章節 47: The Straight Chisel School

It was morning. Linley had eaten breakfast, and was now headed to the back mountains, preparing to begin training.

While walking on the road out of the Institute, the little Shadowmouse was on Linley’s shoulders, scanning about in all directions.

“That guy is Linley, the number one magus amongst us first graders.” A clear voice rang out from not too far up ahead.

Linley couldn’t help but stare at the direction of the voice, and saw two cute girls chatting to each other while staring at him. When Linley glanced at them, the two girls began to titter in a quiet voice.

“I’ve become famous.” Linley mocked himself.
