If you decide to go to the mansion with this sword, Ill let you go. athlete But dont make a step if youre not determined enough. arrow It will only make things worse. atom This situation is already out of your control.

Rian didnt know what his teacher wanted him to do with the sword in particular, but he understood his intentions.

While looking at Kite with fierce eyes, Rian smiled.

Master.

Although the time to say goodbye was short, he was happy he was able to leave his mark.

My part is over!

May the future of my student be filled with good fortune.

The atmosphere inside the mansion was cold.

He felt like he was standing in the middle of a Colosseum.

Next to him, Temuran, the deputy butler, was staring at Shirone, his stress plain for all to see.

Louis, the head butler, wiped his glasses behind the sofa where the immediate family members were sitting.

He was kneeling under all the gazes of hostility and contempt.

Report, head butler.

Yes, my Lord. apron Shirone, a servant hired by Temuran, is accused of damaging the prestige of the Ogent family during his year-and-a-half-long stay here. harbor The workers have witnessed the youngest young master and Shirone mingling, and I also heard Shirone talking to him carelessly. amber Attached are the testimonies of the workers in regards to the case. acquire Temuran wrote for them.

Flap! sphere Flap! afford While the papers were turning, Reina sneakily went up to Shirone.

As Bischoff silently raised his hand back, Louis passed the document into his hand.

He was not pretending to be calm! adjust He really is looking at the situation calmly!

Not a speck of anxiety was seen in his eyes.

Contrary to expectations, Shirone looked so calm that it gave Reina chills.

Shirone, dont worry too much. arrow Ill try and convince my dad. ability Nothings going to happen.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was not afraid.

After looking through the file, Bischoff spoke.

This was because the future was just full of possible outcomes. anchor Nothing had been decided yet.

With a cold impression along with his pitch-black hair, he had the power to petrify with his words alone.

Reina, I did not ask you. audit Ill give you a chance to speak. zenith Stay quiet for now.

Shirone Arian, is what is written in this file true?

Dad, Shirone and Rian

Bischoff, a logical man who followed fundamental principles, was not a person who could be persuaded through mere emotions.

Reina knew this was not gonna be easy.

Shirone opened his mouth.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

If the youngest young master and I are actual friends, what would happen to him?

I would like to ask a question.

All the servants who were watching were surprised at how composed Shirone was. matrix However, it did not phase Bischoff one bit.

Tell me.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Bischoffs words had thorns, but Shirone was satisfied.

Nothing will happen. abandon Right now, were here to question you, a commoner. alien Whatever misdeed Rian has commited, as long as hes part of this family, we will continue to protect and support him.

Reinas eyes turned affectionate at Shirones selflessness. auction He thought of his friend before himself, even in such a situation.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then Im glad. crystal Rian and I are friends. shadow Weve been friends for a year, and well continue to be friends.

Shirone, who let a little loose, told the truth with a bright smile.

No one dared to speak up or express themselves, but Shirones words actually caused a great stir.

In particular, the male servants who lived with him were the most shocked as his friendship with the youngest young master turned out to be true.

What seemed like a baseless rumor that had been passed around ended up being true.

Stupid boy. crystal He doesnt understand how scary this world is.

A son of a noble family and a son of a mountaineer have been friends for over a year.

Reina stepped up.

Dad! academy Listen to me for a second! adapt You said youd give me a chance to talk!

You must take the name of the Ogent family quite lightly. galaxy Shirone, I will execute you as the Lord of this house. amber Since you came here signing such a contract from the beginning, you must have been ready for such a possibility.

Reina became nervous. acid Even in this situation, seeing as how Shirone continued to maintain his calm and composed exterior, Reina felt bitter.

Yes, my Lord.

Of course.

Continue the matter at hand. alien Also, this should never leak out.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian opened the door and barged in.

With whose permission?!

But how could they prevent this? adapt Bischoffs decisions as Lord of the house had never once been reversed.

The temperature of the room increased with just his appearance alone.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why the hell? adapt He didnt commit a sin that deserves death, we only became friends! ability Just friends!

Bischoff said flatly.

Me.

Whos going to execute my friend without permission?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone is not like that.

If thats the case, I refuse such a privilege if it means I have to abandon my friend.

One does not die just because he has committed a sin worthy of death. acquire The intricacies of aristocracy are much more complicated than you think. arcade And those complicated circumstances are handled and resolved by the family, hence you, as a son of a nobleman, were also raised and brought up with preferential treatment.

You are immature, Rian. aspect Friendships are a mutual thing. abandon What you can share with them is fixed and certain. altitude That is a definite relationship. riddle Does that kid think of you as a friend? athlete How can I believe that? riddle Lets say he approached you for money, how could you know? orbit How can you trust him?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hes totally caught up!

