Chapter 2: Yufia Queensroad
 

Magical education institutions, known as “magic academy,” taught sorcery over six years of elementary division followed by three years of middle division, with children enrolling at the age of six.
 
Yufia Queensroad attended one such school一the Terence Magic School.
 
Unlike Crawford Magic Academy, where she currently studied, Terence did not divide classes based on academic ranking. Instead, students were reassigned each year to ensure each class maintained a balanced overall performance.… Read more

Not missing this opportunity, Kevin gave orders while enduring the pain of his creaking ribs. Several meters away, Som and Dominic somehow managed to get up, deployed magic circles, and took aim.
 
Kevin himself also deployed a magic circle and directed his full-power magic at the man without any mercy.
 
“Lion’s Roaring Flame [Roar-Flare-Leone]!!”
 
From a bright red magic circle over one meter in diameter, a flame mass shaped like a lion was released.… Read more

 
“You worthless failure… You really think you can lay a finger on an elite like me?! Tch—!!”
 
Gritting his teeth with a furious expression, Kevin unleashed his magic at the approaching boy.
 
“Lightning Strike: Thunderbolt!”
 
The spell Kevin cast was a basic lightning-based attack magic—”Thunderbolt.”
 
Though fundamental, its power could be adjusted to stun the target, making it widely used for subduing rioters or incapacitating criminals without lethal force.
 
Its true strength, however, lay in speed.… Read more

 
True, the dagger was undeniably crude and poorly made. But to Elliot, it was an irreplaceable memento—
 
the one and only dagger he had forged alongside his grandfather, who had passed away in his childhood.
 
—[Grandpa! Let me watch you work in the forge again today, please!]
 
—[Oho, Elliot! Back again, are ya? Course ya can watch all ya like!]
 
[Thank ya! Watchin’ ya work’s the best part of my day!]
 
[That so? Heh, warms my heart… But, Elliot… Ya sure ya shouldn’t be playin’ with friends instead?]… Read more

Chapter 1: Elliot Freegan
 

“——……Damn it!!”
 
The man who kicked the trash can down the hallway in a fit of rage was Kevin Roberts, a second-year student of Class 2-A at Crawford Academy of Magic.
 
“That bastard… I wanna kill him!! Damn it!! Shit!!”
 
Kevin’s eyes were bloodshot as he roughly ran his hands through his slicked-back hair, stomping through the scattered trash.
 
“That damn jerk… Just thinking about him pisses me off to my core…”
 
“Seriously, that condescending attitude of his grates on my nerves…!!”… Read more

Prologue
 

—Three Years Ago
 
Ichinose Shion was surrounded by several upperclassmen.
 
The location was behind the school building of Terrence Magic Academy, where Shion was enrolled at the time. In that deserted spot with no passersby, the upperclassmen glared sharply at him.
 
“The hell’s your problem? You protecting this guy?”
 
“Listen up, this ain’t violence. It’s justice. His bastard of a father, the vice mayor, embezzled our taxes—”
 
“So it’s only fair his son pays the price too, right?”… Read more

Epilogue
 

–A few hours before Alphonse blasted Kevin and the others away, turning back time a bit…
 
About ten minutes had passed since Alphonse had started crying during his conversation with Shion on the second floor of the cafeteria.
 
“–Well, I’ll be going then.”
 
After confirming that Alphonse had calmed down, Shion stood up from his seat, holding a tray with empty dishes.
 
“Y-Yeah…”
 
Alphonse replied to Shion somewhat bashfully, hesitantly glancing around.… Read more

After the dragon incident, Dessel had visited Alphonse, who was receiving treatment at a medical facility in the royal capital away from the academy. He apologized for his past attitude and actions towards Alphonse, and the two successfully reconciled.
 
Seeing this Dessel arguing with the three he was always with, Alphonse quickly headed to the scene.
 
When he reached the four, the atmosphere was at a boiling point, and Alphonse called out to Dessel, partly to restrain Kevin, Som, and Dominic.… Read more

However, Shion couldn’t tolerate Alphonse’s last statement.
 
…On that day, at that time, Shion had seen the figure of a great hero in Alphonse. He had felt deep respect for the noble way Alphonse fought.
 
Shion couldn’t stand the thought of such a man being called a “false hero.”
 
“You seem to misunderstand that I defeated the Dragon, but that doesn’t matter right now. …However, let me say this clearly.”
 
His voice now carried a strong, serious tone, unlike his previous somewhat oblivious manner.… Read more

Chapter 13: Two Heroes
 

 
— The sudden attack of Schwarzwaldius, the Black Dragon of Destruction.
 
It brought catastrophic damage to part of the Crawford Magic Academy grounds, especially the school cafeteria.
 
Due to the dragon’s ferocity and the aftermath of a battle with a brave student, much of the cafeteria’s furnishings were destroyed. Walls, ceilings, and pillars were nearly collapsed, leaving the place in terrible disrepair.
 
…One week later.
 
Thanks to the efforts of skilled architects using magic to reconstruct buildings, and transport workers who swiftly delivered materials and necessary equipment, the building was successfully restored.… Read more
