Juu Sai no Saikyou Madoushi

"Alicia. The scores from the previous strength test were as great as ever! You're trying so hard!

"Thank you."

Praised by Dr. Lotte in the staff room, Alicia bowed.

Time off now. There are teachers in the room.

Alicia was summoned by Dr. Lotte because she needed to talk to her for a moment and had just visited the staff room.

Dr. Lotte frowns.

"It's just... isn't it like you've been stretching your skills more lately?

"Excuse me... I'm training, but I haven't really gotten the power of magic..."

Alicia was annoyed.

"Alicia wanted to be assigned to the Kingdom Sorcery Division after graduation."

"Yes."

Dr. Lotte tries to pick a word and speaks.

"Honestly...... I think it might be tough as it is now. In the first place, a combat-type sorcerer who joins the sorcery division has had the magnitude of his magic jump through him since he was a little girl, right? Alicia has excellent magic control, but the original magic power is average, isn't it? So if you think about other paths, you should be able to be active..."

"Thank you very much. I'll think of other paths."

"Is that...? Uh... doesn't it have to be the sorcery division? I thought Alicia admired the sorcery division where your father was..."

Alicia laughs small.

"Of course I have admiration, but except for dreams and reality. I need to identify my powers and think about my future."

"Yes………. Yeah, that's true..."

Dr. Lotte looked in trouble.

"Um, right. Tell you what, from me, Alicia's only twelve, so why don't you just have some more kids?

"I am a child enough."

A gentle token, Alicia leaves the staff room.

When I went out into the hallway, I looked back and found Dr. Lotte shrugging his shoulders small.

Alicia Goodenbert had a good view of the world from a young age.

How the world works, the thoughts of adults, behind things, the harshness of reality.

They were visible as if they were characters drawn in the air.

That insight may be due to the height of your innate intelligence. Or maybe the habit of observing Mori Luo Wan from a little bit of a pull is creating.

Either way, Alicia knew the world, and she knew who she was.

That is, that I am ordinary.

He has excelled in his efforts, but he is not gifted. That recognition had intensified even more since I met Ferris, who had the power of God's demon.

But Alicia was not discouraged.

The world is like that. There are limits that people can't cross, and we just have to hang out with it and live with it.

That's what I knew, so I didn't get depressed.

And I also understood that I lack passion because I understand reality too much.

Neither did the dream of becoming a magician like his father on the day of his existence arise from the bottom of his heart.

"Such dreams are reasonable"

A kind of conscious thought was working.

I don't know exactly what I really want to do. I just know 'what I can do' and 'what I have to do'.

Every day Alicia was not black or gray, but never glowed and was colored in pastel colour.

"Alicia, oh! Let's go to lunch. Ugh!

"……… Ferris"

Yes, until I met my darling girl, who jumps like this kitten.

Looking at her smile somehow, Alicia felt a light leak from the back of her chest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"From Dr. Lotte, what were you talking about?

A courtyard filled with raucous sunlight.

Ferris asked Alicia, eating a sandwich on the bench.

Alicia wipes away the boiled eggs on the edge of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Hey, they told me about my path. I'm not very powerful at witchcraft, so it seems difficult to join the aspiring witchcraft division."

"Is that so……………"

Ferris stopped eating sandwiches and looked sad.

Alicia hastily adds to such a sad face covered in clouds of despair.

"But it's okay. Because if you're a magician, there's as much other way forward as there is. I can't help it."

"You can't do that!

"……… Huh?

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, shout it out all of a sudden. But I don't think so! You can't give up your dreams easily! Because, 'cause, Alicia, you look so sad!

"I can't believe it looks sad………………."

Alicia laughed.

I'm used to giving up my dreams. At a very young age, there were times when she said that she wanted to be a princess and so on, but she gave up immediately.

Ferris teases his fingers and says he's a jerk.

"Oh, um... if you like, what... The trick of witchcraft I recently discovered, would you like to use it……?

"The trick............?

"Yes! If you do that, somehow you'll have better control of magic than usual! I can adjust the power as I like, and it's amazing!

"Heh..."

Alicia has also noticed that Ferris has been training hard these days.

