The Book of the Sage.

The Sage? That's...

the person who used to own that house, isn't it?

"I was able to do everything."

"Magic, martial arts, and fencing, of course,"

"but also cooking, singing, painting..."

"I mastered anything and everything,"

"and as a result, I entered the Realm of the Gods while still alive."

"But though the gods asked me to join them, I declined their invitation."

"The strength you possess is even more powerful than you know."

"One day, the humans around you will begin to fear you for it."

"Just as they did me."

The Sage and Magic

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too

"Able to do anything, and having entered the Realm of the Gods while still alive,"

"I felt so alone."

"I do not want your life to take this same path."

"The path of someone like me, for whom this was the only way to die as a person."

Sage-san...

But what can I do to make sure that I don't scare the people around me?

What is necessary for this...

is to build human relationships which you can trust.

Did I imagine that?

"Whether it be friends, lovers, or parents,"

"trust those who will stay by your side, even when everything about you is laid bare."

I'm someone who didn't have any friends until very recently,

so that's a very high hurdle to clear.

It seems that this is a difficult subject.

I really am having a conversation here, aren't I?

"Then just seek friends at your own pace."

"And now, I shall inscribe in this tome one thing you wish to know."

Something I wish to know?

Maybe... magic?

I have filled it with everything I know of magical theory.

Th-Thank you!

However, an otherworlder such as yourself does not possess magical pathways.

This means that you cannot use magic.

Magical pathways?

The humans of this world produce magical energy in their hearts.

It circulates through their bodies via their blood vessels.

As you do not have that ability,

I shall bestow my magical pathways upon you.

What?

It seems that my magical pathways are quite valuable in this world.

Rather than see them destroyed, it would be better for you to use them.

But, something that amazing, I—

If, in time, you become someone who is suited to such power,

and live a life in which can hold your head high, then that is enough.

I-I'm all right. I'm all right.

I would have you be happy.

Someone who is human, yet not human...

It is well that this describes me alone.

May your life be filled with much happiness and good fortune.

Thank you, Sage-san.

And I hope you find peace.

"Magic is the materialization of one's imagination."

"However, without the magical energy which serves as the source,"

"magic cannot be used."

"Begin by working to sense magical energy." Huh.

This feeling is...!

Skill "Magic Energy Manipulation" acquired.

These must be the magical pathways the Sage passed on to me.

Night, can you sense it, too?

Nice work, Night!

Next up is...

"Once you have confirmed the nature of the magical pathways, the rest is simple."

"Gather magical energy in the palm of your hand and imagine the magic you wish to invoke."

Huh... So, you don't need incantations or anything?

"If you name the magic yourself, it will be easier to invoke when the time comes."

I see.

Okay, Night. Let's give it a try!

Imagine it... Let's see.

The name of this magic is Water Ball.

I did it. I did it!

Night, you did it, too!

Nice work! Now we're both magic users!

Now, imagine shooting the Water Ball at that tree.

Raise your head.

Sire.

So, were you able to meet with the young man in question?

Yes, sire.

Just as Lexia-sama said,

we found him in the Darkest Regions.

As he seems to be from another country, his name sounds quite unusual to us.

And his appearance is one which would stand out considerably in our kingdom.

But, Your Majesty, I hope that you will admonish Lexia-sama.

When she suddenly proposed marriage to him, I was quite shocked.

What did you just say?

Nothing in particular.

What did you say?

As I said...

What did you say?

Well, you see...

Please, marry me!

What did you say?!

Who does he think he is?!

How dare that dirty weasel seduce my darling Lexia?!

Why does everyone in the royal family have to be so troublesome?!

Tsuchiya.

Here.

Tenjou.

Here.

Tobe.

Here.

Nitta.

Here.

Noguchi.

Here.

"As these things are the fruits of my own personal research,"

"do not assume that they are commonly known in the wider world."

"Instead, consider carefully when to use the things you learn here."

How do I use my magic?

When do I use my magic?

I have to be careful about when I use it.

Now, then...

As written in your calendar of events for the year,

next week, we will be holding our off-campus study.

Are you all ready for that?

Yes!

