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 13 : Showing off True Abilities!

“Anything for Cecil-sama!”

“Does that mean she will also agree to the engagement with me!?”

“I’ve always wanted to have a tea party with Cecil-sama!”

With Cecil’s words, the murmurs among the students grew louder.

Even peeking into the aspect that the students thought Cecil was a siscon, her status was still high. Since she mentioned ‘anything’, excitement was inevitable.

“What-what-what should I do, Alvin-san!? For some reason, everyone’s motivation is incredible!”

“To think there was such a threatening way to force me…! I underestimated my sister’s determination!”

At this rate, a scenario of ‘Alvin v/s classmates’ would emerge. For Alvin, who didn’t want to show off his abilities, this was the worst-case scenario.

‘Let’s calm down… Alvin Astarea, 14-year-old handsome boy… Well, if you think about it calmly, it’s not that big of a deal.’

If they were going to attack, they could go ahead and do so. If Alvin pretended to be defeated after receiving a blow from an average person, this boasting about Cecil’s younger brother with the name of this ability measurement would end.

Additionally, this situation was not all disadvantageous. Currently, rumors are circulating that Alvin was ‘actually very strong’ because of Cecil. He didn’t know when or how these rumors would pair up and gain credibility. If he reinforced the rumor that ‘the disgrace of the Duke’s house is incompetent’ here, that would also disappear.

‘It hurts to be hit, but considering the future, maybe I should take it…?’

If so, it would be better to choose someone who wouldn’t hurt much even if they hit. Alvin began to observe the enthusiastic faces of those around him.

“Al-kun, Al-kun.”

While thinking about such things, Cecil came to Alvin with brisk steps.

“What’s wrong, nee-san?”

“I thought Al-kun might be thinking, ‘I should just take it easy for the future’.”

“Hahaha.”

She was already an esper.

“Don’t worry, nee-san… I’ll do my best so that nee-san won’t have to ask me for anything!”

Alvin calmly told lies as if he was breathing. It was too early for his sister to give up on him.

“Is it okay!? I might have to be engaged to someone I don’t know! When did Al-kun become so heartless!?”

“I don’t know!? It was nee-san who brought about this situation on her own!”

“Didn’t you promise to marry me?!”

“I’ll introduce a good doctor using the Duke’s connections! Faking memories might be a sign of a serious illness!”

Cecil puffed her cheeks, and Alvin rejected her by turning away. Meanwhile, the students were steadily bringing weapons from the back of the training ground.

Seeing that, caught in the middle, Sophia whispered to Alvin.

“Alvin-san, can’t you get motivated now?”

“Listen, Sophia… I’m really weak. I don’t want to repaint this status for the sake of a dissolute life.”

“But at this rate, Alvin-san might be in danger…”

Sophia, who was genuinely worried, made Alvin groan with her pure and innocent eyes.

“Now, now, is everyone ready!?”

Cecil, who had become desperate, shouted at the students. Each student ignited their motivation in their eyes and aimed their weapons at Alvin.

“If the opponent is a disgrace from the Duke’s house…”

“Probably, it will be a race to be first… If we’re going to do it, we need to act quickly!”

“There’s nothing to fear if the opponent is incompetent!”

Well, overall, it wouldn’t be good to play into Cecil’s expectations here. However, Sophia was genuinely concerned about his safety. Moreover, it was something to think about if his sister, whom he didn’t dislike, listened to someone’s request.

‘Haah… I’m already irritated! I don’t like being pushed around by nee-san!’

Finally, Cecil gave the signal to start.

Hearing that, the students all rushed towards Alvin. Some attacked with weapons in hand, while others began chanting magic. It was clear that their skills were still rough, but with their numbers, they were more than enough of a threat to an average knight or mage.

However…

“Sophia, come over here for a moment.”

“Huh!?”

Alvin pulled Sophia toward him with an expression of resignation.

Suddenly, Sophia felt a sense of discomfort. For some reason, the atmosphere turned chilly all of a sudden.

“Uh, this might be a little dangerous.”

Cecil also seemed to sense the premonition and leaped toward the audience.

Then, the moment Alvin lifted his foot…

All the students, along with the surroundings, were frozen over.

“Come to think of it…”

And then…

“Who can beat who? You guys should know your place before coming at me, idiots.”
