Chapter 58 - 4: 4999

"Name?"

"Yug Golden Greed"

"Magic Rank?"

"Mage of rank A"

After Yug answered the questions of the man in armor, he gave Yug a wooden badge.

"Go test your magic power in one of the rooms behind me." Then came Haruto's turn, so Yug waited on the side.

"Name?"

"Haruto"

"Magic Rank"

"I don't know?"

"Huh?"

The man in armor stopped writing and looked at Haruto for a moment before saying:

"Young man, I know the reward promised by the queen is lucrative, but you should consider your life first."

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I truly want to participate."

The man in armor sighed, before giving Haruto a wooden badge.

"Go test your magic power in one of the rooms behind me."

Yug and Haruto entered a large room with three huge crystal balls, two women wearing red magician's robes approached and asked them to use their strongest attack on one of the crystal balls.

Yug put his fists against each other creating three magic circles, before aiming at a ball.

"Magic of the Alchemist: Wind Arrow"

*Bang* *Bang*

A red lightning bolt came out of Yug's entire body drawing the air in the room towards his hand, then the air was compressed into an arrow creating whirlwinds.

*Boom*

The arrow crossed the distance with insane speed and hit one of the crystal balls, creating a wind blast.

After a few moments, the crystal ball displayed the number "2 900".

The two magi were a little surprised, they took Yug's wooden badge and marked the letter A on it.

"Ha-Ha-Ha brat, you saw the power of your Uncle Yug, it's still nothing, remember that the great Yug even knows forbidden spells, unfortunately... the power of those spells are such that I'm afraid to use them myself."

Haruto ignored Yug before standing in front of a crystal ball.

When he raised his fist a magic circle materialized in front of it and shrank until it fully disappeared.

The air around Haruro's fist began to vibrate, creating a slight resonance wave, Haruto struck the air in the direction of the crystal ball.

*Bang* *creak*

"4999"

The magic crystal ball broke and fell to the ground, no longer working.

The two magicians and Yug silently stood, looking at Haruto in amazement, especially Yug, who had an impulse to commit suicide, because he knew that Haruto had learned magic for only two months.

"God, why do you create human beings so differently? It's because he's better-looking than me or is it because he's younger? I spent forty years learning magic to get where I am, but that damn kid, no he can't be human, that damn dragon or demon! Otherwise how else could a human learn magic like that?!"

While Yug was comforting himself, the two magicians respectfully marked the letter S on Haruto's badge, then they told Yug and Haruto to go to the back yard of the building.

A few minutes later the two arrived in a large yard of about 200 square meters where they saw several people dressed in magic robes and battle dresses, all standing in front of a large stage, some were chatting while others stood silently, yet the place was rather lively.

Haruto and Yug went into an empty corner and patiently waited.

Haruto took the badge out of his pocket and inspected it for a moment, before looking at Yug, who had a depressed facial expression.

"You know what the S on the badge stands for?"

Yug looked at Haruto with envy clearly written on his face, his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to rush in and rip the badge out of Haruto's hand.

"The promised awards are divided into four categories, for mage rank C- 50,000j, mage rank B- 500,000, mage rank A- 1,000,000, mage rank S- 10,000,000."

Haruto nodded, before putting the badge back in his pocket, it could be said that he needed money as well.

Since his arrival in this world, he felt that the force of expulsion is getting stronger and stronger, as if the world itself wanted to reject him.

It was more like a sensation than a force, but Haruto could feel the strengthening of this sensation every day. If it continued like this, he is sure to be expelled from this world like what happened in the world of the ninjas.

However, this feeling began to fade slightly since he had started learning magic, Haruto quite surely did not want to find himself in the dimension of bubbles, because he knew that he wouldn't survive there, even his intuition said that if he died there, he would die permanently, without further reincarnation.

So the most obvious solution for him right now is to look for a magic that will allow him to cross the world of bubbles without facing the chains that hurt him.

But learning magic in this world is horribly expensive, even the most ridiculous magic accessories costs around 50,000J ($500).

Haruto looked at his arm and legs for a moment and sighed, even after two months, he felt no sensation in his limbs and it could even be said that the situation was getting worse, if it continued like this he would surely become paralyzed.

Suddenly, a great tumult brought him to senses, he raised his head and saw a middle-aged man with long black hair, droopy eyes, and a small goatee, wearing an armor, with a dozen soldiers standing on the stage behind him.
