Graduation

### Chapter 4: Graduation

**Roxy's POV:**

It has been half a year since I became Rudy's tutor.

This child is exceptionally smart. Though he can be a bit lustful at times; his talent in magic is undeniable, one could even consider it terrifying.

I remember the president of the Magic University once said, "Magic can accomplish anything."

Though at that time, I felt that statement was exaggerated, watching Rudy grow day by day made me feel like it might not be entirely untrue.

Perhaps one day, Rudeus Greyrat will become a world-famous magician.

And I was merely the tutor who guided him in his youth, someone he'll eventually forget.

Or so I believed.

Until today when Rudy suddenly asked me, "Should I call you Master, Sensei?"

I subconsciously showed a look of reluctance. "No, you will eventually surpass me, so it's better not to call me that. You don't want to call someone weaker than you your master, right?"

Hearing my words, Rudeus immediately refuted, "I wouldn't be unwilling."

I thought, being called a master by someone better than me is embarrassing, isn't it? I hated it.

When I left Magic University, I said some very harsh words to the person I once called Master.

Looking back, it was indeed excessive, but that's truly how I felt.

At this moment, Rudy smiled and took my hand. "No matter what, Sensei Roxy will always be my sensei and the person I respect the most."

"It doesn't matter if Sensei gets jealous because of this."

"Because such a sensei is also very cute."

I was speechless for a moment.

When I came to my senses, my face was already hot, and I knew it was red without even looking.

Ah!

I quickly turned my head away to prevent Rudy from seeing my embarrassment.

"In short, a sensei-student relationship without real strength will only lead to unpleasantness!" I said stubbornly.

Rudy didn't refute me again but looked at me as gently as always.

I don't know why, but I felt intoxicated by it...

This child.

When he grows up, he will definitely marry many wives.

**Rudeus's POV:**

Shy Roxy is so cute.

Stubborn Roxy is so cute.

Roxy is so cute in her daily life.

Roxy is so cute while eating.

Anyway, Roxy is really cute.

Being able to stay with Roxy every day, even if I have to live a simple, normal life, I feel that there would be no regrets in this life.

Oh no, Rudeus. You can't think like this.

If you don't work hard, your happiness will be taken away by the Human God.

Just as I had done in the previous iteration, I am also learning sword fighting from Paul.

However, although Paul has strong talent for swordsmanship, he is terrible at teaching others.

He is a so-called kinesthetic, swinging the sword based on his feeling.

This is a nightmare for me, who has never mastered advanced swordsmanship in my entire life.

If only I could use battle aura...

I had this thought more than once.

But the key to me possessing terrifying magical power is the Laplace Factor, which also happens to be the cause of my inability to use battle aura.

Without the Laplace factor, my maximum magic power would be the same as Sylphy's.

But because of it, my total amount of magic power is probably... ten times that of Sylphy?

And this is only a rough estimate since apart from the time I used temporal magic, I almost never ran out of magic power in my previous life.

Even so, not having the talent to use battle aura is really tasteless.

But anyways, my lack of physical fitness can be compensated by the magic armor spell which I'll create in the future.

Coupled with rare magic such as gravity magic and lightning magic, I would not lose even when facing a god-ranked opponent.

Ah.

Except when facing the Dragon God.

That guy is too abnormal and cannot be considered an opponent at all.

-------

Before I knew it, I was five years old.

Time really flies quickly, and during the past few years, I cherished the time I spent with Roxy and tried my best to leave behind good memories.

And although it might sound selfish, I hope I can leave a deep impression in Roxy's mind.

I hope that she would fall in love with me naturally and not due to me saving her life in the labyrinth.

As the saying goes, if you love someone, you must ensure that they are happy.

But I'm not a patient person.

So if you love someone, you must make them happy in your own special way. This is what I want.

One day, when Roxy and Paul were discussing my future, I realized I was about to graduate.

I really want to slow down and not let Roxy leave.

But no matter what I think, before I meet the Dragon God, I must make history proceed along the established track without making any mistakes.

The red dragon's jaw.

That is the only place I know where the Dragon God will actually appear.

------

Roxy took me out of the yard, and we arrived in a completely untouched grassland area.

Here, she would show me the Water Saint-level magic, Cumulonimbus.

Among the countless magic spells I am proficient in, this is one of the spells in which I'm the most confident, because the lightning magic that I created was originally based on the cumulonimbus spell.

Therefore, I can declare without hesitation that no one in this world understands the cumulonimbus spell better than I do.

But I still looked at Roxy with pious eyes.

She stopped her horse in front of a solitary tree, dismounted, and tied the reins to the tree.

Then she carried me off the horse.

"Next, I will use the Water Saint-level attack magic Cumulonimbus, which is a magic that brings down heavy rain accompanied by lightning over a large area."

"Yes."

"Please imitate me and try to use it."

Then, Roxy showed me this magic.

Lightning roared and heavy rain poured down.

By the way, the horse we brought was also struck with lightning until it started smoking.

"Shit…"

Roxy ran to it with a green face and started to cast healing magic.

Looking at this, I couldn't help but smile.

The flustered Roxy is also very cute.

You are worthy of being my respected sensei and my beloved wife.

It seemed that she noticed my smile.

"Please keep this a secret, okay?" Roxy said, half-crying.

Ah!

No way!

Clumsy Roxy is also so cute!

I almost died due to her cuteness, but luckily, I held back because today was my graduation ceremony.

I want to leave a good impression on Roxy.

------

**Roxy's POV:**

Rudy successfully released the Water Saint-level magic, Cumulonimbus.

No, it wasn't just a successful release.

Using the residual magic power left after I cast the spell earlier, he created a tornado which carried the clouds upward, and created a storm which would not dissipate even after an hour.

Rather, it is quite troublesome to make it dissipate.

What kind of talent is this?

After Rudy finished his magic, I was soaking wet.

But I do not know why. Even though my student has indeed surpassed me, I don't feel the slightest jealousy in my heart. Instead, I smile.

"Congratulations, now you are a Water Saint-ranked magician."

I combed my wet bangs and congratulated him sincerely.

But soon I was stunned.

For some reason, Rudy began to cry.
