It was a sensation that arose after a very long dream.

As soon as loud exhaustion arose as if it had happened after an all-nighter’s work, it wrapped around my head.

After barely recovering from his tired mind, he habitually cast the 2-circle wind magic, Refresh, toward his head.

“… … .”

… what the heck, why doesn’t this work?

The moment when the magic that was like my life magic didn’t activate. For a moment, though, a feeling of bewilderment bloomed in my head.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to figure out why the magic didn’t activate.

“… Where have all my circles gone?”

My magic circle, which I made up to the 9th circle through all the hardships of hardship.

It was all gone except for one circle.

As if from the beginning, it didn’t exist except for Circle 1. It had disappeared so cleanly that not even a trace of destruction remained.

The strange thing was that it wasn’t the only one, I was also able to realize right away.

As soon as I lifted my head and looked around. Because I was able to realize that this place where I am is an all-too-familiar landscape.

At the end of the third floor of Perdalos Mansion. Private room of the eldest son Conrad Perdalos.

If the black-haired man reflected in the mirror is really me. This room must also mean that it was my room in the past.

In addition to that, I was able to discover that my body age was also considerably younger.

There was only one conclusion that could be grasped from the visible information.

“Time return… ?”

The realm of God’s providence that must not be dared to be touched. Time Regression Magic.

While reaching the level of the 9th circle archmage. Although he hadn’t properly grasped the knowledge of time magic itself, let alone time regression.

There was no other way to explain this situation other than to go back in time.

I thought it was a strange artifact in a form I had never seen before.

If it was an artifact related to time magic, it would be understandable how difficult it was to use.

By the way, it can’t be that it’s not just simply turning the time of the world except for me. Even making my own body younger.

There was a reason that it was forbidden ancient magic that was not clearly transmitted.

The moment this kind of magic degenerates into ordinary magic that any wizard can use, you can’t even imagine the chaos that will come from it.

As an addition to that. I was really fortunate to have found it.

Because, at least, the fact that I went back to the past when I was a nerd in the 1st circle. It also meant returning to the past quite a long time ago.

The bleak and hopeless future I saw at the last moment was as if it hadn’t happened yet.

Just once. It was the same as saying that an opportunity to change the future was given to me.

The reason I said only once is not different. Because my mage intuition told me so.

Once again, when I got my hands on that unknown ancient artifact that was accidentally activated. I couldn’t guarantee that I would be able to get it working again.

Above all, if I went back through time even once, my soul would surely not be able to withstand it.

Although he said that his body had returned to his youthful, lively body.

My soul, the only one unaffected by time regression, must have been hit directly by the recoil from using the artifact.

If you use the same time regression one more time, you probably won’t succeed. My soul will forever wander through the cracks of time.

“… So, what year is it exactly?”

Looking at the scenery outside the window, the season seems to be winter.

Judging from the fact that the 2nd circle was not open yet, it was highly likely that it was the winter vacation of the first year of the academy.

“… Let’s start with the circle open.”

My mind felt like I was going to die, but it was time for my body to wake up after a good night’s sleep.

I can probably release about 2 circles even in this state.

After drawing a 4-step magic formula in a 2×2 grid in the air. I activated the chain magic of Light-Water-Wind-Secret.

Immediately, I felt the aura of magic enveloping my body.

In my previous life, the 2nd stage magic circle that I had not obtained for a long time because of wasted time was absorbed into my body at once.

“It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a really long time.”

As soon as the circle was released, the first thing to start was, of course, the refreshing magic that had just failed.

As soon as the magic was activated, the tired energy from earlier disappeared to some extent, and he was able to recover to the point where he could regain his senses.

“I guess I should make it up to the 3rd circle.”

I felt like I wanted to go back to the 9th circle at once and return to my original state.

The magic circle that could be created without any special preparation was limited to 3 circles at most.

After that, you need an environment rich in mana sensitivity. I also needed to prepare the essentials for raising the circle.

I was thinking of making only 3 circles that I could make with my bare body.

The 3rd circle’s liberation method is a 9-step magic linking formula.

A 9-step magic formula in the form of 3×3 was required.

start fire. Second is light.

After that, the seven attribute magics were formed in the most seamless way. It embodies a chain magic formula that leads to 9 steps.

The first day of returning to the academy as a second year preparatory student. I became a 3rd circle wizard.

Also recovers the magic circle. I’ve come to my senses to some extent.

The first thing I had to do was figure out exactly what month and day it was.

I managed to somehow return to the past with the power of an ancient artifact that was accidentally activated.

If you stay still and do nothing like this, you will only repeat the tragedy of your past life.

In order to correct the wrong future, it was necessary to correct each and every thing within my reach.

Although it is also about Stella. Besides that, there was a lot of work to be done.

In particular, there were not one or two things in the past that needed to be changed regarding the Perdalos family and the territory.

It’s the winter vacation of the first year of the academy. It’s time to come down to my hometown to help manage the estate.

I’m going to have to solve each one from what I can do now.

After changing the pajamas I was wearing into everyday clothes. As soon as you open the door and step outside.

In terms of experience, I was able to face a nostalgic face that seemed to be meeting for the first time in years.

“Did you cough, brother?”

It seems to have captured the culture as a nobleman and the practicality as a manager at the same time. A little sister with half-braided, half-draped hair.

She, with pale blonde hair resembling her father, greeted me in the morning with a faint smile.

as soon as I saw that face. For some reason, a strange feeling welled up in the depths of my heart.

