an old man and a butler stare at a young boy of 15 with scornful eyes filled with disgust the boy's name is guard he is an adopted child who had been taken in by the Trey count family at a young age at the current age of 15 he was still working as a servant for the Trey family in order to repay their favor he had been Exterminating monsters that appeared inside their territory for years while monsters extermination may not be within a servant's job if he does not do that then the lives of the people
will be in danger however that day when he had already done his extermination and gone home he found that count wanted to talk to him and had summoned him on seeing the count guard realized their expressions were filled with anger and disgust they shout and tell him that he is below trash itself this absolutely shocks him they all o ask him if he knows why they are calling him trash and guard answers in negative saying he does not have a clue why they are calling him so the count clenches his teeth and angrily asks if
he is playing dumb calling his attitude just as lowly as his he shouts if guard thought that they did not know that guard had been stealing their money guard is absolutely surprised and shocked upon hearing this he had never stolen A Penny in his life because he had always been grateful to them for having taken him in he tells them that he has never done such a thing the butler sigh and shrugs his shoulders saying that it was disgraceful of guard to refuse to acknowledge his own mistakes despite the truth having come to light he
accuses guard of always lying about killing monsters to skip work and asks how they could even trust him anymore after all this guard is exasperated ated and says that he had never skipped work and he really did kill monsters he had already shown them a lot of proof before he says that he had also gotten rid of some monsters that appeared in the territory this morning and showed them the monsters Fang as proof the count is tired of this and takes the Fang from his hands to throw it right on the ground he says it
is probably a fake anyway and that he better stop taking him for a fool despite all that guard had said and all the proof he had shown it was apparent that the count was not in the mood to believe him at all the count coughs and regains his composure before continuing to speak he says that he shall not tolerate it anymore and from that day onwards guard is banished as the count does not need useless trash like him anymore the butler calls it a wonderful decision while guard quietly takes his leave a young boy is
waiting outside the door smiling he he sees guard coming out and remarks how guard will be gone after that day guard looks at him sadly and thanks him for everything to date addressing him as Lotto lotto says that he had always hated guard and that it had been worth telling his father that he had seen guard stealing money from him guard finally understood what had happened countre loved his son Lotto way too much so much so that he could blindly believe and put Faith in whatever his son said just as he was having these thoughts
Lotto tells him that since it will be their last time seeing each other he will show him something good as a farewell gift raising his hands Lotto prepares a mid-tier fire magic called f gaball guard sees the magic coming at him and is unfaced instead he is disinterested in it because it is not even uncommon he decides to just let it hit him as it is too Troublesome to dodge When the Fire Hits him there is a large cloud of smoke around him and Lotto thinks there will be nothing left of him anymore however contrary
to his expectations he finds that only guard's clothes are in TS embarrassed that his magic had not even affected guard although he had tried to show it off so proudly he Bluffs and tries to stammer out that he had intentionally made it so that it would only destroy his clothes guard's eyes are emotionless and uninterested but he still mutters a half-hearted amazing seeing this attitude pisses off Lotto even more and he walks towards him and grabs his collar Lotto asks him why the hell guard was not surprised after seeing his Magic Guard who had been
trying to settle this peacefully realizes that Lotto will not back down like this and lose his interest in appeasing him anymore since he will not have to see him anymore anyway he decides that it would be better to just finish the conversation there augmenting his hands and strengthening them with magic he grabs lot's wrist and asks if he is done lotos wants to cry out in pain but tries to hold it in he fumbles out that he is done and asks guard to stop guard lets go and walks away leaving once and for all leaving
Lotto gasping for breath as his hand aches from that rist grab Lotto is still not over just how strong that wrist grab of guard had been looking at his own clothes he decides that he will have to change after changing he comes out and sees the count waiting for him at the doorway the count looks at the bowed head of the boy guard and tells him never to appear in his territory again as he will never let guard stay in his territory ever again guard does not try to refute or argue with him and simply
L thanks him for everything before walking away he knew he was in trouble now because he did not know anything about the common sense of this era he never went out much because he had been protecting these lands thus he had never had the opportunity to socialize with people further the way the count kicked him out means that he must have informed everyone within his territory already to reject guard no matter what it would be really difficult for him to get a job in these lands like that he had been marked by quite the Troublesome
individual indeed as he was walking away from the Mansion along a line of trees a piece of paper came flying out of nowhere and hit his face catching a hold of it he read its contents and found that it was a recruitment poster for the REM million magic Academy the world's best magic Academy located in the capital guard smiled the count would definitely never think that he would end up enrolling in a magic Academy and since it would be outside his territory he will not be able to interfere in its Affairs easily either he did
not have anywhere else to go either so taking the exam would not be a bad choice deciding so he uses the magic spell transition and opens a portal in front of it stepping into it he is directly teleported to the middle of the bustling streets of the capital as expected the capital looked extremely Lively all of a sudden seeing that a man had appeared out of thin air a person in the crowd began shouting in excitement and confusion guard looked at him and greeted him good afternoon however after observing the faces of the people around
