Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 42

42 – Let me ask you.

“Again, I didn’t hear anything from the other side.”

At Elesis’ words, the eyes of Violet and the staff widened at the same time.

Come to think of it, it was.

The speed of the magic bullets unrestricted by the safety device is staggering. In other words, there can be no collision sound.

The heads of the three women simultaneously turned to flan.

The scenery that comes into view is simple, but also shocking.

A boy with a calm demeanor and magic bullets that disintegrate and scatter in all directions. That’s all.

Plan’s fingertips are badly burned. Even the smoke was rising.

Even so, Plan just stared bored into empty space.

Violet opened her mouth with a bewildered expression.

“Elesis. That….”

“Right.”

Elesis nods her head.

“Looks like they disbanded again.”

“Wait, wait. It makes no sense. Wasn’t this magic bullet faster than the 3rd round?”

“Right. I set it to the same speed as Ivan Rose’s flash.”

At those words, Violet sighed.

“Understanding the core circuit. Error-free interference and dismantling. All of this in such a short time….”

“I did everything. What are you doing?”

When the plan was evaluated 3 times.

Until then, he had thought of him as simply a usable guy. Doubts remained.

However, after the 4th playthrough, Elesis’ thoughts changed.

‘He’s an interesting guy.’

Considering Plan’s age, it would be more accurate to describe it as a ‘gemstone’. However.

… Strangely enough, he had a corner where he behaved like a polished jewel.

Elesis licked her lower lip.

She valued inner things more than wizard skills.

There are many wizards who briefly shine with their excellent technique, but a truly great wizard must have an overwhelming spirit that will not back down from anything.

I didn’t expect that unusual boy to have that level of ability.

Yes, I did….

Elesis looked at Plan’s face once more.

The boy’s face gives a glimpse of the overwhelming spirit Elesis was looking for.

My greed began to rise. The desire to set him up in a real battle field, not an occasional test site.

One step, two steps.

Plan began to approach us with a disapproving face. Soon, he knocked on the black barrier three times and opened his mouth.

“What more do you need?”

Even though he couldn’t see inside, he was looking into Violet’s eyes.

“Hey, you.”

Elesis canceled the black barrier. She asked directly to Plan.

“Why did you bother to interfere?”

Perhaps it was because the tone was so harsh, or perhaps it was an argument, flan narrowed his brows.

“If you had good understanding, you could have just looked at it with your own eyes and interfered. Why did you have to touch it?”

“Ah.”

As if he was curious about that, Flan opened his mouth as he relaxed his expression. The three women only looked at Flan’s mouth.

“There was no mana to look at with the naked eye.”

Everyone looked surprised except for Plan.

After a while, Elesis asked again.

“Then I guess I have no choice but to ask the same question one more time? Why the hell did you touch it instead of avoiding it? Aren’t you scared?”

“I don’t understand either. According to student Plan, if I had been late with either understanding or interference, I would have hurt my hand very badly.”

Violet helped from the side.

This is absurdly dangerous.

If what Plann said is true, doesn’t it mean that he not only ‘understood’ to read all the core circuits the moment the magic bullets touched his fingertips, but also ‘interfered’ to dismantle them?

A wizard with no remaining mana would have tried to avoid anyone.

“I will ask.”

Plan asked Elesis in reverse.

“If it were you, would you have avoided it?”

There was silence for a while.

Elesis asked, frowning at her.

“What do you mean?”

“In a situation where all of the mana is consumed, if the opponent rushes in, would you avoid it?”

“It’s different depending on the situation and opponent, right?”

“It’s no different. A proper wizard would think this way in any situation.”

The corners of Flan’s mouth go up.

And then he muttered in a low voice.

“There is no reason to avoid it,” He said.

Violet and Elesis looked at each other.

The two thought at the same time.

Today’s evaluation that I didn’t expect much, this little flapping of my wings, might turn into a big typhoon.

◈

ㅡEvaluation has ended. Results will be announced soon, students, please do not leave the waiting room.

I chose one of the chairs in the waiting room and sat down.

“Louis, how are you doing? I prayed hard.”

“Of course you did well. It’s Louis.”

Guys who want to be social are already sticking around Luis. Everyone had no doubt that Lewis would become the representative.

“Well, maybe not me.”

Louis replied with a light smile. His gaze quietly turned towards me.

“Ah~ Lewis, aren’t you too modest?”

Haley, who sat beside her, smiled as she ran her fingers through Louise’s hair.

“Hey, flan.”

From noble mtl dot com

Of course, there were fools who approached me.

“… How are you doing? I was rooting for you.”

It was Becky. I silently nodded.

Even if they are cheered on or cursed, there is no special impression. After all, if it weren’t for me, there would be no one else to do it.

At that moment, Violet appeared.

“Everyone pay attention. First of all, it was hard to evaluate.”

Elesis stood next to Violet.

Elesis was so tall and Violet was short, so the difference between the two was especially evident. Feeling like Violet has become her little witch.

“The introduction is over, but first, the announcement of the results.”

I held my breath here and there at the announcement of the results.

Violet snapped her fingers and a name floated in the air.

[ Plan ]

“Lewis…. Aren’t you the representative?”

