I was exposed as the strongest magician to my sister, who has severe brother complex. I can no longer hide my abilities at school!

Chapter 10 : Exposed!

After that, first and second-year students began to gather in the auditorium one after another.

Being new students, Alvin and the others were placed near the front, attracting attention as expected.

Therefore, they had to turn around to see how the students behind them were doing.

—The entrance ceremony proceeded without a hitch.

Starting with the Academy’s president’s speech, followed by a brief orientation and a speech from the representative of the new students, the schedule weighed heavily on Alvin’s eyelids.

“Alvin-san, you can’t fall asleep! You have to listen properly to what they are saying, you know?”

“But the stories are making my eyelids heavy… Oh, can I use Sofia’s lap as a pillow?”

“Eh…!?”

Such exchanges unfolded in the corner where the first-year students were sitting.

Perhaps because they were speaking quietly, for now, no disdainful looks were directed their way.

If there were other students sitting nearby, they might have received unpleasant glances, but being disliked had its advantages in this case.

“Next, the current student representative of the academy, Ms. Cecil Astarea will deliver a congratulatory speech to the new students.”

And finally, an announcement with a familiar name was heard.

Alvin’s expression instantly became stern.

“What’s wrong? Your posture became straight all of a sudden?”

“Well… I’m just cautious about what that foolish sister might say.”

“Is that person Alvin-san’s older sister?”

Wow. Sofia saw the figure of a girl going up on stage.

A dignified, yet somehow gallant. Just by walking, she unintentionally drew everyone’s attention.

However, despite being said to be siblings, they didn’t seem alike, that was Sofia’s honest impression about them.

Cecil’s figure on stage condensed a sense of ‘admiration’ with charisma.

On the other hand, Alvin, despite appearing languid, condensed a sense of ‘friendliness’.

Looking similar yet emitting different vibes, Sofia tilted her head in confusion.

Cecil stood in front of the extension device everyone had been using, exuding grace and composure, and spoke…

“Yahoo! Al-kun, are you watching?”

‘Ah, they really look alike in some way.’ Sofia thought that sincerely.

“Um, where’s Al-kun?”

“No way! I don’t want my family’s embarrassing moments to be spread in public!”

Beside Sofia, Alvin covered his face, appearing on the verge of tears.

The new students, confused, turned their gaze towards the rumored incompetent. She probably noticed it… Cecil’s eyes sparkled, and she waved vigorously towards Alvin.

“Al-kun! Isn’t your onee-san cool? I’m even the top student of this academy, you know!”

“Could you please close your mouth, foolish sister…!”

“Ahaha… She’s indeed an interesting older sister.”

In a place like this, calling someone’s name to attract attention and making a spectacle would undoubtedly be embarrassing. At that moment, Sofia felt genuine sympathy for Alvin.

“Please take it seriously.”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

Being cautioned by the emcee, Cecil seemed dejected.

The charisma, dignity, and authority were nowhere to be found.

However, even so, as the representative of the current students, the top student continued her words without hesitation.

“Welcome, new students… to our academy. On behalf of the current students, I welcome you.”

Finally, Cecil began speaking, and the teachers and emcee felt relieved.

The current students, perhaps accustomed to this, ended with a wry smile and a slight stir, leaving the new students still bewildered.

Why is the disgrace of that duke’s family being doted on? Was their Cecil-sama really like that? Were the rumors true?

There were various voices, but despite the commotion, Cecil’s words continued to advance.

“From now on, you new students will face many challenges at the academy. Although this is a school framework, it is also a training ground just before stepping into society. You will experience challenges in academics, friendships, and training that you have never experienced before, and it will be visible and tough.”

“Good… I was worried for a moment, but it’s nice to see her behaving properly.”

“Hehe~, I think she’s an interesting person.”

“Please… Stay normal as you are now!”

Alvin listened intently with a different feeling than the new students.

“However, this environment will contribute greatly to your future. It’s not just about hardships; there are enjoyable and joyful things, and a place where all the rewards, including the equal distribution of them, will be given. It will make each of you grow, just as you have grown until now. This place will surely be recognized by those around you.”

And…..

“Even Al-kun here has gained muscles that are incomparable to before.”

“Let go! I have to shut up that idiot’s mouth right away!”

“No, right now, we’re in the middle of a greeting!”

Alvin, attempting to stand up, created a scene where Sofia clung to him, trying to prevent him.

“In the past, when we took a bath together, he was so small and cute…”

“Alvin-san, please calm down! That knife you took out is for cutting fruit, not for cutting your own neck!”

“Let go, Sofia! I have to throw this knife to expose that family’s shame in front of the public, or I won’t have the confidence to live!”

“Ah, my brother is still very cute! And, Al-kun is really amazing! He’s stronger than me, you know!”

“Then at least… at least let me throw this knife to reveal their embarrassment!”

“Alvin-san, your arm… please lower that raised arm, it’s dangerous!”

—In the end, the representative speech ended without any major issues.
