Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 101

101 – [▶I want to check if they are siblings]

“….”

At some point, my eyes opened. I can see the white ceiling in my still blurry vision.

Today, too, there is a mountain of research to be done.

I got up without the slightest hesitation. The rays of light coming in from the window are warm, and it seems like it will be a perfect day to explore magic.

“Um.”

When I just got out of bed.

─Kaplan, are you still there?

Someone called me outside the door.

I doubted my ears for a moment. Because it was the voice of someone who could no longer be heard.

Breaking—

The next moment, the door opened without permission, revealing a familiar silhouette. At the same time, the smell of the workshop unique to witches comes in.

“You….”

“Did you skip the rice because you were doing research again? I brought it.”

Her face is blurry as she lifts the basket. Only her snow-white hair was shining, and the rest of her body was not visible.

For a moment, my heart felt heavy.

“Yo, Master! I’m here too!”

As she stood there blankly, her disciple appeared behind her raising her hand. A smile spreads across the boy’s smiling face.

“… What.”

“What is it, Master’s disciple!”

With a big smile on his face, he started helping to get the food out of the basket and arrange it. The empty table is quickly filled with food thanks to the hands of two women.

“….”

In disbelief, I stared at her. Her eyes met her mine and she brushed her hair behind her ears, blushing.

“Why are you staring at me like that? Embarrassed.”

I felt like I needed to wash my face with cold water, so I moved to the sink. But something is strange. I slowly raised my head and looked in the mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was probably sad. I can’t understand why I feel sad.

Also, it must be unacceptable.

At that time, a strong voice came from outside again.

“Master! I can eat first!”

After washing my face, I headed back to the table.

Tasty sandwiches, bok choy, and well-sliced fruit were already filling the tables. I just watched the two diners.

“… Kaplan.”

Then, suddenly, she called out to me in a serious voice. I was focused without realizing it.

And the next moment.

She said something completely incomprehensible.

“It’s nice to see it this way. But, I have to go now.”

I didn’t know where to go. The uninvited guest will be you, not me.

“Eh?”

The disciple vomited a mysterious death.

“You sang like that because you missed my teacher…. Already? Have a cup of tea.”

He chewed on the sandwich while saying that. It was a habit I pointed out so many times that I was so used to it that I still haven’t forgotten it.

“Master~ Master sometimes thinks of the Archwitch as well. I think you are engaged to magic.”

Usually, I would have told him to shut up, but for some reason.

“If you can afford it…. Don’t do that.”

I felt I had to say this.

Then she opened her mouth again.

“Anyway, let’s go now. Keep your promise.”

“I would have said there was no need to go to the Mage Tower.”

“No. Not the mage tower.”

She sternly cut me off.

The moment our eyes met in midair.

I was speechless for a while.

“There was a promise we made.”

She had very sad eyes.

“We promised not to be lonely, right?”

“… !”

At that moment, my eyes flashed open.

Breathing is difficult and my throat is choking. His forehead was already wet with sweat.

“….”

It’s a dream.

I didn’t think about anything for a while. However, she recognized that she would never see the two of them again.

I also feel indescribable emotions. I never thought that the simple yet special daily life would unfold before my eyes in the form of a dream.

“Ha ha.”

Looks like you’ve been very tired. Anyway, the morning of the subjugation festival was bright.

I quietly recalled my promise to her. The next moment, I think of Becky, Louise, and Trixie in order.

“It’s a promise.”

And a thin smile appeared on his lips.

“… Should I say that I am protecting it?”

◈

Just before leaving the hostel, I checked a few things.

The journey to Berkel actually gave me a lot of meaningful help.

My mana is not yet infinite in this world. Therefore, each time he used magic, he had to calculate the optimal method, and he always had to squeeze his reserves to the limit.

But that’s why.

This series of courses has been a great training. His intimacy with Hera also increased significantly.

The spirit of the night, Hera, opened her mouth excitedly.

[I think you can become a spirit now?]

“It is spiritization.”

Increased mana capacity.

In fact, it’s safe to say that the only function I’ve received from Hera is that one.

It increases the calculation ability, and the power of magic increases in the dark…. The other features weren’t particularly helpful.

However, ‘spiritualization’ is different.

Since I can change Hera, whose form was fixed by her gloves, from now on to ‘something’ I want, she must be useful.

“I think I can decide the shape.”

[Yes, that’s right! But for elaborate modeling, we need to get closer in the future.]

“Let’s try it first.”

[Before that, let’s get emotional!]

“I meant emotion.”

I accepted Hera’s mana as much as I could.

“… !”

At the same time, the pain was astonishingly intense.

