My Daily Life In Magic Academy's

Chapter 32 Searching for Information

Without feeling it, time passed so quickly. It's been two weeks since we decided to help Raihan.

In that period of time, we were either empty or at rest, conducting experiment after experiment with Raihan's magic. During these two weeks, I literally racked my brain to find answers to the weirdness that happened when Raihan used his magic against Android a few weeks ago.

There aren't many hypotheses I can make from the results of that experiment. At least I got some that might be one of them giving a definite answer to the problem. While I was thinking about it, my other classmates were also trying to help Raihan in overcoming his problem, which was controlling his magic energy. Although I say friends, the only one who really helped Raihan in controlling his magic energy was Alexandria, who as a result of practice time he was second best after me.

For the practice of controlling magic energy that Alexandria taught Raihan the same as taught by teacher Robert, which is to use basic magic as a medium.

But the training we did to Raihan was like nothing. Because within these two weeks, he showed absolutely no significant development. The sticks only managed to make a water ball. Well, we can teach it, because it's only been two weeks of training like this, of course he will not show meaningful development. If in the previous case, where he could not create a water ball due to an error during the Carlania Particle input, now Raihan has overcome that problem, he can create a water ball well. For the next stage, it seems that he was in trouble, where he could not control the water ball when it was pressed into the air. The next stage, of course, goes to the core problem, which is controlling magic energy.

"We'll rest for a while." Said Alexandria to Raihan who was exhausted. His sweat filled his forehead and his breath was already wheezing. Learning to control magic energy can be more exhausting than running a hundred meters for 5 rounds. It's only natural that he's exhausted.

Today is Wednesday, the third hour of study. It could be said this is a special hour for class A, doing self-study. So we have plenty of time until noon class to train Raihan. The time period he exercised was 15 minutes, then rested for 5 minutes. We repeated that cycle while training Raihan, for an hour of training time.

"How's it?" Ask Alexandria who walked up to me at rest.

"To be honest I was happy in the first three days we trained him. In that period of time he was able to make a water ball perfectly. But after..."

"No progress?"

"Mm.." Nod Alexandria to my question with a disappointed face.

Why is Raihan so bad at controlling magic energy? The more we train it the more mysteries we encounter. There must be something I missed here, something so crucial... Something that is at the root of our problem.

A few days later, on Saturday. In a cafe.

After thinking for the past few days, I found the missing answer to Raihan's problem. I don't know anything about his family.

All I know is that, like all the high-class witch families, the Raihan family has strict rules in their family. But it is a common problem that can be encountered in other high-class witch families, for the Raihan family problem itself, I assume that he has a special problem in his family.

For that reason I would like to explore more information about Raihan's relationship with his family, how his family motto is, and also how Raihan's family treats him. But since there was no way I could ask such a crucial question to Raihan, I chose to ask the person who knew Raihan for so long. Thas right. There was only one person close to him, which was Dani. Raihan's Friend.

"Actually... I don't want to talk about Raihan's family without his permission. But if this is really important for her magic practice, I'll tell you, as long as you can keep this secret from anyone."

The waiter brought us the dishes we ordered. I ordered a shortcake with hot chocolate, Natasha ordered a muffin cake with a capuccino, Alexandria ordered pancakes with black coffee, then Dani ordered a heavy meal of pasta with manga fruit juice. Each one of us ate our meal a mouthful, after which Dani talked about the conditions for him to provide information about the Raihan family. Fortunately the conditions that Dani gave were not too heavy, just instructing us not to tell anyone what we were talking about.

We agree with Dani's terms. He ate some mouthfuls of the paste, washed his mouth with mango juice before he finally spoke of the Raihan family.

"The Adaka family, is a high-class family in the world of jihad in this country. In the decades since the family was formed, the Adaka family has given birth to many talented witches. One example is Raihan's father, a former high-ranking state official, and the talent is now passed down to Raihan's two older brothers. A child can use magic that is inherited. They also get high-paying jobs. His first brother got a position in the government, his second brother became a researcher in the field of technology...."

Dani added, out Adaka has the motto 'strength.' meaning, the Adaka family upholds the strength they have, does not tolerate weak people in their family. Since childhood, Raihan has been trained by his family hard to polish Raihan into a man who fits the motto. Should the Adaka family boys training only focus on physical training, and mental training as children, for magic itself should be learned when the Adaka family boys are in their teens.

But since Raihan's brother, a child who is gifted with magic, and has mastered magic since a young age, changed the Adaka family's training system. Raihan's father, seeing Raihan has the same talent as his brother in the field of magic. Therefore, as a child, Raihan was trained in a different way as children from previous generations. He has been trained how to use magic as a child, Raihan's father also did not escape from training physical and mental Raihan. But there are limits that a child can reach, little Raihan can't take all that training. Hard training that should give positive results, even give negative results for Raihan.

"As you may have guessed. Raihan who can not follow all the training, often sickly. He added that he could not use magic as a child, making it often used as a comparison with his two brothers. This made Raihan have a bad condition, both physically and mentally."

Actually Raihan has talent that is no less great than his two brothers. But due to the wrong upbringing of his parents, he could not develop his talent. In addition, Raihan's parents who expect Raihan to be someone who is the same as his two brothers, increasingly make Raihan's talent more pent up.

"Thank you for the deal Mira. Remember, don't tell anyone what I've told you." Dani has finished his meal, he has also told about the Raihan family, making him no other reason to stay in this cafe with the three girls. Danipun got up from his seat, walked out of the cafe, leaving me, Natasha and Alexandria.
