The students whispered.

“What now?”

“You mean you want to see magic one on one?”

Normally, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Those present here were fourth-year students at the academy, who were about to graduate and spread out across the country.

The average skill is about a 2nd class wizard.

In such a situation, a 10-year-old royal family would come and tell you the real battle.

However, these were different.

Everyone looked at them with expectant eyes.

That would be true, as they were job seekers in modern times, they were paying close attention to domestic news.

There were also a few children of barons and viscounts, so I was able to access quite advanced information.

One of them was news from the western duchy of Lyant.

“I heard it carefully a while ago. My dad works in the West, and I heard that Prince Leo was doing great the other day. He even received the highest monthly meritorious medal!”

“Does that make sense? That’s what you get with pure skill.”

“So! Among the soldiers there, praise for poor Leo is already spreading.”

The students whispered and said such things.

Leo pretended not to hear and listened quietly.

Rather than introducing myself, it was better for me to know myself like that.

Thanks to that, after a while, the students were looking at Leo with respectful expressions.

It was because the magical power that Leo had spread throughout the classroom, combined with rumors, gave a glimpse of the terrifying young genius.

“What an honor… .”

“Has Professor Harold been acquainted with you?”

“I should go home and brag. That I’ve been taught magic from you too.”

“Let’s tell the other guys who don’t take this class. You must be very sick to your stomach?”

And they looked at Johann Bordain with envy.

What an honor it must be for Leo to have been nominated for the first trial match!

Of course, Leo knew very well that the meaning of that gaze would change completely in a little while.

* * *

“Hello, low. My name is Johann Borden. see you again… .”

“Okay, hello. I did the introduction before, but why are you doing it again? Do you think I’m stupid enough to forget the name I just heard?”

“That, not that… .”

“And don’t call me low here, call me teacher.”

Leo cut him off.

Yohan was taken aback by Leo’s cold attitude.

“Start right away. I’ll go lightly for now.”

Leo didn’t show any mercy and immediately cast his magic.

Since his mana was already spread throughout the classroom, if he took over the space with it, he might be able to hack this little guy to pieces, but he didn’t bother.

It only produced one blunt ice arrow.

“A very basic ice arrow. The blade is dull, so it won’t have the ability to kill, so take it.”

“Okay, low.”

John nodded with a bright face.

Ice Arrow is a second-class magic, so it can defend itself sufficiently.

Besides, it wasn’t even several, but only one summoned.

‘They said it was a demonstration sparring, but it looks like they’re trying to take it easy.’

Yohan made a shield that covered the front first.

I was thinking of blocking the attack once with this and counterattacking.

‘Of course I can’t beat the low, but… , I can see some activity.’

To the other students watching, at least the face will be able to stand.

That’s how the calculations ended in my head.

And… .

-Wow!

The ice arrow shattered the shield and lodged itself in John’s stomach.

“Kuhh… .”

He sat down on the floor with his back bent like a shrimp.

Leo clicked his tongue.

“It’s not a bad decision to make a shield, but it’s a mistake not to grasp the difference in level with the opponent.”

Leo snapped his hand, and the arrow pierced Yohan’s body, constantly changing directions.

“Shield is not invincible. If you can’t stop it, avoid it. Now, let’s look at the evasion ability. Read the trajectory of Ice Arrow and avoid it.”

“Ouch! Whoa! hahahaha!”

Back, waist, thighs, abdomen, pith, arms, legs, etc.

As soon as it saw an opening, it flew and struck.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

John screamed as he was hit by an ice arrow.

“Hey, wait a minute… .”

“You are sore. Do you think there will be such a thing as a moment in real life? If you ask them to wait in front of the monsters, they will be eaten right away.”

Leo drives John with a cold face.

A small smile crept across Leo’s lips.

* * *

Leo almost put Yohan in a half-baked state.

From the middle, John wanted to shout surrender.

As an aristocrat, it was not honorable to surrender after being beaten during sparring, but shouldn’t we live and see?

Despite the embarrassment, he tried to surrender somehow, but Leo wouldn’t allow that either.

Every time that happened, they hit me in the mouth or throat so that I couldn’t speak, or I hit the stomach.

“You are doing well. How can you defend against my attack this much?”

“You won’t die from one or two hits of magic. Concentrate your mind. Are you going to be bruised like that on the battlefield?”

As a result of continuing to strike with arrows while giving instructions word by word, John rolled his eyes and passed out.

Except for his face, his whole body was blue and bruised, and he was biting foam at his mouth.

“Hmm. The toughness is not bad.”

Leo wiped his hands.

“… … .”

“… … .”

All the students in the classroom, including Professor Harold, opened their mouths.

Isn’t this an assault under the guise of sparring!

But I couldn’t protest.

There was no one here who could say anything to Leo in terms of skill or status.

‘after. It’s refreshing.’

Leo smiled lightly.

I feel better because I took care of a guy who was annoying me from earlier.

Where are we (?) Trying to be fine even after harassing Sonia.

After the stress was relieved, my head started to cool.

