Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 66

66 – I love you.

“Huh? Hey, uh, hey… ! Ph, Ph, Flan!”

The next morning.

As usual, I ran into Becky on the way back to the dormitory after personal training. She reacted twice as loudly as usual.

“Did you see that? Yesterday… ! Oh no. Should I ask if I know? Know? Yesterday, yesterday, yesteryear!”

Becky uttered nonsensical words. Every time I waved her arm, the thick scent of her rose hit me.

Surprisingly, I understood what she was saying.

I nodded her head moderately.

I was the person involved, but I couldn’t help but know.

Whoo— Ha— Whoo— Ha—

After taking a few deep breaths to catch her breath, Becky opened her mouth again.

“I work hard. I’m not talking like this, she said she won at all. Is that true? Really?”

“Let me ask you one thing first. Why are you paying attention to that remark?”

Then Becky’s eyes widened. She clenches her fists and lets out her rave.

“Of course pay attention to that! If you just say you’re doing your best, then you’ll just think that’s it— and move on.”

“At the same time.”

“If you nail it down saying you will win, the eyes of any department will light up properly! It seems that the seniors are talking about you now.”

Exactly.

She nodded her head in satisfaction.

The sea was intended in the first place. A simple determination to do one’s best can never draw everyone’s attention.

But now the story is different.

It was nailed down to win the championship, and the subjugation system is an event that even 2nd graders can participate in.

What kind of expressions do the knights have by now?

Actually, facial expressions are not important. It was enough if they looked forward to the subjugation with their eyes lit and their fists clenched.

But that was then.

“Over there.”

A low, calm voice. At the same time, the scent of jasmine wafted up.

The owner of the voice was Trixie.

Sweaty skin, a towel hanging from the wrist, and the everyday scenery are quite awe-inspiring since the subject is Trixie.

She seemed to have just finished her morning training.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to do it today?”

“Eh, huh? What are you two doing today?”

Becky looked at me with eyes demanding an explanation. Trixie’s question must be the ‘confrontation’ promised earlier.

I shook my head.

You have to receive a report from Maiev, and based on that, make a detailed plan…. There was a lot of work to be done right now.

“How about the day after tomorrow?”

“The day after tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

After silently rolling her eyes a few times, Trixie nodded in clear understanding.

But still, Trixie didn’t take her steps. Instead, she started staring at me.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“….”

Trixie is still silent. Our confrontations were getting longer, and I hated wasting time.

“If there is nothing to see, go your own way.”

“Subjugation system.”

Punishment. Trixie muttered that at first.

“Subjugation system?”

“… He said he was leaving.”

“I think so.”

“The other three.”

Trixie seemed to be curious about the three people who would make up the same group as me.

In fact, all three have been nominated. As soon as I found out about the existence of the subjugation system, I immediately decided. And, observing meticulously at Sapphore, I was convinced of that idea.

However, it was not a story that could be told now.

Especially when the opponent is Trixie.

“….”

After staring at me for a while, Trixie just turned around and went on her way.

Becky looked at her back and said a word.

“Trixie is very interested in subjugation. Well, since that happened, is it natural….”

“Is there a reason why there should be a lot?”

After about three seconds of silence, Becky jumped up like a frog.

“Ah, ah, no? Go, because it’s not something I would dare to tell. I’m not even sure…. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Huh!”

Is there something I don’t know about?

But soon, I decided not to care.

“Yes. I will go first.”

“Uh, huh? Wait for a sec! Even with rice… !”

◈

Returning to the dormitory, I looked around the corner of the room. A picture that hadn’t been there before was hanging there.

World of Huajung (畫中世界).

Maiev is currently living here. I went inside to meet her.

“I really like it.”

The world, which had been completely white, was now well organized.

Starting with the office, the training ground, the research room…. Branches of magical power were intertwined to draw various buildings.

I sat in my office and called the name of the servant.

“Maiev.”

Then she showed up right away.

Silver hair that glistens like dew, red eyes unique to blood demons, and sharp ears.

