Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

94 – Eh—!

“That’s right.”

Plann nodded his head at Trixie.

In the first place, the evaluation criterion is not victory or defeat. Since the focus is on ‘does he hide his presence well’, it won’t matter much if the opponent is a planner.

He also had a little desire to quickly check the power of the ancient runes.

「Unique Barrier」

A study organized by Maiev based on his theory.

Borrowing the power of an ancient rune word in the ‘manipulation’ series, magic that manipulates space to create a unique realm unique to the caster.

The difference between each field is as big as the sky and the earth, in that the world of illusion is only a fantasy after all, and the unique boundary is realized as a reality.

… Flan is curious about its exact performance.

“I definitely accepted it now.”

Trixie muttered with a rather serious face, as if she wanted to get a definite answer.

“Yes. There is no reversal of the decision.”

Trixie then nodded with a relieved face.

However, it was only for a while that I had such thoughts. Suddenly, the memory of the previous confrontation with Plan came to mind.

An unpleasant memory of worrying that he might have been dealing with Trixie on purpose. The girl immediately pursed her lips.

“You. I’ll add one.”

Trixie didn’t want Plan to act ‘properly’. Because the goal is to win in a game where each person puts their best effort into it.

“Never look at me. Sincerely about the confrontation-“

Pak─!

Before she could finish her words, the girl’s head bent behind her.

Power enough to make you wonder if your neck is broken. The eyes that were watching were instantly colored with concern and shock.

“….”

Trixie froze for a moment. I wonder if this is the expression that the stars twinkle in front of my eyes.

Flan asked, narrowing her eyes.

“Were you talking about something?”

A cool tone. Trixie slowly turned her head back. I blinked my eyes twice.

Something dripped from his nose.

It was a nosebleed.

“… Nothing.”

Hwareuk—!

Trixie immediately molded blue flames like clay. What soon emerges is the shape of a blue wolf.

It was 「Hwarang」 That was inspired by the monsters encountered in the preliminaries. 「Hwarang」 Immediately swallowed Plan like a wave.

Quadd Deuk—!

Swallowed in that gigantic mouth, the flan became invisible. Trixie immediately signed the seal and recited the incantation.

To add ‘auxiliary’ to the blue flame of the gallery.

‘Flame is the heart of hell.’

Trixie planted the nature of ‘explosion’ in each of Hwarang’s teeth. In other words, Hwarang is no different from having several bombs in its mouth.

‘However, the ignition of a blessing.’

As soon as the chanting was finished, Hwarang’s teeth began to heat up one by one, as a result.

Quaaang—!

Elemental Blast. That’s it.

Hwaaah—!

Hwarang ran wild, spitting out flames and explosions like breath.

“… !”

Those who watched it widened their eyes at the appearance reminiscent of a dragon. Before approaching with magical principles, it was a great sight to see with the naked eye.

All of this was the product of Trixie’s talent and hard work, which she had honed until recently.

“Whoa….”

Trixie wiped the sweat from her forehead. I felt dizzy for a while, probably because I consumed too much mana at once.

I was a little proud.

The unbelievable size of the arena is covered in blue flames. In the past, Trixie would have only imagined this kind of scenery.

However, that pride was soon lifted.

At one point, the entire stadium was dyed black.

No other delegates, no observers, no galleries, no blue flames to be seen.

In the middle, just flan stood.

Trixie could not understand this principle yet. Now only one thing was certain.

Trixie’s magic did not reach Flan.

Plan opened his mouth calmly.

“Your magic could have sensed even a passing dog. The knights should have arrived one by one by now.”

After three seconds of silence, Plan continues.

“And dead by now. It’s obvious.”

“….”

Trixie narrowed her brows. Come to think of it, he couldn’t concentrate at all on hiding his magical powers.

However, what really upset me was that I couldn’t even reach Flan even though I did my best without thinking about hiding my magical power.

Trixie bit her lower lip.

“No, it’s not obvious.”

And the flames began to be controlled again.

This time, he focused on hiding his presence, spreading the flames like a shadow in the shape of a snake.

