The audience seating area became noisier, there were many remarks like because of talent, genius or something like that. The headmaster took a deep breath after listening to those remarks, and bring the students’ attention with loud voice which I hear for the first time.
{Stop saying things like talent or genius to escape from the truth. Magic has infinite possibilities, and will have infinite possibilities if you continuously put your effort into it. I hope that this is not pointless fight.} (Rodwell)
After he finished what he wanted to convey, the headmaster was laughing with satisfaction. Then, he made eye contact with Magna-sensei and stopped using [Echo].
While the later arrangement was explained by Magna-sensei, the disciples who finished the treatment and dispersed their worried happily surrounded and praised me. But Reus was the only one who had a face that can’t move on.
“You are really amazing, Aniki! But, it’s regrettable, even though you almost won.” (Reus)
“Huhu… you guys don’t have to worry. Though I said things a while ago, the truth is Sirius-kun is the one who won.” (Rodwell)
“Wait a minute!” (Sirius)
When I think what he is going to say with satisfied looking face, that Cake Master suddenly exposed it!
He didn’t used [Echo] and judging from the volume of his voice, only the disciples will hear it but what on earth is he thinking?
“It’s no use, Sirius-kun. You don’t want to be rolled up in troublesome things, so please tell the truth to them. No matter how strong the opponent is, wouldn’t they feel frustrated if their master lost?” (Rodwell)
I saw them nodded many times when listening to the headmaster’s says, and I noticed that I made them worried again. Recalling the memory of when my master was defeated, and since she was a person who didn’t get a hint even a little, maybe that’s why I probably dull about this event.
As for the headmaster’s suggestion, I should have told the disciples what really happened.
“Sorry, I should have properly told the truth to you guys.” (Sirius)
“Sirius-sama, you don’t have to apologize. That means…” (Emilia)
“Yes, what the headmaster said was right. I won.” (Sirius)
When they hear me proclaiming victory, Emilia and Reese clenched their fist before their chest with brighten eyes, and Reus was delighted, put up both hands while wagging his tail.
“Aniki is the strongest after all! Me too, someday, I will become strong like Aniki!” (Reus)
“If I’m going to say anything now… Our master (Shishou) is really great!” (Reese)
“Haa… As expected of Sirius-sama. I’m falling in love many times with your fighting figure…” (Emilia)
I don’t need to confirm because by looking at their reaction, I seem able to keep the prestige as their master.
“By the way, headmaster. Since we’re going back soon, will it be alright for us to leave?” (Sirius)
