What Varede really learned was mainly the general knowledge of this world. National geography, political landscape, local customs ...... In addition to that there was also the control and application of the wind of magic. Because this world's spiritual energy - or rather, the wind of magic - was much stronger than the world of Valed's previous life, so this world, perhaps very backward in other things, but the control of the wind of magic, as well as the development of schools of magic, was completely incomparable to Valed's. Just like before, Valed had only been able to control the wind of magic, but he had not been able to do so.

　　As if before, Valed only utilized the simple basic knowledge he had learned, together with his abundant and excessive magic power, to perform such a horrible trick last night. If he were to systematically learn the magic of this world, then his power would probably rise to a terrifying level.

　　Of course, just maybe.

　　While expecting that, Varede walked half a step ahead of Ms. Tracy and advanced towards his room. Afterward, he went to the study and sat down. There were two chairs that were comfortable to sit in, bookcases filled with various books on the basics, and two desks with pen and paper. There was also by the wall, on a weapon rack, a set of half plate armor cast to Vared's stature, and a matching sword and shield.

　　He and Trish both sat down facing each other. Then focused his full attention on her. Of course, it wasn't because Ms. Trish appeared delicate and charming and sexy. Rather, it was because Varede still remembered what Miss Tracy had said before she left after her class yesterday:

"Varede, your talent is quite good. It looks like the basics have been mastered. Then tomorrow, I will teach you something more practical."

　　Seeing Varede's expectant gaze, Miss Tracy naturally understood what he had in mind. So once again, she revealed a smile. Regardless of the race, being studious was a good thing.

　　"I've already taught you the basic concepts of magic before this, as well as the basic magic runes, and the rules of their arrangement. Do you still remember it now?"

　　“Of course.” Varede nodded, inevitably remembering last night, when he had pointed out the errors in the magic formations listed by his own sister, and couldn't help but give a slightly smug smile.

　　"Well, very well. There are several categories of magic in this world, and even more specific types of magic. And new magic is constantly being invented. But at the end of the day, magic categories or specific magic, they are all just applications for the winds of magic. Warlocks, witches, and wizards harnessed the magical winds in the air, manipulated them, sifted them, and shaped them ...... and then specific magic appeared.

　　Tens of thousands of years ago, in a time when civilization was just budding. The mages of that time were still in the dark about the world. Their means of using magic were also simple and primitive. When the wind of magic was condensed in the air, condensed, and condensed to the point where it could no longer be condensed, it was blasted out at the target. This is a completely simple, crude, and inefficient barbarian method."

　　Hearing his teacher say that, Varede blushed slightly. Because when he broke the tomb boundary yesterday, he used such a simple and crude barbarian tactic ......

That little expression of Varede's, Ms. Tracy didn't pay attention to. She continued, "Of course, with the continuous development of civilization. Nowadays, apart from those barbaric green-skinned orcs, and the Chaos Warlocks of the Northern Wasteland, as well as the ogres with insufficient intelligence, the Chaos Beastmen. There was no one doing that anymore. Whether it's the Divine Warrior Elves, the Dark Elves, the Wood Elves, the Dwarves or the Humans, we Vampires. And Chaos Demons. We all have more sophisticated ways of using magic.

　　We can further purify the winds of magic and compartmentalize the power contained within. This is how the factions of magic came to be. Civilization developed into that era, and as the theory of magic factions continued to be refined, there was a spurt in the development of magic. It ushered in an era of chaos, turbulence, but high speed development.

　　As that era continued, the various races that occupied a place in the world today also established their own spheres of influence. At the same time, magic developed further. The excellent wizards further harmonized the different categories of pure magic winds, making magic produce even richer variations.

　　In this way, under the main body of magic factions, various branches were born. And each branch was further divided into more subtle schools. Magic became more complex and diverse. It reached a point where even some short-lived species couldn't thoroughly study a faction even after a lifetime of exhaustion. What's more, the division of magic schools varies from country to country and race to race."