It was magic that could be called ‘assassination’.

Pass Sut—!

However, like the crumbling of dried leaves, that secret movement was soon completely blocked.

Exactly, it was stolen. The blue flame that formed the shape of a snake was sucked into the flan.

“Ugh….”

Trixie gathered her mana once more as she grew jealous of Plan just staring at her.

“… ?”

I tried to pull it together, but it failed. Again, the energy of mana flows towards the plan.

Trixie was able to realize its true nature within no time. This wasn’t just defense, it was ‘absorption’.

After a while, Plan opened his mouth.

“Even now, it is obvious. He told me to hide his presence, but he only reduced his power to the point where he couldn’t even show his presence.”

From noble mtl dot com

He feels all the magic that occurs within the 「Inherent Barrier」 Much more clearly than before.

Principle, Presence, Strength…. All that.

“I never ordered to be weak. I must have told you many times to stay strong and only erase the signs.”

But that was what Plan was originally good at.

However, if it is inside your own barrier, and if the opponent has the power of mana….

It is possible to absorb that mana.

You can use the opponent’s mana to cast magic.

In other words, the plan now was more free from the restrictions of mana. If the total amount becomes insufficient, you can explain by borrowing from the opposing mage.

“It is not difficult at all. I will explain only once.”

So, private lessons like this are possible.

Plan handed the blue flame caught in the air back to Trixie.

“Let’s keep its firepower intact and erase only its presence. It’s definitely something you learned.”

“….”

They say it’s not difficult at all, but Trixie was filled with resentment towards herself for being difficult.

She began to rewrite her spell from the beginning, stroke by stroke. Since she had plenty of time anyway, she was determined to succeed as she showed it this time.

A total of 21 lines, each with a different thickness, are woven one by one as if knitting a thread.

‘That theory…. It must have been grafted here.’

When I slowly open it up, I think I can see the answer.

It feels good. She has her own too.

The speed of her fingers gradually increased, and she was certain that she would succeed this time.

“… !”

Trixie was startled. It was because something in her gripped her arm.

“… ?!”

And the next moment she was even more startled and her body trembled. Because that ‘something’ was none other than Plan’s hand.

He grabbed Trixie’s arm and began to move her fingers like chalk. She corrects her spells one by one.

“That may not be the case. We need to fix this part.”

“You, you, you…. What….”

“The blue flame is Fritz’s history. Can not help it. You have to draw it with your fingers.”

A body that has never been caught even by her maid.

The shock was great.

The blue girl’s face was stained with embarrassment for some reason. It was natural for her body to tremble.

“Anyone’s will, someone else’s hands like chalk….”

“Concentrate. In order for you to hide your presence—”

Plan continues to explain in silence.

It’s the first time I’ve heard his bass up close like this. It was the first time I felt that my body was this long.

The girl raised her head abruptly. Plan’s nonchalant eyes were still focused on the spell.

“Be careful with your breathing in this part. Those who have reached the state can grasp their intentions just by breathing—”

I couldn’t concentrate on Plan’s explanation.

I decided what this mysterious atmosphere and situation was, and I thought about how to react for a while.

And then.

The scent of flan tickled Trixie’s nose.

Familiar scent.

“Eh!”

Trixie screamed stupidly. All the concentrated mana was scattered and the spell exploded with a bang.

The energy that exploded in all directions is absorbed by Plan. Plann smiled and murmured.

“… Like it.”

I was sincere.

Seriously, Plan is satisfied with his unique barrier.

“What, what are you talking about? Move. Move! Rain, get out of the way!”

Trixie shoved Plann away and hurriedly ran out of the arena.

◈

“Becky.”

Arriving late at the training ground, Louis called out to Becky. But Becky stood there blankly and didn’t answer.

“Becky?”

“Ah, uh uh. Huh.”

Louis had no choice but to touch Becky’s shoulder with his index finger. Only then did the lukewarm response return.

“I just arrived. What can I do first?”

“Uh uh….”

But even that is just a reaction as it is expressed. Becky’s mind was already sold elsewhere.

