Are you awake, Boss?

Yeah.

I dreamt about everything I've experienced at school.

Oh.

It's about time now.

The headmaster of the black institute isn't here, though.

It's hard to tell if any of the people at his school are actually students, anyway.

No wonder it's on the verge of shutting down.

The students each of us picked to participate in the rookie battle

of the Six Institute Magic Contest should arrive soon.

As you know, the rookie battle is held on the first day of the contest,

and involves a freshman representative from each school competing against each other.

We have to start things off with a bang,

so I picked a real crackerjack from my students.

Well, I guarantee it will be my choice from the blue school who brings home the gold.

I have a great deal of confidence that my school will stand on top.

It's hard to say anything when our chosen students

haven't even arrived to introduce themselves.

Ah, speak of the devil!

I'm here for the meeting.

He's here!

This is him!

There's my guy!

Here he is.

It's Arel,

This is Arel,

from the white institute!

from the yellow institute!

Here's Arel,

from the blue institute!

This is Arel,

from the green institute!

This here's Arel,

from the red institute!

Eh?

Huh?

Hm?

Say what?

What's going on?

Are those screams?!

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

Classless Hero

Hey, what's that?

Eh?

Is it a slime?

Is it catching the monsters?

Eek!

It's a slime! Everybody run!

I'm heading over there!

We should get a move on, too!

Fire Lance!

It didn't do anything?!

Then I'll use a more powerful Eruption spell!

What are you doing?!

Do you want to die?!

I'm sorry, thanks for saving me.

Collette!

Take this! Ice Wall!

Oh no!

Eat this! I learned it from my Master: Modified Eruption!

Oh man!

We're toast!

Yikes!

Nobody's life gets ruined over a single screw up.

This time I WILL die if I screw up!

That's all the more reason I can't give up!

Tornado!

That figures.

But I'm glad I fought until the end and didn't worry about messing up.

Huh?

You did very well.

Mr. Arel!

Master!

Thank goodness!

All the headmasters are here!

You need to get out of here, kids.

Evacuate to city hall.

You don't need me to fight?

We've got this, we headmasters are supreme class.

Sit back and watch what happens when teachers get serious!

It's our duty to protect the lives of our students after all.

Oh, okay.

Never seen a slime quite like this before.

It came from the black institute, so I'd like to hear from Blag about this.

Blazes, what could he be doing?

I'm guessing it has magic resistance based on what happened in that earlier fight.

Perhaps. But those were only spells cast by students.

Permafrost!

Holy Cross!

That's the best we had!

Tch, that damn slime! Hey!

Yes, let's do it.

Prominence!

Tempest!

That should do it!

Uh oh, this is bad.

What the hell?!

It's not resistant to our magic, it's feeding off it!

Look out!

Grand Wall!

Whew, that was a close one!

But it won't hold for long.

This monster doesn't resist magic.

It absorbs it and uses it to grow larger.

Maybe if we attack all at once, we can overwhelm it and do some damage?

That's not a good idea.

We don't know how much it can absorb.

If it has no limit and just keeps growing, then...

How are we supposed to fight it?!

They only used spells that I've heard about from Dad or read about in books.

Doesn't seem like there's much else for me to learn in the City of Magic now.

So, you're just spectating?

They told me they could handle it.

But it's also partly because I wanted to see what magic they used.

Well, Gluttony Slimes can be nasty.

Never thought I'd see one outside the demon realm.

Ow!

Sounds like you know something. You better start talking, fast.

You don't have to threaten me! I'll talk!

That slime has the ability to absorb all things and then grow bigger.

It especially likes mana.

Oh.

So that means every time it eats magic, it grows?

But those guys are using magic on it like a bunch o' dopes!

Dumb, right?

What about magic so powerful that it can't absorb it all,

or physical attacks delivered faster than it can process?

I don't think any spells could be that powerful.

And I imagine it will just eat any weapon you try to hit it with,

whether sword or spear.

