IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH SMARTPHONE AND SYSTEM

After eating breakfast and talking with his family James went to his room as he tried to remember about the Fat butler of his house who was sweating hard when he refused to drink/eat the chicken soup.

As James was thinking hard he remembered that the butler came around two months ago when He was taken as apprentice by the present Magic King.

Then he remembered that the same person was the one who cooked his food after their previous cooked died mysteriously 2 months ago. His name was Gilbert, a commoner and a relative of the previous cook. This was the reason he was chosen as the cook directly.

After Finding about this he started to think should he reveal him or wait till he get a bit stronger and after a lot of thinking he thought of an idea which can only be implemented tonight if nothing goes wrong.

After that he opened his Akashik Records and search for various low cost magic as he started learning them or their chantless version as he didn't want to look like a fool in the future tournament of power.

He learnt the lowest level Magic for Fire, Ice and lightening and these magic can only slightly injure Low Level Goblins at most and He could shot only few of them as rest required a lot of Mana and deep understanding of the subject.

He then went to back garden when everyone was busy in their work and started practicing magic

"ICE MAGIC: ICE NEEDLES" James used short chant for the Magic and only a Single Needle, Truly a needle used for stitching clothes sized needle attacked to the nearest tree as the needle broke at touch.

James was truly stunned after seeing his Magic being that weak.

He tried a bit more until success

"ICE MAGIC: ICE NEEDLES" Five Needles a bit bigger and firmer in size started forming around him as they attacked the nearest tree only leaving a few scratch on it.

After that he exhausted his mana and went to bed to take rest and cry at his weakness. Though he didn't knew that the scratch it looked like made small holes in the tree which was impossible for most of kids his age and even above his age.

JUST BEFORE DINNER

His Father came into his room and told him that he talked with the Head Knight Captain about his training

" James I talked with Sir Belstion and he agreed to train you, Your training will start fron tomorrow morning so rest well as he likes to Train early Morning and How Early?, that you are going to find tomorrow" and went back to his room after saying such.

Again During The Dinner He used his skill Observation which was now lvl 3.

FLASBACK

DURING AFTERNOON

We can see our protagonist going to the Kitchen while humming

" Hey, Gilbert" Our little hero took the cool's attention while cheerfully jumping and acting like the kid he was... at least from the outer appearance.

" Yes, Young Master How can I help you?" Gilbert asked while internally thinking ' What a drag? now I need to entertain a kid, hmpph'

"Young Master why didn't you drink you chicken soup during breakfast? I was heartbroken" When both thought at the same time ' Nice acting' but James lengthen a bit by adding ' but it can't fool me'.

" I wanted to drink it as it is my favourite but it's colour looked different and nowadays it's taste too was getting a bit bitter like eating some sort of plant" James said in a childish yet serious way which resulted in Gilbert's sweating profusely.