‘I guess I can take it easy from now on.’

Yohan took care of it lightly, but the others didn’t have to.

Still, these friends here are all people who will become our country’s equals.

Wouldn’t it be useful if you teach me something and send it to me?

Of course, the complexion of the students who saw Leo’s smile grew even more pale.

How can you beat people up and laugh like that!

“next.”

Leo called the next person in a pleasant voice.

The male student who was supposed to be in second order approached hesitantly.

It was a look full of fear.

Leo stood in front of him and warned him.

“Prepare. I will do it lightly.”

Of course, I had no intention of hitting until I was about to run out like John.

I was only thinking of making a moderate threat.

However, the student misunderstood it.

‘Is it light?’

That’s what John said earlier.

In other words, doesn’t it mean that it is made with the same half-tone!

“Sah, save me. Lowering!”

The student fell to his knees.

Then he began to pray until both hands were on fire.

“If I did anything wrong, I apologize here. Please save me!”

“… … ?”

* * *

The misunderstanding with Leo eventually came to an end after several more sparring sessions.

The students, who had runny noses in tears, couldn’t resist Leo’s insistence and went to sparring, but there was no problem.

Rather, he gave careful advice to students.

“The order of magic deployment is strange. It slightly rotates the mana in the heart, but such an expedient can block future growth, even if the power can be a little stronger right away. Let’s try to be polite.”

“Go, thank you. Lowering.”

Because Leo can see mana, he was able to give an intuitive explanation that other professors couldn’t.

After all the sparring was over, the students looked at Leo with envy.

I received valuable customized advice one by one that even professors could not give.

Although young, they recognized Leo’s greatness, as they too were wizards, and his age was no barrier to respect.

Right before the lecture was over, John spoke in front of the students.

“Everyone is at a great level. It is worth saying that they are talented people who will become the main pillars of this country in the future.”

Now that he had personally experienced Leo’s skills, this kind of praise touched his heart even more.

There was something that touched my heart.

At that time, Leo looked at the students and frowned.

“However, personality should come first rather than skill. It’s not just knights who seek honor, shouldn’t wizards also take care of honor?”

“… … ?”

“It means that you shouldn’t act like garbage, such as ignoring the academy’s rules that both nobles and commoners are fair, and recklessly persecuting opponents.”

The students realized what Leo was talking about.

“ah… .”

“no way… .”

Yohan, who was lying down there, understood why he had been treated so badly by Leo.

They, too, were aware of John’s atrocities.

Being a son of an aristocratic family and a member of the student council, Yohan has a sense of choice.

He never touched the same nobles or rich commoners, but he only harassed the powerless and weak-voiced commoners.

To relieve one’s stress for no apparent reason.

The latest target was Sonia.

The other students were also aware of the situation, but they didn’t say anything for fear of sparking themselves.

“A wizard is not simply a technician who handles mana well. You can go higher only when you truly seek the mysteries. If you are ashamed of yourself, the path will never be seen.”

“… … .”

At Leo’s words, the students couldn’t raise their heads.

only one.

Only Sonia had a shocked expression on her face.

Leo and Sonia’s gaze met.

When she bowed her head slightly, Leo smiled.

* * *

“Sorry, low. You showed me how ugly you are.”

Professor Harold lowered his head and apologized.

He continued to look somber after the lecture.

After thinking all the way to his lab, he seemed to finally understand what had happened.

“How could that be the professor’s fault? That’s what a student’s personality is like.”

“Johann Bordin will suggest that I expel the dean.”

“no. You don’t have to.”

Leo shook his head.

He’s a bloated guy, but he’s still a second-class wizard.

He was a waste to throw away.

‘If I come and take care of it every time I’m bored, I’ll come to my senses someday.’

If you still can’t come to your senses, then it’s time to deal with it.

Or, it would be okay if Sonia directly supported him so she could get revenge on him.

After all, it was Sonia, not Leo, who was hurt by him.

“All right. Then I will keep an eye on you to make sure this never happens in the future.”

Professor Harold said as if promising.

As a professor recognized by the academy, if he said this, there would be no need to worry in the future.

If you didn’t know what Yohan did, you wouldn’t know, because I’d intensively crack down on it.

“Okay. I will trust you.”

“Anyway, it’s my job to guide the students, but you’ve left it up to me too much.”

“I was also happy to meet great students.”

“Thank you for solving what could have been a big problem. In my heart, I want to repay you for this favor somehow.”

“Then I will pay you now.”

“Yes?”

“It’s nothing special, please guide me through the academy.”

Leo shrugged.

It took too much time to beat one guy.

‘I don’t know how long Kizan will talk to the dean.’

I had to go find the jewelry again, but there were places where students and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Originally, with the authority of the royal family, I was going to ask to go in for a while, but it was a different story when I brought a professor with me.

‘Because it’s a free pass wherever I go.’

“Let’s go.”

“uh… All right.”

Professor Harold nodded with a bewildered expression.

The moment we came out of the lab together like that.

“Lowering.”

“Sonia?”

Sonia was waiting in front.
