Christophe's pov

 Elias-sama, you are so cool!

 I was prepared for any punishment, even death.

 You are too open-minded to forgive me for my outrageous rudeness!!!!

 Pardon me, I am Christoph Breitner.

, Deputy comander of the Dietrich Family Magical Division.

 I always try to act calmly in any situation.

 One day, Master Elias was practicing his magic in the training hall of the Magic Division.

 What kind of a turn of events is that? Master Elias is supposed to be famous for his lazy personality.

 Listening to him, it seems that he is a novice in magic.

 While the new recruits were shooting magic in a limp and sluggish manner, Elias-sama was shooting high power magic from the beginning.

 Is this talent? Is it blood? I don't think everything can be managed by effort.

 With swords, you may be able to make up for it with some effort, but not for magic.

 Only those with talents can rise to the top.

 And yet, just what is this feeling in my heart? I don't want to admit it, there is no way there can be someone with such an extraordinary talent.

 I pretended to be calmly observing Elias-sama as he unleashed his magic, but inside I was not calm.

 I thought, "Let's eliminate Elias-sama, or rather, .

 I wanted to offer a match and make it look like an accident.

 Even though he is talented, I am still better than him.

 I have a trick up my sleeve.

 I wish I didn't have to use it, but in the end, I have no choice in the matter.

 The reason why I hate Elias, and the demon tribe. ......

 A burning village.

 People fleeing.

 My family was killed.

 I desire power.

 The demon folk are right in front of me.

 I, a little boy, can't do anything about it.

 As I was preparing to die, I saw an unbelievable scene.

 Master Leon led his army to exterminate the demon army.

 Why in such a small village that is not in Dietrich territory?

, "It is the duty of the nobility to protect the people. It does not matter whether you are a citizen or not."

 Then I was taken in by Dietrich and given a place to live, food, knowledge, fighting skills, and everything I needed to survive.

 I follow Leon for the rest of my life. I would give even my life for him.

 I thought so without joking, but an unexpected event occurred.

 Leon had a mistress, and he had a child with her.

 It is not surprising that he has a mistress, and I do not blame him for that.

 It is a common practice among the nobility of this country.

 However, the woman was a demoness.

 And the woman's child was Elias.

 Half of his blood belonged to the respected Master Leon, and half of his blood belonged to the demon tribe, which I hated.

 I had mixed feelings, but I could hear whispers in my mind that I could not allow this guy to live.

 I thought the battle would be one-sided, but Elias was surprisingly tough.

 He showered me with a fair amount of fire and earth spells, but they were not decisive.

 What crossed my mind at this point was whether to use a trump card.

 The light magic I had saved for the Demon Tribe, or rather the Demon King.

 I concentrated all the magic I could muster.

 Cornelia stopped me, but I couldn't back down after coming this far.

 A direct hit.

 But unbelievably, it didn't work at all.

 The monster .......

 And I was defeated.

 Elias, no, Master Elias did not ask for any punishment for me, but rather said it was a good match.

 You're so cool!

 I vowed to follow Leon for the rest of my life, but I will also follow you, Elias.

 Cornelia pov

 My name is Cornelia Maie.

 I am the head instructor of the Dietrich Family Magic Division.

 It is my job to train promising new recruits of the Magic Division.

 However, what I really want to do is read books and study magic.

 As an introvert, I was concerned about whether I would be able to teach the new recruits well, but to my surprise, I find this job enjoyable and I am spending my days in a fulfilling way.

 Seeing the new recruits release their helter-skelter magic makes me smile and think it's cute.

 It is Master Leon's handiwork that such peaceful time is flowing.

 No one is invading the Dietrich family, and the territory is safe.

 But that doesn't mean we should cut corners in our training.

 We must have fun while at the same time working diligently.

 One day, Master Elias came to the training hall.

 He wants to practice magic.

 I wondered why the lazy Elias wanted to practice magic. He seemed to see right through me.

 Haha, maybe he has a good intuition.

 I was secretly curious as to what kind of magic Master Elias would use.

 Or rather, I wondered if I could use it.

 Every year new recruits join the corps, and at first they start out not being able to perform any magic.

 They read a grimoire and train to improve their imagery and concentration, and through repetition, they somehow manage to shoot magic.

