[Ding, detected a situation near the host where the Paternal System could be put into action. Temporary mission issued: use the Levitation Charm on Neville, then pretend to run out of magic midway through the spell and stop casting. Catch Neville while riding a broom.] [Ding, upon completing the mission, receive Neville's gratitude (you can gain fifty percent of the knowledge Neville learns). Would the host like to accept?]
What?
This worked!
Although Darren felt that Neville might only come into his own later on, with little chance of showing much promise early on. He probably would not learn much in the beginning.
But helping others was the duty of a little Paternal Figure like him!
Mm.
[Accept!]
Reckless Lion!!
After accepting the mission, Darren looked up.
Neville was flying really high.
For a moment, Darren could not even see where Neville had flown to.
Fortunately, the next second, he saw Neville plummeting rapidly from high in the air.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
Darren pulled out his wand, pointed it at Neville, and shouted.
Hiss.
The moment he finished shouting, he froze.
Not from embarrassment, but because—this was way too draining on his magic!
The system had initially given him 100 magic, and Darren had never increased it since.
However, no matter how much of that 100 magic he used, it would automatically refill the next day.
It neither increased nor decreased.
Darren had tried to use it all up, but he simply could not.
Even after practicing first-year spells with his wand for an entire day, he could not exhaust it.
That was when he realized that, compared to an ordinary first-year student, his magical reserves were absolutely enormous.
Yet while saving Neville, his magic was continuously draining away, dropping to fifty in the blink
