Curse that man named Renny! I wouldn't have gotten into this mess if I didn't show him any magic in the first place!

Well, it's good to know that I can use magic though, so I should probably thank him for that.

It seems that the nation I'm in is called 'Strauk'. At the far east of their capital city, where I'm currently in, Toqian troops were settled 48 hours after the declaration of war that I haven't heard of back at the orphanage.

...As I was still a 6 year old, the only thing I'd meet at the battlefield was death, so I was assigned to study magic and other necessary fields to immediately throw myself into battle.

Due to the undeveloped technology of this world and my modern knowledge however, I managed to pass without difficulties despite having no experience in these kinds of things.

...I was put on a stage as a young prodigy and it didn't take long for me to get sent into the front lines.

"Grrr..!!" I grit my teeth as I waited inside one of the aircrafts flying over an enemy artillery line. The Straukan commanders gave me a mission to cut off Toqian communications, which they said was 'relatively easy' once I knew how to cast fireballs.

Surprisingly, magic is not that difficult to handle even during times like these.

For offensive spells, I just take one of the military-grade magical incendiary shells and put it on the device the weapon designers attached on my arm. I then fire the shell at 10,000km/h, aimed towards the targets my allies pointed at.

*Boom!*

That almost missed..! But I managed to destroy the target anyways...

As expected, there was a strict limit to what I can do. At the age of 6, I can only crush a platoon and maybe some artilleries at the same time. The Straukans didn't care much though, as they simply ordered me to fire again, causing me to lose consciousness with the 2nd target destroyed.

...A few hours after that, I found myself inside a hospital at the capital city that I just left.

"Hey! Hey, you awake?"

"Mrrr..?" I slowly opened my eyes to see an officer standing next to my bed.

"Ah!" I yelped in surprise.

"No need to be so tense, Meyraqyrofy. I'm 2nd lieutenant Eiwel, it's a honour to meet you." He proclaimed.

"Ah..! And my name is Meyraqyrofy! What might you be doing here, Lieutenant?"

"...After your brilliant showcase of power, a ton of people were impressed." He states, whilst opening the window and taking out a cigarette. "We sent you here to rest for a while. Don't think too bad of us, as we simply wanted to see how much Toqian forces you could des- I mean; we only wished to see what a prodigy like you could contribute to this war before we can finally put you into a proper field."

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

I feel like he was about to show his hatred for our neighbors there... But anyways, this will be great! If they know I'd faint from just taking out 2 targets, then there's no way they'd send me back to the front lines!

"Great! So-"

"So we've evaluated your abilities and decided that you'd be fit for covert operations." He blows the smoke out the window, then turns to me with a grin. "Congratulations, Meyraqyrofy. You're now in the Magical Special Task Force unit 5." He claps.

"Eh..? So... What am I gonna do there?"

"Let me say this in a way that you can understand; basically, we're going to send you out into the undergrounds and the backgrounds of wars and give you a mission to infiltrate and/or destroy enemy nations from within."

What??! My my. If I knew that this would happen, I'd never have joined the military in the first place!

"Heh. Sorry, Lieutenant, but my entire lower half is paralyzed. Would you be so kind as to inform the higher ups that I'm going to retire and head into the mountains to rebuild my body using magic for 20 years now?" I lied.

"Nope. We've already examined your body thoroughly and there weren't any injuries as far as the best doctors of this city know."

*Thud!*

I slam the table beside me and stood up from the bed. Eiwel looks down at me from his chair, still smoking his cigarette.

"Not to worry, Sergeant Meyraqyrofy, your missions will be simple. Either you have to make rumors and destroy enemy morale, or assassinate the king in his sleep. They won't require anything troublesome, I promise you."

"I retire."

"You may be a child, but someone with your abilities will be needed or else millions will die. You know that, right, Sergeant?"

"Well, personally, I don't give a shit about those people. I only wanna know how to get back to earth. Do you know, Lieutenant?"

Unexpectedly, he gives me a new lead to getting back home.

"...Of course..! Is it something like travelling between worlds? I can tell you how to do such thing, but I'm afraid that it's not something you could do right now. Though, I could give you a reward akin to what you wanted." He then turns back to the window. "Say, what is more important? Millions and millions of human lives, or one psychopath's life..?"

I don't think I am psychopath, but it must be what people think of me... Though, I do consider myself important. "Easy, I'd choose myself."

"As expected. But for me and the millions, we'd choose otherwise. So if you don't take the position given to you, let's just say that you may never find a way back to that place you mentioned."

While I may be strong, I doubt I could defeat an entire nation, and even if they don't come after me, I don't think going around looking for another clue would be quick too... So for the sake of getting back home to watch videos on the internet as soon as possible, I'll cooperate for a bit!

"F-fine... But I'll only work with you guys until you give me a way back home, alright!?"

"That's good enough. We'll give you what we can once this war is over. Unlike the last couple wars Strauk has been in, this one particular war will be extremely decisive so I care not what you will do after this, as long as we destroy those Toqians."

So it's only after the war, huh?

I'd prefer if they gave me information on how to get back home now, but my new job sounds relatively easy... Perhaps there might be some twist to it, considering my magical abilities? There's no way they'd just send me out to spread hate and discouraging words on the enemy's place when I can do a crap ton of damage with just 2 moves.

Well, whatever! I'll just do what they told me to do then! If Strauk falls then I'll just search through their remains and find the answer myself!

Though, I do wonder if Eiwel's reward is actually a way for me to get back home, or if it's just something else close to it...