Haley muttered, looking at the typeface with a shocked expression.

As her mouth slowly opened, questions started popping up here and there.

“Flan?”

“Isn’t it the wrong presentation?”

“Why the hell….”

The shock the students received is bigger than expected.

“Doesn’t make sense? How can the guy who was completely carried by Trixie even during the evaluation of the expedition become the representative?”

Just as Martin’s words set fire to the fuse and he was about to start a controversy, Elesis spoke up.

“As I said in advance, this evaluation was fair.”

At those words, the murmur grew louder.

While the inside of the waiting room started to become completely chaotic, Elesis continued.

“Our opponent is Ivan Rose, who is called the supernova of the Knights Faculty.”

Elesis took one look at the students.

“Since Ivan’s unique ability is the flash, I evaluated you based on how you responded to magic bullets fired at high speed.”

The students quietly nodded.

Of course. There must be no one who didn’t understand the story up to this point.

“For reference…. The facility was fitted with a safety device. Because the very benevolent Professor Violet cares for you very much.”

After talking that far, Elesis lifts one of her levers. The lever had signs of being broken.

“We decided that it was necessary to clearly measure Plan’s skills. I unlocked the safety device. And Flan did a great job with his 4th shot.”

As if the story wasn’t over yet, Elesis stretched out one of her index fingers.

“Lastly, there is one thing you guys should keep in mind.”

Each student swallowed dry saliva. Everyone was staring at Elesis’ mouth.

“The 4th magic bullet fired was a magic bullet with the same speed as Ivan Rose’s flash. What you guys were dealing with was much slower. Got it?”

The speed of the 4th magic bullet is similar to that of a flash of light. Elesis’ words shocked the students.

“Then we…. Didn’t you catch something much slower?”

“Flan did that?”

While all the students were shocked, there was an intense gaze directed at me.

It was Trixie. She was staring at me.

Like that or not, I started thinking about other things.

‘It’s been a while.’

I checked the condition of my left hand. It is noticeable on burnt fingers.

Just go back to the dormitory and use healing magic, so it’s not difficult to deal with….

The very concept of getting hurt is so unfamiliar to me. Stingy fingers are unfamiliar and insignificant….

I don’t know how many times I’ve had injuries on my body.

However, I do not regret my actions.

Even if it breaks, it never bends. It is only going further without losing self-respect.

‘Hera.’

I even have Heroic Spirit Artifacts.

If you grow with artifacts, the highlands will not be far away. First of all, I organized my thoughts like that.

“The Mystic Canyon guarantees that the representative election was fair. Those who still have doubts, come find them separately.”

Elesis finished her own remarks to that extent.

Everyone shuts their mouths at the word “Mysterious gorge.” It seems that the value of the name is quite high.

Violet opened her mouth again.

“I emphasize once again, everyone had a hard time taking the evaluation. Now, let’s go to the hotel inside the magic tower.”

Male students are on the 24th floor, female students are on the 23rd floor…. Violet’s explanation continued for a while, and we finally moved towards the portal.

However, a problem occurred in front of the portal. Suddenly, Yusia screamed.

“Yes? What do you mean!”

Taking a quick look, Yusia’s golden eyes staring at the staff in front of the portal were shaking greatly.

“Can’t I bring a glow-in-the-dark puzzle? Really?”

“For security reasons, bringing personal belongings is not allowed inside the Magic Tower. Please leave it in the storage room opposite the building.”

“I can’t… !”

Despair spread across Yusia’s face.

But if it’s Jim, I’m there too. I checked what I had brought with me.

『About Interference Collision Phenomenon of Summon Series』

『 Elemental study on ductile system 』

『Study on Pronunciation of Fairy Words According to Continental Dialects』

.

.

.

These are about 8 papers carefully selected and carefully selected by the library.

I, who had been in the library all along after dinner, had no choice but to move while carrying these papers in order to make time for Violet’s sudden call.

“Student. This is also included in your personal luggage and cannot be brought with you.”

As expected, it wasn’t long before the papers I was taking care of were also pointed out.

The eyes of all the students turned to me. Violet told me.

“Flan student. Leave it in storage.”

I thought about it and came to a quick conclusion.

I approached Baeolet. She handed her 8 papers that I had carefully selected.

“Please.”

Violet’s eyebrows twitched once.

“Flan student. Are you asking the professor to run errands?”

“No. Please put these papers in my guest room.”

“Now for the second time, Jim is out of the building…. No, what?”

“I am Jim.”

After semi-forcedly holding the thesis in her hand, I turned around.

I have tried homeless, but is it difficult to sleep in the storage room?

“What…. I beg your pardon? Hey. Flan student!”

I ignored it and quickly got on the portal.

I can’t see my papers sleeping in the cold.

“….”

As I was walking towards the archives, I suddenly felt a presence and looked back.

Something like a ball of white, soft feathers chases after me, then stops itself.

Our eyes meet naturally.

I asked Yoo Shia, who was smiling brightly, what was so exciting about it.

“What are we going to do?”

“Ah! Sir Plan!”

Yusia shouted as she lifted her box.

“Luminous puzzle!”
