"The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Wise Man" is a book adaptation of a novel originally published on the novel submission website "Let's Become a Novelist." Its theme is reincarnation into the world of a game. It's garnering attention with an anime adaptation scheduled to air in January 2022. This time, we'd like to introduce some of the most famous lines from the series that you'll want to hear in the anime!
What is "The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Wise Man"?
A 28-year-old young man named Sakimori Kan plays the VRMMO game "Arc Earth Online" as an old man named "Dumbledore," one of the Nine Sages. While playing around with creating a female character avatar through character remakes, Sakimori falls asleep. When she wakes up, she finds herself transported to the game world. Instead of the sage "Dumbledore," she finds herself in the form of a female character avatar she created for fun. Concerned that it would be a disgrace to her if people discovered that the sage, Dumbledore, actually looks like a young girl, she decides to take on the name of the sage's apprentice, Mira, and embark on an adventure in this new world as the beautiful silver-haired girl.
Famous Line #1: "What on earth is this world?"
This line is from Volume 1. These are the words spoken by Milla to Solomon, the king of the in-game kingdom of Arkite. Just as Milla was originally a player named Sakimori, Solomon himself was originally a player of the game. Milla uttered the above line, thinking that as a fellow player, she would know the reason for the strange events in this world. However, even Solomon did not know the reason. Solomon said that the world they had been living in up until now might have been the world of some game. It is a little creepy to think that even if you think you are living in reality, it might actually be the world of some game. It is a line that seems to have a frightening quality lurking behind it.
Famous Line #2: "I want to save everyone someday...!"
This line is from Volume 4. A boy named Takuto speaks to Mira, who saved the town of Karanac from peril. Takuto lives in Karanac with his grandfather, and one day he aspires to use summoning magic to save people like Mira. Mira tells Takuto that pure interest is what's important. This line shows that the spotlight is not only on main characters like Mira, but also on the surrounding characters.
Famous Quote #3: "I'm so happy to have someone like you as my teacher for Summoning."
This line is from Volume 5. Mira speaks to Hinata, the Summoning teacher. Mira is a Summoning teacher at Arkite Academy, a school in the Arkite Kingdom. Hinata believes that it is important not only to teach Summoning, but also to incorporate the sensibilities of young students. Mira was pleased to see Hinata's efforts to develop Summoning based on the sensibilities of young students. Hinata's efforts ultimately led to Mira's new summoning technique, highlighting her significant contribution. Hinata must have felt truly blessed to be a teacher when she heard the above line.
Famous Line #4: "Finally... I'm pleased to meet you..."
This line is from Volume 5. Mariana spoke this line when Mira revealed her true identity to her: Dumbledore. Mariana was a fairy woman who served as Dumbledore's aide. At first, Milla didn't tell Mariana her true identity, insisting that she was Dunbalf's apprentice. However, anticipating a long journey, Milla decided to tell Mariana the truth. Upon learning the truth, Mariana burst into tears of joy. It was their first reunion in 30 years. Mariana's emotional and joyful expression at finally reuniting is a scene you'll definitely want to see in the anime.
