Magician Ivan is a young beginner magician, his background is not very good, his father is a member of the Imperial Rainbow Guard, relying on his relationship, it took a lot of effort to give his son little Ivan, a military position in the magician support force. As a result, little Ivan became the youngest magician with the worst spells in the magic support force.

Twenty years have passed, and little Ivan has grown into old Ivan, a beginner magician, and he is still a beginner magician. Ivan's magical talent is really not good, otherwise he wouldn't have needed his father to come forward to arrange him to join the army, and he would stay for twenty years.

The Magic Support Force, whose full name is the Imperial Royal Magic Long-Range Support Rapid Reaction Force, is an army with magicians as the main body, specializing in providing long-range attack support, battlefield logistics support, medical assistance and other tasks for the Imperial infantry. Ivan's team has a total of five beginner mages, all of whom are spiritual magicians who are good at spatial magic. They are responsible for using space magic to help transport supplies.

Due to the inability to advance the level of magic, Ivan's spatial magic has always stayed in the spatial range of ten cubic grams (Note 1), so he can only stay in this team all the time, fortunately, after surviving a stable life in his forties, he became the oldest magician in this team, and he also became the team leader.

Originally, as a nobleman of the Magic Empire, although he was only a beginner mage, he was still above the commoners, and he was the ruling class of the empire, relying on his father's information and his own qualifications, and lived a good life.

However, to use the mantra that old Ivan used to say, "The shameless hillbilly aristocrats' sudden lust for power has stuffed their brains with shit", and suddenly overnight, the Magic Empire is at war. In the initial stage of the war, as a support force, old Ivan only had to hide behind the battlefield and watch the magicians on both sides release flowers to each other.

More than a year later, old Ivan realized that something was wrong. The troops he was in were dispatched more and more frequently, and the later he came, he barely had time to return to the camp, and he was fighting all day long. There are more and more casualties sent to the rear, and the chief medical officer is busy every day.

The captain of the team next door came over mysteriously one day and whispered to old Ivan, "Have you heard, it's not just those hillbillies who rebelled, they pulled a group of mud legs and formed a coalition army, and there were too many people in those mud legs." Only then did Ivan know that the scale of the civil war in the empire had far exceeded imagination, and a large number of civilians and aliens had joined the rebels.

After several years of tug-of-war, the rebel side with weaker magical strength learned faster and faster in the war, and the neat military formation and the wolf cavalry that came and went like the wind became the two sharp knives of the rebels, and the magicians of the rebels became auxiliaries instead.

On the other hand, although the ruling government still shouted the glory of the empire in the imperial capital was invincible, a low-level officer like Ivan still recognized the gradual deterioration of the situation.

The hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the imperial consuls and magician leaders finally created even more terrifying super magic, relying on these super magic, the imperial army and the rebels were stalemate for a while. Finally, in the wasteland on the banks of the Morro River, the last and largest field decisive battle broke out between the Magic Empire army and the rebels.

Fifty thousand imperial magicians and archers and seventy thousand rebels faced each other in a narrow wasteland, and the sky was covered with bows and arrows and magical fireballs. The last few hundred elite mages of the Magic Empire are all in the army, and they cast a terrifying super magic "Fire Rain Technique", tens of thousands of fireballs falling from the sky, and burning rebels lose their armor.

Surprisingly, the magician in the rebel army, a great medical officer, at that critical moment, cast the super magic of the healing department, oh, that hateful traitor, he stole the treasure of the Magic Empire, "Spirit Introduction", this healing magic, in the wasteland, created a shield for several miles, blocked the super fireball out of the mask, and the rebel infantry and wolf cavalry regrouped, once again slaughtered the imperial army.

Twenty thousand archers, depleted of their physical strength and without the protection of their magicians, were slaughtered by the rebels after shooting the last of their feathered arrows. Old Ivan, who was originally supporting in the rear, along with his squad, was also driven to the direction of the battlefield by the nobles who oversaw the war. The overseer, who had lost their minds, actually stuffed a bow and arrow into one of Ivan's team.

Looking at the blood-stained bow and arrow in his hand, old Ivan wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know which unlucky guy left it, but did the overseer lose his will, I am a magician, a magician, how could this thing be used.

But the blood-red eyes of the Overseer told Ivan Sr. that they were all insane, that they were also magicians, and that they were also holding a bloody, broken sword.

Old Ivan was thus pushed forward by the crowd, and in front of him, the shouts of killing all day were deafening, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt meat, which made people sick. Old Ivan's nervous hands and feet trembled, and when he looked back, his five team members were also trembling.

