Nate-Hoskins is the number one new student at Arnold Magic Academy this year.Some of the upstream aristocracy has grown considerably in strength, and there is always a circle around them.Of course, Nate ─ ─ had his own strength in origami.

The success or failure of the entrance examination to the Magic Academy is determined by the sum of the written examination and the practical examination.

Nate is the chief, but he doesn't know.I won first place in the written exam, but second place in the practical exam.So who topped the practical exam?

That's...

"Maria-chan! Magic class starting today!

"I see. Well, I'm not good at magic."

"Really?

"Yeah. You think it belongs to the three nobles?

"Yeah, people are bad at getting it.It's normal that you're not good at something.

……

Maria looks at her in silence and surprises.Her assessment of Stella is that she's always a healthy, empty-headed person.However, they also say things like waking up, so I change my perception.

"... Stella looks like Ray."

"Really!?

You look happy.

They continued the conversation as they moved to the practice hall.

"Fufufufu...!Because I love oniichan!

"Maybe you really like it?

"What's in the book?

"Ah, now I understand.It's okay. "

Apparently, I understand that Stella only likes her as a brother and sister.Even so, I didn't know what Maria should do if I found out that I liked the opposite sex.

Should I support my sister Rebecca, or should I support her friend Stella?Because I was thinking about it for a moment.

Maria stroked her chest down, knowing that she was worried.

"You two look fun, right?

"Beard... Princess Olivia..."

Ah, that's rude.Maria, even if you were a princess?

"No, I don't think you need to wear it..."

Fufu, Olivia's chest tightens.Now there are often three people in the class: Stella, Maria, and Olivia.We eat together, and we go to mobile classes together.As for Maria, I thought it would be okay to be alone, but I didn't think it would be a bad idea to spend time with my friends unexpectedly.

"Olivia. It's still cute today."

"Stella! Fufu.You're as cute as an angel after all... it's my healing ~ "

Wow!

Squeeze and hug.Stella and Olivia are especially close, and it's probably Stella who calls Olivia by herself.Of course, Olivia allowed it.

When they assembled in the practice hall, a woman came with her wand.The pace is slow, but no one can blame it.If you are a magician, you are a rare genius magician that everyone knows.

Lydia-Aynesworth.

She is still recognized as the magician of the ice sword.Behind the scenes, Ray is supposed to officially take over, but Ray is not supposed to announce it at least while at school.

"Look...."

"That's the ice sword...."

"The best genius sorcerer in the world...!

The student's tension rises irrevocably.

Lydia works as a teacher but is not in charge of the class now.After consulting with Abby, he became mainly responsible for first-year magic skills this year.

"Oh, you're all here."

Lydia enters class as soon as she checks the number.

Well, I see.Let's start with making ice columns.Now you'll know the basics. "

The challenge of making ice columns.

Lydia told the students to make it by magic by telling them the exact time and shape of the ice pillar.Students work on tasks at once, but there is no student at a level that is surprising to her.

─ ─ Don't remember what I taught Ray once.Well... Ray has been out of standard since he was younger.

And Lydia found a student who had already finished the assignment in front of her eyes.

"Er, it's definitely Hoskins, right?

"Yes, Nate Hoskins!

Nate faces Lydia with her spine stretched.Lydia was a hero to him who was lineal and valued his talents more than anyone else.Respect, no, that could be an emotion close to worship.

Nate would have been most pleased to know that Lydia was in charge of this class.

"Hmm... it's not bad."

Hit Concentrate and Ice Column.After touching lightly, check for signs of magic.

"But the code is still rough.I'm too focused on making it quick.It should be better balanced. "

"Um... you know what I'm saying?

"Hmm? Well, if magic is involved, there's nothing I can't analyze."

"Nah... what a... the best genius magician in history...!!

Nate hits Lydia with a glittering look.Lydia answers correctly.In doing so, Lydia saw something impossible just behind Nate.

"That's... hah.Stella after all..... "

Yes. Instead of ice pillars, there was ice art.Animal ice appeared in front of Stella.Among them, the ice thought to be unicorn seemed to be quite complete.

"Ah! Aunt Lydia... no.Lydia, look!

"Call me teacher at school."

"Yes, Doctor!

"Still... you raised your arm again."

"Oniichan taught me so much again."

"Hah... his sister's stupid won't heal..."

The surroundings scrambled at once.

There was some surprise at Stella's magic skills, but the best surprise would be that Stella was talking to Lydia intimately.The students were not surprised because they did not know the relationship between niece and aunt.

Nate must have been the most shocked of them all.

"Nh... what is he...?!?

I know it's Ray's sister.That's why I thought it was missing.Even though it is, it can be seen at first glance.That ice is magic created by elaborate cords.I know that being a few steps above myself is as talented as Nate.

There were rumors.

Said Stella White, Ray-White's sister, is also out of standard.Ray's reputation itself is quite high because of his track record of winning the large-scale magic battle "Magics War" in Ordinary.

Nate believed it was fraudulent, but he wobbled knowing that Stella was good at magic.

No way... I wonder if Ray-White really exists outside the standard.

"That's not true... that's what he said!!

Nate walks toward Stella as he squeezes his fist.There was definite anger in his eyes.

"Stella White"

"Um... Hoskins, right?What's the matter with you?

Asking Stella with a neat expression, he pointed his index finger at her.

"I want to fight you!!

Moments.

Sizzle spreads all at once.Nothing unusual about a duel in itself.Rather, it could be called a routine event in the new year.Because collisions are common in environments where magicians interact with each other.

"Hmm... that sounds interesting, but Stella, would you like to try it?

Lydia asks Stella for help.She shows a hesitant expression for a moment.

"What's the matter, are you scared?

Stella murmured sorry for Nate's incitement.

"No, I mean...Oniichan told me not to take it seriously.... "

"Are you serious?What do you mean by that?

And Stella said the most humiliating words to Nate.

"I'm too strong for the other person to be shocked.That's why I should refrain from a duel..... "

"─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─!

Does this mean anger without a voice?Nate squeezes his fist so hard that he bleeds, he shouts.

"Very well! If you can shock me, try it!!

"... mmm. But hey...."

Lydia whispers to Stella when she is reluctant.

"Stella, you can do it.I'll allow it. "

"Are you sure?

"Ah, but do your best.Try not to find out. "

Yeah! Well, let's do it.

Thus the legend of Stella-White, an extra-standard genius, came to light.
