Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 48

48 – You’ll have to keep doing that too.

“Nothing special.”

Right before the match.

After Ivan waited for ten minutes, only one word came out of Scarlett’s mouth.

With his hands behind his back politely, Ivan is looking at Scarlett.

There was quite a bit of commotion in the Knights Faculty of Marchen Academy today. The reason, of course, was the article of the residual fire that he had personally visited.

The meeting between Ivan and Scarlett was enough to make the hearts of the first year knight cadets throb.

“If you go to a game and trample your opponent, it’s over.”

“I will keep this in mind!”

“Let’s do it as usual.”

“I will!”

With half the spirited child in front of her, Scarlett turned her eyes to the newspaper she held in her hand.

[Plan, promotion of athletics in connection with the president’s opinion]

… Are you saying that you are the representative?

She doubts that.

Although he is only the representative of the first year, doesn’t it make sense that he beat all the other classmates with magic?

Actually, this is the reason I visited the academy today.

Many people understand that ‘Scarlett came to cheer Ivan up’, but…. In reality, it was because of the question toward Plan.

“Are you concerned?”

Ivan cautiously opened his mouth.

Scarlett’s eyes, burning like embers, rolled towards Ivan without a sound.

“I heard from her classmates. It’s very unusual for the Faculty of Magic to even send out newspaper articles….”

“Nerves.”

It’s a lie if it’s not written.

It’s disturbing, but I don’t know why it’s disturbing. Scarlett thought for a moment.

It cannot be suspected that she blindly contracted with the wicked. The Faculty of Magic isn’t such an idiot. Dislike and disapproval are two different things.

However, if it is not a contract, there is only one way to explain the plan’s growth.

‘Effort.’

It is not explained unless it is a level of effort to change the soul. Since she was born with knightly blood, her magical talents would of course be nil.

ㅡThe deadline is midterm evaluation.

Scarlett remembered the pact she made with Plan.

The confidence, determination and certainty he showed when he promised it….

“No.”

Soon, he shook his head.

Scarlett is confident that her eyes are extremely accurate. Her sharpened knight’s eye will show her only her truth.

Tak, a newspaper was thrown at Ivan’s feet.

“Do your best. I will watch.”

She didn’t even know if that meant watching over Ai Van.

◈

The sports match began in earnest.

In fact, the official name of the festival is ‘Merhen Sword Mating Festival’, and not only the name but also the method is unique.

It is not a simple festival in which all games of all events are played within a fixed period, and every moment in Marchen Academy is the Taeje period.

The cause is the ‘Sunwol-ilgyegi’, which allows only one event to be played per month.

However, today’s event, ‘combat’, has a special meaning.

This is because it is the first game of the year, in other words, the opening game of the Sword Mating Festival.

“… Everyone is lucky.”

It seems that today’s match is being watched by various scouts and members of the imperial family, but everyone is lucky.

[ Ivan’s perfect narrative…. ‘Undefeated’ ]

I also looked at some articles about the other party. Undefeated, I can’t wait to see what kind of guy he will be.

After training and parting ways with Yusia, I headed to the contestants’ waiting room.

Perhaps because it was the day of the match, the scenery was quite different from usual.

To put it bluntly, there are far more people.

The scene where the knight cadets and wizard cadets are intertwined is a spectacle that can only be seen on the day of the match.

“Uh, isn’t that Ivan? Nana! I want to go and say hello to Ivan!”

“No. Why does he say he’s an Ivan when he sees yellow hair?”

The atmosphere of the knight cadets is warm and warm. As if flower viewing came out.

“Drinks…. Should I buy it or not?”

“Don’t buy it. If the game ends before you even say a word, it’s f*cking unfair.”

Meanwhile, there are great concerns for the wizard cadets. Whether they cheered or not, their expressions were tense.

I indifferently passed between them, where arrogance crossed.

“Plan student~”

The moment I stepped into the aisle of the waiting room, someone clung to me. It was sepia.

“Isn’t reporting after the game?”

“It would have been like that if it was a news report. But, now you are visiting for personal reasons?”

“What is the business?”

Sepia held out a hand to me.

“I’m rooting for you. Flan student. And…. What else did you write? Merchen rank, Mr. Kaplan?”

