"―Controlling magic energy?"
Asking that as if he didn't quite understand what I was talking about, I responded with a firm nod.
"Yes. Despite what Lucretia might have told you, I really only came into possession of it just recently, so I haven't learned how to control it yet."
"...For now, I have already decided I'm not going to question how you went from possessing no mana to possessing it, but I can already see it flowing around your body to enhance you, and rather smoothly at that. And yet you can't control it... You mean to tell me that wasn't your doing? That was natural for you?"
'Hm? Oh, he can probably see that sort of stuff 'cause he's a mage, right?'
"Yeah. Why? You make it sound like it's not normal."
Right after I said that, Joádin frowned, and though his mouth remained firmly shut, it felt like I could read his mind in that moment, hearing something along the lines of 'that doesn't sound right...'
