Two meters remaining.
 
When I said this at about that distance, Felter bared his teeth and raised both hands, bringing them down towards my head.
 
I discarded my wooden sword to receive this attack.
 
It was an attack where Felter put his whole body and soul into simply striking down, without stance or martial technique. It must have tremendous power.
 
My magic reflected it.
 
“Physical Reflection Material Reflect”
 
I whispered softly as I caught Felter’s attack with both palms.… Read more

 
“…It’s starting.”
 
At that moment, Strauss informed us that the battle was about to begin.
 
As if on cue, both sides started chanting their magic. Eliza walked backwards while chanting, while Felter chanted quietly on the spot.
 
Realizing she couldn’t afford to lose in chanting speed, Eliza activated her magic first.
 
“Sand Wall!”
 
As Eliza shouted, a wall of sand formed between her and Felter.
 
She then began chanting a new spell.… Read more

Chapter 6: Felter-Cain
 

 
Shenley blinked, repeatedly confirming the scene before her eyes.
 
No, it wasn’t just Shenley.
 
The surrounding students, and even Eliza, who was supposed to be the teacher, froze in the middle of the lesson, staring blankly at a single point.
 
Meanwhile, Rocks, who was the center of everyone’s attention, just sat silently in his chair, looking straight ahead.
 
When class began and his name was called, he responded. However, there was a lack of energy about him.… Read more

Aoi fell silent, sighed deeply, and then spoke.
 
“… Action Seal Freeze.”
 
Immediately after, magic was invoked and Rocks froze like a statue. Next to him, Felter, who had been observing silently, exhaled through his nose with his arms crossed.
 
Seeing the immobilized Rocks, Middleton gave instructions to the royal guards.
 
“Take him out.”
 
“Yes, sir!”
 
As the students and Speyside remained frozen, Rocks was solemnly escorted out by two royal guards.
 
Middleton raised his hand with a smile as if nothing had happened and addressed the classroom.… Read more

 
“That’s right. With just one of those relics, you could turn the tide of battle. It’s one of the four relics in our country.”
 
Aoi nodded several times and responded.
 
“…A relic.”
 
As she muttered this, Middleton looked at Aoi.
 
“The threat of relics lies in the fact that anyone with sufficient magical power can activate intermediate or higher-level magic. And without an incantation, at that. This can be used for assassinating important figures if the time and place are right.… Read more

Chapter 5: Parent-Teacher Conference
 

The rhythmic sound of footsteps on cobblestones, marching in mechanical unison. The high-pitched clang of metal against metal. And the hoofbeats of horses pulling a large carriage in the center.
 
The procession of knights, their rough sounds blending together, came to a halt in front of the academy. The knight at the lead dismounted gracefully from his horse and walked towards the reception.
 
“We’ve come from the royal capital.… Read more

“Of course. I’ve received various education from the talented individuals, court magicians, and knight commanders that the Verted Kingdom boasts, and I’m among the top students in this academy. I am proof of our country’s excellence.”
 
Hearing these words spoken with such confidence, I sighed deeply.
 
“If that’s the extent of it, then the Verted Kingdom won’t last long either. How disappointing.”
 
The moment I said that, Rocks charged at me, turning his anger directly into momentum.… Read more

 
“What pathetic guys.”
 
If they’re going to be scared of such things, they shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
 
“Move aside.”
 
Saying this, I push them away, causing a couple of the followers to fall over.
 
At the edge of the courtyard, there’s the groaning woman and Court, who’s shielding her while bleeding from his leg. Rocks looks down at the two and clicks his tongue.
 
“…To defy someone stronger without any real power.… Read more

[SIDE: Shenley]
 

I quietly take a seat at the edge of the classroom, trying to be as inconspicuous and silent as possible.
 
In this academy, magical ability is important, but so is one’s status as a noble. And the same goes for one’s race.
 
I was good at magic in the intermediate division. While my magical power wasn’t particularly strong, I was often told I learned quickly.
 
Maybe that’s why. I certainly had few friends, but I think I was normal in the intermediate division.… Read more

Chapter 4: Anger
 

The academy has senior instructors who excel in fire, water, wind, and earth magic, as well as healing magic. Their number is less than ten percent of the over hundred instructors.
 
Typically, mages who become senior instructors are deeply engaged in research. Publishing their findings and byproducts benefits both themselves and the academy.
 
Therefore, unlike regular instructors, senior instructors only teach classes one or two days a week at most.
 
In particular, Foar Perno Roses, the senior water instructor, is devoted to his research and only teaches a two-hour class once a week, barring exceptional circumstances.… Read more
