CH 7

The second period was a practical skills class.

The students changed into comfortable clothes and moved to the training room.

It’s designed like an arena and even has a second level for spectators.

“First, we will start with the measurement of magical power.”

The practical training teacher looked around at the assembled students.

Next to the teacher was a human-sized metal plate.

“This is the Magic Power Measuring Board. By placing your hand on it, the magic power value held in your body will be displayed on its surface.”

Something similar happened in my past life.

‘But this is much smaller than it was before.’

“Then, we shall begin the measurement. Line up in a row.

The students lined up in front of the measuring board. I was slow, so I ended up in the back of the line.

“… Hey, Gaius. Look behind us. Your manaless brother wants to get tested.

“… I guess he just wants to embarrass himself. I am so unlucky to have him as my ni-san.”

Gaius and his girlfriend are in line in front of me. They were having a fun conversation as they were giggling a lot.

Then, the first student walks up to the measuring board and touches it.

In the center of the board, a number appears.

“Let’s see, the magic value is… 15?”

The average value of a 15-year-old in my previous life was about four digits.

That child must be having a hard time due to her innate lack of magic power.

“Umu, that’s an average score, alright.”

“Eh? Really?”

“The value of magic power is generally said to be the same as the value of a person’s age.”

“We are 15 years old, so that’s fine. Shouldn’t you know that, ni-san?”

My classmates also looked at me as if I was spouting nonsense.

Eh, isn’t that too low?

After that, the students continued to measure their magic power.

Indeed, they were all around 15.

Occasionally, some exceeded 20. When that happened, there was a round of applause.

“Next, Gaius von Carlisle.”

After a while, it was my brother’s turn.

“Gaius~♡ Do your best.♡♡♡”

“Watch me, Historia. I’ll prove it. I’m a genius and the right man for you.”

Gaius glanced at me and then touched the measuring board.

He looks confident. He must have a lot of magical power.

The average value of a baby before was around 100, so he surely has a higher value than that.

“… 50?”

My eyes widened at Gaius’ result.

“That’s brilliant! You are a genius!

“That’s three times the amount of magic we have!”

“That’s great, Gaius! It’s a good thing I chose you over your defective brother!”

It feels like I am being spirited away.

“Next. Julius von Carlisle.”

It’s my turn, and I take my place.

“Let’s laugh together at the manaless trash who wants to be made a laughingstock.”

“Pfft, that’s right, Historia. It’s a good time to shame my ni-san.”

I ask the teacher, “Can I use [Full Concentration]?”

What is [Full Concentration]?”

“It is a special breathing technique that takes the magical mana that fills the atmosphere and converts it into magical power within the body.”

“What are you talking about…?”

‘You don’t know?’

A human being’s mana capacity is insignificant compared to the elves and demons, who have enormous amounts of mana.

That’s why techniques to take in the magic essence in the atmosphere and turn it into magical power are a necessity.

“Ni-san, please just do it. You are embarrassing me.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll go now.”

As I touched the board, I used「Full Concentration」to take in the magic essence.

This way, you can generate unlimited magic power from the atmosphere.

VMOOOOM

CRACK

“What? The measuring board is broken!”

‘What? I didn’t put much magic power into it.”

“Is there something wrong with the machine… Gaius?”

“…… That’s impossible. That piece of junk is supposed to have zero magic power! How did this happen?

“… Wow, that’s amazing! A transcendental amount of magical power destroyed the measuring board! Who is that student?
