My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

1 – Hero’s Childhood Friend (1)

The wizard of the warrior’s party, Xerath, is the hero’s childhood friend and his reputation is quite great.

He entered the magic academy at the top of his class and never lost first place until he graduated. Even after he graduated, it only took him three years to enter the Mage Tower and become a 8th Circle mage.

Besides, he was the best authority in the field of combat magic, if not for other magic. When it comes to fighting magic, he was the most outstanding wizard on this continent.

That’s why he was able to join the warrior’s party. At the request of his childhood friend Chloe, he joined the warrior party.

And he really did a lot. Even when he caught the Four Heavenly Kings who invaded the empire, he made a great contribution, and he played a big role when the monsters descended south in groups.

There was no one who didn’t know that he was a very outstanding person. He is quite capable and has contributed greatly to the Empire.

But that’s not what’s important.

He was a commoner. The important thing here now is not that he made any contributions or anything like that. It only mattered that he was a commoner.

Because to the princess, being a commoner was something that should be insignificant. A lowly being, a commoner who was born different from the imperial family and nobles, was not to be treated like that.

To her, a commoner should be like a commoner. You have to live a simple life while farming like a commoner. Presumptuously, there should not have been a commoner in the wizard-like position of the warriors party.

That’s why the princess summoned Xerath. And she had him kneel inside the imperial palace, and the princess was directly criticizing Xerath.

“Zerath, the wizard of the warrior party. You are well aware of your sins, right? You hurt innocent citizens in the name of saving the empire from demons. You destroyed and burned innocent citizens’ property.”

I saw the princess right in front of me. She is the princess who makes a lot of impressions while pointing her finger at me.

The first princess, Letia, boasts brilliant silver hair, fair skin and red eyes, and looks just like a doll someone made. She looked down at me with a beautiful, lofty voice.

“That’s right, princess. This happened because this commoner was a magician of the warrior’s party in the first place.”

And next to him was the court mage, Balt.

Unlike me, this man in a proper, immobile mage’s suit, wearing her accessories as if he was from a noble family, was a court mage from a noble family.

He also helped the princess and started slashing at me.

‘Did I do that wrong?’

To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel unfair about this situation.

Because I really did my best. No, isn’t it natural that buildings collapse and people are bound to get hurt in the battle with the Four Heavenly Kings in the first place?

Rather, no one died, and at the point of defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, I honestly deserved praise.

‘Is it because I’m a commoner after all?’

The reason why I’m being criticized like this is probably because I’m a commoner.

To be honest, I was expecting it to some extent. From the day I entered the warrior’s party, the eyes of the nobles and the imperial family on me were never nice.

I vaguely expected that this would happen someday.

‘Well, the position of the wizard in the warrior’s party has been occupied by nobles.’

In fact, since ancient times, the position of a wizard in a warrior’s party was the exclusive property of nobles.

In the first place, how can a commoner who struggles to make a living buy a magic book and learn magic? Aristocrats with a lot of money and a lot of leisure can learn magic.

I was a bit of a special case, but up until this point, nobles had always taken the place of wizards in the warriors’ party. So, as a commoner right now, it would be quite embarrassing for me to take the place of a wizard in the warriors’ party.

‘No matter how good I am, it’s useless…’

In the end, all of this was a show to get me out of my position as a wizard in the warrior party.

I couldn’t help but feel quite unfair about that part. To be honest, I think I did well in my own way at the warrior party.

I never did anything that would make someone feel bad, and I worked harder than anyone else with a sense of responsibility for my position. On the contrary, because he was a commoner, he worked even harder.

‘Who was born as a commoner because they liked it…’

However, in the end, you can’t get compliments and only get cursed at for the reason that you are a commoner, honestly. How can you not be unfair?

I like it too, so I wasn’t born as a commoner. After reincarnating in a fantasy world, I couldn’t help being a commoner’s child.

Even in that situation, I did my best and worked hard. That was all.

‘I didn’t enter the warrior’s party because I wanted to…’

Also, the warrior party was actually not originally planned. I had no choice but to go in at the request of my childhood friend, originally I just wanted to stay quiet.

