And so, instead of going into the room to sleep, I went out to the yard for a while.

Originally, I was just thinking about sleeping deeply, but seeing Sylvia talk made me think that I might have to face a real battle soon, so it would be good to practice in advance.

And so, I tried using magic.

I understood the basics of the first magic, but apart from using the flame magic called Flame Wind, I hadn’t actually tried any magic.

So, practicing outside was necessary.

Theory and practice are different.

This place was a three-story mansion a little away from the city.

If I used magic moderately, there would be no magic visible elsewhere.

“So… flame magic…”

I had used Flame Wind, one of the flame magics, but it wasn’t that difficult.

It’s like casting it as it is when you think about it.

But controlling the output was a bit difficult.

So, it was necessary to adjust it finely… I felt like I had to try it out.

I put the mana into the spell in my head.

And then-

Whoosh-

The wind of fire struck the air strongly.

“I didn’t control this.”

It wasn’t that strong because it was a technique in the first book of basic magic.

Maybe I had to get a more advanced book to cast stronger magic.

But I didn’t feel like going that far.

Based on the information I got from the gallery, it was said that it was very difficult to obtain advanced magic books.

You had to have connections with the royal family to get them.

Thinking that, I put mana into the spell delicately to prevent mana from leaking out as much as possible.

It’s like coloring.

“Talking about coloring makes it look like there’s nothing much.”

But it was true.

How well you put mana into the predetermined spell determined the level of a wizard.

The more complex the spell, the harder it was to put mana into it without leaking out.

“So… like this here.”

I used the spell of Flame Wind again.

And then-

Whoosh-!

The flame, which seemed several times larger than before, flew away-

And suddenly, due to the sudden wind, it headed towards the mansion.

And after a while.

“…Oops.”

I guess I had to be prepared for some trouble.

*

Dawn.

I lay down on the bed for myself, but sleep didn’t come easily today.

Because there was someone of the opposite sex in the mansion?

Not at all.

The reason I couldn’t sleep was one.

Achievement.

It was an emotion I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Every time the wizards around me told me to raise a disciple, I answered, “What disciple?” But the disciple’s learning ability was so outstanding that it felt like raising one.

“…Faster than me.”

I had learned magic with tremendous talent since coming to this world, but the disciple was growing faster than that.

But there was one problem.

It didn’t seem like he was working hard.

“I finished it in three days.”

Even though I finished the Basic Magic I that took three days in just one day, he didn’t seem pleased.

As if learning magic was bothersome.

I couldn’t understand that attitude at all.

“Can learning magic be not fun?”

Putting mana into the spell, creating a new spell, can that not be fun?

Just watching it was fun.

Thinking that, I got up from the bed for a moment, sat on the chair, and looked outside.

But-

“Hmm?”

I could see a man with black hair coming out.

“He’s not the type to work hard like that.”

It had only been a day since I saw the disciple, but I had already figured out people.

A person with talent but no will.

That was the disciple.

But practicing outside early in the morning.

It could be said that it was tempting fate.

But then.

Whoosh-

The disciple using Flame Wind in the air.

“Hmm, he’s good.”

It could definitely be said that he had exceptional talent.

He was more talented than me.

Thinking he was amazing, I watched over the disciple.

But then.

Hwarruk-!

The disciple once again used the Flame of Fury, and it swept through the mansion, striking it with the force of the wind.

Fortunately, it didn’t reach the inhabited second floor.

“..I guess I’ll have to make the exam difficult tomorrow.”

He made a small vow for revenge.

How dare he set the house on fire.

*

Practicing magic in the early hours of the morning, he slightly scorched the first-floor wall with fire and quickly returned to the second floor to lie down on the bed.

But sleep did not come.

Perhaps because the corners of his conscience were too sharp.

Unable to sleep, he logged into the gallery.

Who will be there today?

[Today’s mage fan panties black…jpg][5]

[Running in the early hours ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ][2]

[It’s quiet because it’s dawn..]