The graceful curves that make up the body will be quite attractive as a woman in the eyes of others.

“Yes.”

“What I ordered.”

“I did everything.”

Perhaps realizing a moment too late that something was wrong with her, she hurriedly increased her words.

“Yo. No, I did everything~”

It is very awkward to forcefully implement a friendly tone. He even tried to smile warmly when our eyes met.

“….”

I looked at her with her keen eyes.

Several sheets of paper landed on the wide wooden desk, and I mentally lifted them up to examine them.

[ “Unconditional victory.” Plan, Unparalleled Confidence]

[I was eliminated the year before last, I was eliminated last year, and the subjugation system at the Faculty of Magic was ‘nonsense’ ]

.

.

.

“As instructed. No, as you instructed, I narrowed down the ones I felt were important.”

Despite the fact that only one day had passed since the interview, there were quite a number of newspaper articles.

It’s about this much, so there must be more in reality. It’s still pouring.

‘Enough.’

This is enough to get the topic. I can say that it came out as much as I intended.

Maiev puts another sheet of paper on her desk.

“Next…. Trivia reactions.”

“How did you guess this?”

“For, against, indifferent. It is broadly classified into these three…. We self-censored anything we deemed useless.”

It’s worth watching. I nodded.

[I won the battle event, but isn’t there anything I can’t do with the subjugation system? Let’s have some fun this year. ]

[But isn’t it too dangerous…. During the Subjugation Festival, if you get hurt or die, you literally get hurt and die. ]

[1St graders are so arrogant, if you don’t follow your opinion, you’re not even a wizard.

.

.

.

Worries, concerns, dissatisfaction, expectations…. This too is going well as planned.

A storm will sweep through Marchen Academy. However, it is a very good storm that will turn the place you passed into a wheat field instead of a wasteland.

I closed my eyes for a moment and thought quietly.

In the future, we will just do what we planned.

“Hey, Master.”

But because of Maiev’s voice, the thoughts didn’t last long. I narrowly opened my eyes and looked at the slave in front of me.

She averted my eyes from her sly.

“Master…. You, you, you….”

“The owner is enough. Get to the point.”

“Ah, master. Why are you doing this?”

Why are you doing this…. He didn’t have to worry a bit to answer.

“Because we need a change.”

“I must have asked the wrong question. I will ask you this time.”

Maiev glances at me with her sneaky look.

“This is…. Is it a must?”

“Maiev.”

I have freed my mind. There is a churn—papers neatly piled up on the desk.

“I will do anything that helps the world of magic in the slightest. I will do what I have always done, and do what others have never done. So this….”

Our eyes meet in the air.

In her red eyes, my self-confidence was reflected like a mirror.

“This is something I must do. Got it?”

“… Is that so.”

From noble mtl dot com

Maiev avoided my gaze and nodded her head.

“As expected, I am the owner. It’s really great.”

“I just need to know.”

I straightened my collar and prepared to leave.

“Two thousand. The material was pretty good. From now on, focus on completing the training facility.”

“Of course.”

Just as I was about to leave the Hwajung World, something bothered me.

Kwadeuk—!

An intangible hand caught something flying towards me. Turning her head, Maiev was holding her dagger in reverse.

Since it couldn’t be done with magic, it must have tried to use physical force. It’s an outrageous idea.

This must have been the reason why he was exceptionally kind.

“… !”

Maiev, who was caught with her arms raised, tried to pull her body out with all her strength when her eyes met mine.

“This…. Let go of this.”

However, there is no way that her gripped wrists will come off. In this world of illusion, I had the upper hand in terms of mental strength.

Maiev glared at me as if to kill me.

“Let this go now!”

However, the reality is not easy. It was all I could do to shake her body while holding her by the wrist.

“Human…. Some kind of human is trying to enslave me… ! Kill, kill! You must be… !”

I smiled.

I slowly approached her and grabbed her chin.

“Ahhh… !”

“Maiev. I love you.”

“What do humans say…. Ugh!”

Gradually putting strength into her hand that gripped her chin, I muttered calmly.

