The Water Magician: Arc 2—The Western Provinces Arc

Three years have passed since the war for the kingdom's liberation. Ryo, a water-element magician who was appointed the head duke of the Knightley Kingdom, enjoys a leisurely life devoted to alchemy and farming, traveling between the royal capital and Rondo Forest. However, being a nobleman does not mean he can avoid trouble. After climbing the castle, he is forced to take part in negotiations with the Debuhi Empire, and then joins a diplomatic mission heading to the far western countries. While everyone is excited by the signs of a new battle, Ryo remains as laid-back as ever, saying, "I want to see a golem!" The long-awaited second part of the comic adaptation, which tells the story of the original novel, "The Western Countries Arc," has begun!

Ryo is delighted to be reincarnated into the fantastical world of Phi, where he thinks he’ll get to live a quiet life learning to use his newfound water magic. Going with the flow here, however, means something very different. Ryo is immediately pitted against the wild lands he winds up in and the slew of deadly monsters that call the remote subcontinent home. You’d think he’d forget about taking it easy when he’s stuck fighting for his life, but lucky for Ryo, he’s naturally optimistic, clever, and blessed with the hidden “Eternal Youth” trait. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye, and each encounter along the way pushes him one step closer to the pinnacle of human magic. Little does he realize that’s only the opening chapter of his tale. A fateful meeting soon thrusts Ryo to the forefront of history, forever changing the course of his life… Thus begins the adventures of the strongest water magician the world has ever seen—who also likes to do things at his own pace! *Source: J-Novel Club, Arc 1: Vol. 1*