Finally approaching the battle surface, thanks to his age and seniority, old Ivan has seen enough war scenes, and with only a glance at the situation on the battlefield, old Ivan knows that the army of the Magic Empire is not saved. "Hey, stinky boys, find a way to protect yourself, this won't work, ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, a scimitar burst through the air, slashing past old Ivan's side and embedding it in the neck of a magician behind him. The young mage opened his eyes and looked at the scimitar in disbelief, blood gushed out in an instant, soaring into the sky, and the piercing blood red reflected into everyone's eyes, the young mage opened his mouth, and finally failed to highlight a word, and fell heavily.

"Ahhhh

Old Ivan, who was mixed in the crowd, had given up the idea of resisting, taking advantage of the chaos around him, he quickly threw away the weapon in his hand, lay down on the ground, his hand kept waving, the magician costume on his body, quickly disappeared into the air, old Ivan quickly picked up the corpse of a rebel next to him, quietly stripped off his clothes and put on himself, wiped some blood and smoke from the dead man's pile on his face, and then drilled directly into the dead man's heap.

As night fell, the red sun finally set, and the fierce battle ended, groups of rebel soldiers, searching the corpses on the ground, and when they met their own people, naturally there were medical officers who stepped forward to help bandage them, and when they met the living imperial soldiers, they were all stabbed.

Old Ivan, looking with apprehension at the several magicians who had been his companions not long ago, was found in the pile of dead people, and one of them was loyal to the archon after being stabbed. And herself, dressed in a rebel uniform, is being carefully cared for by a beautiful elf girl.

Whether it is a rebel army or an imperial soldier, they are all human beings on the continent, and no one can quickly distinguish them from the identity, old Ivan hurriedly looked at the name tag on his coat, the seventy-first squad of the twenty-sixth wing of the seventeenth regiment of the rebel army, Ivanovich. "Hehe, it's also called Ivan, it's really a coincidence. Old Ivan, who was silently thinking in his heart, went from a beginner magician of the empire to a member of the rebel army. Old Ivan, who had suffered some minor injuries on the battlefield, was sent to the rear for treatment and was far away from the battlefield.

In the days that followed, Ivan Sr. heard the battle reports coming from the front: the remnants of the magicians of the Magic Empire caused a big explosion north of the Morro River, blasting the earth into a huge rift in a vain attempt to organize the footsteps of the coalition army (Note 2), the coalition army broke through the Grand Canyon with a fly-off bridge, the coalition army surrounded the capital of the Magic Empire, and the last consul of the Magic Empire set fire to the imperial capital, and the fire burned all the time...

With the fall of the Magic Empire, the coalition forces entered the capital of the Magic Empire and held the famous "spoils sharing conference", and the old Ivan also silently took off his military uniform, went to a farm not far from the capital of the Magic Empire, and bought the land for a few pieces of gold. The manor was small in size, but it was fertile in the ground, and looking north, you could see a small amount of black smoke in the distance over the capital of the Magic Empire, and the fire was so great that after so long, there was still an unburned spark revived.

Old Ivan sometimes thinks that space magic is too magical, in the army, he is not very good at magic, naturally he is disliked by everyone, but at the last moment of the battlefield, relying on space magic, old Ivan hid all the things related to his status as a nobleman of the Magic Empire, and since then there is no Ivan of the noble soldier of the Magic Empire, but only the farmer Ivanovich.

At the same time, there were some gold bars hidden in the space magic, which were the rewards prepared by the Imperial Warlords, but of course they failed to fulfill in the end, and they were stolen by Old Ivan without realizing it. With this gold, old Ivan bought the manor, and then built the largest farm castle near Kyoto Castle, and courted several beautiful girls as lovers, although the gentle elf girl who took care of himself was his favorite. Obviously, people didn't take a fancy to old Ivan, who was already a half-old man.

Although the human woman is not as beautiful as the elf girl, she is better than being physically strong and producing, and after just a few decades, the old Ivan, who is already an old man, has three sons and four daughters. More than 20 years later, he has eight grandchildren, and the castle is often filled with laughter.

No one in this world knows the secret of old Ivan, and the family will always find out that this old man likes to look at the construction of Kyoto Castle in the distance when he has nothing to do. In old Ivan's space magic, there is also a set of noble mage robes of the magic empire, and old Ivan always thinks of his father in his mind.

Ivan Sr. hadn't seen his father since the day he set out, and the Rainbow Guards had long since disappeared with the Magic Empire. Ivan sometimes wondered if he would have been able to save the empire if he hadn't pretended to be a coalition soldier (Note 3)

Note 1: Ten cubic grams, the length, width and height are all cubes of ten cubic grams.

Note 2: As a member of the coalition army, old Ivan did not dare to mention the word rebel again.

Note 3: Old Ivan is already old and confused.
