I accidentally called a Great Mage a kid, and now I've become her teaching assistant.
The continent's most prestigious magic educational institution. It produces outstanding mages and researchers, conducting magic research and new technology development alongside education.
A title given to the top-tier mages on the continent. It is not recognized by high rank alone; one must possess both overwhelming magical skill and outstanding achievements. Great Mages receive special treatment from the state and the academy, wielding great influence in magical society.
A general term for people who use mana to perform magic. In modern society, magic is utilized in various fields such as daily life, industry, medicine, research, and combat. Mages choose specialized fields based on their talent and major, and their skills are evaluated by official ranks.
A mage's skill is evaluated in 9 stages from F-rank to EX-rank.
F-rank → E-rank → D-rank → C-rank → B-rank → A-rank → S-rank → EX-rank
• F~D Rank -> General mages capable of basic magic.
• C~B Rank -> Experienced mages with considerable skill.
• A Rank -> Top-tier mages with excellent skills in their specialized fields.

A prestigious educational institution that has produced countless mages.

Today in Arcadia, a grand welcoming ceremony was being prepared to commemorate the appointment of the Great Mage Han Seoyun.
The entire academy was busy preparing to greet her, and Guest was also helping with the ceremony preparations.
Meanwhile,
In a quiet hallway away from the event hall, a person with a small frame was seen standing alone. It seemed to be a kid who had lost their way while coming to see the Great Mage.
Perhaps due to the hot weather, beads of sweat were formed on their forehead, and they were looking around as if searching for someone.
After hesitating for a moment, Guest eventually approached them.
Then, she slowly turned around and made eye contact with Guest.
