He was fortunate that he had good parents.

Shirone shook his head side to side.

Its not that simple! altitude How can you keep your job a secret? amber Its crazy no matter how much I think about it! harbor I will take responsibility for the refusal!

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

What was more shocking, however, were the tears falling from Shirones eyes.

Vincent abruptly stopped, looking dazed at the sudden way Shirone addressed him for the first time.

Father.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Thank you.

Said Shirone, who opened his arms while having a big smile on his face.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Will this house be a little more luxurious when I come back?

Temuran decided to give 20 gold a month on the condition that Shirone would live with him. adjust In comparison, the monthly income of Shirones family was only four gold, so it was a huge increase for a hunter family.

It was a project that would take more than two years, but Shirone, who lived a simple life, only packed one bag.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The butlers proceeded with the contract in a hurry, and a distracted Vincent had to send his son away in the carriage without a proper farewell.

Contrary to his worries, Shirones mind was calm.

He knew what his parents were like, but Shirone tried to imagine something happy and shook off his sorrow.

Its just the beginning!

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Dont worry!

Entering the Spirit Zone, Shirone felt his anxious parents through synesthesia.

He didnt show his parents, but he had decided that from now on, he would only make calculated, logical decisions that were not dependent on emotions.

Shirone

In that instance, Vincent and Olinas hearts suddenly warmed.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Lets go!

It was just that their sons feelings were conveyed.

It wasnt magic.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Lets not get shaken up! autumn Have to stay focused!

Could he survive two years while living amongst the rich and powerful?

The moment the carriage rattled, Shirone bounced out from the Spirit Zone, but his closed eyes did not open.

While entering the Ogent family was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it also came with huge risks. arcade The opportunity was a double-edged sword.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Leaving himself to an unknown future, Shirone plunged back into the Spirit Zone.

I have to concentrate!

The Ogent family was a household that produced nation-approved Grade 3 swordsmen, which in the military corresponded to the rank of General.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Upon their arrival, Shirone, while listening to a butlers explanation, looked at the main gate of the Ogent family.

Wow!

Watch your words. auction You want your head to fly?

Hehe, are you scared? arcade Youre not already surprised, are you? alien Theyre the real deal.

An old male servant snapped.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The Broad Way was not a road for butlers or servants.

Shirone turned to the garden path next to the road and bypassed the mansion.

Come this way.

However, due to the fact that he could relate to some extent, the butler said no more.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Yes. autumn Ill do my best.

Temuran, who did not even receive a greeting, headed to the library with thick documents.

The place where the male workers were situated was a four-story, circular building. voyage And in the office of said building was where the deputy butler, Temuran, resided.

Youre here? arena Follow me, Ill explain the work.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

A world of books.

Whoa

On the second, third, and fourth floor, all he could see were bookshelves filled with books.

As soon as the old iron gate was opened, a scenery that Shirone dreamed of unfolded.

Smelling the rich scent of paper, Shirone clenched his fist.

It was worth risking his life.

Yes. atlas When do I start?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The next day, Shirone went to the library to get to work.

The list given by Temuran contained hundreds of titles, and among those, the classification criteria was subjective.

When he started working, he finally realized why only one person had to do this job.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Since history was comprehensive and swordsmanship was technical, the History of Swordsmanship was classified as a book under the swordsmanship category.

Mr. album Temuran has set the framework anyway. antique As long as it doesnt go far off from the criteria I set!

Shirone had set his order of priorities.

For example, it was unclear whether the book History of Swordsmanship should be classified as a history book or a book for swordsmanship.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

It took as much as two weeks to set his own criteria in this way.

This was because in the process of establishing his own category system, Shirone had realized a fact that he had not known before.

Of course, even this kind of work was beneficial.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Im going to start reading now!

The work gradually became easier, and soon afterwards, he was able to reach the targeted quantity each day in time.

All knowledge was connected.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Even with the approximate two years left, it was impossible to read all the books.

Okay, there are 10,000 books in front of me.

He wanted to use his time efficiently as all the knowledge here would become a huge weapon for him in the near future.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Right!

All knowledge is connected, so as long as you dig into one field first, youll be able to strengthen another later.

Suddenly, a thought came to mind.

Where should I start? athlete Would it be best to just start off with a random book?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

After repeatedly thinking over it, the corner of Shirones mouth went up.

History.

Then which field should I study first?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

If zoomed in, the line would contain all human knowledge, including religion, science, magic, mythology, literature, arts, politics, war, and economy.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

According to his self-written classification list, there were approximately 850 books.

Shirone made up his mind.

