Overpowered Archmage Doesn't Hide His Talent-Chapter 40: Alright. Let’s give it a try.

Chapter 40 – Alright. Let’s give it a try.

“…You want to be the representative?”

Violet asked with a bewildered expression. Flan calmly stared at her purple eyes and answered.

“Yes.”

As she faced his unwavering red eyes, Violet naturally sank into her thoughts.

Flan.

His skills were average for an A-grade student.

…No, actually, she didn’t know.

Violet clearly remembered the answer sheet that Flan had submitted for the pop quiz.

[ Question 1. ] Assuming that you use the materials in the example to fuse, describe the best number that you can think of.

[ Example ] Choose 2 pure elements, 1 auxiliary type, and 1 harmony type.

[ Answer ] I don’t fuse.

Combining different pure elements may seem like a normal fusion at first glance. But in reality, it’s more like a trap.

Pure elements must be used only one at a time. If you enhance one element to the ‘extreme’ level, it becomes the essence itself that no other combination can match…

Flan was the only one who submitted the answer ‘I don’t fuse’. And his explanation was flawless.

-He lasted for three minutes, didn’t he?

Sephia’s words suddenly echoed in her head. She had thought it was her own illusion at the time, but now that she recalled it, she felt differently.

‘Now that I think about it, he was always confident.’

He never lost his confidence, whether it was during the test that assigned him to A-grade, during the mock battle using scrolls, when he declared that he wouldn’t use scrolls in the exploration evaluation, and even now, at this moment…

Violet finally realized it.

Certainty, innovation, challenge.

This student had all the attitudes that a magician should pursue.

She shouldn’t take Flan’s attitude lightly. If he had a reason for his actions, she should rather encourage him. freewebnov(e)l.com

‘A magic manifestation faster than a flash.’

But it was hard to believe that he had a reason.

Ivan, who was a superstar among the first-year knights. Her unique ability was flash.

A magic manifestation at a speed that surpassed the sword that rushed like a ray of light to the target point. And he said he would subdue her with that one strike.

Violet muttered without realizing it.

“…It’s almost impossible.”

But then it happened.

“I think it’s a good idea.”

The owner of the voice was Louis.

Everyone’s heads turned to Louis. His face was also very serious.

Violet asked him.

“A good idea?”

“Yes. If we can’t show a magic that surpasses the unique ability, we’ll only emphasize the inferiority of our magic throughout the match.”

Louis continued with a calm expression.

“Even if we fail, I think it’s better to raise the standard as Flan said. I want to challenge myself more.”

After hearing Louis’s words, Violet asked herself.

Maybe she didn’t trust the students from the beginning.

She set the limit for the students by herself, saying that their level was this much, and she devised a strategy accordingly, and moved according to the strategy…

Wasn’t it because she didn’t trust the students that she went through all these thoughts? She couldn’t answer the question easily.

Finally, Violet opened her lips carefully.

“What do you think, other students?”

Tricksy and Violet’s eyes met in the air. Tricksy turned her eyes slightly and opened her mouth.

“Not bad.”

There was a moment of silence. Tricksy added one more thing.

“I mean, Flan’s opinion.”

The students just looked at Violet quietly with their mouths closed. The professor sighed and opened her lips.

As the saying goes, a magician doesn’t care about age.

If there is a magician who wants to change something, it’s right to cheer for him. It’s a thousand times right to join him.

And it’s ten thousand times right to make it happen.

So.

“Alright. Let’s give it a try.”

Violet finally got on board.

She didn’t know yet whether it would be a pirate ship or a wreck.

?

The 11th floor of the tower.

We are waiting for our turn in the lounge area inside the tower. Only three people can go up to the 12th floor where the test takes place at a time.

“Wow… The tower has such a nice facility even for the waiting room.” “Come here and see. You can see the whole academy scenery.”

The students who were looking around the inside were shining their eyes. They couldn’t help but admire, as if they had never seen such a facility before.

“They say the tower is a building that leads the times, and that’s exactly right.”

A female student muttered.

Leading the times?

If someone from the previous world saw this building, none of the hundred people would even guess that it was a tower. It was too shabby.

Rest is a medicine for those who need it, but it’s a poison if you force it. This time of waiting for my turn is too boring for me.

“Damn… It’s so hard.”

Then, Martin came down from the upper floor, scratching his head nervously. Hailey asked him.

“How was it, Martin?”

“Hey. I can’t do this.”

Martin shook his head frantically, with a face that had eaten a shock.

“Why? How hard is it that you say that?”

“I was waiting for it to start, but it was already over. I couldn’t even try anything.”

The students who heard their conversation had worry on their faces. Hailey turned her head slightly and looked at Louis.

“Louis, what do you think? It seems pretty hard…”

“I have to do it even if it’s hard. I was prepared for that.”

