Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 52

52 - Is there such an asshole....

52 – Is there such an asshole….

The aftermath of the match was huge, and it was just as annoying.

Among them, it was the reporters, including Sepia, who were the most extreme, and they all withdrew.

Although there was a condition for him to personally respond to the interview later…. That much was readily accepted. Because I needed a spare moment.

In front of the library. I checked the list of borrowed papers.

『Limits and Factors of Healing Magic』

『Study on techniques to realize observation』

.

.

.

Healing magic was what he had always been interested in, and other papers were borrowed to manifest his unique ability as magic.

Something that cannot be accessed by magic.

Others may feel that way as a unique ability, but to me, it still feels like ‘undiscovered and unknown magic’.

In other words, it is interesting and fun because I have something to study.

But then, there was a rustle of people next to me. I looked over there.

“Oh!”

When our eyes met, a loud reaction erupted. The distinctive white hair and golden eyes were now familiar.

Yusia opened her mouth.

“Sir Plan, I’ve been looking for you~”

“Why?”

Yusia smiled and stretched out her index finger.

“First of all, I want to congratulate Sir Plan on his victory. I clenched my fists throughout the game and watched!”

“How many times do you have it?”

She straightened up to her middle finger.

“The second is the end! While Sir Plann was playing, there was an insidious aura from outside the arena.”

Yusia patted her chest with her confident attitude.

“It is clearly a trace of an evil man or a bloody ghost. This me! Until midterms next week! I will stick right next to Sir Plan and protect you.”

Interim evaluation.

Come to think of it, the midterm evaluation of the bet with Scarlett, the Knight of Embers, was already right around the corner.

“… You are Yusia. What did you see with your fists clenched?”

“Yes?”

“I don’t need anyone’s bodyguard.”

“But this is my job! Just think of me as air and act normally.”

I packed up the papers and books and put them in my arms. I have to go back to the dormitory to get this off.

But now, when I looked at it, Yusia was dangling a small bag from her waist.

“What else is that?”

“It is a luminous puzzle. But I won’t.”

Yusia smiled.

“Because I also distinguish between public and private life. Of course, at most three people gathered, but it’s a pity that we didn’t do it….”

“There are two of them. What are you going to do when you can’t even count the numbers properly?”

Yusia’s head tilted.

“Yes? There are three of us.”

I followed Yusia’s gaze. And indeed, we could see another figure standing next to us.

Haley.

I didn’t even know it existed. Our eyes met in midair.

“….”

Haley then looked somewhat restless.

Usually, he always stared at me cheekily, but now he couldn’t even make eye contact.

Then Haley suddenly opened her mouth.

“Hey, flan.”

I only turned her head to look at her.

I’m busy, but I don’t like the hesitant attitude.

So I unknowingly crumpled my expression.

“….”

After a moment of awkward silence. Hailey shook her head.

“No, no…. Sorry. See you next.”

Haley turned her back and moved out of her seat, almost running away.

“Uh…. Miss Haley?”

Yusia looked at Haley’s back for a moment as she quickly moved away.

“Sir Plann, what happened to Miss Hayley?”

“It’s none of my business. Don’t care either.”

“Aha. All right.”

Yoo Shia doesn’t ask why. When I said yes, she immediately agreed.

Speaking of which, I took out my trivia and looked at it.

Trixie, Becky, Sepia…. There was a rush of all kinds of communication. It seems to be very busy for a while.

When I take a step, Yoo Shia takes a step. There was no escort knight.

Reluctantly, I opened my mouth again.

“Usiah. Do you want to keep me safe?”

“Sir Plan! It makes sense!”

“Then…. I want you to defeat these guys.”

I handed Yusia three of her theses.

“Oh! What is this?”

“Summarize only the key points. You can ask me anything you don’t know in between.”

Yusia nodded her head, her eyes shining.

“Yes!”

I looked her straight in the eyes and added.

“Be sure to defeat it and seize victory.”

“Yeah!”

Serious enthusiasm was evident in his face as he responded loudly.

Seriously, I was determined to defeat the thesis.

“Did you know?”

At that word, Scarlett’s hand that was handing over the documents stood tall and stopped.

Scarlett, the Knight of Remnants of Fire, quietly gazed across. There was Elesis, the leader of the Mysterious Canyon.

“The atmosphere outside was really crazy. Both here and there, it was full of stories about the Faculty of Knights losing.”

Scarlet snatched the papers from Elesis’ hand nervously with a snap.