“I do well even without support.”

I walked past her.

Sepia made a sound. It quickly clung to my side again.

“Please do that. This is confidential.”

Sepia takes out a paper bag and waves it around her.

“There is a professor who resigned because of your victory. He is a very precious person to me, so I must win. Oh, and….”

Sepia sneaks away from her.

“Should I go here? I think there are people who are more urgent than me.”

I didn’t care who it was, but someone swooped in my way.

The strong scent of roses pierced her nose. It was Becky.

At more than twice the speed of her normal speaking, she started pouring out her words.

“Oh, hello. They say chocolate is good when you’re nervous. I made it myself…. No, that’s not the point. Please accept this for now.”

“Yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

Received.

With a high probability of rejecting these items given by a woman, things become more troublesome.

“Flan. Is this purely for cheering? Huh?”

“I need a detailed explanation.”

“Oh, really! You saved me from the magic labyrinth back then. I haven’t forgotten that.”

Becky ran her fingers through my hair.

“So…. I’ll do a separate return later, and this just means a cheering car. I’m not that ungrateful.”

I looked at the amount of chocolate that was never small, and called her name in a low voice.

“Becky.”

“Huh?”

“… Did you have time to make chocolate?”

“Oh, ah? Time?”

Becky blushed, unable to meet my eyes.

“Well, just. Ordinarily? All day? No, was it shorter? Anyway. This is basic!”

“All day…. I get it.”

I left Becky behind.

How was it possible to make chocolate all day long? I pondered it for a while.

‘I’ll have to increase the amount of assignments in the future.’

[Magic Faculty Waiting Room]

I opened the door with my mind.

The chatter of the girls suddenly died down and the space suddenly became quiet.

Exactly six eyes were set on me…. They soon talk to each other.

‘Daily Employee of Sword Mating Festival’

That is what is written on the necklace-style name tags hanging around their necks.

Originally, they would have to take care of my condition right before the match, but…. I don’t need that kind of help, and they don’t seem to think so either.

I quietly closed my eyes and started clearing my mind.

“After all, did you become the representative? As you wish.”

Suddenly, someone started talking to me. I thought the face was familiar, but it was Haley.

I suppressed my annoyance and nodded roughly.

“Can you beat Ivan? If you can’t handle it, just stay still. Why did you take away the representative seat?”

I didn’t bother answering.

“Come to think of it, what is your relationship with Trixie? Did you feed the Fritz family anything?”

However, when he didn’t respond, the words became endless, so he had no choice but to open his mouth.

“Haley.”

At the same time, the first time I dwelled in this body. I remembered the words Haley had muttered to me.

“I want to date a man I magically admire…. I must have said that.”

Haley snorted.

“I remember it well. Why? Were those words particularly painful?”

“Are you willing to change your beliefs?”

“… ?”

Haley’s head tilted, and she burst into a big laugh.

“What do you mean by that? Please correct my thoughts and look at you one more time…. What kind of nasty confession is that?”

“You are at a crossroads, and I am just trying to advise you.”

I just keep talking calmly.

“I am not interested in you. Not at all.”

“….”

Haley frowned. She didn’t avoid that expression, she just looked down.

“You will continue to do so too.”

“Hey. I have no idea what you are talking about right now.”

My voice was tinged with venom.

“Because I will still love Louise? Do you think he’s a nerdy guy like you?”

I didn’t answer. Instead, they stepped towards the stadium.

One step. One more step.

“….”

At last an interesting landscape came into view.

I naturally looked at it, and soon smiled that even I couldn’t understand.

──A gigantic stadium bathed in brilliant sunlight, and the crowds filling it.

A gaze full of suspicion, or beyond that, a hostile gaze.

Complicated, incomprehensible gossip, someone’s flirtation.

One of the events of the Sword Master Festival where all of them are gathered together. Battle.

For me, Kaplan.

All of this…. It’s just a beautiful melody.

I stood in the middle of that melody. It wasn’t just me.

“Oh, I was waiting for you.”

A spirited tone.

Eyes with faith. A female knight with no malice and full of enthusiasm.

“This is not what many cadets are expecting. I am one of them.”

She planted her sword perpendicular to the ground and held out her right hand towards me.

“Let’s do well.”
