Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 6

6 – Garbage

The breakfast at the luxurious mansion was quite satisfactory.

A cutlery with a mouth-watering aroma, a soft texture, a proper balance, and a taste to pick and use.

Enjoying good food, even on this side of the world, was Kaplan’s small happiness.

However, the meal would have been a little more satisfying if the boy’s older sister hadn’t been staring.

‘She’s like a model for knights.’

Scarlet Judith. This is a brief impression that Flan made after meeting her.

The first thing I noticed was the black hair that took on pitch-black darkness.

Despite being tied up like a horse’s tail, it is quite long. As a prosecutor, that would be pretty annoying.

But as a woman, she’s great. It was self-evident that it doubled the charm of her appearance.

She also had red eyes, the symbol of this family.

However, there are some differences.

The boy’s eyes looked like clear jewels when he looked in the mirror, but the eyes of the female knight were more like burning flames.

“You’ve become pretty good at using tableware.”

Sharp eyes and tone. Itself is a sword.

Judging from the fact that there are no gaps, it must be a fairly famous article.

At her words, the boy nodded moderately.

She lived like an aristocrat after proving a lot of things, even though she was born in Viruhan.

Therefore, these trivial things are ingrained into his body like a habit.

Also, reading books about this world all night, I noticed that the tableware etiquette in this world is the same as in the previous world.

“Did you practice separately?”

“Not really.”

Then, Scarlett looked at the boy with eyes that seemed to be unable to understand her intentions.

Of course, Plan was busy shaking Scarlett’s hand when he was sitting face to face with Scarlett.

But today, aren’t you very good at using tableware, and are you calm?

“Trash.”

Garbage. While we were eating, Scarlett muttered that out of nowhere.

Do you mean to ask the maid to come closer because I have something to throw away? I ignored the flan and continued eating.

“Hey, crap.”

She murmured again and their eyes met in mid-air. She was staring blankly at Plan.

“Trash… Could it be that you called me just now?”

“Who else is it? In flame knight families, things that can’t even be kindled are called trash.”

But that’s right. Calling her brother trash.

This family also knows the law. Ignore flan and quietly move the utensils.

He had no reason to take offense at Scarlett’s remarks. Because it’s someone else

“I heard that he applied for the Faculty of Magic at the Academy and was accepted.”

Plan nodded roughly. Probably because it looks like that.

“Do you intend to continue attending?”

There was no end to her sharp gaze and stories.

I just want to enjoy my meal, but the noise that keeps interfering is getting annoying.

If the disciple had done this while eating, her telekinesis would have tugged at the ear.

But this is the boy’s mansion, and the one in front of him is the boy’s older sister.

That fact increased Kaplan’s patience a little.

Meanwhile, Scarlett is urging her.

“Trash. Are you asking if you want to continue?”

“I have to go.”

It was natural for the academy to become more interested in pursuing truth and wisdom.

Move the fork and knife gently.

Properly cooked steak is pierced with a fork, cut into small pieces so that the seasoning does not stick to the mouth, and put in the mouth.

I think the scent is a bit disappointing, but I can feel Scarlett’s subtle gaze.

“Why do you keep staring at me?”

“…… “

Scarlett quietly licked her lower lip and studied her little brother.

A little different.

No. It’s not a slightly different level.

An attitude full of dignity and dignity. Confidence that crossed the borders of arrogance beyond her self-confidence.

What the hell is that? Even the way he speaks has completely changed.

Resting on her chin for a moment, he was engrossed. What was the trigger and what happened to make it change like this?

You stare at me like that.

“What a mess.”

Flan’s voice hit my ears from an unexpected place. The eyes of the two met in midair.

“Is it etiquette in this family to rest your chin during a meal? I don’t think so.”

“…… Under.”

Scarlett laughed out loud.

Did you dare to point out Scarlett just now? It’s not a mistake, but the boy was too ignorant of his subject.

“Trash. You shouldn’t be so proud.”

Scarlett nervously patted a piece of paper and raised it with her voice.

“It was very cold in the north.”

With a layer of seriousness in her expression, she continued her words.

“I slashed the enemy, slashed sleep, slashed the cold, and slashed anything to survive. Why?”

Frank was not interested in the reason.

However, since he was not polite enough to eat in front of a serious conversation, he quietly stopped his fork and knife.

“Judith.”

Scarlett points to the pattern on the chest of her uniform. A blazing sword.

“It’s just for Judith. The status of the family we have built must never be lost. However.”

Scarlett gently pushed the raised paper with her fingertips. Plan quietly looked at it.

[ F ]

The seal of Merhen Academy, the fact that I passed the various subjects.

There were many things written, but in the end, the key was the grade.

“This is the data I received as soon as I returned. You mean I came back to get something like this?”

Plan had no idea.

It didn’t matter how he was treated at the academy or how much prowess he showed.

The important thing is that the only thing that dwells in the boy’s body right now is the soul of the archmage.

That calm expression and silence infuriated Scarlett even more.

“Stop it.”

Putting down the knife and fork, Scarlett said so.

“What.”

“Of course, Academy magazine. Quit the Faculty of Magic and apply again to the Faculty of Swordsmanship.”

“If not.”

“You will no longer be Judith.”

Scarlett’s voice, burning like embers, continues.

“You are the shame of Judith. Don’t think that I’ll be generous like the head of household. I have no intention of allowing you to tarnish the family’s prestige.”