“Delphina.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Let’s hug each other for the first time in a long time.”

“Yeah… ?”

Delphina tilted her head as if she didn’t understand my words. My arms were already wide open towards my sister.

Fortunately, Delphina did not avoid or reject my touch. He gently came into my arms.

“Sorry, Delphina. Let me stay like this for a moment.”

“Did you have any nightmares, brother?”

“Yes, it was a terrible nightmare I never want to have again.”

“If you think you can calm that feeling by hugging me. I’ll lend you as much as you like.”

Compared to my ugly older brother, Delphina, who is much more dignified, is not taken aback by my sudden foolishness.

Rather, it calmed and soothed my confused mind.

Thanks to that, my mind, which was confused immediately after returning to the past, was able to settle down shortly after.

“Sorry, Delphina. You suddenly did something strange.”

“No, brother. Brother, there must be days when you want to lean on someone.”

Although she is my younger sister, she really has no angels.

If you look in the mirror now, you probably have a rather unsightly expression.

Anyway, since I met Delphina, it was a good opportunity. I immediately asked her for the most needed information.

“Delphina, what month and day is it today?”

“Because the day my brother came back from the academy was the day before yesterday. Today will be the last day of December.”

“Thank you, Delphina.”

Fortunately, realizing that it wasn’t too late, my steps moved straight toward the stairs leading upstairs.

“Brother? How about breakfast?”

“Sorry, tell Hardy I’m going down a little late today.”

Even if I started right now, I had to do important things first. Eating, of course, was an afterthought.

After going up the stairs to the upper floor. After standing in front of the bedroom door of Viscount Perdalos on the 4th floor.

smart. With two knocks, I called my mother inside.

“Mother, may I come in?”

“Conrad? Come in.”

After receiving permission from her mother, she entered the door. The first thing I saw was Viscount Tanasia lying on the bed.

There were two maids around since morning to take care of her mother.

“What are you doing this morning, Conrad?”

My mother’s face, which I see after almost ten years, is the same as in my last memory.

It was a very emaciated yet sickly appearance.

It’s only natural that you haven’t been able to get out of bed for three years already.

It was a tragedy that happened three years before this time.

While my mother, a great wizard and magic researcher, is researching new magic as usual.

He proceeded without finding a fatal error in the magic formula he made by mistake.

Of course, that magic was a great magic that could only be activated by using almost all of the mana in the body.

You used a badly crafted great magic without any safeguards. The aftermath returned as a predestined tragedy.

The magic circuit of her mother, who was a great wizard, was completely destroyed in the aftermath.

Because of the stabbing pain all over the body that you feel every time you move your body. Let alone magic, even movement became difficult.

As a wizard, he knew better than anyone the pain of having his magic circuit broken, even for a moment.

It was only natural that anyone would become like that if he had been suffering from that condition for three years.

“mother.”

“Yes, my son.”

“I’d like to talk to my mother alone for a while, is that okay?”

After hearing my words, my mother immediately glanced at the maids.

“Mary, Biz, could you please leave for a moment?”

“Yes, Miss Tanasia.”

He smoothly sent the two servants out of the room.

Unlike my father, who was from a commoner background. She had the clean elegance of a mother who was an aristocrat from birth.

The door the two of them left closed with the sound of the door. When only me and my mother were left in the bedroom.

My mother, stripped of her aristocratic etiquette, asked me with a smile.

“My son, what do you want to talk about?”

“mother. Could you give me your hand for a moment?”

“right hand? Or the left hand?”

“With both hands, please.”

Holding two thin, white, beautiful hands pushed in front of me.

With one hand, I slowly pushed my magic power toward my mother.

With the other hand, he accepted the damaged magic power stored in his mother’s body.

“son? what are you doing now… ?”

“Hold on for a moment, mother. If you concentrate, it will be over in no time.”

It is not that difficult in itself to restore the magic circuit that was once broken.

I also once in my previous life when the magic circuit was broken. It was because I had the experience of being treated smoothly with the help of my colleagues at the time.

Injecting someone else’s magic power into a person whose magic circuit is broken. At the same time, it is to extract and purify the existing mana that has been damaged.

The treatment itself was a method that could only be performed with the skill of mana handling and sufficient mana.

The problem is that this method of treatment is only passed on to elves living in the forest of the World Tree.

Although it was a technique like a secret technique that was hardly known to the outside world.

Fortunately, in this lifetime, I was able to return with knowledge about him.

There was no reason to hesitate in saving her mother’s life, which she had to give up once.

“… … .”

Fortunately, my magic and magical talents were inherited from my mother. Magical circulation and purification were able to proceed much more smoothly than others.

When the ritual of holding hands and concentrating for about 30 minutes was over. The expression on her mother’s face, who had suffered from the pain, was even more relaxed than before.

“How are you feeling, mother?”

“Conrad, you can’t… . Did you fix this mother’s magic circuit?”

“Yeah. But just in case, you shouldn’t use magic today.

Stay for a day and if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me again tomorrow.”

“… … .”

“Now let’s go. I’ll tell Mary and Biz to bring breakfast when we come back.”

My mother, at a loss for words at the small miracle I had performed, stared into the empty air for a long time before I left the room.

“Conrad.”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you, my son.”

He showed me a smile with light tears and thanked me.

“It’s nothing. Get some rest, mother.”

I made eye contact with my mother for the last time and walked out of the bedroom.

Returning to the past, feeling deep satisfaction in the future that has changed for the first time.