It was natural for her to wonder why Becky was in shock. Louis follows Becky’s gaze.

“… ?”

First of all, there was Plan, who was lost in thought. And in the audience in the back, the professors, who seemed to be about eight, were whispering excitedly.

“What happened?”

Something had to happen.

Lewis remembered Trixie’s face as he came into the training ground.

His face was red, he was staggering and couldn’t even walk properly. It wasn’t normal.

“Becky, could you tell me what happened?”

“….”

Becky couldn’t answer.

The girl’s head was confused at the moment. Luis’s kind words did not come to my ears at all now.

Plan’s magic. In my mind, that’s all there is to it.

The black barrier I just saw lingered in my head. An extremely deep and dark black. A spirit I’ve never felt before. I’ve never seen anything like that.

“Becky?”

Louis called Becky again. Now there is no answer at all.

Even in the midst of this, the professors’ voices and excitement continue to grow. Lewis could clearly see their agitation with the naked eye.

“Looks like Plan has done something again….”

The boy muttered quietly. If I had to express my sentiments, it was just a pity that I couldn’t see with my own eyes the ‘something’ that Plan would have done.

“Representative students.”

Then. A clean-looking woman wearing glasses approached Louis and Becky.

Louise was also a woman who had seen her face a few times. She probably remembers that she was the president’s secretary.

“Inspection is over. Therefore…. I think you can spend the rest of the day freely.”

She, too, kept pushing her glasses up as if the shock she received was not small. After completing her delivery, the secretary hurriedly approached Plan.

“Flan student. It’s been checked, and I’d like to talk to you. Please, please.”

Plann nodded her head in agreement. Louis laughed out loud at the sight of the secretary almost taking her students away.

“… I’m sorry I’m late today. I lost a lot of life.”

He murmured softly.

◈

… Finally, the morning of the subjugation festival was bright.

“The day has come.”

The second princess, Aurora.

The golden eyes are the same as my sister’s, but the jet-black hair is the complete opposite.

She had been receiving reports from her eunuchs at the imperial palace since dawn.

“Isn’t relaying a problem? I hate being stuffy.”

“Even the princess sees it, and the reporters will do their best.”

The place that will be the stage for the subjugation is ‘Berkel’, an area infested with demons.

It is all up to them to vividly convey the intense inaction of the representatives on the field to the academy. Therefore, the role and responsibility of reporters was also inevitably heavy.

“Will it come out this year?”

“Yes?”

“The knight of the flames, the one who will break her pauldron.”

“I wonder if that would be difficult. Even if you can only see him swinging a sword in the world, they say it’s a scoop….”

The Knight of the Ember, Scarlett, also participates in the subjugation.

A way to give Joe a ridiculous number of points for damaging Scarlett’s pauldron.

It is not natural to participate as a participant.

Thanks to this, viewers will be able to see the appearance of the knight of the janbul in the subjugation, and the participating team will be given a chance to turn around.

… Of course, it was a blind spot if the possibility of seizing that opportunity converged to the impossible.

“Hmm. So, who do you think will win this time?”

“As long as there is no change, I expect it by Tianchuk.”

“This year seemed to be full of surprises, right?”

Aurora got up from her seat.

I took a step and looked at the campus map of Marchen Academy on the wall.

“And that’s not all that’s interesting.”

First of all, the largest building in the Faculty of Engineering. A knight’s temple that makes you feel solemn just by looking at it. The very place where the ‘Round Table’ is placed.

“The Knight of the Remnant.”

This time, I went to the other side of the second princess.

The tallest spire-shaped building in the Faculty of Magic. It was a magic tower.

“And flan.”

From what she heard, Plan is self-assured and ambitious. He was a man full of such things.

Currently, the royal family’s secret oath was still in her hand. At the point where the final round of the subjugation system ends, this secret will no longer be a secret.

“What will happen….”

She looks forward to that day.

It will also be quite fun to see how far and how far this wizard will fly.

“Try to fly high.”

At that time, it might steal my eyes.

Aurora held a sneer.
