Magi’s Grandson

Change of Plans

The next day, after being surprised during the birthday celebration where it was revealed that grandpa has not taught me the common sense of this world, I once again went to that plain where I practiced magic, together with everyone else.

When gate opened, everyone was so surprised to the point where their jaw dropped.

As for the reason why we came there, they wanted to confirm what kind of magic I have learned from grandpa since I was ignorant about this world. This idea was brought up by grandma, everyone else agreed and said they also wanted to see, too, and so I brought them along.

Haa Although I was surprised by the gate magic he used, when I think about the fact that he especially came all the way to this place to practice magic Ah, I dont want to think about it too much.

Although you said that, Master Melinda, if we dont check it out, we wont know what kind of trouble s.h.i.+n-kun might get himself into, so just give up and lets go confirm it.

Somehow grandma and Uncle Dis said some rude things. Well, thats fine as well, and since everyone is here, I shall go at it at full force.

And like that, not only did I showed them Fire magic I showed grandpa yesterday; using Water, I turned it into a whip and also made a frozen water bullet fly.

Using Wind, I made a downburst occur by utilizing Gust, Vacuum Wave, Whirlwind, and Atmospheric Pressure Difference and generated electricity. With it, I used Lightning Strike; I bent Light, invoking optic camouflage.

I also gathered sunlight and shot a beam from the sky. Using Earth, I created an ultra-hard wall, shot a barrage of the surrounding earth, and made protruding cone-shaped stakes on the ground as a counter for people who would try to charge towards me.

After I showcased different kinds of magic, I turned around to look at everyone.

Everyone somehow gave a dry smile as if they had given up on something.

It was rare to see this kind of expression on Chris-neechans face.

While I was thinking of this, grandma Melinda walked towards grandpa and grabbed him.

Merlin! You You Why did you not teach this child prudence!!!'

Certainly

This is slightly terrible, huh

Eh~ Isnt everyone being a bit cruel?

But you see, he absorbed everything I taught him, and so I unintentionally wanted to see how far he could go.

What do you mean and so! Its appalling!!

Ooh, grandma Melinda got super angry.

If we dont consider it properly, he wont be able to go out into the world Magic with this much destructive powers Even with just the transfer magic called gate which s.h.i.+n-kun used earlier If any country gets their hands on s.h.i.+n-kun, the possibility of them aiming for world domination is high. Uncle Dis started to talk about unpleasant things.

Eh? Was it really that dangerous? My magic cant be used by just anyone?

Yeah, in addition, he also received martial arts training from Michel-sama. He can also do close-range battle, and as for long-range magic, he has this kind of power. If this was known, every country would desperately attempt to capture s.h.i.+n for themselves. Chris-neechan also interjected.

Eh? Was it this serious?

While I was bewildered by how things unexpectedly turned out, Uncle Dis opened his mouth once again.

Master Merlin, theres something Id like to talk about, is it okay?

Huff Huff Before that can you do something about this grandmother?

Whose fault is it! Whose!

Grandpa, who was being choked by the nape of his neck, said with a faint breath.

Grandma, if you get too excited, its not good for your body.

Whose fault is it! Whose!

Not good, this time, she was aiming for me.

Thanks to that, grandpa escaped from grandmas constriction and started the talk with Uncle Dis.

Master Merlin, truth be told, s.h.i.+n-kuns power is abnormal. He has a power that can disturb the power distribution of every country. In addition, s.h.i.+n-kun is ignorant of the world aside from this forest. If he was to be thrown to society as he is, he will be manipulated by every countrys intentions. That is not good for either s.h.i.+n-kun or for the world.

What you say is right

Well, thats a bit cruel. Even when Im like this, I was a proper member of the society in my previous world. However, since I didnt tell anyone about it, they, of course, had no idea.

Therefore, heres an idea. Why dont you admit s.h.i.+n-kun into a certain Advanced Magic Academy in my country?

That, are you attempting to take s.h.i.+n in on behalf of your country?

There was a certain sharpness in grandpas voice This was the first time Ive heard him speak in this kind of tone

Right now, in this place, I swear I will not use s.h.i.+n-kun for military purposes. Ive watched s.h.i.+n-kun grow up ever since he was an infant. To throw s.h.i.+n-kun, whom I have always treated as my own nephew, in the midst of wartime, my feelings wont permit it.

If its like that, then what exactly do you mean?

As you might have already known, theres an Advanced Magic Academy in the capital of my country. This academy is an inst.i.tute for higher education where we train students who are particularly excellent amongst the students who have finished their secondary education at the age of 15. It is a place where the especially talented people, even amongst magic users, have gathered. If its that place, we can find out how abnormal s.h.i.+n-kuns magic is, and compare it to the level of other magic users who are generally deemed as excellent.

I am, abnormal? Seriously?

Moreover, the enrollment to Advanced Magic Academy starts from the age of 15. Dont you think its the perfect opportunity for s.h.i.+n-kun, who never went out with people of the same age, to make friends? Although Chris and Sieg are close in age, well theyre like this

Ah, Chris-neechan and Sieg-niisan, who were glaring at each other suddenly averted their eyes.

Like that, of course, theyll get treated as like this

I see what you mean

Certainly, Master Merlin has a house in the royal capital. If he were to live there, I think he can learn the common sense of the general society, such as how to use money, etcetera.

Hmm um, s.h.i.+n.

Hmm? What is it?

I believe what Diseum had proposed is the best choice, but what do you think?

Diseum? Who is Aa! It was Uncle Diss real name!

I also think its okay. I wanted to try to go to school, and maybe I can make friends of the same age, too? Somehow, I feel really excited about this.

Certainly, I dont feel lonely since everyone cares about me, but, of course, I also want to experience fooling around with friends of the same age.

Is that so? If thats the case, I will say something to the academy. However, although I personally think its okay for you to enroll immediately, but as a formality, youll need to take the entrance examination, okay?

I dont mind.

Im sorry. The reason you have to take the exam is because the cla.s.s division after enrollment is decided based on the result of the exam. In addition, my countrys Advanced Magic School has a perfect merit system, where a n.o.bles authority cannot be used unconditionally.

What happens if you are found to be taking advantage of your authority as a n.o.ble?

You will be sentenced with a severe punishment.

Scary!!

Because it is an act that reaps the sprout of an excellent magician, it is sometimes regarded as an act of treason towards the nation. s.h.i.+n-kun also needs to watch out, okay?

I was told this while being smiled at.

Really, I wont do anything that will cause trouble for grandpa. That aside, since weve started talking, for a while now, I kept hearing words such as my country, and about authority. Who exactly is Uncle Dis?

I used this chance to try asking about the things I was curious about.

Ohhh, come to think of it, Ive never mentioned it, huh. My real name is Diseum Von Earls.h.i.+de, the King of Earls.h.i.+de Kingdom.

To think that he was the King.

Then Chris-neechan and Sieg-niichan are
