: A girl who is a genius but not a genius (2)

my brother

Jamie thought it was nonsense.

It's not that I didn't think about it. Raising a disciple is the same as making a side for me.

However, the deprivation, anger, and sadness that the disciples received when they lost their backs were unbearable.

Of course, it was not only the disciple who betrayed. There were also those who left for unavoidable reasons.

The child that comes to mind when I see Anne, Thea Another was such a class. was a good kid A good disciple who always took care of his master and followed what he was told.

However, the 12 gods took everything as if they would not allow Diablo Volfir to be happy.

He mobilized all kinds of frivolous measures, such as stimulating greed, digging traps, and taking hostages.

As a result, Diablo Volfir was left alone.

What happened after that was the Fourth War, and the defeated Diablo met with the Dark Spirit King Venus and created black mana in the shadow world.

Even now, I vividly remember the time to make black mana.

'Only me alone. To kill the 12 gods with my own power.'

You don't need a disciple or colleague.

I came forward with that determination.

It didn't turn out well, but I'm sure Jamie would have made the same choice even if he went back.

At that time, he was deeply hurt.

To Jamie, Siegfried told her to make Anne a disciple.

It must have been a joke, but to a certain extent I know it's a sincere offer.

"What is the disciple ."

Anne's situation is unfortunate, but after a while she will be able to decide what to do.

Let's just think about this here.

After all, it's been a month since I was a student. After that, you don't have to think about working at the academy.

Jamie thought so and walked to the dorm.

* * *

A week has passed since the start of the new school year.

The day of the practice class.

Anne glanced at Lennon, who was sitting at the far end.

A week ago, on the way back from asking Jamie a question, Lennon asked her, 'How did you do it?'

Thinking it was a pure question, Anne also showed a pure three-dimensional magic circle. Seeing this, Lennon screamed as if screaming.

After that, he didn't even pretend to know. He continued to ignore me even when he spoke to me.

"Are you looking at him again?"

The next person, Finn, sat down next to him and asked.

Anne raised her legs and nodded her head.

Don't worry about it~ I'm going to go to high school next month anyway. He's different from us in talent. If I care for nothing, I just feel deprived."

Finn's ignorant advice didn't help much, but Anne smiled and nodded knowing he was there for her.

"By the way, my condition has improved a lot these days. Even when I wake up in the morning, I feel full of energy and concentrate better than usual. I feel like I can do well in practice today."

"You will be fine."

"Now I have to go to middle school."

Finn was too old to be in elementary school.

Probably the oldest in the whole elementary school. All the older students dropped out.

In fact, Finn received a lot of such offers. That said, magic is not the only way.

"Slowly, my form is coming up. I'll show you the adults who ignored me were wrong.

Yep. I'm sure you can do it."

"You too, take it easy. You're such a smart kid, you have to be better than me.

" Anyone who sees it will know that I am a lot older than I am."

"That's right."

The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Then, the teacher in charge of the practice appeared.

"Did everyone have a good vacation?"

Yeah!

In response to the students' lively responses, the teacher in charge walked to the center of the training center with a smile.

Today's practice was mana assessment.

It was to check the mana level he had through 'Magic Arrow', which is the most basic among first-class magic.

This is a once-a-year practice-and-assessment, held at the beginning of each semester.

"Shall we check how much everyone has grown over the past year?"

All the students looked nervous.

It's not just a matter of confirming that the amount of mana is high or low. Based on this, classes may be divided in the future, and student evaluation may be different.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that one year of the Academy's life was judged by the amount of mana.

"Heon number one. Come out."

A little girl named Heon walked to the training center with a nervous expression on her face.

Standing in front of the instrument panel that measures the amount of mana and hitting the target with the easiest attack magic, Magic Arrow, is a very easy swordsmanship.

However, he seemed to feel a lot of pressure psychologically because of the situation.

'Heon has already been standing still for 2 years .'

Heon was 10 years old with Anne, and was a classmate who entered the same year.

Thought she had talent and was assigned to the Alpha Class from the beginning, she was still in the Alpha Class two years later.

It was a very disappointing situation considering that students who usually take Alpha class due to their first class placement will be promoted to middle school within one year.

So today's results are important.

"Are you ready?"

Yeah.

Heon nodded with a nervous face and aimed at the target with only the index finger of his right hand extended.

Supporting his right hand with his left hand, he slowly raised his mana.

The teacher glanced at Heon's condition with a cold eye and began to write something down on the evaluation paper.

That sound placed a greater burden on Heon.

'You'll be fine.'

I was proud that I worked harder than anyone during the vacation.

This time, I will graduate from elementary school and move on to middle school. Just like the motives who started in Alpha class together.

Heon clenched his teeth and focused his mana on the tip of his index finger.

