Who was he?

Frizzy hair, and half-closed eyes.

The emotional atmosphere of the room shattered, and Shirone and Reina turned their heads at the same time.

Shirone wasnt looking any less suspicious.

So your names Shirone. atom Dont worry about it. admire Any friend of Rians, is also my friend. atlas Even though hes a little pathetic, he still takes responsibility for what he says.

He knew she was pretty open-minded, but there was a high barrier between the aristocrats and the commoners that shouldve been hard to ignore.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

But you are one of a kind. alien Really, how did you think to play like that?

From the receiving end, that could have been perceived as rude, but Reina accepted it rather well.

Genuine trust is born from doubts and suspicions.

What? voyage Shirone was the one who did it? antenna And here I was thinking it was your hysteria acting up again.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone! aluminum Dont be fooled! altitude This woman is a witch! admire She might eat you one day!

Rian, why did you lie to me? anxiety Your sister is a kind and nice person.

Shirone frowned slightly.

Hoho, Im sorry. admire My little brother is extremely immature, but Im relieved to see that he has a friend like you. timber Take good care of him for me.

Rians expression looked really serious, so Shirone could not reply back.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Reinas eyes sparkled at the sight of Shirone, who lowered his head shyly.

Oh, no. canvas I dont

Youre quite the cutie.

Despite having an abundance of knowledge, Shirone was still an innocent child in regards to emotion. avalanche After all, he is still only sixteen years old.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

If hes so cute, why dont you just take him and live together. altitude I would love to have Shirone be part of my family. apple Muhahaha!

Rian, who gulped down a cup of water from a table, said while pouring himself another glass.

Reina realized something from her brothers words.

Shirone was even more embarrassed at Rians joke, but what he was feeling didnt seem so bad either.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

What are you talking about? admire Of course. meadow Shirone is like a brother to me, but I dont mind giving a witch like you to just about anyone. aluminum Rather, Shirone is worth too much. anxiety Youre not worthy of Shirone.

Rian retorted, looking flabbergasted.

Oho, it looks like youre close enough to even give your sister away.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

As soon as she finished talking, Reina jumped high enough to the point where it could easily exceed a persons height.

Oh, really?

While still frozen in surprise, she landed in front of Rian and pulled her brothers ear.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It hurts! armor I said it hurts!!

OWW! airport It hurts! avalanche It hurts!

Although she was now a musician, Reina was once a talented swordsman equivalent to Rai.

Ouch!

Reina, who was staring at Shirone and Rian with a grim stare, pulled his ear roughly one last time and let go.

Just know that your friend was the one who saved your life. antique Tsk tsk tsk, do everyone a favor and learn a thing or two from your friend. silence Such an immature kid.

Tsk, it was only because you held me in a sensitive spot.

When did I ever care?

Rian grumbled while rubbing his ear. atom Then he looked back at Reina again.

You havent heard? antenna The news regarding Rai?

Rai is taking a certified exam this time. matrix Thats why Im here to pick him up. accent I left with grandfather, but he said he was going to meet a friend halfway.

Rian looked shocked.

Of course, there was also the non-certified license.

The exam was held once a year, with only a few applicants being allowed to take the test. zenith And out of those few, the ones who obtained official recognition were less than 30.

A certified license was the dream of all nobles, regardless if you were a swordsman or mage.

Reina ruffled Rians hair.

Shirone bowed his head, pushing away the sad feeling.

Although the chance to see Reina again may never come again, one thing was clear

Yes. amber Goodbye.

He would never forget the moment he played the piano with her.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps that is why Shirone, who was to leave the mansion tomorrow, was able to gather up a lot of courage.

Hm?

Rian. academy Does she your sister, I mean.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

As soon as he asked that question, a huge amount of regret washed over him, but there was nothing he could do as the words had already left his mouth.

Rian blinked, then smiled widely, his teeth showing.

Huh? absorb What am I hearing now? acquire Boyfriend?

Of course, miss.

The maids working in the kitchen looked up at the second floor, but Reina just laughed.

Theyre just messing with each other. matrix Alright, all we have to do is steam it. arrow I removed the poison, so please do the rest.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

When the cooking began in earnest, the maids were back to being absorbed in their work.

Head butler Louis.

However, the attention of the man in charge of the mansions affairs did not leave the 2nd floor.

That was 5 years ago and he was still in his mid-thirties. shadow He was wearing rimless glasses with a cold expression.

The maids may not be able to remember, but he, the head butler, remembered very clearly.

He was a person who rose to the head of the butlers at a young age due to his calculation skills and thorough personality.

Shirone, they called him?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

His glaring eyes turned to a butler near him.

Why is he with the youngest young master?

He was the contract boy brought in by Temuran for the relocation of the Great Library.

For him, who decided to devote his life to the prosperity of the Ogent family, it was not a matter that could be simply overlooked.

With that level of skill, he would be able to easily defeat a bandit group near the city.

The problem was Schema!

However, If he were to have a match against someone who learned official swordsmanship, he still had a long way to go.

Rians impulsive, wild style was his biggest advantage, but it also acted as his biggest weakness.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

HA! action HA!

There were times when he would have to look back with a cold mind, but he was only moving forward.

Everyone has their own way. canvas The downside of not having a clear mind becomes nothing compared to that heating power of his. echo Its obvious that we have no choice but to continue like this!

His swordsmanship is too tactless and honest.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian came back panting like crazy, but his eyes were on fire.

He was wielding a club that was twice as heavy as a longsword with only his physical strength.

Kite couldnt imagine how much Rian would improve if he were to learn how to activate Schema.

Stop! 10 minute break!

Big sister did? echo Whats going on? matrix If its because of my big brother, I dont care. avalanche He can do whatever he wants.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Louis seems to have reported something to the Lord. timber I dont know the exact details, but I heard it revolved around a sort of friendship between you two

Damn it!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 12: First Step Toward a Dream (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian looked at him weird.

Unfortunately, you cannot.

Did you not say he was a commoner?

His student, who did not understand the ways of the world, had gotten someone into trouble.

What does that have to do with anything?! athlete Master, are you that kind of person?! album You said it too! portal Anyone who can converse with a sword can become a friend!

Kite clicked his tongue.

Master!

So I should just stay still?! silence I reached out to Shirone first. admire I will not give up on him! altitude I am no coward!