“Also, I like you.”

“Ugh…. Oh my gosh….”

Maiev tried to purse her lips again and again. Each time, the sharp fangs unique to the Blood Demon flashed.

“Rather than a slave who obeys without any resistance…. I like it when you try to test me.”

“Yes…. What are you…. This, human subject….”

“Doubt and confirm me every moment. I am always proud, so I am neither offended nor afraid.”

Pak-!

“Ugh, ugh!”

Her intangible hand pushed her behind her, and Maiev sat down gracefully on her floor.

“Try it a hundred times and a thousand times, so that you can understand me yourself.”

“Haa…. Ha….”

Maiev glared at me with rapid breathing. Her red eyes are filled with only hostility.

“….”

However, he soon avoids my gaze and quietly inserts the dagger into the product.

I can’t even imagine the shame and humiliation she will feel. But you wouldn’t even have to imagine it.

Leaving her alone with her, she leisurely left her world of fire.

◈

Clever—!

Right after leaving the Chinese world, someone knocked on the dormitory door.

“Ah, flan student.”

When I opened the door, there was an unexpected person standing there.

White hair, purple eyes, and a witch-like cone hat…. It was Professor Violet.

“Are you busy right now?”

After asking that, she suddenly shook her head by herself.

“No, even if you are busy, you have to do this first. I have to go to the president’s office. Right Now.”

“The president’s office?”

Violet nodded urgently.

“Yes. The president is looking for a flan student. Once, once…. Shall we talk as we go? We.”

We started walking side by side. Violet looked at me with strange eyes and pursed her lips.

“This time, I made a big explosion. Well, I thought it would be like that if you were a flan student.”

“I think you understand me a little now.”

“Literally a little bit. I wish I could know more.”

Perhaps she was in a hurry, Violet was sweaty all over, but she smiled lightly at me.

His expression was more cheering than worry.

It seems that the dark circles under my eyes have softened a bit. Her face brightened a little.

“Oh right. Come to think of it.”

As if she had suddenly remembered something, Violet opened her mouth again.

“Professor Audrey asked me to come to the lab before.”

“Yes.”

“That…. What happened? Did any other professors suggest anything? I’m just asking out of curiosity.”

Violet is fiddling with the tip of her cone hat. I guess that was what bothered me.

I shook my head.

“I declined. There were no other offers.”

“Oh, is that so? Aha. I see.”

He nodded his head with a strangely relieved expression. Three seconds later she added hastily.

“Ah. Just in case, I’m not bringing this up to make a suggestion. I am not suggesting.”

“Yes.”

“I have never been solicited, and no one has ever applied for an assistant. Because my research is so strange.”

“… ?”

Unbeknownst to me, I narrowed my eyebrows.

Even the most notorious professor has at least one assistant. What on earth do I have to study so that I can’t even get an application?

I was naturally interested.

“What do you study?”

“Me? My research? Oh, then can I show you?”

It’s a strangely happy expression. At the same time, her peaked cap began to twitch.

Frog─

After a while, a frog jumps out of the hat.

“Oh, this guy.”

After holding her frog back, she held out a piece of paper to me. She looks like a real witch

“… !”

And after a while, I opened my eyes involuntarily. Violet, who was watching, smiled bitterly.

“I don’t know what you mean? It’s kind of weird.”

“Strange. Surely.”

I answered without the slightest hesitation. I can say this with great certainty.

… This is an ancient rune.

An ancient rune word that did not exist in the previous world.

It was written the same as the rune word written in the ‘dream’.

“I admit it too. All the other professors are tearing up…. Well, it’s a constitution that likes things like this.”

“I will look at this separately.”

She put the paper into her bosom.

“… That? It doesn’t matter because it’s a copy.”

Around that time, we arrived at the hallway where the president’s office was. For now, it was time to break up with Violet.

Finally, the moment we walked and reached the huge wooden door.

“Oops…. I waited until my throat fell off.”

Again, before knocking on the door, I heard the voice of President Cornette.