The blue light flashed once, and the arrow of mana that was shot out crossed the air in an instant and hit the target.

Tung-!

The target shook violently, and the instrument panel began to make a beeping sound.

Several numbers quickly rotated on top of it, displaying her mana level.

[328MP]

MP means mana points, that is, the amount of mana contained in the magic arrow.

"It's 328 . Compared to last year, 20P has risen. It's been up, but I think I'll have to work a little harder.

At the teacher's words, Heon returned to his seat with a frustrated face.

20P was not a small number, but for her, who was in the midst of growing up, the fact that 20P was the result of one year was almost nothing.

"Next, Flore."

One by one, the students returned to their seats.

Some achieved tremendous growth in one year, some were like Heon, and some were worse than Heon.

In such a mixed situation, the teacher called one of the students by name.

"Lennon Simon. Come out."

Yeah.

Lennon stood up. Everyone's eyes turned to Lennon.

The second son of one of the most famous magicians in the Kingdom of Seldam.

The news that he would be transferred to the high school after a month had also spread to all the students.

Some looked at Lennon with envy, some with envy and jealousy, and some with blunt eyes.

Lennon, who came up to the training room, turned to the teacher.

"Are you Elder Simon's second son? Nice to meet you."

Ah yes.

"Shall we have a cup of tea after practice?"

Lennon frowned.

wherever you go Most of the approachers, whether students or teachers, are flattery.

Lennon frowned and looked at the target. And after focusing the mana on the tip of the index finger that was aimed roughly... .

bang!!

The target exploded.

The teacher looked at the smashed target with absurd eyes.

Pyrriririk - The instrument panel vibrated loudly and displayed Lennon's mana level.

[2,199P]

Lennon's mana had already far exceeded that of a student.

"I'll go in."

As if nothing special, Lennon returned to his seat with an annoyed expression on his face, and suddenly looked at where Anne was.

She looked at the instrument panel with her mouth covered, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

But Lennon was even more annoyed by that fact.

'Stupid sissy.'

She didn't seem to know that her ability to immediately imitate what she had seen once was far superior to this.

So it was like a dog, and I was annoyed.

* * *

" It's crazy."

Finn muttered, covering her mouth and nose with both hands.

Anne felt the same way. The mana arrow, which seemed to have been shot roughly, destroyed the target.

Even that was not enough, the figure of more than 2,000 points came out.

Of all the academy students in the magical world, including the Phoenix Academy, there will be no students who can achieve this level.

grade is different I only had that thought.

'Then why do I .'

I didn't understand this any more.

Lennon had a talent she could not reach.

Ann couldn't afford to put Lennon on the same level despite her life at the academy. Rather, she was in a position to show Lennon's reaction.

My mind was disturbed.

pin. Come out."

Then, the teacher called Finn.

When Anne saw Finn, Finn grinned and raised a thumb.

"Don't go. this brother is looking good I feel good today."

Huh. Come on."

Finn walked to the lab with light steps.

Earlier, Lennon showed ridiculous figures, but in the first place, he knew that he was a different person, so it wasn't a burden.

No, actually, the psychological pressure that had tormented me every day for a few days has disappeared.

okay. From the day I started taking Apophis X.

'It's a good drug. So today will be good.'

Finn smiled, aimed at the target, and fired a mana arrow with all his might.

Phage, blue sparks flew in the air.

bang!!

The target didn't get smashed like Lennon did, but it was loud enough.

The students who were talking about Lennon looked at Finn at the same time. For a moment, there was silence, and only the instrument panel was measuring the score alone.

[860P]

"Wow aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

And Finn shouted at the results that appeared.

It was a far smaller number compared to Lennon, but the students could barely accept it in that sense.

Because he knew the previous Finn's performance.

The teacher also looked at the instrument panel with an unbelievable face and opened his mouth.

" pin. You put in a lot of effort. Compared to last year, 700P has risen."

That was an incredible number.

Anne looked at Finn with a more shocked face than when she saw Lennon's score.

Finn returned to his seat and said to Anne with a broad smile.

"Did you see it? I did it too. So you can do it too."

Finn's eyes looked as if they were spinning for some reason.

It's like being addicted to something... .

"Anne!"

"Hey, Anne! Why are you suddenly bruised?"

Ann, awakened by the calls around her, jumped up from her seat.

Yes Yes!

"It's your turn, so come down."

Anne rushed to the training center in a hurry.

'It must be an illusion.'

Finn worked hard. For a better today than yesterday, for a better tomorrow than today.

It's an incredible amount of growth, but considering it's the result of hard work, it's not impossible.

'I worked hard too.'

"Start."

Ann was seated and fired a magic arrow with a signal from her teacher.

And the numbers came out.

[247P]

It wasn't much different from last year.
