From a single glance, I knew that this man was out of the ordinary. His honed physique was like steel, and I could tell that his magical power was on an entirely different level from mine.

This was the first time I’d found myself face-to-face with such an elite magician, ranked far above any of my teachers at the academy. But even more importantly, I already recognized him and knew his name.

This man was Gawain Stark. As one of only seven magicians in the kingdom with the rank of magus, he was at the very apex of the magical community in Ardenfeld. So renowned was he for his mastery of fire-type magic, he was also known by another name: the Hellfire Magician.

I’m starstruck! The great magician I’ve admired for so long is standing right in front of me!

“E-Excuse me! C-Can I have your autograph?” I spluttered.

“Hmm? No problem. What would you like me to sign?”

Damn it!

I didn’t have anything quite suitable. For a moment, I was all in a flutter. “Um, then, can you sign here on my uniform?”

“Stop that,” Luke said, seizing me by the scruff of the neck. “Do you think anybody has ever written on the robes of a royal court magician? And on your first day too!”

“Lay off!” I objected. “If I miss this chance, I might never see him again.”

“You really love magic, don’t you?” Luke sighed in exasperation. “But he’s our boss. That means whether you like it or not, you’ll be seeing a lot more of him.”

“F-For real?”

That seemed obvious once Luke mentioned it, but it hadn’t sunk in yet. I couldn’t believe it.

I guess I’m really here—in this wonderful place.

“Looks like you’ve brought in another odd one, Luke,” Gawain said. “But still, I couldn’t help wondering what would happen when you said you were getting someone from outside to be your apprentice.”

“I told you, didn’t I?” Luke replied. “I said I was getting somebody I could never truly defeat.”

“Well, realistically I didn’t take that to mean someone this strong was really coming. I figured we already had the best people working here.”

“She can be a bit stupid and absent-minded.”

“Who’re you calling stupid?!” I shouted, getting defensive quickly.

I have beauty and brains! Not only am I a quick-witted intellectual, but I’m smoking hot too! Don’t you call me stupid!

“I get it,” Gawain said. “You must be good friends.”

“Indeed. For an untrusting person like me, she’s the only one I can really be myself around.”

What a thing to say with a straight face. Ugh. Ugh! Come on, you’re embarrassing me! I clutched at my face, straining from my internal discomfort.

Gawain ignored me, going on, “So, if she’s your apprentice, that must mean she’s part of my unit.”

“Correct. She’ll be in the third unit with me.”

“Then I suppose you won’t mind if I kick off the initiation.”

Huh? What’s that?

Luke spotted my puzzled expression. “As you can see, he’s a big, brash jock. He does this every time a rookie comes in. It’s a hazing ritual they call the Baptism of Hell or the Sixty Seconds of Blood.