Being an academy professor, or becoming a servant of the kingdom, or becoming an adventurer exploring dungeons, I was going to do something like that.

But I gave up on that idea and joined the warriors party at the request of my childhood friend.

‘Well, it can’t be helped. I guess the warrior party wasn’t my job.’

But what can I do, I just think it can’t be helped.

From the beginning, the position of the wizard in the warrior party must have been someone other than me.

The court mage next to the princess now, Balt. Perhaps after I leave, he will join the warrior party as a wizard.

Perhaps his intention is that he wants to join the wizard of the warrior party.

Bald has always been a man who secretly radiated a sense of rivalry to me.

I don’t know his skills, but I think Balt is probably an excellent mage.

Since he’s occupying the position of a court mage in his own way, he probably doesn’t lack skills in the first place.

Of course, there are rumors that court mages are hereditary devices of noble families, but I don’t believe it is.

There’s no way that an important position like a court mage can be passed down as a hereditary device.

A position that oversees many magical affairs in the country, there was absolutely no such position.

“No matter how much you try to defeat the demons, I cannot condone your actions as the wizard of the warrior party. From now on, in the name of the princess Letia, I will expel you from the empire. Do you have any objections?”

In the end, that’s how I heard the princess’s banishment sentence. It wasn’t a sentence of deportation in accordance with the procedure at the court, but that didn’t matter at all.

The words of the princess and the servants who agreed with her, even this has enough meaning. As long as they came out like this, the procedure had nothing to do with it.

Now, if I answer ‘yes’ to that princess’s words, I will be exiled like this.

‘Yeah… I can’t help it.’

After being cornered this far, there is no choice but to be banished.

You’re not going to make a fuss here saying you can’t accept that, right?

I can’t really not accept it, so I guess I have no choice but to accept it. Because I’m not on my side right now.

“I will accept it. I will leave the Empire sometime today.”

I was going to be expelled anyway, so I decided to get expelled neatly.

He wasn’t the one who would listen to me just because he refuted me here, and he’d just keep blaming me anyway.

I hate being tired like that. It was a problem to break up cleanly that there was no lingering anyway. Besides, I was the one who didn’t like to have a warrior party in the first place.

“Hmph. But you know how to accept it, that’s commendable.”

The princess who reacted as if she was a bit surprised when she saw me like this, she soon smiled and was delighted.

And so did everyone else. The court mage Balt also smiled and smiled, and all the other servants welcomed my expulsion.

If you knew you would be so happy, would you have gone earlier? I think so.

‘Come to think of it, it’s unfortunate that I couldn’t say hello to the hero, but that doesn’t matter.’

When my deportation was finalized, I briefly thought of my childhood friend.

My childhood friend, a warrior, she was on a business trip elsewhere.

Of the 4 warriors in the party, it wasn’t necessary for all of them to move, so I went on a business trip to the north with one of them.

I had to leave Empire like this, and it felt very slightly regretful that I couldn’t even say goodbye to her.

Will she be sad if I say I’m leaving? I thought so for a moment, but it couldn’t be.

I think he would be happy if I told him I left. I don’t know if she was very close when I was young, but she was the one who started a fight with her as if I didn’t like her these days.

When I talk to the guild receptionist, or when I talk to the church sisters, or when I talk to the noble ladies.

Aside from that, she’s been giving me weird tantrums. It seems like everything has something to do with women, but don’t get me wrong.

It’s also a childhood friend who’s been like her brother and sister since she was little, and there’s no way she likes me because she’s a very popular warrior. Besides, there was a time when I was mistaken for a moment and asked if she liked me, and she answered that she didn’t like me.

‘Amira will take good care of me.’

Well, I don’t think we need to say goodbye. There are people who will take my place of saying goodbye.

Because there was one more warrior party left here. Amira, an elf in charge of scouting for the warrior party. She will probably send my regards.

Come to think of it, what is Amira doing? I turned her head and looked at Amira.

That’s how I looked at Amira.

“Haa… That’s really f*cked up.”

She sighed as she placed her hand on her forehead.
