Challenge

The young woman suddenly lifted my nimble body, which still couldn't move properly.

Then, she raised her clothes without any hesitation, exposing her chest.

I was taken aback. However, my body started to move on its own despite of my thoughts.

Sip

I did just what it sounded like.

Meaning, I unhesitatingly nibbled on her chest and sucked it with all my might, apart from my own will.

As if reacting to the strong sucking, a tasty and fascinating liquid overflew from her body and passed through my throat.

I continued to drink the milk, the source of my existence, gulping it down until I was satisfied.

I finally understood, now that I was getting full.

That this woman was my mom.

Such a beautiful and young woman was a mother….

Reincarnating in another world was indeed the best!

So, I somehow started my new life as a baby. But, there was something that was weighing my mind.

It was the existence of 'magic'.

As far I could see, there were nothing like lights in the room I stayed in.

It was probably because lights were usually emitted by magic.

Or so it was.

Perhaps, it was common to use magic in this world.

In other words, I might be able to use magic as well.

Even my heart was getting warm just by thinking that.

I was thrilled just by imagining myself mastering magic.

Should I try it immediately?

"Aa..uhh-"

I tried to shove my tiny palm up and recite "Illuminate."

Yet, reality is ruthless.

I couldn't spell the word at all.

I attempted to cast magic over and over, but after all, I ended up with failure.

My mother noticed that I was babbling in a cute voice. The moment she came over and started to soothe me, my magic challenge was over.

How regretful.

***

After that, I repeatedly drinking milk and went sleeping.

I had attempted to cast magic several times since then, but there was no sign that it would work at all.

Rather, I hadn't even gotten a single clue.

Therefore, I decided to change my approach for once.

Fortunately, I had many opportunities to see my family using their magic right in front of me.

My pronunciation needed work too, but the first thing to do was to learn how to cast magic.

As I thought so, I decided to carefully observe the moment when they cast their magic.

Just how many days had passed since then?

Although I hadn't been successful in using magic yet, I managed to noticed one thing.

Apparently, some kind of 'energy' was needed to utilize magic.

To make it easier to understand, should I call that energy as mana?

My mother used light magic just like she was pressing on a light bulb switch. But she couldn't seem to achieve that just by chanting.

Every single time, just a few second after she raised her finger and chanted "Illuminate".

I saw some kind of 'energy' came up from her body at that time.

There wasn't any prove, but it was probably mana being drawn out.

As it came to this, it might be necessary to go through the proper order to use magic.

First, I needed to find mana that slept deep inside me.

After all, my vocal cords hadn't developed yet for casting magic spells.

Wouldn't it be fun to find my mana and train it thoroughly?

With that, I decided to devote my days to train my mana.
