"Sh-should we begin...?"

"Yes. Please proceed."

We were at the back of a mountain not too far from Valharat Castle.
Standing before a massive lake, Reika and I were conducting an experiment of sorts.

"T-then...!"

Closing her eyes, Reika conjured a fireball in her hand once more.
I checked the rapier in my grip.

...No reaction.

'What’s going on?'

No matter how long I waited, nothing seemed to change.

I turned to Reika and decided to go over the situation.

"That’s enough, Miss Reika. I don’t think we need to go any further."

"Ah, y-yes…!"

Reika easily dispelled the fireball from her hand.

What I had wanted to test just now was whether this rapier, if it truly functioned as a magic amplifier, would activate regardless of the circumstances.

And I had just received my answer.

Coming all the way to the lake in case of any unexpected results had turned out to be pointless.
Honestly, I had anticipated this outcome to some degree. If the weapon had reacted to magic, it should have shone when Reika demonstrated her abilities in front of me.@@novelbin@@

If there were conditions, then what exactly were they?

I considered asking Reika, but since this wasn’t directly tied to national affairs, her answer would likely be something vague like "I don’t know."

"Um..."