“Silchu?”

“Yes. Loss. The fact that he applied for the Faculty of Magic with a knight family name is enough to make him laugh.”

“Um.”

“Even the grade is at the bottom. Aren’t you ashamed of being a nuisance to the family?”

Atmosphere like walking on a blade.

The maids standing at regular intervals around them were crying as if they would cry if touched.

There were quite a few maids who were so frightened that they clenched their front hems in their fists.

However, Kaplan raises the corner of her mouth subtly.

“What if I don’t lose it?”

“What are you talking about?”

Scarlett is straight. Red eyes burned quietly.

“If I don’t undermine this family’s prestige, what if I give them greater glory?”

“The lowest grade… play a joke on me.”

Scarlett’s expression was the same as that of someone ignoring the powerless Kaplan a long time ago.

So, I’m used to it.

After a while, Scarlett called for Plan again.

“Hey, crap.”

From noble mtl dot com

“What is it?”

“You know what knights like the most.”

A duel? Well, he, who has walked the path of a wizard, has no way to know such a thing.

“Proof.”

“Proof?”

“Yes. Proof. You, who have not been able to prove anything until now, are you saying that you are honored to be able to prove something?”

Proof.

Proof.

I chewed on that word two or three times and then I laughed unconsciously.

Surprisingly, isn’t it the same as his favorite word?

“I will prove anything.”

“Are you going to prove anything?”

“Yes. I just want to do magic.”

After wiping her hands with a handkerchief, Scarlett rubs her chin with her hand.

“Anything…”

It’s the first time in my life that my younger brother shows such an attitude. I’m a little curious about what the hell confidence is.

So, he asked with a subtle expression.

“What if I can’t prove it even if I give it time?”

“You must agree to my conditions. Whether you are kicked out of the family or holding a sword.”

Scarlett’s worries grow longer.

“Then let’s do this.”

And finally, she made a decision.

“The deadline is midterm evaluation. Raise the rating to the highest level. Also, you must never mention the Judith family while attending the Faculty of Magic.”

Scarlett puts her clasped hands on the table. She propped her own chin on it.

“This is my last mercy. How are you?”

“I will accept it.”

Plan nodded easily.

“Instead, if you succeed in proving it, don’t interfere in my affairs again.”

“If it succeeds, so be it. If that fails, Judith will treat scum like you… “

“Let’s go.”

Kaplan stood up quietly.

There was no reason to listen to Scarlett’s story. Because she doesn’t even think she’ll fail.

A few memories from the past come to mind and scatter.

There were always people who asked him for proof.

I have proven a lot of things. It was always the same what I asked for as a proof of award.

Stop meddling with him.

That’s enough. As long as he doesn’t interfere, he doesn’t care whether he resents or praises him.

“… I haven’t finished eating yet, where are you?!”

I heard an angry voice from behind, but I didn’t stop.

“Shall we go?”

It was time to go to the academy.

Again, just proof.

◈

The academy uniform is very awkward.

Anyway, I came out of the mansion. I was thinking of just walking.

My brain remembered the route I walked with Becky. I was thinking of walking the opposite way to the academy.

“Bocchan, I will take you there.”

A vehicle I had never seen before was waiting with a servant.

The appearance of this four-wheeled vehicle was not much different from that of a wagon.

However, if there is a difference, is it only that there is no leading word in front?

‘I’ve seen it before.’

On the first day I came to the mansion, the outline for this vehicle was clearly written in the study I stayed up all night looking at.

The name was a car.

“Lady Scarlett told me to help the boy go to and from school until the mid-term evaluation.”

Either way, my gaze and interest were directed toward the car.

The driving force that moves the car body without the power of the horse. Just curious about that

“Move this.”

“Yes? First, you have to get on…”

“Come on. Anything is fine.”

After hesitating, the servant got into the front seat of the car. After a while, a booming sound is heard and the car body rattles.

Moving around, examining it from various angles.

Not only the appearance, but also the flow of internal mana by placing a hand on the trembling body.

‘Four.’

At its core, there were four barrels containing mana.

They do their job without a break. Intake, compression, explosion, exhaust repeat and repeat.

Has this world progressed this way?

I’m happy for nothing. Maybe the desire to win blooms.

“I… young master! We have to start slowly… !”

“Ride now.”

“Yes!”

I looked at the scenery outside the car window.

I couldn’t see it because it was night when I was walking with Becky, but it was quite nice to see it outside under the brilliant sunlight.

A huge front gate that makes you wonder if you are going to another world, and a road full of lively flowers and trees.

There are so many different buildings that you can’t even count them.

Marchen Academy has everything.

… It was a place I would prove in the future.

“Good job.”

“Yes!”

After getting off, there were a lot of things I had to adapt to. First of all, it was a huge crowd.

Those who appear to be students, staff, and others… I was aware of it, but when I saw the crowd in person, it looked like a cloud.

I was standing still and thinking about what to do now, but someone punched me in the back of the head.

“Hey!”

A clear voice that is heard at the same time. The expression is naturally crumpled.

Even if I got used to everything else, it was especially difficult to get used to the feeling of someone touching my body.

I turned around and identified the culprit.

“…… You.”

A girl with red hair hanging down to her waist was looking at me.

“Flan!”

Yes, it was Becky.
