Chapter 18: Passed Like A Dog (4)
I passed like a dog, and escaped like one, too.
Though I was happy about the acceptance itself, I could no longer learn Ultimate Fire Magics with how uncomfortable it’s become with Hasfeldt.
She was the most proficient user of Fire Magic in the whole Empire. The reason why I had endured all this time as a slave was because I thought that staying under Hasfeldt would be the fastest way to learn all Fire Magic.
And now that became impossible. There’d be no more learning with the relationship broken.
Since it came to this, I had to find a substitute plan. Like some ancient document containing the secrets of Fire Magic or finding someone as skilled as Hasfeldt to advise me.
Well, not that it really mattered. That was why I enrolled into the Academy anyway.
Heerlein spoke to me as she watched me lost in deep thought despite being accepted.
“Cheer up. You’re no longer a slave, right? Or what, are you worried about Klais?”
“No?”
Do I look like some kind of pushover?
There was no chance in hell that would happen. I was only uneasy about any possible delay in going back to my original world because of this.
