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 28 - Class A and Class F After the third period, I checked the schedule I had in front of me. The first and second periods today were the entrance ceremony. Then, in the third period, we received explanations from our homeroom teachers and classmates introduced themselves to each other. Now, the last class of the day was to begin. Next, all the new students were to gather in the assembly hall, where the teachers in charge of each subject would give a guidance session. "Now, everyone, let's move." "Okay." I followed along with the flow of my classmates who were moving in a line. The assembly hall seemed to be at the end of the corridor that connected the new school building and the gymnasium, where we turned right halfway. The teacher gave us a brief tour of the school, guiding us around. "Wow! This school is so big." "Look, look. Are those kids from another class?" In front of the assembly hall, I encountered a group of people who see...

Chapter 27 - "Eddie enters the Royal Academy" Returning from the Demon Realm. Reporting to the King. Preparations for the entrance ceremony and other things passed by in a flurry. Before I knew it, the day of the Royal Academy entrance ceremony had arrived. Starting today, I would be taking classes in the lowest-ranked F class for the next year. The lowest class also stands out in a different way, so I would have ideally preferred to be in the middle C class... I had submitted my brother's report card instead and gotten through the class placements, so I couldn't be selfish. After the entrance ceremony in the gymnasium, we freshmen were sent off to our respective classrooms. This was where we said goodbye to our parents, who had been watching from the guardians' seats. "Eddie, do your best!" "If anything happens, tell me right away!" With my worried parents seeing me off, I headed to my classroom. The classrooms for new first-year students were...

Chapter 26 - "The Ruler of Darkness is Secretly Born" The dragon people, who had been watching the gunpowder explosion from a distance, welcomed the chief and me with surprise and joy. "Chief, I'm surprised! Who would have thought that you would have exploded the seeds of war along with the Demon King's castle!" "But how on earth did you do that!? Chief, you can't use magic..." "No, that's not true..." The chief looked away awkwardly. I had heard that he couldn't use magic, of course. The chief was planning to come up with a good excuse for this, but it seemed like it would be best to get some help. "Your magic, Chief, was really amazing! I was surprised!" "What, Chief's magic?" The dragon people were agitated by what I said. I gasped dramatically and covered my mouth with both hands. Of course it was an act. "Ah! I'm sorry Chief. The chief asked me to keep it a secret that he can now use magic...

  Chapter 25 -  The Demon King's Castle is smashed to pieces The members of the elite force were detained and were to be escorted to a prison in the dragon-man village. The execution would take place after the dispute with the werewolves had been resolved. The dragon-man soldiers were quite shaken by the fact that one of their own had turned traitor. Everyone looked depressed and anxious. To be honest, it was an uncomfortable atmosphere. But it was only natural that the atmosphere would be like this. It wasn't just about the fact that someone had turned traitor. The issue with the werewolves over the gunpowder had still not been resolved at all, so the atmosphere was bound to be oppressive. On top of that, twenty of the best soldiers from the elite force had been captured. The werewolves were still preparing their camp, intending to fight. What on earth should they do now? A confused silence hung in the air among the dragon-man soldiers. 'How pathetic. "It's all be...
