: A girl who is a genius but not a genius (3)
Lunch hour.
Anne came out and sat in the school garden with a gloomy look on her face.
It was a shock.
I thought it would have gotten a little better, but the amount of mana didn't change at all for a year.
At the age of 10, he was still growing up, and it was the logic of the world to rise even a little. Even Heon went up 20P.
I don't mean to ignore her, but unlike Heon, the fact that he didn't even reach 20P made him feel even more embarrassed.
'Am I really not on the path of a wizard?'
Anne recalled her previous consultation with Siegfried.
-Ann. What does Anne want to be?
-I'm a wizard! I want to be a great wizard!
-Why do you want to be a wizard? Any reason?
-uh The family is a wizard family, and... .
-In addition?
- Our family is having a hard time right now. So I want to become a great wizard and revive it. So I want to be a great wizard!
- Even if you're not a wizard, you can revive your family.
-But the Meyer family is a wizarding family. I hate everything other than wizards.
- Anne will definitely be able to.
At that time, he had roughly guessed what Siegfried was going to say. However, using the fact that he was young as a shield, he somehow prevented him from saying those words.
Know.
that he has no talent for magic.
If you work hard for the rest of your life like this, you will be in the 4th class.
It's only 4 classes because it changed my life.
The world is full of 4th class wizards. This is because the level that the criminal could reach with all his efforts was only 4th class.
Far from revitalizing the family to that extent, he would barely maintain the status quo. Her father, the current Mayer Gaju, was also a fourth-class wizard.
"Find another way ."
Anne hugged her knees and muttered and lowered the tail of her lips.
I've never thought of a path other than magic.
It may seem strange to others that only a 10-year-old is seriously worried about my future, but in most cases, the existence of a wizard is determined to some extent from birth.
In fact, if the possibility did not appear until the early teens, there were many cases of looking for another way.
no. I'm about to give up pin too. Finn is also 14, but now he is seeing the light."
Finn went to the academy all this time because of his stubbornness. I heard that his family as well as the academy had already advised him to drop out.
But how was today?
Finn has grown tremendously, as if his entangled potential had exploded. Now, after going up to the middle school, he was going to go beyond the high school and become a full-fledged wizard.
"There is nothing I can't do. It's me... ."
Saying this doesn't build confidence.
It was time for Anne to sigh softly.
sister.
I heard a familiar voice behind me and turned around to see a boy with light blue hair and half-closed sleepy eyes.
It was Anne's younger brother, Armie Meyer, who entered the Phoenix Academy this year.
"Why are you trembling here?"
He was walking around to read the academy's topography, and found his older sister sitting alone and approached him.
"Amy hey ."
"Wow! Why is this man like this?"
As Anne suddenly hugged her while sitting, Ami, embarrassed, pushed her face away with her hand.
It wasn't even a slime, but the sticky stuff didn't come off easily.
Ami, who somehow removed Anne, gasped.
"Why are you doing this?"
He asked his sister with a very annoyed face.
that I did a mana test today, and it's not much different from last year. A year has passed with no results. what can I do? I guess Noona is really not good at magic... ."
Meyer took a deep breath and put her hand in her pocket.
"If your sister is not good at it, 90% of the academy should give up the wizard and go down."
Then, sitting next to Anne, Ami looked at her sister's face and sighed again with a really annoying face.
"Remember when your mom said that everyone has something they are good at?"
Huh.
"Noona has good hair. It's a pity that the amount of mana isn't growing, but what kind of wizards have to stick their cheeks out in front of noona?
"Why are you sticking out your cheek?"
"Because I don't have enough hair, I have to get slapped."
Anne didn't understand why she had to be slapped.
After reading her older sister's expression, Ami smirked and said,
"I just understand that. I'm too lazy to explain. So, I mean this. Even if you don't have a lot of mana, you can do anything."
"But mana is important to wizards. A great wizard can't even dream of running out of mana. Far from rebuilding our family, it might get worse."
"Why are you worried about that? Anyone who hears it would know that it would be difficult for our family to put it in their mouths."
It's true that the Meyer family's situation is much worse compared to their past fame, and they are a noble in name only, but it was not a desperate situation.
Even in a small estate, he was living well with the locals.
"Still, they say our family was great back in the day."
"That's not right. But is there no reason to revive it? You just have to live as you are."
"Comfortable bastard."
"Your sister thinks it's too difficult."
"This cute guy! The only sister I have is my brother!"
Ahh!
Anne hugged her tightly again.
The difference between 10 and 8 years old is only two years, but at a young age when he was growing up, two years was a physically incomparable difference.
Ami yelled at the whale whale to get away, but there was no way to get away from Anne.
In that way, I hugged ARMY like a doll, shook it around, and let it go as soon as I was tired of the fluff.
Ann, limp, lay lying on the lawn.
"Don't hug me in front. tiring.
"By the way, I have a friend named Finn in my class today ."
Know. That hyung who is a little older than he is in elementary school?"
Huh. I kept walking in place, but I only saw the light today. I've only seen you always have a hard time by my side... . It's great."
Ann's expression was smiling when she said that, but at the same time she looked sad.
