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 30 : Forbidden Technique

In the end, Alvin decided to purchase the dresses and outfits recommended by Layla and Sophia.

He had been thinking for a long time but realized he could just buy both outfits and give them as gifts.

Money wasn’t an issue since he had accumulated plenty from his usual idle lifestyle. Spending a bit now wasn’t a problem.

Additionally, he decided to buy clothes for Layla and Sophia as well.

Of course, the clothes for Sophia, who was desperately trying to decline, were chosen by Layla, and the ones for Layla, who blushed, were carefully selected by Alvin.

Before he knew it, the sun had completely set.

The stalls began to close, and the bustling atmosphere they had seen while walking around had quietly disappeared.

“Well then, I’ll go ahead and buy the clothes we chose.”

“How will you get home?”

“My carriage is scheduled to come at the appointed time. How about you?”

“Sophia and I will head back to our house in the royal capital. We don’t need a carriage.”

“That makes sense.”

He considered offering to escort them since it was late at night, but saying “I’ll take you home” might make them feel obliged.

Even though he was returning to the duchy where his parents’ house was, Alvin lived the farthest away.

Moreover, with the two of them together, they would be safe. Layla had self-defense skills, and their home was nearby.

Excessive concern would only inconvenience them.

“It would be nice to have a teleportation spell in times like these.”

“Such spells do exist, but aren’t they forbidden?”

“Huh? What do you mean by forbidden spells?”

Just as Sophia began to feel sleepy, she joined the conversation.

“Forbidden spells are magic that’s prohibited across the continent. They’re powerful, immense, and extremely convenient. Depending on the spell, it can instantly alter terrain or teleport objects to another location.”

“Wow, that’s amazing… But why are they forbidden?”

“Forbidden spells always come with a price when used. It could be oneself or another person. That’s why in ancient times, when forbidden spells were widespread, many magicians died. The cost could be losing a part of one’s body or causing lifelong harm to another.”

Nowadays, forbidden spells are banned in all countries on the continent and have almost vanished. However, there was a time in ancient history when forbidden spells were synonymous with magic.

But that didn’t last long.

All magicians faced consequences that ultimately destroyed themselves and others.

Recognizing this danger, the rulers of the past strictly banned the use of forbidden spells.

“That’s terrifying…”

“There are only references in old texts now. In fact, it’s questionable whether forbidden spells even exist. So, it’s no wonder Sophia didn’t know about them.”

“You think so, even as a magician?”

“Precisely because I’m a magician. The more I think about it, the more I realize that the forbidden spells in the texts are beyond practical use.”

Sophia gulped and took a deep breath.

As a magician, she was unaware of such spells. Just imagining it made her shiver.

“Well, there’s no point in discussing this. It’s time to head home. I’ll go pay for the clothes now, so you can go ahead.”

“I also have someone to talk to for a moment.”

“Who? A man?”

“Don’t be jealous. It’s just my subordinate who has been investigating the stalls.”

“I-I’m not jealous! No way!”

Alvin quickly retreated into the store hiding his embarrassment.

Layla, after telling Sophia to wait there for a moment, also walked away.

Sophia was now left alone, not knowing the situation.

‘Ah… everyone has left.’

Sophia looked down, appearing somewhat lonely.

Alvin and Layla would soon return, but being alone on a quiet night was unsettling.

Just then…

“Miss, miss.”

A voice called out from behind.

Turning around, she saw a small stall with a robed figure beckoning her.

Was there such a stall before?

Thinking that, Sophia walked toward the beckoning stall.

“Is something the matter?”

“Well, I have some leftover products. I was wondering if you’d like to have them.”

The robed figure handed her a small bag of cookies.

Indeed, at this hour, there wouldn’t be any customers. If the goods didn’t sell, they might have to be discarded.

And they looked delicious.

“Is it okay?”

“Yes, I won’t charge anything. They won’t spoil immediately, but I can’t finish them all by myself and would hate to waste them.”

“In that case, I’ll gladly accept them!”

Sophia carefully put the unexpectedly received cookies into her pocket.

She bowed deeply and turned away from the stall. Layla had told her to wait there, so she couldn’t stray far.

However, she turned to look back at the stall out of curiosity.

“Huh?”

But the stall and the robed figure were gone.

Even though she could still feel the delicious cookies in her pocket.
