Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 14

14 – There must be inferiority in any world.

“Hey, Professor Violet!”

On the way to buy coffee the next day, Violet was caught by some students in the morning.

One, two, three…. There are more of them than you think. Violet replied curtly.

“Why?”

“Hey, that….”

The female student who received Violet’s gaze squarely hesitated but couldn’t forget her words. Eventually, the male student next to her boldly opened his mouth.

“I checked the rating poster on the bulletin board. But there is something a little strange about it.”

“Some parts are strange.”

“The student who cheated received an A grade. Is this a typographical error?”

“A student who committed cheating….”

As Violet repeated the words, she seemed to know who these ‘cheating students’ were.

“You mean flan students?”

The crowd of students nodded their heads in unison. Violet checked her male student’s name tag.

“Royren.”

“Yes?”

Violet let out a deep sigh.

“Listen to everyone, not just Roy Ren. All ratings are calculated without cheating.”

“Using the magic scroll…. Didn’t you?”

“No. Did another professor say that?”

“No, just a rumor….”

“They say it’s a rumor, so why come? Are you kidding me?”

“… ….”

The students made embarrassing expressions, then looked at each other’s faces and exchanged glances.

Then, this time, the first female student opened her mouth.

“Wasn’t flan’s crystal blown only half the distance? At that distance, I don’t think she can get an A grade.”

That’s because you guys don’t know the concept of ‘purification aid’ at all. Violet barely swallowed her stuffy heart.

“I took a retest because I was suspicious of the use of a scroll, and in the retest, I printed out the distance corresponding to grade A without any problems.”

“Because we couldn’t see it…… !”

“And we can do better if we take the test again!”

Another female student helps. Ha ha, Violet sighed and put her hand on her waist.

“It’s hard to believe that Plan achieved A-level skills in the retest, and they themselves want to take the retest, right now?”

Her Violet nodded and raised one of her own slender hands into the air.

“Right? Now, don’t pretend you weren’t. Students who think so.”

There was a difference in speed, but there was no student who didn’t. In the end, all the students who came in raised their hands.

“Really.”

Looking at the faces, there are only students who received grades B and C.

“Yes. Let’s take the test again.”

“…… !”

The corners of the students’ lips went up. However, Violet’s words were not yet finished.

“However, the method is a little different.”

Violet continued with a calm expression.

“In the expedition that takes place a week later, if the record is better than Plan, you will be promoted to Class A.”

The eyes of the students widened. However, there were no students who could speak back to Violet’s suggestion.

Her suggestion was extremely reasonable. It was a proposal that could confirm Plan’s skills and at the same time see the effect of her retest.

“What are you doing standing there? Go and practice your magic.”

Facing the students who were mouthing with puzzled expressions on their faces, Violet snorted and turned around.

◈

During lunchtime, the learning at Merhen Academy was at a level that could be eaten.

Is it a thing of the past that magic is a hungry science? I move the fork with that thought in mind.

“It really happened!”

Becky, whose mouth was full of food, emphasized again.

She’s been talking about Professor Violet ever since she started eating her meal with me – I didn’t intend to share it from the beginning, she sat right across from me.

“If there is, there is.”

“…… Aren’t you annoyed? What other students suspect? And aren’t you curious? That Professor Violet made such a condition?”

There is no reason to care about other students’ doubts. Because it’s something that needs to be proven with magic, not words.

Also, I expected Violet to treat me unusually from a long time ago. Since orientation, she’s been keeping an eye on me.

It was not difficult to guess why Violet seemed to be defending me.

‘I’m sure he’ll keep his enemies close.’

It will be easier to monitor if you stay attached. But is this something that can be classified as an ‘enemy’? She was a tenacious woman.

It’s fortunate that we’re in A grade together, so what? . Professor Violet said that…. Becky, chirping like a sparrow, is noisy.

The seasoning on her lips was too irritating, so she mentally folded a napkin and handed it to Becky.

“There is no fuss with ratings. What matters is how much she explores magic herself.”

“Hey! There is nothing to fuss about with grades!”

After wiping her mouth with a napkin, Becky busily continues her story.