him he knew that he was attracting unnecessary attention and some people even thought he must be nobility due to his usage of such magic after all Lotto was a noble and by his standard mid tier magic was also impressive to him thus to Mere commoners they must have never even seen mid tier magic he decides he would just be a bother for them if he uses too many spells and if he makes a commotion there it would affect the exam thinking thus he decides to just run away from the prying eyes of the crowd as
he is running away from the crowd he happens to cross an alley way a dark path where he can see a girl being harassed by a man the man is telling her that no one will save a noble like her through the corner of her eyes she catches a glimpse of guard who is passing by and pleads to him to help her the harer looks at her and says it is pointless anyway and starts pulling her dress down her shoulders however before he can read her of her Honor Guard grabs his sleeveless undershirt and pulls
him back positioning himself between the harasser and the girl guard tells him that he is troubling her and he should leave the harasser frowns and tries to tell him that they should take this chance to show those Nobles their place however that is because he mistakes guard to be a commoner when he sees the tail coat he is wearing he thinks that guard must be a noble and immediately changes his attitude he laughs and states that Nobles can't hurt commoners so he should not interfere in this matter the harer pushes him aside but guard stands
firm and tells him that it is a Butler's suit and it means he can fight against him fair and square when asked what he would do the harer who is now frustrated rushes at guard at full speed to punch him however guard simply grabs his wrist and uses the spell magic gift the person feels immense magic power flowing into him through his wrist and thinks that he must have awakened some kind of hidden power inside him however before he can Rejoice he feels his entire body convulsing in pain just then guard lets go of his
wrist thinking that this much would be enough in a split second he had infused him with a massive amount of magic power and then taken it all back essentially he had filled the man with much more magic power than his capacity allowed this caused the man intense pain looking at the condition that the harasser had been reduced to in an instant the girl looks scared however guard assures her that he will be fine and will not die asking if she can walk he takes her hand and leads her out of that place as staying there
any longer could implicate them and bring more trouble she thanks him in the middle of the street with a courteous bow and introduces herself as Yuri after hearing his name she speaks of her amazement at how he had put down that strong looking person in an instant it is at that moment that she gets curious and asks him why he is so strong he looks at her but then stares at the ground wondering just what to say to her if he told her he was a sage in his previous life she would probably not believe
it yes 600 years ago he had finished adventuring every part of the world and had continued hunting down monsters after that he managed to become a sage one day a position that protects the world's order however the biggest disadvantage of that position was that he did not have time for himself because the higher the position the more responsibility and the less free time he had research to accomplish and Magic studies to complete that was the reason he had abandoned everything and had reincarnated and chosen to live in a new era however he could not really
say all that to her now and was wondering just what kind of excuse he could make up on the spot not knowing what else to say he simply tells her that he works out a lot she's simply amazed that he could gain such power simply by working out guard is ashamed of the blatant lie he has told and tries to run off saying that he needs to apply for the magic Academy's entrance exam he says he should get going just then the girl calls out to him from behind and says that she is also going
to apply for the entrance exam however she looks down staring at the helm of her dress as she explains that she is not confident about it at all she does not have much magic power and is in fact very weak she had even tried to say that to her parents she had never wanted to go guard looks at her with a straight face and says that she should not go if she does not want to it is her own life and he thinks she should be able to do what ever she wants however on hearing
that she shouts with her eyes clenched that she simply cannot do that tears well up as she faces down hiding her face in her hands seeing her crying he asks if she is all right she explains that she is actually an unwanted child in the past she would fail even at the most basic low tier magic like a fireball even her father used to be disappointed in her and would always call her useless doubting if she was really his own daughter one day he had simply handed her a piece of paper the paper was actually
a notice for the entrance exams at the remelon magic Academy the world's best Academy for learning magic out there she stares at it blankly before immediately telling her father that it is impossible however he tells her that she is not allowed to complain he warns her saying that all of their family members had graduated from remelon and that was how they had been able to prosper if she fails the exam then she will be excommunicated failing the exam would mean complete banishment from her family Yuri tells guard that if she is disowned then she will
not be able to live in her house anymore she will lose her home and have to leave these lands too suddenly realizing she had said way too much to a stranger that she had just met recently she immediately apologizes and says that she did not mean to tell him all that and to forget it looking at her situation guard is reminded of the way he himself had been kicked out of the Trey Count's family and his lands he smiles and tells her to give him her hand Yuri is confused but hesitantly agrees and holds her
hand out to him gently grasping her hands he smiles as he realizes that although she has very low magic power her capacity is is rather large seeing him smile Yuri is even more confused he uses the spell magic gift once again however rather than how he had infused the harasser with magic power roughly this time he is infusing magic power very carefully as he does so Yuri's body starts feeling hotter and hotter as she wonders just what is going on after a while guard releases her hands and she feels power swelling up within her that
