rare thing to have?

I mean, I didn't pay any attention to magic and magic users in the past, I was way too consumed on swordsmans.h.i.+p, so...

But when I think back on how my parents described their affinities and how they were considered great for their multiple affinities—I think I can safely deduct that what I found about my magical ability is quite awesome?

Oooh, finally, is this the cheat G.o.d granted to me? I didn't ask for it, but...

If it is, then, it is a nice gift to be born with!

...only if I don't end up being too overpowered, though. Being overpowered equals to having lots of troubles!

And I just want to live a peacefully happy life this time around~

Yup, living my whole life like this might be good~

I smiled thinking about how it might be possible for me to spend the rest of my life like this.

But wait a second. I think I forgot to ask something else.

Something else that bothered my mind during my independent practice session...

Dear little me, you have to remember and ask now, before it's too late!
