Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 9: Chapter 25: New Comrades

Two students transferred to our class during the 7th month of the year.

They were Lielle, a High Elf, and Hinata, a human.

Lielle is Lukes wife, and Hinata is Ryuushins girlfriend.

Hinata is the first girl Ryuushin ever dated in his entire life.

My bestfriend Luke got hitched, so I invited the four of them to my mansion and we celebrated like crazy.

As for their congratulatory gift, I did some pulling of strings so that Lielle and Hinata could enroll at the academy of magic.

Both of the girls really wanted to be with Luke and Ryuushin.

The academy of magic originally didnt admit students midterm.

Exceptions were made for people who were exceptionally gifted in magic that they were recognized by the headmaster himself, or

Dealing with it using underhanded methods.

I did both.

First, I made a huge donation to the academy under my name using funds from the H&T Corporation. It was accepted as taxes too, apparently, and the accounting department assisted me willingly.

Next, I asked the Celestial Spirit King to negotiate with Headmaster Luarno, since theyve known each other for a long time already.

Not only that, I also enhanced Lielle and Hinatas magic sense so that they could pass the official entrance examinations of the academy.

Lielle is Alheim royalty and shes also blessed by Sylph, the Wind Spirit King, so she didnt have a single problem using skills that require magic.

The one that I had a hard time with was Hinata.

She was, for better or for worse, just an ordinary human.

She hadnt been blessed by any spirit or deity, and she had never used magic before.

She possessed the average mana that a freshman would, so it seemed that she wouldnt have any problems using magic, though.

However, our class was composed of all the abnormal guys in the entire academy lumped together, so itll be difficult for an ordinary human who could only wield a mediocre level of magic to be with us.

So when the Celestial Spirit King manifested in this world to negotiate with the Headmaster, I asked him to give his blessing to Hinata.

Thanks to the Celestial Spirit Kings blessing, the spirits could constantly support Hinata, and even if Hinatas level didnt rise at all, she could now use high level magic.

Still, her knowledge and skills were inadequate with just that, so Tina and I, and even Sage Luarno trained her up in magic.

Her level also rose after she used the Dungeon Ruins at the beastkin kingdom of Vestier.

As a result

Hinata became a high-ranked, Level 100 Mage in just a month.

Even the amount of mana she had been enhanced to an unbelievable extent.

No student in this academy of magic would probably be able to beat Hinata in an ordinary battle using only magic, except those who belong to our class.

I also helped HInata so that she could wield holy attribute magic just in case so she could stop Ryuushin if she got into a fight with him, or if he turned into his dragon form and went on a rampage.

I asked Seira to help me on this.

It seemed that Hinata had an aptitude for holy attribute magic in the first place, and thanks to the enhancement of the Celestial Spirit Kings blessing, she could wield this type of magic at par with the level of a Saintess Apprentice.

And so, even if Ryuushin went berserk, Hinata could stop him even if shes on her own.

Ryuushin froze up when she saw Hinata enveloped in a bright light while training her holy attribute magic with Seira.

Ryuushin, if you do something scummy while in that Kokuryuu form of yoursShe might just annihilate you.

Y-You, why the heck are you

I was just kidding, but he glared at me while looking like hell bawl his eyes out any moment.

Eh, S-Sorry. Its just a joke.

Thats no joke, no matter how I see it! Theyve crossed the line!!

Ah, Ryuushin-sama! Youre here.

Hinata approached us when she noticed that Ryuushin came.

Look at this! Ive become stronger!

Hinata freely manipulated the glowing aura surrounding her.

She was just an ordinary human a month ago, but now she was a mage that excelled in mana manipulation, and it was quite unbelievable.

Ah, Yeah, Hm.Yeah.

Enough to obliterate me I heard Ryuushin mumble in a teeny tiny voice.

Ehehe, now I can protect Ryuushin-sama from anyone who dares to harm you!!

Hinata was all smiles after being praised by Ryuushin, and she hugged him.

Ryuushin was conflicted, but he still hugged her back and patted her on the head.

Im sure her training had been quite hellish this past month, especially since she was just an ordinary human, but she never complained.

Hinata wanted to become someone who could protect Ryuushin, a guy who could turn into a dragon, the strongest monster of this world.

When I first heard her intention, I told her that it would be one heck of a training, but she didnt even waver.

Not only that, she really did it in one month.

Hinata is amazing.

Both of them were hugging and making out now, so I decided to leave with Seira in tow.

A sudden thought flashed through my mind while I walked with Seira.

Come to think of it, wasnt Ifrus Academy of Magic off-limits to the family and relatives of the students, except during the school festival, right?

Is it really okay for Seira to be here like this?

Its already been two months since I slayed the demon at the Holy City of Sanctum.

Seira, Elmia, Kikyou, and Sitri started living in my mansion since that time, but I totally forgot to ask Headmaster Luarno about this.

Huh?

C-Could it be no. Its not a speculation; I had been acting too arbitrarily, right?

T-This might be terrible.

I was mulling over this when

Halt-sama, I still have work, so please excuse me now.

Eh!? Seira, what kind of job are you doing?

I was shocked when I heard what Seira said.

She had started working, and yet I didnt even have an inkling about it.

Eh, yesIm working as a emergency responder in this school.