For once, it could be a hint of something for a powerless self.

More importantly, Ferris says this with a sparkling eye, so there's no way he won't listen.

"Well, let me ask you a favor."

"Ha!"

Ferris nodded with great joy.

Finish your sandwich till the end or jump off the bench.

Alicia took the training cane out of her bag and stood next to Ferris.

"So... what do I do?

"First of all, you look great and flinch!

"…… like this?

I mimic Ferris sticking out her breasts without it, and Alicia also tries to stick her breasts out.

"More! Uh-huh, and I'm gonna make it look great! Like a queen!

"Like a queen?

Put your hands on your hips and look down at the ground to look back just like you did.

"And you speak the Spirit to order someone. Hi, it seems like I don't have a problem making a slight mistake about the spirits, and while I think about what the spirits mean more closely than that, I think I should say it with my heart!

"With all my heart...... yeah, I get it. I'll try!

Alicia set up her cane and looked at the stone on the side of the road.

As Ferris taught me, I try to command someone to speak the spirit.

Basic attack magic is mandatory for combat sorcerers.

In Alicia's magic, it's finally magic to manage to build a fist ball of fire.

"Drops of flame, the power to burn...... Follow my will and fight the enemy - Valet Flame!

Fire erupted from the staff.

An overflowing flame strikes the stone and burns it. The stone dissolves in the heat and loses its shape.

Alicia hurriedly lowered her wand.

The magic stops and the flames go out.

"What do you say……………? Is it a little more powerful……………?

Ferris asks me worried.

"It's not a little bit... I've never been able to use such a big magic trick... I can't believe I could do this..."

Alicia shrugged.

I squeezed my wand and my hand was trembling.

"Good for you! You should be able to apply it to other magic tricks, so it's convenient!

Ferris can flaunt his face.

This innocent girl, I'm sure she hasn't noticed.

That magic today is a power that belongs to the top elite if it's a magic division. To the fact that in just a few minutes, I have revived Alicia's dream.

No, I'm not about to get into the sorcery division. Depending on what you do, you can join the SS, or you can be the head of the Magic Division.

Alicia felt the world suddenly open wide before her.

Touch the drops slipping down your cheeks with your fingers.

And I noticed.

How much pain I was in giving up my dreams. How much I regret and how much I have held back that remorse with reason.

"Haha............. I…… I was really a child………"

Ferris tilted his neck properly in front of Alicia, who groaned with laughter.

Although the girl was much more of a child than Alicia.

In an instant, Alicia's future changed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Night.

Alicia and Ferris, returning to their dormitories, entered their beds after completing their sleep support.

The weather started to collapse in the evening or so, and now it's a storm outside.

Heavy rain slammed against the window, the roof roared, and the atmosphere was a little creepy.

I can only fall asleep early on a day like this.

When Alicia laid her head on the pillow with that in mind, the lightning pierced the room.

Then, a thunderous roar. A loud voice strikes Alicia in the ear.

"That was close!

When Alicia startled and looked at Ferris' bed.

The blanket dough was formed.

When I thought about it, Ferris was getting round and solidified.

"Ferris............?

Alicia approaches the bed and peeks inside through the blanket gap.

"A, Alicia Sa 'an…………………"

Ferris filled her eyes with tears and trembled.

"……… Could it be that you don't like thunder?

"Or who doesn't like thunder, yes, I don't think so..."

Terrible tone.

The hand is squeezing Alicia's sleeping clothes tightly.

"You are a child…………."

Alicia goes crazy and laughs.

"Ugh... why are you laughing..."

Ferris protesting weakly.

"Because Ferris' magic is obviously more powerful! I can't talk about thunder right now!

"But... but..."

"Fine. Come to my bed. Let's sleep together tonight!

"Ha!"

Ferris nodded loudly or ran flat and dived into Alicia's bed.

Alicia goes back to bed and lays with Ferris in her arms.

Watching Ferris hug her every time the thunder rang, Alicia somehow felt like she figured out what she wanted to do.

Sure, this kid is strong.

But I need someone to protect me.

With that in mind, Alicia felt something gushing out of her chest like never before.