she had never even imagined could happen when she asks guard just what that is he tells her with the most straight face he can that it is the power of muscle training although the idea is absurd she doesn't pry more and simply accepts what he said after a while of walking around they finally reach Vermilion Academy and apply for the test the test is scheduled to be the day after while walking out after registering Yuri tells guard that she is still nervous guard Smiles as he says that she has registered despite that she replies that
she feels she might get accepted so she will take the challenge besides after obtaining the muscle power from guard she felt that nothing was impossible however everything still felt a bit scary to her he tells her that even if it is scary she's trying to overcome that fear and no matter what reason she has for for that it is something worthy of respect hearing those words Yuri feels motivated and decides to do her absolute best in the coming exam guard was earlier embarrassed to have said such words but seeing her spirits uplifted he smiled the
very next day it is time for the entrance exams inside a giant Cathedral likee Hall hundreds of participants are standing in a crowd a single person who is apparently the examiner is now standing at top a Podium he shouts that he will now explain the contents of the exam the exam will essentially consist of three stages the magic capacity appraisal measured the magic capacities of the students failing to meet whose requirements they would be disqualified the second was the Practical test that involved the students showing their special and most impressive magic to The Examiner failing
to impress them the students would be disqualified the last test would be a battle test essentially meaning that it would consist of One Versus one battle in a tournament with magic with these announcements it was already clear that if one fools even once below the target score for each exam then they will be disqualified on the spot the most shocking thing for students was that among all the students in the crowd gathered there to take the entrance exams that day only the top 16 of them would be the ones to pass hearing that only 16
would pass among so many guard realizes that it must be a highly selective Elite Academy for only the best of the best The Examiner also explains that the academy offers scholarships for students who achieve outstanding results on the tests this was actually a huge deal because the scholarship would not just cover the tuition fee for the Academy Instead The Academy will provide full support to scholarships students in all Pathways regardless of whether it is about getting a job getting into a specific magic college going into magic research and so on and on even guard found
it to be an attractive offer after finishing explaining everything as so the examiner tells everyone that the participants are not all Nobles and there are also commoners thus in this examination class does not apply at all regardless of their status everyone will be evaluated equally based on their ability guard hears this and understands that the academy had taken everything into mind when crafting the rules if one is concerned about one's status they will not be able to hold a fair and square dual test it is only natural to do it this way Yuri hears this
and says that she is glad that he will not be at a disadvantage just then guard Hears A Noble sneering and hearing from behind complaining about why he had to take this exam with commoners guard SI as he realizes that such people will always be there no matter where he goes the teacher tells them that they will begin their first test of magic capacity appraisal the teacher then uses magic to hand each of them a card that appears magically in front of them they to head to the designated location written on the card guard grabs
his card and realizes that he has been assigned to the magic experimental room just then Yuri comes up behind him and Compares their cards apparently they are both in the same location and thus decide to head there together as guard turns around he sigh as he mutters tiredly that he had not thought that there would be this many examinees he jokes that he might even get lost in such a huge crowd just before he can walk forward y y holds his hand guard is surprised at this and turns around in confusion to look at her
Yuri has her face down and a slight blush on her face as she explains that she had done this just so they do not get lost he is shocked at this unpredicted gesture but decides to not ask further seeing her expression thus they walk to the magic experimentation room hand in hand however when they arrive in the room the very same Noble kid who had been complaining during the examiner's explanation is standing there talking to two other Nobles seeing guard entering the room he notices his Butler costume and calls him out with a devilish smile
saying that he is wearing a Butler's costume he loudly declares that he must be a servant and asks if guard would like to receive his orders however guard does not get frustrated or riled up either and simply ignores the noble seeing that he had been IGN Ed the noble kid scrunches his face up and grabs guard's collar asking if a commoner like him can afford to ignore a noble like him guard tells him that rather than paying attention to him he should probably pay more attention to the test he looks back at the line in
front of the desk of the examiner who is measuring Mana capacities the noble kid clicks his tongue and walks away warning guard to watch out as he will pass in no time Yuri looks at guard and asks if he is okay guard tells her it is fine and that they should get in line as well when it is finally the noble kid's turn he asks the examiner how his magic capacity will be measured The Examiner places a book on the table he tells him to take the book and Infuse his magic power into it the
number of pages that turn automatically will denote his magic power he grabs the book and infuses as much power as as he can into the book he notices the book opens automatically and turns a few pages observing it carefully The Examiner says that his magic capacity is just above the target score and he passes the noble kid excitedly exclaims in happiness that he has passed meanwhile guard had been observing the process from the beginning and was impressed by how the magic technology had improved Pages would turn depending on one's magic capacity in short one should
