Return of the Class 8 Mage
45,2. 5 years later (2)

After he decided that, everything went quickly.

Ian refused to take the bodyguards and support witches.

They would rather be a burden to him.

He just needs a small bag.

“Hai boss.”

Douglas, now 15, is out of the mansion.

He still called Ian the boss.

It becomes a habit.

"Are you still calling me boss even after you became a grandfather?"

"No, of course not. Wait, maybe yes.”

"Huh."

"Anything. Take this." Take this."

It was a bag full of flasks.

It was a durable flask protected by defense magic.

“Do you remember my father's half-special potion? I made it my own way. Maybe....."

While pausing for a moment, Douglas looked at his father calmly.

And he whispered to Ian quickly.

"It has to be a lot better than my dad."

Although he whispered, his voice was full of confidence.

His talent improved his alchemy skills quickly.

Originally, the royal alchemy course was planned for 8 years.

He should have studied it for another 3 years. However, his talent was incredible, so he had already received the title of royal alchemist. And he's 15.

'Talent don't go anywhere.'

As expected of Ian.

Talent never betrays its owner.

'I'm afraid he won't be desperate enough compared to his previous life.'

Compared to his previous life, Douglas was not in a severe state.

However, still, he grew well and improved his talent very well.

"You sure about that that it works better?"

“Of course, who am I? The first man from the Boss! The alchemist who would soon become the best in the empire! Ian Page for the best mage! And Douglas for the best alchemist!”

"You're a bad boy."

"Hehe."

Today, Ian left for Pieric province.

This is the first time Ian has left his mother, since he rewired his time.

'I think it's the first time I've moved that is out of reach of the communication ball.'

For 5 years, Ian has now finally been able to control himself not to overreact to the safety of his mother. So, he wasn't too worried about her. After the spying events, the city was more strict about crime than ever before. He was given help from royalty. Anyone would know that when they saw the number of guards around Ian's house.

“Ian.”

That was his mother.

Although many years had passed, she was still beautiful, and smiled.

He handed some food to Ian.

“Drink while you're on your way. I prepared a lot of things.”

“Bu, witches never go hungry. Wherever I go, I will be their precious guest. Even thieves may submit to me.”

“B, but still....”.

Smiling, Ian received his food container.

It was heavy, which seemed to be enough for more than two days.

“The first part is the food that should be consumed today, and the other part is the food that can be eaten after a long time. Like jerky and dried fruits ......"

5 Years have passed.

Now Ian looked like a grown-up young man.

But for Vanessa, Ian is still her son.

"Thank you Mother."

Half elixir and mother's food.

Ian needs some good operators.

"Hm."

After a while, Ian drew a summoning formula in the air.

Ian has a good solution.

A solution that only high-class Archmages could use.

"Juggle."

The magic skills of a 5th grade master were on a different level compared to the others.

Unlike 5 years ago, it wasn't just a little puppy.

"Horse spirit, Unicorn."

After he cast a spell, a horse was conjured.

Silver eyes, white skin, white hair, and white horns.

His body size and muscles were much larger than a normal horse.

"Unicorn....?"

“W, whew ....!”

"Does it really exist?"

The people inside the mansion noticed.

Vanessa, Ledio and Douglas.

Besides, all the servants and guards.

It was a natural reaction.

It was the 'unicorn' that Ian had just conjured up.

'The 'Unicorn is the perfect creature to carry a load.'

Whether people were surprised or not, Ian did not care.

A unicorn is nothing more than its best friend to carry the load.

Sometimes, for riding.

(ED Note: It was felt when unicorns were used to carry loads .. and sometimes, used for riding ..).

“See you again everyone.”

Ian put all his weight on the unicorn.

He said goodbye to everyone. It probably won't take more than a few months, but Ian felt a little awkward because he hadn't parted from them for 5 years.

“I'll be back soon, so you don't have to worry about me.”

Behind everyone's good-bye, everyone,

Ian moved forward.

He could not help but look back.

Ian, who was worried about them.

"I have to trust them."

He has to believe.

Trust the guards protecting the mansion, though,

Believe in the increased security of the city,

Trust the Crown Prince and Oliver who will visit often,

Trust the young witches who followed Ian.

And also,

"I've prepared what I can."

Ian installed a 'mana trap' that covered each side of the mansion, which could only be activated by Vanessa, Ledio, and Douglas. That would solve most threats.

"Let's go."

Hostile eastern province, Pieric.

Ian began his journey to the province.

He inhaled the air outside the royal palace, which he had not felt for 5 years.

(ED Note: Finally a new arc outside the empire ... A good time is coming ..)
