[An interview in the future]
"....Well now, let's start with the interview. Regus-Sensei, can you tell me what your first meeting with him was like?"
"Yes. I'll never forget that day during the Academy of Magic's entrance exams. The exams were about to end, and that boy appeared out of nowhere.
"He seemed like someone normal and ordinary. I also felt that he was a bit trustworthy."
"....That's surprising. How was it that you recognized his abnormality?"
"You can't after seeing him. I was the one who examined his aptitude for magic, and all of a sudden, he used a spell that I thought was impossible for someone his age, if you can believe it!"
"....Are you telling me he used advanced magic? It's hard to believe that a child would have used something like that. Only a few people in the country are able to accomplish such a feat!!!"
"Exactly. Even I, a master at magic, can only use intermediate magic. Well, almost intermediate magic... It's a little embarrassing, hahahaha"
"....That's a very interesting story. He's a student with legendary power. So what was the next thing that kid did when he left the exam?"
"---------"
"....Regus-sensei?
"....I don't know."
"...Why?"
"..........Because I was so surprised by his magic that I had fainted."
"Um, Examiner-san, are you okay!?"
Lucius rushes over to the examiner Regus, whose eyes have rolled back and is exhaling and letting out a 'kyuuu' sound.
He was completely stunned by the impact of Lucius' magic. And not only examiner Regus, but many students who were nearby were also astonished.
Lucius was worried about the strange situation, so he approached another examiner who was nearby.
"Um, excuse me, the examiner-san in charge if my evaluation has fainted. Does this mean I'm disqualified...?"
"Huh! No no, not at all... Go take the other test, I'll take care of him. Hey, get a nurse, this guy's unresponsive!"
Upon hearing those words, Lucius' face lit up and he bowed his head.
"Thank you very much. Please tell him I'm sorry when he wakes up."
The examiner mutters to himself as he watches Lucius head towards the next exam room.
"Compared to this kid... All the freshmen here are really weak..."
After that, Lucius continued to do surprisingly well on the exams one after another.
He threw a punch that smashed a device used to measure physical strength. Next, he blew up another device with which you can measure the amount of magic you possess by pouring a little bit into it.
The written test was the part that Lucius had the most trouble in. He did not have extensive knowledge of the past, but he was able to answer without problems because he had learned a little from the stories that Testarossa told him.
The test was about magical knowledge, and Lucius' results made the exam room shake. The examiners had never seen or heard of a theory like the one Lucius mentioned, so much so that the examiners had to verify whether his theory was correct.
However, it was impossible to prove whether Lucius' words were correct in such a short time, so the examination had to stop.
Behind the scenes, one of the examiners in charge of this test was pleading for Lucius to be admitted to the Academy, as he was demonstrating skills and knowledge never seen before.
As Lucius waited, the rumor that an amazing boy with great skills was excelling in all the admission tests had spread around. Both the teachers and students were already echoing his presence.
"Hmmm, I feel like everyone is looking at me..."
The stares on Lucious make the boy's skin crawl.
"Hey, go talk to him...."
"No, you go...."
No one wanted to talk to the mysterious boy who had appeared out of nowhere, but one of the students taking the test went over to talk to him.
"Hi. Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Huh?"
The person who approached Lucius was a handsome young man with dazzling blonde hair.
His eyes were blue, and his face was sweet. He was someone very attractive and picturesque, Lucius thought.
"H-Hello, my name is Lucius. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"My name is Yuri, nice to meet you too."
Yuri returns the greeting and shakes Lucius' hand.
Lucius, who is not used to this kind of thing, gets a little embarrassed.
"Fufu, you don't have to be so formal. After all, we are students taking the same exam."
"Oh yes!!! Well... Yuri, why are you talking to me?"
"Well, the reason I'm talking to you is simple: You're attracting a lot of attention. Your results are out of the ordinary."
"Ah..."
I think I went too far. I regret what I've done.
For Lucius, this exam was something of a game. Although he tried his best to avoid drawing too much attention to himself, or engaging in any behavior that would expose all his power, he inevitably got distracted and made everyone focus on him.
"I thought this year's top student would be that girl, since she's also been getting excellent results... But I never thought that someone like you would also appear."
"That girl...? Is there someone else who's doing well in the exam?"
"Hm? You still don't know, Lucius? The whole country is talking about it."
"Hehe, well, the truth is that I've just arrived in this country."
When Lucius said that, Yuri started to think and muttered to himself.
"So he just arrived in this country, I see. So he must not know anything about what's going on, though I find no reason why he should lie either. He doesn't seem like a bad guy..."
"Yuri? What's wrong?"
"Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts. So you want to know who she is?"
"Yes, tell me."
Yuri responds to Lucius' words.
"The person who is among the best students taking the entrance exam... Is none other than the descendant of the legendary hero Oger!"
