Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

Howard Kennett.

The Special Selection Unit "Astral" is like a mood maker, and thanks to his cheerfulness the team is always bright. He occasionally complains to Flor, but his presence is generally indispensable to the Special Selection Unit Astral.

Such a man comes from a middle-class nobility.

The Kennets were a quiet family with no particular ambition among the nobles who were looking to become upstream nobles.

Howard is a trio, so he won't inherit the house. Therefore, there was also the joy of doing what I liked and the backlash towards my brother. But his brother says:

"Howard, you have a talent for magic. More talented than me. If it's true, I'd rather Howard succeed than me... but I'm your brother. I can't help it."

I am about nine years old. As a result, young Howard did not understand his brother's words at the time. I was just vaguely listening to my brother.

"Niisan....."

You can stroke your head. He had no idea what the word meant, but he could only understand that his gentle brother was saying something important.

But the time with such a gentle brother didn't last long.

……

Cloudy weather.

This is going to rain from the sky. Howard stood in the cemetery as the rain struck him. Put on your mourning clothes and stand there all by yourself.

The funeral is already over.

The relatives are already on their way back.

What does Howard think in front of his brother's grave mark?

Years since then. He was a sophomore at Diom Magic Academy. His talents as a magician have also blossomed, and he is now regarded as the best genius in the academy.

It is said that the end of the line will reach the seven great magicians.

In the meantime, my brother died. The cause of death was a manslaughter. He was on his way to greet other countries as the next Kennet family leader. Unfortunately, he was attacked and killed by a burglar.

He says he stabbed his heart with a knife.

I saw my brother's face in the coffin and never shed tears. When I looked at my brother's face as if he was asleep, I wondered if Howard was really dead... and at the same time I remembered being frustrated with myself for not being able to do anything.

Of course, there's nothing Howard can do about this.

Death is sudden and meaningless. It was just a coincidence. That coincidence was everything.

But man is not a creature convinced by mere coincidence. Trying to find some inevitability there. That's why people believe in the concept of God and try to find meaning in that fiction.

That's what human strength is.

"Niisan....."

Tears are finally overflowing. It conveys Howard's cheeks twice.

Look up at the sky. This day was dusty and empty as if it represented the crying.

This day, Howard swore.

Be able to protect someone. I hoped that one day my power would help someone and save their life...

From there, he went on to his career as a soldier without hesitation. Top grades at the academy. It also has a cheerful personality, and people around it say compliments. But he wasn't a satisfactory person.

Someday you can protect someone. Don't lose someone you care about.

Howard wanted the power to resist coincidence.

"You're in the new unit, are you?

"Yes, it is."

Howard was summoned to the superior's room. He graduated from the academy and started his career as a second lieutenant. Needless to say, it is said to be the best appearance in synchronization.

He was invited to go to another unit early.

"A new unit. There's Lydia-Aynesworth. Abbey-Garnett. In addition to Carol-Caroline, Major Henrik-Forenheit will take command. Interested?

……

Put your hand on your chin and think about it.

Normally speaking, this would be a good invitation. Howard knows the names of the three. A genius since the beginning of the Arnold kingdom, Lydia-Aynesworth.

And the two geniuses who follow it.

Called Sanjie, the three entered the army in a flying class and graduated from the academy in just one year. Probably the unit set up for those three.

If that's all the genius, it's easier to manage it by gathering it in one place. I also heard about Lydia and Carol's personality. He said it was quite a curve.

When asked if they are interested, Howard replies…….

He had already exhausted his talents. The ceiling was already visible. They think they're geniuses, but they won't reach the seven magicians.

"That's right. I...."

My superiors are not telling me to go there at all. I'm just offering Howard as one of the candidates.

"This is a superfluous story, but if you think about your future career, you shouldn't go. The three geniuses, especially Einsworth, are too heterogeneous. You could be crushed. I wouldn't recommend it if I wanted it to go well."

……

If that's what they say, I guess it is. I've seen a lot of magicians go crazy jealous of their talent in front of an overwhelming genius.

I'm sure Howard thinks he'll be one of them.

But the answer he gave ─ ─

"No, I'm going. Let me go."

"Are you sure?

"Yes, I don't mind."

"Okay. Let's respect your will."

There was no big reason in particular. Is that, in other words, a pure interest? Howard wanted to know. Why did a young girl choose to become a soldier?

The greatest genius of all time, Lydia-Aynesworth.

Young unattended, free-flowing. Even though her future is bright, why did she choose a harsh soldier among them? And an army of talents that is more overwhelming than yourself. I've always been at the forefront.

That's why I want to meet something bigger than myself.

That's what he was thinking...

"Einsworth, you got a minute?

"Hmm? You must be... Howard."

Ah.

"Lydia is fine with me, right?

Well, let me call you Lydia.

The night the Special Selection Unit "Astral" was established and Howard was officially decided to join. He was visiting Lydia.

"So, why don't you go to dinner?

"Me and you?

Ah.

"What is it? Do you care about me?

I smiled. Lydia certainly looks great. There will be a lot of men who want to take their daughters when they look at their character. Even though that character, which is too harsh, is impossible to meditate on.

"Ah, I was worried about you. What do you think?"

A refreshing look, Howard affirms lightly. Apparently, Lydia understood that she was simply inviting her eyes without evil.

And she allowed the invitation.

"Very well. And, of course, Howard's luxury, right?

"Leave it to me. You can eat as much as you want.

"Fufu. Don't regret that.

Howard, who still didn't know Lydia well, didn't think so at this time.

I can't believe Lydia is a bigger eater than I imagined.

……

She glanced at Lydia, who was walking next door. All that is there is is a young girl. I should still be at the Magic Academy, but I enrolled in the Jumping Class and graduated early. Plus, he graduated from the cadet school in just one year.

There is no doubt that he is a genius among geniuses.

That's why Howard wanted to know. I can't compare myself, a real genius... what are you thinking?