“As expected, Louis would say that. Oh, I’m nervous. It’s my turn now. I’ll be back!”

Hailey finished her greeting to Louis and went up to the 12th floor with two female students.

By the way, who am I going up with?

I checked the order. If my guess is right, I will go up with Tricksy and Louis.

I don’t care about the tension. I don’t even imagine that I will give the representative to someone else.

I just think about the ‘unique ability’ that didn’t exist in the previous world. How fast is the flash?

I feel more interest than fear.

But then it happened.

“You.”

He felt a jasmine scent tickle his nose. If it was jasmine, then it was most likely Trixie von Frits.

“I admire you.”

It was indeed Trixie. She was talking to him.

He was annoyed by her compliment.

How dare she praise him for anything? He wanted to ask her what she was talking about, but he also became curious about what she was thinking.

“What do you mean?”

“What you said earlier. You learned it from the teaching auction, right?”

Trixie looked at him with her blue eyes.

He remembered that. He had figured out the identity of his client, but she still didn’t know who he was.

She continued her speech as she brought up her trivia.

“I learned the same thing as you did.”

“Did you?”

“I studied really hard.”

“I see.”

“I studied twice as hard as you did.”

“What do you want me to say?”

He looked at her incredulously, but she nodded calmly.

“Just so you know.”

“I already know everything.”

“I studied harder than you at the teaching auction.”

“I also know that I don’t need to know that.”

He closed his eyes after saying that. It meant that he wanted her to leave since he had finished his business.

“You.”

But Trixie called me again. She even poked my arm with the tip of her index finger.

I sighed heavily.

Something unknown started to rise from the bottom of my chest. It was a feeling of wanting to throw away the clingy thing far away.

I barely held back and opened my mouth.

“Trixie, have you ever hung upside down in the air?”

“This.”

Trixie handed me a page of trivia, covering it with her palm.

[ ? [ ? [ ?

Because of her hand, I could only see this much.

What did she want? I showed my reaction with my eyes. I glared at Trixie as if I wanted to kill her.

But Trixie opened her mouth expressionlessly.

“It’s serious.”

“What is?”

“He’s not replying.”

“Sigh…”

I turned around and started walking. Trixie followed me closely.

“I want to get more replies.”

“Work on your charm.”

He could have searched for papers all night, or burned his magical passion to the fullest… Then he might have gotten a reply.

“Charm.”

But suddenly, Trixie nodded as if she had realized something.

“…That’s it. The charm of a woman.”

What was she saying?

I wonder how much more annoying it would be if I revealed my identity, when they are already so obsessed with me as an anonymous. I can’t easily estimate that.

But then, I heard a buzzing sound from one side of the waiting room.

Soon, someone’s scream echoed inside the waiting room.

“Elysis?” “What? Elysis?”

“Why is Elysis here?”

The name Elysis was repeated like a chorus song. My eyes naturally turned to that direction.

A woman with purple hair was entering the waiting room, attracting envious glances.

She was tall. No, she was big in every aspect. Including her chest and thighs.

Ouch.

Tricksy stabbed my arm with her fingertip again.

“You.”

I didn’t answer.

“You’re her colleague, right?”

“Who?”

Tricksy’s finger pointed at Elysis.

“The leader of the Mysterious Valley.”

I didn’t answer. It seemed that Elysis was the leader of the Mysterious Valley guild.

“What kind of childish game is the Mysterious Valley playing?”

“Why are you like this?”

Tricksy shook her head.

“Don’t play dumb. You know that the Mysterious Valley is the top guild.”

Top guild, huh? I could feel some energy from the leader.

Mana shows color when it reaches a certain level. Currently, her body was filled with vivid purple mana.

Elysis greeted Louis warmly, as if they knew each other.

“Louis? You’ve grown so much.”

“Yeah. What brings you here?”

“I came to watch, dude. You said you were preparing hard for the tournament. They asked me to join them. And also, I wanted to see if there were any good guys around.”

The leader was running around to recruit talented people, just like in this world. I was familiar with that.

Louis pointed at Elysis’s wristwatch and asked.

“Did you get a new watch?”

“Oh, this?”

Elysis chuckled.

“This is not a normal watch. It reads the magic power of the people around. I got it with difficulty to scout some talents.”

Then, suddenly, our eyes met in the air.

“…?”

Elysis narrowed her eyes and tilted her head. She looked at me and the watch alternately.

“What do I do? Louis! I’m screwed!”

Just then, Hailey and two female students came down the stairs. It was finally my turn.

I was closer to the stairs, so Louis came over to me. He smiled kindly.

“Plan, you were awesome earlier. I liked it.”

Tricksy followed him and said.

“Please tell the leader about me.”

I ignored them and went up the stairs.

I glanced back for a moment. Elysis was still staring at me.

Her face was full of questions.