tell how much magic they had by counting the number of pages the turn he wonders just how convenient the world has become in his era to tell one's magic capacity one had to hire a professional appraiser meanwhile in the current ERA all one needs is a magic tool for the same purpose just then the noble kid comes up to him with a self-satisfied and proud face and asks if he has just seen that looking at the kind of expression he is making guard feels that he has a resemblance to Lotto No in fact he was
absolutely the same type as Lotto the son of the count whose family he was in before he decides that he should avoid getting involved with him the noble kid tells him that it is guard's turn now and he will enjoy watching him disgrace himself as commoners do guard ignores his provocations and walks forward looking at the table and the book book on it as he tightens his gloves The Examiner sees that it is a commoner and says that he will probably fail but allows him to give it a try anyway guard emotionlessly picks up the
book and infuses it with magic power however the minute his magic enters the book the pages start flipping like crazy at an insane speed the pages turn and become a fluttering mess in just seconds all of the pages have turned and the book itself closes as the last cover turns over when the entire book has been finished the surprise does not stop there the book itself bursts Up in Flames as it combusts to ashes on the table everyone else who sees this has their jaws dropped down their shock is immense guard sees the burnt ashes
of the book and hesitantly Smiles at the examiner asking if he had passed the examiner who is still unable to believe what he had just seen shakes himself out of his TR he says that he had never seen such a thing happening before and it was an unforeseen situation but since guard's magic capacity seemed to be much higher than the target score he tells him that he passes just then Yuri tries her hand at the book and she too ends up burning the entire thing the examiner is on the verge of tears watching yet another
magic device gone and burned to ashes they were expensive after all and so guard and Yuri successfully passed the first test Yuri looks at guard and they congratulate each other on passing the test meanwhile the noble kid who had been looking down on guard and provoking him the entire time is standing there speechless guard turns around to face him and asks if he still has something to say to him the noble kid is so pissed off that he does not know how he should react his face contorts and he bites his lips unable to gather
or form an appropriate answer after suffering that humiliation he simply walks out the door cursing guard as he says that he must have simply gotten lucky guard ignores him and looks at Yuri she's currently staring at her own hands lost in deep thought when guard asks her what she is doing she tells him that it would not have been strange for her at all to fail the test and yet the book was burning like what had happened on guard's turn her expression turns serious as she says that she has realized that this is the power
of muscle guard is a bit weirded out by this response but guiltily keeps quiet since he is the one responsible for her misunderstanding after all outside the room guard and Yuri part ways as he tells her that since their test has ended she can go home by herself he decides he should also get going and turns around to leave however just then he notices is a girl running towards the room at full speed she has not noticed guard standing in her path and is still rushing forward blindly looking at the floor and shouting curses as
expected the girl crashes right into him and they both fall to the floor guard is surprised but asks if she is okay the girl's head hurts but she mutters out an apology for crashing into him and says she is fine just then she looks up and sees the label of the magic experimentation room she looks at guard and asks him if it is the right place for the magic capacity exam he looks at her weirdly and tells her that it is indeed and she is in the right place she thanks him as she gets up
and heads inside before closing the door she looks back and introduces herself as Sasha just in case they might see each other again gour smiles and tells her his name too as she goes in with a smile guard wonders to himself how it has been a while since he had seen such an energetic girl he feels like she had shared some of her energy with him too and feels motivated as he would have to do his best the next day after all the next day as he is walking to the exam destination someone calls out
to him from behind and he turns around to see Sasha coming jogging towards him they greet each other good morning when they arrive at the exam grounds Yuri notices that there is another girl with guard and approaches them with a pout on her face she asks Sasha just who she is and why she is with guard Sasha is scared of the expression Yuri is making and asks guard just who it is while Yuri and Sasha are bickering guard tells her that Yuri is his friend Yuri hears this and is simply Overjoyed at hearing him call
her a friend clasping his hands she expresses her happy she actually never had friends before and he could be said to be her first friend Sasha stares at the situation and realizes that Yuri must like a guard a lot just then the examiner arrives with two other staff members and says that they will be starting the second test the second test is a practical test where the examinees will have to appeal to The Examiner with their strongest magic as they are about to begin guard realizes that s and Yuri have started getting along as he
sees them stop their bickering he looks ahead excitedly at what all kinds of magic the other examines would use however the more he watches the more he is unimpressed all of them are only using mid-tier magic he thinks that they should be able to use greater spells like transition or high tier magic at least since it is supposed to be the world's best magic Academy soon when it is his turn and the examiner calls him forward the examiner is also Prejudiced and openly expresses his surprise that a commoner could even pass the first test just
then the others behind guard who are mostly Nobles are also jering at him as they look down on his abilities due to him being a commoner however those who had been in the room with guard when he had taken the magic capacity test expected him to do something amazing Again The Examiner Ys and says that guard can start any time he decides that they might question this but he does not intend to hold back in the slightest with a firm mind he goes with a Spell higher than high tier the highest tier of magic raising
