When I woke up, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

　Apparently I was tucked into bed.


'Did you notice?　I'm sorry, if I had been careful, Mr. Fricke wouldn't have been harmed. ......


　Noelia noticed I was awake and peeked in.


Noelia," she said. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I teased you," she said. I'm sorry to let you in.


　I hear Gawain's voice and a knock on the door from outside. I hear this is his bed in the main house.


'Master Gawain, your pranks on Master Flick are too much. You'll have to go outside to reflect on it for a while.


　Noelia had said pithily to Gawain, 'Please reflect on it.


　But still, Gawain was an agile and monstrous man who didn't match his size.

　I didn't think he couldn't pretend.


The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a copy of Noelia ...... who the hell is Gawain-sama?　I don't think he's just a blacksmith. ......

"Master Gawain is an expert in body strengthening magic. I've mastered it myself, but it's a bit of a weakness for me: ....... I was going to teach Master Flick some support magic after I finished teaching him.


　Body Enhancement Magic ...... I had never heard of such magic before.

　Attack and support magic is also used a lot by sorcerers, so I knew about it to some extent.


''What kind of magic is that?''

'It's magic that literally strengthens your body. Master Gawain realized that he could use magic to enhance the muscle strength needed to improve his blacksmithing skills. He was called a 'freak' because he used body-enhancement magic to develop his muscle strength into something other than a human being, but that's not all: ......

How is this different from ...... assisted magic that strengthens your body?

''Yes, support magic is magic that affects others or those within range, but physical enhancement is magic that specializes in strengthening only the sorcerer himself. ...... The physical enhancement magic created by Master Gawain is a magic that is considered heretical by sorcerers who do not require much physical enhancement.


　It's true that if you're a normal sorcerer, you'll rarely engage in close combat, and you'll choose offensive and supportive magic rather than consuming your magic power through physical enhancement.

　It's understandable that the sorcerers would call me a heretic.


''Hey, Noelia!　I'm sure you're making fun of the body strengthening magic I've created. I can hear you.


　Noelia's voice could be heard, and Gawain was making a noise outside.


The first thing you need to know is that Master Gawain is a regular user of body-enhancing magic and ...... I should have told you that my putting up the air wall (wind barrier) beforehand was also a precautionary measure to prevent him from being injured by touch. The fact that Master Gawain is a freak doesn't change the fact that he's a freak, but I didn't want to give Master Flick a strange preconception, so I didn't want to mince my words.


　He bowed his head apologetically as if to say that Noelia was his fault.


''It was a good experience. I'll be using the air wall (wind barrier) from now on, too.'


　And if you take that thing seriously enough times, you're going to be in trouble.

　You have to protect yourself.


'I suggest you do so. Master Gawain has taken a liking to you. Therefore, I'm sure he will make you a sword at the cost of materials. And I will only strike a sword for someone I like.

''Huh ...... is that so? If only people who have been baptized with that baptism can get a sword or something like that, I guess it's no wonder ...... that Gawain-sama's sword isn't on the market.

Mais said your father dodged that thing when he was young and beat him down.

'You're amazing when you're young, Mr. Frontier Count. ...... You dodge that thing.


　Gawain, who rushed at me with his magically enhanced body, couldn't discern his movements and was so monstrous that he couldn't pretend if he was caught.

　If I can gain that much physical power, maybe body-enhancing magic will enhance my swordsmanship even more.

　It seems to be very worth trying to learn it.


''Noelia, as soon as I ask Gawain-sama to create a sword, can you teach me your body strengthening magic?　I need to try it myself.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it to work, but ...... I'm not very good at imagining the idea of strengthening my body. I think I can activate it, but since I can only experience it with my own body, it's difficult to communicate .......


　When it came to magic, Noelia's face lit up as she talked about everything, but apparently body-enhancement magic was a category of magic that she was not good at.


''Freak!　I'll be happy to teach you a few things if you want to use body strengthening magic. I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do. I'm going to be able to use it in a week.


　Gawain was making a lot of noise, eavesdropping on us outside.


　If he had that much muscle power, he could easily break down the door of this house and get in .......

　Oh, you don't want to break down the house .......

　And that wasn't the point.


　As an out-of-place thought came to mind, I hurriedly dismissed it in a hurry.


　What was important was whether it was okay to learn body enhancement magic from him.

　For one thing, my teacher is Noelia.


''I'm saying. Is it okay?

I'm a great user of body-enhancing magic, but ...... is a thing. It's just that I think he's a better teacher of body-enhancing magic than I am, since I've learned to use it myself. I've learned to use it myself.


　I could see that Noelia was also wondering if she should leave me, her apprentice, with a strange master who has many difficulties.


　Hmm, I understand that he's not a bad person, but there's that thing.

　But if I can use magic that can improve my physical abilities, I might be able to train my swordsmanship more.

　I should probably meditate on some difficulties to learn it, even if I have to meditate on some difficulties.


''Well, I can handle that thing.

Then I will stay behind to watch over Master Gawain. If anything were to happen to Master Flick while he is learning magic, it would be a loss to the world.

'What?　No, no, no, it's okay--


　At the moment I said that, I heard a loud flapping of wings outside.


　This sound is the flapping of wings of a pterodactyl!　The pterodactyl of Yasbah's hunting grounds is even in this house!


'Noelia, the pterodactyl!　Hide in here and Master Gawain will get you out.

Oh, no, Mr. Fricke. That sound is probably--


　I picked up my own sword that was on the side table and took off the door canister and walked out of the house.

　Then there were Pterodactyl and Gawain there.


''Yo, I'm going to go to Lloyd's for a bit now and tell him 'I've taken care of my daughter. You can use any ingredients you want and make dinner for me. I'll be back by dinner time. Then take care of it.


　When Gawain, who was straddling the pterosaur, told me that much, the figure of Gawain, riding on the pterosaur that had begun to flap its wings again, took off towards the Yuguhanotes where we had come from.

　I could only watch the figure in stunned amazement.


　Is it really okay for me, that guy to ask me to make a sword that will be my partner and teach me magic .......


　This is how I ended up learning body strengthening magic while having my sword made by Gawain, the oddball blacksmith, at the same time.