Then, Elesis shook her hands in the air.

“Did you feel bad? Just talked.”

“Think about that on your own. However, it is up to you to bear it.”

“You must be in a bad mood.”

Elesis stretched her body.

“The bad guys are so annoying~ They suddenly appear on their own, I gave up on the game intuition and went to chase it, but suddenly something happens in that game?”

“You must have already watched the game through the time record.”

Scarlett’s red eyes turned to Elesis. Those eyes still burn gently.

“Oh, did you notice? After all, the knight of the fire is different.”

“The documents were definitely delivered. Just go No, turn it off.”

“No.”

Elesis sneaked towards Scarlett.

“It’s work to hand over the list of knight cadets we’ve made a fortune on, but it’s also work to hear stories of both.”

“What a story.”

“That’s obvious. How do you feel about this game, the knight of the fire?”

Scarlett rolled her eyes for a moment. She must have managed to swallow her anger.

After a while, her mouth opens.

“I should listen to your impressions first. Elesis.”

“This is my impression…. Do that what Instead, the condition is that Scarlett-sama also tell us her impressions.”

Elesis nodded her head and continued her words.

“Can I start by praising Ivan? It was a clean and uncluttered swordsmanship. She even showed the awakening of her unique abilities.”

Ivan is still listed as a Scout Target in the Mysterious Canyon.

Because the skills she showed were by no means insignificant. But….

“… But what, I lost. To flan.”

Elesis scratched the back of her head.

Plan’s skills, as confirmed through her time records, far exceeded Elesis’ expectations.

When she was about to express herself, she was at a loss as to what to say first.

“I feel dirty.”

Scarlett muttered with a wrinkled expression.

“Looks like that. Is it because Ivan lost? But, appreciation doesn’t end there, right?”

“If you lose, you lose. I have no intention of not being convinced by the results.”

“Then what makes you feel dirty…. I don’t know how to use mind reading. Right. Can I smoke here?”

Elesis took her cigarette out of her pocket.

But the next moment, Scarlett snatched it and put it in her own mouth.

Her cigarette was lit just by breathing in her mouth.

“… What’s up? Stop smoking.”

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“No. It’s okay, and I think it’s okay if you tell me what makes you feel dirty.”

From noble mtl dot com

“First of all, the knight let go of the sword.”

Scarlett looked back at the end of the match. Ivan must have been shocked, so he let go of the sword he was holding in his hand.

If she was her, she would never have done that.

Cut, cut, cut again…. Then, if she was not allowed to cut, she would have cut herself in her own weakness.

“But honestly, I can understand the feeling of missing out.”

At Elesis’ words, Scarlett bit off her cigarette.

“Flan copied Ivan’s swordsmanship as it was.

“That also makes me feel dirty.”

She must have been curious while she was talking, so Elesis continued her words with her tongue sticking out.

“Wizards have studied a lot of strategies to win against knights in battle. How many can you think of right now? Let’s see….”

Elesis’ eyes turned to the air.

“First of all, mages are at an absolute disadvantage in close combat.”

For wizards, magic to keep distance is essential.

It goes without saying that the attack takes place from a distance.

“Yes.”

Elesis burst out laughing as if it was absurd again.

“By the way, flan didn’t use any of the existing methods while fighting?”

“He didn’t borrow the old way….”

At Elesis’ words, Scarlett quietly nodded her head.

The cigarette was already charred from the too strong fire.

Breaking down the entire ground so you can’t step on it, giving you hallucinations so you can cut the wrong thing, using a summoned beast to buy time for chanting….

Plan did not use any of the typical methods that come to mind when thinking of wizards in this battle.

“It’s extremely rare to see someone imitating their opponent’s swordsmanship.”

Cases were inevitably rare.

Even if we put aside the matter of practicality first, it is an attempt that only high-ranking mages can attempt to embody the opponent as it is in the first place.

Scarlett’s face became serious after hearing the story.

Scarlett hinted.

“This must be the first time he’s seen Ivan’s swordsmanship, so it’s a story that he copied it on the spot.”

“Huh? Yes? This is a commoner-born wizard.”

A mage from a commoner.

There were so many meanings in that one word.

Wizards are basically a job that always suffers from financial problems, and if you are a common wizard, the experience will naturally be reduced.

There would have been no opportunity to observe other people’s swordsmanship.

“The ability to understand and observe is basically superior.”

“Have you ever wielded a sword yourself?”

