Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

(I think the Asbit Plateau is due east of here)

Hiiro started walking towards the plateau while remembering the picture of the Lucky Herb he was shown. After walking for a while, he found it rather easy. It looked exactly like on the picture.

It had a small, white bud at its head and was growing all around.

(Even a kid could do this quest)

It was close to the town and could be collected easily as it grew in large quantities. An easy task, even for a beginner.

(No ones around here)

Looking around, he noticed that no one besides him was here. Then he recited Status and looked at the column where Word Magic was written, lightly touching it with his finger. Upon that, the panel changed and showed an explanation about the Word Magic.

(So the help shows up after all when I click it. This really is like a game)

Hiiro didnt just wanted to read the help. He wanted to try the magic here.

If possible, he would like to avoid showing off his unique magic, because he feared that he would get dragged back to the king if he stood out, after he finally obtained freedom.

(Well, it depends on the magic anyway)

If all unique magic were indeed powerful, it was quite possible that his fear came true. Besides, it was necessary to understand the magic to grasp his self, like the old woman had told him earlier.

But he didnt intend to be reckless, since there was the so-called rebound. Hiiro just wanted to find out what his magic was, not to die here already.

Word Magic MP cost: 30

Imagine the magic power gathering in your finger and draw a word. An effect in accordance with the meaning of the word is brought forth. It is a unique magic with the phenomenal power to apprehend and contort the underlying principles. Single Chain unlocked refers to the possible chain length of words. This magic was once ?%&GR!&*

For some reason the last part was corrupted and unreadable. He was quite bothered about it, but he somehow understood this magic. Still, he wouldnt know if he was right unless he actually tried out the magic.

(So its called Word Magic. Lets try it for now)

With that in mind, he took a deep breath and concentrated magic power in his fingertip in the same way as in front of the old woman. Before it took him a little while, but on his second try, his finger lighted up with magic power rather smoothly.
