Chapter 004: The Female Knight and Using Magic

The Female Knight and Using Magic is the fourth chapter of the How to Treat a Lady Knight Right manga series.

Summary
Houli asks Leo if she can use magic. She replies by saying she never needed it since she just cuts down all of her enemies. But Houli says that magic might come in handy and offers to teach Leo. However, She reveals that she can use magic and proceeds to demonstrate. The boy is impressed at first but becomes worried when the knight uses high level Explosion Magic on herself. To his surprise, she comes out of the flames with barely any injuries and brushes it off. Houli uses Recovery Magic on her while thinking about the potential of the explosion he just witnessed. He then grabs Leo's hand. She gets defensive and blushes but the mage explains he's adjusting her magic flow and tells her to use the ability now. She produces a huge flame which Houli praises her for. The knight smiles in a smug manner. The boy suggests they should practice more. Leo notices he's grabbing her hand very tightly and gets angry. However, he explains that he needs to do this to control the magic flow. As he gets closer, the knight gets more and more irritated. The narrator mentions that Leo unconsciously likes the serious gaze in Houli's eyes. The Sacred Sword is almost at her limit of embarrassment and breaks when she touches noses with Houli. She proceeds to cast Explosion Magic on par to what a grand mage would cast.
