6-year-old Wise Man Wants to Walk in the Shade

  Epilogue: The beginning of a new life "What?! You're saying... you're out of magic...?!" Huey was clearly becoming upset. To tell the truth, I had activated a detection spell as soon as the battle began to confirm Huey's decreasing magical power. The magical power displayed above his head was now 0. Of course. No matter how you look at it, a child's magical power would run out in no time if he kept firing it like that. Magical power increases according to level. No matter how noble Huey was from a prestigious family and had a talent for magic, there's only so much a six-year-old child can reach. I know that from personal experience. This was what I was aiming for from the beginning. "You can't use magic anymore?" "Damn it." "What? You said that people who can't use magic have no value. Maybe you just..." The color drained from Huey's face. He stared at me with wide eyes as if he had seen something terrifying. Jus...

 Chapter 31 - Eddie vs. the Bully "Everyone stay back. It's dangerous." I looked around and told him, and the other kids hurriedly retreated. A circle of students formed around Huey and me. "Don't underestimate me...!" It wasn't enough to just defeat this insolent boy. If that were the case, it would be much simpler. It would take a lot of brainpower to pretend to be Class F's power and deal with him. "Take this!" Huey cast a water spell. This was the third time. I didn't get in the way, and let him cast it as he wanted. The water spell that appeared in Huey's palm swelled up to the size of a ball. "Go for it!" Huey threw a blue, squishy light blue ball with force. It would hurt a lot if it hit him, and it would probably cause a jammed finger or bruise. As expected of Class A, they're amazing for a kid their age. Huey, in particular, comes from a distinguished family. Magical talent is greatly influenced by blood. Now....

Chapter 30 - Protecting classmates It's the second day of school. The orientation was all over on the first day, so today the magic classes start in earnest. I wonder what we'll learn in the first class. The first period today was a class on everyday life magic, so maybe we'll learn how to fly? Hmm, but if they messed up and fell, they could get seriously injured, so that kind of magic might have to wait. As I was thinking this, I headed towards the classroom, and there was some commotion in front of class F. What's it all about? There's a crowd of people. It looks like they're having some kind of argument. "Hey, class F can't even say hello! They're just like losers who can't use magic!" The ones making the noise were the students from class A who'd started a fight in front of the assembly hall yesterday. The blonde, who I think is the son of a distinguished aristocrat, was leaning back with his hands on his hips. The ones on either si...
