In the heart of the ever-changing royal capital, a brilliant school like a jewel stands in it, which is the famous Royal Capital Magic Academy.

The entrance of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic

The massive Mithril Arch, which is nearly three stories high, is engraved with its own bizarre runes, emitting a faint blue light.

"Finally. We're back! ”

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the surrounding juniors.

In the cool spring breeze, two young girls full of youth crossed the threshold of the magic academy with a smile.

They were dressed in college uniforms, and their blue and white plackets danced in the wind, and they seemed to glow with youthful brilliance in the morning light.

"Then let's go back to the academy first!"

Raya smiled and said to the young man not far behind her, waving her arms mischievously, like a naughty child.

Through her shoulder, a young man with a good face could be seen standing at the entrance of the academy, smiling at the two people in the academy.

This young man in black robes is the third member of Tina's team, Bill Liaton, who has just returned to the realm of legends a few days ago.

That's right, the three of them are Raya and the others who have just returned to the royal capital and are going to report to the graduation office of the academy.

The graduation ceremony of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic is not simply completed after defeating the trial goal.

In addition to the graduation ceremony in the final act, there are many other graduation steps that students need to complete on their own, and the process is as complex as Ron's previous life running to an official organization.

It's not troublesome, but it's just a waste of time to run around, and even seven or eight departments in a row for the same thing to give you the right solution.

This is also an old tradition in the Academy of Magic, and Tina, who is too lazy to take care of things, will let the three of them deal with these trivial matters first, and then call her for the award at the graduation ceremony.

(The graduate's supervisor will personally award the Graduation Medal to the graduating student at the graduation ceremony.) ）

"Well, stay safe, I'll be back for you soon."

Standing at the gate of the academy, Bill smiled and waved goodbye to the two, his voice was gentle, but it vaguely revealed a bit of reluctance.

Raya pursed her lips slightly:

"It's really verbose, I said I knew~~"

She was disgusted, but the twinkle in her eyes and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed her dependence and trust on Bill.

"Two hateful guys, until now, they still have to show affection in front of me, eat Fran with a blow FFF punch!"

After being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, Fran, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally angrily stretched out her claws to her friend.

"Hee-hee-ha, it's so itchy, don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"

"Impossible! Let the two of you partner to me off! ”

As the noise between the two faded away, the Mithril door of the Academy of Magic slammed shut with a dull sound.

Outside the door, Bill slowly lowered his arm.

At this time, the originally sunny smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a heaviness and uneasiness.

Inside the loose black robe, he subconsciously grasped the staff in his hand, and there were faint green tendons on the back of his hand.

The staff was wrapped with violet vines, each section of which was bejeweled, revealing a calm and mysterious temperament.

This is his former companion, the Epic Weapon: The Staff of Eccentricism.

The wand, which he casually discarded after losing his magical heart, should have found a new owner a long time ago, but.

"Is it still easy to hold?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Bill.

Bill didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his voice glowed with unprecedented confidence:

"Of course, do you need me to show you?"

"Then forget it, your spells are more extensive than the other, I don't want to be charged with disturbing the order of the royal capital and destroying the buildings of the royal capital."

Behind him, a figure spoke, slowly stepping out of the shadows in the corner.

The silver-white knight's uniform, the short red hair like flames, and the dragon sword he carried behind his back, which was known to everyone of the king, were enough to prove the identity of the comer.

The youngest legend of the Rose Kingdom, one of the twin stars of the royal capital, the legendary sword master - Rein Hart.

"Rhine!"

"Bill!"

As the two got closer and closer, the blue sky was vaguely bounded between the two, forming a vortex of white clouds.

With two palms tightly holding each other.

At this moment, the former twin stars of the royal capital are finally reunited again.

Looking at his best friend who finally cheered up, Reinhardt couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, patted the other party's shoulder fiercely and smiled:

"I spent a lot of money to find it, and my father and they almost wondered if I had come into contact with something bad outside."

Bill, who was patted with some bared teeth, endured the pain in his shoulder, smiled helplessly, and reminded "kindly":

"Earl Hart is right, you really need to find a partner, I think you're going to be 21 this year, right?"

is worthy of being an old enemy when he was young, and just one sentence made the young sword master's face a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, cough, don't hurry, don't hurry, I just want to concentrate on studying swordsmanship now, how can I have time"

Reinhardt scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly with a red face.

It's just that after saying this, he subconsciously turned his head sideways and glanced at the dragon sword behind him, and the latter still stayed calmly in the scabbard without any reaction.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this, I remember you didn't want to find a partner like me before? Speaking of which, at that time, my mother was still wondering if the two of us had the same hobby as those rotten nobles because of this incident, hahaha."

Rhein laughed and changed the subject, but he didn't notice that Bill's eyes on the other side suddenly darkened.

Mother, I've never experienced that feeling.

Bill looked up to the west.

That was the direction of home, but he hadn't been back for years.

Reinhardt, who seemed to notice that his best friend didn't seem to be in a good mood and didn't know what to do, had to pat the other party's shoulder:

"It's been a lot of work to find that staff, but it's worth it to see that you've finally regained your magical heart."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and looked at the other party's gaze suddenly became serious:

"I believe that this staff is far from the end of yours, and with your talent, sooner or later what has been left over the years will be picked up again, I am convinced of this!"

Facing Reinhardt, who had a sincere gaze, Bill couldn't help but bite his lip, feeling a strong warmth in his heart.

He knows very well how much time and energy the other party has spent on waking up his chaotic self over the years, even after his father gave up him as a "seed", the other party never thought of giving up.

Suddenly, Bill jerked his head down and bowed deeply to the other.

"Thank you, Rhine!"

His body was almost ninety degrees, and the standard ceremonial posture could not fault even the most discerning old nobleman.

"Don't, don't do this"

In the face of this sudden thank-you, Reinhardt seemed a little at a loss.

"I, that's whatever, they're all friends, that's it. That"

He quickly waved his hand, then scratched his head again, not knowing how to deal with this kind of scene.

At this time, Rhine did not look like a mature and stable legendary powerhouse, but more like a teenager who had just come of age.

"Still."

After the ceremony, Bill slowly raised his head, raised a hand, and said with a smile:

"But I won't give you the title of the strongest in the royal capital so easily, dear friend!"

Hearing this, Reinhardt also smiled

"Stupid, that's what I said."

After that, Reinhardt squeezed the other party's outstretched palm fiercely, and laughed loudly:

"After all, my best friend, I'm very strong now!"

"It's you."

"Each other~"

Under the warm spring sun.

The palms of the two young men clenched with each other seemed to travel back in time and space.

It was a, a hot-blooded boyhood. (End of chapter)