his hands at the sky he channels his magic power as a huge magic circle appears overhead to everyone on the field with a single push he releases Hellfire into the sky at full force shocking everyone there out of their wits as the long burst of fire ends he STIs factorily smiles and looks forward bringing his hands down to a resting pose while everyone else is surprised the examiner is making a poker face now guard misunderstands that he is making a poker face because he is not impressed he thinks that since the examiner is still not
saying anything then his performance must not be enough enough and decides to try something new unbeknownst to guard The Examiner is actually just so shocked at what guard had just done that he had gone speechless The Examiner had not even finished processing what guard had just done when guard snapped his fingers and made the ground erupt splitting apart into two halves from his feet onwards The Examiner is even more shocked at this point and the students behind guard are slowly losing their sanity as watch the insane types of Magic Guard is performing however guard misunderstands
the examiner's expressionless and speechless face as one that is unimpressed he thus decides that he will go with one last magic that he thinks is sure to impress anyone the magic named life gift it was a wide area magic spell that covered the entire field the entire Fields trembled as if an earthquake had just come the rift that had formed in the soil from his earlier magic immediately heals itself as flowers Sprout where they had earlier been trees and grass and flowers bloom miraculously as the entire field becomes a beautiful wild garden briming with color
and life life gift is a magic of the highest Ste that creates life creating life from nothing is a very Advanced technique guard turns around and he hopes that it will be more than enough to pass pass him however he is just in time to see the examiner's knees giving out as he falls to the ground Sasha holds him up so that he does not hit his head the examiner then finally finds the courage to speak while everyone is shouting and cheering guard and he says that guard has passed after that it is Yuri's turn
and she raises her hands to the sky memories flood her mind as she is reminded of how her father had called her useless and questioned if she was really his daughter guard had finally given her the courage and the ability to achieve and prove to her family that she was not worthless thus she determined and stealed herself to give her all she tried the simplest spell she knew the fireball which she could not even do properly at home however with the immense amount of magic power that guard had inserted in her body the fireball that
she formed in this exam was tremendously huge and much larger ler than any Fireball the examiners had previously seen the examiner Smiles in Surprise and says that even though it was a low tier magic since the Firepower was extremely high Yuri passes yti bows gratefully for the verdict as guard Smiles at this from a distance just then Sasha walks over to him and exclaims that he was pretty amazing guard is confused and asks if she has never seen such mag magic he had assumed she must have since she was a Nobel from birth she awkwardly
refuses and says that she is sure no one has ever seen such Magic Guard falls into deep thought he had originally thought that Nobles would have at least seen highest tier magic but he will have to reconsider his perception magic technology in this world may have actually deteriorated since his time as a sage that is when he realizes that the expressionless face of the examiner was not due to him not being impressed but due to him having simply become speechless from shock he had indeed overdone himself this time just around this time Lotto has also
passed the second exam his pride has soared and his ego has become further inflated due to his passing two rounds he believes that his magic is actually first class and holds up even in the world's best magic Academy he bitterly remembers how the mere servant guard had mocked him thus he thinks to himself that he will not hold anything back the next time he sees him so that guard does not defy him ever again after finishing the second test the examiner leads them to a type of goal where the third test will be conducted if
this test is cleared then it will be officially considered a pass the examiner explains that the participants will have to U utilize their magic in a series of duels to secure Victory those who make it to the final 16 will pass the test guard looks around and realizes that only about 100 people are left so he will be guaranteed to pass if he wins even three times The Examiner then uses magic to deliver tournament brackets to everyone and explains that battles will be split off into multiple Arenas until the third round thus he orders the
students to head to their assigned areas guard looks at the order of matches and the brackets and realizes that he will not have to face off against Yuri and Sasha until they are in the top 16 the two girls there say that they will give it their all and definitely pass before bidding him farewell as they head to their own assigned Arenas soon the first round begins and it is a match between guard and redol redol is apparently the noble kid who had mocked guard before the magic capacity measuring test and had been humiliated right
after as they stand face to face ryol says that he is surprised to see that guard is still hanging on and calls him out for being way too full of himself for a commoner he continues mocking guard by saying that he will show him what the power of a noble is all about so he can finally understand his place seeing the look of ridicule and contempt in rol's eyes guard is tired and asks the examiner if they can begin interrupting and ignoring rol's lines The Examiner nods with a smile and declares that Victory will be
declared when either party surrenders or if he determines that they are unable to continue the moment The Examiner tells them to begin guard snaps his fingers making a whirl pool of water around redol who is now blubbering within it and is washed upward in an instant suddenly he falls to the ground and is knocked out cold seeing such a one-sided and immediate wind the people around them are all shocked even the old half bold man sitting in the audience observing the matches is shocked at seeing the level of skill a mere boy of 15 has
