The Prodigy Sefiria’s Overpowering Program

The castle of Beorant can be visited from anywhere in the Imperial City.

Among the several rooms in its castle, one of the most magnificent - that was the room where His Royal Highness the Grand Duchess, the number one successor to the Velicion Empire and His Highness the Vicuña Vesta Beolanto lived, made it the supreme power ruling the 'city of Marinion on the lake' next to the imperial capital.

Even when it comes to rooms, their size is out of digits, and the level at which you can bask in all the furniture and conditioning.

Usually maids with royal castles take care of themselves perfectly, so they have little sense of life. With the exception of a "certain corner", the luxurious and shiny dishes lined up neatly were still like a model room.

Of course, Vicuña's home...... Kao Castle is built in the lake city of Marinion, but she leaves the territory in this way and frequently sleeps in this room to attend my classes, which are occasional and held several times a week.

And I was in such a room, facing each other alone with Vicuña, the lord of the room.

"Go ahead, Doctor."

"Oh, thanks......"

Currently, access to this room for all persons is forbidden by Vicuña. Anyone who can ignore His Highness the Grand Duchess's orders, that's about His Majesty the Emperor... but it's a situation where practically no one can enter because his Majesty was so depressed that he was drooling like, "I couldn't get him into Vigna's room..." Really, Your Majesty, it's sweet in you...

And when I heard that, when I visited Vicuña's room at no good source, I'm sure Her Majesty would be more depressed if I found out she was able to let me in light...

And that's why the maid couldn't even enter this room, or Vicuña was pouring me tea right away.

In an official setting...... or outside of my classroom, Vicuña is the Grand Duchess better than the Duke. I, as a nobleman, am not unlimited to be close to the civilian population, and I am inherently in a position that is not even as hostile to you as you see fit to speak with her.

Even so, seeing that His Highness had begun to chore himself, I rushed to try to stop it. But you can't control her when she prepares tea with a hand that she's used to saying, "Okay, sit down."

Besides, I always leave that up to Kaylis, and you can't even prepare tea instead. Tea must have been something she wanted to drink herself, and I decided not to interfere poorly here.

That's how I was offered tea and thanked, I sat down a bit in my chair, shrinking in the oversized and restless indoors.

Large windows with elaborate decorations reveal sunsets that are still setting beyond the horizon.

This room is also located on a considerable upper floor within the castle of Beolant, so we were able to reach the horizon beyond the perimeter walls of Teito. If you live in the Reverse Scale Mansion, a two-story mansion, it's the first sight you won't see.

I uttered what I thought without any particular profound thought, having to dispel the awkward silence that was full of indoors.

"... you look beautiful"

To Vicuña, who was caught in my gaze and watched the sunset sideways, when I said so...... she let go of the mouth she was putting on the teacup and solidified for about a few seconds, as a little surprise,

"I wonder.... No, I'm sure you do."

Vicuña reacts somewhat catchy and stares jizzily at the sunset again.

As I looked at her wonderfully like that, she gently opened her well-shaped cherry blossom lips with her golden eyes facing the sunset as Her Majesty did.

"... did your uncle ask you to do it? He wants me out of this room."

"Well, Your Majesty was very puffy, too. But it was my intention to be here. As a teacher, it's too late to start taking days off, isn't it?

When I say that, Vicuña has a terribly spicy look on her face and then she leans over with a painful grin like she was forced to make.

"... that's crazy. I'm not supposed to be your student anymore. I should have given you an exit report."

"It's up to me and His Majesty to decide whether to accept it or not."

I'm the Grand Duchess.

"No, Vicuña is Vicuña. He's my pupil. In that classroom, civilians, the Grand Duchess, that's not true. That's what Vicuña looked at, isn't it?

It is not the other Vicuña herself who has asked me to treat her about herself as an ordinary student, not the Grand Duchess.

I magically took out of my nostalgia the 'exit papers' torn in two and threw them crudely on the table. A few seconds later, when the paper burns up by itself, it disappears without a trace.

"Vicuña, you're not eating. Something that hasn't made Vicuña a magician yet."

To the words, Vicuña shook her shoulders tingly and reluctantly raised her face.

