Master, I wanted to talk to you today.

"... that face, is that it?

"As you can imagine.I want to officially inherit the Master's legacy. "

The day after returning from the trip.

I went straight to my master.Because I wanted Master's permission to take over the Ice Sword Mage.

However, I don't think it will be easy to get permission.

"Magic Realm Runaway. What about Overheating?

"I thought I'd recover over time."

"I don't think you can fully use your abilities."

"But I still want to inherit my Master's legacy as a sorcerer of the ice sword.I think that's what I need to do. "

Master stares into my eyes.Sitting between tables, the scent of tea in front of my eyes falls out of my nose.Without enjoying the fragrance of tea, I confront my master.

I don't know what my life will be like from now on.I'm still lost.But we can move on.It was in its early stages that the Ice Sword was inherited.

"... the association also told me.Now that I'm here, I'd like you to introduce me to the seven new magician candidates.In addition, he lost two of the seven great magicians in the Far East battle, and he also needed a pot. "

Master keeps talking with a light hand on the tea.

"Abby and Carol are supposed to fill the hole."

Is that so?It's my first time hearing about it. "

"Ah, it hasn't been published yet.And I was just talking about what to do with my hole...Of course, Ray was on my mind.Even though there is a Magic Realm Runaway "Overheat," I didn't lose the magic itself. "

"Yes, but I was wondering if I could use my powers in a limited way."

I see. No, I would've admitted it if you wanted it this way.Looks like you're doing well at your sister's place. "

"That's right...Little by little, I feel like I've come to understand what family is. "

I see. That's good. "

Smile.

There's no more harsh masters.A very gentle smile comes to me.

And I received a letter of recommendation from my master.They'll talk to the sorcery association, too.

"Ray"

On my way home, I can be summoned by my master.

"Yes, what is it?"

"What does it mean to be the seven greatest magicians?Find it yourself. "

"Yes"

"I'm honestly glad you're following my trail.But from now on, think for yourself and live. "

"I see. Now, if you'll excuse me."

He leaves with his head down.

Then a week later. I was summoned to the sorcery society.

"This is it...."

It has arrived. I knew there was a sorcery association, but this is the first time I've come here.Sure, today, all seven new magicians are supposed to meet together.

You enter a large white building that stands in front of you.First, tell him that he wants to meet the chairman at the reception.He was guided to the top floor.I went up the stairs alone, and for some reason she stood on the top floor.

"Ray?"

"Princess Olivia....?Why are you here?

"I knew it. I knew it. New guy was Ray."

She had silky silver-colored hair and opened her eyes.As always, I think she's very beautiful... but why is Princess Olivia here?

"The seven great magicians will be replaced.That's why I'm here for the signing ceremony.My father, my mother, and my other brothers and sisters have other business to attend to. "

"... was that so?"

"Nevertheless,"

I thought she would stare half-eyed, and she hugged her right arm.

"This is destiny!

"Er...."

"I see. Isn't that right?Right? "

"I thought it was a coincidence..."

"No, it's no coincidence!And why was Ray so strong?It's clear.The new ice sword is Ray, isn't it? "

"That's... right."

I feel the weight of being a new ice sword again.Master played the role of Lion Rapid and was singing as the strongest of the seven magicians.I am saddened by the difficulty of carrying that credit.

"Actually, I did a little research on Ray."

The atmosphere calmed down after I hit it.Slow and away from my right arm, Princess Olivia hands behind her back.

"You were Lydia's apprentice.Besides, I heard you were active in that war. "

"Yes, that's right."

Affirm with perseverance.My past will never go away.That's why I think we need to face it now.I don't want to run anymore.

"... yeah. Ray, it's going to be like the moon, but good luck.Then come with me!

"I understand."

And when I entered the chairman's office, there were already two people standing there.

"Ray-chan!? Why are you here!?

"Carol. Long time no see."

"It's been a while, but I can't believe it...."

"Ah, I'm going to inherit the Master's trail.I also have a letter of recommendation. "

"I see... Ray-chan chose your path."

Carol looks lonely, but switches quickly.

"Yeah! Okay.Ray-chan, let's do our best together!

"Oh, thank you."

Speaking lightly with Carol, Colonel Garnett stood next to him.

Colonel, it's been a long time.

"I'm not a colonel anymore.How are you?

"Yes"

"I asked Lydia if Ray was going to take over."

Thank you very much.

Lower your head. I thought you would object a little, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Going through between the two of us, I face the man sitting at the desk.I wonder if he is the president of this sorcery association.

"Well, I've heard from Lydia... are you Ray-White?"

"Yes, my name is Ray-White."

"My name is Greg-Aimston.He is the president of the Magic Association.So I checked your background. [M]Lydia has taught me how to use magic. "

Was that so?

