Ur lovingly stroked Sam’s cheek as she held back her tears.

「I love Sam with all my heart, as a teacher, as a family mber, and as a man and a woman.」

Taking her hand, Sam tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

「I’m so lucky to have t Sam. I loved him so much that I would have given him a baby if I could. If only I had known sooner that I had so much ti left, I wouldn’t have hesitated to ask for you.」

「……Ur…… , too, Ur.」

「I knew. But I was a coward and pretended not to notice. I thought that Sam didn’t deserve a woman who was going to leave him one day.」

The tears finally spilled over.

Once they broke down, the tears would not stop.

「It’s not like that. Ur is everything to . Without Ur, I’m, i…」

Sam’s tears soaked his cheeks and Ur’s hands.

「Don’t cry, Sam, I t you when you were a child. You’ve beco a man. I’m more than happy to see you like this. But I have unfinished business.」

「What unfinished business?」

「―――I want Sam to inherit everything I have.」

Sam nodded at his master’s words.

「Yes, I did. I wish I could have inherited everything from Ur.」

If only he had more ti, he could have mastered her skills.

Sam had thought that one day he would be able to learn her extensive magical skills and beco a great wizard.

He had never dread that illness would interfere with that.

「No. That’s not what I ant. I an what I say. I want you to have everything I have.」

「But you can’t do that.」

「If I had the ti, I would have raised you to the end of your life with my own hands. But I knew from the beginning that I didn’t have ti. Therefore, I devised a spell.」

「Wait, is that what you ant by making your successor?」

「…I didn’t tell Sam, but I knew I didn’t have ti.」

He had no idea that Ur had made such preparations.

Her magical abilities were impressive, but they were specialized in combat.

What kind of magic could such an Ur have created?

「I’ve developed magic that can only be used once―――Inheritance magic.」

「…Inheritance Magic.」

「I can pass on my magic, all the magic I’ve learned, and all my skills to Sam.」

「How is that even possible?」

If it is possible to inherit all of her, as Ur says, then the magic developed is unprecedented.

Many wizards would want it badly.

Many wizards have tried to preserve their skills.

Many of them have taken on apprentices or written grimoires to pass on their skills to future generations.

However, even so, what is ten will not be inherited by all ten.

Therefore, it was one of the biggest challenges for wizards to leave their magic―――their proof of life―――to future generations.

「It can be done. But just because you inherited it doesn’t an you can use it all, you need talent and skill. But Sam can do it. The last four years have convinced .」

「I’m going to inherit all of Ur?」

「Sam is blessed with talent and magic. Only ti will tell. I’m sure you’ll have no problem using everything I’ve inherited.」

「Wait, wait, Ur! You’re kind of talking on the assumption that I will inherit it, but first, doctor, you’ve had it for four years, you might still have ti!」

He was honestly glad that Ur was trying to pass everything on to him.

But more than that, he wished she was still alive.

「You’re a helpless child. I told you I know about my body.」

「but…」

「I’ve been aware of it for a long ti, you know. My taste buds have gone dull, my limbs have gone numb, I can’t breathe properly and I’ve lost my strength. It’s been hard to hide it from you.」

「So what?」

「Listen to , Sam. I’m glad you feel that way. I want to spend more ti with you and Sam if I can. But it’s no use if I’m too weak to use the inheritance magic. I won’t be able to trust you with everything I have.」

「―――Ur!」

「You’re not going to say you don’t want it, are you?」

「I’m not saying that! But more than that, I want to be with Ur!」

If he hadn’t taken over everything from Ur, he would have gladly abandoned it if it would have extended the ti she had left.

However, from her conversation with Ur, Sam could tell that she didn’t have much ti left.

Still, he would have liked to spend more ti with Ur if he could have.

He wondered if there was any way he could do that.

Ur gently hugged Sam, who could not stop crying.

「My dear Sam. You are the first disciple I ever fell in love with. I wish I could be alive with you. But as much as I do, I don’t want you to see visibly weaken. Then let die while I can still be .」
