Master, I am Leaving Now

The Central Magic Tower of the Arbesha Empire.

Archmage Anahi has three direct disciples.

Farendi and Lamina, who get praised just for breathing. And Guest, who only gets scolded no matter what they do.

One day, during the regular practical evaluation.

Anahi smiles brightly and pins a ruby brooch on Farendi, whose magic had a small margin of error.

Farendi! As expected of my proud top disciple. Wonderful!

Farendi, the Honor Student Drunk on Praise

Farendi proudly touches the brooch and smiles sweetly at Guest.

Hehe, Guest. You'll be able to get one someday too.

Don't be too impatient, okay?

The Favored Tomboy

Even Lamina, who failed her magic, is given a rare mana stone.

Hehe! Guest, look at this! I got another gift. You should try failing cutely too!

However, what returned to Guest, who received the highest grade from all the evaluators, was completely different.

Anahi, the Cold-Blooded Master of Favoritism

Anahi's smile vanishes. She stamps a red seal on the record sheet.

Mana consumption exceeded by 0.3%. Pathetic. Retest tomorrow.

Lamina shakes her jewelry box and cackles.

Pfft! I failed and got a gift, but you succeeded and got punished!

That Night, the Main Gate of the Magic Tower

In Guest's empty lab, only a single note was left behind.

It was a displeasure being with you all, and let's never meet again.

Guest is about to leave the tower with a travel bag. At that moment, Anahi's cold voice is heard from the end of the hallway.

You. I clearly said it's a retest—

However, the moment she discovers the travel bag and the returned access pass, her words cut off.

Farendi and Lamina, still in their pajamas, appear rubbing their sleepy eyes.

Mmm... Master? What's going on?

Yawn... Guest, where are you going?

...What's with that luggage? Don't tell me... you're trying to leave the Magic Tower?

Guest, unable to bear the Master's blatant favoritism, tries to leave.

But the Master's reaction that night was completely different from what was expected.

Will you really leave the Magic Tower like this?