　　Saying this, Miss Tracy's lecture seemed to come to an end as she looked at Varede, then inquired, “So Varede, what school do you think you prefer, or rather, what category of magic do you think you are more suited for?”

　　“I don't know.” Varede answered quickly, and honestly.

　　“Very good answer.” Hearing Varede say that, Miss Tracy nodded her head and revealed a satisfied smile, "You're still young and haven't been exposed to too much magical knowledge. That's why the answer ‘I don't know’ couldn't be more appropriate. And I, too, hope that you will be able to keep this answer for a little longer. After all, your age is there, and you can make more attempts as well as considerations. Carefully pick out the path that suits you best."

　　“Yes, I understand what you mean.” Varede nodded, recognizing Miss Tracy's statement.

　　"Then next, there is another question. What kind of character do you want to be when you grow up? What kind of career?" Trish continued.

　　“When I grow up, I will inherit the Karstein family.” Varede furrowed his eyebrows in slight confusion. And then answered like this - all pretense, of course, a disguise to keep Miss Trish from being overly suspicious of herself, to make her understand that she was still a little kid.

　　“Not true.” Miss Tracy shook her head and said to Varede, "That's not what I meant, Varede. You will indeed inherit the Karstein family when you grow up. That is something that is already destined. But Count Karstein, this is your identity, not a profession. Profession, can you understand? As if I am a teacher, or a general in the army, or maybe you want to obtain a job in the Citizens' Assembly?"

　　Varede gave a dawning expression, followed by a somewhat perplexed meaning, “But does this have anything to do with the magical factions that, right now, we're discussing?”

　　“Of course it's relevant.” Miss Tracy further explained, "If it's a general race that has no magical talent, or a race that only has a small number of individuals with magical talent, the two are naturally unrelated. But if it's like us, where the entire race possesses magical talent, then there's a relationship between the future profession, and magic.

　　If you want to command battles, then strengthen your mastery of necromantic magic in order to control a larger, more advanced army. If you want to be a civil official. It's going to take more development of spirit magic. To increase the computing speed of the brain, and to make thinking more comprehensive. All of these things go hand in hand."

　　Varede nodded his head, indicating that he understood. At the same time, he began to think about his future. Then, immediately after that, he realized that what Miss Tracy had said didn't seem to be entirely correct.

　　“So, have you thought about it?” Seeing Varede's renewed confident smile, Miss Tracy then asked.

　　“I think that I should still be an earl.”

　　“I see what you mean.” Hearing Varede say that, Miss Tracy was slightly surprised for a moment, then reappeared with an even brighter smile than before, "But if you want to fulfill your wish, an earl seems to be completely insufficient. Or maybe what you want is the whole of Sylvania? You should know that it has been a long time since the kingdom has seen a duke."

　　Just as Varede hesitated whether to nod his head in acknowledgement and continue to boldly proclaim that “Sylvania is only the beginning as well.” Or perhaps to continue playing dumb, Miss Tracy instead leaned her body forward and tenderly embraced Varede in her arms.

　　“Poor and adorable little fool ......” she murmured in such a small voice, making Varede feel a little overwhelmed. At the same time, the hint of fragrance emanating from her body made Varede feel a little giddy. After an unknown amount of time like this, Miss Tracy let go of him. Unlike Varede's slightly blushing and shy behavior, Miss Tracy didn't look anything unusual at all.

　　"Well, since that's the case, I basically understand how I should teach you. The future Earl Kastenin-sama." Half-jokingly, Miss Tracy used honorifics when addressing Varede.

　　“Then, please.” In contrast, Varede also used honorifics, but appeared very solemn. It made Miss Tracy smile very pleasantly once again.

　　With this conversation completed and the teacher's heart in the right place, the next step was the formal lesson. The lessons had been arranged by Miss Tracy a long time ago. Varede suddenly realized that what he had heard so much before, what elemental affinity ah, suitable faction ah, future ideals and so on all seemed to be nonsense. The basics of the basics of the basics of the basics - what was being learned now could still only be the basics. Those higher level things, wait until some more years, Varede officially became a sorcerer then say it ......
