Return of the Class 8 Mage
102.

“Yah, Mistress. Time to go!”

“Do not hesitate again!”

“You can do this!”

All the maids left one by one with a push and soon, the long-awaited Ian Page came into the room. Maybe because he took off his robe? His arms and legs look longer than before.

“Old no see, princess.”

His heart started to beat again.

He didn't know why and there was no way for him to know.

No. gabe.

He knows why, but he pretends not to know.

“I think you forgot me.”

“As you know, I'm a bit busy.”

“I think so too. At least you're here now. Thank you for coming.” Princess Hiley smiled.

Her flushed cheeks and shining eyes were impressive, and it added to her incomparable beauty, making her even more beautiful. Her beauty was conspicuous even just by looking at her. He fits this abstract description more than anyone.

‘Magazing.’ thought Ian in heart. And he meant it.

It was like watching a masterpiece.

A work of art that will be displayed among the best.

He had such an impression of seeing the princess.

“Aren't you and I a teacher and a student? I can't push it anymore.”

Ian is good at lying. To the point of wondering how to keep the windfall of the former owner of the ivory tower, it never occurred to him about his relationship with the princess. He completely forgot all about her.

“Only there is nothing I can teach you about magic. Unless you are an Academy student. Are you not yet a magician ranked to Grade 3? So I've been thinking..”.

Of course, this is also a lie. All he had to do was pretend to teach him something here and there and tell him the secret of the Mana Breathing Method.

“First of all, we will start with Mana.” Respiration Method

“Oh, are you talking about the thing you mentioned last time when you did the Black Magic Inspection.?”

“Yes that's right. You remember.”

Unlike Ian, who was just trying to make things up as she left, Princess Hiley was fully focused, her eyes shining brightly. The way his ears were raised exuded his zeal for learning.

“I was actually planning on revealing this in the Tower, but I was very busy. But you're still my student, so let me show you first.” Ian said without a heart, not meaning a word he said.

But the princess did not consider it that way.

“Did you say that I was.. the first one?”

‘He showed it to me first.’

It was as if he was treating her specifically. He keeps feeling that.

He finally laughed out loud.

“Hehe..”

“Why are you suddenly laughing?”

“This .. it's okay!”

He said, stop immediately.

He kept his ears up, focused.

“This is the same for all Respiration Methods – which this should not be too difficult. With your abilities, you will soon get used to this. ”

“Do I really have talent?”

“Are you unaware of your own abilities?”

Oh, he knows. He knew how great his achievement was to reach Grade 3 even under his condition. Isn't Kevin, the Royal Court Witch, raving about it nonstop?

“But still .... .”

The princess wanted to hear Ian tell himself how talented he was.

“I first knew that you were a witch in the Emperor's dugout, in the basement. I remember you used the Light Spell for the first time.”

“Oh, that time!”

The princess also remembered that day. Wasn't that the day he performed the Light Spell for the first time?

Although it was a historic day to remember, he remembered that day vividly.

Wait, that day is clear…

“That was the first day you came to the palace, wasn't Mister?”

“One stop. I looked around the palace and ended up there, but hid in a corner when you and the witch entered the room. So that's how I see you.”

Actually, he went there to look for ‘Stone’ Heart Jamur, but he didn't need to know that.

“Even a moment ago, I judged your talent based on your memories. I think you'll only be able to move up to the beginning of Class 2, or maybe not even move up to Class 1, at most. I'm judging you that much. ”

The princess looked a little sad. Even though he was way above Class 2, in Grade 3, it felt like Ian's hope was a reality.

“But I was wrong.” continued Ian. “To be honest, I was surprised when you reached Class 3. You have more ability than I expected, Your Majesty.”

The princess's wrinkle turned upside down into a grin. In fact, he had a smile that was wider than before. He finally heard Ian confirm his ability and that was what he wanted to hear.

“You seduce me. I'm not that good..”.

“Class 4.” Ian replied, lifting five fingers, “I'm sure you will be able to reach Class 4.”

“If I become Class 4 ..”

“This is the level of a magician master.”

Hiley froze for a moment. That's what he really wants. He thought if he reached the level of a mage master, he would be able to free those who tried to help him. Of course, he knew that the chances of becoming one of them were slim.

But then he asked,

“What... are you serious? Me, Class 4?”

“I.” said Ian, his voice full of certainty. If he only changed his Breathing Method, the Mana Method would bring him to Grade 4. Moreover, telling him the calculation technique would be more than enough.

“She definitely has talent too.”

Of course, his ability was nothing compared to Ian, but making such comparisons was unfair to begin with. It was Ian who had extremely outstanding skills, but the princess definitely had praiseworthy talent.

“And she knows what she wants.”

Ian knows what he wants.

After all, he had made her an accomplice by making her his teacher, so wasn't that obvious?

‘She will somehow be useful to me if I train her well.’

A noble-blooded witch. Now that'll be useful.

There was no harm in having a student like him.

“Why don't we start now? Let's choose a place.”

“Oh wait!”