the examiner who had been speechless for a moment there soon declares guard as the winner Asgard walks out of the stage and wonders if he has overdone it the oldest seen to be deep in thought just then Lotto who had just arrived at the arena grounds spots him and realiz as guard was participating in the test too he gives out an evil condescending Smile as he wonders just how fun it will get from here on out dreaming that he will get a chance to humiliate guard in front of everyone as the rounds progress Sasha and
Yuri have also been winning their own battles in the third round guard and ends up facing Lotto himself who is grinning from ear to ear seeing Lotto walking up guard rubbed his temples as this was the worst situation as he had not expected that Lotto would be taking the exam too Lotto however feels rather happy and says that he is really stunned seeing guard there he calls him clueless and says that he must have wandered in here because he had nowhere else to go he says that it is the world's greatest magic Academy and tells
guard to get lost as it is not a place for someone worse than trash he also tells him that he will be sure to tell everyone just how useless guard is he turns around to address the audience starting off by saying that the foolish commoner must have been quite the nuisance to them all he shouts that guard used to be a servant who had once been employed under their household but he was so useless that they had to banish him from their lands Lotto declares that he would lie about monsters appearing and neglect his duties
and in the end he had even stolen money from their property as a human being he was worse than trash he declares that guard must have likely only made it this Fair out of pity but he will not show Mercy against trash like him and will take responsibility by crushing him and banishing him from this Academy as well hearing all this The Crowd Goes quiet while the old simply laughs out the examiner then tells them that he shall begin the match but Lotto tells him to please wait and step away for a bit he advises
the examiner to keep his distance since he cannot guarantee his safety The Examiner sigh at the Foolish Pride that Lotto displays but steps back and declares the start of the match without a moment's delay Lotto fires one of the most powerful Fireballs that he is capable of firing and it is aimed straight at guards head seeing it flying towards guard Lotto thinks that it is the highest Firepower that he can master and he will be sure to crush guard in a single hit however even in the face of such a fireball guard is unfaced he
does not panic or hesitate and merely raises his hand as his palm is turned towards the incoming Fireball the moment he touches his Pam he closes his fingers into a fist and the fireball disappears in an instant Lotto is so surprised at what had happened that it takes him a moment to just process it in his brain he feels a slight sensation of fear Rising through his spine as he asks how guard had destroyed his magic simply with his hand The Examiner and the audience are left speechless too on seeing the huge Fireball disappear instantly
as if it had never actually existed Lotto makes a scared face and asks what he has done guard sigh and straightens his gloves he takes a step forward as he looks lotto in the eyes and asks if that is all he has got the murderous look in his eyes drives Lotto insane with fear with Madness taking over his mind he screams out and starts spamming the Fireballs one after another as they all Rush towards gourd thinking he would be sure to win with this Lotto Smiles but guard simply sze and says that Lotto simply never
learns he swipes his hands in front of him destroying the Fireballs in a single slash this amazes the entire audience lot's legs are trembling as he realizes that the gap between them is way too much he starts pulling at his hair as he wonders what he should do as he starts getting more and more afraid he looks at guard with a fearful smile and asks him to stop resisting and Just Surrender he says he will let him work for their family again if guard does that and he will even ask his father to reinstate him
he is sweating and nervousness is visible in every gesture he makes lattos tells him it is not a bad offer and hopes he will take it guard looks down and after some thought says that it is a well-made offer indeed this brings a smile to lot's face however guard immediately says after that that although it might be a good offer he will pass on it with a raised hand he casts a ball lot's lips are upturned as he wonders just why in hell the very same magic spell that they both had used seem so much
more powerful with guard using it he tries to salvage the situation and remembers he has to put up and activate his defensive magic as a last resort he forms a magic barrier in front of him but his effort is futile as the fireball that guard had made SM mashes through the barrier like it was never even there with devastating force it hits lotto in the gut sending him crashing into the wall behind him the audience is surprised at the brutal knockout The Examiner regains his composure in a moment and declares that the winner is guard
again guard realizes that he had overdone it again but he knows that it was a necessity to go this far to teach Lotto a lesson meanwhile Lotto is lying on the ground around leaning against the wall crying as he realizes he has completely lost to guard the fact that he had lost against someone he had always considered trash was enough to shatter his Common Sense meanwhile back in count TR lands the count is staring in horror at the state of his territory he is reminded of when guard had told them and repeatedly tried to convince
him that he had never been skipping work and that he was really getting rid of monsters every every day this is when the count realizes that guard had actually been telling the truth after all the count had never thought that so many monsters would start to appear right after he had banished him the count reluctantly realizes with gritted teeth and an angry expression that he needs to bring guard back after the examiner declares that guard has won the third round guard is confused and walks over to him he tells him that he had won the
third round and enter the top 16 so he asks if this meant that he had passed the exam The Examiner tells him that he did indeed pass and will be granted entrance into the academy however the matches will still continue this is because the winner and the top performers will receive scholarships scholarship students will receive support from the academy to conduct research if guard got a scholarship then his magic research could progress faster two knowing that he decides to aim for the top spot and clenches his fist with determination after the results have been announced
