Kunon the Sorcerer Can See (魔術師クノンは見えている)

Hey, luckiest kid in the world who got to become my student.

Hello, my beloved master!

I won't hold back on you.

Are you ready?

Yes, please!

I welcome any difficult training!

If you hold back, I'll cry.

So, what do we start with?

A three-dimensional magic circle?

Or an oblique magic circle?

My request is the 50-section compound spell!

INCREDIBLE TRAINING AND INCREDIBLE RESULTS

What?

Man, thanks for the help.

I was looking for someone who can make clean copies of my memos.

All of these?

And there'll be more.

Don't you love me anymore?

I never have.

So merciless and cool!

These here are state secrets.

You stay outside until he's done.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

Please don't worry about me.

I'm rooting for you.

Thank you.

Hey, make me that thing.

Master sure loves this thing.

All right!

Shall I make you some tea?

I have a favor to ask of you.

Sword training?

Yes.

I've only just begun, and I have much to improve.

I want to practice whenever I have spare time.

Please do not tell Kunon about this!

Yes, Your Highness.

Pardon me!

I must become someone suitable for Kunon.

A diagram?

Are you done yet?

About halfway.

You're slow.

Don't say that with such luminous skin.

I'm exhausted from trying to decipher your scrawls.

My memos, you mean.

This letter looks just like an earthworm writhing by the wayside

because it carelessly came out of the comfort of damp ground.

Don't you compare my wisdom with a hopeless situation.

May I send you an invoice for my work?

Stop complaining.

This is significant training, all right?

Information and knowledge are different.

What you can gain from reading is just information.

What you analyze in your head and write with your own hand,

your body remembers.

It becomes knowledge that's wildly different from information.

And knowledge becomes power.

That's my master! I love you!

See ya. Make sure to finish everything by next time.

Yes, sir.

Oh, there was a memo of a diagram.

Was it some sort of spell?

That one... It'll be quicker to show you.

Next time, you come to me.

What? Okay.

I'm happy that I get to see you often, thanks to Master visiting me here!

Same here.

Don't confuse the means with the end.

Oh, Kunon.

Did you grow taller?

Yes, I'm ten years old now.

A growth spurt.

Your magical power has become a bit stronger, too.

Is that true?

Wanna do another magic battle with me?

No way!

Kunon promised that he'd do a flying magic experiment with me.

No, it's my turn.

You all get out of my way.

He's here to see me.

You're monopolizing him again?!

Not fair!

Follow me.

Yes, sir!

Is he taking Kunon to that room?!

You mustn't go!

That place is the world of demons!

Make that thing, now.

You know what magic tools are, right?

Yes. They're tools that work with a sorcerer's magical power.

Right. For example, this lamp is a magic tool of fire.

Magical engineers are sorcerers who make their living by creating magic tools.

Magical engineers.

Wow! It's amazing!

Are all of these your scrawls, Master?

You mean memos.

This is a spell I've never tried out.

I wanted this grimoire so much

that I tried to rely on Father's collusion with His Majesty!

Master, I want to live here!

You don't need to use collusion or live here.

Eventually you can have it all.

Master! I love you!

This is the magic tool I'm developing right now.

It's what was in the diagram.

Wow!

When it's completed, you can eat a piping-hot meal in your own room

without going to the kitchen.

You can bake an apple pie in your room?

That's nice!

My earth magic is good for modeling shapes,

but the fine details and soft parts are not so easy.

Soft parts... Do you think my water magic can make them?

You pick up quickly.

Eventually, you'll help with my work, which will double as experiments.

That sounds fun!

Right?

Kunon Gurion!

Hello, Grand Master.

I've been waiting for you!

As promised, why don't we discuss the essence of magic over lunch?

Make that thing.

My earth magic can take care of reinforcing the outer frame, but...

Indeed. And water magic might be better for the small internal mechanism.

My goodness, Kunon's bed is nice, very nice.

Listen, Kunon.

If you want to change your teacher, don't hesitate to speak up.

I'm being worked to the bone, but he's a wonderful master.

And water and earth are quite compatible.

I couldn't have asked anyone better, and I'm grateful to the Grand Master.

That's quite enough.

Are you embarrassed because your beloved student admires you?

It's all right. Let us show them how close we are!

Oh, really...?

For my personal safety, stop it.

What about Her Highness?

Since I'm here, I'd love to have some tea with her.

Mirika is at the entrance ceremony of the senior school for nobles today.

She was very disappointed she couldn't see you.

Oh, her higher education has started.

And what do you plan to do?

If it's necessary, I'll take the graduation exam.

I mean the magic school.

The magic school?

It's a school where bright sorcerers from all over the world attend and learn.

All the Royal Sorcerers here are graduates of that school.

You have to be twelve or older to enroll.

You still have time, but give it some thought.

A school where sorcerers from all over the world attend...

TWO YEARS LATER

A-ori.

Compound spell, 55 sections!

Good!

You did it.

Yes, sir!

It's right out of the oven and so tasty!

This magic tool is quite popular,
