chapter 3
3 – My sister is… talking back?
Perhaps it was because I was with Lane, the exam came sooner than I thought.
What I did so far was really simple.
Eat, train, study, sleep.
I didn’t get out of this routine. There were times when we would fall asleep together while studying, but we worked so hard that we couldn’t even dream of sleeping properly.
If you think about it, I would have said that if the night work was too much for you, you would teach me to study like a maid.
I left it out because I thought I wouldn’t be able to study as it is, but I want to try it later when I go to the academy.
“Is it today?”
Lane took a deep breath and placed her hand on her chest.
“Are you nervous?”
“Right… To be honest, I was quite nervous.”
When I first went to take the entrance exam, I couldn’t sleep at night because of the tension and excitement, so there’s nothing I can’t understand.
It’s the arcade academy.
The number of grades is unconditionally set at 110, and if you want to be treated properly, you have to be at least B grade or higher, so in order to be treated well, you have to be in the top 30 among so many competitors.
As for the other party, the marquess, dukes, and even the princesses of the empire are entering the school this time, so there’s nothing wrong with worrying.
“it’s okay. From my point of view, if Rain shows his proper skills, he is sure to be A-class.”
But I don’t think Lane’s skills are inferior to them.
While working as a maid, she openly showed off her intellect as if to boast that she hadn’t neglected her studies.
As for the knowledge of mana and magic, befitting a wizard family, I meticulously memorized even the parts that I hadn’t paid much attention to in the past. The swordsmanship part lacked a lot, but I was able to fill that part.
From general common sense to arithmetic and history, honestly, it’s enough knowledge to call it S-class.
However, skill is also an issue.
In terms of strength and agility… It’s close enough to be able to deal with an A-class opponent, but it seems that he didn’t learn swordsmanship, but just wielded it consistently while holding the sword, so the basics were perfect.
As time goes by, having solid basic skills may help to link various techniques and skills, but it is difficult to beat proper swordsmanship in a situation where only the basic skills are perfect.
“But aren’t you sure you’re S-class, Bocchan?”
“Yeah, it is.”
He was arrogant to say the least, but he was confident enough.
The magic circuit hasn’t been properly pierced yet, and the body is soft compared to its heyday, but it’s not like I’m going to lose to a young student.
In the meantime, I went through all sorts of hardships to help them, not just fight on the battlefield, but if I fail the academy test like this, I should quit being a hero and run away with Rain.
“I want to study in the same place as you. It is not just about studying.”
“okay?”
I really like this aspect of Lane.
It’s good that he doesn’t give up, but he doesn’t try to hide his feelings for me at all.
‘They tried to hide it for some strange reason.’
No, it’s not a reason, it’s an excuse.
Ceres insisted on embarrassing me, Zenobia for preserving dignity, Prin for the duty of a saintess, and Lianne forcing me to assume the dignity of a family head.
It was extremely rare for him to send all his affection to me, and even when people were by his side, he kept a cold or expressionless expression.
Abominable years… .
“I wish you luck.”
Well, it won’t be relevant from now on, but it’s my loss if I pay attention.
Let’s focus on Lane for now.
The content of the academy’s entrance exam is divided into the swordsmanship department and the sorcery department, but the contents of both tests are random.
Moreover, even if I did a regression, the test contents were all different when I went with Ceres, when I went with Prin, and when I went with Lianne, so I can’t predict it either.
At least, it’s the content of the test that has the potential to help Rain rise to S-class… .
“The carriage has arrived!!”
As I recalled the contents of the test one by one, two wagons stopped in front of me with a clattering sound.
Wait, two?
“Are you going separately with me?”
“No, for this academy test, the Aryan lady is also taking the test.”
… Aryan?
As I was frowning at Ariane’s actions passing through my head, the person in question appeared from afar with her starry silver hair flying.
“Oh my, it’s been a while. Brother.”
how do i do that
“You seem to have ordinary magical powers that don’t match with dukes as usual.”
“Ah, Aryan… .”
My sister, Aryan, was arrogant at best, and boasted of a level of toughness at worst that she had flung at a nearby goblin.
In addition, even the family had an absurd background of being a primal duke of the empire, so this happened because they grew up without proper character education.
“Did you ever answer me?”
I haven’t even said it properly yet.
Aryan wrote small runes in the air as if he didn’t care about my thoughts.
Hwareuk!
And a sky-blue flame jumped out in front of my eyes.
