Infinite Mage

This is utter nonsense. atlas Clearly, I am my fathers son. absorb There will be no instances where I will be adopted as a son of another.

He said it with no hesitation, and even his tone was layered with disgust as if just thinking about it was unpleasant.

Sh-Shirone.

Vincent was touched.

Commoners cannot enter the magic academy.

Are you completely sure you are okay with that? altitude You have the chance to become a noble. arch This isnt an opportunity anyone can just get.

While the rest of his family members were dumbfounded, Klumph asked coldly.

If Im required to become the son of another, I would rather live as a commoner.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then I wont become a mage.

If you dont get into the magic academy, you cant become a mage.

Then I will not enter.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirones upright attitude was frustrating.

Klumph stood abruptly from his seat.

Shirone!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Simply looking up the large build of Klumph must have felt overwhelming, but Shirone replied calmly.

Other times, he is such a smart boy, so why now, of all times, is he so hung up on such a simple problem?

Is it guilt? apple Living in this world is no picnic. acoustic There are things you have to sacrifice for success. palette Is that dream of yours that insignificant to you?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe thats why.

What?

Silence enveloped the living room.

No matter how small or big my dream may be, that is something I inherited from my parents. arch They were the roots that nurtured me and allowed me to dream. arch I mean, look at me, the child of a mountaineer working in a mansion. adopt And even before all that, reading Its because of them I can read. accent If I must make a comparison, this one opportunity I have right now does not even come close to standing alongside the countless other ones my parents have handed me. voyage Telling me to deny my roots and to be nurtured by another is no different from telling me to wither and die.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Its not guilt. airport He understands the way we humans grow.

They werent simply impressed by Shirones words He made them reflect.

Klumph was very shocked.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if one were to miss an opportunity right in front of their eyes, new ones would eventually turn up.

Suddenly he had this idea.

However, the moment one abandons the people who helped them get to where they are, they lose everything.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe he was thinking incorrectly from the start? acquire Even without someones help, wouldnt this child eventually become a mage?

If even the honor of the Ogent family is just a passing opportunity for this child

Rian, maybe it was you who was the lucky one.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After a long time, since no one bothered to open their mouth, only then did Shirone smile.

Then no one can restrain this child!

I am grateful for the proposal. abandon But I cant accept it. attic The only ones who I can call my parents are the two people here right now.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was embarrassed. zenith He wanted to crawl under his chair and never come back up.

Vincent clenched his fists hard.

Why feel hurt by meaningless documents? harbor My son believes in me, a parent who has done nothing for him.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone

Vincents head hung down.

Father.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Please, take Shirone as an adopted son!

No one thought of him as a lacking parent because they, too, had a family of their own.

I understand how you feel, but it cant be helped. adapt How can I turn blind eye to Shirones heart?

However, this was not a simple matter that could be solved by being persistent.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Honey!

Eyes widened after Vincents remark, but out of everyone, Shirone was the most shocked.

It wasnt because it was kept a secret, in fact, everyone in the room had thought about it at least once.

To be honest, Shirone Shirone is not actually my child.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, despite not being blood-related, for the sake of his son, Vincent was ready to give up everything.

Shirone looked completely different from his parents. attic Both in appearance and physique.

We cannot have children. alien Shirone is a child that was given to us by coincidence. atlas Im sure hes a child of nobility, as you would have assumed living with him. beacon I am not worthy of him. anchor On the contrary, if he becomes an adopted son of a noble, its like returning him back to his original position. harbor He wont be denying his roots.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But breaking their thoughts, Shirone shouted with a very hurt look.

Sh-Shirone.

Seeing the reasoning behind his words, the gathered people thought over it.

Dad!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Do you know why I didnt ask? auction Because everyone only gets one father and one mother. airport How many parents are you going to make for me? airport Its to the point where Im about to have six parents because of you, father.

Im sorry, Shirone. adopt But since youre now grown up, to some extent

What are you doing?! zenith How could you say that without discussing it?! timber Youve never said anything about that before!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Two of the adoptive parents, two of themselves, and two of those who abandoned Shirone. agent A total of six. arcade If he was to think that way, what he was about to do to his child was ridiculous.

Im just sad that you are giving up your dream because of me

Who said Im giving up on my dream? anxiety If I continue to work hard, another opportunity will surely arise! amber Do you know how it feels to be abandoned twice?!

Vincent was stunned.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As soon as he saw his sons eyes fill with tears, Vincent realized his mistake.

Dad!

Shirone, Im sorry! atomic What in the world did I do? amber I wont ever leave you under the care of someone else. amber I will do everything to make your dream come true!

He was a father who had to raise four sons and a daughter alone as his wife left without him.

As Vincent pulled him in for a firm hug, Shirone wiped away his tears and jumped into his fathers arms.

How upset he must have been, a thoughtful child who didnt even express his own emotions, in fear he would hurt someone.

While the Ogent family watched with pleased faces, it was Bischoff who was particularly swayed by the scene.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though Klumph was whining about it, his expression wasnt particularly dark.

Youre asking for all sorts of things from this old man. apron How would I use my strength? timber Even the scholars, who are quick-witted, are all tongue-tied under Alpheas obstinacy.

I have no choice but to ask you to use a bit of your strength.

Bischoff quietly told Klumph.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hmph! apple Alpheas? crystal That guy? artist You think he only owes me one? absorb The problem is, hes not one to break the rules.

