“H-Hurry up! What’s taking you so long!?”
 
As the man shouts, the boys flinch in surprise and tremble.
 
The magic is soon completed, and the boys, with tears in their eyes, cast their spells.
 
“Flame Arrow…!”
 
“Rock Shot!”
 
The moment they’re activated, a ball of flame and a rock appear in front of the boys and are launched towards me.
 
There’s only one of each, but they’re quite fast.… Read more

 
“Hey, we’re done for today. Let’s pack up.”
 
I tell this to the black-suited dealers, who nod quietly and start moving. Some customers are visibly upset, but neither side wants to get caught. The evacuation proceeds mostly smoothly.
 
The back door is at the bottom of the stairs. If they could come straight here, we might run into them before escaping, but that’s unlikely to happen.
 
However, it’s somewhat concerning that a subordinate who has experienced this many times before is panicking so much.… Read more

 
“This child has been rude. However, as the man from earlier confessed, it seems certain that this is indeed the Nevis family’s hideout. Everyone, please answer our questions honestly.”
 
As I said this, the men looked dumbfounded for a moment, then burst out laughing.
 
“‘This child,’ she says!”
 
“The man from earlier? That guy left through there!”
 
The men laugh as they point to the wall behind them.
 
As the three men standing by the wall move away, a black metal door is revealed.… Read more

Chapter 2: The Underground Casino
 

 
The Nevis family, a yakuza-like organization, runs the underground casino.
 
Among the various illegal groups such as theft rings, unlicensed doctors, slave traders, and violent organizations known as extortionists, they stand out as a particularly powerful force.
 
The Academy City, where wealth, goods, and people from various countries flow in, is overflowing with those seeking ways to make money, regardless of good or evil.
 
In such an environment, it’s not surprising that some would turn their attention to the academy students.… Read more

 
With an uneasy feeling, I walked quickly, trying to track down Rocks.
 
However, I couldn’t find him. I thought he might be attending class, but when Strauss asked around, it seemed he wasn’t even in the academy.
 
He’s probably somewhere in the academy city, but I have no idea where. Would asking a few people help? With that in mind, I tried asking Court and Felter, but all I got was that his whereabouts were unknown.… Read more

Chapter 1: Why Aren’t the Number of Students Increasing?
 

From the beginning, I was welcomed as a senior instructor, but I felt that both students and fellow teachers looked at me with strange eyes. However, as I earnestly gave lectures on magic and exchanged opinions, their view of me began to change.
 
Yet, there was not only the issue with me but also a deep-rooted problem of discrimination due to noble consciousness within the academy.… Read more

Special Original Story: Together with Felter
 

The sun’s warmth was comforting. The sky was clear without a single cloud, and the occasional gentle breeze felt pleasant.
 
Even within the academy, there seemed to be a more peaceful atmosphere than usual.
 
“Ah, Sensei Aoi!”
 
“Hello.”
 
“Hello!”
 
Their innocent smiles and cheerful voices were radiant. Even with just a simple exchange of greetings, these lovely girls in their early teens shone like jewels.… Read more

“…Nice to meet you. I’m Aoi Konominato, a teacher at the magic academy.”
 
As I greeted him with a polite bow, Court quickly followed suit.
 
“I’m Court Hedge Butler. I’m from the Court Highland Federation.”
 
After Court introduced himself with a light bow, Aile spread her arms wide and showed a friendly smile.
 
“I’m Aile Hedge Butler! I’m Shenley’s friend! Nice to meet you!”
 
Following Aile’s bright greeting, Liz and Belle also introduced themselves and bowed.… Read more

Side Story: A Day Off with Students
 

Spending time eating and drinking with Eliza and Strauss at restaurants outside the academy has somehow become a routine on my days off. We usually go to their favorite places, but occasionally we venture to new establishments or famous spots we’ve heard about.
 
However, since both Eliza and Strauss have their own magical research to focus on, we typically only meet for dinner. As for me, although I do set aside some time for research, I have more free time during weekdays, so I rarely dedicate my days off to magical studies.… Read more

Side Story: A Letter to Owen
 

Since entering the academy, I’ve learned about new magic from the academy library and from mages of other countries.
 
However, this magic academy has already applied and combined magic from multiple countries. As a result, the mages here have forgotten the uniquely evolved magic of their respective countries, instead learning the refined magic taught at the academy.
 
In terms of new ideas, I felt that studying the older magic from each country might be closer to my goal.… Read more
