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 11 : Damsel in Distress!

Chapter 11 : Damsel in Distress!

“Hey, that story Cecil-sama mentioned earlier…”

“No, it’s nothing. That disgrace is not stronger than Cecil-sama.”

“Surely, she said it to encourage her poor little brother. Besides, we’re not even in the same class.”

Such whispered conversations echoed throughout the classroom.

It was especially insidious since the words were loud enough for the person in question to hear.

However, Alvin honestly didn’t care about what others thought around him. In fact, he found that it made them give up on him, allowing him to lead a carefree life.

Yet, this only fueled the gossip among the students. If the other party was from a duke’s family and there was no retaliation, they took advantage.

Nevertheless, some people disliked such an atmosphere, and…

“I’m happy to be in the same class as Alvin-san, but… I hate this atmosphere! I’ll go give them a piece of my mind!”

After the entrance ceremony and the increasing display of Cecil’s favoritism, Alvin and Sofia made their way to their assigned classrooms.

It seemed they were waiting for the instructor to arrive during a short break.

Sofia, who happened to be in the same class as Alvin, was heading towards a group gossiping and badmouthing.

But… Alvin intervened by grabbing her arm.

“Stop it.”

“But, they’re saying nothing but bad things about you! It’s rude to speak ill of others!”

“It’s nice of you to worry about me, but if you do that, Sofia will attract attention. Even though we’re in the same academy environment, you need to consider the commoner’s position.”

Sofia sat down, pouting in dissatisfaction.

“Alvin-san is too kind.”

“From my perspective, Sofia is the kind one.”

“I-Is that so?”

Whether it was a compliment or not, Sofia blushed in embarrassement.

Alvin, touched by her reaction, placed his hand on his face.

“D-Did I do something…?”

“No, I just felt like I met a proper girl after a long time…”

Alvin recalled his sister proposing to him and the information broker who would dislocate his shoulder without mercy. A genuinely kind, normal, and unaffected girl was a rare sight for him.

“Anyway, it’s nice that you care, but honestly, being talked about like this is convenient for me.”

“You silly!”

“Listen, for the future, remember this well, Miss Sofia… I don’t enjoy being ostracized.”

However, the words of the cute girl were not what Alvin wanted to hear.

“By the way, the instructor… Is taking a while.” Sofia casually mentioned this.

Indeed, some time had passed since they gathered here.

When left waiting without clear instructions, doubts naturally arose in everyone’s mind.

“They’re probably taking a nap, right?”

“Huh? It’s still morning?”

“But, isn’t it time for a nap?”

“Alvin-san’s daily life seems to be peeking through.”

If his sister hadn’t interfered, Alvin would be sleeping at this time.

The option of ‘sleeping’ was not jokingly suggested.

“Wait, they’ll come eventually, won’t they? They wouldn’t just abandon the new students…”

At that moment, the door swung open with a bang, and a figure appeared.

“Onee-san is here!!!”

However, the person who appeared seemed a bit different from an instructor.

Alvin promptly propped himself on the window frame.

“Alright, let’s go, Princess Sofia! Let’s escape from this stifling world!”

“This isn’t the timing for a prince on a white horse to appear, is it!?”

There was no dramatic situation, climax-like atmosphere, or happy ending ambiance.

Instead, the classroom became even more excited.

“Why is Cecil-sama here…?”

“Ah, she is as beautiful as ever!”

“I’d love to have a chat with Cecil-sama at least once!”

As expected, the difference in reactions between Alvin and Cecil was like night and day.

Even though she had strange behaviors and was overly attached to his brother, everything else about him—academics, physical strength, appearance, family background—stood out remarkably. She was admired in some circles.

Simply by appearing, Cecil garnered yellow and peach-colored gazes, showcasing her tremendous popularity.

“Ah, why are you trying to escape, Al-kun!”

“Go home, sis-con! I was enjoying a conversation with a cute girl! Don’t interfere with family matters!”

“I-Is he being unfaithful…? Isn’t it bad to do such things before marriage?”

“What’s bad is the relationship!”

Despite the envious glances from the surroundings, Cecil only had eyes for her little brother.

One would start worrying if she’d eventually be disappointed.

“Uh, um… Why is Cecil-sama here?”

Sofia, surprised by their interaction, timidly asked.

“That’s the thing… The instructors were running late, so they asked me to come and tell you all about the academy. Being highly trusted and honored, I gladly took on this role!”

With that explanation, Alvin’s sister smiled cutely and announced to all the students,

“So, everyone, assemble at the training grounds now! I’ll teach you all about Al-kun’s greatness!”

Thus, Alvin quickly jumped down from the window and distanced himself from the scene.