 From there, further training will help to improve one's skills.

 However, what I don't want to say is that there is a difference in talent.

 If one wants to get to the top, talent is necessary.

 There is no such thing as a dream come true if you work hard.

 But hard work is the only way.

 We have to live.

 Life is cruel.

 Without knowing my thoughts, Elias unleashed a high-powered magic.

 I am aware of Leon's bloodline, and of the demon tribe,......, but please pretend you didn't hear that.

 Christophe is observing the situation with Elias.

 He is always calm, but I notice hostility in his eyes.

 I know about his past.

 So it was not surprising that he proposed to fight against Master Elias, but I also thought what would be the point of doing such a thing.

 The vice commander and a novice.

 The difference in ability is obvious.

 Since I am a referee, I decided to stop the match immediately if it was dangerous.

 When the match started, I had an unexpected impression.

 Master Elias was too tough.

 Even though Christophe's magic was directly hitting him, he had a calm attitude.

 There was no sign of patience.

 In a magic battle, if you are hit, it is usually the end.

 I have not seen many people with high magic defense.

 Usually, the referee's job is to declare the winner who hits the opponent with the magic first.

 This is not often the case.

 However, if Elias-sama is ready to fight, I cannot stop him.

 Christophe's tone gradually became more aggressive.

 Light magic.

 Christophe's trump card.

 I hesitated whether I should stop him or not.

 If Master Elias died here, it would be a problem of responsibility, but responsibility is not important at this time.

 It was unforgivable that such a young child should die.

 However, before I could stop him, Christophe's magic hit Master Elias.

 I can't believe it.

 Christophe's light magic had no effect on Master Elias at all.

 Master Elias's ice spell hit Kristoff, and the match was over.

 Master Elias did not blame Christophe for his rude attitude.

 He is a very open-minded person.

 And for the first time, Christophe was sobbing.

 Sophia pov

 Christophe is going to die!

 Don't go on with your story without me.

 I'm right there with you!

 My role is to protect Master Elias.

 There is no way I can accept a match between Elias, a novice in magic, and Christophe, the deputy commander of the division.

 I, Christophe, and Cornelia are classmates who belong to the same magical order.

 I was born into a poor family and thought that the only way to make it was through magic.

 For that reason, I would rise through the ranks of the Magical Order.

 My life plan fell apart easily.

 Unlike my two talented peers, I had no talent for magic.

 To be precise, I could not use attribute magic.

 Non-attribute magic.

 I could use physical enhancement magic to improve my strength and agility, but I was a brainiac who could not use offensive or recovery magic.

 My instructor at that time said to me, "Sophia, you have no talent for magic at all. I'll ask Master Leon to reassign you to a new position." The right person for the job. So I became Master Elias's guard and maid.

 At first, I thought, "This person is so annoying, no matter how wealthy he was born in a rich family, he can't lead such a slothful life." I thought.

 But gradually, I began to feel more protective of him, and a kind feeling began to grow inside me.

 I am now able to send money to my family and lead a peaceful life, but I still have regrets.

 If only I could use magic.

 There is a saying that magic is all about talent.

 I do not deny that.

 One day, Master Elias was reading a grimoire in the library.

 I was watching him and he was flipping through the grimoire, saying, "Hmmm-hmmm."

 I couldn't stop my headache if I tried to read even one single page of the grimoire.

 I endured the pain of learning non-attribute magic and learned only the basics, and the rest I learned through actual combat.

 Master Elias said that he wanted to move the place to the training hall of the Magic Division and practice magic.

 I muttered in my heart, `Master Elias, magic is not that easy,' but common sense did not apply to Master Elias."

 Beside the new recruits who were releasing heckling magic, he was releasing high power spells as a matter of course.

 I felt that Elias-sama had gone too far once again.

 Christophe proposed a match to Elias-sama.

 I was supposed to be in a position to stop him, but because of my magic complex, I tend to feel at a loss when I come to the magician's circle.

 The conversation proceeded as if I was forgotten.

 I am watching them and Cornelia is ready to stop them at any time.

 Elias won the match.

 How far will he go to amaze me?

 Does he know no limits?

 And it was impressive to see Christophe, who is always calm, sobbing.
