Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 46

46 – Okay. I’m in charge.

“President? What is that….”

Brody was the only one who spoke, but the faces of the other professors were no different.

A face as if asking what the hell he was talking about.

However, Cornette’s demeanor was still calm.

“Professor Brody. How is the overall public opinion right now?”

“Yes, President. I prepared.”

Brody began to spread something in the air.

[ Ivan’s Perfect Narrative… ‘Victory Won’ ]

[ After all, Ivan… No deduction for current grade]

.

.

.

“Most of them are convinced of Ivan’s victory, and the situation is that only articles like this are pouring out in the Marchen Daily.”

Cornette nodded his head with a relaxed expression.

“Then, this time, I will only ask for public opinion within the Faculty of Magic. Professor Audrey.”

“It is surprisingly tight. The influence of the poster posted earlier was so great that there are many students who raise their voices to do their best.”

After Audrey answered, Violet also mustered up her courage.

“There are quite a few students who are inspired by the phrase “Don’t be afraid of change.” Besides, as you can see, the flan student’s ability is also quite good….”

“By the way, President. You should know that this is student opinion. How much do young, emotional ones know?”

Brody interrupted and cut Violet off.

While their eyes crossed sharply in the air, Cornette opened his mouth once again.

“How much time is left until the sports competition? Everyone knows.”

“Two days. There are only two days left.”

At Brody’s words, Cornette nodded slowly.

“Yes. Enough to raise the plate.”

“No…. President?”

“Let’s talk with the Marchen Daily and send out articles from the Magic Department. The fact that the plan student became the representative, the confidence of victory…. I will send them all out.”

The faces of the professors, who had been slowly unraveling, turned pale once again. A professor who had been in the corner all along intervened.

From noble mtl dot com

“Are you saying you’re going to send out content that’s confident that the Faculty of Magic will win? It shouldn’t be that exciting.”

“It should be stimulating, so more people will be interested, right?”

The corner of Cornette’s mouth rises subtly.

“Whether it’s complaints or cheers, all those controversies are ultimately of interest, and if a representative student shows his skills in such a situation…. How fun that would be.”

“President. Absolutely not!”

Cried Brody.

“Provocation comes with a price. From the point of view of the Faculty of Knights, combat disciplines? It’s just one of those games that just slip by. But after the provocative article goes out, they will grit their teeth and try to win!”

The other professors sitting next to me also nodded.

“Is that all? Even from the point of view of students who said they wanted change, if the game was lost, they would say, ‘Well, that’s right. We can’t do it.’ And become even more frustrated. Shouldn’t this be avoided?”

A professor in charge of ‘transformation’. Professor Kelly also joined in.

“If the board gets bigger, the burden on the students will be enormous. I wonder if I can win even if I double my outstanding ability, but how much will I be able to do while being weighed down by the pressure?”

“Oops, did you only see it with my own eyes?”

Cornette turned to visual data. That alone reproduced various parts of the visual material.

The scene where Plan dismantles the magic bullet with his fingertips, and the scene where he confidently asks Elesis back.

After they were played again, the weight of the meeting room became even heavier.

“I have confirmed that this student has the talent of a true wizard.”

There was silence for a while. Brody was the first to break it.

“… Being able to defeat Ivan just by dismantling one magic bullet is an absurd leap.”

“Hey. Professor Brody. The president only said that he confirmed my talent. And really talented. What kind of freshman could do that?”

This time, Violet bit Brody’s tail.

Brody seemed to disapprove of her as he glared at her.

“Let’s say that I bought that talent and raised it. If you lose, Professor Violet, will you take responsibility?”

Liability.

At those words, the eyes of the other professors began to turn to Violet one by one.

When everyone’s eyes were finally fixed on just one person, Violet mustered up her courage.

“… Great. I started it in the first place, so I take responsibility.”

Violet pulled out a paper bag from inside her bosom.

Without explaining it, the other professors knew all too well what it was.

“A letter of resignation?”

Muttered Brody, squinting her eyes. Violet nodded quietly.

“Yes. If the Faculty of Magic suffers any damage due to this, I will take full responsibility.”

Maybe it’s already too late.

Ambition that could not be unfolded while colluding with the world, atonement for a student who had doubts, and the first step to becoming a true wizard….

She wanted to try something like this.

“Wow, that’s impressive. Impressive.”

Brody laughed.

“Impressive, Professor Violet. Even if she doesn’t know her subject, isn’t it too ignorant?”

“… I beg your pardon?”

“How can the damage to the Faculty of Magic be remedied just because one of you carries a gun? That is self-conscious man.”

But then.

“Then I will do this.”

Cornette opened his mouth. Everyone’s attention is drawn to that voice that has become quite chilly.