Then she lays down her eyes, which were wide open, softly, and she leans again. Her dark, long dark hair hid her expression by making sure to take the book down.

As I patiently wait for Vicuña to open her mouth herself, I will never cease to gaze at her with a weak expression.

Eventually the sun set completely, and only slightly weaker indoor lighting illuminated us.

At that time, Vicuña, who was leaning down without one of her stiffness, heard her breathing in quietly. nature and my gaze concentrates on her lips.

"Mercia... I didn't think I had a choice. Because my brother, Bozler, has made a name for himself as a young genius magician, and he taught magic all the time from that bozler, and seemed to be able to handle it a little from the start."

"... yeah"

"Listeret, too, was still convinced. She was older than me and had good guidelines. Besides, the magic practice outside the classroom that the teacher forbade seemed to be routine... and most importantly, I felt so obsessed with even my own health that I felt horrible"

"... right"

So once separated the words, Vicuña muttered, "I know I'll be rude," slightly out of sight.

"But now that Logna can use magic...? I don't... I'm not convinced. Whatever she thought, she was a normal boy. Just because you're the brother of a brave teacher, you couldn't see anything special. Much younger than me, the element of superiority over magic mastery isn't called this, and I thought it was natural that you couldn't even read the letters and not even learn the magic initial even if it would have taken you a lifetime... yes, I thought..."

Her voice was shuddering as it slowly dwindled, and its appearance was so weak that the more she touched it, the more she seemed to collapse away.

Vicuña, who always has an extra giggle, knows that there are aspects of being struck unexpectedly, weak and tearful… I have been aware of these past few months of dating.

If you noticed, from her golden eyes, a pompous and large grain of tears were telling her cheeks.

"I... am not like my uncle. I can't do anything perfect like my uncle... and the guidelines are not good. Academics, swordsmanship, no matter how desperate you practice, are crowded at best.... Once upon a time, when the tutors exaggerated and praised me and I was good at it, when I found out that my academic achievement wasn't a big deal at all... it was dark in front of me and I fell asleep for about three days."

That's what I say and cry about, Vicuña, with a sad grin, like the chest over here you're looking at can be tightened.

The executive desk installed in one corner of the room was stacked high with a tremendous amount of notebooks, running and writing notes, and academic books of various types and sizes. Seeing that, it's obvious how desperate she has been to study.

Even to your brother, who was taking personal lessons by me every night, I don't really think she's inferior in her efforts. If you do poorly, even to a mad obsessed listeret, you might shoulder it in effort.

But still... your brother was quicker at mastering magic.

Of course, if you master it quickly, you are unconditional and excellent, nothing at all...... but what Vicuña wants will not be such a common consolation.

"The teacher just said that the sunset is beautiful... but I don't even know that. My uncle used to say it was beautiful watching the sunset. Even then, I didn't understand what was going on. It's just red and glowing, bright and dazzling. A phenomenon where the yang just sinks towards the end of the day. That's all I see in my eyes.... even sensibilities, below the crowd... in all areas, I'm too inferior."

……

"So leave me alone. I'm sure I can't do this. Even I, who had no handle on one thing, looked for what I could do for the Empire, for the Territory... and said I couldn't do it on my uncle and had it screwed into the teacher's classroom, but it was also futile. Even for me like this, if it were magic... what a shallow idea. Satisfied with everything else... I can't, I can't... hiccup... I can't believe it's magic..."

Vicuña, who said that and had a self-derisive grin, will finally start leaking whimpers.

Vicuña's figure of trying to push her voice to death and crying quietly was irresistibly painful.

I'm sure Vicuña, more serious and hard-working than anyone else, has somehow never been rewarded for her efforts.

But still, I guess I was looking for something I could do while continuing my hard work to fulfill my responsibilities as a Grand Duchess.

Perhaps it was the mask to not show the weakness to others that didn't break her always affordable and adept attitude.

Still working desperately hard as we tear under that mask and make bloody seeping efforts to allow the same classroom students to use their magic one after the other...

That's how she finally broke her heart the other day when she became one of the last ones who hadn't been able to use magic yet.
