Chapter 4: I Started Testing My Skills - Part 1
“Shuu, are you awake?”
My father’s voice came from the other side of the door, waking me up.
Sunlight was streaming through the gap in the curtains.
When I got home yesterday and used Spatial Teleportation Magic, it was already evening.
That means…
“Shuu?”
“Ah, yeah! I’m awake.”
“You were asleep the whole time yesterday. Are you feeling alright?”
“…Yeah, I think I’m fine.”
“Alright. I’m heading to work now, so don’t overdo it.”
“Got it.”
I heard my father’s footsteps as he went down the stairs.
It looks like even if my level increases, I still need to be careful with my limits—otherwise, I might end up collapsing again like yesterday.
“…Oh, right.”
I walked over to the trash bin in the corner of my room and peeked inside.
Sure enough, the empty sports drink bottle I teleported yesterday was there.
"Status."

“Oh, my level jumped to 13!”
Looks like I’ve figured out how to level up efficiently.
Now, the next issue is…
Guuuuu…
Right when I was deep in thought, my stomach growled loudly.
…Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since last night.
Guess I should eat breakfast first before doing anything else.
With that thought, I stepped out of my room—
“Ah.”
“Oh.”
—just in time to run into my little sister, Kana, who was about to enter the room next door.
“G-Good morning, Kana.”
“…Morning.”
She responded, but her expression was clearly irritated.
Then, without another word, she slammed the door shut behind her.
…Well, I did cause a lot of trouble for her while I was in the hospital.
Can’t really blame her for being upset.
Feeling a bit down, I made my way to the living room.
That’s when I noticed the bathroom door had been left wide open.
Either Dad or Kana must’ve forgotten to close it.
I reached out to shut it, but then—
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
The bathroom is connected to the bathtub.
That means I can safely test out my new "Water Magic" there.
Without hesitation, I kicked off my socks and stepped inside.
But before doing anything reckless, I should check first.
"Appraisal."
―――
Target: Skill [Water Magic]
- Effect: Allows the caster to generate water using magic.
- Status: Skill Level 1/10
- Note: —
The information displayed was… surprisingly vague.
Looks like I won’t know much unless I actually test it out.
"…Water Magic."
I whispered quietly so Kana wouldn't hear me from the second floor.
Immediately, a small sphere of water appeared in my palm, and a thin stream shot out like a water gun, tracing an arc before landing in the bathtub.
…Huh.
This is way weaker than I expected.
"Status."

The MP cost was only 5—which is pretty low.
Actually, considering how weak that was, it might even be too high.
I thought this skill would be useful, but… did I make a mistake?
I was expecting a powerful surge of water, like a flash flood, but this is just… disappointing.
Just as that thought crossed my mind—
"Whoa?!"
Suddenly, the water sphere swelled until it was as big as my body, and the water output skyrocketed.
This… this is exactly what I imagined!
At the same time, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me.
Panicked, I immediately stopped casting Water Magic, and the giant water sphere burst apart with a splashing roar.
Still breathing heavily, I checked my Status again.

What the hell?
Just now, I burned through nearly 50 MP in an instant.
Before, it only cost 5 MP, but this time…?
“…Water Magic.”
I focused on recreating the initial, weaker version of the spell.
Then, I checked my Status again—

This time, I only lost 5 MP.
…What the hell is going on?
"Hey."
"?!?!"
Just as I was deep in thought, a sudden voice startled me.
I turned around—Kana was standing there, looking at me with an exasperated expression.
"That was a really loud noise. What were you doing?"
"Ah… I, uh… kinda spaced out and messed up with the shower…"
"…You didn’t hurt yourself or anything, right?"
"N-No, of course not."
"…I see. Well, as long as you're okay."
With that, Kana walked away.
…Is she actually worried about me?
Oh, right.
I was on my way to eat breakfast.
For now, I pushed the mystery of my skill to the back of my mind and headed for the kitchen.