At Ian's suggestion they immediately began, the princess clapped her hands in consciousness as if she remembered she had prepared something.

: Will you.. will you wait a minute?”

“Is there a problem?”

“This is a gift to celebrate our beginning as teachers and students. It is also an award that I, the student, offer to my master to make a good impression. ”

Ian looked puzzled as he looked at the so-called “honor” in his hand.

First of all, it was just a thick and old book, there was nothing special about it. Same with the ring. It didn't look like an artifact, let alone a magical item.

“It looks trivial to offer as a tribute.”

The princess could not help but smile at Ian's words.

His unwilling attitude to even give heartless praise was the same.

“You think like that?” Princess Hiley asked, picking up the ring in her hand.

His red lips trembled slightly as he spoke.

“This ring. It's trivial. I made it so today will be a memory. If you look here, there's our name. See?”

The rings each have their names, ‘Ian Page’ and ‘Hiley Greenriver’ etched in the inner circle. It was ‘’ birthday ring as he said.

“Are you asking me to wear it now?”

“I..no..No!” the princess replied, surprised by Ian's direct question. “If you just take her everywhere with you ..”

Regardless of his response, Ian slipped a silver ring on his finger even though he replied.

He slipped on the fourth finger of his left hand, not the right hand where he had the Morgian ring on the second finger.

‘She put the ring on her ring finger.’.

Princess Hiley blushed without even realizing it. He can't help it. That means a lot, putting the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand. This is where you wear your engagement ring.

“This ring is rather large.” Ian commented.

Of course, he didn't know about any of this. As far as he was concerned, there was no point in knowing all the culture and trends of the nobility. He just doesn't like having two rings on his right hand.

She also dislikes wearing all her rings on the second finger in both her hands. Wearing a ring on her middle finger was a bit strange, and wearing it on her thumb was uncomfortable. And the ring was too big for his pinky. That's the only reason.

“I got the ring, but what's with the book?”

“…”

“Yang noble?”

“Ring..”.

“Princess?”

“Ah yes!”

The princess replied, jolting back from her mind. He coughed, his cheeks red from excitement and shame.

“So..so this book..” the princess stuttered. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

“Whoo...!” Well, this book is a journal that I found in the palace warehouse some time ago. A person's diary is strung together into a historical record, to be exact,” he explained as Ian flipped through the pages. It was truly a diary as he said, each beginning with a year and a date. But he saw something strange.

“Empire Year 221?”

This is the 508th Imperial Year.

That means it's a diary from almost 221 years ago.

“Who is this from? “

“It was one of my ancestors.”

That means the writer will be part of the royal family. Someone from the royal family from 300 years ago.

“The author is the first royal family born with magical powers, and the first owner of the blue robe that was revealed to you.

The explanation is more than enough.

He spoke of the Great Witch, the first of the royal family, and had gone to great lengths to become the Owner of the Ivory Tower.

The Mitchell Green River.

That was his diary.

“I read it first, and there are many stories I think you might be interested in. Especially from this section if you see here ..”

Ian quickly read through the pages the princess had chosen for him. And yes, it's quite interesting.

Hows it?

Simple reason.

“This is the period the robe was made.”

The records from four years of Empire Year 223 to Empire Year 227 are basically ‘’ time records when Blue Robe, Ian-derived Mitchell Greenriver artifact, had been created and produced.

“As I read this, I felt that it could help you rather than myself…. That's why I brought it to you as a gift. ”

“Isn't this courtesy?”

“I can lend it to you like I did with that cloak. The term is..” Princess Hiley thought for a moment. “Until the day that our relationship ends as a tutor and student?”

“I'll borrow it with pleasure.”

He loved that gift.

‘Note the time of artifact creation, yes?’

He happened to have silk, a material allegedly used to make artifacts. It was natural for him to be very interested in this, especially since he had the materials.

‘If I can make my own artifact I want ..’

Artifacts are customized only for its users. He had thought of this for a moment when he received the silk, but now it was more realistic.

‘It will help me if there are any challenges I face in the future.’

Ian was facing a problem with the dragons, but they were stronger than him. He had to grow in his abilities even to match them. It was even better if he had a powerful Artifact along with the growth of his abilities.

‘This is an unexpected benefit.’

Ian looked at the princess.

Maybe because he liked the gift.

The princess looked brighter.

“Yang noble.”

“Ya Teacher?”

“Will you hold my hand for a while?”

“You...your hand, Mister?” The princess stuttered at his sudden request. Why did she suddenly ask him to hold her hand? He knows he doesn't have a filter, but things are going too fast.

“This is not a good place to learn Breathing Methods. There were a lot of eyes watching as well. I know a great place, so let's go there. ”

“Oh..!” The princess finally understood.

He had only heard rumors about Ian's teleportation ability.

Read the latest chapter in the novel Only

It seems like he's going to do his teleportation magic.

‘What I think ..’ thought Princess Hiley, shaking her head in disbelief.

Embarrassedly, he extended his right hand.

“You might get a little dizzy. Just so you know.”

Their hands met, and just then, streams of white light engulfed them.
