Chapter 36 Blue Haired Apprentice Magician p2

When Akio heard the explanation, Leyla had given himself about the Blue-haired girl's history and her reason for being here. Still, due to his now bit skeptical attitude towards both Marcus and Leyla due to the conversations he had heard earlier, Alibaba believed that most probably, the blue-haired girl's history was probably fake.

But with his third eye, Alibaba figured out that what Leyla did say about the girl's lack of experience concerning the control of her magic, as well as her large amount of magoi, that was present in her currently locked magoi core, similar to his magic core three years ago. It was indeed true and not something that the Blue-haired girl faked, but it was a true lack of budding magician experience. As even without his third eye, Alibaba saw that the little girl's staff's handling was yet to be properly handled, along with the not yet stable casting position the girl had when she accidentally cast that Aqua Beam earlier. Which among magicians was a clear sign of being an amateur.

As Alibaba contemplated in his mind what to do with the blue-haired girl who is likely to be someone from both Marcus and Leyla's original faction, or at the very least someone of importance for their original organization.

But with all the words he heard from Marcus earlier, it seems that Marcus seemed to think that the girl was only a burden in their mission herein Balbadd. And he even seemed to be annoyed of her, but I guess now that I found out that Leyla was just a kid when she arrived here, I guess I would understand Marcus's annoyance in taking care of another kid after already taking care of Leyla this last three years.

So in that respect, there is no way for a subordinate to show their discontent with a person openly they think is an important position. Which left the only possible conclusion to Alibaba, which was that due to the girl's obvious Naiveness/ Innocence, he thought that the girl was someone inside Marcus's and Irene's organization who is either a recruit for the organization or someone that doesn't know what their organization is really like yet, and had merely thought for Asking help in Magic Lessons to one of their senior members, which is Leyla/Marcus.

So after thinking of all the cons and pros of the condition he was in the right now and what to do with the little girl that was brought along with Leyla and Marcus, along with a plan to make use of the girl that would benefit him the most, Alibaba then finally said to Leyla who had been waiting for Alibaba for quite a while now as she saw that like always once Alibaba thinks of something intriguing or interesting, he would often stop all of his previous actions and stay still for a while.

[Alibaba] " Alright, I guess I understand your situation, Leyla, about that girl, but as you know, according to Father, even if you are related to her since she is an outsider who has no connection with Balbadd whatsoever compared to you guys who was hired personally by the Royal Palace to become a court mages. She is not allowed to stay or enter the royal palace u less she is permitted by my father, or she works in the Royal Palace, which would let her be qualified to live in the Royal Dormitories near the Royal Palace where you guys also live in."

When both Marcus and Leyla heard Alibaba's world, they did remember that the Royal Palace indeed had that rule, so they realized this problem beforehand, using the gist of a paid apprenticeships.

However, as Leyla was about to say this to Alibaba, she became surprised after hearing his words.

[Alibaba] " But according to what I see, that girl's is about 12-years old right being 6 years older than. Myself. So how about this Leyla and Marcus-san, If I help you convince father in letting her enter the castle whenever she wants, but in exchange for that hoe about in the time she will be learning here from you, can you let me practice my magic and magic tools we have developed since except for Cassim and Miriam there is rarely any other kids in the palace so for once in a while, I want to practice with someone near my age range especially with someone with magic as, in the palace except for the lower tier magicians in the army, no one else can. Use magic in the palace aside from us, which only lets me spar with you guys sometimes since you're too busy with other work Court Mages do, aside from helping me in my magic studies and certain lessons, which I will probably finish soon."

When Leyla and Marcus heard Alibaba's words, they were immediately surprised as they already knew his attitude very well throughout their time with Alibaba. Hence, they became surprised when they heard Alibaba's words surprisingly, due to Alibaba's common attitude of mainly just studying and researching magic, as well as being an avid reader of various books, but also being calm, prudent, and being smart since he was just a year old, was also remarkably wise for his age although acting too much like a child when he discovers something new and exciting.

With this initial impression, of course, both Marcus and Leyla thought that Alibaba would be the loner type of guy. So when they heard from Alibaba's own mouth that he wanted to befriend someone new, that was near his age and seemingly wanting a magic sparring partner other than Leyla and Marcus. Both Leyla and Marcus were surprised. And although they didn't want to admit it due to their positions as both spies and court magician of the palace, other than the time spent with researching magic tools and for Marcus teaching Alibaba the basics of magic, although he soon found out that through this time, Alibaba was holding back and already knew the basic control in all magic, and Alibaba only needed, as well as all the other academic lectures, that was already in the level of a Scholar in difficulty.

[Leyla]" Wait a minute, your Highness third prince, are you sure you're willing to do that? Although We are always busy, we can always spare some time to spar with you, your highness, and as you can see, this girl will become a slight problem due to her pretty bad control of her magic currently. Although I assure your highness that, although she has bad control over magic, she still has proper manners and has base knowledge in academics and such."

[Alibaba]" Yes, I am, and as your Prince doesn't question me again. Her lack of control of magic should actually be a pretty interesting way to help in my own training. With some few tricks and techniques, maybe you don't even have to teach her anymore and just let me handle teaching her since, as you already know, I am already good enough to at least teach her the basic greatly, and by the way, what is that girl's name by the way?"

As Leyla and Marcus both agreed to Alibaba's words of being qualified to teach the girl despite being six years younger, due to them seeing Alibaba's talent this three years, with his swift growth in managing to learn all 8 core magic to mid-tier in just three years, despite all the time Alibaba used to also help King Rashid in political manners, manufacturing various goods that Prince Sabhmad's selling in the company and lastly coordinating with the Palace's magic tool research department and Technology department in inventing/ improving technologies.

Then the blue-haired girl who was silent the whole time Leyla and Alibaba were talking to each other. Then spoke up while bowing towards Alibaba's direction.

[Yamraiha.]" Uhhh, Third Prince, I'm sorry for the earlier spell that I almost hit you with, and Third Prince, per your question, I am Yamraiha, the apprentice sent here by my grandfather to study under Leyla-sama.

And in the future, that day was known to be the day when one of the greatest magicians in the Balbadd was born. "The Aqua Witch Yamraiha."
