Hey...
...Master.
If one of this world's magicians...
...came to you saying that they wanted to become your assistant, what would you do?
What?!
Has a volunteer appeared already?!
No, nobody has.
I said "What would you do?" And you've got some cream on your cheek.
It's not as though it's impossible. I was afraid of my current lifestyle crumbling around me.
But I cannot give my master what I believe she wants the most.
Because I cannot use magic.
I tried training alone at night, in secret.
But my fingertips can't light a lamp, and running water just slips through my fingertips.
All I can manage is "pseudo-magic" that borrows the power of science...

"Pseudo". False. An imitation. How could it hope to stand in the face of real magic?
Perhaps if we were in a world where nobody could do such things, it would have been okay to stay like this forever.
But in a world where everyone can do these things, me alone being unable...
...It's the same as saying that I'm the only one who is lacking, that I'm the only one who is inferior.
Really...
With an assistant who can use magic, your research would progress faster...
...than it would with an assistant who can't use magic. I was just thinking that...
...that would be nice.
Well...
That may be true.
