My parents and I traveled across the castle, which was actually not far from our palace. By the time we were in front of the palace, two guards checked for our identification before proceeding us inside.I wondered why the soldiers? Wasn’t the castle free from anyone, since everything belonged to the people? Maybe it was different in this world? Regardless, I paid it no mind and just followed my parents leading the way.We stumbled upon the spiral stairs and went towards the highest place where we could find the King. Today was a special day, I supposed. Not every kid had the chance to be named when they were younger than five, and I was the second one to reach such height. The first… was still a mystery to me.As we journeyed towards the lavish door, my eyes were immediately entranced by the window stationed at the top floor. We weren’t inside the King’s chamber, so we had some time to prepare before meeting the actual ruler of this place.My parents in this world told me to sit by a
As soon as the King of the Kingdom saw my determination, he immediately bestowed me properties, money, an enrollment slot for the Magique Academy, and my name. I got to choose what I could call myself. So I chose Owari. King Rowan also rewarded me with priceless tomes from the concealed library. The King exclaimed that these novels were one of a kind, and maybe I could decipher them in my free time. I happily accepted the documents with open hands and planned on reading them soon.“Owari Ryutarou,” I pronounced my name. It was the one and only name I would love to have, since it reminded me of my brother. And that was the only remnant for me to remember him.Despite my bold action, my parents didn’t stop me. They were praying to themselves that I wouldn’t cause any troubles to the King, evident from their hands shivering from fear. Even so, they had faith in me. Somehow and someway, these parents of mine from this world believed in me and knew my potential… just like Fubuki, my brothe
“I have never even thought about this… Owari, this is truly splendid! Your knowledge expands the field of human anatomy! And these medicines are supplements that not even those potions could outperform!” I showed the equivalent of a physician in this world the effects of the medicine I had created. After a lengthy discussion with the “physician”, his eyes widened and his ears continued peering through my mind. This man, together with his disciples, knew almost nothing about the medical field. Thankfully, I was there to correct them.When we returned to the castle, I requested people who had specific illnesses. Once the doctor from this fantasy world got what I needed, he immediately went off, and returned in a flash, bringing with him the selected individuals. I gave the drugs to these groups of ill patients and told them to return after a week. Of course, I already had a microscope with me. Not to mention, I also upgraded the potential and components of the elixirs and potions. Bu
I found it odd to fight against this person who already had an experience in clashing against another student or person. Normally, I would fight someone who was freshly drafted to this event. But that didn’t happen.Well, this was another world, after all. So the culture and the way they handled these sorts of tournaments was something different compared to my world. I had to avoid differentiating my world and this… planet, or else I would bluntly say and nitpick anything I see from now on. The announcer of the stadium calls for my name and the kid who had demolished his first opponent not too long ago. A teenager appeared before me. This was the person who won the first battle of this Magique Academy event and was already showing some fanbase all over the audience, including the other two judges. But despite what had happened, the King was thinking to himself. Even though he was distant from me, his eyes were still visible. King Rowan massaged the temples of his eyes and mumbled som
Apparently, after the fight, the judges had to talk to themselves if they could still join me in the upcoming battle. And although I won my fight, it seemed these judges were unsure whether I could be a student in the S-Rank classroom… or be banned. It seemed that the spell I used was something far greater than what any mages could offer. And if I could conjure such a devastating ability, these judges, specifically the director of the Magique Academy, thought there would be no professors that could teach me.But I wasn’t aiming for that. And fortunately, King Rowan was on the case. He already leaned his head closer to the director of the school and briefly explained my circumstances. Even though we were a few feet apart and I couldn’t hear his words, I still knew that King Rowan was talking things out for the Magique School’s director, considering I had helped him about other businesses. By the time the conversation ended, the judges had made up their mind. A referee was called to re
I just realised that this place awfully lacked women students.It appeared that even in this world, women were also criticised. But I didn’t correlate the women and their strengths or weaknesses, rather, this Magique Academy and its students. Although I thought highly of myself, back from my world, there were females who could answer my questions within a nick of time than males could. And then, everything changed after the previous fight. When the last clash ended, two contenders walked towards the stage. One was a girl, and the other was a boy. From the way I saw it, this boy was belittling the woman for her gender and appearance alone, which was ludicrous. But I wasn’t affiliated with these people, so why would I care?That was when things became different. After the myriad of matches that unfolded before me, there was one person who caught my interest.As soon as the next fight started, the two contenders were two women fighting for the S-Classroom Rank. The victor could go to th
I forced Elizabeth to fight me, even though she was totally against it. I get it. There was no benefit in fighting against me and winning or losing wouldn’t matter that much. But it mattered to me. I wanted to know Elizabeth’s spells up close and learn more about the magical abilities this world had to offer. There was no telling when I could get this chance once the arena settles in, so it was better this way. Hence, my request However, there were also a few disadvantages to this rash decision. Since Elizabeth somewhat already used most of her mana, she would be fighting against the favourable odds of her enemy, which was me. So instead of winning through this dirty tactic, I also added some features that disabled some chances of me winning.And the referee was about to announce it.“This is a special duel between Elizabeth Lonelight on my right who had defeated her opponent through unique abilities called ‘Shadow’ versus Owari Ryutarou, who is now the strongest mage of the arena! A
“Drink this. Elizabeth. This will help you regain some of your health.” The vial I made had purple liquid inside, compared to the usual red and blue potions made on this planet. Red meant improving the regeneration process of the body while the blue ones were made to recover mana. Elizabeth needed both. Although these two types of potions would be a great help for Elizabeth’s fast recovery, the taste and effect of these elixirs greatly lessened if taken at the same time. But I found a substance that allowed this chemical reaction to take place, increasing the potency of these red and blue potions. Hence, the creation of the purple one, which effortlessly solved the problem. However, the girl refused to drink what I had made. That girl kept staring at the concoction I made, without daring to touch or or go near the glass. Elizabeth stated that the lavender-like potion I made was something… “Are you trying to kill me? What’s this? Just because you defeated me, that doesn’t mean I wi
