I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

“It’s a confident magic… … . What, would this be enough?”

“Can you cast it soon?”

A professor urging with a smile.

I glanced at him, and immediately recited a cast word at the target.

“Element Magic – Inferno.”

High-temperature flames radiated from the small magic circle created in my palm.

Fuhuaaa!

Intense flames that engulfed the target in human form in an instant.

Everyone was shocked by the sight and backed away.

“Oops! It’s hot!”

It is a 4th circle fire magic that even melts steel.

In fact, the target, which was said to withstand even the magic of the 3rd circle with the magic formula engraved on it, melted in an instant and lost its shape.

“Then, I will cast the second spell.”

The practical test was in the form of casting three magics and getting an average score.

“Oh, no… … .”

Before the professor, who was pumping his ass, could say anything, I immediately swung my right hand in an oblique line.

Chunwaak!

“Element Magic – Lightning Blade!”

Following my touch, a crescent-shaped electric shock was fired forward.

Tuquaaang!

A giant lightning blade 5m long.

Soon, the inner wall of the exam hall exploded, and then I took out my left hand from my pocket and cast the next magic while extending both hands.

“Element Magic – Water Strike!”

woo woo woo woo… … Pew-!

A gigantic water column rising from the ground called ‘Kwaang!’ It struck.

Power so strong that the training ground is slightly shaken. The target and the inner walls of the test site were messed up in an instant.

Scratching my head, I put my hands in my pockets again.

Then I looked at the professor who had fallen to the floor.

“It’s over, but… … ?”

“… … .”

Seeing the professor’s silence, I tilted my head.

“Aren’t you going to tell me your score?”

“Oh, no… … .”

Seeing his blank expression, I could feel a sense of relief in my heart.

Well, the practical score is difficult to measure. Normally, points were scored according to the magic formula engraved on the target, but the target was completely destroyed.

However, this has already happened several times in the past. It means that I am not the only one who smashed the target.

Of course, I might be the first among freshmen.

In any case, if the target is destroyed… … .

“… … 100.”

could get 100 points.

I smiled and looked at the audience.

Senior Iris had her eyes wide open as if in shock. Then, His Highness Lyard closed his eyes and nodded with a devastated smile.

‘Well, even if there is no achievement, if the ability exists and the lineage corresponds to the descendant of a high-ranking family, it won’t be difficult to receive a lower title. And besides, I can make achievements at any time.’

Kill a criminal with a bounty of 100 gold coins. Or subjugation of A-S rank monsters.

Even if you do not participate in the war, you can accumulate various achievements in the country.

Rather… … .

‘Was this the first time my sister saw my magic?’

Seeing my sister’s surprised face, my pupils had no choice but to widen for a moment.

I hope you’ll be surprised like that.

The moment our eyes met, she slowly began to adjust her expression. And he gave a small smile and applauded.

Seeing her like that, I scratched my head once, then looked at the smashed target.

‘… … You don’t have to pay for that, right?’

I broke out in a cold sweat as I looked at the destroyed inner wall and the target.

* * *

When Keynes sat down on a bench outside the test site, Ryard, who was sitting in the audience, let out a small sigh while resting his chin on his chin.

“Haa, if you can cast the magic of the 4th circle 3 times in a row and show that much power… … . He belongs to one of the few executive-level wizards in the Mage Tower.”

The number of magicians active in the Labadian Empire is approximately 2.2 million. This is a figure that includes all mercenaries or those who have joined the Mage Tower.

And among them, there were only a little over 50 4th circle mages.

Considering the empire’s population of over 500 million, you will be able to realize how rare the existence of a wizard is and how high the level of the 4th Circle is.

“Even that guy is only 13 years old, so it would be safe to say that there is infinite potential for growth.”

Hearing Lyard’s muttering, Iris still opened her mouth wide with her eyes wide open.

“Two, you two… … Did you already know?”

To her question, Ryard answered by lowering his right hand resting on his chin.

“I also found out this morning. It’s because we met for the first time today.”

Then, Sophia, who was sitting to the left of Lyard, nodded as if it were natural.

“I had been watching that child for three or four years, so I already knew the rough part.”

Iris listened to Sophia’s answer and covered her face with both hands.

“… … Casting 4th circle magic at the age of 13… … . Besides, the time it took until the next cast didn’t even seem to have taken 5 seconds… … .”

Ryard laughed bitterly. Then he closed his eyes and scratched the back of his neck.

“… … Well, since my abilities have been confirmed, I should hurry up and fill out the Noble Recommendation Ticket as soon as I return to the imperial castle. No matter how much the mage tower is under the imperial family, whenever their influence grows stronger, the imperial family has no choice but to take precautions. In such a situation, the existence of Kaynes would be a great help to us.”

Ryard smiled and turned his gaze to Keynes.

Kayneth sits on a bench and watches the students taking exams with a calm expression.

Seeing him like that, Ryard crossed his legs and added his words.

“If you learn the practical experience properly, later on the battlefield… … .”

“Are you going to send that child to the battlefield?”

Ryard was taken aback by Sophia’s frozen eyes for an instant.

A sharp life that cuts through the skin.

I never thought I would send myself, the prince, to live like this.

Felt, who was waiting behind, immediately put his right hand on the sword at his waist.

but… … no one will know

The presence of Elim, who prepared to erase this testing ground from Sofia’s shoulders.

She glared at Felt fiercely.

