The flame still burned as I looked at the Princess who was now looking at me in fear. I simply smiled at her, which I probably shouldn't have done, as she soon also started to freak out and cry.
I couldn't hear over the bandits, but was she begging for her life? Oh man, I got myself into a mess….
The last of the bandits made their way out and I put the flame on my arm out as I turned to the Princess and squatted next to her.
"S-stay away from me!" She cried and begged.
"Calm down," I sighed heavily as I rubbed my forehead. "I'm not really the Demon King. Your parents did hire me and my friends to come save you." As if some form of magic, the 4 walked through the door just then.
"Kichi! What the hell was that? Did you cause an explosion or set something on fire?" Han looked around, worried.
"Hu-no, why?"
"We felt a massive heat wave when we were waiting out there and we saw a fire from the inside." Patora said. "We were worried after we saw the bandits running off."
"Oh, well I'm fine." I smiled. "And so is she, sort of." I looked at he cuts and bruises.
"Rubellia, can you heal her wounds?"
"Of course!" She ran over and began healing the Princess's wounds. The entire time the Princess kept looking at me.
"If it wasn't an explosion, what was that?" Sora asked.
"Oh, a little trick of m-"
"Wait, Kichichi," Han started. "Your class, it changed."
Oh yeah, I forgot they could see my health and class in the HUD.
"Y-you're a mage too?" Rubellia looked from where she was, healing the Princess.
"Yeah," I scratched the back of my head. "I guess I am?" It sounded more like a question.
"That's…pretty sick," Han laughed. "You focus on attack magic? It would suck if we had another support mage."
"Support mage? Wait, you're a support mage?" I asked, looking over at Rubellia.
"Y-yeah…I-is that bad?" She looked like she was about to cry. Damn I really need to change my tone. They always get the wrong idea.
"No, it's pretty cool. I didn't know there were other roles as a mage. I guess thinking about it you are good at support though. Healing and buffing."
"Thank you!" She smiled brightly.
"But to answer the question, no. I'm not a support mage." At least I don't think I am?
"He's not a mage." The Princess spoke softly.
Oh no…is she going to call me the Demon King too?!
"Based of the power I just witnessed, he has to be on the level, if not higher, than an Arch Mage."
""""WHAT!"""" The four said in sync.
"An Arch Mage," Sora looked at me. "Kichirou-"
"Do you have any idea what that means?" Rubellia picked up.
"Uh…no." I answered.
"There are only 3 Arch Mages in the world due to the amount of focus and training they have to do for years on end. And you're telling me you make a fourth?!" Han grabbed my shoulders. "That's so cool dude!"
Er….is it? If there are only 3 of them and they train for years on end, wouldn't me, a 17-year-old boy, be fuel for some…social fire to burn? A kid as an Arch Mage. I'm sure that'll cause some superstition. Damn, why can't I ever just get a break?
"Can we…." Rubellia hesitated.
"Can you what?" I asked.
"Look at your adventurers' card? We've always wanted to see what the stats of an Arch Mage were."
"Oh, yeah. I guess." I reached into a pocket and handed it to them, though not before looking for myself.

I know my class is Arch Mage, but holy hell! I didn't expect to have six-thousand points in magic! Should I really show them this? Well, they asked, so I guess I have to, seeing as how I already said yes.
"Here you go," I said dumbfounded at the thoughts of my stats. Sora grabbed it and pulled it close to read it while the others looked over her shoulder to see it. Their jaws dropped as they looked at me.
"Kichi, six-thousand points in magic?" Sora spoke in disbelief.
"That's crazy dude," Han crossed his arms. "Really crazy."
"Y-your magic power is…." Patoras ears dropped down. "So…strong now."
"Kichi, were you hiding this power the entire time?" Rubellia asked.
"N-no," I shook my hands. "I just…switched classes is all."
"You…switched classes? Oh, so this is just part of your class change thing."
"No, Han," I sighed. "When I used my class to change to a mage, I was offered to stay a mage, so I took it." I shrugged.
"You were offered?" Sora tiled her head, along with everyone else who had confused looks on their faces.
"Long story," I waved my hand in dismissal. "Let's just get the Princess back home, yeah?"
"Yeah, okay," everyone went and turned their attention to the Princess, checking in her, making sure she was fine both physically and mentally.
I, on the other hand, was staring at the message that's been in my HUD.
Special Bonus
As an Arch Mage who has studied the mystics for generations, you have an adapt knowledge in spells. You now have access to all Magic's in the land. Forbidden, and forgotten.
If I'm understanding this right, I now know all magic? That's…so broken!
"I told you, the magic was in my blood." The voice echoed in my mind before going silent. I didn't even bother asking who it was, as I could tell it was done speaking. I just to have to hope that whatever the voice is won't kill me.
I looked at my magic menu and was appalled at all the skills I saw. All the spells. Elemental magic, like fire, ice, electricity, wind, earth, and so on. As well as Magic's such as illusions, support, and anything else you could think of.
Holy crap!
I used the skill points I had saved up to unlock as much as I could and level them up as much as I could. I ended up left with 12 skills points left of the 400 plus I had saved, but had unlocked and levels up everything as far is it could go.
Along with all the magic I unlocked came space magic. And there was one skill upon many thy caught my eye. Teleportation.
Skill name: Teleportation
Description: Fold space and time to create a wormhole that leads to a place you have been before.
Requirements to use: You must have been in that space in time at least once in order to teleport to the location.
So, I can teleport anywhere I've been before? That's…pretty broke. That's literally just fast travel without the hellish loading screens.
"So, we best get you back to the capital, back home." Sora smiled softly at the Princess who smiled back with a smile full of kindness and thanks.
"It's about an hour walk, should we let her rest?" Rubellia asked.
"Not necessary," I said as I walked in the middle of them. I raised my hand at the wall and focused my thoughts. The Throne Room. A black portal opened in front of me.
"What is that?" Han asked as he looked over my shoulder.
"A portal that leads to the Throne Room."
"Why'd you say that like it was no big deal?" Sora crossed her arms.
"You know space magic?" Rubellia gasped.
"How?" The Princess asked. "How did you do this?"
"I'm just different," I shrugged. "It's not anything to gasp at. It's just magic." Like hell! I'm excited!
