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 5 : The Aftermath and New Friends!

Alvin is a mage.

Whether it’s because he inherited the blood of his mother, who is the former vice-commander of the Magic Corps, or due to his innate talent for ice attribute magic, Alvin had this ability. Unlike Cecil, who achieved impressive skills through pure effort and did not shame his family background, Alvin’s talent was purely from his lineage.

His father, currently serving as the commander of the Kingdom’s Royal Knight Order, had passed down his talents admirably.

Rarely does talent get inherited. It’s unscientific and lacks evidence to say that a person’s abilities can influence their child just because of genetics. However, Alvin, this young boy, miraculously inherited both talents.

Words like ‘Stain on the Duke’s Family’ or ‘Incompetent’ don’t suit him at all. He is probably the most talented man among the successive generations of the Astarea Ducal family.

—The knights witnessed such a side of him.

Among the knights directly under the academy, the most powerful is the vice-commander, Cecil. She is flawless even though she is an adopted heir. Louis, in a similar position, also has considerable strength.

But Alvin blew him away with just one kick. Moreover, at a speed that neither he nor those around him could react to.

“Sigh…”

Alvin received the attention of those around him.

He quietly exhaled and spoke to everyone…’

“W-What just happened!? Did that handsome guy suddenly get blown away!?”

[TL/N : Someone give this a Oscar for acting, LMAO]

“Al-kun, I don’t think that’s possible from onee-san’s perspective.”

Cecil stared at Alvin, who was deliberately trying to deceive her.

But only a little. Immediately, she flashed a smile like blooming flowers and embraced Alvin with all her might.

“As expected, Al-kun! Even though Louis should be strong, he got knocked out in one hit! It was a moment that left the viewers in awe!”

“The sudden blow that guy took was just… Nee-san, don’t hug me in front of everyone! Though it feels soft, I am a little happy and embarrassed!”

“For my sake, you got angry, right? Hehe~ my brother finally treated me as his princess!”

“Someone! Could you please spray weed killer on this flowerbed in my head? Teach them the reality that there’s no prince charming in our family!”

The indistinct chatter and commotion started around us, most of the students were baffled by the display of strength. Meanwhile Cecil was hugging Alvin with an aura of pink hearts surrounding her, and Alvin did not look entirely displeased.

….Well, it’s irritating.

It’s certainly frustrating, but it’s truly amazing nonetheless.

So, the knight apprentices around, praised him and showered him with compliments.

“Wow, that was amazing, creep!”

“Sorry for calling you the Duke family’s stain, scum!”

“As expected, being praised by the vice-commander makes a difference, trash!”

“Nee-san, let go! I have to show these guys the difference in strength, family background, and reality right now!!”

It doesn’t matter no matter how much he showed his abilities.

For the sake of the knight apprentices praising him, he had to show his strength again!

“So, Al-kun, congratulations! Everyone praised you, so now you can officially join the knight order—”

“Ahh! My body is freezing!”

“Was this guy a magician!?”

“But if we crush the Duke’s embarrassment here, the curse on the vice-commander will be lifted, and she’ll be the freed Snow White!”

“The vice-commander’s marriage is in our hands!”

“Bring it on if you can! I’ll teach you respect, dignity, and reality!”

“Come on! Someone, please enlighten these flower-filled brains about the lack of a white horse prince in reality!”

The knight apprentices were quite something, but both Alvin and Cecil were quite something too.

Alvin started disciplining the apprentice knights who were attacking him in an interview later, saying that he was used to gossip, but being openly ridiculed made him angry.

“… Well, it’s good that we can get along in some way.”

While Cecil puffed up her cheeks, a bit lonely, she kicked a nearby pebble as if sulking.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

“You all have already found it out so there’s no helping it. But if any of you reveal my abilities to anyone in the future, I’ll either keep punching you until your cheeks swell or turn you into an ice sculpture while you’re naked. Got it?”

“““Yes, Alvin-san.”””

Now, in just a few dozen minutes, the situation came to an end.

The knight apprentices, who had finally learned their places, were kneeling before Alvin.

“Onee-san is feeling a bit jealous, but I’m glad you seem to be getting along with them!”

Cecil smiled as she watched Alvin and the others getting along.

“It’s probably because the people here are different… Maybe the handsome guy over there is considered normal? Oh dear… he’s still out.”

“Hmm… What about him?”

“Do we need to wake him up?”

“I don’t want to. If he wakes up, he might start bad-mouthing Al-kun again.”

The man Alvin sent flying still showed no sign of getting up. However, Cecil seemed to have a low opinion of him, as she made no move to wake him.

“Hehe, but I’m happy! The members of the knight order have recognized Al-kun! I’m feeling really proud right now!”

“But I won’t join.”

“Why not!?”

“I don’t want to. I’m the type who thinks training is a hassle, and when I go home, I just want to sleep without any interruptions.”

Certainly, he didn’t dislike the people here. Even though he was used to being talked about behind his back, whether it felt good or not was another matter. Maybe being serious would be better? He might be told that, but that’s how it is. The appeal of a lazy life is stronger.

The people here, to put it in a negative way, are straightforward and honest. That’s more preferable. However, if the cost is wasting time and spreading his abilities, he shakes his head at the risk.

Alvin, in front of the kneeling knight apprentices, showed Cecil the bruises.

“Ugh! No way, I don’t want that! Al-kun not joining the knight order is just…!”

“Even if you say that, my will is as firm as steel.”

Cecil puffed her cheeks. Then, with a big sigh, she reluctantly put her hand on Alvin’s shoulder.

“Oh well… Onee-san didn’t want to use this move, but…”

“Wha-what? Are you going to do it? Are you going to threaten me with the danger of causing a domestic breakdown again? Just so you know, I won’t─”

“I’ll tell Dad.”

“From today onwards, I’m in your care.”

It was an immediate response.

“So everyone, when he enrolls, take care of Al-kun, okay?”

“We got you, Alvin-san!”

“A strong guy is always welcome!”
