Chapter 1

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

The Aldeheim family, a magical aristocrat, is a famous family who has produced excellent mages for generations.

Those born to the Aldeheim family will be evaluated for talent aptitude at the age of five.

Everyone in the Aldeheim family was paying attention to this appraisal result, as the degree of magical progress varies greatly depending on the talent.

Today, Noah, the eldest son of the Aldeheim family, is five years old and is being tested for talent aptitude.

Noah’s father and current head of the Aldeheim family ── Hildegard expected Noah to have the talent and aptitude of [attack magic] and [attribute magic].

Attack magic and attribute magic are the main means of attack for mages.

With those talents, you can grow into a strong mage.

Even if you have the same [attack magic] talent, there are good and bad things in it, but the Aldeheim family is the best among all mages.

It was very likely that he would inherit a great talent.

Furthermore, if you want more, there are magical talents that have a high degree of difficulty to handle, such as [spirit magic] and [summon magic].

But Hildegand didn’t expect him to handle those magics.

A room in the mansion.

A top-notch appraiser was invited for Noah, and the appraisal was done without any deviation.

After the appraisal, the appraiser was sweating from his forehead.

For a while, he kept silent without saying the appraisal result.

Noah was curiously watching the situation.

He had a faint expectation of what his talent was.

In contrast to Noah, Hildegard was worried about the results.

(No way … Noah has no talent …?)

The tension is transmitted to the appraiser making it even harder to say the results for the appraiser.

“You … Tell me the result quickly. Spit out what is Noah’s talent!”

At last Hildegard ran out of patience and became angry.

The appraiser slowly opened his heavy mouth.

“No, Noah’s talent is … [translation] … only …”

“What … what …!?”

Hildegard stood there with his eyes wide open.

──This was an unusual situation in the Aldeheim family.

There was no magical talent.

That means he couldn’t use magic.

Hildegand was stunned, but his feelings gradually turned into anger.

“Father … what’s wrong?”

Even though Noah was young, he felt that his father’s eyes had changed.

“Noah … well, you smeared my face with mud …”

“fa, father …”

Hildegand approached Noah and slapped his cheek.

Noah’s cheeks turned red with a clicking sound.

“Shut up! You are not my child!”

Hildegard yelled so and left the room.

The appraiser is confused but follows Hildegard.

The left-behind Noah want to burst into tears, but did not cry.

This is because my father told me to “shut up!”

In the room

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”

A young voice echoed quietly.

◇

From this incident, Noah was treated coldly by the Aldeheim family.

He was given a meal without any minimum education.

Those who served the mansion did not even take care of Noah.

Hildegard told his servants that he would be fired if he took care of Noah.

Hildegard was furious at his innocent child.

Noah tried to be a good boy, but no one praised him.

And every day I remembered when my father hit me and yelled at me.

Recalling the moment, Noah shed tears.

Noah, who was not dealt with by anyone, often read books in the library.

I didn’t have to think about anything extra while reading the book.

Noah wasn’t taught to read or write letters.

However, I was able to do it immediately just by looking at the letters.

The ability to understand sentences was many times and tens of times better than ordinary people, and I was able to understand the contents of the book immediately.

Noah was crazy about reading a thick book that a five-year-old child wouldn’t read.

One day, Noah found a mysterious stone board in the garden.

Moss was growing on the stone board that made him feel the passage of time.

The stone board was engraved with letters that I had never seen.

Noah, who saw the letters on the stone board, stared at the stone board for a while.

“This character is very difficult”

Noah had an immediate understanding of any language, but he didn’t feel like he could understand this character at all.

After all, he couldn’t understand the letters on the stone board that day.

Then Noah would come in front of the stone board if he had the time to decipher it.

…… A month later, Noah finally deciphered the letters on the stone board.

“Replace the books in the library according to the street on the back …?”

When Noah looked at the back of the stone board, the letters of the same language were written there as well.

The replacement destination and the order of 20 books were written.

Noah made a note of it and actually swapped the books.

Then, the bookshelf in the library moved by itself, and a passage continued beyond that.

“wow……”

Noah muttered and went on.

Going forward, the bookshelf returned to its original position.

(I didn’t do anything …)

Noah wondered.

The passage became dark, but soon the magic stones embedded in the wall glowed pale.

(It’s somehow scary …)

Noah thought so, but his curiosity outweighed his fears.

As he went down the aisle, there was a wooden door.

On the door was written “Hidden Library” in the same language as the stone board.

Noah suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and then opened the door.

Upon entering the room, the unique smell of the book tickled Noah’s nasal passages.

When Noah entered, the room became brighter.

It was a natural white light, not the pale light at the passage.

There were 10 bookshelves in the room.

Noah knew this was an old place, but it was strange because there was no dust.

Noah picked up a book from the bookshelf.

The title of the book is “Introduction to Ancient Magic”.

Noah was already reading this language naturally.

And from this day, it became Noah’s daily routine to read the spellbook of the hidden library.
