Xyrus Academy.

It's famous for having produced scholars, entrepreneurs,

royal guards, public leaders, and military officers.

A prestigious institution

where all children who pursue magic in this kingdom seek to learn.

And now...

here I am, encountering the director who holds all authority

at this incredibly well-accredited school.

I'm pleased to finally meet you,

Arthur Leywin.

I'm curious about whether or not Vincent was exaggerating.

Let's take a look.

Okay.

Very good. Then let's begin.

#11 The King's Decision.

This child is shockingly resolute.

I can sense an incredible power;

the kind you would expect from the director of the most famed magic school in the nation.

I suppose if I show off a little, it should prove that Vincent wasn't lying.

First...

I'll use wind element magic.

How's that?

Wha—

I'm still not getting as much firepower with wind as I do with fire and water.

In that case...

She defended?!

A wall of wind?

I'm impressed.

You might overestimate your strength a bit,

but you definitely are remarkable in both sorcery and combat skills.

So, shall we finish?

Try not to lose consciousness.

The element of sound?!

Is she some sort of unique sorcerer?!

You pass.

The state of your wind magic makes me want to teach you personally.

Not only that, but you can use the earth element too, can't you?

I trust there's even more than that?

She's as sharp as I'd expect.

Well... there's water.

Don't you have something you want to tell me?

Considering you came all this way to show me your power.

She's seen right through me.

You're right.

I'm here because I need the influence and authority that you possess.

I want to use them to protect my family.

If you're willing to share them with me, I'll enroll at the academy,

and revere you as a teacher whom I owe everything.

I hope you realize even the Sapin royal family hasn't tried such a blunt negotiation before.

You must be pretty sure of yourself.

I am. I believe what I'm offering is worth your while.

And I think you'll feel the same way.

That said, if I'm going to enroll,

I think it should be when I'm the same age as the other children.

That's three years from now.

If your studies began now, you'd be so much stronger.

Why the hesitation?

Because I want to live my life to the fullest.

I want to become an adventurer, and learn all about this world.

There'll be time for the academy after that.

Well, it seems you've already decided, then.

So, have you told your family yet?

No, I was going to after this.

Fair enough.

Once you've convinced them, we'll complete the deal.

No! Absolutely not! Inconceivable!

Afterwards, I used Vincent as an intermediary to tell Alice and Reynolds about my powers,

and how I want to become an adventurer.

We only just got him back! And now we're talking about him doing something so dangerous?!

I should have told them myself.

No. There is no way. Over my dead body! Don't be angry, Mommy! Don't be angry!

Alice, let's at least hear him out.

I can't believe you'd say that, knowing how much we've been through already!

Don't you feel the same way?!

Well, I've been thinking about it.

What if Arthur went with someone to protect him?

No way. Reynolds, you can't be seriously considering this, can you?

Our son is too young to be off on a journey!

It wouldn't be a journey. I'd be returning home every few months,

and if you want, I can even make it more frequent than that.

You mean it?

I do. I promise.

Big brother, you're leaving soon?

Not at all! Not for a while, still.

Okay, then.

Mom, I don't intend on leaving right away.

I was looking forward to coming to home a lot.

In that case...

But I want to see more of the Dicathen Continent.

There's too much that I don't know.

And besides...

I want to feel the same things you did when you were adventurers.

That's your reason?

Yeah.

Staying here simply to train would be dull.

I wasn't willing to tell them about my desire to use the techniques I've obtained

to test how strong I am.

You still haven't told us about your different elements.

Come on, Arthur. No more secrets.

Right.

What Alice said struck me through the heart.

If only I could truly share everything with them...

It's only natural that your mom worries.

Danger goes hand-in-hand with being an adventurer.

Your mother might've interrupted me before, but this is what I think:

What if we sent Arthur out with someone we can trust?

So, is anyone up for the job?

Sorry, but I have to pass.

Babysitting isn't my thing.

And I can picture Arthur killing me in my sleep one night.

I know what you mean. You're rude enough to warrant it.

True.

She's right.

Yeah. Plus, he's just plain unpleasant.

At times, yeah.

What the hell?!

You're the one who said it!

I wouldn't do that.

To be honest, it's not like there's much I can offer in return.

But if you do go with him, I'll do whatever I can to repay you.

Don't make it sound like that.

Being able to watch out for Arthur as he grows up would be great for us, too.

Durden's right.

For sure.

I volunteer.

Jasmine? I thought you preferred working alone even more than Adam?

It's for Arthur's sake.

I see. I was kind of hoping it'd be Helen or Durden,

but when I think about it, in terms of combat skills, Jasmine might be the best choice.

Durden is best suited

to protecting a group with spells that affect a large area.

Protecting people really isn't my strong suit, either.

Jasmine, are you sure you don't mind?

Looks like we've got a winner, then.

When you consider she's an augmenter who can use elements,

and that she hit light orange last year,

plus her wind magic skills, she really does seem suited for the job.

Agreed. I would've liked to have gone along too, but...

There's always next time, Durden.

Thanks, Reynolds.

I'm grateful, and I look forward to working with you.

Well, that's one less thing to worry about.

Lilia!

No fair practicing on your own!

It looks like Lilia is now capable of meditating without me projecting mana for her.

No fair!

I know. I'm sorry.

