The beating of his heart was all he heard.

�This� is magic.�

This sensation he experienced for the first time in his life was completely beyond the nebulous boy�s fantasy.�

Shirone, once he came to his senses, spoke.

�What is magic?�

�Well, let�s see. Magic is��

�It doesn�t matter if I don�t understand. Please tell me the truth.�

The children�s expressions hardened.

Even though they were young, they knew what position Alpheas had in the magical world. Therefore, even the children of the prominent noble families laid low and acted like obedient children in front of him.

�Our teachers can�t say things like that to him.�

Alpheas also thought it was bold at first, but after a while, he changed his opinion.

�He�s a smart kid.�

He was not trying to understand things right away.

�I know what kind of opportunity I have right now. That�s why I�m not trying to understand it easily, at an elementary level. I would rather have difficult, but accurate information so that I can study it myself!�

If he hadn�t had an education on magic before this, then this child�s judgment had to be excellent.

�But really? Does he believe he can do it alone?�

So far, Alpheas, who was deep in thought, looked at Shirone with a different look from before.

He was tense, as if his life was on the line.

�Haha! Listen comfortably, it�s not a difficult thing to understand. But if you would like, I can raise the difficulty a bit. Magic is something that deviates from common sense. In other words, it�s the mental process of exploring the truth of a phenomenon.�

Shirone was engrossed in thought.

�If you don�t understand, you can just say so.�

�So it�s not an easy phenomenon to explain, but you�re saying that�is�the truth?�

Alpheas blinked.

�Where did you learn that?�

�Oh, well, in a book.�

�There was a book with content like that?�

�No, I just thought about why books are used. Even if someone goes out their way to write down something that everyone knows, no one would bother looking at it. Truth is something that is different from the common sense we normally know, that�s probably the reason why books are written and are read.�

�Anyone can memorize and recite. However, understanding the concept of a book requires an inherent characteristic� insight. Is he really a commoner? What a shame!�

Looking at his appearance, it was highly likely that the commoner was from the lowest of the low, living outside the city.
