Light, who came over in such a hurry, didn't rush out recklessly but hid aside. He seized the chance of the wink the bear was most likely to lose its guard to deliver a fatal strike via Sharingan.

Of course, it's the typical finishing move - Chidori.

And thanks to that, lighting was strong against earth, or it wouldn't be easy like now.

A monster of this magnitude, he had no certainty of victory in hand-to-hand combat even now. It's no doubt that he chose a sneak raid to handle this.

If it can be more accessible, why not?

Two girls who thought they would die at this rate but suddenly encountered this change, their brains were already unable to respond.

For a long while, Alice recovered from the surprise and profused in her acknowledgments that the man saved their life.

"Thank you so much! ..."

Luckily, it's still the language of the original world.

Light saw that the young girl hadn't replied to himself; he thought it may be due to the language barrier here. He finally felt relieved after hearing the familiar accent.

The girl who survived that just now recovered her usual self, sizing up the handsome boy in rags and maybe in the same age as her, she was puzzled.

The super-geniuses on the world in the age cohorts who surpassed her were not very common; all of them cultivated hard in the capital and never came to visit the edge city like Tangie. So ...

Who was this guy exactly?

The lighting magic that the guy cast was so powerful to break the defense of the Earth Bear, but why couldn't such a mage afford a basic magic robe?

Noticed the gaze from the opposite girl, Light said the words that he'd already prepared.

"Actually, I'm part of an ancient family that had retreated long ago. And now, I'm the only one left, so I have to come out to see the world."

Alice nodded thoughtfully; though the case like this was rare, she knew about it.

Some legendary families, who had become disillusioned with their country, had indeed deliberately gone into hiding in a place where no one else could find them.

The explanation, of course, actually wasn't that hard to come by that why such a powerful man would be dressed like a beggar.

At this point, Aika, who finally stopped crying, knelt down to Light and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much. Thank you for saving my young lady. I will do for you whatever you ask me to do."

The lovely maid's behavior shocked Light; he's not used to the acknowledgment like this.

Light waved firmly and said to her, "It's no need to me. You were doing really well, compared to your young lady."

Alice frowned a little at these words and raised her eyebrows, "You're great of course, but I didn't do too badly. Why do you judge me like this?" Originally, she was very fond of this man who saved her life.

Light jumped off the carcass of the bear, landed in front of Alice and shook his head, "Not that, what I meant wasn't the issue about your magic, I'm talking about the determination."

BTW, he knew nothing about the magical system of this world, so that he couldn't offer any valuable criticisms.

"Determination?" Alice questioned suspiciously, "What do you mean exactly?"

Light smiled, "Everyone, when handed with the issue, would do what he thinks is the right thing. However, there is a huge gulf between objectivity and subjectivity. Your maid was obviously doing the right thing, and you would both have died if I wasn't nearby."

Alice's face paled when she heard this, "So, you're telling me to abandon my family and run for my own life?"

Seeing this beautiful girl's attitude, Light smiled wryly and shook his head, "Sorry to disturb you, Miss."

At these words, he didn't wait for Alice to reply to him and turned over to leave.

Aika looked at the retreating handsome boy's figure with Misty eyes and asked, "Miss, aren't we being a little rude like this?"

Alice's strong pride kept her from catching up. She stared after the boy, lost in thought for a long time.

*********************

The first thing Light did was to learn about this different world; nothing was more important. All would be meaningless if he died suddenly, not to mention the desire that he found the road to home.

Thank god he found the way out from Death Forest; he met the others not long after that. After sort of understanding what the world was like, he began to figure out his next move.

It's on the earth definitely but in a totally different era. Here was more like the Middle Ages of the original world, whereas not exactly the same. There were no electronic devices; however, some magic products played the same role.

Like, there had a bulb-like lamp that could provide lighting without electricity. It worked via magic crystals. Ironically, the common thing in the previous life was the luxury here which belonged to the noblemen. At the same time, all the paupers deserved was candles.

When Light was fed up with the rolling eyes of people around him, he used transportation Jutsu to let himself looked like an ordinary person.

There were still many unknowns to him; he had to get on it.

Tangie City was built to resist the monsters of Death Forest; therefore, the stout, high walls were its typical sign. There was the most incredible city Light visited, even in his last lifetime, he had never seen such a grand edifice - average 50 meters tall and endless wide.

The buildings in the city gave him a more vintage vibe; there's no car but carriage on the street.

The best place where he could find information was heard from the warm heart civilian - the library in the Tangie High School. It's the biggest place where anyone could find all sorts of information in Tangie.

