Jealousy

Katherina and the others reached the art room.

The room seemed to be the same as usual, with one crucial difference.

Originally, there was a hole in the place where “Yuma’s Cry” was … There was a cavity that people could fit in.

It’s a hole that makes you think, even if you’re not Katherina, that there’s something ahead.

Owen was the first to head for the hollow.

At that moment, what Katherina saw in her vision was a woman aiming at Owen from a blind spot.

“Windblast, windblast.”

Katherina released her magic at the woman.

The woman then moves quickly and avoids the magic.

“Ara ara, how did you find me, you little bastard Katherina?”

The woman – Farrah said, making fun of Katharina.

“It was in full view.”

Farah raised an eyebrow and glared at Katharina, hostilely.

Katharina was not surprised by this situation, as she had heard from Julian that Farah was an enemy.

She says to Owen and Shallot, fending off Farah’s sharp glare.

“You must go to Miss Natalie.”

Owen nodded strongly, “I understand,” and he and Shallot tried to get into the hole.

In response, Farah moves to prevent Owen and the others from going.

But it is Katharina who shows no mercy to those who block her students’ path.

Katharina points her index finger at Farah.

“Wind Hole.”

A powerful blow focused on a single point.

Farah avoids the stance to the side though.

The wind magic snatched Farah’s shoulder and made a clean wind hole … in the wall behind her.

Katharina’s amount of magic power is small, and that’s why she has mastered the art of lean magic.

The magic that concentrated the magic power in one point was only possible with genius magic control.

Incidentally, this technique was created by imitating Owen’s “Bullet”.

While Katherina was teaching Owen, she was also learning a lot from him at the same time.

“Chè…”

Falling behind against an opponent the size of Katharina, Farah clucked her tongue in frustration.

Immediately, Farah tried to activate her magic towards Katherina, but–

“Hole gap”

Katherina’s magic was faster.

The floor under Farah’s feet is gone, leaving a gaping hole.

Farah lost her footing and fell to the ground floor classroom.

“It’s now or never.”

Katharina says to Owen and the others.

Then Owen shouted out, “Katharina-sensei!”

Katharina turns her gaze to Owen, and he gives her a look that’s all grown up, with a hint of his old self.

“I’m off.”

Looking at Owen’s fine wizard face, Katharina was sure that he would be fine.

While Farah disappears from the art room, Owen and Shallot step into the dark path in the portrait.

“I’ve asked you to do the rest” Katharina mutters to herself as she turns to Owen and the others.

After confirming that the two are gone, Katharina takes out a green cherry color magic stone from her pocket.

It is a magic stone that contains your own magic power and allows you to temporarily increase your magic power.

By relying on the magic stone, Katherina is finally able to cross over to the geniuses.

She pushed the magic stone to the floor and

“Be the blade that cuts through the storm of dust.”

A storm of slashes rains down on the room where Fara is, directly below Katharina.

Walls were torn to shreds, chairs and desks were blown away, and the room changed its appearance in an instant.

With a barrage, Farah breaks the window and jumps out, dodging a storm of slashes.

He rolled on the ground and quickly shifted his gaze to the room where Catherina was.

“It’s a water thread!”

Farah turned the water into a thin string and fired it at the art room window.

The string of water is strong enough to support one person and wraps around and around the railing outside the window.

Shrink.

Immediately, the thread of water shrinks.

Shortly thereafter, Farah smashed the window of the art room and broke inside.

Farah is unhappy about her assignment being in the intelligence unit.

She graduated from Sanzar Academy with the second highest grades after Chris – and because she was good at twisting her enemies around with her overwhelming amount of magic power, and because of her belligerent personality, she wanted to be assigned to a combat unit.

However, he was assigned to an intelligence unit and was not allowed to join a combat unit because his water magic was not suited for combat.

Furthermore, Farah was seen as a backward compatible ice wizard — Chris Clifford.

It was an unbearable humiliation.

Water is not subordinate to ice.

In the first place, the characteristics are completely different, so it is strange to put them on the same level.

But if that was all, it was still good.

The thing I couldn’t forgive the most was that Chris, who I thought was a good opponent, hadn’t put himself in perspective.

Chris treated the completely untalented Katherina as a rival.

He felt fierce resentment at the fact that he had regarded such a bottom as a rival and ignored him.

So I played a little prank on him.

Katharina turned her hand behind the scenes so that no one could speak to her.

She graduated from the A class at Sanzar Gakuen, even though it was a bend.

There is no such thing as not getting a job from anywhere. 

Even if Katharina’s magical power level was minute, there were those who fell in love with her talent.

So, Farah uses her own network to spread rumors against Katharina.

She was close to some of the teachers and was able to get things done better than she had expected.

He knew that Katharina’s house was in need, and he enjoyed seeing the impatient look on Katharina’s face.

In addition, it was Fara who asked Katharina to tutor her so that she could go to Owen Pepper.

Katharina took on the infamous Owen tutor at the time, thinking that she was hungry for straw, and when she saw it, Fara laughed at her, saying that she had fallen a lot.

Everything was going according to plan up until that point, and then why–

“Why are you in my way?”

Owen has grown into a wizard who is considered the No. 1 young wizard, and at the same time, the fame of Katherina, who taught him, has grown.

Farah thinks that… Katherina is a parasite, a mere beneficiary of the genius.

A favorite opponent of the Freezing Demon and mentor of Owen the Flying Demon.

That fame is what Farah wanted.

Truly hateful, and the flames of jealousy rule Farah’s heart.

“I’m not in your way.”

Katharina denies it once and for all.

From Katharina’s point of view, she couldn’t understand why Farah was manifesting her passionate feelings.

For better or worse, Katharina was far from being a conspirator.

So he was completely unaware that Farah was trying to undermine him, and that Katharina was out of a job due to her own lack of power.

I don’t understand Farah’s feelings at all, but if she’s my enemy, I know what I have to do.

Defeating the regressionist Farah, that’s the mission she was tasked with.

Katharina decided that she would take on Farah because they had studied together as peers.
