He wanted to get closer to Alpheas, but the eyes of the children were preventing him from doing so.
�Show me magic.�
�Hoho, have you never seen magic?�
�I�ve read about it in books, but I�ve never seen it in person.�
A child pointed his finger at Shirone.
�As if! What kind of commoner can read?
When Alpheas looked into Shirone�s eyes, it certainly didn�t seem to be a lie.
However, it was the nature of children of that age to deceive adults.
�Okay. What kind of magic do you want to see?�
�It doesn�t matter. I don�t care. Anything is fine, so show me. Please.�
Shirone realized his situation, so he lowered his head. Then Alpheas waved his hand and laughed.
�This old man�s one and only joy is to show his magic to his honey buns. Alright! Then this time, I�ll show you magic that creates wind.�
�Wooaah! It�s wind, wind!
While the children clapped their hands in awe, Shirone clenched his fist in tension.
�Wind? How can I�?�
In that instant, when Alpheas raised his hand, Shirone�s eyes opened wide in shock.
�Whoa!�
The weight of his body disappeared and flew up to a height of more than 20 meters.
The numerous buildings of the magic academy, and the mountain ranges that were situated beyond it, were noticeable with a glance.
�AHHHH!�
Screaming broke out as a matter of course, but the other children were enjoying it while cartwheeling around the sky.
After a while, the children start to drop, one by one.
The speed of the drop was so great that Shirone closed his eyes tightly at the sight of the fast approaching ground.
�Wha�?�
There was none of the impact Shirone was expecting.
Feeling strange, Shirone opened his eyes slowly and saw that his body was floating a little above the ground.
When the children burst into laughter at the sight of Shirone, Alpheas also laughed mischievously.
�What do you say? This is magic.�
Of course he was kind at times, but he wasn�t boring enough to not enjoy the child�s reaction.
That may be why he came on a bit stronger than usual, but Shirone could not answer him. JrNovels.com
