Hi, I'm Luke.

　I'm Luke-Vell-Iffles.

　I'm a wise apprentice who attends the Ifrus Magic Academy, where my grandfather, Luano-ver-Iffles, who is a wise man, is the head of the school.

　I've been in the elven kingdom of Alheime-the kingdom of the elves since yesterday, when the Iphrus Magic Academy began its 10-day holiday, so I was on my own.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　But since I can use flight magic, I was able to get here in a few hours.

　Now I'm waiting for a certain girl on the terrace of a trendy cafe on the main street of Alheim's royal city.

　I'm too excited to meet that girl for the first time in a long time, so I came two hours before the appointment.

　So I'm a bit bored.

　Right. Since I'm free, let's talk about my best friend I made at the Ifrus Magic Academy.

　He's a hell of a guy.

　I could pass the time just listing off all the things he's accomplished in the last two years or so.

　But since it's time to talk about this, I'll start with how he and I met.


　I'm going to start with...

　I was exempted from the entrance exam to the magic academy with my grandfather's authority.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you should learn from other than your grandfather, since he was a wise man's apprentice when he entered the school to begin with.

　Well, I thought it would be fun to study with a cute girl my age, so I decided to follow my grandpa's advice and enroll in the school.


　And on the day of the entrance ceremony.

　A cute girl with a ponytail was being tangled up with a nobleman.

　Quickly, a chance to get to know the girl!

　However, the other party is a nobleman, so we have to think about how to do this.

　Because of the generous donations from the nobles, Grandpa is able to run this school.

　For now, I've prepared a lightning-attribute spell in hand so that if the nobleman tries to touch the girl, I can stun him.


　That's when I was approached by that guy.

　It's a little shorter than me, with dark hair and beautiful blue eyes, and it unhesitatingly went to the nobleman.

　That too.
　That guy - Hurt was the son of a countess.

　The year I entered the school, there was no one related to the dukes and marquises.

　That's why, out of all the people in my grade, Hurt is the most powerful family.

　Thanks to Hult, the girl Luna, who was entangled with the nobility, was also freed safely.

　Afterwards, Halt threatened me and I became friends with him.


　I'm sorry, I lied about it.

　I called Hurt an 'idiot' and that's what started it, but I knew by his expression and his tone of voice that he wasn't really trying to threaten me.

　Hurt started introducing me to Luna without permission, and also called me his best friend.

　At that moment, I knew that Hurt and I could really be best friends.

　There was no particular reason for it.

　I just thought we kind of clicked together, or that we could joke around, or that we seemed to be in the same groove somehow, or something like that - it was just a loose feeling.

　But in fact, I've been able to get along with Hurt as a close friend until now.

　But recently, Hurt has been married twice and has many wives, so he seems to be quite busy, and doesn't hang out with me much anymore.

　When we go out for dinner, we don't go out together anymore.

　We would go around to the stalls to try out the ghetto food on a whim, and it was fun.

　So I'm a little sad.


　But I got a girlfriend through Rifa, one of Hurt's wives.

　She's an elven girl.
　She's so cute.

　That made me happy, even though Hurt doesn't pay much attention to me anymore.

　Of course, the one I'm waiting for here now is that girlfriend.


　........oops, I just fell in love with her.
　But I digress.

　Let's talk about my best friend, Hurt.

　Me, Hurt, and then Luna became friends after the entrance ceremony, but I couldn't mess with that when I called up my grandpa after the class formation was already over.

　Apparently, Grandpa (Sage Luano) had adjusted the class composition beforehand in order to raise me as the one who would be responsible for the world in the future.

　Neither Hurt nor Luna had a name in my class.

　I was shocked.

　I had made my best friend, but our classes had been split up.


　The next day, I knew about the class composition, but I dared to pretend I didn't know and went to meet up with Hurt and the others to check the class composition.


　For some reason, I was in the same class as Hurt and Luna.

　It didn't make sense.

　And there wasn't even a homeroom teacher's name.

　In order to raise me, I was told that a famous senior mage, a former A-class adventurer, would be my homeroom teacher....


　When our class homeroom teacher walked into the classroom, I was surprised.

　She was Hurt's personal maid.

　And that maid.

　She was a hero, Tina Halibel.

　She was a wizard of the same tertiary rank as my grandfather's wise man.

　Moreover, level 250 is probably the highest level among the inhabitants of this world.


　I later heard from Grandpa that the class composition was tossed around due to Hurt's wishes.

　Grandpa, who wouldn't even listen to me, his grandson, had let Hurt's wishes come true.

　It wasn't entirely for Hurt's sake, though, as he also wanted me to be his teacher, Tina.

　But Grandpa had decided to make a hurried adjustment to the class composition after several years of adjusting the staffing structure.

　That's how great it was to have Tina-sensei as the homeroom teacher.


　Hmmm. But I guess it's not so much about Hurt being bad, it's more about Tina-sensei being amazing.

　Okay, so now let's talk about Hurt's magic.