The new term would start soon, and hence, many freshmen assembled in front of the school gate.

Some assistants organized these noisy rookies into a line; every freshman could only be allowed to pass into the school after their hands put on the crystal ball on the table stably. There's usually some different color light flickering from inside the crystal ball, which was a little astonished to Light.

"Maybe another kind of testing equipment, I guess." He thought of it like that.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

An old man dressed all in white and with a long white beard sat on the chair next to the table. Only after his nod can students enter the campus.

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise went up from the crowd; light looked over there curiously.

Three different gorgeous, beautiful colors burst out from the crystal, like fireworks in the sky. Its glare blinded him practically.

Someone shouted, "Oh my godness, trimage! This guy has three magic elements!"

"Genius!"

"Amazing!"

All around was the sound of praise.

The old man said nothing, but he looked pleased and unsurprised. Perhaps that wasn't enough to shock him.

From the behaviors of surroundings, Light could deduce that more colors meant more power. The previous students were all single colors; very few of them were three like this.

But whatever had nothing to do with him now.

He looked over his surroundings and noticed the character style of the school's name was a bit of wired.

"Tangie ... High ... School."

He murmured to himself with the eyes fixed on the words above the gate. The text was very common, not different from a familiar name.

He'd been feeling that there was something strange about these words, but he's unable to say what was wrong. It's such a weird vibe.

Abruptly, a peculiar feeling broke out in his brain, and the Sharingan revealed automatically in his uncontrolled way.

"This feeling ... Genjutsu?"

Light inspected around the circumstances warily but saw no enemy. Eventually, he fixed his target on the characters above the gate.

"So strange! This degree of effect can be achieved simply through the residual consciousness left by the typeface. It must be the masterpiece of a master illusionist."

All civilians in Tangie knew that it's best not to stare at the characters above the school gate; otherwise, you would fall into a terrible hallucination. Light was new to the city and didn't understand the issues here. So, he fell into the illusion just now. But Sharingan had a solid ability to resist illusion; consequently, he's safe.

Sharingan disappeared after the crisis lifted, while a considerable part of Chakara was consumed by resisting the illusion.

Light gasped a bit on his hips, whatever it's ok if no enemy wanted to kill him.

"It seems nowhere is safe in the unknown world."

He let out a long-suffering sigh and then began to found a way into the school - the gate was blocked.

At this point, the old man, who had been silent for a long time, got up unexpectedly. This unexpected scene also aroused the curiosity of the freshmen.

"How did you manage to do that, boy?"

The ancient voice came from the elder who looked like a master.

Light realized that the opposite old man that kept the gate seemed to talk to him; he pretended to know nothing.

"What do you mean, sir?" This was how light answered the older.

Not religious enough disguise was like hiding in plain sight for old man, he smiled at Light and walked toward him.

"Take it easy, my son. I won't hurt you. And you're supposed to call me ...... professor."

Light felt no fierce aura from this kindly old-timer, and it's no reason for this old guy to kill him. It seemed the other detected his falsehood.

"My apologies, professor. But first in first I want to say - isn't this kind of stuff too dangerous to be in public?"

What Light didn't know that ordinary people couldn't be trapped in this illusion, and the mages who could be hooked wouldn't behave like him. The case that someone trapped in the illusion hasn't happened more than one hundred years.

As he finished words, the students behind the old man let out a hearty laugh. However, an expression of shock began to creep on the elder's face. He noticed the fact that the duration of the illusion was too short.

He just wanted to ask the boy the cause of the matter right now. Still, considering the behavior of that boy earlier, the elder decided to take a risk.

He raised his left hand and asked, "Look! Check it out, what's this?"

It's exactly nothing in the old man's hand; that's his way to interrupt opponents' attention for the sake of cast his illusion.

No matter how powerful Light's Sharingan was, he's still a rookie in this magical world and soon fell into the trap of the old man.

But the same case happened again.

The Sharingan revealed automatically in his uncontrolled way when he was about to lose himself.

The old man was startled to see the boy's eyes suddenly turn red, nay, was taking in the illusion he cast just now.

It turned out the Sharingan resisted the illusion. Not only that, but it rebounded the magic to the original caster.

It's not a strong illusion, just a trick for testing and figuring out the reason. Though only lost for a moment, the event itself was a big shock to the old man.

At the same time, all of the noisy freshmen fall silent, equally shocked.

They're naughty but not fools; no one failed to see that the mysterious boy put the headmaster on the intriguing spot.

"On the hand of proficiency on illusion, the headmaster seemed relatively lightly built."

"It's not like, it is!"