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

“You asked.”

Scarlett’s eyes, wide open, were extremely sharp.

Elesis looked at it for about three seconds, then she suddenly shrugged her shoulders.

“You say such absurd things that I don’t know how to stop. Aren’t you talking about flan? We.”

“Yes.”

“It makes no sense. It just makes no sense.”

Elesis shook her head.

“Shall we assume that you summoned a doll based on your sword skills?”

Elesis placed her index finger next to her forehead and twirled it.

“Then it would be said that he has the same level of swordsmanship as Ivan. Does that make sense? A wizard?”

“Yes. Yes.”

Scarlett nodded her head.

However, on one side, neither side makes sense.

It was absurd, as Elesis said, that Plan had Ivan’s level of swordsmanship, but I also couldn’t understand that he was exceptional at magic.

Elesis clicked her tongue in pity.

“Then she had to scout Flan…. It really was the cheapest time.”

After muttering that for a while, Elesis suddenly looked at Scarlett and smiled.

“The knight department must be busy now. What are you going to do? If you bring up the story of participating in subjugation events at the Faculty of Magic.”

“Subjugation. Subjugation.”

Scarlett was brainwashed.

Unlike a one-on-one battle, subjugation is fought in a team of four.

Wizards have strong individual tendencies, so they don’t fit well with forming groups in the first place, and subjugation events have been used exclusively by knights.

“… Let it be I’m going to smash it.”

Scarlett clenched her fists.

Her clenched fist trembled. As if it will crush everything it catches.

“That’s just what they say. Would the Faculty of Magic do such a thing because they were crazy? No way.”

Elesis, who had been giggling for a while, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

“No, no. If it’s flan…. You might even want to leave.”

“Then you are literally crazy and doing that.”

“His faith in himself is beyond imagination. Can’t you remember already? What did you say about your victory?”

How can I not remember?

A mage beats a knight, that’s exactly what it is.

The voice of Plan who said that is still vivid in my ears. Scarlett involuntarily clenched her fists.

“… Originally, arrogant flirtation is a magician’s specialty.”

“But, no one calls Scarlet-sama arrogant, right?”

“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”

Then, with a meaningful smile, Elesis examined Scarlett’s every side.

“Flan and Scarlet have a strangely similar corner. Will she remain a cheeky bastard or become an unseen wizard? Do you want to watch me?”

“Elesis.”

Calling her name in a cool tone, Scarlett pressed her face toward Elesis.

The distance that the breath can reach. Scarlett’s face was serious.

“… Even after your body has been cut into ten pieces, can you still say that?”

“Why are you like this? It’s not such a bad thing to say.”

Sweat began to form on Elesis’ face.

Rather than sweating from tension or fear, Scarlett was actually emitting heat.

Then she suddenly looked at her own watch, and Elesis narrowed her brows.

“Ah, it appears again….”

Only then do the two women widen their distance.

She asked as Scarlett let out a deep sigh.

“Are you evil again?”

“Well, you have to go to find out whether they are evil or bloody. These days, there are suddenly a lot of them.”

“Whether you are an evil person or a bloody ghost, why are you messing around?”

“Probably a blood demon. There is a story going around these days.”

With a slightly mischievous smile, Elesis asked Scarlett indirectly.

“This is very advanced information, can you tell me something special?”

“If you listen to it and it’s nothing special…. I think I will be angry.”

“Ah~ Really. You are very sensitive today.”

Elesis tucked and kicked her tongue.

“Of course, there are high-ranking blood nobles. Was it a princess Anyway, there is an artifact that he is especially interested in.”

“By the way.”

“But~ the person who stole it must be around here. Actually, I don’t even know that. Did you just touch it, did you steal it, was it a student, a professor, or just a guy living nearby, or a Mine….”

Ha, it was so ridiculous that Scarlett snorted at her.

“Is there such an asshole…. Even if you don’t see it, it must be the work of a lesser villain.”

“Maybe? I have to go anyway I enjoyed the conversation.”

Scarlett nodded her head once, and Elesis disappeared.

Without saying a word, Scarlett pulled out a letter from her bosom.

[ Dear Lady Scarlett,

The head of Judith wants to have a luncheon.

I would like to visit with you. ]

The written date is next week.

Finally, it is the point where Plan’s midterm evaluation is over.

“….”

Normally, I would have torn it to pieces.

It must have been that way.

“You’ll have to check it yourself.”

This time, it wasn’t like that.
