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

What does it mean to be able to see?

Everyone says my eyes can't see.

What does it mean to see?

Kunon.

To be able to perceive colors and shapes.

Colors? Shapes?

But your eyes bear the Hero's Scar left by the Holy Knight Histor Hughlia.

And that's extraordinary.

You should be proud.

Yes, sir.

I know he the Hero's Scar, but I feel sorry for him.

Feel sorry for me?

But why?

Because I can't see?

Master Kunon, Miss Jenié is here!

Do I really have to study magic?

It'd be a waste not to, since you were born with a water crest.

Being able to use magic is an amazing thing.

Even if I could use it, I still can't go anywhere without someone's help.

We're here.

Nice to meet you, Master Kunon Gurion.

I am Jenié Kors, and I will be your magic tutor starting today.

A-ori.

Yes! You're doing great, Master Kunon.

What kind of magic am I using?

It's a water spell, "A-ori."

You're producing water using magic.

It's about... the size of an eyeball.

An eyeball?

Oh, I'm sorry!

I thought an analogy might help you understand better.

It's about this size.

That's it.

Then I might be able to create them with magic.

I just have to make them.

Master Kunon?

Come what may, I'll make my own eyes with magic!

THE WORLD IN COLORS

Interesting.

I never thought anything of it before, but now I can't help but be curious about

what's in this sandwich.

Everything feels intriguing now.

What is this fresh, grass-like thing?

That's lettuce.

Lettuce?

And what's this?

It's mustard.

Oh, that's—

I know apples.

You may think that, but it's actually a plum.

A plum? What's that?

You're interested in different foods now, so it feels rewarding to cook.

I'm now interested in what kind of food I'm eating.

But... I'm smelling too many scents.

It's truly been so rewarding to cook!

Now, guess what this is.

Can you tell what it is, Master Kunon?

I'll tell them to cut your pay.

Sorry, I went too far!

Hello, Master Kunon.

Which book shall I read you today?

Lady Flora.

Yes?

History, please.

I'd like to hear the story of the Holy Knight Histor Hughlia.

What?

Very well.

If it becomes too much for you to hear, please let me know.

I'll be fine.

I'm thirsty for all kinds of knowledge right now.

A long, long time ago, there was a war between the heroes of the world and the Demon Lord.

A-ori.

The hero of this nation, Histor Hughlia, finally defeated the Demon Lord,

but he lost an arm and a leg in the fierce battle.

Since the war, every now and then the descendants of

Histor are born with something missing,

such as an arm, a leg, or eyesight.

Multiply.

People have called such children reincarnations of the hero, the "Hero's Scar."

But I am me, and this is my own magical power.

Multiply!

Nice, Master Kunon!

They've got a great shape!

Using my power, I can cast magic.

And with my magic, I will make eyeballs!

Who do we have here? An exceptional sorcerer of our times?

I will make it happen at any cost!

But...

It's hard.

Master Kunon!

I need more. So much more.

What? You need more affection from me?

I think I have enough of that.

Showering you with limitless affection has paid off.

If that wasn't enough, the only thing left was to co-sleep with you!

Is that so?

I don't want that.

I need way more knowledge and stamina.

They're necessary for strong magic.

Master Kunon, you're still seven years old and don't eat much.

You'll grow!

But that'll be too late.

Passing out from using basic magic is out of the question.

But suddenly increasing your food intake will be bad for you.

Let's do it in phases.

Okay.

And I want to strengthen my muscles,

but I'm not good at running or walking...

How about sword practice?

Sword practice.

Right, I can do that.

While we're at it, why don't we find you an accomplished teacher?

I'll go speak with Lord Gurion!

Iko.

Yes, sir?

Thank you for everything.

Master Kunon, one more push!

I'd love a raise as well!

Iko.

Yes, sir?

You were too loud during magic training.

Good! So you could hear me.

If you kept ignoring me, I would have cried myself to sleep tonight!

I should have let you do that.

That's right. Pay attention to the muscles of the arms and shoulders.

Swing down in the order of shoulders, elbows, then wrists.

Yes, sir!

Master Kunon, Miss Jenié is here!

Hello, Miss Jenié.

Hello, Master Kunon.

Oh, it's time for your next lesson.

I shall excuse myself.

Thank you very much, Master Ouro.

So you've begun learning swordplay.

Yes. To use magic, I need knowledge and stamina.

This boy has really changed.

Miss Jenié?

Would you like a short break?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

Then let us review A-ori from the last lesson.

You can begin with what you remember.

A-ori!

What?!

Master Kunon, you're amazing!

I've only taught him a little, but he's mastered this much on his own?

This boy...

He's frightening!

Princess Mirika, your carriage is ready.

Do I really have to go?

Do you hate the idea of visiting your fiancé that much?

I'm sure Kunon feels the same way.

He always looks gloomy.

But this is His Majesty's decision.

Kunon was born with the Hero's Scar and is an important person to the Kingdom of Hughlia.

I know that this political marriage is part of my obligation as royalty.

What do you like, Kunon?

What shall we play?

Nothing.

But...

I can't do anything or go anywhere alone, after all.

Having to look at that gloomy face for the rest of my life...

It's been a while, Your Highness.

Huh?

Kunon?

Yes!

Princess Mirika is as cute as ever today!

If I were a massive, bearded, middle-aged man, I wouldn't leave her alone!

Your hypothetical kind of scares me.

No, that's not what caught my attention.

Is everything okay?

That's what I was going to ask you, Kunon.

Yes. I fell in love with magic.

Magic?

A-ori.
