Celestina’s mana was gradually ticking its way toward zero as she used it up.

The sheer fact that this was magic training, however, made the struggle a very welcome one for the girl. After all, she’d never been able to use magic until now. Now that she’d been pulled out of that slump, she was tackling the training with glee.

And as a result, she was so happy she could scarcely contain herself.

Not that it really matters, but I notice she’s got quite a high level on her Perseverance and Patience skills. I guess she must’ve had a really tough time of things...

Satoshi was thinking over the girl’s stats as he worked to optimize the magic formulas in the textbook.

Celestina was a rather pitiable girl; she wasn’t even considered a proper noble most of the time. Of course, that wasn’t something Zelos knew—but he was able to at least make some guesses based on the girl’s status screen.

“Okay, page twenty-seven... ‘Ice Lance,’ huh?”

“Already?!” Celestina and her grandfather shouted out in unison, stunned by Zelos’s speed.

The core part of any basic spell’s magic formula was protected, so all that was left for Zelos to do was remove any unnecessary parts and incorporate some simple formulas for mana control. Having been a programmer at one point, Zelos was rather proficient at this sort of work, and he was humming as he went.

“Okay—how about a little contest? To see whether I finish improving the formulas in this textbook first, or you manage to use up all your mana first?”

“I-I won’t lose!”

“I feel like you may be putting yourself at a slight disadvantage here, Zelos...but, pah. This could be interesting nonetheless.”

Creston honestly didn’t care who was going to win this little challenge. He was simply basking in the joy of seeing a smile plastered across his granddaughter’s face for the first time in what felt like forever.

Ultimately, Zelos was faster—but he intentionally slowed down a bit toward the end, letting Celestina take the win.

Like any average middle-aged man, he had a soft spot for kids.

Creston, meanwhile, was beaming to see his granddaughter so overjoyed.

Adults simply couldn’t help themselves at a time like this.

“Bread! They have BREAD!”

As the travelers set up camp at a rest site, Zelos began crying tears of joy at the sight of mere bread.

Over the past week, he’d had to survive in a vast forest, eating nothing but meat, meat, and more meat. So seeing this loaf spurred deep emotions in the man; tears welled in his eyes. He’d had seasonings, but no rations to season—leaving him with a purely carnivorous diet that he’d tired of quickly, having been stuck with it for days on end.

Before him now, however, was the first food he’d seen in quite a while that promised civilized human tastes.
