The story of a young man who was expelled from the Black Mage's Guild and picked up as a royal mage - It's too late to realize that he is actually the highest level wizard in the kingdom. I will start a happy new life in the white court with people who appreciate me.

I could tell just by facing him that he was no ordinary man.

A large physique with muscles like steel, well-trained.

The first top-notch wizard I'd ever faced, far superior to the teachers I'd been taught in school.

Most importantly, I know the man's face and name.

Gawain Stark.

One of the only seven Holy Treasure (Maegus) class wizards in the kingdom, and one of the pinnacle in the kingdom's magical world.

He's a celebrity. ......!

The great wizard I used to admire is right in front of me!

"Oh, um!　Can I get your autograph?

"Hmm?　I don't mind, but where to write it?

Sheesh!

I don't have anything that looks good to have written.

After fumbling around for a moment, I say, "Well, let's get this uniform on.

'Well, let's see, I'll get this uniform.

Don't do it.

Luke grabs me by the scruff of the neck.

'Isn't it unheard of to have a royal sorcerer's robe signed?　And on the first day.

Don't stop. Don't stop. If you miss this one, you might not get a chance like this again.

You really do love magic, don't you?

Luke exhales in disgust.

"He's our boss. We're going to be seeing each other from now on, even if you don't want to.

"Well, are you serious? ......

It's a natural thing to say, but I don't feel it at all, and I can't believe it.

I think I've come to a really great place.

You've brought an interesting-looking guy with you again, Luke. I wondered what I was going to do the day you told me you were going to bring your buddy from the outside.

I told you. I said I'd bring the guy I used to be unbeatable with.

No, you don't really expect a guy of that level, normally. I don't even know why there's a guy like that in the field.

I'm a bit of an idiot and a bit of an idiot.

"Who's an idiot!

You have to protest categorically.

I'm a smart, intelligent, mature and sexy guy, and you're treating me like an idiot.

I see. I hear you're good friends.

Yes, I know. I'm a skeptic, and he's the only friend I'm comfortable with.

Saying such things with a serious face.

Hmmmm.

What, you're a little embarrassed.

The conversation goes on as I bash my cheeks at the embarrassing line.

"So, your buddy, he's going to be in our unit, right?

Right. Like me, you'll be in the third squad.

Then you can do that thing with the new guy who came to us, which is a tradition.

Huh?

I nodded my head, wondering what he was talking about, and Luke said.

As you can see, he's a rude, sketchy gymnast," he said, "and he does it every time a new guy comes in. Every time a new guy comes in, he does it. It's called 'The Baptism of Hell' and 'Sixty Seconds of Blood', and it's an annual event.

"What's that all you want to hear?

"If you engage in magical combat with Captain Gawain and endure 60 seconds without being knocked out, you will pass. You'll get a reward. Well, unfortunately, very few people pass.

A murmur escaped from the surrounding magicians who were listening to the exchange.

'Hey, Captain Gawain, I heard you're going to give the rumored newcomer '60 seconds of blood'.

The first day in and it's your first day. It's definitely a traumatic experience.

"relentlessly ...... broke down the wall, albeit a monster newcomer to the little guy like that

They only look like kids.

Who's the kid!

Little one!

"You're going to completely break your nose to avoid getting carried away. ......

"I'm not going to break it," he said. Gawain, you will be obliterated without a trace.

"Captain, please stop!　As you can imagine, slaughtering newcomers unilaterally from day one is a good idea: ......

...... eh?

Am I going to be killed now?

Are you going to die?

As I was stunned, seniors came running up to me and surrounded me.

Don't worry, rookie. Don't be depressed if you don't pass, don't worry. Don't get upset if you don't pass, don't worry. We're all being beaten up. Very few people survive for ten seconds.

I didn't last three seconds. That's normal. You don't have to lose your confidence.

Yes, yes. It's great when you can break the wall. You don't have to be hurt by the results. Don't let it get you down.

I don't think I'm okay with ...... at all.

And I was not even good enough for the local mage guild.

You're going to be hand-in-hand with Gawain, a top-notch mage of the Holy Treasure (Maygas) class, .......

I really think this is going to kill me .......

It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go.

Good luck. I'm counting on you.
