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 7 : Touring the Academy!

Chapter 7 : Touring the Academy!

Of course, it’s a commonplace story, but sleeping three times is shallower than sleeping twice. Therefore, even Alvin, who is usually indulgent and received a comfortable pillow, woke up quickly.

“Fufu, your sleeping face… It was cute.”

“Argh, it’s embarrassing when I think about it!”

Although he was used to being seen by family members, Alvin, who suddenly remembered that it’s embarrassing to be seen sleeping by others, blushed.

Currently, Alvin was exploring the inside of the academy building while walking beside Layla.

Apparently, it was suggested that it might be better to see the academy if they’re going in anyway. Alvin had been thinking of strolling in the capital after leaving the academy, but perhaps there was resistance to meeting close acquaintances and going elsewhere. So, he agreed to the proposal.

However, since he wasn’t particularly interested, they were just walking and having a normal conversation.

“By the way, Layla, what year are you in?”

“What does it look like to you?”

“…Don’t answer me with a question. If I think about it, maybe the upper years.”

“The correct answer is the second year~♪”

“…Layla, we’ve never had a proper conversation, have we?”

Whether he wanted an answer or not, Alvin wished Layla would make it clear.

“You don’t have to say such cold things. We’ve finally met after a long time.”

“Haha, you seem to lack memory too? We met just the day before yesterday with the bandit incident. Looks like you don’t have enough calcium, baby—”

At that moment, there was a sound like a bone popping from Alvin’s shoulder.

“…My shoulder was dislocated so cleanly at a speed I couldn’t react to.”

“Don’t say disrespectful things to a lady.”

“Are there no decent ladies around me…!”

While glaring at the culprit Layla, Alvin put his dislocated shoulder back in. The familiar feeling in his hands seemed to reveal the frequency of his dislocations. Layla, who swiftly took his shoulder off and demonstrated it, also showed her level of experience.

“Well, you’ll probably have to meet even if you don’t want to, so I’ll spare you today. Be careful not to say impolite things to a lady next time, okay?”

“Hmm? Oh, we’ll meet at the academy, right?”

Certainly, if they attend the same academy, they’ll inevitably meet. When they were associates for information, if there were no notifications, they wouldn’t have to meet.

“But… I’m a member of the knight order, too.”

“Ah, I see.”

“I see…?”

“That’s what those bastards were talking about.”

If you join the knight order, you can meet cute girls.

He had thought that’s what they meant, reasoning that they must have been referring to the fact that they always encountered attractive girls on their missions. However, he hadn’t considered that it meant there were actually cute girls among their ranks.

So, Alvin understood why they had said such things.

“Could it be that, aside from Layla, there are other girls too?”

He felt a bit more motivated. Perhaps because he had been avoided by the daughters of noble families in social circles as a stain on the duke’s family, Alvin had little contact with girls. It was not unreasonable for him to show interest when someone mentioned cute girls.

“There are, but…”

“Oh, you have my attention!”

“But that is only your sister?”

“Tch.”

Alvin’s enthusiasm dropped instantly.

“It can’t be helped. Originally, a job like a knight is for men, and it’s rare for ladies like Cecil-san and me to join.”

“I feel depressed. I didn’t know that the flower blooming among those disgusting bastards is a rose.”

“Oh, are you praising me?”

She acknowledges that she’s cute, but there are thorns, he thought. That was the intention behind the statement, but if he said more, he would have to put his dislocated shoulder back again, so he closed his mouth. Certainly, she’s cute, but when it comes to acquaintances, Alvin’s expectations tend to decrease.

“I understand my sister’s circumstances, but why did Layla join the knight order? Are you looking for a marriage partner?”

“I don’t want to be a part of picture-perfect harem. It’s just that my family is from a knight lineage. I’ll tell you, though, my title is a viscount.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Moreover…”

Layla leans in a bit towards Alvin. And in a small voice, she says in his ear.

“I already have someone I like.”

Alvin heard those words and his expression became serious. Why did Layla say that in his ear? Furthermore, why are her cheeks slightly red… He understood the reason. That’s why Alvin grabbed Layla’s shoulder and looked straight into her crimson eyes.

“Hey, wait…?”

“I see, so that’s what it is…”

“W-what do you mean…?”

“I’m sorry for not noticing until now…”

“Why did you suddenly grab my shoulder?”

But more importantly, Alvin, who seemed to sense something, left Layla bewildered.

“You’ve mustered the courage to tell me all this.”

“…..!”

“In that case, I’ll give you a serious answer.”

And then—

“I’ll wholeheartedly support your love for that person—?!”

Layla slapped him across the face with all her might.

“Ouch! I’ve been slapped by my parents before, but this hurts normally!”

“Shall we try it again?”

“Why? I always want to be helpful to Layla!”

A second dry sound echoed. It might seem absurd to do such a thing to the son of a duke, but Alvin treated Layla just like any other girl. It was evidence of their close relationship. However, at this moment, he found her attitude annoying.

“Well… your dullness is nothing new, and considering your family background, there are various issues. I’ll forgive you for this.”

“…Thank you. I’d like to praise you for being able to slap someone from the duke’s family without mercy, but thanks.”

Especially for the clueless Alvin, who didn’t even know the cause, this punishment might be considered light for trampling on a maiden’s heart.

At that moment, a bell-like sound echoed throughout the entire academy building.

“Oh, it seems like the class is over already.”

“I-I see… Well, I should probably be going soon. If the scum of the duke’s family is discovered here, it might cause a stir or make me feel uncomfortable.”

“I thought you were the type who didn’t care about that kind of thing?”

“If it were just me. But now Layla is here, and I can’t make you feel uncomfortable.”

Layla puffed her cheeks, seemingly irritated, even though she didn’t need to be.

However, her small kindness made Alvin happy, and he smiled slightly.

“So, I’ll take my leave around here—”

Just as he was about to say that, Alvin’s shoulder was suddenly tapped.

“Hey, Al-kun… who is that girl?”

There stood a girl with no highlights in her eyes, a very scary older sister.

“Hahaha! It’s a coincidence, nee-san! We’ll part ways here!”

Alvin reflexively, at an almost alarming speed, left the corridor… or rather, threw himself out of the window and hurriedly distanced himself from the spot.

This was the third floor of the school building. But he didn’t seem to care.

However, the one chasing him didn’t care either.

“I won’t let you escape!”

The sister who appeared from behind also jumped out of the window to chase after him.

The students who had finished class and appeared in the hallway showed signs of amazement at this unusual sight.

On the other hand, Layla, who knew Alvin well, couldn’t help but sigh.

By the way, it’s a side note that rumors spread about the daughter of the duke jumping out of the window and going insane.
