Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

71 – That’s…. The flames are similar to the knight of the embers….

A treatment center at Merchen Academy.

Trixie was lying on the bed alone in a place too large for only one student.

Fortunately, it’s the weekend. Therefore, there is no lecture, but right now I am worried about the preliminaries of the subjugation system. Because there are only three days left.

“Ugh….”

Trixie gritted her teeth in pain. This was the natural result of his body being abused so much.

The clinic staff stressed it over and over again as if angry. Never use such reckless magic again.

By now, all the other students must have known about it.

Starting with the simple story that Trixie passed out, there may be rumors going around that the blue flames aren’t much.

But what bothered me the most right now was not the rumors, but the plan itself.

“… I abstained.”

This is also a fact that I heard through the staff at the clinic. The girl recalled the confrontation with Plan as she remembered it.

During the confrontation, Plan asked Trixie a question.

At first, I thought it was a nefarious ploy to gain an upper hand by just messing around, but in reality it wasn’t like that at all.

Genius, wizard, true elegance…. All of these were questions that ran through the heart of Trixie.

But even so.

Whether Trixie realized something of her own or pushed herself beyond her limits. It has absolutely nothing to do with winning or losing.

There was no reason for Plan to abstain. If he could beat Trixie, he’d just have to win.

He dared to abstain. As if the confrontation had a purpose other than winning or losing.

“Whoa.”

I let out a deep sigh in my complicated mind.

As of now, there is no speculative purpose or reason at all. One thing is certain, however, that Plann would not have withdrawn because of his poor performance.

[ *Teaching Auction ]

[ ▷ Trixie von Fritz. ]

[ ▷ Congratulations on becoming my disciple. ]

Anyway, the remaining result was victory. As such, the evidence remained in Trivia.

Being able to become a disciple of Mr. Gak-cham is something I have longed for, but I haven’t been able to reply yet.

The question of whether I truly won——was making my hands waver.

Should I be happy with the result of winning?

But can we truly say we won this?

What the hell is Plan thinking about?

My head is complicated. His thoughts that had lost their way kept wandering in place without being able to catch the direction.

By the way.

Even at this moment when her body and thoughts were in a mess, Trixie felt a sense of relief for unknown reasons.

No, she knows why she is so relieved.

She knew exactly how to proceed.

You will no longer be hesitant to be conscious of other people’s eyes. I will not confine myself to a set frame, and I have no intention of being dragged around by anything.

A true flame must be like that.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts.

First of all, just feeling it is enough. Any questions about Mr. Gyo-soo, or any questions about flan, should all be met in person and asked.

Trixie covered Trivia. On the luxurious leather cover, Jasmine, the symbol of the Fritz family, was drawn.

The girl gently touched it with her hand.

Memories of my mother, the responsibility of the next head of household…. Countless emotions pass through the mind and the mood becomes profound.

“Me.”

She licked her lips and quietly covered her eyelids.

I can’t get out of bed today anyway. So just close your eyes and organize your thoughts and that will be enough.

“I will work harder in the future.”

As Fritz’s next head of household, as a disciple of Mr. Gachi, and as the representative of the subjugation system.

It was the first resolution that a wizard spat out.

◈

Elijah’s office, editorial department of Merhin Daily.

Grim Reaper, Reaper, Crazy Dog…. With such a nickname, she is a journalist from the article department of the Marchen Daily.

And this time around, I was appointed as a manager.

In a space created just for her, Eliza sits in front of a row of employees.

Straight short hair, shirt, skirt, shoes…. The unified black color naturally reminded her of a death god, but what she is currently holding in her hand is not a scythe, but a wad of paper.

“Ha ha.”

She let out her sigh. This large amount of paperwork is all about flan.

“Is this the end? Really?”

Eliza asked, flapping her wad of paper.

Plan.

A comet from the Faculty of Magic who suddenly appeared and won the first event in the Sword Master Festival, and a student who caught Elijah’s attention. She’s been anxious to find out about flan lately.

“Yes. I only picked out the things that I thought were important.”

“… And. It’s really important. It has nutritional value. It’s something that could turn the whole knight faculty upside down. What is the academy doing? I don’t use these as textbooks.”

“….”

The team leader’s shoulders shrank at the blatant sarcasm.

However, from Eliza’s point of view, she was only angry. So many papers had been gathered, but not a single piece of new information.

Performance trends, remarks, routines and patterns…. This means that you already know all these things.

“When the day is over, I stay in the dormitory and don’t leave. That’s why we deserve to cover….”

“Even that is what I know. It’s okay.”

Eliza waved her hand away.

Let’s write only articles that will be a big topic. It was she who worked with the exact opposite convictions of sepia.

“Well, by the way.”

There is still one question left in Elijah’s mind. She looked around her line staff side by side.

“Hey, are the three of you really planning to go to the Punishment?”

“Yes?”

“The subjugation system is a group of four people. Do you really think that the Faculty of Magic will compete with three people?”

It is nonsense to go out with three people.

However, with only three days remaining, it didn’t feel possible to select one additional person and work together.

The staff shook their heads.

“Either way…. It seems a bit absurd.”

“In the first place, there are three first-year students.”

“Right? I think so too.”

Somewhere in Eliza’s mind, there was something that caught her jaw.

“What I care about is the flan…. I’m going to have to send out articles soon….”

While composing this and that provocative content, I suddenly came across Elijah’s thoughts.