Off-campus study?

Now that I think about it, I never received a schedule.

To learn to acclimate to new environments,

we will be camping together for two nights.

I see.

I'm going to announce the teams for the off-campus study.

There are four people per team.

First, Team 1.

Yay!

I'm stuck with you?

Yeah.

I guess that's fine.

Yuuya, you're in Team 5? We're together! I'll be counting on you!

I'll be counting on you, too, Kaede.

Hey there, Yuuya-kun! I'm with you, too!

Akira-kun! Nice to have you.

Using "-kun" with me? How unnecessarily formal.

I-Is it?

Feel free to simply call me Akira!

Or you might call me the Young Noble of—

Your intro is way too long! Out of the way!

You're so mean!

I'm Rin Kanzaki.

You can drop the honorifics with me, too.

It'll be nice working with you, Yuuya.

Yes. Nice working with you, too, Kanzaki-sa—

I mean... Rin.

I see.

No wonder so many people are talking about you.

What?

Nothing! Just talking to myself.

If that moron over there would keep quiet,

I could agree to calling him a young noble.

Right?

No need to refrain. You may call me the Young Noble!

But because he's like this, I will likely never be able to call him that.

How come and why?!

This seems like it'll be a pretty lively team.

I'm looking forward to the off-campus study!

Now that I think about it, I don't have a rucksack or anything.

What should I do?

My grandpa liked traveling,

so his house might have one of those wheeled suitcases... maybe.

Let's go shopping for one together!

Everyone, thank you for having me.

I-I never dreamed that I'd get to hang out with Kaori-san!

We're not here to hang out.

We're here to help Yuuya with his shopping.

Sorry to make you come with me.

Not at all!

Shopping with friends... It's really quite exciting!

What a shocker! I never dreamed you'd be friends with Kaori-san!

Yeah! She's the daughter of the chairman,

and she's got that unapproachable aura about her!

My father is the important one.

I hope you'll all feel free to call me Kaori!

K-Kaori...

In that case, pleased to have you here, Kaori!

Of course!

Now that I think about it, where's Akira?

I invited him, but he said something about having plans, and then...

The Young Noble of this off-campus study trip wishes

he could have accompanied you and given you some nice advice!

...is what he said.

Well then, everyone, shall we?

It isn't crowded on weekdays. This is nice!

Yuuya-san.

Wouldn't something like this be good?

Nice work, K-Kaori! You've got good taste!

It's just a normal rucksack, but now it looks like a luxury item!

What are you talking about?

The size is perfect, too, isn't it?

Yeah. Maybe I'll get this one.

Kaori, thank you.

Of course!

I think that's just about everything.

And we can each bring our own stuff like cards, books, and snacks!

Can we really take stuff like that with us?

Well, we aren't middle-schoolers.

Oh, that's true.

Which means...

Yeah!

Let's have some fun!

I knew it! There's hardly anyone here!

Weekdays are awesome!

This whole floor is an arcade.

That's incredible.

My darling Hifumi-tan!

Hifumi-tan?

Oh, I want it!

But I'm really bad at crane games.

Then would it be all right if I tried?

You, Yuuya?

This is my first time playing, but I know how I should move it.

Is that because of my heightened perception from leveling up, too?

I'll use my Detect Weakness skill and...

Detect Weakness

Finds opponent's weaknesses and

So that's the spot to aim for.

If I nudge it, its center of gravity will shift and I can make it drop.

Are you serious?!

Nice job!

Yuuya-san, you're amazing!

In just one try?

Here, Shingo-kun.

Are you sure?!

Oh, Hifumi-tan! I've longed to meet you!

Yuuya-kun, can you get that one?

Detect Weakness.

You did it! Thank you, Yuuya-kun!

You've got a talent for this, too?

I got lucky, that's all.

Hey, can you get one for me, too?

And me!

If you wouldn't mind...

Yuuya! Thank you!

I really wanted this pen case.

Thank you so much, Yuuya-san!

S-Sure.

For real. He got 'em all, one after another!

Yeah!

He's a crane game genius!

I never imagined that something I did could make everyone this happy.