[Mages who are practically morning now are a joke ㅋㅋ][9]

As he looked through the posts, he found an intriguing one and clicked on it.

[Title: Mages who are practically morning now are a joke ㅋㅋ]

[Content: Mages whose day and night have switched and do this as a daily routine, should we joke around with them a bit?]

[Recommend: 13] [Not Recommend: 28]

L: Why is this not recommended?

N: It’s a scam, damn it.

N: Seriously, it’s a scam.

L: I hope those mage losers get soul-raped by the Neck, it’s my long-standing wish.

Die Illegally: I’ll track you down with a location-tracking spell, you piece of shit.

N: Yeah, if you’re at that level, you’ve already escaped from here.

Die Illegally: Damn ㅋㅋ

“Um..”

It seemed appropriate to leave a comment.

So he left a comment.

L: I hope those mage losers get soul-raped by the Neck, it’s my long-standing wish.

Die Illegally: I’ll track you down with a location-tracking spell, you piece of shit.

N: Yeah, if you’re at that level, you’ve already escaped from here.

N: Seriously a piece of shit: What do you mean by “already escaped from here”?

Soon after leaving the comment, a reply came.

Maybe everyone was up at dawn.

They seemed good at leaving comments.

Thinking that, he checked the comments.

N: Seriously a piece of shit: What do you mean by “already escaped from here”?

Die Illegally: Mages who transcend can use dimensional magic to go to Earth, so if you have the skill to track someone on the gallery, you’ve already escaped from here.

“..Is that true?”

He knew this.

Because Sylvia had told him.

So he left another comment.

It was a nuisance, but there was nothing as certain as asking a mage.

Of course, he had heard it from Sylvia, but there was nothing as certain as cross-checking.

N: Seriously a piece of shit: So everyone is a mage? Why are there people doing martial arts?

After leaving the comment, there was an immediate response.

Die Illegally: Those who do martial arts are all idiots, and mages don’t do it if they don’t have talent.

N: Oh.

No wonder.

So that’s why everyone wasn’t doing magic.

Nevertheless, he learned a slightly shocking fact.

‘But more importantly..’

If you transcend, you can go to Earth through dimensional magic.

It might be a rumor, but that Gonik was a very famous mage on the gallery.

So the likelihood of him lying was low.

Of course, he had heard it from Sylvia before, but now that he had cross-checked, it was certain.

“Is transcendence possible?”

Transcendence was a higher level than a grand mage.

So far, it was said that no grand mage had ever transcended.

But judging by the mage’s reactions, there seemed to be a mage who had transcended.

So if you transcend, you can return to Earth through dimensional magic.

With that thought in mind, he left a final comment.

N: Seriously a piece of shit: I already knew everything, but thanks.

And then he closed the gallery.

I’ve found out everything I wanted to know.

“Oh, big deal.”

In truth, I didn’t need to pay attention to things like transcendence or whatever.

I had just finished the basics of magic, so that was enough for me.

The concept of ‘transcendence’ was too distant for me.

With that thought in mind, I fell asleep.

I wonder how much time had passed.

Chirp chirp-

I woke up to the sound of birds outside.

I wanted to go back to sleep, but once I was awake, I couldn’t fall back asleep.

So, I got out of bed and headed downstairs.

I wanted to eat.

As I made my way downstairs in a daze, I saw Sylvia was already there.

“Oh, hello.”

“…Oh.”

Sylvia was already eating.

Since it was boring to just eat, I decided to strike up a conversation with Sylvia.

“Um..”

“Did you set the fire yesterday?”

“How did you know..?”

She seemed to have set it very quietly.

I was curious how she found out.

As I looked at Sylvia with that questioning gaze-

“There are boundary and protection spells on the mansion. Of course, I would know.”

I didn’t know that fact.

First, I felt like I should apologize.

So, I immediately apologized.

“Um.. I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose, I was just practicing.”

After apologizing, Sylvia chuckled and spoke.

“If you’re that sorry, why don’t you go buy something in town as a way to make it up.”