A sharp pain felt as if the bones in the whole body were being ground, as if the muscles were twisted and torn, as the insignificant body metamorphosed.

Quad Deuk—!

A sound that shouldn’t come out of the body clearly hits the ear. As time goes by, it doesn’t calm down, and the pain only gets bigger and bigger.

However.

I endured it all with my eyes closed and concentration. He can’t help but sweat, but he never shows weakness.

Perhaps it should be more antique than that of a nobleman.

‘Elegance as a Wizard’

I was just being faithful to him.

The accepted mana gradually began to be controlled. I evenly distributed it in my body, understood the flow, and made it completely my own.

“Cool… !”

Unclear blood clots vomited out of the mouth. It was more painful than ever, but in the end, the result of high-level emotion was success.

I slowly pushed my eyelids up. My body was burning with new strength.

“This time, I will try to become an elemental.”

[Please be gentle… ?]

Elementalization basically belongs to the summoning class, but it is a magic that has excellent compatibility with the manipulation class.

Focus on the shape of Hera. As she drained her mana, her black gloves began to ooze.

The result of the experiment that followed was simple.

A shape that required multiple parts like a music box was a failure. However, a simple figure like a needle was able to succeed without difficulty.

“This is enough.”

[Oh, please play with me a little more….]

The moment I just finished checking like that.

─Rock!

Suddenly, someone opened the door.

“Flan! I earned a lot of points… !”

The main character who opened the door was Becky.

“… !”

Becky couldn’t finish his words. After checking my face, I just trembled between my eyebrows.

“What is the business?”

I asked quietly as I removed the bloody lips and desk with magic and changed my shirt on the spot.

“Ah…. That is….”

Muttering Becky’s gaze glanced over at me. After a long pause, she asked with a very concerned expression.

“Flan you…. Oh, does it hurt? Where is your body hurting?”

“No problem. I should have asked about it.”

Becky then began to explain everything.

“Ah. That. Hmm…. I scored. I won at poker, so I bought some souvenirs for you….”

“Check it later.”

“Oh, uh. Sorry. I’ll just go out. I came in too suddenly….”

Becky withdrew, looking very concerned. Even the moment the door was completely closed, she glanced at me.

After being left alone in the room, I checked a few more things.

“Come to think of it….”

A blank business card from Cornette, the president of the Faculty of Magic, suddenly came to mind.

Looking at it for the first time in a while, there has been a significant change. Almost all the letters came to mind, and I had a vague idea of what they were.

It is presumed to be an artifact in the form of providing mana. It seems like you can pull out as much as you want within the limit.

“I never thought it would be a blank check like this.”

I nodded my head naturally to think of scattering magical energy rather than gold coins.

Then suddenly, at some point.

‘… ?’

From noble mtl dot com

In the case of the previous world, handing over an object containing one’s magic power was a very intense seduction act among wizards. Even in this world….

“Well, that’s it.”

Right now, it didn’t matter either way. Rather than that, the purpose of this business card must be more important.

After putting it in her inner pocket, she took out the trivia this time.

Whoever spread word of mouth, the recent teaching auction had a fairly large number of requests coming in.

“I should have said that I only accept things related to magic….”

Disappointingly, most of them were rather miscellaneous.

For example, a guy presumed to be Maiev asked me to tell you about the ‘assassination magic that leaves no traces and uses blue mana’. Of course I have no intention of telling you.

[*Trixie]

[▶Ah, the thing I couldn’t contact you for a while]

[▶I forgot to mention Trivia]

[▶Did you ever feel uncomfortable…. 8ㅅ8]

I only sent a rough reply to Trixie.

After filtering through the useless information, I finally found something that piqued my interest.

[*Glitter in the Wilderness]

[▶Hello. We ask you politely.]

[▶Is it true that anything related to magic can be answered?]

[▶If true, I would like you to focus on one person’s magic. We will provide enough compensation as you wish.]

[▶The target is Plan Judith, a freshman in the academy.]

Flan Judith.

There were obviously very few anonymous clients. You already know that I am of Judith family origin.

However, there was something written on the line right below that that bothered me even more than that.

[▶ Also, I would like you to explore the unique ability of Scarlet Judith, who is famous as the Knight of the Ember.]

[▶Please compare and analyze the energy of the two people.]

─Delegates, please gather at the plaza!

─We will guide you once again.

─Delegates, please gather at the plaza.

Just in time, an announcement started ringing inside the dorm. I immediately left the room.

I asked the client while walking down the hallway.

[▷This is not a difficult quest.]

[▷But I need to know your intentions.]

The reply came back without the slightest gap.

[▶I want to check whether they are siblings.]

That too, with somewhat surprising content.