This is the first time I've been to an arcade,

but I can tell that you're amazing, Yuuya-san!

Should we head up to the seventh floor cafe and have some tea or something?

Baby Sundries, Children's

Cafe

Could all you guys go on ahead and wait for us?

I mean, us girls...

want to head there, right?

The 13th floor, yeah.

We'll hit the cafe later!

Then us guys will take a break.

It's bitter!

That's because you forced yourself to buy a coffee.

I should have gotten a melon soda, too.

You guys are such kids.

Grown men elegantly drink their coffee, like this.

It's bitter!

Yuuya, could you get us some sugar? And milk?

Sure.

Yuuya-kun?

What's wrong?

Hanging out with friends, visiting a cafe like this...

it's just so much fun.

I see. Let's come back here again and again, then.

Yeah!

Sure.

A fire has broken out. A fire has broken out.

The source of the fire is the 10th floor.

A fire?!

The fire is currently still spreading.

The 10th floor?

The arcade we were just at?

Everyone in the building, please evacuate now.

As you evacuate, do not use the elevators. The stairs—

Kaori and the others are on an upper floor!

We can't go this way!

Yuuya, that way!

Emergency stairs are this way!

The smoke has reached the seventh floor.

Everyone, stay calm and please evacuate!

That means that it's even worse on the upper floors!

Please, stay calm!

Wh-What do we do?!

Where's Kaori? Have three girls come down this way?

Leave that to us. You should all evacuate!

But we have friends on the 13th floor!

Kaede? Where are you right now?

It's dangerous here, so please...

I'm sorry. We didn't get out in time...

Kaede? Kaede?!

Yuuya, this is bad! They're all still upstairs!

Hello? There are still people up where you—

Hold it! You!

Yuuya!

Yuuya-kun!

Ryou, Shingo, you evacuate first!

One customer is headed upstairs!

You have to evacuate!

But!

Hurry!

Those smiles...

I'm going to protect them!

So this is the source of the fire...

It's no use. The sprinklers can't keep up!

This is the time to use magic!

Imagine it.

Magic surrounding my body.

Water and air...

enveloping it!

Okay. It worked.

Is there someone there?

Did you see something?

No, it's nothing.

We need to evacuate, too.

Yeah.

Kaori!

Kaede!

Rin!

Kaori!

Yuuya-san?

Kaori.

Is it just the three of them?

Is there anyone else?

Everyone else in the building has evacuated.

All right. We need to hurry up, too.

Will my magic hold out?

Can I make it through while carrying three people?

Yes. There are still high school students, one male,

three female, who were left behind.

Yuuya...

A dead end?

The only other way through is...

Why won't you go save them?!

It would be too reckless!

If we can't get the fire under control first,

it'll put the rescue team in danger, too!

Then what's gonna happen to our friends?!

What's that?

Shatter!

That's...

Hey!

I-Is that...?

There's someone on the first floor!

Are you all right?

It's dangerous there!

Yuuya!

Yuuya-kun!

We're all... We're all fine, I think.

Stop doing crazy things, man! We were worried!

That's right!

I-I'm sorry. You're right. That might have been a little crazy.

Since everyone's safe, it's fine, but...

It is not fine!

After that, the firefighters all got really angry with me, too.

Kaori's father thanked me for saving his daughter's life,

but that just made things awkward.

It was really hard to gloss over exactly how I'd saved everyone.

Here, Kaori.

So that's how family acts.

I don't have anyone who would...

I'm home!

Night!

Were you waiting for me?

Thank you.

Okay! Let's have dinner!

We're feasting tonight!

This is...

An Arrow Cage?

And who are you?

Why do you attack me, despite my sacred status?

An aura of corruption?

And those techniques you used to attack me...

they belong to that Divine Archer.

I've come to offer an invitation.

An invitation?

I will destroy it.

Destroy everything in this world.

This world cannot be saved. It isn't worth protecting.

Which is why you will also lend a hand...

to help destroy the world.

What?

I will return.

A girl possessing the powers of the Divine Archer.

She's trying to destroy the world.

I must stop her, whatever it takes...

and pass on my techniques as the Deity of Kicks.
