The guide voice that spreads through the command hall
“Final damage 520,000”
As if it could not happen in real life, a wonderful number is sent out.
“What… what…”
“What happened?”
“Didn’t I see some kind of fantasy right now?”
Students finally break the silence and let out their feelings in the silence that continues
However, there were still students who could not accept the reality and just had their eyes widened or their mouths open.
“Where did the ore go…??”
With those words, he turned his gaze back to the spot where the ore had sprung up until before.
The scene unfolding there is just a black landscape
In a black world where everything burned and only ashes remained, the place where the ore was located was just melted and there was only dark red molten iron that vibrated with an unpleasant smell.
A place swept away by a catastrophe that cannot be described even if it happened in an instant.
“Student Harold? What kind of magic did you do?”
Even the professor shuts his mouth at my magic, showing only an absurd look.
“It’s just a way of measuring and doing everything you can.”
I wanted to tell the mod that I didn’t want to believe, that it was my pure skill without any tricks, so I was as blunt and confident as possible.
“Did a freshman really do that?”
“Aren’t you just showing your fantasy to everyone by using mental magic?”
“And there wasn’t even a chant?”
“Is this the talent that only a few people have heard of, Youngchang Mu?”
However, despite such innocent remarks, students still cannot accept the reality.
And especially among them…
“It’s absurd! It’s not realistically possible!”
The handsome princess who made fun of me, confident of victory before even proposing a match, protests.
“It’s realistically possible to create this spectacle?! Even if that were the case, it doesn’t make sense that a person with such abilities came to this academy as a single student!”
He calls out his own feelings and questions in a way that others can empathize with.
The reason I came here was not to improve my pure magic skills, but to learn how to cast magic, so I only had such questions.
However…
“Anyway, you lost the bet. Hwang. Nyeo.?”
Her body trembles when she calls Marika again and again with a deliberately droopy tone.
“”
Surely now, this scene could not have been incomprehensible to others.
But that’s it and that’s a different matter
It was unmistakably true that he had lost none other than his own mouth in a bet he had no right to veto.
“I know that the princess’s damage is around 8000~? But what was my damage?”
520,000
“……”
He just keeps silent and casts a negative gaze on me at the very sharp difference in ability, but he frowns because it’s not right.
Even if the calculation is really simple and careless, the difference in ability between her and me is 60 times or more.
Still, he had a conscience enough to know such a fact. Some of his unpleasant eyes were also mixed with worries and fears about the future.
“This is a suggestion that the princess herself said, that if you lose the bet, you can get absolute command… If that’s the case, would I be able to give orders to the princess from now on?”
Squeezing the most evil expression on her face, she begins to back away.
“That… this is…!!”
“Are you going to say that this match will be null and void? Do you think the princess, who will be in charge of the country in the future, is not as responsible for what she said herself?”
“Uh… that’s rude!”
She felt anger, but no hatred.
Hatred was a feeling that was used for objects that were similar to each other or slightly lower or higher than oneself, and in the face of such a stark difference, it was bound to turn into fear.
“I originally wanted to go beyond normal, but none other than the princess was the first to speak up, so please take responsibility for those words.”
I take a confident step towards her.
“for a moment…”
She tried to distance herself from me accordingly, but her feet don’t seem to come off easily.
Soon after, it gets right in front of her nose, and she bites her lip and looks up at me gently.
“Absolute command…”
It was none other than muttering the reward she offered in the match.
“Aww!”
At those words, I was afraid of what I was going to say, so I closed my eyes tightly and showed a weak side that should not be shown to the princess who should be proud.
“I just do things that didn’t happen.”
“What…?”
However, contrary to her anxiety, I do nothing and pass her by.
“……”
Even if this was a bit unexpected, she blinked for a while and just stared into the air with a somewhat curious and surprised face.
The atmosphere of this place, where I felt even the pressure, finally eased a little bit after my words were gone.
“So…”
To take a break, I sit on the bench I was sitting on before and recover my energy in a position that is as comfortable as possible.
Ugh….
In fact, I showed all my confidence in front of her, but I was in such a mess that I couldn’t do anything right now.
Headaches and dizziness that came so badly that my vision went in and out… I couldn’t tell from the outside, but now I was on the verge of losing my mind due to the symptoms of depletion of my magic.
Perhaps the reason for skipping this incident was that she was in such a bad condition that she didn’t even think about what to do to Marika.

Needless to say, I just want to rest for now… That was the only thought.“Hmm… Then everyone’s turn is over, so let’s go back to the classroom.”
The last word from the professor soon announced that the situation had finally come to an end.
◆◆◆
“……..”

