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 14 : The Aftermath!

Chapter 14 : The Aftermath!

What just happened?

Those were the first words that came to everyone’s mind.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence… or maybe he had trained his body a little more than others. The boy, one of the students who had honed his skills with the goal of becoming a knight, was filled with questions in his fading consciousness.

His body felt cold. The view seemed as if obstructed by thin glass. Yet, he couldn’t move a single muscle.

Standing in his hazy field of vision were other students, who were now in the same state as himself.

Then slowly, a white breath escaped… from the incompetent son of Duke Astarea.

‘That’s absurd…! He casted a spell of this scale without an incantation!?’

Fundamentally, magic requires an incantation. It is necessary to firmly imprint the intended event into magical power.

The more precise the incantation, the more powerful the magic that can be cast, and the fewer people can handle it.

However, occasionally… Those with talent might skip the incantation process.

This is because the image of the event they want to create is vivid in their minds. Even if an ordinary person with magical power attempts it without talent, nothing will happen.

Incantation-less magic is proof of talent for a magician.

However, even among those with talent, handling magic that requires a detailed image is difficult, and they can only perform relatively simple spells.

Despite that, the man in front of him demonstrated it.

Moreover, a seemingly inept boy from the prominent Duke’s family—

‘Is what Cecil-sama said true…?’

He is stronger than himself.

Cecil likes Alvin, his younger brother; he knew that. At first, he thought it was just favoritism showing.

But after witnessing this scene, he had to revise his perception.

‘This is the real Alvin Astarea…’

And… The boy slowly lost consciousness.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The boy was not the only one who was surprised after witnessing Alvin’s ability.

‘Ah… that was amazing, Al-kun.’

Cecil, who somehow managed to escape to the audience seats, had a wry smile on her face.

In front of her, an expanse of ice spread out mercilessly, swallowing up the students while reflecting the sunlight and sparkling. Although it was a sight to behold, the reality of it, covering the entire training ground in an instant, was astonishing.

‘Who would win between Mom and him? Would they have had a good match if she were in her peak time?’

In Cecil’s mind, the image of her retired mother appeared.

Cecil is a knight and unfamiliar with magic. How would her mother, who would still be in her active days, react to the scene in front of her?

No, more importantly—

‘The issue is when I seriously spar with him.’

Considering Alvin’s personality, he probably wouldn’t seriously spar with her.

He was really lazy and possessed such incredible strength, yet had no desire in flaunting it. It was not just humility, he simply did not want to stand out. He was like a completely hidden treasure.

‘Argh… as an older sister…’

Even so, Cecil prided herself on being the second strongest in the academy.

Without a doubt, there was no one in their age group who could be considered an enemy, and thanks to this strength, she became the vice-captain of the knight order.

However, seeing Alvin’s ability again like this made her realize how small this world had been.

Could she win against that person? Suddenly, she thought about it.

And then—

“Wow, Al-kun, you’re so cool… You haven’t changed at all.”

After all, Cecil was a bit of a maiden herself.

As she watched Alvin embracing the girl while exhaling white breath, she blushed faintly.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

“You may not move for a while, but take it easy.”

Sofia heard those words nearby.

When she looked up, she saw the face of the boy she had just met today. While the side of the body she was hugging was warm due to his body temperature, the back felt as cold as if on icy ground.

—She couldn’t understand what had happened for a moment.

Suddenly embraced by him, when Alvin took a step forward… the surroundings other than where they were, began to freeze all at once.

Like ripples spreading when water is poured from above.

The ripple of ice struck the training ground, mercilessly engulfing the approaching students.

‘Is this person…?’

Sofia’s impression of Alvin was that he was a kind person.

Yet, interesting and fun to be with. Warm enough to feel reassuring. But other than that, she thought he was no different from herself.

He was ridiculed by others around him, but he was same as everyone else. He would work hard together and grow.

But was that really necessary?

Because he was already complete—

“Oh, are you feeling cold?”

With his usual playful tone, Alvin asked.

“N-No! I’m fine!”

“Really? Well then, let’s hurry back to the classroom. It’s impossible to continue like this.”

Saying that, Alvin released his hold on Sofia.

She felt a bit lonely, but Sofia shook off the sudden wish that came to her mind, flapping her hands.

“But still, I messed up… just as nee-san had expected. If I had carried the normal way, I would have been completely fooled.”

The figure of Alvin walking ahead seemed somewhat dejected.

He had done something incredible. Instead of boasting, he seemed sad.

It was hard to understand. But Sofia wanted to encourage him—

“Um, excuse me!”

“Hmm?”

“That was amazing… n-no, it was really cool!”

Whether it was embarrassing to say it directly, Sofia’s cheeks were slightly tinted at that moment.

Hearing those words, Alvin showed a momentarily dumbfounded expression, then quickly smiled.

“… Well, let’s consider it a good thing to be praised by a cute girl. A beautiful girl’s compliment is like a fortune to a man.”

Sofia was happy that Alvin said that.

So, teasingly, she ran up to Alvin, who was about to leave, and showed him her smile once again.

[TL/N : Girl really trying to rizz him up.]
