A huge blast of flame completely covered the troll king's huge body.
　A tremendous hot wind rushed over to us.

''Heat!''
Hi!
Ka, God!

　Some of the passengers were blown backwards.

　Hmm. It's a shame.
　I guess I should have adjusted the direction of the explosion properly.
　Well, no one seems to have died, so it's OK.

　When the dust that had filled the area had cleared, there was a huge crater.
　As I got closer, I saw that charred pieces of meat were scattered everywhere.
　Of course, that was the end of the Troll King's maturity.

''Looks like it's a good thing you dropped the power more in the first place.

　It was clearly overkill.
　It seems that he was a little too eager to try out the game, because a handful of demonic objects appeared.

The best way to do this is to have a look at the actuality of the situation.

　The boy asked in a trembling voice.

'I just unleashed one of the red magics, Explosions, on the Troll King?
'When you say explosion, isn't that top-tier red magic?　That's the magic used by the "Magus King" class of the [Highest Rank]!

　I see.
　It's true that I thought it was a pretty powerful magic.
　In my case, I've learned magic independently of my skills, so I don't have much knowledge in that area.

''So it was a lie to say that I'm 'unemployed'.......''
He was actually a famous wizard...
No, I'm really unemployed. Didn't I just show you the certificate?

　I explained that, but the girls didn't take it up at all, saying things like, "It must be a forgery," and "They must be hiding their identity for some reason.......

　And then.

S....
Hmm?

　The boy suddenly knelt in front of me.

'I'm sorry!

　And then he apologizes loudly.

'I didn't know you were a great grand teacher, and all the rudeness from earlier!　Please forgive me!
So I'm not like that.
'And please, let me call you Master from now on!　I want to be a wizard like you!

　

　I regretted that I should have defeated him with my sword if this was the case.





　The rest of the trip went smoothly.
　The weather was also fine, which was a matter of concern, and the magical city was finally in sight.

I see. I've heard about it, but it's a pretty interesting place.

　The magical city was located on an island floating in a huge lake.
　There was a natural bridge made of earth and sand that connected the island to this side.

''Master!　That bridge, they say they use magic to maintain it!　Otherwise, they say it will be gone soon!　It's just like a magical city, isn't it!

　He told me excitedly that it was a boy named Kite.

　Ever since he accidentally defeated the Troll King, he changed his initial attitude and has been like this ever since.

'How could that cheeky kite be like a dog wagging its tail at its owner...'
It's amazing...

　The girls with me are looking at me with surprising looks.
　By the way, the strong-looking one is Koofa, and the one who is frightened all the time seems to be Colette.

　The bridge was not accessible by carriage, so we had to cross it on foot.
　The weather was fine today, and there was almost no wind, but I heard that when a storm, which is a specialty of this area, occurs, it makes it impossible to get to and from the island.

　Eventually, we arrived at the City of Magic.

　There are six magical institutes in this city.
　And each academy specializes in teaching and researching one type of magic.

　Namely.

　The Red Academy: Red Magic (magic related to fire, heat, etc.)
　Blue Academy: blue magic (magic related to water, ice, cold air, etc.)
　The Green Academy: Green Magic (magic about the atmosphere, weather, etc.)
　The Yellow Institute: yellow magic (magic about earth, metal, etc.)
　The White Academy: White Magic (magic about light, life, etc.)
　Black Academy: Black Magic (magic about darkness, death, etc.)

　The six of them are.

Master!
What now?
''Master is a red academy too, right?　They say you can just go straight down that road!　I'll go with you!

　Kite prompts me happily.

''Well, I guess I'll say goodbye here then. I'm at the Blue Academy.''
I'm from the Green Academy.

　Kufa seems to have blue magic and Colette has green magic skills.

'Oh, bye!　You don't want to end up failing the entrance exam and going back to the countryside!
I'll give it to you straight from the word go.

　The three of us went in different directions while talking to each other about such things.
　And I had no choice but to head towards the Red Academy with Kite.

''What? Master is taking the entrance exam too?!
They say you have to pass the test to get in.
'I mean, Master, how on earth did you learn magic?'

　Even if one had magical skills, one could not master them without a certain amount of knowledge of the magic formula.
　That's why many wizards enrolled in these institutes or studied under their predecessors.

'I learned it from my father,'
Wow, he must be a great guy.

　He looks like an old man with a dick.

'Ah, Master, there it is!　That looks like the Red Academy!

　After a while, I saw a magnificent gate.
　Behind it, there is a building that looks like a school building.

　Well, it's an entrance exam.
　I hope I don't get turned away from the gate like I did with the Sword Guild.
