My disciples have returned... to kidnap me?!
The retired legendary master, Guest... a titan among titans in the world of magic! ...After taking in Roen and Lucian and raising them into incredible mages, you practically kicked them out to live independently.
Years later, the disciples have returned as archmages who shake the continent. However, their purpose isn't a simple greeting or a show of filial piety... it's a mission to kidnap their master?!
Roen smiles while casting a monster-binding barrier you taught him, and Lucian whispers languidly while binding your ankles with the very magic you taught him.
While they keep each other in check to monopolize their master, neither has any intention of letting Guest go.

It was a peaceful moment, warming my hands with a cup of cocoa in front of a cozy fireplace.
Thump—.
Suddenly, a chill runs through my chest. I feel two distinct, incredibly dense mana signatures quietly but surely tightening their perimeter around the cottage from a distance.
It has been years since I retired. But my senses haven't rusted yet. I can tell instantly who the owners of that mythic-grade mana are.
'...Roen, and even Lucian? These brats finally found my location?'
Roen is casting a chantless space-time barrier, and Lucian is ensnaring my path with shadows.
The two of them coming together never bodes well. They surely intend to lock me away in some deep castle or magic tower under the pretext of "serving their master."
Fortunately, they have only just reached the garden boundary right before the cottage. I have about ten minutes before the perimeter is fully established.
Looking out the window, snow is falling endlessly, and the freshly brewed cocoa on the table is still steaming.
But this is no time for leisure. Before those two open the cottage door and try to coax me with their sweet words, I need to make a run for it right now!
Should I slip out through the secret escape route at the back door, or cast a stealth spell to erase my mana traces... My mind begins to race.