Reading history books was a pain in the neck for Shirone.

Its difficult!

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The specific names of places on the continent, famous figures, and the events that occurred could not be easily memorized by a boy who grew up in a mountain for 15 years without ever hearing about them.

Shirone shook his head. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Should I just memorize the whole thing?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

It wasnt easy understanding history.

While its important to memorize it, its more important to be able to pull it out of my mind anytime. aluminum Understanding even a single event is the quickest way to building a proper foundation!

This was because he had to identify in depth why such an incident was inevitable and how it had affected the future.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The iron gate opened and Temuran with a crystal lamp came in.

Four in the morning.

Efficiency had dropped significantly and it had reached a point where Shirone couldnt finish a book even after a week.

Naturally, the days he slept in the library became more frequent, and he would, at times, collapse as if he were about to faint.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Its the same!

His eyes turned to the book at Shirones feet.

Temuran would come in at this time every day to check on Shirone, who was oblivious to this fact.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Even though it was not a difficult one to read, the book had not changed for the past 15 days.

If Shirone was furiously mastering those practical books, he was going to ban him from accessing the library aside from working hours.

Temuran snorted.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

While you have to be smart to get ahead in terms of studies, you also have to be clever and know how to think intelligently.

Of course. action Being a child of lowly commoners, what kind of success could you have?

But it was complete nonsense. arcade He was a fool who dreamed an absurd dream.

Temuran, who only thought of Shirone as a child with a nonsensical, grand dream, thought he was far from promising.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

The most shocking fact of all was that the nobles didnt care if the books were leaked.

In any case, the busy nobles who already had a lot on their plates were not interested in whether or not a few books were to disappear.

Three months later.

Shirone gradually got more used to the classifying job. adjust He also learned several pieces of information through the male servants.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

An aristocrat could only have a laid-back attitude if he had the loyalty of the commoners.

Servants, to prevent even the tiniest of mistakes, could become cold and heartless.

But that did not indicate less danger.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Commoners had to risk their lives in order to not catch the attention of the nobles.

Then one afternoon, the library door opened and he heard an unfamiliar boys voice.

Haah That old man. wizard On a day like this, who cares if I rest a bit.

Shirone blinked as an uninvited guest had made a sudden appearance.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

It was Rian Ogent, the youngest son of the Lord.

Shirone’s train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a shout coming from outside the library. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Having the blood of a mighty knight, he had a masculine, rugged face, and even though they were the same age, he was a head taller than Shirone.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Rian, who was running between the bookshelves, finally found Shirone.

Rian! zenith How dare you run away! acid Once I catch you, youll be made to run another hundred laps!

Rian, who was running towards Shirone, grabbed Shirones shoulders suddenly and said.

Argh! arrow Damn it!

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Rian! attic I know youre hiding here!

Then, whilst he hid himself under the bookshelf, an old mans thunderous roar shook the library.

Hey! ability Dont tell him Im here, okay?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Shirone thought about it.

You! zenith A boy as tall as a peanut with blue hair came in here, right?

He did know the blue-haired boy, but if the blue-haired boy was the size of a peanut, what did he look like in the eyes of this old man?

Although he was a gray-haired old man, his shoulders were wide. zenith He was also tall enough to remind Shirone of a giant.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Shirone intended to change the subject, but the veteran saw through the boys mind.

From what I saw, he looked like the youngest young master. meadow But excuse me, who are you?

Shirone pursed his lips.

Im a swordsman instructor! matrix Im saying that Im the teacher who has the right to beat up that peanut. alpha Youd better tell me quickly, unless you wanna get beat up.

Oh, I see. acid The youngest young master is hiding under that bookshelf over there.

Hey! matrix Are you crazy? adapt You wanna die?

Anyone who taught the young master under the orders of the Lord was not a person who could get fooled by the words of a boy.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Master! arcade This is a misunderstanding!

Rian crawled out with a frown.

Then, he discovered his swordsman instructor, who came up close to him. adapt He started to tremble in fear.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

Rian hit the floor with a loud noise, as his limbs were spread out on the ground due to the shock.

As soon as Rians body fell, Shirone closed his eyes.

You rascal!

The swordsman grabbed Rian by the collar and threw him to the ground.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 6: An Opportunity Worth More Than Life (2) by Indra Translations.

And mouthed something.

His instructor dragged him out with his legs. arcade With an upside down view, Rian faced Shirone.

Even though no voice was heard, and only the shape of the mouth was passed on, Shirone heard it clearly.

Follow me, you punk! action Forget training! palette You need to be mentally trained again!
