Chapter 101 Strongest Sage, Allotted

The air froze because of my remark .

"Wha . . . what do you mean by quitting school?"

"Exactly what it says . "

Perhaps she couldn"t process what I said, Alma asked the same thing .

Ruli went rigid too, it seems .

It might be a bit too sudden indeed .

In the first place, I originally planned to quit school once I registered at the guild .

However, the situation was such that the humanity would have gotten wiped out if I left them alone so I had to temporarily stay at the school .

But, once the barrier is going strong and stable, and an environment well suited for training chantless magic is established, that worry will be for naught .

"Nah, it"ll probably be in the form of withdrawal . It"s not like I went to this school with the intention of graduating from it . "

Ruli and Alma ponder when they heard that .

"Come to think of it, I don"t think I ever saw the teachers teaching Mathi-kun anything . . . "

"Or rather, it was the teachers who got the teaching . . . . "

True, there weren"t many things that I could learn .

Maybe they could have taught me some common sense of this present world, but I have grasped most of this world"s common sense now, so there"s nothing more I can learn from them .

I saw the princ.i.p.al while we were having that conversation .

It"s just right, let"s talk about it with the princ.i.p.al .

"Mu, Mathias huh . I see you"re heading here . . . do you need something?"

The princ.i.p.al talked to me first when I approached him .

Straight to the point .

"Yes . I intend to--"

"Aa . About your withdrawal huh . You"re going to leave the school once the barrier is finished right?"

. . . Really straight to the point .

Don"t tell me he had predicted it .

I don"t remember ever showing any behavior that would lead to that though .

The princ.i.p.al in front of me speaks while I"m thinking that .

"Judging from your look, it seems I hit the nail on the head . . . . I guess it"s only natural . Our school teachers only ever got taught by Mathias and never be the on the side of giving the teaching . I"m a failure of a princ.i.p.al . "

I don"t think you need to belittle yourself that far .

. . . . Let"s support him a bit .

"That"s not true at all . The teachers here taught me about common sense . Thanks to them, I"ve become a man with splendid common sense . "

When heard what I said, the princ.i.p.al"s face turned even severer .

" . . . I"m truly a failure who couldn"t teach anything . "

But why .

The teachers in this school truly taught me common sense well .

The school undoubtedly served its purpose .

The princ.i.p.al speaks again while I"m thinking that .

"But I don"t intend to let Mathias drop out of the school . Since I"ve predicted this situation, I"ve thought up the best choice . "

" . . . Are you saying you"re going to detain me?"

It"ll be a bit troublesome if it comes to that .

I"ve made a connection with this country to the point that I can easily meet the princ.i.p.al and the king .

If I forcefully took my way out of the school and antagonize them--

"Nope, I"m not gonna detain you . But I"d like you to formally remain in the school, in name only . "

"Name?"

"Yea . If we do that, the academy can freely move to give effective educations using Mathias"s achievements as a shield, and being treated as a student of the royal academy should be convenient for you if you need something from me or the country . I think it"s a win-win choice for both of us . "

In other words, they will back me up if I lend them my name huh .

Not a bad deal .

"I"ll take that suggestion . "