Then Ill have to give an order as the family head. antique How about going through with a special admission? crystal Ive heard there is an old debt

So its not possible?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

* * *

This was because he remembered the circumstances in which he was forced to take over the family due to such reckless tactics.

Well, who knows? abandon Arent reckless tactics best used against principled men?

Bischoff smiled silently.

A few days later, an antique-like carriage was stationed near the main gate, waiting to depart.

* * *

Shirone stayed in the Ogent family until the day Rian left for the Swordsmanship Academy.

Shirone, as well, did not know if his special admission would pass. atom But even if he were to pass, he would enter the school early next year, so he still had six months to spend with his parents.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian, who did not want to say goodbye, could not hold back his tears.

It was a carriage that would take the family to the royal castle.

Rai was already on board, and Klumph decided to meet with Alpheas first and join them later.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian grabbed Shirones shoulder.

Shirone, you must become a mage! orbit Ill write you letters!

If one failed the graduation exam, getting stuck in an academy for years was not an impossibility. arena So if they were to split now, there was no set date as to when they could meet again.

Whether it was a magic academy or a swordsmanship academy, the period of graduating from one was not specifically set.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Im certain you can graduate! advance I guarantee it!

For crying out loud! adopt Worry about yourself! arctic Youre the one we are all worried about the most!

Reina socked him in the head.

Although he was no genius like Rai, he possessed things that Rai did not.

Shirone believed his words and had no doubts. beacon He was sure Rian would do well.

Hey! alien Im going to work hard, too, you know! admire Ill become the best knight and become Shirones sword.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes. shadow And Thank you for your help.

Shirone, you dont have to worry, have fun with your family for the time being. antenna Im sure my grandfather will get you enrolled in the academy. album Hes someone who keeps his word.

Reina turned to Shirone and smiled.

Even if he was friends with Rian, things wouldnt have worked out this well without Reinas support.

Shirone spoke with sincerity

Reina stared at Shirone.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At first, she only thought of him as a boy four years younger than her, but she changed her mind after the incident.

And above all, the fact that Shirone was interested in her was very important.

He really is a unique child!

He may not have grown up physically yet, but his mind was already something to marvel at.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just 16-years-old His future’s so bright.

Just as Reina was about to say something, she stopped and started laughing as she realized just how absurd the idea was.

Shirone, do you

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

No, its nothing. aluminum Lets work hard, both of us. album I also think you can become a mage.

Yes, please take good care of Rian.

Haha, dont worry. ability Since hes made his oath, he will do his best. atlas I dont need to nag him.

As soon as the four horses stomped out, Rian opened the window and stuck his head out.

Shirone! adapt You are the best! shadow When you get into the magic academy, crush them all!

Reina looked back at Shirone one more time. harbor She waved, and got into the carriage.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hooo.

You too! alpha Be sure to graduate!

Shirone waved his hand big.

Thus, his life as a worker for the Ogents ended.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Young master, let’s go. crystal Ill escort you home.

The Broad Way of the Ogent family, which intimidated him when he first arrived, now felt like something that wished him good luck.

When he finally grasped that it was over, his heart felt a little heavy.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was really going home.

Shirone bowed his head towards the Ogent familys mansion.

Thank you.

Seeing the carriage waiting, Shirone finally realized

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alpheas Magic Academy, Noon.

Despite the fact it was class time, there were two old men who sat opposite each other, both drinking tea in the headmasters office.

* * *

A large, blue-haired man and another who wore a gentle smile while looking out the window.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

To be more specific, it was Klumph who was waiting for Alpheas answer.

He didnt care how long it took.

The conversation between the two had stopped over half an hour ago.

Alpheas Myrhe and Klumph Ogent. accent Both have been friends for over 50 years

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He dragged on, as if making a difficult decision, but in truth, he must have done that for show

It was Alpheas turn to answer, so Klumph was just waiting.

Even if its from you, I cant do you any favors of that kind.

Considering how long it took for such a short answer, most wouldve been frustrated by it, but Klumph just grinned.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if its from you? silence Do you know how much I suffered because of you when we were young?

Because the Alpheas he knew was mischievous like that.

KAHAHA! atom For such flattery to leave your mouth, you must be in quite a hurry. arctic But you have to know, the special admission was not made just to become a free pass for nobles. riddle Countless requests are made every year, but most do not meet the heavy criteria.

Keukeuh, how funny. atlas A free pass for nobles But this is different.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Alpheas became slightly uneasy.

Im not asking you to accept some scoundrel. action Its actually the opposite. palette He is a friend of my youngest grandson, and hes very talented. apple I see the young you in him.

The tactless and stubborn Klumphs eyes were full of mischief, warning Alpheas that whatever he was thinking of was not ordinary.

…What is it?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hmm, your youngest grandson You mean that immature and reckless Rian? agent Hes very much like you.

Recalling his past, Alpheas eyes dimmed, as he realized that time truly did pass quickly.

Kekeke! adjust I threw him into a swordsmanship academy because hes not talented enough. harbor Anyways, Im not here to talk about Rian. antenna Im here to talk about Rians friend.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 17: Alpeas Magic School (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

If hes that talented, why not just enroll him in the academy normally? sphere But since youre here, I imagine theres a reason why you cant just do that.

No way Is he perhaps a blonde, blue-eyed boy?

Indeed, there is a problem. acquire A big one. arctic Hes not a noble.

Alpheas eyebrows narrowed slightly. atomic A short, but intense memory from four years ago flashed through his mind.
