Classes started the next day.

 I've prepared well, and it's easy because it's the content I learned once in my previous life. Quite frankly, it's boring, but I can't help it.

 While thinking about the composition of magic in my head, I ignore the class appropriately.

 The third hour was a magic test.

 The content of the test is to fire a fireball, which is the most elementary attack magic, at a prepared target.

 It's a simple technique that can be used by almost any aristocrat of this age, whether it's a knight or a magician, but its power and accuracy vary greatly depending on the user. Even with the same elementary magic, there is a world-wide difference between a child who has just learned it and a first-class magician.

 The measurement of whether the amount of magical power meets the entrance criteria is taken at the age of 14 years old, one year before the entrance, but the amount of magical power of growing children increases accordingly.

 That's why, once again, actually look at the magic from the teacher's point of view and check each person's magic power and magic proficiency.

 Among the classes, the knight course students were called in order to take the test, and then the magician course students were tested. From what I can see, it seems that they are doing it in order from the one with the least magical power based on the magical power data at the time of measurement.

 Naturally, the magician course students are better at using their techniques, but since they've just entered the school, the difference isn't that big. Some people were nervous and misfired, but they were allowed to redo up to two times, so they cleared it properly.

 His Highness and Spinel also succeeded in the technique without any problems. Her... Floraia is also amazing in terms of power and accuracy.

"Next, Linaria Jarrosis"

 When the magic teacher called my name and stepped forward, I met His Highness's eyes for a moment. The small nod means "do your best".

 Apparently they were expecting me, so I decided to get a little excited.

 It's been a long time since I've used such beginner-level attack magic because I usually spend most of my time training to improve the speed and control of my magic composition. I'm not very good at fire magic, but it's only compared to water magic. If you want to do it, you can put out a certain amount of power.

 I reached out my hand toward the target for magic training about 15 meters away, and in an instant formed a fireball.

 When I put all my magic into the composition, I felt a tremendous response for some reason.

 A fireball the size of a handful is born at the tip of the hand.

 …that? Is it big?

 Even though I was confused, I was already ready to fire, so I just fired it, and it was DOGOOOOON! ! The target exploded with a flashy roar. Hot air blows here.

 Smoke billowing up.

 …The target, which should have been protected by magic, was charred black and about half blown away.

 Shhh... the area quiets down.

 When I timidly looked around, all my classmates were staring blankly at the charred target and my face.

“…Beginner magic?”

"Hey, it's elementary magic! Even the teacher must have seen the composition!"

 I hurriedly objected to the teacher's dumbfounded murmuring. It's just a genuine fireball elementary magic. It was just a little more powerful than I expected.

"Y-yeah. It's true that it was beginner level magic... No, but the research report says you have a high aptitude for water magic? Is it a mistake for fire magic?"

"No, it's not wrong. Our family has been good at water magic for generations."

"..."

 It's true. It's not a lie We are a family of water magicians.

“…After class, you should stay here.”

"yes…"


 After the class, I was taken to the staff room by myself and asked various questions by the teacher.

 Thanks to that, even though it was the first day of class, I couldn't attend the fourth class.

 When I finally came back around the time lunch break started, the gazes from all over the class hurt. Why is this...

"Uwahahaha! Is there anyone who will be preached as soon as they enter school!"

 While eating lunch in the cafeteria, I was laughed at by Spinel. Why does this guy look like he's having so much fun!

"I didn't preach! I didn't do anything wrong!"

"It's not like you failed to control it, is it?"

 Asked by His Highness, I nodded, "Of course."

“If I had failed, I would have been forced to wear a magic tool that limited magic power by now.”

"But it was very powerful..."

“Was it a lie when you said that your main focus is support and defense?

"It's true! I'm originally good at water magic, so I didn't think that fire magic would have such power."

 I don't usually use fire magic that much, and even if I do, it's training aimed at control, so I've narrowed down the power quite a bit. He didn't know that he could do such a thing if he did his best.

“I had my teacher check it out, and it seems that my mana capacity has increased considerably in the past year without my knowing it.

"Is it something that increases and grows so much without knowing it?"

"...on rare occasions..."

 It's not completely unheard of, but it's a very rare case. And I don't know why, so I feel a little sick.

 The teacher was also quite puzzled and tried to investigate further, but he didn't want to be restrained any more, so he said, "I'm studying under Senarmont, the royal court magician, so I'll talk to him." I got it. The effect of the name of the Royal Magician is outstanding.

 Of course, I will hide the fact that what I am actually being taught is only about the ancient mythical kingdom. For the time being, he also consults me about magic. For now.

"If that's the case, switch to the offensive system. It'll be fun if you can blast the demon beasts like that."

"I'm just a support type! I'm good at water magic! I'm a magician!!"

"It's boring"

"Don't be boring!"

 Flashy and powerful offensive magic is fine in its own way, and I use it when necessary, but I like to stand around quietly and quietly as an unsung hero.

"I want to be plain, but I've become conspicuous again...why..."

“Linaria, cheer up.”

 His Highness comforted me when I was depressed. After all, His Highness is kind.

 But Spinel throws a merciless word at me.

"Isn't it impossible for you to be sober?"

"You are really cruel!"

 Spinel will tighten someday. Absolutely.
