The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 5.1

ー Thousands of years in the past ー

“Missy, appraise this individual.”

Present: Mergin, also known as Shinada Ginjiro, was summoned to the Kingdom of Aristoria at the age of 14 to defeat the Demon King.

Since he was summoned naked, he was immediately given a coat-like garment, and then the wizard Misty performed an appraisal.

“Your Majesty, this person has exceptionally high magical power. He could potentially become a sage… no, a great sage…”

Misty reported regretfully to the king. Ginjiro did not fully understand what was happening.

“Oh, that’s wonderful. Maverick, you must train further and surely succeed in defeating the Demon King.”

The king instructed his son, Prince Maverick.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We will certainly defeat the Demon King.”

Subsequently, due to his high magical power, Misty, the wizard, became Ginjiro’s mentor, and he began training towards defeating the Demon King.

“What’s your name?”

Frowning, Misty asked Ginjiro.

“Um… where am I…?”

“You have been summoned to the Kingdom of Aristoria. Speak your name first.”

Misty stared at Ginjiro and asked for his name.

“Shinada Ginjiro.”

“Shinada Ginjiro? That’s a long name.”

“Shinada is my surname; Ginjiro is my given name.”

“What is a surname?”

“It’s like a family name, I guess?”

“A family name. Are you a noble?”

“Noble? No, no. Just an ordinary family. Doesn’t everyone have a surname?”

“I see. So in your world, everyone has a family name?”

“Yeah, well, I mean, doesn’t everyone?”

“I suppose so. Did I really get summoned to another world?”

“I did say so earlier. But let me tell you, it’s impossible to return to your original world.”

“Well, are there magic and stuff?”

Misty imagined that the summoned person would be more flustered, but the child in front of her seemed strangely excited.

“Why are you so excited?”

“Well, you know, being summoned to another world. I can’t believe something like this actually happened to me. Another world is where you fight monsters with swords and magic, right?”

“Well, you’re not entirely wrong…”

“So, am I from another world? Are there any summoning bonuses or gifts, like being a swordsmaster or casting magic without chanting… Oh, earlier you called me a great sage, right?”

Ginjiro jumped up in excitement. And…

“Status Open!”

Ginjiro suddenly exclaimed.

“Why are you saying things that don’t make sense…”

“Oh, there it is, there it is. My magical power is around 4000. Is that a lot?”

“What… can you see your own magical power?”
