�There will be innumerable difficulties and criticisms� But I�m not afraid.�

This, too, was the pride of the Ogent.

Klumph spoke while chuckling.

�It has been quite a bit since our family head has said something right. But won�t you die of loneliness if you send your last son away just like that? Why not just spend another year before doing that?�

Bischoff was not provoked.

�Rai has unlocked Schema as well as learned the swordsmanship of Ogent. Hence why he is more than likely to win official approval. On the other hand, Rian has yet to unlock his Schema. I have no choice but to enroll him in this Kaizen Swordsmanship Academy.

�It sounds like you�re subtly taking the black-haired approach. However, we blue-hairs have passion, and that passion never withers away. If you look down at our burning passion, you will be in for a rude awakening.�

While munching on a lamb, Rian sent a thumbs up to his grandfather.

Bischoff snorted. His father�s playfulness was nothing new.

�Hair color does not matter to me. As long as they have the same blood flowing in their veins, they are family. And that family is��

Sitting up straight in their chairs, all the family members placed down their utensils and spoke in union.

�Ogent.�

After the meal, everyone returned to the living room and sat down.

They began to discuss Shirone�s situation.

Reina broke the news that Shirone was interested in learning magic, which everyone agreed was alright. Due to his physique and his tendencies, Shirone would eventually reach a ceiling in terms of swordsmanship.

Unlike the friendly atmosphere Klumph had during the meal, he told Vincent with a serious expression.

�As you know, our family intends to support Shirone. It sounds like he wants to become a mage, so we�re thinking of sending him to Alpheas Magic Academy. The academy is also one of the top five prestigious academies in the Kingdom of Tormia. The Headmaster, Headmaster Alpheas, is also an old friend of mine. It�s an institution appointed by the kingdom, so if one graduates from there, they will receive an unofficial license� Which means they can become a mage.�

�M-Mage��

Vincent gulped.

Mages were symbols of intelligence, so needless to say, most were nobles. However, it was a very unique occupation as, due to the ability-based nature of it, status did not dictate how far one could reach. And once they earned their license, they were highly sought after everywhere.�

In the world, there were country bumpkins who realized magic on their own. There were also commoners who learned magic by learning under a mage.

Those kinds of people typically became mercenaries. However, there was also the alternative of getting a job in an association and obtaining a mage�s license that way.

Though, of course, those cases were extremely rare. And so for commoners, becoming a mage was merely a fantasy.

But it wasn�t merely a fantasy for Shirone� And as such, the offer wasn�t something Vincent could refuse.

As Olina was moved to tears, Shirone embraced his mother.

It was a warm sight, but unexpectedly, Klumph�s face was gloomy.

Clearly, the fastest way to become a mage was to enter a magic academy� But the problem was status.

Unlike other routes, a magic academy strictly allowed only nobility to enter for the most part. And despite the fact there was special admission for exceptional talents, to cut past that standard was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Trying to achieve this was not easy, even for the Ogent family who was the 2nd-class noble in the kingdom.

In fact, the magic academy also regularly got enrollment requests from the 1st-class family.� JrNovels.com
