A year passed.
Rest focused on studying for the entrance exam to the academy.
He went over his reference books countless times, and whenever he hit a snag, he not only asked his sisters but also researched in the library.
At the same time, he spent his days sparring with his butler, Dible.
He had already become capable of using most of the magic that Dible had mastered.
Sometimes Viola and Primula would join in the training, and occasionally even Lady Ailish would come in and chase him around, which was all in good fun.
Having gained enough practical experience, he was now able to win against Dible about half the time.
He still couldn't win in martial arts, but when it came to basic magic, he had already surpassed him.
He received a solid endorsement that he could probably manage just fine as a court magician right now.
