Prowkai city roadside. 

 

Im running away from the pedestrians as my face has become well known after the battle against that swordsman few days ago. 

 

But, another person managed to catch my tail. 

 

I have a request for the fighter, Eiji-san 

 

Theres some innocence left on his face under his berret-like hat, but the youth was watching me with determined eyes. 

 

Hes staring intently at me. 

 

Uhm, he just said that to me, as fighter Eiji. 

 

I mean, Im more or less still registered as a fighter. 

 

It smells like trouble When he said that he wants to put forward a request to me 

 

Though I dont want to know what it is, I feel that itll be too cruel for him if I reject his wish flatly without even listening first; so lets hear his story since if Im going to fulfill his wishes, Ill do it by fully comprehending it without leaving immediately. 

 

I saw your battle a few days ago. I dont know what hit me at that time, but that was an incredible battle 

 

Ah, thank you very much for your praise 

 

The truth is, I want to become a magician 

 

Eh, so thats the case 

 

Yes. Thus, you mightve known of the fact that theres a magic school in this city. Its quite famous around this area as the best place to learn magic 

 

Magic school. 

 

A~h, its that huh. 

 

The one that advertised to me when I was investigating. 

 

I see, maybe he wants me to go to that school. 

 

But, while Im ashamed to say this, the current me isnt that proficient in magic. Since that place is quite a famous one, you need considerable skills to actually enter it 

 

Hee~, there are such requirements huh. But it felt like that they were frantically trying to assemble enough students 

 

Yes. Anyhow, since they receive a vast number of students, they decided to gather the higher-leveled students via the method called careful selection. Therefore, the called people keep increasing, but the people who easily become dropouts are numerous too 

 

He~, thats quite the heartless way. 

 

As you continue following the path, youll eventually end up with disappointing results. What a trap. What a trauma factory. 

 

Thus, I cant enter with my own abilities. But, learning magic on my own is really difficult, and I dont even know when I will get the qualification to enter it. Even so, Im expecting that Ill identify my true ability soon by studying early 

 

When he said so, the youths clenching his fist. 

 

And then, says the following words with low and heavy voice. 

 

At that time, I saw Eiji beating the man who couldnt be defeated even by famous fighters using magic that I never saw. That time, I thought 

 

By this point, I realized by my own instinct. 

 

No, the feeling has come too late. 

 

In short, youre 

 

Yes, I want you to teach me about magic Please 

 

The youth is bowing deeply in front of me. 

 

Im having a slightly troubled expression when facing against that as I wait for him to raise his head. 

 

The youth raises his head a while later and looks at me with eyes that are eager for my answer. 

 

Im sorry, but strictly speaking and to be honest, thats impossible 

 

W-well, thats right. I do think that it is impressive or rather too sudden. But, I cant really think of what should I do 

 

At that time, I noticed that the people who were walking in the alley are looking with sidelong glances toward us. 

 

Maybe because hes not holding bac 

k with his loud voice, it cant be helped that their attention is directing toward us. 

 

But, since Ill be in trouble if people surround us, I beckon him and then come out of the back alley toward the big plaza with variegated vegetation. 

 

Im currently in quite a dangerous situation in this place. 

 

Its not like I dont want to teach you, but its impossible to teach you. Its the truth 

 

In any case, I clarify my statement after calming down a bit. The youth is tilting his head with puzzled face on hearing my response. 

 

You should know about class, right 

 

Ah, Yeah. Naturally, I know about it. Even the fact that my class isnt a magician. Even so, magic is systematized so that even ones without the class can learn it to some degree; the truth is, even the magic school is teaching the method to learn magic in that way, thus 

 

Well, calm yourself first. Thats where the problem is 

 

Thats 

 

Yeah. I know nothing about learning magic and only raised the level of my class. Thats why I cant teach you. Since, I dont understand it too 

 

The youths eyes opened wide when he heard my words. 

 

He must have been truly surprised, well it cant be helped since thats the truth. It might turn into a troublesome matter, since I dont even understand what to teach him in the first place. 