"But I was envious and jealous. your sister is really bad Is not it?
Ami looked at Anne's side profile while lying down, and then raised her upper body.
"Why are you ugly? Mom and Dad were like that before I went to school. People are always jealous of someone. Instead, don't hate him. Don't spend your energy on hating, use it as a driving force to develop further."
"That's what he did to me."
"So it's okay. If you feel envious or jealous, you can use that as a driving force to give you more energy. Mom and Dad have never been wrong."
"You look so mature today, my brother?"
"Don't hug. If you hold it, it will blow a fireball."
Feeling a strange aura, Ami took a few steps away from Anne and took a strange pose.
I would have said that it was an attacking stance, but to Anne, it seemed like she was making fun of her in front of her sister.
Thanks to you, I was able to smile a little.
When Amido saw her expression softened a little, she smiled.
"Come to think of it, there are kids in my class who suddenly improved their skills."
Well?
"It's me, I didn't go to school last year, so I don't know, but the homeroom teacher was very happy?"
"What is your name?"
"I can't remember one, and the other Ivan. That's right, it was Ivan."
"Ivan?"
Huh. My grades have improved little by little since the end of last year, but my homeroom teacher liked that I had grown so much in the mana test this time."
Ivan was a student Anne knew well.
A child who works hard, but doesn't get that much results.
Anne was good at her studies, and Ivan was neither studying nor magic. So, I remembered that there were talks about dropping out rather than dropping out.
'By the way, Betty said that too.'
My roommate, Betty, had brought up Ivan a few days before school started.
He said that his grades improved quite a bit while drinking Apophis X.
At the time, I didn't think that my grades improved by just taking nutritional supplements. Just because Ivan worked hard, I thought that the results would come out now.
'awhile. Finn also drank Apophis X... .'
I've only seen him drink three bottles a day at the academy alone.
He recommended it to her from time to time, but never took it and drank it.
"Come to think of it, I think all the kids the homeroom teacher talked about said that they improved a lot compared to last year."
Ann felt a certain sense of incongruity as she listened to her brother.
But then he shook his head.
"What nonsense ."
It is conjecture.
It doesn't make sense to increase mana just by drinking some nutritional supplements.
The first time I saw Finn drinking was only a week ago. It was impossible to increase the amount of mana by several hundred points for a week.
It's just a coincidence.
Apophis X was a popular nutritional supplement these days. It was no wonder whoever drank it.
* * *
A week had passed, but Siegfried's words still lingered in my mind.
'Damn it. I can just shed it through one ear, but why does it keep coming to my mind?'
Jamie rubbed her eyes in annoyance.
my brother
It was a nonsensical sound.
I was thinking of going on a different path from my previous life, but having a disciple was an exception.
This time, he was never going to leave only his disciples. To become an enemy of a mighty being raised by one's own power was just that terrible.
And killing yourself.
"Let's focus on the next class."
Jamie ruffled her hair back and headed for Betaban. Today was the day of the beta class, which is called the elementary school average.
"Master Jamie."
At that moment, Javelin's voice was heard from behind.
"I think you are going to class."
Yeah. Because today is the day of the beta class."
Aha. Is it worth taking a class?"
A week has passed since I started teaching.
Now it was time to get used to the academy life.
"Not bad. There are a lot of talented students among the students."
haha. I'm really happy with that. I was worried about what would happen if I didn't fit into the castle."
"Is there anything you don't like about the castle? You're only doing it for a month, isn't it?
"It is, too."
"By the way, did you call me to talk about this?"
"Yeah, what. First of all, because I am a buyer. Hahaha.
Javelin was a man with a lot of laughter.
Most of the facial expressions he usually see were smiling, and he often laughed out loud when speaking. On the one hand, it was difficult to know what they were thinking because their real expressions were erased.
Like Elder Oppen Ginger.
"Anyway, what if I didn't adjust well, so I called to talk for a while."
"It was. But the teacher doesn't have class today?
Yeah. I don't have any class today. Oh, wait a minute."
Javelin looked at her watch. A strange light flashed, and when he tapped it with his finger, mana flowed into his body.
"I will go first for a phone call. work hard. Yes, three elders."
Javelin apologized and spoke to the 3 elders and walked away.
The three elders came out of nowhere and wanted something.
'It doesn't suit you.'
Serpent gerol and javelin cutter.
The two had completely different personalities, so I didn't know there was such a connection.
But, there's something to know about how other people get along with who they are.
Jamie shrugged and started walking again, when a student walked in from the other side.
The wide-open eyes were lined with white blood vessels, and the mouth was constantly arguing with what he was saying.
I was curious to hear what he was saying.
'A drinking formula?'
It looked like he was memorizing.
But why are you trembling over formulas with such a scary expression on your face?
'It's probably the only way he's trying.'
There are many ways people can focus, so it is right to respect them.
But Jamie started walking again, stopped, and looked back.
The student who memorized the formula with a frightened face could not see if he had already gone somewhere else.
"Is it because of your mood?"
There was a strange feeling in the student, but I didn't know exactly why.
Maybe it's the mood.
With that in mind, Jamie headed back to Beta.
