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 15 : Surprise!
Chapter 15 : Surprise!
….And then, Alvin became the hottest topic of conversation in the class.
Everyone present witnessed a glimpse of his true abilities.
Even those aiming to become magicians themselves immediately came to the conclusion that they simply couldn’t compete with him, upon seeing his prowess. He was just way out of their league.
If one had any sense left, they wouldn’t dare belittle him as ‘incompetent’.
However, the true extent of his abilities was something only those who had seen him could understand.
Even if students in the class conveyed the message to friends in other classes, they would be met with skepticism, “Are you joking?”
Nevertheless, there were some students who found it convenient.
If nobody approached him, it made it easier for them to approach.
The academy is a place for personal growth but also a social arena for expanding connections.
Someone who was previously disregarded might possess an extraordinary level of skill.
A position fitting for ingratiating oneself with the Duke’s family.
It wasn’t unreasonable for people to try to establish connections by any means necessary.
However, for now, no one had attempted to approach him.
After all, he had been sleeping all day today.
“Alvin-san… Alvin-san…”
In the midst of this, finally, one student spoke to the sleeping Alvin.
Alvin, whether awakened by the voice or not, slowly raised his head.
“In front of me is an angel… Could it be that I’ve finally made it to Eden?”
“Oh, come on, are you still half-asleep?”
The angel, or rather, Sofia, puffed up her cheeks.
It was so cute that Alvin had an extremely disheveled face.
“It’s over, you know?”
“My three years of peaceful life at the academy are over…”
“It doesn’t mean you’re graduating, right!?”
Upon hearing a somewhat charming voice, Alvin gradually woke up.
Finally, he looked around and returned to reality.
“Oh, the class is over.”
“You’ve been sleeping the whole time, Alvin-san. Napping during class isn’t a good idea!”
“Oh, right… Sofia is diligent, huh?”
“Hehe~, well, that’s… Huh!”
Sofia suddenly realized that she was being treated like a child.
Alvin, a bit late, realized the fact that such an adorable girl actually existed.
“Then, I have to go to the Knight Order.”
“Huh? Are you joining the Knight Order too, Alvin-san?”
“It’s a common story, but I was a bit threatened by nee-san. So, I decided to join.”
“…How close is the threat to your life?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no danger to my life!”
It’s just that the collapse of his life is being triggered.
“Huh? Come to think of it, you just said ‘too’…”
“Hehe~! Actually, I’m thinking of joining the Knight Order too!”
Alvin tilted his head, looking at Sofia who proudly declared it.
He wondered if she was an unusual recovery-focused magician?
Seeing Alvin pondering that question, Sofia began to explain.
“Just because I’m a magician doesn’t mean I can’t join the Knight Order, you know? Alvin-san, you can do that too, right?”
“Well, I have the option for both…”
“I think Alvin-san should show a bit more motivation.”
It’s just a waste of talent, and Alvin couldn’t help but complain inwardly, which is unusual for Sofia.
“In my case, my main role is healing support, so there’s always demand wherever I go. In places where there’s a duty to protect someone by going to the forefront, injuries are inevitable. Of course, I can’t become a knight, but…”
In simple terms, she was entering to perform rear support.
There’s no unit that doesn’t need support. Whether it’s the Knight Order or the Magician’s Guild, if everyone fights in the front, injuries are inevitable.
People providing such support are valuable and often in high demand.
Sofia is trying to join the Knight Order to fit into that role.
“I need to work to repay the borrowed tuition fees. If I join the Knights Order, I’ll receive a certain amount of salary!”
“But wouldn’t it be better to join the Mage Guild? The Academy has a Mage Guild too, right? It could also be an opportunity to study magic and increase your skills.”
“I thought about that too, but the Knights work a larger scale, so I can earn more money…”
“I see…”
The Mage Guild affiliated with the Academy is surprisingly small. Magic ability is heavily influenced by magical power, making magicians valuable. Additionally, magicians usually attack from behind, limiting job opportunities and earning less money than the Knights, who take the forefront.
“Besides, I heard that I have an acquaintance there.”
“Really? That’s reassuring.”
“My acquaintance is amazing! They can dislocate the opponent’s shoulder in an instant!”
“I’m more worried about Sofia.”
The reassuring factors seem too specific.
“And I just heard that Alvin-san is also going there, so my anxiety disappeared at once!”
‘Ah, she is too dazzling.’
Seeing Sofia’s bright smile, Alvin unconsciously covered his eyes.
“So, why don’t we go together?! They’re having an orientation for Knight recruits today!”
“I was already invited there long ago… Haah… Alright, let’s go together.”
Honestly, it’s a bit of a hassle to go. Alvin would rather go home right away to play or sleep. However, having Sofia next to him lifted his somewhat gloomy mood.
Alvin moved his lightened steps and headed to the training ground with Sofia.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
When they arrived at the training ground, Sofia immediately spotted an acquaintance and rushed over.
“Layla-san!”
“Oh, if it isn’t Sofia. So, you’re joining the Knights after all.”
After all, the world is surprisingly small, isn’t it? Alvin thought.
