Mikarin scrutinized Nivel and raised a question of his own, "No matter how I see it, something doesn't add up. How does a 12-year-old child suddenly gain an understanding of the world when faced with the prospect of being killed by a girl and becomes a Rank 1 Magician in just eight years? It's nothing short of legendary."
Nivel responded with a smile, acknowledging Mikarin's observation. "Indeed, you are right about that. Just when I was about to face death, I recalled my family, prompting the question: What have I done for them, for my friends, parents, and the people I cherish? I am just a weak guy, so that day, I resolved myself that if I ever get to live, I would never be the same and try my hardest to become a better person rather than living leisurely."
Mikarin smiled in understanding and remarked, "So, you were almost killed by the female magician whom you harassed eight years ago."
"Ah," Nivel uttered.
