Evangeline de Wallenstein.
As the Grand Duchess of the great Kingdom of Gallia and the monarch of the Grand Duchy of Wallenstein, who is nominally a vassal of the kingdom but de facto independent, she is a busy person.
“Isn’t this the only ability of those who claim to be competent?”
“…… Sorry.”
Evangeline struggled to hide her discomfort at the sight of her subordinate bowing deeply.
In fact, she has abandoned her territory to the point of being irresponsible even as herself, and has entered the Vera Empire. The reason is simple. The reason she obtained information about her immortal nemesis, the Demon Cult, and its leader.
But even though she came this far, she was tenacious in her responsibilities of governing a small country. Even though she entrusted all her authority to her trusty grand duchy’s chancellor!
“I don’t have time for this.”
Evangeline was nervous.
She still couldn’t even get the start of her plan right. In fact, it might be more accurate to say that she had no reason to coax her man, Veris, to her side.
Just…… Her feelings said so.
Berris von Wittelsbach. She must win her man with her immature personality to her side.
“They are like bugs hiding in the house. You’ll have to keep in mind that once you feel their presence, it may be too late.”
“Your Excellency’s command, I will embed it into your bones.”
Archduchess Evangeline greeted her with a nod of her head.
Then she hurriedly prepared herself and left her temporary home, the mansion in the Southern District.
‘What are you doing today?’
In the current situation, there is no choice but to feel urgency. But for some reason, Evangeline found it strangely enjoyable to meet and talk to him. Which…… It was also because of her mysterious feeling that she blindly believed.
“…… Hmm?”
There was no hesitation in Evangeline’s steps as she had already secured the location of her residence where Verice lived. However, Evangeline was puzzled by the intense wave of mana she felt immediately.
“That’s strange.”
As far as she knows, it’s safe to say that there are very few people in this academy who can handle such powerful mana.
But what the hell is this about? Is it that a strong flow is detected in the western district, not the luxurious mansion she is heading to in the southern district?
“This feels good.”
After thinking about it for a while, Evangeline turned her steps around. It is true that her search is urgent. But she was getting in the way of her curiosity, which entangled her.

[ Awesome! How the hell do you show such a miracle? Dalian, obviously not at the student’s level! ]
Valten, the host and relayer of A Song of Ice and Fire, let out an astonished exclamation.
The exclamation was immediately resonating through the magic loudspeaker in the arena, and the audiences who filled the arena were also showing similar reactions.
“Crazy, crazy!”
“If someone asks about the future of the continent, raise your head and let them see the battleground of the midterm evaluation.”
The feast of the magic of the two attributes flying towards each other without rest is enough to make the eyes happy.
The obviously strong source of power contained within it was the cause of the spectators’ body trembling.
“A person named Beatrice has a high reputation as a candidate for the next archmage. But how on earth did Her Highness, the princess, have such power! And how did you classify the possessor of that ability as a B class!”
The girl who fired ice barrier magic on top of the arena was Maria Theresia, who was familiar to the public.
Surprisingly, she is in Class B and is on a par with Beatrice, her transfer student. Of course, the battle didn’t seem easy because of her attributes.
But the important fact is that the girl Maria is dealing with is by no means an ordinary academy student.
A transfer student, a rare magical genius who was approved to defer the duty of study given to imperial aristocrats.
Beatrice Von Haruen. She was no longer her student, but a full-fledged sorceress, flying over her arena with her sword fluttering through her hair.
“Is this the fourth round? No other final has produced such a spectacle!”
“I agree with you. Isn’t it nice that your eyes are good thanks to that!”
Yes.
At some point, the midterm tournament was in the semifinals.
The semifinalists were occupied by four people who often went up and down in people’s cubes.
A. Maria Theresa von Binsburg de Vera.
B. Beatrice Von Haruen.
C. Patrick Hessen.
D. Veris von Wittelsbach.
What is also surprising is that only one of the class 4 finalists belonged to class A.
Except for Patrick, who is said to have matured sword skills, one is a transfer student and the other two are B class students.
“We have to beat the admissions officers!”
“Ah! Even my dog knows that those damn squires get paid to eat.”
So, naturally, many people were complaining.
If it weren’t for the two class B students who advanced to the semifinals, this dissatisfaction wouldn’t have flared up so strongly.
