Recently, I’d taken to doing a certain something while practicing magic.

Whenever I walked around the woods behind the manor—which, by the way, had begun feeling more like home to me than the manor itself—I would pay close attention to the ground in search of a particular thing.

Looks like I found some pretty quickly again today.

Beneath a tree, nurtured by the morning dew, an herb called lekukro grass had grown. The color of the soil surrounding that herb was clearly different.

“Gnome!” I called, summoning before my eyes a low-rank earth spirit that looked like a mole.

And just to make things clear, “Gnome” wasn’t the individual spirit’s name but their species name. I could currently use five magic spells at once, meaning I could summon five Gnomes at once. As such, it was highly likely that this Gnome was different from the ones I summoned before.

Thus, rather than assuming it knew what to do, I gave it clear and detailed instructions. “I want you to dig out that different-colored soil around the lekukro grass and compress them into balls for me. Avoid the herb itself.”

The Gnome nodded.

The next moment, the soil around the lekukro grass floated up and compressed into balls beside the Gnome, which hadn’t moved an inch. It seemed like manipulating soil was as simple a task for an earth spirit as breathing was for humans.

Afterward, I shot out three fireballs, engulfing the lumps of earth in flame.

“Sylph!”

For the last of the five spells I could simultaneously activate, I summoned a Sylph, a low-rank wind spirit that had the form of a naked adult, although its skin was green and its size was one-third that of a human’s. As a side note, its appearance would fall under what humans categorized as female.

“Control the air so that it burns up more.”

The Sylph nodded. Unlike the earth spirit that didn’t have to move, the wind spirit raised its index and middle fingers in a V shape over its mouth, then blew out.

Fanned by the wind, the flames burned even harder, reaching out for the sky in a straight line as if they were guided by a long and invisible chimney—and with the same effects of an actual chimney, too, as the fire engulfing the soil grew even stronger.

That was how I used five spells at once to heat up the soil.

After a while, it began melting into a sludge. Normal soil wouldn’t melt so easily under heat—in fact, it would harden, which was how clay and pottery were made—except this particular one in front of me actually was. Somehow, wherever lekukro grass grew, it altered the composition of the soil around it into something else, hence why it melted. Eventually, it formed into a hexagonal crystal

This was called a lekukro crystal.

After putting the fire out and stopping the wind, I held it between my index finger and thumb. Closing one eye, I took a closer look and saw that the inside was completely see-through, revealing not even a single impurity.

Lekukro crystals could be sold at a fairly good price.
