They weren’t all mages, but they surely had talent for magic and all of them were unique.
The captains of this house, Lizzy and Alf were both people who possessed special magical abilities as well.
If one was gifted with magic by mother nature herself, the other had developed all his magical prowess with his hard work and his eternal greed for knowledge.
Not many knew about Lizzy’s skills but, as someone who knew her closely, both Quin and Alf were aware of them.
Alfred had learned ever since he was young.
He knew about his talent ever since he was young and he studied magic ever since he was able to read.
The very first book that he had picked up by himself was related to magic, and after that day, he had filled his entire house with books related to magic.
Right now, he possessed books from all over the continent that were related to magic and he was also one of the few young people that was looked after by the grand council of elder mages.
They were keeping a close eye on him and seeing his every action when he was outside.
They were monitoring his achievements and they were looking at everything he was doing through the eyes and ears that they had all over the world.
Even within this academy, there were many eyes that watched him and reported back to the elder council and they all knew about it already.
They couldn’t do anything about it since there was no reason to deal with students that were not even related to this situation directly.
They were just doing what they were asked to by their parents or by their superiors.
So it was a pretty common thing.
It was not going to stop and he didn’t want them to stop either.
He just continued on what he was doing and improved himself just like he did when he was outside.
He was smart and he knew what he was doing so there wasn’t much he needed to be worry of... and this applied even when it came to showing off his improved skills and abilities.
-Ooooooooooong!
In his faceoff against the captain of Acqua mirror, the person that was chosen to be the captain of the house that was filled with alchemists and the people that were related to magic instead of his elder sister.
There were many things that he was confused about at first, things like who this person was or why she was the captain instead of Her or someone else... but after being with her and after seeing her do all those amazing things from up close, he knew why she was a captain instead of Carla or anyone else in this batch.
The position of the captain was not something that just anyone could receive. Even his elder sister and big brother weren’t captains.
There was a reason Zoe was a captain, there was a reason why Tia, his elder sister Elle, Prince Alpheus, or prince Eugene and captain Alpha was a captain.
There most certainly was a deep reason behind why Lizzy was the captain of his house.
All the captains had something very special about them, while the vice captains had something they were very good at.
The specialness and being good at something was very different, and the great ancient tree that had been here before any of them must know that better than any of them.
-Swish...!
-Boooooooom!
-Ooooooooooooong.
She shook her head with a smile on her face, Erased all spells that she had summoned with so ease that she made him forget how difficult it actually was to cancel spells like that, and then she walked up to him with a smile.
"You’re a much better mage than I am. If you stop holding back like you usually do, there is no way I stand a chance against you even with my artifacts and spirits.
I would even be lucky to survive for three minutes against you at your full power."
She surely was not exaggerating when she said that.
He certainly was strong beyond his own knowledge.
He did not use any artifacts nor any skills in this entire fight.
He also did not have passive support of high level spirits like she did.
The only thing he used in this entire battle was his magic that he usually uses.
"You flatter me, Captain Quin."
He could only smile helplessly at her silly comment.
{ "If you two are done, get out of there and then chat." }
"Fighting for twenty five minutes was no good thing."
"It surely was not, haha."
His teacher was angry at both of them for taking so long and not using all that they had even after wasting all that time.
They had truly wasted their time with a pretty performance that though would get them good scores, it was not something their teacher appreciated much.
He knew their reasoning for restricting themselves, and that was the only reason he was not going to suggest point deduction.
School property was important. And even though they possessed enough wealth to pay off the repairing costs upon destruction of this place, they were still not allowed to do that.
They were strong children. And sadly, they were smart enough to understand that as well.
"Let’s go, Miss Quin."
He got up and nodded at her with a smile.
This wasn’t a fight at their full strength but he was content with this fight.
He had fun, actually.
Seeing her actually thinking of fighting seriously, and facing off against her like that made his heart raise.
And this experience was more than satisfying for both of them...
Well, of course...
"Damn."
"That last spell... what was that?!"
"Did they just end it like that?! How can they do that?!"
For the spectators who had enjoyed that heart racing show for the last few minutes, this anticlimactic end was no fun at all.
