Chapter 5 Please Give Me A Magic Mentor
A few days after Arkus decided to become a mage.
The Rayseft family welcomed a guest.
“……Ani-ue*” (Big Brother)
“Yeah. It’s been a long time, Josh.”
In the reception room of the Rayseft family, Joshua, Arkus’ father, and a silver-haired man with a face very similar to Joshua. Unlike noble Joshua, he has an atmosphere that is somewhat closer to the common people.
He is muscular, the skin is tanned, and burns in places on the body can be seen. The word “come back from the battlefield” fits perfectly.
The man’s name is Craive Arvent. The elder brother of Arkus’ father, Joshua Rayseft, a man who left the Rayseft family for some reason.
The reason is related Magical PowerThing that plagued Arkus.
There is a history that Joshua became head family because Joshua had more magical power than Craive when deciding to take a successor. As a result, Arkus’ grandfather is in rush, which led to his departure.
Nonetheless, there is a reason why he can appear in front of the head of the family and also called big brother. This man, Craive, trained at the place where he was born, and after returning to the country, he achieved remarkable results on the battlefield and took a key position in the army that the king remembers. His ability far exceeds Joshua, who has a lot of magical power, and although he is a baron title is a lowest in noble, he is said to have a higher position in the army.
He usually isn’t close, but maybe he is still worried about family, and every time he come back from his territory or new post, he visit the head family in this way.
Craive calls out to Arkus who is standing.
“Yeah, Arkus! How are you doing !?”
“Yes. it’s been a while. I’m glad my uncle looks fine.”
“Oh? Since when you remember such a difficult word? Is it part of successor education?”
Craive is laughing loudly. Maybe he is pleased with his nephew’s growth.
This uncle has the character of breaking bamboo, so he’s very easy to get along with.
But on the other hand, Joshua showed a bitter face.
“No, Arkus is no longer an heir of the Rayseft family.”
“………… Wha?”
When Craive hears Joshua’s words, he is surprised and rounds his eyes.
“Arkus had significantly less magical power than Rayseft’s standards, so the successor to the Rayseft family is Risha.”
Risha, who was sitting next to Joshua, looked here, she turned her gaze, which seemed uneasy. Because she is suddenly placed in a delicate position, it’s not unreasonable.
Suddenly there, Craive squints as if he noticed something.
“Hey, is that why you have Arkus standing behind you?”
“That’s right”
Yes, Arkus is now standing behind the couch, while everyone sitting on the couch.
Of course, this is Joshua’s intention. This is to show that they are not in the same line among the family members. Treated like a servant, Arkus is already positioned below.
Craive understands it but complains.
“No matter how low the magical power is, it’s too early to remove it from the heir. Maybe it’s still possible to grow?”
“What do you say? Ani-ue should know that the amount of magical power does not increase.”
There, Craive sighed inaudibly.
Then, he turns his gaze at Joshua.
“… Josh, do you remember what father said at the end?”
“-Well, it’s different from when Ani-ue and me! His magical power is not suitable for the head of the Rayseft family!”
It was just after Joshua yelled like that. After that, with stronger tone, Craive astonished.
“Hey! This is!? Arkus is your son, right!? Don’t call him like a thing!?”
“This is no longer an heir or my son! When the amount of magic is low, he’s a stray dog!”
There, there felt that the surrounding air had cooled down terribly.
It’s as chilly as in icebox.
It seems he realized that he caused Craive’s anger, Joshua is breathtaking and upset.
“… Josh, are you really saying that? In front of your son.”
“Yes, that’s right. The Rayseft family doesn’t need incompetence.”
“That’s right. You ended up looking like that damn old man.”
Craive, who utters like a spit, looks not only at Joshua but also at Serene. Of course, Serene is also a person who is involved in the abandonment, so she can’t bear his gaze.
Craive dissipates his anger to the head and his wife turn their eyes away and the servants are confused.
Then, he turns his pity gaze on Arkus.
“… Isn’t he still six?”
“The Rayseft family is a warrior. To protect the family, he needs to be cut off.”
“You can say it in front of disinherited child. I doubt your head.”
Joshua tells about family one after another but Craive looks tired hearing the talks.
………… If want to cut ties, is it here?
“Uncle, uncle, I have a request.”
“……? What?”
“Teach me about magic”
“A-Arkus, you …”
Joshua glares at him as if he says unbelievable.
Of course, his gaze hit straight with my eyes. There is nothing to be scared of. I don’t cry anymore. I cried that day. Yes, I cried as much as I could. I don’t cry when I’m glared or hit. The feelings of parents and child have withered with all the tears.
Then, it can be said that it is natural to confront in this way.
Craive wouldn’t have expected to be told that. He stares at me as if he was taken aback.
“… Arkus, are you okay?”
“Yes, could you grant my wish?”
This is okay. No, this is the only one. I thought again that I could rely on him because he was angry.
Nodding, Craive breathes out, as if he was impressed.
Of course, it’s Joshua who isn’t silent about it.
He yells at me to scatter.
“Stop! Are you going to shame my house!”
“I don’t mean that, but rather this is for house.”
Joshua turns his gaze even more angry when he says something that he doesn’t even think about.
“What do you mean it is for house?”
“If we can prove that incompetence is not incompetence, wouldn’t it be a shame for the house?”
It’s a six-year-old child’s best guess. A person who proves not ineligible-it’s most effective if you hit him in front of Craive. As I expected, his eyes started to get murderous.
…I can’t lower my position in the house any more, I have no regrets. Harassment is coming.
“You……”
When Joshua shout and angry, Craive suddenly laughs.
“Josh, you haven’t decided if you’ll be ashamed yet? Ah, right! Did I become ashamed of you and your father because I was so active?”
“Ani-ue…!”
In response to Craive’s malicious provocation, Joshua turns bright red, just like burnt iron.
The voice exudes anger, but where does Craive blow to such an attitude? Stick out your tongue and get blurred.
And then,
“Okay, Arkus. Leave it to me. I’ll make you a full-fledged mage.”
From this day on, his uncle, Craive Arvent, became Arkus’ magic mentor.