the examiner says that all those who made it to the top 16 will gather and compete in one place so he is requested to proceed to the competition location guard walks out of his Arena and realizes that the earlier information essentially means that all the examinees who will be gathered at the next place are the ones who have passed he hopes he finds Yuri and Sasha there suddenly the bold man who had been watching him from the beginning of the matches walks over to him and calls out at the moment that guard turns around the
old man thrusts his walking stick forward aiming for guard's throat at an insane speed with his immediate reaction speed guard is thankfully able to dodge it by tilting his head back but he knows that the stick would have hit him if he had not dodged it the old man clicks his tongue as he retracts his stick guard asks him if there is something he needs from him the old man tells him that he can stop there and that he does not need to go to the next exam guard is a bit confused and says he
does not quite understand why the old man is saying this the old man says that it would be problematic if a commoner becomes a scholarship student guard stares at him as he hears these words the old man could continues and says that they had a reputation to uphold as the world's top magic Academy and thus guard will be attending the academy as the lowest ranked student guard is surprised at this but does not show it on his face instead he feels a slight bit of anger and irritation from repeatedly being hit in the face with
the fact that he is a commoner and is tired of the discrimination at this point he looks firmly at the old man and asks with all due respect just what kind of authority the old man had to be telling him to do all this the old man smashes his stick into the ground releasing a dangerous shock wave of magic power through the ground guard feels his threatening stair as he declares that he is the Headmaster of the academy with dangerously dark eyes the Headmaster tells guard that all he has to do is obey and not
put up a fuss or cause a commotion guard simply sigh at hearing all this and says that he understands their conversations end while Sasha and Yuri are left wondering why they could not find guard around among the 16 students the next day Yuri and Sasha are jogging in the classroom together Sasha is complaining as she says that even if it is the first day of school Yuri is way too excited and should slow down Yuri hesitantly mutters that she cannot help but worry because she does not even know if guard has passed or not as
they open the classroom door guard notices them and vice versa he waves at them with a smile and greets them good morning congratulating them on having made it through the entrance examinations Yuri is almost on the verge of tears as she sees guard and rushes up to hug him she is thankful to the heavens that guard has passed to guard is confused and surprised seeing this intimate gesture and ask asks Sasha what is happening Sasha scratches the back of her head and explains that since guard had not appeared for the scholership matches Yuri had thought
that he had failed the exams and had been worried about him Sasha mimics how Yuri had acted searching for him as if fearing that they will never be able to see each other again Yuri is embarrassed as Sasha says that and shouts out shil Sasha apologizes with an amused expression but says that she knew he would never fail and that there must have been a reason behind why he did not participate in the final test she was sure that if it was him he would have been able to claim the scholarship he wonders if he
should tell them but remembering the scary eyes that the Headmaster had made yesterday he decides that it will be better not to say anything he just awkwardly lies that a lot had happened and he changes topics to ask about why they have different uniforms Sasha explains that red uniforms are for the lowest ranked students while white uniforms are for the general students and yellow uniforms are for the scholarship students she tells guard that he must have become a low ranked student just because he did not participate in the last test meanwhile Yuri proudly says that
she has become a scholarship student and it is all thanks to his muscle power he smiles and tells her that I was not because of that but because she had worked hard and congratulates her meanwhile there is a student sitting at the back of the classroom who is jealous and irritated at the lowest ranked student guard for acting with such contempt in his position he is Whispering to himself about how guard should know his place as a failure and that he should devote all his time to study in just then he notices the books below
the desk and decides to do something that will trouble guard later just then the door opens and their teacher arrives she introduces herself as Elia a magic researcher and informs them that she will be their home room teacher starting from that day the students are happy they have such a beautiful and adorable teacher however guard is more aware of the fact that since she is a teacher of the academy she must also be a subordinate of the Headmaster and he needs to be careful to avoid drawing attention the teacher tells them to check their textbooks
which have been kept under their table however when guard reaches down to grab his textbooks he realizes that they are missing seeing his face Yuri who is sitting beside him asks what the matter is he is about to say something but hears sounds of laughing behind him he sees students wearing glasses who have stolen his books and have two sets on his table the student is also smiling at him maliciously although guard has no idea why he had done that he calmly and cooly decides to ask Yuri to lend him her Textbooks For a Moment
although he did not want to stand out he would have no choice if things kept proceeding like this Yuri readily hands over the textbooks while the students behind stare at him in confusion wondering just what he is trying to accomplish the teacher has already started inspec the students at their tables to ensure that all of them have their textbooks guard takes this opportunity to hover his left hand beside the books while his right hand goes down under his desk using an advanced copy skill he makes perfect copies of the books that Yuri had lent him
the guy behind him who had stolen the books is shocked and wonders just how he could do Advanced magic even though he was a failure just then the teacher comes around and asks why he seems to have two copies of the textbooks he's flustered and replies hastily that he has got an extra for some reason the teacher suspects something but does not say much after checking all the distributed text box she informs them that they will be having a test and they should put down all of their textbooks the students started murmuring among themselves how
