"Isn't that absurd? He conjures such magic and then goes off to fight with a wooden sword somewhere else."
"I've never heard of anything like it. This...this incident needs to be officially reported to the Magic Tower."
"That's right. This completely overturns the magic operation system that has been studied so far."
While the Magic Tower officials were expressing their amazement at Davian's bizarre actions,
8-star mage Inves Meridiem was carefully examining Davian's curtain of fire.
'The magic contained within is not significantly lacking compared to my own.'
Inves Meridiem.
One of the key figures in the Magic Tower.
A member of the prestigious Meridiem ducal family and Latia's second uncle.
'While watching Latia's childhood, I couldn't help but be amazed... But this guy is on a completely different level.'
Perhaps he won't be able to maintain it for long.
I don't know how he did it, but the influx of magic power has completely stopped.
However, the fire barrier stood firm as if it had its own will.
I heard that the magic power of the student who applied for a double major is even higher than Latia's.
A freshman superior to Latia.
I was surprised at the time.
But now I see he's a student on a completely different level.
'Can he even be called a student?'
Who on earth would teach magic to a student who can conjure such a fire barrier?
'It would have to be someone like Sirims Andrian, the head of the magic department. So that's why the head of the magic department gave up the gifted class and took on a freshman class.'
Inves's eyes sparkled.
'No matter what...'
No matter what it takes.
I have to bring that student to the Magic Tower.
It was clear that before he even graduates, numerous offers would pour in.
He could become a royal wizard.
Or perhaps he would return to his hometown to raise his family.
At his age, with that level of skill, someone from across the continent might make him a huge offer.
'We must determine his career path in advance. No matter what it takes. We must take him to the Magic Tower.'
At that moment.
The voices of the royal guard officials, who were stationed a little further away, could be heard.
"That student. His name was Davian Naone, right?"
"Yes, Captain."
"First, send someone to the Naone family. Tell them that he will be appointed to the Royal Guard upon graduation."
"Yes?"
"I'm telling you to preemptively secure him. Look at that swordsmanship. Is that the swordsmanship of an academy freshman?"
"I'm still amazed."
"Imagine. The sight of him defending the front lines with a curtain of fire while also stepping forward to slay the enemy on the battlefield."
The adjutant imagined Davian's future battlefield appearance as the captain said.
"...I will try to secure him by any means possible."
"Yes. Contact the academy as well. I will visit that student myself soon."
"The captain himself?"
The captain turned his head to look at the adjutant.
"Isn't he a person who might become the future commander of the Alcancia Guard? It would be even better if we could raise him as the commander of our 4th Guard."
"Ah...! I understand, Captain."
A royal mage who was listening to their conversation interjected.
"Jaguar Guard Commander... That doesn't seem to suit that student. Perhaps Lion Guard Commander would be more like it."
The commander of the Alcancia Kingdom's 4th Guard, the Jaguar Guard, turned his head sharply.
"What? Are you looking down on the Jaguar Guard right now?"
"No. I just think you're underestimating that student's capabilities..."
Although he was using polite language, his attitude was unwavering.
He even had a faint smile on his face.
Even though the person glaring at him was the guard captain,
He was also a representative of the royal mages.
In terms of the status of the organization they belonged to, it was by no means inferior to the guard.
"Then, how far do you think that student's capabilities go?"
"Well, of course, the future Chief Royal Mage, wouldn't you say?"
"Look at the way he fights. Anyone can see that he's a young man who will become the sword of Alcancia."
"Can't the Guard Captain see that curtain of fire burning brightly? There are probably only a few mages who can create something like that, even across the entire continent. How would he be if he grows like that for 10 or 20 years?"
"Can't you see that he's wielding a sword and fighting the enemy even while using magic? That student is the right person to lead the battlefield and protect our Alcancia."
"Of course, he will have to fight for Alcancia if a war breaks out. As a royal mage, that is."
"Ha, as a royal mage? That student is not the type to hide behind the soldiers and prepare attack magic."
There's nothing that will change or be decided by arguing with each other here.
What's more, the other party is the Guard Captain.
The royal mage decided to step back at this point.
"The choice is up to that student. Of course, we will also do our best to bring that student here."
