reat, but not to the level of shocking.

“Was I rude?”

“Not at all.
It felt refreshing.”

“Then I am glad.
But what are you doing?”

“It's nothing special.
Just wanted to spend time alone.”

Siegfried said with a smile.

Jamie, who heard him, said.

“… don’t tell me?”

Jamie took a step back with suspicious eyes.

At that, Siegfried narrowed his eyes and waved his hands.

“Not like that! Don’t misunderstand!”

“Really?”

“Even though I know that I am crazy, I have no hobby of touching children.”

Seeing that, Jamie laughed.

“I was joking.”

“… being pranked twice makes me lose my mind.”

Siegfried waved his hands as if he lost.

Probably because he was young, this elder didn’t really seem like an authoritative figure.
Jamie thought it would have been like this because of his status.

“Actually, the reason I came here isn’t just to offer a chance for you to the magic world.
Rather, there were other reasons.”

“Other reasons?”

“Best in the world.
I came here hoping to welcome the greatest genius in history…”


“So, how was your impression?”

Jamie asked with confidence and not arrogance.

Siegfried answered.

“You live up to your name.”

Siegfried’s eyes had been contemplating Jamie’s insides the moment he laid eyes on him.

‘That is ridiculous.’

He heard rumors about Jamie entering the 6th class.

He thought it was an exaggerated rumor.
Actually, he thought he might be 5th class.

In fact, he thought 5th class could be too much too.

A 7 year old in 5th class.
It was a state a lot of people couldn’t reach even after longing all their lives.

Siegfried also achieved a high level at a young age, but there was a huge difference between 15 and 7.

‘But it’s true.’

Jamie was a 6th class magician.

And it wasn’t at a state of being a beginner at 6th class, he was gearing up to rise higher.

And mana?

‘It was blinding.’

The mana which filled Jamie's entire body was dazzling enough, making him doubt if the mana in his and the child’s body was the same.

And that small body had just one core.

‘Like Marquis Linmel.’

But superior.

He knew a bit about the breathing method of Marquis Linmel.

He wasn’t aware of the concept, but he thought that it was pretty amazing.

‘He met Marquis Linmel right? Did the Marquis tell him about it?’

That was a possibility but even so, it was a superior breathing method and Jamie improved it for himself.

It was unreasonable to think that an 8 year old boy could have such a talent.

Only then did Siegfried understand the way people looked at him in the past.

“Wonderful.
Really wonderful.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

It could be embarrassing for a kid to receive the compliment, but Jamie didn’t seem like it.

“But what kind of place is the Magic world?”

“I will give the kind of answer that young lord wants to hear.”

“I want the naked truth.”

Jamie’s voice was low as he spoke.

Siegfried smiled and relayed the conversation he told the Count earlier.

“… so now there are three factions in there.”


“And the 7th elder didn’t want to join them?”

“I didn’t, and I don’t want to either.
Isn't it the best to stay free?”

Jamie partly agreed to it.

The Magic World was at a stand still.
And the stagnant places were bound to rot over time.
Maybe it had already started to rot.

The history of the Magic world is the same as the history of the Seldam Kingdom.
On the day the kingdom was formed, the Magic world was created.
A gigantic organization which has been in existence for over 500 years.

There was no way such a long running place could keep their initial focus.

Count Welton hated that.
And when Jamie’s expression darkened, Siegfried asked.

“Scared?”

“Huh?”

“Because the damn grown-ups won’t leave the young lord alone in the future.”

Despite being mature, Jamie was an 8 year old kid to others.
All temptations which a child couldn’t say no to would be given.

Will he be able to overcome it?

Aside from the phenomenal talent, Jamie lacked experience.

The old monsters of the Magic world were trying to recruit Jamie.

‘Unlike me, he is too young and might be unsure.’

In addition, he possessed the 9th class talent which had never appeared in humans till now.

What if the child with those qualities loses this path?

In other words, what if he joins a faction and the other two aren’t able to keep a check on him?

In the course of training a kid with great talent, it might bring a war between factions.

And if Jamie really can touch 9th class…

‘The balance in power will be disrupted.’

Siegfried thought that he wanted to see it at least once.

But his thoughts were wrong.

“Isn’t it good for me to be found?”

“… what do you mean?”

“Well, if people come to find me, they will have to pay a fair price.
If the deal is okay, I will accept it.
Isn’t that a win-win for each?”

Despite it being brief, Siegfried learned a little about Jamie.

‘This child…’

Jamie looked at the stiff face of Siegfried.

“If you need something, you take it.
I wonder if the famous people in there would let me even touch that library if given rights?”

At that Siegfried laughed.

He felt like the old people back in the magic world should start getting nervous.

Jamie Welton…

‘This kid is already a monster.’

Siegfried thought as he looked at the eyes of Jamie which shone purple.