Well, it's worth testing out.

Done.

Huh? What are you making a sword for?

Did you forget, Matty?

I know how to handle a sword.

But weren't you using a wand to fight me last time?!

I thought it'd be best to use a proper sword when I fight that slime.

Hey! Are you saying I wasn't even worth using a sword on?!

I'm Demon Royalty, you know!

Okay, let's do this.

Eh? Do you mean I'm comin' with?

Of course, you're my familiar.

This is looking bad; we're out of options.

Could that slime be heading for the city center?

Damn it!

Is giving up the City of Magic our only choice?

If we act now, there's time to evacuate.

What's that?

Holy crap!

Dragon Fang Slice!

Master's fighting!

You actually cut through the Gluttony Slime?!

Seems it didn't do any damage.

Wh-wh-why can you use a sword?

Have you always been a Swordsman?

Thinking about it, you never mentioned your class, did you?

So, you're a Magic Swordsman, then?

I'm classless.

Nonsense!

Get out of here.

That slime loves eating mana, so it attacks spellcasters.

Don't be stupid!

You think we'd run off and leave a student behind?!

It eats mana?

Ah, I understand!

Then the slime is heading for the city hall

in pursuit of the student's mana?!

Not on our watch! We're stoppin' it!

But magic doesn't work on it!

Infinite Break!

Let me handle this. I'll slow it down.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah.

But-!

Fine. Just don't overdo it.

Zactly what I'd expect from a demon realm Slime, your attacks ain't doing crap!

You're such a rude familiar.

I'll feed you to the Slime as punishment.

Whoa! That punishment's way harsher than the crime!

Here, boy. Come eat this tasty mana snack.

Come on! Cut the crap!

Demons taste bad enough to make it run away?

No, I'm pretty sure it just knows we'd be a pain in the butt to fight.

Hmph.

Things will get annoying if it manages to escape.

Grand Wall!

Golem Creation!

Let's find out if it can come back from being thoroughly minced!

Absorb this!

Quintuple Infinite Break!

Give it to 'im, Master!

Wow!

Unbelievable.

He's skilled with a sword on top of being able to use multiple types of magic?

Is he truly classless?

He's even got a demon familiar.

Looks like he can also use black magic.

Who in the world is he?

Even my beta golems couldn't withstand using Infinite Break, huh?

Looks like mincing it into a million pieces didn't work.

Ready to give up?

Nah.

If the sword won't work, then I'll beat him with magic.

You already know magic doesn't work, right?

Sounds like you're graspin' at straws!

I just have to use a spell it can't absorb.

Eh? Red magic? That ain't gonna work.

Knew he was grasping at straws.

Hurry up and get eaten.

No, not red magic.

I honestly wanted to avoid using this spell, though...

Whoa, you're using all six magic circles at once?!

And now, I'll combine them all into one attack!

Listen, Arel. On top of being difficult to control,

the effects of this magic circle are extremely dangerous.

If at all possible, refrain from using it.

What kind of magic is it?

It's a tremendously powerful spell that is activated by

cycling through all six attributes simultaneously.

Just one misstep would wipe out the spellcaster and everything around them.

Dad is really something.

I can barely maintain control through parallel thinking,

and my mana reserves...

maybe it's not enough...

Smell ya later!

Oh no!

Wha?!

Get him, Master!

Elimination!

Did he just wipe out the whole place along with the Gluttony Slime?!

Using magic?!

That's right.

Even an annoying regenerating slime can't come back from being totally eradicated

with one huge attack.

Shucks, Boss...

I had complete faith that you'd win!

Turns out invoking all six types of magic at once is tough.

As I thought, it was annihilation magic!

Why can you use that?!

It's supposed to be a legendary spell

that only the rare ultimate class Magelord can use!

So, does that mean you're a Magelord?

But you told us you were classes.

He's too young!

He must be lying about both his age and class!

Isn't that right?

Who cares about his age!

