    • by Cristae 168"Come on, you know! Mages sent as outpost mages are just dregs—so worthless the Kingdom doesn’t even bother treating them like bugs!" Well, she wasn’t wrong. And apparently, there were quite a few outpost mages across the continent who thought as Asha did. Some of them did go back, but the majority remained here. "The Mage King isn’t going to waste magical power trying to control kids like us. He’d sooner just wipe us out all at once…" "Jeez, why are you so scary…" "It's…
    • by Cristae 236 ‘Vicious little scoundrels.’ Yet even such a disjointed compromise would soon come to an end. In the end, the film company would be the first to throw in the towel. When it came to dungeon raids, ordinary people were inevitably left on the sidelines. “But Groo, is all the work finished?” At the manager’s question, Groo turned to see the adults nodding their heads. It meant the grownups would handle things from here, so the children were now free to…
    • by Cristae Episode 188 Crash! Above the torrent of pouring rain came the sound of a building’s roof caving in. The worst typhoon in decades battered every corner of the once-prosperous harbor city like the hammer of a vengeful god. Right in the heart of this devastation—showing just how powerless human civilization was in the face of nature—stood Giuseppe. The storm winds raged and tore at the earth like mad, and yet, within what seemed the eye of the typhoon, not a single fold of…

      by Cristae KRRRRUMBLE! The two professors, locked in a fiery standoff, both looked up in alarm. The sky above the mountains had turned jet-black. “What’s this…?” “Huh?” Both were seasoned and widely traveled—so they recognized at once that what was happening was unheard of. The sky over the mountains was swallowed in shadow, the sun blotted out, daylight vanishing with shocking speed. “Taotie bastards could do this?!” “No way! Even a hundred taotie couldn’t pull this…

      by Cristae ‘Hmm. This might be good for a conference presentation.’ Professor Zorzic, having finished his notes, thought to himself. A case as rare as this was of real value for a presentation to imperial magicians. Which imperial magician could have observed something so unusual? “Well then, Wardanaz! Since you’ve overcome that stumbling block, practice the rest of the fire element spells.” “Yes, Professor.” Given instructions to practice all the lower-circle fire spells he’d only…
    • by Cristae Episode 216 Rustle, rustle. Someone was brushing my hair aside. I slowly lifted my eyelids. It was dawn; after confessing the truth to Grandfather and insisting I had to head south, perhaps due to the release of tension, my condition had suddenly worsened. In the end, it seemed I’d taken the strong medicine Borvel gave me and fallen asleep. Sleep comes, even in a situation like this. I thought it was rather absurd as I gazed through the darkness at the figure seated by my…
    • by Cristae Chapter 147 The first thing to catch the eye was her jet-black hair. “Ugh, the one who looked exactly like me has gone and turned just like Leviathan…” How indignant I was the first time I saw it! “What is this! Get out of my way! I’m going to dye my hair too! I took a certain pride in having the same color as my youngest one!” “Waaah, Grandpa, you have white hair! I have silver!” “What’s the difference?” “It’s different! It’s definitely…
    • by Cristae Episode 98 “There’s a seat prepared for you over there.” I peeked toward the maid’s outstretched hand. At the round table, my brothers and Khalid sat with unashamed faces. When had they escaped all the way over there? “You left me behind!” As I grasped my skirt, preparing to stomp over, a few girls grabbed my arm. “Ah, would you mind sitting with us…?” “Sorry. I promised to sit with my brothers…” “Oh, I see. That’s too bad… Oh!” At that moment, the…