Eleanor will likely awaken at 7 or 8 years old.

Assuming she has the perseverance to keep working at it.

You wanna practice together, then?

Not today.

That said, it might be better for her to not awaken too young.

I'd be worried if she started drawing too much attention.

Dad, can I head over to the auction house?

I want to pick out a sword.

Yeah, of course.

I see. You wan t a sword to use for the adventurer's guild entrance exam.

Feel free to look around.

Thank you.

You've decided to become an adventurer, then?

Yes.

Arthur is late.

Should we go pick him up?

He's very serious about the choices he's making. Let's be patient.

Let's be patient, Mommy!

You've got a point.

This is unbelievable. Such a huge selection of swords, and I don't want any of them.

Not this one.

Or this.

It may be because the majority of soldiers in this world are augmenters.

As a result, the majority of swords are either two-handers or bigger one-handers.

A sword I can use with this small body...

...is proving elusive.

Sylvie?

Did you find something?

A staff? That's not what I'm looking for.

Fine.

This is heavy!

The weight is too unbalanced for it to be a staff.

It feels more like a sword.

Could it require the use of an element?

I doubt it, but...

It's worth trying.

No way.

This shouldn't be.

What a beautiful sword.

It's more striking than any weapon should be.

It's still a bit too heavy to make great use of, but...

Sorry about this, Mr. Helstea.

This sword...

"Dawn's Ballad W.K. IV."

What could that mean?

I'm okay. It's nothing.

The weight and balance have changed.

Not only that, but the handle and grip are now a length perfectly suited to this body.

I know, Sylvie. You hit the jackpot.

In my past life, any number of incredible swords passed through my hands,

yet never once did I find any of them as perfect a fit as this one.

This does remind me of a story I heard.

There was once an expert craftsman who made a scepter for a single individual,

that practically became an extension of them.

But that involved the owner infusing it with mana.

The idea of a weapon adjusting itself to its wielder is unheard of.

W.K. IV. Who could that be?

Arthur, time to head home.

Alice is at home making dinner.

One second!

I'll take this.

So, you found one that you liked.

It's not as fancy as the other swords, but I swung it around and took a liking to it.

It's a little off-balance. Maybe the craftsman tried to make it lighter.

But that might be perfect for you, Arthur.

What do you say, Vincent?

As long as Arthur's happy, I'm good.

Thank you.

What's that staff around your waist?

Huh...

Have to act normal.

I saw it on the floor. It felt sturdy and about the right weight when I picked it up,

so I was thinking about using it during practice.

I didn't know we had something like that.

Jameson, can you check the inventory?

Oh, I think I remember that item.

Some old guy was yelling, "There's no one fit to use it!" and dumped it on us.

We've had a few appraisers check it and they all said it's just a sturdy, hard staff.

It seemed like a waste to toss it out, so I kept it in here.

I see.

Should I have a higher ranked appraiser check it out?

W-Well...

If it's valuable, then I'm sorry...

But I like how it feels, and I was hoping to keep it.

Uncle Vincent.

You don't need to apologize!

It was just gathering dust anyway!

Take it with you!

Thanks, Uncle Vincent!

Come on! He called me uncle!

It worked!

For a period after that,

I spent a pleasant times with Alice, Reynolds, Eleanor, and the Helstea family.

But I was also preparing to become an adventurer.

It has now been nine years since I came to this world.

Happy birthday, Arthur!

Thank you.

You're already nine. I can't believe it!

Come on, now, Alice, save the sentimentality for after the party.

Well, everyone, don't be shy! Eat your fill!

And now with dinner done, it's time for the presents.

First, something from us.

Those gems on the top have been enchanted with healing magic by me.

Thank you, Mom!

Next is ours.

Arthur, will you marry me?

No way.

Don't tease the boy.

This one is for you, Arthur.

And this is for you, Alice.

If Arthur's mana ever reaches a dangerously low level, your ring will light up, Alice.

This is from us.

It's a scroll that can produce sounds.

I'll be real with you. It cost an arm and a leg—

You use mana to leave a message on the scroll.

When Alice receives it, she can make one reply.

That's great!

Thank you.

I'm so grateful for all these wonderful presents.

I might be leaving tomorrow, but Mom, Dad, Eleanor, Uncle Vincent, Auntie Tabitha,

Lilia, everyone in the Twinhorns...

I'll work hard to make sure you don't have to worry about me.

Well said, Arthur.

Just be careful, okay?

I don't care about you becoming famous or making a bunch of money.

I just want you to stay safe.

I know.

Something I'd felt for a while was confirmed today.

In this current life, I have family and friends who love me.

I never want to lose the feeling of security that gives me.

I care about them more than anything else.

And if it ever seems like I might lose them,

I will fight with everything I have in their defense.

And for that... I need to become stronger.

Stronger than when I was a king in my past life.

Looking good.

You could pass for an S-Rank adventurer.

You really think so?

You're a strong boy, but you shouldn't let that make you cocky.

Don't try to solve everything on your own; remember to rely on Jasmine.

Okay.

You don't have to worry. I'm fine.

We'll all be fine.

You be a good girl too, okay, Sylvie?

Well... get going.

And don't forget to put your ring on.

Okay.

Arthur, we're all rooting for you.

Have a good trip.

I'll be back.

Are you ready?

Yeah. Let's go.
