After I learned that I couldn't use magic, I asked Slphia to teach me magic, and she gave me a magic book that had hundreds of magic spells in it.
Slphia told me that there are two conditions for using magic. The first was to memorize the magic words needed for the magic and the second was to imagine. The more powerful a person's imagination, the more powerful the magic they use.
In my previous life, I watched a lot of fantasy movies and anime, and I also read a lot of books. for me, imagination was very simple. Even if I didn't look like that, as a person who went to middle school and high school, I knew how fire and water existed.
And that's exactly where the problem started. As I read the magic words, I closed my eyes and imagined hydrogen reaching the temperature of ignition and then coming into contact with oxygen. When I opened my eyes again, there was a ball of fire floating in front of my hand, even though I hadn't even read halfway through the words of the low-level magic, fireball.
But of course, because I was scared at that moment, the fire instantly made a small explosion, causing my hand to burn slightly.
I could use magic. According to what Slphia said, I shouldn't be able to use magic without the blessing of the church, but I could. Maybe the system had organized my mana veins while increasing my magical affinity, or maybe my mana veins had been in perfect shape since I was born.
This time I started reading the magic words without closing my eyes and at the same time I imagined the same thing as the previous time. A small flame started to float in front of my hand and I could hardly stop myself from screaming with excitement.
As soon as the small flame appeared, I continued reading the magic words. The magic words ended after a while, but the flame floating in front of my hand did not disappear. I could feel the shape of the flame as clearly as if I was holding it in my hand and I could shape it as I wanted.
As I continued to read the incantation, I could feel an energy in my body slowly leaving my body and merging into a fireball. When I had a little theory in my mind, I released the magic and it hit the trunk of a tree some distance away from me and created a small explosion.
I started to cast the same spell again, but this time I imagined my mana move as I cast it and I didn't recite any magic words.
I screamed with joy as I looked at the ball of flame floating in front of my hand. I couldn't even suppress my own excitement anymore, even Slphia read the magic words while using magic, but I had already made a fireball without reading the magic words with just a few attempts.
After celebrating my own ability for a few minutes, I started to use the other magic in the magic book with a strange excitement in my heart.
I first used a water ball of the same level as the fireball and after the fifth try I managed to leave the magic words. I learned a few more magic spells until I lost my excitement.
After learning around ten low-level elemental magics, there were no elemental magics left in the book. When I looked at the rest of the magic spells, I realized that they were all strange things.
After hesitantly muttering the words of a magic spell called flower field, the snow under the tree in the direction of my outstretched hand split open to reveal small white flowers.
I read the names of the magic in the book and checked if there were any interesting magic in there. After a while I managed to find the kind of magic I was looking for, a magic for protection from the cold. - heat shield -
"Kami ni kansha shimasu, hi no megami sorona wa, kono samui hibi ni watashitachi o hitori ni shimasendeshita. Mori, atatame, katachi o totonoe, yawarakaku shi, samu-sa to tatakai, watashi o kakomi, watashi o mamotte kureru hi
Heat shield!!! "
This time the mana in my body left my body not through my hand, but everywhere at the same time, creating an orange shield around me. As the snow inside the shield slowly melted, I felt like I was under the summer sun.
Even after I took off the thick jacket I was wearing, it felt extremely hot inside the shield, I closed my eyes and focused on the mana flowing from my body to the shield and wanted to reduce the amount a little bit, but before I could reduce the amount, I witnessed the mana in my body completely depleted.
When the heat shield broke, the cold air began to attack my sweaty body mercilessly. I prayed to the goddesses of this world that the abilities given by the system would not work with mana and activated my storage space ability.
The snowy world around me suddenly disappeared and I was greeted by a landscape of endless flat land stretching into infinity.
After throwing my magic book in a random corner, I picked up the towel lying on the floor a little away from me and started wiping the sweat off my body.
*coughing sound* *sniffling sound*
"Ahhhh fuck. I'm already sick, I have to go to my master before I go home. I left the house telling my mom I was going to see my master. She might suspect me if I come back sick."

Before I could read the text on the system screen, a book appeared in the air and I reflexively caught it in the air.
After reading the system screen, I tilted my head and read the inscriptions on the swordsmanship book in my hands.
- THE INVISIBLE SWORDSMANSHIP OF THE SWORD EMPEROR -
After looking through the book with the cool title a few times, I threw it behind me and left my storage area. Who wants to spend their life as a swordsman when they can be a magician who can cast cool spells. Besides, I still have a main mission to do.