the test was happening out of the blue guard is worried because he knows nothing about the common sense of this era and wonders if he will be able to answer all the questions the teacher tells them that the test will consist of three subjects that are Japanese mathematics and Magic science she starts The Hour Glass after Distributing the test papers and the test begins after a while of writing and worried Expressions the test finally ends the teacher tells them to put down their pens and collects their papers when while everyone is leaving guard is sitting
there thinking that everything is quite easy the grammar and the formulas were the same as they were 600 years ago and the magic science test consisted of intermediate magic questions only so they were pretty easily answerable he thinks that everyone will be getting a full score on the test that had been conducted that day Sasha walks over to discuss the questions and says that all the questions were very hard and even your agrees with her guard puts his head down and starts getting worried he says that the questions were too easy surprising both Sasha and
Yuri guard realizes he has messed up by answering all of them correctly and hopes he does not end up drawing any unwanted attention after finishing his first day at the Academy he starts heading to the dorm apparently remelon magic Academy was a board in school and the students would stay at the Academy while they pursue their academic interests and research guard is happy to know that he can finally settle down and conduct research on Magic in what is likely the best environment of the era asking for directions from a teacher he walks over wondering what
kind of room he will be getting to his utter surprise the dorm room that he sees is not even worthy of being called a dorm room it is barely good enough to even be called a Hut or a wooden house assembled out of broke planks ignoring that he decides to go in and opens the door to find two people already inside both of them have faces filled with Gloom and despair as they welcome him to the backyard storage shed that is the dormitory of the lowest ranked students seeing the place from the inside he realizes
that it is completely torn but at least the roof is still intact this is far better than sleeping under the Open Sky after all walking to a corner where there is hay stacked to make a rough mattress he asks if that is his living space the long-haired boy who had welcomed him says that he should probably give him some advice as a senior and warns him to prepare himself well because the lowest ranked students will face discrimination at every turn further the academy does not even care about it and tolerates it perfectly the lowest ranked
students are like commoners from a Noble's persp perspective mere targets of discrimination the two of them who had welcomed him are discussing how they wish to return to their Hometown and that 3 million Academy should just explode guard looks around the place and thinks for a bit after a moment of thought he smiles and addresses his seniors asking them if it is fine with them if he renovates the dorm room a bit both of them do not mind so guard politely requests them to wait outside while he does so the two of them wonder what
exactly must be wrong with him and just what he is trying to renovate the long-haired guy who had warned guard about the hardships ahead smiles and tells the other not to think so pessimistically he says they should at least cheer their Junior on since he was trying his best the other person dreamily looks up at the sky and wonders what kind of dorm room the normal students must be living in he thinks that they must have their own room rooms a study friendly environment and a fluffy bed too and they probably even have a large
shared bath that can be used at any time however looking at the shed that they called their dorm room their expressions dried up as they realized how harsh and cruel reality was while they are busy having all these thoughts guard is inside getting started using the magic named reform he starts moving everything inside clears space and rearranges things he knows it will be Troublesome if it stands out and gets noticed by the academy so he only focuses on renovating the interior suddenly there's a loud noise and lights Flash from inside that the two seniors watch
speechlessly while they wait outside just then everything stops and guard opens the door to welcome them inside after thanking them for waiting patiently they do not expect much and are okay as long as it has not gotten worse than before however contrary to their expectations they are completely mind blown the insides were so transformed that it was nearly unrecognizable everything was sparkling clean and new what had once been a Shabby storage like room had now transformed into a cozy dorm with a private room perfect for living the prickly straw bed that used to poke them
at night had been replaced with a soft Memory Foam bed that cradles him perfectly the homework that they used to do on their lap while sitting cross-legged could now progress smoothly at a proper study desk and chair the old crumbling floor and walls full of holes were now sparkling clean so there were no more cold drafts and there would not be any more creepy crawly bugs either guard leads them to a specific room and tells them to have a look the two seniors who are already surprised beyond words Wonder just what what else there could
be they are absolutely amazed to find that guard has even made a nicely large shared bath that they can use they asked him if he has done all of this with his magic after all they had never heard of any kind of magic that could do something like this one of them even doubtful questions if he is really the lowest ranked student he smiles and says that he is indeed the lowest ranked student the both of them have tears in their eyes and they rush in to embrace him out of gratitude thanking him profusely one
of them even asks him to let him call guard a master Artisan guard awkwardly Smiles on seeing the heartfelt expression of their gratitude he's simply glad that they both look happy as compared to their gloomy sad expressions from earlier and thus a new part of his life starts at the remelon magic Academy as a bottom feeder student and you you know what I find nice all the comments saying not be why don't you do part 2 3 4 5 anymore even after I say we've recapped all the chapters like we did here some Bros are