"Honestly, I'm worried.Even if I have the ability to become the seven greatest magicians, can I leave it to children like you? [M]But... that's what I can't say right now. "

"What do you mean...?

The chairman looks away from the material he is looking at and hands tied with his face.

"The seven greatest magicians lost in the Far East must be replenished as soon as possible.It is a symbol of the Seven Magicians and a deterrent.We have to show each country that we exist. "

"... I see."

"That's why Garnett and Caroline were the top seven magicians.Both of you are capable enough.But I didn't know the magician who filled the Lydia-Aynesworth hole.That's where she introduced you.I heard that Lydia's apprentice was active in the Far East battle..... "

I just told you that I can't change my stomach to my back.The chairman frowned.Squeezing his hands tightly together, he sends a powerful gaze.

"There are aspects of my personal feelings that I don't want to acknowledge.But it's a situation where you can't even say that.So as a new ice sword, Ray-White.I'll admit it. "

"Thank you."

"I will not reveal my existence, but I still want you to be responsible and persuasive as the seven greatest magicians."

"Yes"

After that, a signing ceremony was to be held.Each one of the seven new magicians pushes the blood pressure.The same goes for Princess Olivia.The paperwork was completed successfully.

But I don't know what happened because we haven't all gathered yet... and I thought, the door opened up momentum.

"I'm sorry! I'm late!

She was a little girl. It was one of the seven greatest magicians who came with a black coat on his bright red hair ─ ─ a single-wing magician.I only asked my master about its existence, but when I saw it again, I couldn't believe it.

"Oh, you're Lydia's apprentice!

"Yes"

"Françoise-Claire.I'll take a franc. Nice to meet you. "

"Thank you.I don't mind Ray either. "

When I grabbed my right hand, I shook it up and down.Master said, "I don't know what he will do... be careful", but for now it was normal.

"Greg, what happened to the others?

"... phosphor, sword, fiction won't come."

"Hmm? It's unusual for Marius not to come on time."

"Apparently, after the Battle of the Far East, I've been traveling all over the world.I don't know where I am right now. "

"I see! Well, he's not a solid human being.It's gonna be okay. "

Gahaha! and a loud laugh echoes indoors.

I couldn't seem to see the other seven magicians this time to listen to what I just said.I heard it was a gathering of all, but Master often skipped the gathering, so it's a common occurrence.

Afterwards, Mr. Fran said hello to both Carol and Colonel Garnett, and he was gone.He was really like a storm.

"Now, let's officially recognize the three as the seven new magicians."

"Yes"

"Yes, yes!

"I understand."

Before the chairman, I would like you to say your words again in line.

"Caroline is delusional. Garnet is burning.And Ray-White.You will inherit the Ice Sword. "

"Yes"

"I'll convene it regularly again... well, as you can see, there's a lot of skimming.I hope you're here. "

And when I saw the chairman with a bitter smile, I thought he was having a hard time.And as they all left the room, Princess Olivia, who had been silent for so long, hugged her right arm.

"Ray!Free today!?

"Well... I don't have any plans for the future."

"I did it! Let's go play!Right? "

Well... there's plenty of time to spare, so I'm sure you'll understand.With that in mind, Carol enters the conversation.

"Olivia, you can't do this ~?You still have plans after this, right?

"Beard... Carol.No way.... "

"Yes, I've been told to take you back to the royal castle."

Nicholas smiles, but his eyes don't smile entirely.I've never heard of Carol's connection to the royal family, but his face is quite wide.It's probably related to the Seven Magicians, and there's something like a helper.

Iyaaaaaaaaa!I want to play with Ray!

"Ufufu, no.Please say goodbye to Ray-chan today. "

"Wow, ahhhhhhhh!

Carol holds Princess Olivia and sends us winks.The two disappeared after waving their hands lightly.

Only me and the Colonel were left here.No, I'm not a colonel anymore... but I can't get through.

"Ray, let's go home."

"Yes"

"I've heard a lot from Lydia."

"Really?

"Oh, he's worried about Ray, too."

The two of us went down the stairs talking, but we broke up in front of the sorcery association.It seems that there is still work left at the Magic Academy.

"Well, here I am."

"Yes, excuse me."

Return the heel. Today is the day I cook dinner, so I walked thinking about what to do, and I heard a loud voice from behind.

"Ray!"

Turning around, the colonel waved at me.I wonder if it's like her encouragement.

Again, I'll bow my head deep.When she smiled satisfactorily, she went in the opposite direction to me.

Ice Sword Magician.

It's too heavy a title for me now.But one day... I wish I could be someone who can carry all that weight.

I hoped so ─ ─.