“Cornette Avery. As the president of the Faculty of Magic, I will carry the gun myself.”

“… !”

The entire conference hall was shaken without a sound.

Everyone was shocked, but there was not a hint of mischief on Cornette’s face.

“The meeting ends here. Everyone know that and go back.”

◈

Today, with only one day left until the sports match, I am spending time at the training ground all day.

Today, as well, I digested the amount of training I had set in advance.

Sweeping through wet hair. Looking in the mirror, I was already drenched in sweat.

However, a single flick of a finger is sufficient for post-processing.

Tak.

When I snapped my fingers, the water flowing on the surface coalesced into one and went straight to the trash can. This is the simultaneous use of elemental reactions and salt copper.

Perhaps it was because he pushed himself to the limit in each training, the effect is quite clear now.

The outline of the muscles of the whole body is now starting to have a difference even in my own eyes. The total amount of mana was also quite practical.

Hera has also been tamed, so if you start adding artifacts, you will be able to achieve great achievements soon.

Wrapping up my training, I picked up some newspapers from the Marchen Daily.

[Sports fight, do not avoid, but face it. ]

*Interview with the President of the Faculty of Magic Cornette

*Connet said that as a result of the meeting, “I will not lose against the Knights Faculty”…

[ Faculty of Magic 1st year combat representative is Plan ]

.

.

.

“I heard that even slugs have a knack for rolling.”

I muttered quietly as I folded the newspaper.

It’s only been a day since these articles were published, but the reaction inside the Faculty of Magic is very hot.

Just look at the bulletin board of Trivia, which has become a forum for discussion.

[I declared war, but the representative was a commoner student…. Is there a disgrace like this? ]

[ Already mocking all day in the Faculty of Engineering ]

[It’s better to try something, though ]

[Is this a reflection of the representative student’s intention? I want to do this to deliberately f*ck the student.]

Originally, the Faculty of Magic said that it was as quiet as a dead rat every time they had a sports match.

Currently, there are many people who are interested in sports games, and even students who are passionate about the story all day.

Concern that the entire Faculty of Magic will be damaged, the courage to try, the hope that something will happen….

The confusion mixed with all of them is the most auspicious sign for me.

“… You must be busy.”

The proposition is that dissolving doubt leads to certainty, and I prove that proposition this time.

Everyone will be convinced when the game is over.

The moment I left the training ground with that kind of heart.

“Ah. I finally found it.”

A cheerful voice full of confidence came from behind.

Soon, someone stood in my way. It was Elesis, the leader of the Mysterious Canyon.

“You know me?”

Instead of answering, I stared blankly.

I know. You remember a person you’ve seen once.

“What is the business?”

“I have something to give you.”

She handed me a business card.

The business card with a blue coating like a jewel is absolutely not ordinary even at first glance.

[ ‘Mysterious Gorge’ leader Elesis]

Elesis opened her mouth, putting on her confident expression.

“I want to see you in private later. Are you fine?”

I looked into Elesis’ eyes. Purple eyes are uncharacteristically calm and mysterious.

“I refuse.”

“Isn’t that completely private? A little bit about the mysterious canyon…. Huh?”

I researched the Mystic Gorge separately, and I also recognized that they are a great group in this world.

However.

On the day of the evaluation, Elesis arbitrarily disengaged her safety device, which bothers me.

“Why don’t you listen and say no? This is a situation that other kids dream of every day.”

Elesis crumpled her expression.

This woman will try to prove me whenever she is curious.

I have no intention of degenerating into a passive toy. Proof has meaning only when I find what I want and do it.

First of all….

‘I will make it myself.’

I am not interested in joining the 1st place guild. If you’re making one yourself and raising it, it’s a different story.

Elesis opened her mouth again.

“Flan, you probably know it yourself, but…. Your talent is rather good.”

Her expression became a little serious as she continued talking.

“Then the question here, how many times do you think I have seen guys who were called geniuses slowly fall into abyss?”

“How many times have you seen it?”

I don’t think you’ve seen more than me.

It’s an honorable moment for someone, but for me it’s just a very cheeky situation.

“I’ve seen it countless times. Just accept it now Because kids like you need a proper mentor.”

“No need.”

I handed her her business card back. Alice’s eyes narrow.

“Ha…. Okay? Tomorrow’s game, I’ll keep an eye on it.”

Elesis accepted her own business card with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

“If you lose…. You will regret it Because the moment when your ransom was the highest would be right now.”

“What.”

I started walking past Elesis.

Whether she was embarrassed or offended, she doesn’t care. Unknowingly, a smile leaked from her lips.

“… Now is the cheapest price.”