Now that it was a kind of break, and there was a little time until the next class, the students were reducing their fatigue from learning in their own way.“……..”
So the action I took was to lie down and recover the energy by recovering even a little of the magical power that was still worn out.
It was still the first day, so it felt like I was left alone in this place because there were no students I knew.
And above all…
“You’re still like a dead mouse…”
“I’m an unknown freshman…”
The eyes of our current class students are very friendly.
From the first day onwards, it was not enough to have an argument with the princess, who was none other than the highest power in the kingdom, but because she exercised her extraordinary skills, it was worth it.
I feel like I’ve been removed from society…
There was something sad about it, but it didn’t bother me at all.
We didn’t see each other for a long time anyway, so I’m just trying to ignore the passing relationship…
“Harold?”
I heard a girl’s voice whispering to me in my ear.
“Did you disturb me?”
Its true identity is Aris, and she smiles at me, just like her first impression.
“It’s fine, what’s going on?”
“I just want to share a few things with you.”
He sits next to me, which is now empty, and gives me a warm gaze.
“story?”
“What kind of magic is that? With that kind of power, it really is the skill of an archmage that will go down in history.”
Unlike others, I didn’t have any distractions, so I felt a little comfortable.
“The most powerful magic that I can use, I don’t know how I learned it, but I was able to use it sooner or later.”
She was a little puzzled by the slightly meaningful answer, but she only revealed novelty and had no boundaries against me.
“Herald is amazing, if he had that level of skill, he wouldn’t have to go here.”
“However, the power is so strong that the magic power is consumed once used… Of course, there are some that aren’t, but the magic I use is usually large-scale, so it feels like it’s a one-time use every time.”
However, despite my shortcomings, Aris encourages me casually.
“What do you want to say that it’s amazing that you can still use it?”
Aris continues to praise me and I deny it…
At that time, we were talking to the extent that we couldn’t figure out what the topic of the alternative conversation was…
“Herald, I have something to tell you, so come out for a second.”
But the voice of a woman breaking in between the two of us makes everyone in this classroom shut up.
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? I have something to talk about for a while, so come out.”
The owner of the voice is Marika, the princess of this country… He was looking down at me with a serious but not hostile look.
The atmosphere of the classroom subsided in an instant at her remarks, like the training ground before, there was stillness.
“Harold… I think you should go.”
I get up from my seat without a hitch, following Aris’ advice whispering to me, wondering what the hell is going on with me.
“There’s not much left until the next class, so I’ll pass it on and finish it.”
Following Marika, who calmly spoke as if nothing major was going to happen, I moved out of the quiet classroom.
◆◆◆
“I’m sorry earlier.”
Marika’s voice rings first in the place where the end of the footsteps are reached, where there are few people, and in this place where only me and her remain.
“yes?”
Embarrassed by the sudden remark, she captures a moment of displeasure, but explains it in more detail.
“I wanted to say that I’m really sorry for making a suggestion that was not good enough to look down on you and slap you on the cheek. You didn’t feel like you were finished at the command post earlier, did you?”
As she said, there was no sense of a little chaotic knot.
“I do…”
“So, I want to tell you separately, no matter how much power you are, even if you are a princess, you do not act recklessly and take no responsibility.
Still, maybe she’s not a clogged up personality, but the fact that she can communicate in some way has changed her perception in my head.
“That… and…”
But instead of saying the next thing, he suddenly trembles and hesitates as if an internal conflict has arisen as to whether or not to bring this out of his mouth.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
When I asked her with a sense of urging, she was still troubled, but she came to me with a girly face with a big decision.
“Thank you…! It’s me who’s the bad guy, but for forgiving me in an unfavorable situation…!!”
Perhaps thanks for giving up and passing on the absolute command right given to the winner earlier?
“it’s okay.”
Marika’s expression brightened at my resolute words, and her shyness seemed to have diminished to such an extent that she felt that she was a classmate rather than a princess.
“Um… So all I have to say is, let’s go back because class is about to start.”
The time really starts to go back the way it came before the next class starts, as if agreeing with that statement.
However…

No matter how much I walk, I pretend not to feel popular from behindSurely she must be walking with her too…?
“Princess?”
I turned around carefully and looked back at Marika, who didn’t move…
“Princess…?”
There was no one behind me.
I’m sure Marika should have been behind me as I set out on the road first…
As if there had never been from the beginning, only a wide open space welcomed me.
Break-up!
“?!”
Then, a short electric current that is transmitted like a spark from the head
Something begins to seep into my head with a slight pain.
“What is this memory..?”
As if knowing the future, the future developments and events are naturally drawn in the mind.
He seemed to know what happened to the current state of the princess, who had now disappeared.
“What the hell…”
An event that has never happened before
I vaguely realize what I have to do now and what I need to do in the future.
“No, it’s not important right now…”
At present, there is something more important than this phenomenon.
The figure of Marika that disappeared in just 1 or 2 seconds
I don’t really know the process, but I knew what she was going through right now.
“I have to go get it quickly…!”
The first heir to the self-proclaimed royal palace, Princess Marika

Now she is kidnapped by someone.
