Ian stood up. Then he aimed his staff at Mcgedieâs face, while injecting sufficient mana to operate the new scripted formula.
*Wooooom*
A grey light from the staff tangled Mcgedie. Soon surprising things happened. A few spells on Mcgedie, such as âFace Offâ which changed her face like a male, and the âVoice Changeâ spell, etc disappeared.
âEhâŠâŠ huh?â
She started to turn into a female.
Her body and voice started to turn back to her original status.
âWhy thisâŠ. Hik!â
Mcgedie quickly blocked her mouth after hearing her voice. She quickly checked her face. Her smaller nose and thinner chin answered her instead. Every magic that she used to change her appearance was cancelled.
âCancelation?â
She had learned this magic as well. Although she couldnât use it, she knew some famous high tier spells. And this spell was one of them. It was the spell that âDispelledâ a targetâs âsupportive magicâ by high chance. It must be âCancelationâ magic that was scripted on the staff.
(ED Note: Yugioh anyone?Dispel?)
âS, sir Ian âŠ..?â
She looked at Ian with round eyes. She was requiring Ian to explain this situation.
âIt works well.â
However, Ian couldnât answer to her. His head was full of his staff. He wasnât listening or looking at Mcgedie.
âNow it would be perfect with the communication orb.â
With Ianâs single swing, a communication orb came out from his bag and flew to his hand. Its size and appearance was perfect as the final decoration for the top of the staff.
âBite it.â
Soon, the staffâs branches started to tangle the communication orb as it if could listen Ianâs order. It grabbed it solidly.
âThatâs right. Good boy.â
Ian petted the staff as if treating a dog. Soon, he looked at his surroundings. Naturally, his eyes met with Mcgedieâs.
âWhere is the great land lord?â
ââŠâŠ What?â
Mcgedie was full of embarrassment.
On the other hand, Ian was calm.
âI better return âŠ..â
âW, wait a second, sir Ian!â
Mcgedie blocked Ianâs path. She was a little bit worried so she dared to block her seniorâs path, but she had to listen his answer.
âH, how did you know?â
âWhat are you asking about?â
âT, that I disguised as a maleâŠ.â
âAhh.â
Ian nodded his head with a dry expression.
âI knew it since the very beginning.â
âD, did you?â
âThere is a full detailed report about the conducted mages on the Ivory Towerâs report, of course. I checked it all before, McgedieâŠ. I mean, Mary.â
Thatâs right.
What Ian said was natural.
Ian was one of the heads of the Ivory Tower.
He must have known about it.
Mary, which was her real name, started to turn red in the face.
âT, then why didnât you tellâŠâŠâ
âI just thought you had a personal reason. I think the great land lord also knew it already. The personal details of the conducted mage is always handed to the land lord as well.â
It was also quite natural. However, Maryâs face was getting more red and red; it seemed like her face was going to blow up. Although it was common sense for the conducted mage, she hadnât think about it.
âThenâŠ..â
She started to recall all her past actions. She acted as male in front of Ian, furthermore, to the land lord as well. She recalled from one to ten.
âI, I am stupidâŠâŠ.â
She started to blame herself.
âT, then what about soldiersâŠ?â
âNo. They donât know about that. Me and the land lord, ah, and other conducted mages as well. Thatâs all the people who knew about you.â
Mary thanked God that at least the soldiers didnât know about that. If it was figured out they also had known Maryâs identity, it would shame her so much.
âI thought you would know about it. But, I apologize if I offended you.â
âN, no. You donât have to. Itâs justâŠ..â
Mary moved to the side unnaturally. She was confused, and wanted to calm down. She didnât block Ianâs path to receive his apologize.
âT, then do your business!â
At last, she ran out the room.
âHmm.â
Ian felt he did something wrong.
However, he couldnât understand her feelings perfectly.
Ian wondered.
âDoesnât she just need to disguise herself again?â
No idea.
While scratching his head, Ian left his room. He had to report to the great land lord before leaving the place. Ian finished his mission.
âLetâs go back to my home.â
It was much more pleasant thing to have a home to return to than Ian had thought.
*Beat! Beat!*
Even thinking of his home made his heart beat.
It beat really fastâŠ.
ââŠâŠ Huh?â
But it seemed much more than normal. Although he had been looking forward to going back home, it was way too much.
*Beat! Beat! Beat! Beat!*
Literally, the beating sounded as if it would explode soon.
He had never experience such beating, including both his former and current life.
Even drinking multiple half elixirs, which stimulated a mana heartâs activity, wouldnât cause his heart to beat like this.
âErghâŠ..!â
Now he started to feel pain.
He had thought of every possibility.
Was there something wrong with his body?
âSuddenly, why?â
The heart started to beat faster and rougher.
His mana heart started to release mana.
Ian started to feel dizzy.
âPerhaps.â
Suddenly, there was one possibility that struck Ianâs head.
He realised the state of his mana heart, which was still immature.
âMaybeâŠ..â
It might be a sign of his mana heartâs growth?
It wasnât sure.
However, it was worth the check.
Ian sat down quickly to mana breathe.
âPhewâŠâŠ!â
While tolerating the severe pain from his heart, Ian started his mana breathing. Although every single breath of his was quite painful, he endured it again and again.
âIf this is what I expect.â
His mana pool hit the limit 5 years ago.
But this time, he might able to break his limit.
Then, he might overcome the 5th class master.
âBecoming a 6th class beginner.â
(ED Note: So I never realised that in between classes there were subclasses as well because bloody Ian is breaking through too quickly. Apparently in each class there is beginner and a master. Not too sure if there is intermediate or middle yet but maybe weâll know once he actually gets stuck again or something.)

Blood flowing in the opposite direction leaked from his lips, nose and ears. It was blood that was dead and dark. Whoever saw Ianâs current status would be shocked. It was fortunate that he wasnât at home at the moment.
