Observation
Two and a half hours after starting.
At a cliff several hundred meters away from Asch and company’s location.
“……”
Krist stares at the sight of him obliterating the average student group with a trap that utilises a magic circle, and furthermore, the sight of him flirting with Liana, the school’s number one beautiful young girl, with his all-seeing eyes.
“How was it. Did you see Asch?”
Buzz, his group member, asks.
“……”
Crack……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
“Wha-, what’s wrong!?”
“No……it’s nothing”
“Is-, is that so……”
‘No, the way it breaks ain’t ‘it’s nothing’, right’, is the thought of Reader, who’s similarly his group member.
Krist has the weird habit of always holding a pen in his hand, but since he’s also the school’s number one prodigy, nobody took a jab at it. However, for him to bring a pen even to this extracurricular lesson is kinda.
And then, ‘the cracking sounds in the class was this huh’, it was the moment one of the seven wonders of their everyday life was accidentally solved.
Buzz and Reader, in their heart, lowered their evaluation of Krist by a level.
“However……he has put up a trap. Likely, not just one, but at that entire region”
In contrast to his emotions, the top Magician of the school year calmly analyses the battle. When it comes to Asch’s capability as a Magician, he already doesn’t have any doubt. His magic power which was once measured in the magic power measurement, is on the『common』level in the special class. He’d looked down on him as not a big deal, but the accuracy and speed of the Seal he saw just now was in a different league.
However.
At the same time, it’s not to the extent that he can’t win either, he thinks and snickers in satisfaction in his heart. According to the rumours, he’d heard that that Hazen＝Heim personally made him his disciple, but at the very least, he can’t at all imagine that he’ll reach the class of a great person like him. ‘He doesn’t transcend the realm of a prodigy at the end of the day’, Krist passed his judgement.
“……Liana will be troublesome”
Krist gauged that she, who inherits her noble father’s blood, and who can use the magic of every element, including Light and Dark, is the strongest enemy in this battle. Her magic power measurement’s result wasn’t any big deal either, but she has a broader repertoire in combat than Asch, who possesses the obvious weakness of being unable to use Light magic. And then, if the two of them team up, putting him himself aside, they might also lose depending on Buzz and Reader.
“What should we do, Krist?”
He clicks his tongue in his heart at the way Buzz speaks. ‘Whose fault do you think it is, that I have to rack my brain so much on a strategy’. ‘It’s all because you guys are incompetent, isn’t it’. However, there isn’t even the slightest bit of benefit even if he says such things aloud. Taking a deep breath, Krist smiled brightly.
“We’ll use Jill”
The diligent beautiful young girl who’s next to the two of them. If they just entrap her, who’s Asch’s vanguard and bait, they can make Liana surrender.
“Jill……I see. However……won’t we get hated?”
“Kuh……hahahahahahahahahahaa”
At Reader’s words, Krist starts laughing unconsciously.
“What’s so funny?”
“Hahaha……sorry, sorry. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. I, too, have no intention of becoming a bad person. The bad person is Asch＝Dahl, him alone. Isn’t that right?”
While duping him in that manner, Krist couldn’t completely suppress his still-surging laughter. For an uncool and fat guy like Reader, to be concerned about the affection of possibly one of the top five beautiful young girls on the entire continent. Who in the world, does he think he is. ‘This is what they mean by not knowing your place huh’, he mocks him in his heart. The one who’s worthy of her, is nobody but himself. Nobody but him, the number one Magician in the entire school, pulchritudinous, shoulders the country in the future, and the successor of the greatest Magician Hazen＝Heim. For the sake of that, he’ll eliminate the hindrance(Asch＝Dahl)
“Oops……the sun will end up setting at this rate. I guess it’s about time we go and checkmate them”
Krist, smiled with a mask-like smile.
