This is Kurt Von Ritzburg. It's been more than a month since I got reincarnated in this anime world. And I have come to accept a very hard fact.

And that is I am not talented in magic!

Magic. The strongest power in this world. And here I am panting like a dog to replenish the magic power.

"That's it. I can't do it anymore."

I thought of creating wonders out of my hand and become on par with the protagonist, but here I am facing the harsh reality.

"No wonder, Kurt couldn't join S class even after becoming demon."

Even after the experiment, though Kurt's magic power increased by a huge margin, he was still not qualified for S class. This is the first time I am feeling so helpless.

"What more can I do?"

After wiping out my sweat, I sat down and started to think out my options. My lack of talent doesn't come from magic itself, but from more fundamental factor of magic – Magic Power.

To cast a magic, one needs two essentials. First is "Magic Power" and the second is "Imagination."

Imagination. It means to imagine the magic I need to cast. For example, if I want to cast fireball. Then I have to imagine a fireball. What is a fireball? I have to imagine a fire and that to be in a ball form. And that's how magic can be formed. The more concreate image I can form in my mind, the more powerful and faster I can cast it.

Those who can't imagine properly use chants to cast magic. But do I need it? With my ideas from modern world and from the knowledge of the plot, I can cast all that magic of protagonist without any chants.

But the problem is that I don't have that much magic power to cast that powerful magic.

Magic Power is the fuel to magic. No matter the powerful magic I know, I need sufficient amount to cast it. That's why it's the first essential.

And I don't have the natural reserve of magic power in my body unlike the protagonist or other talented magic users.

"But it doesn't mean I can't cast magic at all."

There is a limit to my magic, but it doesn't mean I can't cast at all. In simpler form, I have a level cap of 30 compared to level cap of 100.

"I can't cast flashy and too destructive magic like protagonist. But to become strong, do I need flashy and destructive magic?"

I couldn't help but question myself. I can get the reason to wield such magic. Such magic shows the true raw strength unlike complex magic. It's like to deal with any enemy, use one spell and boom! All is over.

It's cool. But… Do I have to follow that?

"Ha-ha-ha! I am such an idiot!"

I threw the towel and stood up again with bright eyes. I can see the path ahead of me. The helplessness I felt for days has vanished.

"Me and follow the protagonist? I am the villain! And I need to make my own magic."

What if the protagonist has flashy and destructive magic? As long I can win against anyone, I am the strongest.

And to win, one doesn't need to have flashy and destructive magic.

This is Kurt Von Ritzburg. It's been more than two months since I got reincarnated in this anime world. And just like previous talk, I have come to accept another hard fact.

And that is I am super talented in martial arts!

"Fuck!"

I looked at the gush of wind after my sword strike. Even there is a light trace of strike on the ground due to the pressure of wind coming from my sword.

"How did it happen?"

It was just a normal morning. But the only difference was the carriage that came to visit our house. It was nothing new since I have seen quite many of them in this small span of time, but this one was special.

There was an insignia on it, and it was accompanied with knights. The another most sought profession after magicians and enchanters.

"A noble? Who is it?"

I didn't give much importance to it. After all, one of the best perks of being a child is to be selfish and don't give shit about anyone else. But still there was something that caught my eye.

Knights.

Just like Magicians and Enchanters, Knights are quite sought position in the eyes of masses. And for most people it is more realist approach to make it big and live well and reputable life.

"Wasn't the protagonist trained by the Sword Saint?"

Sword Saint Michel Collins. He is the former commander of Knight Order of Earlshide Kingdom and is known as Sword Saint due to him being unrivalled with a sword.

'Damn! I am so jealous of the protagonist!'

The connections of the protagonist makes me super jealous. He is adopted by the Sage by luck and his grandma is the Guru and he is also trained by the Sword Saint. He is under the tutelage of all three maxed characters of different professions.

"If I defeat him… Hehehe…"

I couldn't help but smile thinking the moment I defeat him. That look… It will truly mean that I overcame all three maxed characters. And when people know of him being defeated despite taught by all three of them….

"No. Why am I thinking?"

It seems becoming a villain is not good for me. Even my thoughts are turning more and more villain.

Well, after that with a hint of curiosity, I thought of trying a sword. The protagonist was taught of it, but he hardly used it. And knights against true magicians… It's more like a joke to compare both of them.

And I took a wooden sword and went to my private training ground and tried to use the sword. And I didn't know any moves, so I tried the most basic ones.

Thrust. Swing. Strike.

And…

"Fuck!"

The aftermath surprised me. It's said when you find your talent, you will feel a jolt running throughout the body. And I could feel it.

The sword is calling me. And this is the moment I knew what to specialize in. If my magic level cap is 30, then my martial arts level cap is 150.

"A single sword and it destroys everything in its path."

What if protagonist has flashy and destructive magic? I have the flashy and destructive swordsmanship.

"I will not become a magician. I will become the one everyone want to become but can't – A Magic Swordsman."
