“The Great Sage 2”

A few minutes after a crazy wizard barged into the room…

– Hey Takaya. You drank a lot yesterday, how’s the hangover?

Feria and Rudra just so happened to be walking by on their way to work when they saw a familiar face.

I had a lot of questions for Rudra, but it seems he has some of his own.

– Uhh, Great Sage, may I ask what brings you here?

– What do you mean? I’ve come to take my disciple just like we arranged.

So the person that Rudra went to meet was her.

She must be a great magician if she’s called “The Great Sage”. Rudra’s stiff reaction also gives it away.

– W-Well, yes, we did talk about that. But I thought we agreed on waiting until Takaya had settled in…

– Oh, nonsense. This kid is destined to become my disciple anyways. The sooner the better.

– Hwogh!?

As a way to assert dominance, Feria buried my face on her chest.

– Uh, Ever-san, can you please let me go?

– You say that, but it seems you’re enjoying it.

– Eeh!

– This part down here has been pretty lively.

Ever slid her fingers into my clothes, which made me groan a pitiful moan.

What is wrong with her?

What if Meirir were to appear right now?

– Takaya! Hii~ Wow, yesterday was so fun. We should do it agai- HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? (Meirir)

Right on time.

– Geez, could you please keep it down, you noisy rascal? It’s too early for this. (Ever)

– Me!? You’re the one getting all flirty with Takaya! Actually, who even are you!? (Meirir)

It seems Ever doesn’t usually show her face around the guild.

– Hello, Ever-senpai. You haven’t changed a bit. (Feria)

– Neither have you, Feria. You’re still as small as ever.

– Thank you for your unneeded concern.

Feria and Ever seem to know each other. It’s not a big surprise. Feria is rumored to be about 200 years old. Surely she knows a lot of people.

But even then she’s addressing Ever as her superior.

Which means Ever is older than Feria. It’s weird to think about it, but Feria views age from the perspective of an elf.

I took a glance at Ever. With her body and mannerisms, I don’t think she would be older than late 20s.

What an enigmatic woman.

– Takaya, Meirir, allow me to introduce her. Her name is Ever, an old acquaintance of mine. One of the few Level IX magicians. The only sage capable of using Master Class magic.

– Sage…

I still don’t know much about skills and stuff, but even I can tell that this person holds an absurd amount of power.

I was about to become the apprentice of a powerful sage that uses magic very few people are able to use.