"Oh! Is he a freak?"

"My god! He seemed to be about our age!"

The gate, which had been quiet for a while, became buzzing at once.

"Quiet!"

The old man cried out; a booming voice held the floor instantly. Soon the chickens were silent again.

Light felt something became more explicit at the very moment; maybe Sharingan was protective for its owner. Like last time, Sharingan disappeared when it sensed no danger coming.

"What an amazing pair of eyes!"

The old man who's the headmaster was Alexander Tangie, a sole 8th-degree mage in Tangie City. He found the critical point just at a glance.

The illusion designed in the characters above the gate was the satisfied work of his father - a great legendary illusionist on the Atlantis Continent. Even he would have struggled to escape from that magic and could not have done it as quickly as this lad.

Alexander thought it was just a coincidence, and he gave a small test to this strange guy. He'd never expect this case was happening; it's the first time he was trapped in his own illusion.

How did this chap manage it?

"Wait ... "

The old man, who was often observant, noticed the dress on the boy, then pointed his clothes and whispered, "They're not real, right?"

Light didn't expect that old man could see right through him soon and had no idea to deal with issues skillfully like this.

Alexander observed the hesitation in the boy's eyes and smiled, "Take it easy! I apologize for the past rude and I swear I'll never do that to you again."

"How do you guarantee?" Light didn't lose his guard.

The old man raised his right hand to the sky and said, "I swear to Poseidon."

As soon as these words came out, a huge voice bomb blast out in the students and even the assistants.

In this series of behaviors, they were only surprised by the president's actions just now. But right now, they became crazy.

"Did I just hear our headmaster's word right? Poseidon?"

"Oh my god! I'm witnessing this historic moment."

"Does that mean if the headmaster hit that boy, he'll lose his all magic and mana?"

"Is the headmaster an enemy in disguise?"

......

The squabbling went on for verse after verse.

Light noticed how the situation changed, and then he explained why he was here.

"Actually, I just want to visit the library."

The old man was a little puzzled at this answer. It's not hard for a genius to consult the literature; maybe there's some exclusive information only in the school library. He guessed so.

"No problem at all, my door is always open for you."

The old man said, smiling happily and leading him to the gate.

While passing the crystal ball position, Light pointed it with the forefinger and asked, "What is this measuring?"

Alexander paused for a while and suspected that this genius just wanted to show off whatever. No psychics was unaware of what it is. The large most of the illusionists were unable to possess the magic elements. Of course, he's an exception. He's both the great illusionist and mage.

Perhaps this brat would be really something.

He pretended to introduce the functions of the crystal ball to him, "It can detect the magic element possessed by the mage when the subject's hand put on it."

Light nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "Interesting."

"That guy is playing dumb?"

"Maybe he only wants to show off in front of us."

Lots of whispers drilled into Light ears. Light guessed that it must be a misunderstanding about his behavior. In fact, he really knew nothing.

"Don't you want to have a try?"

Asked the old man suddenly behind him.

"No, thanks!"

He smiled and waved, "It may be hard for you to believe, but I really don't know anything. I didn't come here to brag, nor to provoke you. I'm from the ancient family that's very insular for many years, so I'm a stranger to this world. This's why I want to visit the library."

Alexander was a sophisticated psychic and knew much. The condition, like the boy, was not common, but he heard a little about it. And it made sense why this boy behaved.

He asked, "What's your name, my son?"

"Light."

"NO, I mean, your family name."

Light thought about it for a moment and answered, "Uchiha. I'm Light Uchiha."

The name was weird and new to Alexander, but it's not hard to guess. It's the ancient family, after all.

"Good name, boy."

Something occurred to him at once, and the old man asked instantly, "According to what you say, you don't still know what magical element you possess?"

Light shook his head, "Not quite. Fire and lighting, at least."

The old man's eyes almost popped out and yelled, "At least?"

"Yep." Light nodded calmly.

In this magic world, most psychics had a single special skill. The illusionists were usually not matched to mages' abilities unless the geniuses. Even so, the bipsychics had commonly one magical element, like Alexander.

It's not that such genius hadn't been before, but it had become part of the legend. And even among tripsychics and polypsychics, there were no more than two magical elements. If what this boy said was true, he was a genius among geniuses.

"Why not have a try? It's totally harmless to you." Alexander didn't notice that his voice was trembling with excitement.

"Ok, not bad." Light thought it's beneficial for him to cultivate in the future. There were lots of pieces of stuff he could prepare for in advance depending on his magical elements.

He put his hands softly on the crystal ball, and then, he made himself known to everyone in the city in three days.
