“글렌 군, 자넨 모가지일세.” “예?” 강사로서 열심히 해보겠다고 결심하자마자 갑작스러운 해고 선언. 학교에서 해고당하지 않으려면 자비로 고대유적을 조사해야만 했기에 가난뱅이 글렌이 떠올린 방법이란…… “너희들은 좀 더 넓은 세상을 알아야 해!” 학생들을 이용하는 평소처럼 변변찮은 방법이었다! “제가 도와드릴게요.” 글렌은 천사 루미아의 호의 덕분에 학생들의 협력을 얻었지만…… “나도 따라가 주마, 글렌.” 무슨 영문인지 세리카도 동행하겠다는데?! “틀림없이 뭔가 변변찮은 속셈이 있는 거겠지!” 유적에 잠든 세계의 심연과 접촉했을 때, 가족의 인연이 시험받는다!
Tarō Hitsuji (羊太郎, Hitsuji Tarō/Tarou) is the author of the Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Light Novel and Memory Records of Bastard Magic Instructor series.
Some years ago, I saw the anime for the series, Rokudenashi. I believe it was during my high school days. A story about a magic teacher was new for me, so I remembered it very quickly. Because it was fascinating, I always wanted to read the novels. So then, several years later, I read the sixth volume of the series. This one picks up from where the anime ended.
Celica's mysterious past is the most significant point in this story. She lost her memories four-hundred years ago. As an immortal, she realizes her precious Glenn's short life span. Rushing, she continually explores the labyrinth. There lies the reason for her memory loss. However, does her current bond take priority over her lost memories? This dilemma is very realistic, in my opinion. For me, personally, the story's development was wonderfully done. For those who watched the anime or interested in Celica's past, please check it out by all means!