What the hell did you do to become a Magelord?!

I'm classless.

My father is a Magelord.

I learned annihilation magic from him.

Your dad's a Magelord?

Could you possibly mean Leon?!

You know my dad?!

Course I know him! He was my schoolmate!

But thanks to that guy, I always came in second place!

That jerk was even praised as a future headmaster!

Until he bloody quit midway through the second year!

A man named Leon, who was exemplary and dropped out partway...

Ah!

Was he known in the blue school too?

I do remember a younger schoolmate with that name.

He suddenly disappeared, though.

My dad said he studied all the practices one by one.

Talk about a workaholic.

I recall him attending my classes as well.

I remember him, too.

Then, well...

seeing as you're the son of the Magelord Leon,

did he tell you the secret to becoming a Magelord?

Yeah.

You have to acquire all skills across the magic spectrum

and raise them to their highest level.

What?

So, no matter how much we master in one type of magic,

we can never become a Magelord?

Then our current style of teaching with schools divided by magic type

will not raise any Magelords.

That also means we need to keep the black institute around, right?

Huh, where'd he go?

Oh, there it is.

It went flying everywhere when I cut it,

so I figured a part of it may have survived.

Yeesh. What a stubborn lil thing.

You should finish it off now.

No, I was thinking I could put a servant seal on it now that it's so weak.

Eh? You're planning on making that thing a familiar as well?!

This is great for getting rid of trash, just like I figured.

Well done, little friend.

Using a Gluttony Slime as a trash can... disgusting.

You want to eat more, Wobwob?

You put this thing through hell, so why is it so attached to you?

Slimes don't feel pain.

Besides, it probably feels like the fighting we did was a game.

A game?!

Master, are you really leaving?!

Where'd you hear that?

From the headmasters!

They want us to stop you.

Master! Please stay until graduation! Leaving is so mean!

Even if I do, there's nothing else at this school that I can learn.

Oh, come on!

There's still so much that I want to learn from you!

For the millionth time, I don't remember becoming your master.

You're so cold, Master!

I'm sad.

And I thought we'd become actual friends.

Um...

I'm going to drop out.

But I'll stop by here again if I get the chance.

Will you really?! You've gotta, okay?!

What will you do after you quit the institute, Mr. Arel?

I'll go back home first.

They might be worried since I didn't say anything when I left,

and after that I'm going to the City of Monsters.

That's the city where monsters from around the world gather, right?

I gained a new monster servant, you see.

So I have to study how to handle them.

Another one? Is there someone besides Matty?

Even that brat's callin' me "Matty"!

Yeah, it's a slime.

A slime?!

It's a cute one that won't hurt you.

Wh-whoa!

So little...

It's cute, I think...

The color of it is similar to the scary slime from yesterday, huh?

Just a coincidence.

Yeah, that must be it.

Its name is Wobwob.

How simple.

It's as adorable as its name.

I wish that other slime was as harmless as this one.

Yeah, would've been nice.

I don't believe this!

Why would a magic user of his caliber leave the city?

I don't know what to tell you.

Simply having a rare supreme class Magelord around would be a huge economic boon!

We have no right to stop him if he wants to leave the institute.

And we can't force him to stay, either.

Truth be told, we couldn't win even if we all ganged up on him!

This can't be happening...

There's no need to worry, Mayor Noel.

We now know the requirements to becoming a Magelord.

That means we can just raise new Magelords.

That may be true, but just how long will that take?

Gah! Wait! Headmaster Blag?!

You made it out okay?!

Yes, don't worry.

Only my physical body was eaten by the slime.

Doesn't that mean you're dead?!

Holy crap, I can see through you!

Y-you're a ghost!

Well, I'm pleased I made it back!

Black magic is indispensable to becoming a Magelord!

Let's have all six institutes help each other out from now on.

I must admit, I'm worried for the future of the City of Magic...

Okay, time to head home.

I can't wait to see Dad and everyone else!
