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 24 : Second day of joining

Alvin faced the next day without getting any closer to the truth of the sudden disappearances.

Perhaps due to his activities at night, his eyelids felt exceptionally heavy.

Before attending the academy, he could sleep carelessly regardless of the sunrise, but now such luxury was no longer feasible.

Furthermore, the knights had early morning training before regular classes.

As a result, Alvin found himself heading to the training grounds with his mind not fully awake.

“…..”

“Well, it’s another beautiful day today.”

“Um, well…”

“On days like this, I wish you could let me sleep a little longer.”

“Uh, Alvin-san…”

Timidly, Sophia, changed into her exercise clothes, inquired.

“What’s up, Sophia?”

“No… that is…”

Alvin, whose mind was not functioning well, saw Sophia glancing at him, and she looked like an angel.

Currently, everyone was waiting for everyone to gather at the training grounds.

With nothing to do, a yawn escaped Alvin.

Towards Alvin, Sophia said,

“Why are you wearing your sleepwear…?”

Hearing this, Alvin glanced down at his clothes.

Certainly, his attire was different from Sophia and the other knight apprentices. Even with his hazy consciousness, he could understand that he was wearing the same outfit he had on when he went to sleep.

“Well, it’s because when I woke up, I was in the middle of the training ground, obviously.”

“You slept at the training ground!?”

Though it was a brief explanation, since Alvin wouldn’t wake up, Cecil, as in the previous instance, put him on a carriage.

She thought that he might wake up just in time, but he didn’t… So, Cecil had no choice but to transport him to the training ground to avoid being late.

That was the truth behind Alvin’s sleepwear.

“I understand Sophia’s concern.”

“W-Well… everyone is about to gather, so maybe you should change—”

“But, I think it’s not embarrassing to wear it because it’s a slightly fashionable sleepwear.”

“Don’t you think that is embarrassing?”

No one seemed to be concerned about the outfit itself.

“Al-kun!”

At that moment, Cecil arrived with a big smile, waiting at the edge of the training ground.

In her hands were what appeared to be brand new sportswear, and it was easy to imagine that it was for Alvin to change into.

“It’s not good, Al-kun. You really need to change, you know?”

“It can’t be helped. When I woke up, I was in the middle of the training ground.”

“How was the comfort of your sleep? I could only bring the sheets, so I was worried about Al-kun’s sleep.”

“I had no problem because you also brought the pillow.”

“I feel like the only problem here is only your attire…”

Indeed, it was a reasonable concern.

“More importantly, it’s about to start, so change quickly! If you keep that appearance, you’ll get scolded by Lise-chan for sure.”

“Okay, got it. I recall the lecture from last time in my mind.”

“Ah, should nee-san help you to—”

“Just bringing it is already helpful, thank you!”

Alvin stopped Cecil just as she was about to pull his pants down.

He made sure not to let his guard down whenever he was near Cecil.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Then, the sound of a horn echoed.

“Attention!”

“Yes!… Yes!… Yes!…”

“Attention!”

“Yes!… Yes!… Yes!…”

Early morning training was relatively short, so the schedule could be completed in a relatively short time.

Starting with running, followed by strength training and sword practice. This routine continued until twenty minutes before the start of classes.

Now it was the running time.

Not only Cecil but also Liselotte and the vice-captain Louis, who joined later, were discussing something near the entrance to the training ground. Probably planning for future activities.

On the other hand, Alvin and Sophia, who were in the rookie category, were running at the edge of the training ground with the knights, shouting slogans.

“Why am I doing this…! Running in a lazy life is absolutely unnecessary!”

“Haah… Haah… Let’s do our best, Alvin-san…”

“Good luck and do your best, Sophia!”

Alvin gritted his teeth while running, and Sophia panted, looking distressed.

New recruits seemed to have a tough time for various reasons.

“By the way, why is Sophia running with me? You are a recovery healer, and you don’t really need to do this, right?”

“Even as a recovery healer, stamina is necessary. There’s also the possibility of something happening unexpectedly, so we don’t divide things like that.”

Layla, running alongside Sophia, answered his question.

While her lustrous red hair was tied and the sweat dripping from her neck somehow attracted his attention, Alvin thought, “Beautiful women are like oases for the heart,” while glancing sideways.

“Come on, Sophia. We have ten more laps, so hang in there.”

“Hai…!”

And Sophia, with all her might, ran cutely.

Her swaying assets were charming enough to make one want to support her.

“Alvin-san, it’s your turn next!”

“it’s time to—”

“Wait.”

Just with one word, they stopped.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not— hold on… Don’t crush my head…!”

Layla released her hand from his head and sighed.

Meanwhile, Sophia, who was running with all her might, seemed not to have heard such harassment.
