Chapter 1: There You Are
"Also I came here secretly this time, turn around and wait for me to go back you mustn't complain to my father ah."
"Since I've been in charge of the accounts at home every time you buy meat I've secretly given you a discount behind father's back!"
"So you must help me keep the matter of me coming to the Council Chamber a secret."
The tender-faced Yousse falsely approached William, his tone whispering about this naughty act in the eyes of the adults.
"Don't worry, your Uncle William promises not to say anything."
"But you'd better watch out for that father of yours, I'm afraid that man-child has guessed that you're here."
Although Youse had already reached adulthood, Uncle William, who had watched Youse grow up as a child, didn't seem to realise the situation.After only seeing the other party rubbing Youse's head, he urged him to hurry up and go inside.
Youse, who stroked the hair on the back of his head, was still eye-bashing Uncle William for treating him like a child a second ago.The next moment entering the political affairs hall, Youser's complexion suddenly became incredibly grave.
"Whether or not we can succeed depends on this time, the life in Bay City is cosy and fulfilling though."
But this was not the life that the crossed over Youse aspired to.
Just as that [Charles.Leonard Wizard]'s legendary story in general.
Euser, who had lived a regular life in his previous life, also wanted to experience a life full of fantastical and treacherous adventures after crossing over.In the government office, Youse was lucky enough to pass through the layers of screening and came to the last level.
Standing in the queue, he watched the wooden door in front of him getting closer and closer, and his heart was gradually raised in his throat.
Soon after, he came to the wooden door and looked inwards.
What met his eyes were four old dark red bookshelves that exuded the scent of time.
In the quiet environment of the large fireplace located in the corner of the slowly burning firewood from time to time a soft sound.
The faint scent of pine had somehow crept into Yusei's nose.
"Come in."
A rustling airwave voice came from nowhere.Returning to his senses, Youse followed the voice.
It turned out that the place obscured from view by the wooden door was the real body of the room.
Entering the room, Youse found that this is just like a bookstore, a large room displaying large and small bookshelves.
Countless bookshelves of different heights were arranged in a semi-circle from high to low.Surrounding the centre of the bookshelves was an ordinary wooden round table.Only a crystal ball the size of a human head was placed on the table.
Behind the table a sorcerer with a large grey cloak and white flames emanating from his features was flipping through a 20cm thick black book.
After the battle was won the imperial high command was trying to avoid anyone projecting the post-war supplies reserves of the Drevins Empire from this book.
That's why this vulgar colour novel was classified as a banned book in the Drevins Empire."
For a moment Youse couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"This guy turned out not to be pretending!"
"A colour novel can be seen by people as having a value that concerns the fate of the country."
"Alright kid, idle chatter time is over, put your hand on the crystal ball."
"Whether you have sorcerer qualifications or not, I advise you to read more books, the power of knowledge is far more terrifying than you can imagine."
Obediently obeying this wizard's instructions, Uther placed his hand on the crystal ball.
The next moment the scene in front of Youse's eyes began to change.In a moment all the objects around Usher began to fall rapidly.Only Youse himself and the wooden planks under his feet stayed in place.
Then a cold, wet sensation suddenly passed through Youse's fingers.
Just as Youse was wondering what that wetness was.Suddenly it was as if the mute button had been pressed on Youse's world.A raging and treacherous ocean of colour in the middle of a silent world just suddenly appeared around Usher.
"Illusion?"
Youse, who had no time to understand the situation, was violently pressed into this colourful ocean by a silent wave from behind.All of a sudden, a sense of weightlessness wrapped around Youse and he sank rapidly.
The light in his vision gradually dimmed, and his entire chest cavity was almost deflated by the enormous pressure.
Youse passed!
Spiritual Strength 12 points, Space Elemental Affinity Excellent.Youse, who had not yet recovered from the sense of weightlessness and suffocation, was pulled back to reality by a piercing voice.
Youse, who had slowly condensed a high light in his eyes, only felt the sky spinning.
Immediately, Youse fell straight to the ground.Accompanied by the rapid expansion and contraction of his chest, a large amount of oxygen was greedily sucked into the lungs of Youse who was lying on the ground.
"Looks like a talented little guy after all.
Stand behind me, lucky boy."
Along with a voice that seemed to have magical power came into Youse's ears.Youse, who had been desperately gasping for breath just a moment ago, subconsciously got up and walked behind the owner of the voice, that is, the sorcerer.
With a splitting headache and blurry eyes, Youse recovered until the evening.
Youse, who had been standing from morning to afternoon, was about to move his legs and feet, which were numb.Suddenly the wizard in front of him stood up violently.
"What is this for?"
Youse, who looked puzzled but didn't know how to speak, once again heard that piercing voice in his ears.
"Let's go, all the people of the right age in this city have finished testing.
Not bad, plus you there are a total of two qualified little ones."After the voice fell, the sorcerer had already disappeared in place.In the next second, the wizard standing at the wooden door used his eyes that were on fire to look at Yuse who was still frozen in place.