“Wow… .”
As if seeing the blue flame for the first time, Lane took a step back in surprise.
In fact, objectively, my sister’s talent was great.
It is to the point of doubting that it is not the Primal family, which is known for having almost no fighting talent, but the son of the Reinhardt family, which is famous for magic.
Originally, a wizard who focused only on the fire attribute in his research has already created the blue flame at the age of 19, which only manifests when he is 3 to 40 years old, so his talent is overflowing.
“Then what will you do?”
“I beg your pardon?”
However, Aria’s blue flame, which was gifted and lived in self-interest every day, was too bright.
“If you want to do it, do it right.”
When I touched Ariane’s blue flame, I could clearly feel the magical power inside.
It is proof that the rune of stabilization was not inserted.
“If you don’t insert the stabilization rune properly, it will look like this.”
The magical power in Aryan’s blue flame is once decomposed into mana, and then follows my magic circuit and is replaced with my own magic power.
As expected, the quality of magic is excellent.
“And if it’s blue salt.”
It should be like this.
Runes were not drawn.
The blue flame, which was created by overworking the magic circuit a little and sending magic into the air, showed unexpected perfection, perhaps because it received Ariane’s magic.
“uh… ?”
The blue flame, closer to ultramarine than blue, gradually took shape without shaking like Ariane’s clumsy flame.
“sickle?”
“It’s better made than I thought.”
Even if the gloves were made through magical powers, the heat should be felt, but since I could hardly feel the heat, it seems that the heat was extruded better than I thought.
“uh… uh?”
“what’s the matter?”
“This can’t be… .”
Cold sweat ran down Ariane’s white forehead.
Well, from Ariane’s point of view, who has lived with the prejudice that swordsmen can’t handle magical powers, it must feel like his common sense is breaking.
In fact, magic was a very strange thing.
Depending on how you touch the mana scattered in the air, you create the shape of a chant, magic circle, or rune, which is a medium for the manifestation of magic.
And through that medium, he manifests the magic he wants to manifest.
However, it is very strange that if you put the magic of the air, you can omit the troublesome process such as runes or magic circles.
It was a coincidence that I had touched magic with the sense of dealing with aura before, but the effect was always the best.
“Aryan.”
“Awesome!!”
The scythe of ultramarine flames devours the blue flame Aryan was remaking.
Ariane, with an expression of disbelief, poured her magic power again to create blue flames, but the flames spread even more awkwardly, and even white flames fell apart.
Fire attribute magic had this characteristic.
A flame weaker than itself loses its heat.
It’s simple. The simple and clear fact that the flame Aryan created was weaker than mine and took away the heat.
“lie… .”
“You are talking like a lie.”
Aryan, in disbelief, stretched out his hand again and tried to manifest the rune, but I hurriedly blocked his hand.
If you make him use more magic here and now, he may not be able to demonstrate his skills in the entrance exam later and be eliminated.
That’s absolutely not the case.
When Arian enters the academy, he will do troublesome things such as collapsing order through alienation between the student council and inciting low-ranking students, but it is possible to solve it.
However, when he was blocked from entering the academy, he assassinated the head of the household and took the position of the head of the family himself.
Then, stealing people from other ducal families and dedicating important materials to the demon king, he ate away at the empire… Eventually, he even led a raid on the arcade academy where the buds of the empire were growing.
… Thanks to that, the first human I ever ben in my first life was a close friend at the academy, so I can’t forget it.
Now, the schedule of killing people is also simple, but back then I don’t know if I was suffering from trauma and locked myself in the dormitory for days and nights.
Also, if you think about it, it wasn’t the 4 people I liked who came to me back then, but the other academy cadets.
The more I think about it, the more I don’t know why I liked them.
I let out a sigh and reaped the scythe of flame, and absorbed even a little bit of mana through the mana circuit again.
On a good note, I recovered about 10%.
“Calm down and follow me.”
“Ah yes!!”
Lane came to his senses sooner than expected and got into the carriage after me.
Aryan… . He was still on the spot, unable to come to his senses, and stood like an idiot with his mouth open.
I plan to deal with the things Ariane will do this time as much as possible.
To be honest, if you don’t go to the point of murder, most of the solutions can be solved on my own line… .
“driving me crazy… .”
It’s the first time they’ve entered school together, so I can’t even imagine what the hell they’re going to do.
I quietly sighed and slowly got into the carriage heading towards the academy test site.