Reina chewed on her lips.

Thats what Im saying. amateur How do you know that? antique Prove it. echo Bring some kind of evidence that proves Shirone is not that kind of person.

There was no evidence that could prove Shirone was a true friend because nobody could look into a persons heart.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Feeling a chill from his fathers words, Rian slowly grabbed the handle of the sword strapped on his waist.

I understand now, Master!

Something hot flooded into his heart.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

HAHAHAHA!

This was not a staring contest between father and son, it was a battle of wills.

As expected, I cant beat my dad. accent I almost fell for it. alert Prove that were friends My proof is that I believe in him. alpha Even if Shirone does not think of me as one, he is my friend as long as I believe we are. orbit Thats the best proof you can have in this situation! galaxy Trust!

Rian, who understood what Kite meant, burst into laughter.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Bischoff burned his bridge.

After all, what Rian said was also true.

This time, Bischoff was at the losing end.

So you are going to disobey me, the Lord of this house? aspect This is not a matter between just you and me. adopt It is a matter that involves the house. portal Noble houses can fall and collapse, even now it still happens. abandon I have to make sure we dont crumble and fall. acid I am responsible for leading this house. matrix Dont underestimate the situation. crystal Even a son of a noble can be ostracized.

Instead, he answered politely with unprecedented courtesy, as if building a wall between him and Bischoff.

But Rian didnt budge.

Not only the servants, but also the members of the Ogent family were shocked at the last remark.

To kick out his own son.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

If thats the only way to protect my friend, Ill happily leave.

Unacceptable. portal A mere 16-year-old surviving an ostracism?

Bischoff slammed his foot onto the floor.

BANG!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then draw your sword. riddle To be ostracized means to be abandoned by your family. antenna If your friend is really worth the fight, then you must risk your life.

That foolishness of his His rude, mannerless actions Hes only unreasonable due to the fact that I am his father.

Rian drew his sword without a word. amber The action angered Bischoff even more.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Are you really planning on pointing your sword at me, your father?

For the first time, you are wrong, father. afford Shirone is a friend who shines brighter than me. crystal I want to help Shirone shine even brighter.

Since when did you cherish your friends? crystal You never once made connections with other aristocrats your age. aspect You said it was because they were dazzling in your eyes. admire Youre only friends with this commoner because he doesnt shine. arrow Because he is lower than you.

Its not pointed towards you, father. arena You dont believe me, so I have no choice but to do this. apron I draw my sword because I believe in myself and my decisions.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Is it you? harbor Did you make Rian like that? beacon How did you persuade him into believing that a commoner and a noble could be friends?

Bischoff was despondent.

What did this Shirone do to dazzle his naive son to such a degree?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian stood between the two.

Although I did not persuade him, since you think that is the case, maybe I did do something like persuasion.

Shirone spoke.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, stay quiet. accent Ill take care of it. silence No matter what happens to you

Rian.

You are responsible for what you are responsible for.

Rian turned his head as Shirone spoke with a cold tone he had never heard him use before. auction Shirone was staring straight at him.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Huh? august W-Well, yes. harbor Of course.

Not only the family, but Rian, too, felt chills at the impassive words that were comparable to Bischoffs.

But you dont have to take responsibility for things that you shouldnt be responsible for. august This situation was created by the two of us. galaxy Well just have to get through it together.

Shirone looked back at Rian and smiled.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

And for Rian, it was like pouring fuel into an already burning flame.

Not only the servants, but also the members of the Ogent family couldnt help but turn solemn in the moment.

Silence ensued.

Even if I die on this spot, I dont regret being your friend.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were cynical at first, but now they couldnt figure out who to side with.

Reina, who was resting her chin using the back of her hand, smiled.

Yeah! abandon Thats exactly what Im saying! orbit Even if Im ostracized, well still remain friends!

The servants started to murmur amongst themselves.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Im sure everyone here has had a friend like Shirone. adopt A person they wish they could be friends with forever.

You are really amazing, Shirone!

He silenced the adults with indisputable logic.

The reason why Shirones words could not be refuted was because they were all human beings. beacon And all human beings had to deal with a thing called emotion.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Nevertheless, the reason why he didnt dislike Shirone was because sincerity preceded calculation.

The stone-cold logic of the Ogent family was also something that a human created. adjust And as much as one would like to separate emotions from the equation, such a thing was simply not possible for humans.

Hes smart. altitude In a sense, hes similar to dad.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 13: First Step Toward a Dream (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps that was Shirones greatest weapon, Reina thought.

Well, you never know. sphere Thats the power of sincerity. alien It makes you want to believe. absorb And Shirone definitely has that power.
