�I just want to read a book.�

With a little bit of obstinance and eagerness, he followed the two towards the aristocratic area.

�What kind of life are they living?�

However, that initial thought was overwhelmed by the aristocratic energy of the buildings. He couldn�t raise his head.

�This was built for people to live in?�

Among them, the best academy was as large as several mountains combined.

Shirone stopped walking and read the antique inscription on the arch of the main gate.

Alpheas Magic Academy.

�Magic�

That one word was the only word that Shirone could not perfectly understand.

That was because, although that term was mentioned in numerous books, none could accurately describe the principles.

Unless you were a mage, explaining the workings of magic was futile. You�d only be seen as an arrogant being who thought they knew everything.

�What the�?! You, who are you?�

It was the security guard guarding the gate that shouted.

Shirone�s shabby clothes were at fault, as they stood out more since this was an aristocratic district.

�Go back! This is no place for a kid like you.�

�Oh, I�m sorry.�

Shirone ran away in a hurry, but no matter how much he ran, the wall did not end, which led Shirone to stop.

�How wide is this thing?�

Just then, an old man�s voice was heard over the wall.

�Well, let�s talk about what magic is today.�

�No, I don�t want to! Show us magic. Show us one more!�

�Fire! The one with fire, headmaster!�

Shirone stared at the wall.

Spotting the beautiful tree peeking from the top of the wall, Shirone realized that the headmaster seemed to be teaching under the shade.

The voices sounded young.

Of course, that wasn�t strange, since nobles were taught from the moment they were born.

�Hohoho, we�ll get in trouble if we start a fire in our academy. Instead, if you get this question right, I�ll show you a fun magic trick.� JrNovels.com
