“I don’t know how to handle magic. Can I use the wand?”
Sicar stood up and held my hand.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“To the study.”
When we arrived at the study, Sicar took out a wand from his safe. It looked like a roll of paper of a suitable size. It felt like a magic wand, similar to what wizards use.
Sicar stood up, holding the wand with both hands, and said, “Let’s go.”
“If you stretch it like this, it will extend, and if you gather it like this, it will shrink.”
Strangely enough, the wand expanded and contracted like a rubber band.
“This is really an amazing item.”
“This is not all. Since you don’t have magic power, you need to drink magic potion to use the wand. Then, concentrate your mind and swing this wand to the place where you want to use it. Be careful, as if you don’t concentrate, the magic from the wand might attack you.”
“I have to drink a magic potion? Is it okay for me to drink that?”
“It won’t taste good, but it’s expensive, so don’t leave a drop and drink it all.”
“If I drink that, I can use magic, right?”
“Of course, drinking the magic potion doesn’t mean you can use magic. It just allows you to use this wand.”
Sicar handed me a pouch full of magic potion.
“Always carry this with you, and whenever you use the wand, be sure to drink it. Since you are an ordinary person without any abilities, the effect of drinking the magic potion will only last for three hours. Always keep that in mind. Understand?”
After that… from the next day, I was thrown into the dreadful and notorious training room.
Crazy bastard.
Why am I cursing? It’s because Sicar brought a dragon in front of me, saying he would train me.
Is it because the dragon is too huge and terrifying that I curse? No, that wasn’t it.
I cursed because the dragon was too cute. The dragon was a baby dragon, a small hatchling.
Of course, it wasn’t alive, it was a simulation, but just watching it was so cute that I couldn’t attack it.
Sicar handed me the wand and gave an order that sounded like a command to cut this cute hatchling in half.
Attacking such a cute hatchling is insane. Absolutely not.
“T-This is too cute!”
“If that seemingly cute thing starts spitting fire at you, your thoughts will change. There’s no time to hesitate. Even if you don’t get a burn, you’ll feel your body getting very hot when hit by the hatchling’s breath, so be aware.”
“No way… this is a simulation, right?”
“Even if it’s a simulation, if you don’t get used to it, you’ll feel the heat by memory.”
Sicar sat leisurely, watching me as if telling me to do well, with his fist clenched.
And at that moment, the baby dragon began its fiery breath towards me. So, I raised the wand I was holding high.
“I’ve never used anything like this!”
While saying that, with the word to concentrate in my ears, I closed my eyes, raised the wand high, and swung it around.
After swinging it for a while, when I opened my eyes in the quiet stillness, Sicar and the small hatchling were sitting, watching me.
“W-What…?”
“Where can you find someone who fights with their eyes closed like that? If this were a real battle, you would have burned to death just now.”
“You! You said you would train me, but all you did was give me this wand! What’s the difference between teaching me how to catch fish and throwing me into the sea?”
“Originally, before teaching swimming, you need to experience being thrown into the sea at least once.”
“So, was that just a warm-up?”
Sicar chuckled a bit.
“That’s right. Now I’ll teach you how to properly swing the wand.”
After returning from the expedition, it was clear that Sicar’s tone had returned to his old personality.
“Tell me what to do.”
Sicar looked at me with a puzzled expression and quickly corrected himself.
“I’ll tell you. Let’s start again.”
“Tell me what to do.”
“…I’ll do it.”
Although Sicar’s words seemed composed, his tone was quite sarcastic.
Soon after Sicar snapped his fingers, the cute hatchling that was in front of me disappeared.
It was still cute, and I felt a bit disappointed when it vanished.
Sicar grabbed my hand and tightly handed me the wand again.
“While this wand doesn’t have the ability to perform any grand magic, it can electrocute your opponent.”
“Is it like some kind of electric shockwave?”
You could say it’s similar, but it can be considered stronger than that. It has a very long range, and if it hits directly, the opponent will tremble for at least a few minutes. So, it can buy you time to escape in a dangerous situation.”
I examined the wand in my hand.
“It’s amazing that such magic comes from this small wand.”
“But if you swing it incorrectly, you might get electrocuted, so you have to be careful. So, what you need to learn is how to swing the wand safely and how to control the magic to go in the direction you want.”
Sicar was speaking casually, but I knew that even if I had eaten a magic potion and held a magic wand, it wouldn’t be as easy as he made it sound.
“Can you tell me more precisely about the uses of this wand?”
“I guess so. It would be better for you to see with your own eyes what functions it has rather than me explaining it.”
After drinking a glass of magic potion, Sicar summoned Durion.
“Did you call for me, Your Excellency?”
Sicar, with an innocent face, swung the wand towards Durion.
Zap!
Durion, who came in innocently, got electrocuted by Sicar’s swung wand.
“Ughhh…”
Hit by the lightning emitted from the wand, Durion couldn’t speak and just writhed on the floor, making only ‘Ughhh’ sounds.
Surprised, I rushed out and called Durion.
“Durion! Durion! Are you okay?”
Sicar looked down at me with a calm fist and said, “He’ll be fine.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
