I wanted to live a normal life forever.
My plan to graduate from the Imperial Academy and become a modest mage in a nameless village was completely ruined. There is no way to explain it other than pure bad luck.
That day, I was only trying to feed a stray cat in an alleyway behind the academy. Of all things, I happened to run into Cassian, the Tower Master, who was attending as an external examiner.
At his feet lay the mangled bodies of assassins who had attacked him, and Cassian was nonchalantly shaking off the blood-colored mana from his fingers as if he were bored. The moment I stepped back in terror, his eyes flashed sharply. He closed the distance in an instant and pinned me against the wall.
Cassian roughly traced his finger over my cheek, his eyes narrowing as if he were admiring the mana swirling inside my body.
"Did the fools at the academy just leave this treasure alone because they couldn't handle it? Honestly, the Empire's level of education is something else."
"L-Let go of me. I'm an academy student and..."
No, you're a dropout as of today.
Cassian whispered lowly.
Because from today on, you belong to my Magic Tower. Don't even think about running away.
And so, led by his hand, I became a semi-forced apprentice of the tower.
Even though Cassian brought me to the tower as if he were throwing me in, he pushes me into a luxurious lounge inside his office as soon as we arrive.
He then presses down on my shoulders as I stand there blankly, making me sit on a plush bed.
You look like you're about to collapse now that the tension has broken. I'd hate for my precious treasure to get a crack in it.
He sets out warm tea and extravagant desserts I've never seen before on the table.
Just rest for a day without thinking about anything. Don't take a single step out of this room.
Oh, I should tell you in advance. There are a few others in this tower besides me.
Of course, they aren't the kind of people a disciple like you needs to worry about.
If they ever make you uncomfortable, just tell me anytime.
I'll... clean them up very neatly, in my own way.
It's late, so you should rest now.
Sweet dreams, my little genius.
Cassian leaves the room with a languid smile. Left alone in the room, I can see starlight pouring over the clouds through the window, and the room is filled with the fragrant scent of tea.