‘Even if I blow up this test site, that kid will be able to survive alone.’

Elaim put a little trust in Kayneth’s abilities.

On the other hand, Felt swallowed his saliva as his whole body felt cold.

‘what… … ?’

Sudden chills. And somewhere in my heart, a feeling of anxiety arose.

Ryard slightly rolled his eyes and checked Felt’s face.

‘Whoa… … . Sophia is also hiding something.’

He let out a small sigh at the sight of Felt, whose complexion had hardened as if he was nervous.

Ryard was momentarily taken aback by Sophia’s reaction, but then answered Sophia’s question with arms raised as if surrendering.

“If you want to become my vassal, you should at least have the ability to escort me. No, shouldn’t we at least help Kenneth learn practical experience so that he can protect himself?”

Lyad responds in a soft tone.

But Sophia did not let go of her grim face.

“I wonder why it is directly related to the battlefield.”

“Isn’t it a bit like sending a 4th circle wizard to subdue criminals in the slums? Rather, if he went to the battlefield and made a feat, Kaynes would soon be able to earn the title of count. If you have the talent you have now, it won’t be impossible to reach the level of the 5th circle.”

Episode 31

31. Central Academy (5)

Despite Ryard’s persuasion, Sophia did not loosen the wrinkles between her brows.

To send my younger brother to the battlefield!

The place closest to death is the battlefield.

Sophia counted Kaynes as the person she could trust 100%.

She acknowledged Kayneth as her only family, but she had no choice but to rebel against Lyard’s story of sending such a family to death.

“Hey, don’t make that angry face. Because it really hurts my heart.”

“… … .”

Lyard puts his right hand near his heart. But Sophia didn’t respond and continued to stare at him.

OK… … .

“Ha, yes. I will surrender.”

Ryard raised both hands and let out a deep sigh.

“Well, let’s decide for Keynes to choose himself when it comes to participation. And I’m not even talking about sending them to the battlefield right now. It’s only possible after graduating from the academy, so there’s no need to make a rash decision right now.”

It was really rare for academy students to go to the battlefield.

Besides, unless they voluntarily go out, there is almost no situation where a student will go to the battlefield.

Sophia turned her head away with a puzzled expression at Lyard’s story.

“Ahahahahaha… … . But Sophia really likes him.”

“… … It’s a family, so it’s natural.”

Everything was explained in that one word.

Meanwhile, Ryard realized that the word ‘family’ she was talking about contained many meanings.

‘Wouldn’t Serine and Delt be included in the word ‘family’?’

However, the current situation was quite shocking to Lyard. No way, I never thought that he would reveal himself to die for the sake of his younger brother.

‘This… … Are you a little jealous?’

From noble mtl dot com

Ryard glared slightly at Kayneth.

Then, Kaynes, who had been scratching his ear, looked around.

‘… … He was a bright-eared guy.’

Ryard laughed a little at Keynes’ actions.

Meanwhile, Iris, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Sophia and Lyard, had to swallow her saliva.

Then he slowly turned his head to look at Kayneth.

‘If it’s Kenneth… … I might really be able to reach the 5th circle and become a former king-level wizard.’

Lyard, now the 3rd prince, supported his brother, Crown Prince Regalus.

Thanks to that, I was able to overwhelm the power of my half-brother, the 2nd Prince, who is supported by the aristocratic faction.

But Ryard was always prepared for the worst.

Even if it was a relationship between siblings, you couldn’t be sure that there wouldn’t be a discord with Regalus.

Because of this, Ryard has formed his own network and power at the academy.

‘… … Keynes will be the last bastion.’

An existence that could compensate for the helpless part rolled into its own feet.

Ryard trembled with joy.

‘If we don’t capture Kayneth now, he will be taken away by Brother Rival later. I’ll have to ask my father to pass the nobility recommendation quickly.’

The second prince, who will be in the 5th grade this year, Ribal E Labadian.

He possessed a spirited yet dissolute character. But it wasn’t stupid. Rather, it showed outstanding ability in many fields.

He never missed the top spot until the 4th grade, and based on his excellent swordsmanship skills, he also made a great performance on the battlefield.

‘If Regalus-nii is a moderate, then Ribal-nii should be considered a hardliner.’

yes, it always has been

Unlike Regalus, who reacted as mildly as possible whenever he made a decision, Ribal tried to rule someone with violence.

Ribal strongly insists that even in the ongoing war with the Northern Allied Forces, a large-scale force should be used to destroy them all.

Even as colonial remarks began to appear, the Crown Prince, Regalus, had no choice but to object to Ribal’s opinion.

‘Is Regalus older brother graduating next year?’

I let out a small sigh as I recalled the face of my older brother, who entered sixth grade this year.

‘Ribal-nim is a man with strong ambitions. If I decide to be with Regalus-nim, then I should be fully prepared.’

The time when I made such an unspoken resolve.

The entrance exams slowly began to come to an end.

Sophia and Iris stood up and waited for Ryard to move.

And after a while, when Ryard was about to make his way to the exit, the two followed him. Kenneth, watching that scene, slipped out of the practical exam room with both hands in his pockets.

Bubbly.

The moment he left the practical test center, three people welcomed him.

and… … .

“I would have really regretted losing you.”

Ryard spoke playfully with a small smile.

However, that playful remark must have been his sincerity.

“then… … .”

“Don’t write a letter of recommendation right away. The family name… … Have you decided anything else?”

“… … ‘Arden’ please.”