 

T-Thats impossible. You use such a wide variety of magic; its something unobtainable just with normal class. Even if your class is a magician 

 

But, Im telling the truth. You might think that Im lying though 

 

Ah, no, I am thinking in that manner 

 

The youth is showing an uncomfortable expression, but it becomes a surprised expression in the next moment. 

 

No way, you have multiple classes It must be the reason, right!? 

 

Well, thats correct. As for what class it is, its a trade secret 

 

Amazing Youre so amazing Though these kind of people arent that rare, Eiji-san is still too amazing Ah, my apologies. I was in such high spirits. But still, thats the reason huh. If that was the case, your dimension is completely different from mine since the very beginning. I was so naive for doing something like asking you to teach me 

 

 

 

When that realization dawns upon him, his merry spirit sinks in a moment. 

 

Maybe hes actually the type that possesses fairly extreme emotions. 

 

But, he seems a bit pitiable now. 

 

He should be okay if I can do something for him though. But it cant be done by me. 

 

Ah, thats right, how about this idea 

 

Yes 

 

It cant be helped that I cant do anything, but it should be okay if youre able to personally experience the enrolment of the school right Since youll take the application, therefore 

 

I-I cant do that you know. Itll become a laughing matter if its said by someone like me 

 

It should be okay since its not like youre their student 

 

Even if its for my own personal experience, theres something called a minimum level requirement 

 

Is it You can go to the library in the meantime and ask the teacher or student to teach you about magic; you can do various things, and record various things; if you train yourself later even if your personal experience has ended, I thought that its better than worrying endlessly 

 

But, the youth is shaking his head furiously upon hearing my self-proclaimed nice idea. 

 

 

 

Thats impossible for me. Maybe Ill be called as an incompetent person who cant do anything if I get enrolled in the school. No, Im sure thatll happen. If I think about the previous things carefully, its already painful just on hearing it 

 

I see, I see. 

 

Well, itll definitely be painful for him if hes the only one who cant use magic when the people around him can do that. Hes sentimental even though its a rational idea. 

 

Really. Well, it cant be helped if thats the case. It should be okay if you take each step carefully by yourself along a steady path; theres still your regular life even if you do not become a magician in the first place, so it might be better for you to not brood so much about the school. To fail is quite hard. Just because theres something that you want to do, it doesnt mean that you have to continue doing it until you suffer failure 

 

That moment, the youth eyes changed as if it was glaring at me. 

 

Theres perspiration on his face thats turning red. 

 

As expected of Eiji-san Thats too much, isnt it 

 

Yes 

 

Thats expected from the person who fought at the last moment in the arena. You are worried about me, but it feels like I am being looked down, right? This is the standard, huh. Its like I am fighting with my life on the line 

 

EH? 

 

Its as you say. It seems Ive not entirely put my resolve on it and have not prepared to receive abuse, shame, or failure despite saying that I want to become a magician. I think thats the truth; this might be a revelation for how far my resolution is. As expected, Im still too naive. Though Im thinking about doing big things, I still dont want to think about how difficult it is. Moreover, Im even bothering another person whos already busy himself. My apologies 

 

Thus, the youth is bowing his head again. 

 

Uuhm. 

 

Could it be that he somehow took my words as sarcasm toward him, I wonder. 

 

I thought that its okay for him to take it easy and not fuss too much with his true feeling, but it feels like I just set the fire in his heart. 

 

Certainly, it could be considered as a way of saying so. 

 

 

 

. 

 

. 

 

Yeah, thats right. That way is better. You dont know whether you can do it or not, but its better if youre at least trying to do it. Since you wont succeed unless you try, theres no loss in it even if you end up in failure 

 

YES Understood You just opened my eyes 

 

Yosh, just use that emotion to somehow say a slightly nice thing. 

 

Thank god it settled peacefully. 

 

Even so, hes right huh. 

 

In that case, me too 

 

To motivate him, I clap the shoulder of the youth whos looking at the direction of the magic school with my fingers. 

 

The youths turning around as I speak to him. 

 

In that case, I also have something that I wish for you to teach me