The Guard Captain also nodded.
"We'll see where he chooses to go. In my opinion, that child's body is full of the blood of a warrior."
No, what's full in that child's body is magic power.
He held back what he wanted to say.
In the meantime.
The curtain of fire that had been crossing the stadium disappeared into the air.
Leaving only a long, completely black trace on the ground.
The Kanzar Academy students, who didn't know what to do because they couldn't cross the curtain of fire, quickly found the location of Davian's group.
Deep inside the Kanzar camp.
Davian raised his hand high.
In his hand was the last flag of the Kanzar Academy camp.
Shortly after.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Davian! Davian did it!"
"We won!"
The students gathered in the corner of the Elton Academy camp jumped up and down, hugging each other.
Some students were shedding tears.
That's how difficult the friendly match was.
As a result of desperately enduring,
Davian finally won.
Ellaim Bristin, who was ranked 3rd in the Magic Department, also hugged his friend next to him while sobbing.
"Davian! Latia! I knew you guys would do something!"
"E... Ellaim."
Colson Blake's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and he snapped out of it.
When he released the hand he was holding, he realized that the person he was hugging tightly was Colson.
It was only last week that he coldly rejected Colson's confession letter!
"Ah, uh. Sorry, Colson. It's just that... I was so happy for a moment..."
"I'm happy too, Ellaim."
This guy's expression is strange!
"No, no. That's not it. I was just so happy that we won the friendly match. You know? I hope you don't misunderstand."
"......"
Meanwhile.
Davian heard notification sounds in succession.

'......This is amazing?'
VIP seat.
President Probito trembled as he looked at the last flag in Davian's hand.
"This... can't be. Our Kanzar Academy lost."
Professor Mateo stood up and faced Probito.
"It seems that Elton Academy has won again this year. It seems that it's not time to reverse the situation yet."
Probito glared at Professor Mateo with sharp eyes.
"Are you mocking me right now?"
"Ah, and while watching the game, it seemed like the students were a bit strange. May I ask if something happened to the students in the past year?"
"......I just made the guys who wanted to become stronger, stronger."
"In my opinion, it doesn't seem like it was an ordinary class."
"Are you trying to teach me? Don't forget that I entered the Magic Tower before you were even born."
It's time to step back since the opponent is who they are.
"I'm sorry. Then I have prepared an evening banquet, so please move your seats. I have sent a message that President Probito has come in person, so unless there is something special, our president will also attend the evening banquet."
"I don't need it. We will return immediately."
"You're going back right away? You came all this way, so..."
Probito didn't even respond to Mateo's last words.
"Everyone, get up. We're going back to the academy."
The faculty of Kanzar Academy stood up at once and followed Probito.
After the faculty of Kanzar Academy all went down from the VIP seat.
"......There's something going on, right?"
Professor Stella nodded.
"It's clear. The students' condition is too strange. Look at them now. They're all just standing blankly in the stadium."
"What on earth did they do to those young students?"
Kinesis slowly stood up from his seat.
"Probito, that guy, could it be......"
Mateo quickly asked.
"Professor Kinesis? Do you know anything?"
"I'm not sure. It's an old story. It was when I was with Probito in the Magic Tower, and I found a peculiar magic book in the Magic Tower's hidden space."
"Can you tell us that story in detail?"
"It was a very old magic book from another continent, and I could tell at a glance that it was a forbidden magic book."
Stella cautiously asked.
"You don't seem to be on good terms now. Weren't you like that back then?"
"Back then? Until then, we were the best friends in the world. We had so much in common. We were both incredibly greedy for magic."
"Ah......"
A large banquet hall was set up in the open space next to the stadium used for the game.
It was a 600-seat venue that could accommodate everyone who attended the game today.
White cloths were neatly laid on the long tables.
Thousands of flowers were decorated here and there to create a refreshing atmosphere in the banquet hall.
But now that all the Kanzar Academy personnel have returned,
Not only the faculty of Elton Academy, but also external figures did not attend the banquet.
Only the first-year students of Elton Academy were occupying the seats.
Liber repeatedly asked.
"Hey, tell me now, Davian. How did you find out? About the first year of Kanzar Academy. How did you know that this would happen today? Even my family didn't know."
