CH 8

“Next, we will measure the power of the magic.”

The teacher brings a scarecrow-like object.

“The next step is to measure the power of your magic,” the teacher says. “It is enchanted so that it will never break. Do not be afraid of breaking it.”

‘I didn’t have such a thing in my previous life.’

“Gaius, can you give a quick demonstration for the class?”

“Don’t worry, Sensei! I, the genius, will show everyone what magic is about.”

Gaius stood in front of the scarecrow with his chest puffed out. He looked very confident and was surely very good.

「I hope!」

‘Why is he suddenly screaming?’

「Gather yourself in my hands, O flame! The fire of destruction that destroys demons!」

He moves in mysterious ways and utters strange words.

‘Why is my brother doing such weird things?’

“Ahh ♡♡ , Gaius’ spell chanting is so cool~.♡♡”

‘What is this useless and incomprehensible chant for?’

「Obey my command and burn it down! And burn!」

‘Well, chants are essential for large-scale magic.’

I wonder if it’s extremely large-scale magic like [Purgatory Fireball, Nova Strike].

「Fireball!」

‘It was for… beginner-level magic?’

A ball of fire, about the size of the tip of a pinky finger, comes out of Gaius’ hand.

It flies very slowly, like a firefly, wobbling and faltering.

After some time, the [Fireball] hits the scarecrow.

pohi

That was simply terrible.

‘I wonder how disappointed the teacher will be at you…’

“That was amazing! The power and range are perfect! It is magic worthy of the one called a genius!”

But the teacher highly praised Gaius.

“You’re kidding me…”

I couldn’t help but let my true feelings spill out.

Gaius came up to me with a grim look on his face.

“Did you say something, ni-san?”

“No, I was just wondering if that was the level of your magic level.”

“Hah!? What is this scum who can’t use magic to make fun of me?”

I was just puzzled by the gap between my common sense and his. I did not intend to make fun of my brother.

“If you’re going that far, show me your magic, ni-san.”

“Sure.”

“How is trash without any magical powers do that… What!?”

I stand in front of the scarecrow.

「Fireball!」

A fireball about three meters long appears from my right hand.

The [Fireball] blasts off at a tremendous speed and collides with the scarecrow.

DOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

The [Fireball] destroyed not only the scarecrow but also the wall behind it.

“What amazing magic… but wasn’t that the lost and extremely powerful magic [Purgatory Fireball]?”

“Eh, it’s just a normal [Fireball], but…”

“”Haaaaaaaaah!?” ”

Both the teacher and Gaius look astonished.

“[Fireball] with that power and without even a chant…”

“Eh? I just took it easy, though?”

Gaius collapses to the ground and slumps his back.

“Wow, that’s amazing! Julius♡♡.”

Historia approaches me with a delighted look on her face.

“You’ve been hiding your abilities from me!”

She clings to my waist and says seductively, “I knew it. I knew you were a talented guy. That’s my darling♡”.

“What are you talking about? My brother is slumped on the ground over there.”

I felt bad for my brother, so I grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her away from me.

“Hey, what’s wrong… you really wanted me to love you, didn’t you?” Historia was shocked

Gaius stands up.

“How dare you humiliate me, you little failure!”

He then points at me.

“I challenge you to a duel! I’ll show everyone that I’m better than you!”
