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 principal while we were having that conversation .

It's just right, let's talk about it with the principal .

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

The principal 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 principal 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 principal . "

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 principal'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 principal 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 principal 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 . "
