Without any hesitation, Ian rushed out of the tent,
The three knights and conducting mage followed.
'shu! shu! stop playing hard to get! I know you miss the touch of a real manâ
âwh, what ⊠?!â
What humiliating words.
Seems he laid his hands on motherâs body.
âCome on, have a listen. Donât you feel lonely at night after being a widow for 7 years? there are plenty men who will sneak into your bed if you just let the door openâŠâŠ huh?â
The soldier who was sexually insulting mother was stunned.
Of course, because of the mage and knights.
Seems he doesnât care at all about Vanessaâs son, Ian.
âWhat is this ruckus?â
One of the knights, who is named Aaron, asked.
There was a natural-born solemness in his low voice
âI.. it is nothing, sir! This degraded kitchen maid dared to look inside the tent, I was scoldingâŠ.â
âDegraded?â
Ian cut into his excuse.
âHow dare you! Donât you see Iâm talking to Nobles here?â
Now he started rebuking Ian.
Totally different reaction from the soldier compared to the attitude he just showed to the mage and knights.
Well, I understand thatâs how the rank system works
ThenâŠ
âMr. Mage.â
âhmm?â
âAm I mage now?â
The mage canât give a straight answer to the sudden question of Ian.
Can this little boy be called a mage?
âFar from officially being enrolled as an mage, he hasnât even received admission to the Academyâ
Officially, he is not a mage yet.
However, he self-studied the management of mana
Furthermore, he is able to cast 1st class magic.
âThe Royal and The Ivory tower will be alerted.â
To adopt this boy into the Empire, by any means necessary.
The boy who contains unfathomable talents.
Literally, it is only an matter of time.
It didnât take long for the conducting mage to make a decision.
âHe is a mage.â
Official confirmation by the conducting mage.
Suddenly, all the eyes focused on Ian.
Although, Ian stood solid, without any emotional swaying.
He continued the conversation.
âSo what is my rank now?â
âEquivalent to Empire Noblesâ
âHow about my mother?â
âSame. If you wish.â
Now Ian looked at the knights.
âDid you hear that? my mother and I, from now on, are Noble.â
*sururung!*
While Aaron, who is sensible enough to understand Ianâs intention, drew the first sword,
*sururu! sururung!*
Two other knights drew their swords too.
âInsulting an Noble is applicable to instant execution.â
Aaronâs brutal declaration reached the soldierâs ear.
That was what Ian intended.
âuhâŠâŠ. huh?â
The soldier still didnât understand the situation.
After he rolled his eye few times, finally he was able to conclude this situation.
So, the boy is a mage.
Vanessa, is the mother of the boy.
So that meansâŠ.
âHeeeeccckk?!â(E/N: just a moment of shocking revelation)
Not just shocked, but he started to drivel on the ground.
âPâŠ.pâŠ.,please, please spare my life!â
He quickly bowed down, hammering his head on the ground
Now, the apologies were targeted to Ian, neither knight nor mage.
The tide has turned.
âPlease, mercy, then I willâŠ.â
âWhy do you apologize to me?â
âI will never forget this grace âŠâŠ. I beg your pardon?â
Ian indicated to his mother and spoke quietly.
âIt is not me who you should apologizing to.â
ââŠâŠ. Ah!â
The soldier now turned his body to Vanessa, and repeated what he just did to Ian.
âPlease, please forgive me! please just give me a chance!â
He totally lay on the ground hammering his head into the ground.
Begging for his life with a servile voice.
âI..Ian. You donât need to do this muchâŠâ
He was so desperate that even mother who was receiving the apology felt uncomfortable.
Actually, even if he just said sorry, she would accept it.
Now I remember.
âRight. Gentle and kind, that was my mother.â
If I execute him in front of her, she will struggle with nightmares.
So, it is not a good time to execute him, not now.
âIâll shed blood, in a place where blood canât be seenâ
The promise of my second life was carved deep in my heart.
âFor now, my mother is the priority.â
Suddenly, Ian felt sorry for his mother.
In his former life, he couldnât protect his mother.
He was immature, didnât understand much.
âAt that time, I was too young.â
In his former life, Ian was an newbie, just entered into the academy.
He didnât tell anyone that he self-studied the fundamental management of mana and 1st class magic, actually, he couldnât.
âI was afraid, since I was young.â
Blinded by the fear that he might be rebuked about it.
So he had spent another whole year on magic theory class with other kids, in his former life.
As an ordinary mage apprentice, neither superior, nor inferior.
âOf course, no privileges was given to her like nobles.â
Mother had left Mogrian village.
She no longer needed to work as a kitchen maid, but that was all.
She spent 1 year alone.
âShe didnât get to enjoy any luxuries.â
After 1 year, when he finally became a 1st class magician, he finally received the rank as high as nobles.
Then mother passed away from an illness.
Even if she had a greatly talented son, she never had a chance to be treated as a noble.
However, this time, history will be changed.
âhew.â
After recalling the bitterness of his former life,
he sit squatted in front of the soldier.
âListen.â
A whisper only the soldier can listen.
âI exactly know how rubbishes like you think about my mother, saying dirty jokes about her.â
Then he made an eerie face at him.
No one would have imagined such an expression came from an 12 years old kid.
âSo what you saw, and heard today, relay it to the bastards like you.â
The soldier nodded crazily, as if he going to break his neck.
From his shaking two eyes, his desire of survival was reflected to Ian
âI will watch you.â
Then, Ian stood up and said to knights
âI think this is enough.â
At Ianâs wordâs, knights sheathed their swords.
âTh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you for my life!â
Although Ian stopped the execution, the soldier kept begging his life, to avoid Ianâs reconsideration, just in case.
âIs that little boy a mage?â
âThe son of an kitchen maid?â
âShut your mouth. Didnât you see that the soldier almost lost his neck?â
People started whispering to each other, and it seems there was no sign to the end of it.
Todayâs story might be spoken by people for a while.
âMr. mage, are there any more tests left?â
ââŠâŠ. huh? N..No. It is all done.â
âMr. Mage, if youâll excuse me, I better return to my home. My mother seems quite frightened.â
âYes, as you wish. Ah! wait, hold on a second.â
The mage suddenly stopped Ian and asked the knight, Aaron.
âSir Aaron, please escort the boy. I will contact you later through the crystal orb.â
Aaron obeyed the order without question.
It couldnât be refused, and also it was his duty.
âOk then, I better go now, Mr. Mage.â

Due to such a rare sight, People canât take their eyes off them.
