After a moment, Weasley made up his mind and asked seriously.

"Me?"

Shami pointed to himself.

"Call me Edogawa."

Shami decided to maintain his identity at Saint Karno School. After all, the school wasn't far from Fata, and keeping one identity was more prudent.

"I'm Weasley, a mage within Fata."

Weasley slowly stood up.

"I'm a herder, actually not much different from a villager."

Weasley looked at the black-haired boy in front of him, feeling a bit sentimental.

Knowing my name and still completely unfazed, what a mysterious heart this is.

Speaking with a sincere tone, Weasley opened his mouth slowly.

"I wish to take you as my teacher."

A true wise one always remains humble, and in this respect, Weasley executed it well.

As someone who studies magic, Weasley deeply understands his own insignificance in this world. It's by remaining humble that he had always been able to progress, unlike the other Great Mages.

Now, having met someone who inspires him, Weasley decided to sincerely follow for a while, hoping to gain more in fishing, and perhaps gain insights that will enhance his understanding of magic.

Shami was a bit surprised.

There was already an annoying Old Tree Spirit at home, now another one?

Even if they know magic, I don't want them. There's already a magical girl at home.

"I wonder if Mr. Edogawa is willing? I have many questions about fishing I'd like to consult with Mr. Edogawa. I can see that Mr. Edogawa's inner world is not something ordinary people can reach. If Mr. Edogawa is willing, I can also impart some magic to you, for mutual encouragement. Of course, the earlier competition still holds; I indeed am not as skilled. If Mr. Edogawa wants to visit Fata, just mention my name."

Weasley's terms were quite tempting, and he even voluntarily lowered himself.

Shami began to think seriously.

He pondered and then looked at Weasley again.

It seems that Weasley is considered an experienced mage within Fata. Even if retired, he likely still holds some position.

In the future, Fata will be an important role against the demon tribe, so placing some of my own people inside wouldn't be a bad idea.

Since Weasley was so sincere, Shami agreed.

"Alright, then. But as for calling you teacher, let's forget about that..."

"No, no, no... I have many things about fishing I need to learn from Mr. Edogawa..."

Shami frowned.

But he doesn't know how to fish at all! Moreover, this old man doesn't seem easy to convert.

Weasley looked at the time. It was getting late; he had sneaked out, and recently Fata needed to prepare for something big.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I have things to do; if Mr. Edogawa needs anything, come to Fata to find me."

"I need to go too; I have to go home to make breakfast."

Shami needed to leave as well.

The two bid farewell and left the forest separately.

——

After the two left, a red Fishman quietly sneaked back into his lake.

Although he had the ability to live out of water, he would die if he stayed away from it for too long.

This time sneaking out, the red Fishman went to another lake, found some good fish species, and released them into his lake.