      by Cristae "Excellent!" The club seniors were impressed by Lee Han’s answer. For brand-new second-year students to be so vigilant against the Skeleton Principal’s minions… The Blue Dragon Tower’s second-years already displayed a key virtue needed at Einrogard. “Good attitude. In fact, the principal will probably ambush you several times this week.” “……” Lee Han and his friends’ expressions darkened—none of them wanted to hear that tidbit. Unaware of their thoughts, the club…
    • by Cristae Bang! I kicked open the door to Mister’s office. He looked up from a discussion with Butler Adolf, surprised. “Dad…!” I grinned from ear to ear. It’s coming! The word’s coming out! “‘Dad’ is a fresh one.” Leviathan strode over with arms outstretched, ready to lift me up. “Wait.” I raised both hands lightly to stop him. “I just grew about an inch, you know. So you don’t have to treat me like a little kid anymore—” “What are you talking…
    • by Cristae 254“……” “……” “……What.” As I pulled away, I saw Kal’s face, utterly stunned. He looked as if he’d just witnessed the sun rising in the west. ‘…Uh.’ What’s with that reaction? ‘Was that… not right?’ Khalid blinked and murmured, “I was just about to say… there was blood on your lips…” He trailed off, unable to finish. His face was flushed all the way up to his hairline, and my heart gave a sharp thud. What? ‘C-come to…
    • by Cristae With a crash, the books stacked in Liam’s arms slid to the floor. “You little rascal!” He darted over and scooped Rubian right up. “Ah! The books! The books!” “What’s going on here? And how did you get in? Aren’t we supposed to be pretending not to know each other?” “That’s right! We are! This is a secret rendezvous just between you and me…!” “I love secret meetings, just us two.” Liam hugged Rubian tightly. As he looked over his little sister for the…
    • by Cristae 213 As the brilliant light blazing from the potato faded, only a pitch-black, charred potato was left in its place. ‘It failed.’ ‘It’s burnt to a crisp…’ Facing the jet-black potato, Joorim and Gidan bit their lips, watching Groo for her reaction. A failed skill wasn’t a big deal, but in the trembling of the child’s lips and the shifting of her gaze, too many emotions played across her face for them to ignore. Gidan sent a silent look to Joorim, as if urging him to do…
    • by Cristae Episode 264 “It’s a medicine that creates a temporary core for a mage who has lost theirs. The principle is to absorb mana from the air and maintain a new core within the body.” The atmosphere in the room changed instantly. “But its effects don’t last very long—you might have to take the medicine for the rest of your life to maintain the newly formed core. Of course, if you can receive a steady supply of mana from someone else, that wouldn’t be necessary…” The girl…
    • by Cristae Episode 89 Bang! Bang! From early morning, the sound of celebratory fireworks boomed through the air. No wonder—the highlight of the Verdant Festival, the children's competition day, had dawned! "Finallyyy!" I opened my eyes wide and hurried to get ready. Instead of the cumbersome dress I'd worn on the day of the prayer, I chose comfortable clothes fit for activity, put on my mask, and together we all headed for the competition hall. The enormous arena was swarming with…
    • by Cristae 194 Several days passed. Next week at last would be my long-awaited coming-of-age ceremony! “Hm.” Wrapping myself tightly in a blanket and clutching a handful of warming stones, I was out at the training arena. ‘If the Mage King comes after me, how would he approach?’ There had been no particular word as yet from the princess, who was still staying at the imperial palace. I recalled recently accompanying Father to meet His Majesty the Emperor. “I had a hunch, but as…
    • by Cristae 228The young lady gave an awkward laugh. “Um, sorry once again. This may seem a bit much, but we’ve just barely come through a family crisis.” “……” “We’ll probably have to stay all bunched up for a while. Separation anxiety is at its peak…” “Ah.” Mariel’s eyes went dark. The ducal house must be suffering from some dreadful plague. It wasn’t exactly surprising. After all… they were always that sort of people. “Well, then, pardon us,…
    • by Cristae Episode 169 Void was just as shocked. ‘She’s been hunted down all this time?’ Back when the Academy was half-destroyed by that incident,Rubian had been in grave danger. Realizing it only now, he shivered at the thought. Wasn’t he about to stand by helplessly and watch his precious little sister get hurt, completely unaware? Of course, Leviathan had told them not to worry. That the adults would deal with anything that threatened Rubian, so they should continue on as always. The…

      by Cristae The club name was so unusual, Lee Han pondered it. -Teleportation- Club? Sounded like spatial magic research. "Interesting club name." "Really?" Ratford brightened. "Knew you’d like it, Wardanaz." "I need practice with spatial magic this year." His other magic disciplines would be extensions of what he’d learned last year, but time-space magic was almost a fresh start—which worried him. If there were upperclassmen researching spatial magic, it would be a huge help. "Spatial…
    • by Cristae Episode 256 The Mage King strained desperately to move his mana, but it was futile. This was a new restraint, crafted by Rubian solely for the purpose of binding the Mage King. Had he fully transformed into a dark mage, things might have been different, but his plan had stalled partway through. The Mage King was overcome by the feeling that he’d been ensnared by Rubian herself. “Guards! Guards! Capture the intruders! Where are my mages?” He shouted, but no one came. Why not?…