“Thanks to the A grade, I can finally eat this learning for free, and after 3 days, I can enter the dormitory….”

My ears hurt to the extent that my eyebrows frown. It wasn’t a taste of learning that I wanted to eat more, so I got up from my seat.

“Oops. Mistake.”

But then, someone deliberately tried to push me away. Twist the body to avoid it with ease.

“What is it, did you avoid it?”

The big male student muttered that. I wonder what she meant, and when I stare at her, she gets angry again.

“What are you looking at? I made a mistake, are you dissatisfied? Should I use a scroll?”

Becky got up late and whispered as she patted me on the shoulder.

“Hey Plan, ignore it. A bit of an atmosphere.”

I followed Becky’s gaze and looked around.

The newbies preparing the meal, the newbies eating, and the newbies finishing the meal all had their eyes on me.

Of course, that gaze wasn’t pretty. Becky urged me on.

“Let’s get out of here. Their inferiority complex is not a joke… “

…… To me, this whole situation is ridiculous.

Not much different from usual, she left the restaurant with the corner of her mouth pushed up.

After that, she took Becky away because she wanted to be alone.

Everyone has times when they want to be alone, but I especially want to be alone more than others.

‘In any world, there must be an inferiority complex.’

I am used to negative feelings toward myself. Rather, they will serve as a great fuel to fuel my desire for proof.

You have two days to spare before the class you are assigned to begins. What are you going to do for these two days?

The worry was not long. There are always fun things to look for.

Did the losing side decide to bow down and apologize? I smiled and opened the page where Trivia’s memos were available.

Today, I’m going to think about what kind of problems I will create on the Agora board…

The knights’ meals are crude and heavy.

At Judith’s table, where not even the sound of tableware moving was heard, Ivan Judith, the head of household, opened her mouth.

“I heard from Katarina. Plan says she hasn’t returned to the mansion for two days.”

Scarlett’s knife, which was cutting meat at a constant speed, stopped. She answered in a calm voice.

“I guess I finally learned how to feel shame myself. He recognized that he had no face returning to the mansion.”

“Scarlett.”

Ivan puts the tableware on the floor with a thunk.

“Do you still resent Plan for what happened then?”

“… ….”

For a moment, Scarlett’s forehead twitched. She quietly rolled her eyes to the side.

“It is strange that I do not hold grudges.”

Ivan pondered for a moment, as if carefully picking out her words, then she opened her mouth again as she took up her fork and knife.

“Still, I am your younger brother. Let’s find out where they are.”

“I will.”

After finishing her meal, Scarlett sat down at the desk in her own room and pondered for a while.

On the subject of garbage, why has he been missing for two days? Which of the servants will you release to find him?

…… She had no reason to ponder at length. The academy will act as a servant this time.

Judith contributed greatly to the academy’s swordsmanship department. A request like this would be taken lightly.

She unfolded her paper and picked up her quill.

Anything in Scarlett’s hand is like a sword. The quill draws straight lines along her hand.

She is a knight. No annoying rhetoric added to the letter.

The letter is filled with short information asking about Plan’s attendance, attitude, grades, etc. The act of choosing a sentence and moving it to type is done simultaneously in her hands.

In the last line, I clearly added the content to ask for a reply within today. That’s enough.

As soon as she rings the bell placed on one side of the desk, Katarina, the maid, finds Scarlett’s room.

“Yes. Scarlet Lady. Did you call?”

“Send in my name to Marchen Academy.”

Katarina took the letter with both her hands and left the room.

Scarlett quietly crosses her arms as she recounts what they promised each other at dinner with Plan.

If you don’t get the highest grade by the midterm evaluation, Plan will be expelled from the Judith family. She will not give any amount towards her brother for her failure.

“… ….”

Knock, knock, knock, he knocked on the desk with his fingertips.

Suddenly, thoughts of the past come flooding back.

The young flan smiles brightly at her scarlet, holding her sword. She is eager, swinging her short legs and swinging her fern-like hands.

She then shook her head.

“…… Trash.”

Kwadeuk, I gripped the handle of the sword. I was also busy with training.