A topic that is so easy and primitive that spectators ahead of the match can’t help but be interested.

‘Who will win?’

The preliminaries for the subjugation system are conducted in a tournament format, and the principle is that 4 players compete 1:1.

You can advance to the finals by defeating just one group, but well. Those whom the Faculty of Magic would deal with were by no means an easy group.

Elijah looked at Joe, who was about to compete against the Faculty of Magic, and asked the staff.

“How much can the Faculty of Magic show?”

“Another difficult question…. Oh no. Because I’m stupid….”

“So, how much can the Faculty of Magic do against the four siblings of the Faculty of Knights? Make a prediction.”

With those words, the employees began to think seriously.

It’s not because it’s difficult to draw conclusions, it’s because I don’t know how refined I should be.

“… You can never win right? How do you beat your brother and sister?”

The youngest reporter had the courage to break his silence.

Everyone nodded. It is a fact that must be established as a premise.

Eliza rubbed her chin.

“Is there any chance that the Faculty of Magic will win?”

“Eliza, they have a different way of thinking.”

“I just finished the midterm evaluation, but the disciplinary committee has been held six times.”

Four siblings in the second year of the Faculty of Engineering.

These four men and women are not blood-mixed, but they always hang out together and each uses a different sword, so they naturally came to be called four brothers and sisters.

Greatswords, swords, rapiers, deformed swords resembling needles, plus swordsmanship skills and unique abilities…. Certainly, it would be difficult for a freshman in the Faculty of Magic to deal with.

“Then what about the plan?”

“Ah, that guy…. Dangerous.”

It’s dangerous. At the words of the conductor, all the staff looked at him with their eyes wide open.

The conductor hurriedly shook his hand.

“Oh, I made a mistake. Sorry.”

“No. No. Continue. Ignore them.”

The reaction of the staff in Eliza was not the same. I’m looking at the subject that I can’t even work like that.

Eventually, the conductor hesitated again and opened his mouth.

“Yes. Once I observed his fire element….”

The conductor, who was hastily flipping through a wad of papers, suddenly began to pay attention to the staff. It is the eyes that have pondered over whether or not to say it a thousand times.

“Observed…. Bar….”

“What are you wasting time on? Don’t notice.”

“That…. The flames are similar to the knight of the embers….”

There was a chilly silence at those words.

After a while.

The team leader hit the conductor’s head with a loud bang.

“Oh!”

The conductor immediately grabbed his head.

“Yanmar. Are you crazy? There is nothing else to compare. Where… !”

“Yeah, but surprisingly it’s real. This guy really…. He’s a weirdo That’s why I said it was dangerous.”

“Stop both.”

Eliza raised his hand to stop him.

She thought of flan. It’s true that the guy kept bothering me.

The fact that he won against Ivan, and the fact that he showed no resentment against Blue Flame….

‘Is it okay to expose the power as it is?’

If you really want to achieve something in the subjugation system, it would be an unconditional benefit to hide your skills at this time when there are many reporters.

‘… Or is this even a fully calculated move?’

Either way is interesting and unusual. It was clear that he was the one who should be left ‘off the table’.

So there must be some truth in what the conductor said.

“Ummm….”

A fire element resembling a knight of embers. A subjugation festival in which the Faculty of Magic boasts of winning. The opponent is a controversial sibling….

Even if you use it as it is, topicality is guaranteed.

Exactly!

After snapping his fingers happily, Eliza shouted.

“Okay. Everyone get off work.”

“Huh!”

“Yes!”

Employees left the office in an instant, and Eliza began to move his hands busily.

This is why I can’t quit my job as a journalist.

◈

“Really?”

“Ph, flan! Really? Did you select one more person?”

The next morning, the training ground.

Becky and Louis ask back to Plan. It was because of the remark that the last member of the subjugation system was selected.

“….”

Becky gulped and looked at Flan.

Actually, Becky is the one who pays attention the most these days. Because she had so many who questioned that she had been chosen as her representative.

“It’s a bit lacking, but I decided to take it.”

At that moment, Becky unconsciously felt relieved.

“Mo, the poor guy! Really?”

“Yes.”

“Heh, hehehehe….”

Becky was of the mind that it would be better if someone who lacked something came in. Then the two of us will be able to shoulder this heavy burden.

Plan continued calmly.

“I have needlessly strong pride, my magic is still weak, and I have a couple of flaws…. Let’s take care of each other.”

“Ha ha ha.”

With that laugh, Plan looked at Becky. The girl smiled and replied.

“Well then. Be friendly and depend on each other. Of course you should stay like that~”

Leaving aside the delighted Becky, Plan glanced at the blue lighted trivia.

[ ▶ Thank you… ! ]

[ ▶ But I have something to tell you! ]

[ ▶ I’m trying to do the preliminary round myself! ]

[ ▶ I’m going to do it really nicely. ]

[ ▶ At that time…. Please meet me! ]

[ ▶ Be sure to use it! ]

And without even knowing it, he made a satisfied expression.

This contact came from a wizard with a lot of determination, instead of a kid who was tightly confined to a frame.

Have you grown up? That’s a bit odd

And then. The training ground door opened.

“Ah, it looks like it’s here! Come on!”

With an eye smile that seemed almost closed, Becky raised his hand.

And the moment the blue girl appeared.

“… Eh.”

Becky’s face went pale.