Youse, who felt the death stare, hurriedly followed the other party's footsteps.After coming out from the back door of the government office, Youse saw a familiar face here.Looking at the old Will standing in the shadows with a serious face.
Youse did not know what to say for a moment.
"Your mother and brother are still standing around stupidly in the square;After marrying your mother she never wanted to listen to me;Now it's so bad you can't even see your son for the last time!"
"I know you've always wanted to go out on a limb, so I've been saving up for you since you started literacy classes."
"I was thinking of scraping together my family's wealth to send you to the Council of State first, so that you could get out of here through the Imperial Sergeant route."
What surfaced on Old Will's face in the shadows as he said this was a touch of lingering pride.Everyone knew that the oldest son of the Old Will family had excelled.As a father, Old Will was naturally also silently struggling for Youse's future.
"Who knew that your kid actually has the potential to become a wizard!"
"By embarking on this path, the family will really not be able to help you much."
"The road in the future can only rely on you to walk on your own."
After saying this, Old Will took out a parcel from somewhere.
"You went out this morning without eating, this is what I brought when I went out."
"Take it, it can still be used as dry food to deal with a few bites on the way."
Old Will, who had finished his sentence in one breath, showed his fatigue at this moment.It is of course good that the child is successful.But the next time we meet after this farewell, we don't know when it will be.
The silent Youse just hugged his father tightly.
After receiving the dried pork from Old Will, Yusei made a promise that he would definitely come back.After Yussef said goodbye to Old Will, the wizard with fiery features appeared at a street corner waiting for Yussef.
Late at night on the harbour of Bay City, two figures were waiting for the Heim Wizard, that is, the guy with five fiery features.
"Sorcerer-sama, your good day."
"Your honour, my lord."
It was hard to see exactly what it looked like but Usher could at least make out that it was a man and a woman, and that the woman was younger.
"Hmm."
Ever since the Heim Witch had left the Council Chamber he had become a man of few words.
He was seen walking to the shore where the ship was moored, and a thumb-sized crystal ball emitting a faint glow was dropped into the water.
After five long seconds in silence, a hundred-metre-long, twenty-metre-high three-masted sailing ship broke the surface of the sea.
Looking at the sailboat, whose exterior was made up of various unknown skeletons, a strange feeling of excitement surfaced in Yusei's mind.
"Hurry up and get on board, we're running out of time."
The Heim Wizard who was the first to board the ship urged the crowd on the shore.
Youse, who immediately followed the Heim Wizard onto the boat, noticed that the two figures on the shore, a man and a woman, seemed to be secretly exchanging something.
Under the Heimatwitcher's urging, the broad shadow only hurriedly shoved a parcel into the other's hand.
Then he left the place without looking back.In this way, this white bone sailing ship ushered in the last two guests."Hello, I hope we can become good friends in the Wizard Academy in the future."
With the help of the ship's light, Yuse finally got a good look at the figure that had boarded the ship with him.
"Lady Oliveira!"
"It's my honour to have the chance to be your friend."
In the end, the second person in the Heim Wizard's mouth turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Bay City Lord.If Youse enjoyed the title of South Street Genius in Bay City.Then this full name Oliveira.Tory's girl was a genius who had been renowned throughout the city since she was a child.
She started following her father in politics at the age of ten;
Ethel, on the other hand, was still plucking chickens in her own shop when she was ten.
"Clang!"
Accompanying the vibration, a clear and prolonged trilling sound reached Youse's ears.Under the gaze of the stars in the sky, this white bone sailing ship from the wizard world finally set off on its homeward journey.
On the second day after boarding the ship, the biggest feeling that this white bone sailing ship brought to Youssef was fast!At night, because of the darkness of the surrounding area and the lack of reference, Youse could not see anything.
In the daytime, sitting on the deck and breathing fresh air, Youse looked at the blurred scenery around him.
He finally died of the thought of enjoying the seascape.The speed of the ship had been so fast that it was too late for Yusei's eyes to automatically fill in the frames of the sea scenery.
Right now, the only four visual sensations in Yuse's eyes were height, blue and white...Looking at the Heim Wizard sitting at the bow of the ship, Youse bravely walked to his side and squatted down to speak.
"Sorcerer-sama, how long before we reach the Wizard World?"
"And how did this ship increase its speed to so fast?"
The Heim Wizard sitting at the bow of the ship turned his head slightly to look at Youse then continued to look ahead and said.
"There are still 34 days before we reach the Sorcerer's Academy, as for why this ship's speed is so fast?"
"This ship, made by the Academy's alchemy department, has many energy formations with different effects inscribed on the alchemy apparatus.
"Among these are the energy array diagrams that enhance the speed of the ship."
Heim Wizard, who had roughly told Youse the answer, waved his hand and said again.
"Go to the cabin and get everyone else up here, I have important news to announce."