─Geeing!
“Huh?”
“The big one is coming!”
There were some who spat thick curses about the academy admissions office, while others admired the fiercely ongoing battle.
Dalian was simple.
While Beatrice fires flame-type attack magic with the momentum to burn everything, Maria uses ice-type defense magic that focuses on defense and status abnormalities.
Of course, Maria would need a chance to counterattack in order to win, but unfortunately, Beatrice was not a very easy opponent.
─Kwaaang!
“Is it the end!”
In the end, after a long battle, Maria allowed Beatrice to attack.
The entire arena is supported by mana, so you won’t get hurt….
“Oh, Her Majesty Maria has risen.”
Clap clap clap!
As Maria staggered from her seat, her applause poured in.
The area around Maria was filled with black soot thanks to Beatrice’s magic she had just hit. Unfortunately or fortunately, Maria’s defense magic, effective protection magic throughout the arena overlapped, and it seemed that she avoided fatal injuries.
“…… I will admit defeat.”
But she didn’t fall down, and Maria said so as she supported her body.
Being equal in the first place was almost a miracle for Maria.
The opponent is from the Mage Tower, which is said to be full of magic-crazed psychopaths, and is a girl with extraordinary powers.
Although he was defeated, it was a valuable match for Maria as well.
And there was a pair of blue eyes watching over the couple.
“…… Amazing.”
Archduchess Evangeline did not regret her own choice.
This is because the clash of fire and ice that filled the sky, which had unfolded like mad until just now, was not a scene to be easily seen.
The epic battle was reminiscent of a battle between two great wizards in mythology. It is hard to believe that she is still a student at the academy, whose powers are weak.
It was to the point where I was looking forward to seeing what kind of magic they would unleash after a long time.
“Then…… Just how strong is he?”
Evangeline hurriedly began to scan her seats.
She also has a sense of humor. Her dignity and arrogance as her grand duke only matched her like her well-fitting clothes, but she wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t know the mysterious relationship between her people.
And that’s how she sees it…… Beatrice and Maria, two wonderful wizards, were stumped by the man.
Evangeline, who has lived her whole life as a confident woman, thinks that it was not simply because of her liking. It must have been the bizarre power that the man possessed.
Evangeline thought Veris had ten thousand mana. But even so, Veris showed her confidence that she couldn’t believe.
[ Winner! Beatrice Phone Haruen! What a great match! ]
In the meantime, the student council president shouted in a trembling voice as if he was astonished by the sparring that had just taken place.
[ The next match is between Berris von Wittelsbach and Federik Hessen. Match starts at 4:00 PM. Thank you ]
“What? Four o’clock?”
“No, these damn things are making people horny and then doing it cheaply!”
The thick booing from the audience flew in.
Current time is 11 am. That meant the next game was five hours later.
“Not bad.”
The Archduke rose from his seat. It was a pity that she couldn’t see Berris’ long-awaited sparring right away, but she just had to meet him in person.
After making that decision, Evangeline calmed down and began spreading her serene mana.
Unlike her, she is not the one who was worshiped as the kingdom’s guardian at a young age. True to his name, Archduke Wallenstein, his overwhelming mana began to move in search of a man without anyone noticing.
“…… Hmm?”
And.
The Archduke made an image of the mana spread in his head and made a strange noise.
The reason was simple. It was because the man with that familiar mana was not in this huge amphitheater where midterm evaluations were held, but in a place similar to other arenas.
At the man’s side, the mana of others was also sensed.
It is the mana in Evangeline’s memory that remembers people not only by their appearance and voice, but also by their mana.
“Isn’t he the imperial swordsman genius?”
Are you nervous about the future sparring?
Evangeline thought Veris asked Gunther von Haruen for a friendly match. hahahaha, even in her eyes, Gunther von Haruen was a fairly strong swordsman. Of course, compared to her, it was just a tearful level like fireflies in front of her sun, but she said.
“You have a cute corner.”
Muttering so much to himself, Archduke Evangeline chuckled.
Her words It was because she thought that Matana Berris had asked Gunther to learn from her nervousness.
“How helpful.”
Evangeline has the power to see through ‘mana’. Like a halo, she sees the mana the person has is also an inherent power she has.
That’s why I thought Veris’s mana was sadly lame. She would do the same, because Veris didn’t show any mana.
