After the two left the room, I breathed out and changed the mood.
I don’t know what kind of discussion from now on but it seems going to be a bit serious talks by looking at the headmaster’s expression. Let’s deal with it.
I sat down on the sofa after getting permission and made the first move while looking at the headmaster.
“How much is the price of destroying the training ground walls and exposing noble to danger?” (Sirius)
“Aah, though I said something like responsibility, I just want to make Reus reflects on it. It’s not a big deal. The wall will be fine when Magna fixes it and the outcome of the incident was because of the noble’s negligence during information gathering.” (Rodwell)
The wall is immediately fixed by Magna-sensei and since I’ve presented many cakes over, he ordered it without asking for compensation. And the noble is the one who doesn’t know Reus’ personality; it was bad for him to imitate others by tempting him for a fight so Reus is not blamed.
“It only affects a little the thing that I want to discuss now which the graduation assignment for you is.” (Rodwell)
“Finally. Even so, why the headmaster is telling me, and not Magna-sensei?” (Sirius)
“It is because I’m involved with your assignment. Let’s return to the topic, what do you think the cause of this incident?” (Rodwell)
“The nobles keep inviting Emilia and Reus without knowing their feeling but the most important is me who am being made fun by other students.” (Sirius)
“It seems you know that. The main problem of this incident is because your ability is not known and for having such disciples. Therefore, your graduation assignment is to overturn them.” (Rodwell)
To overturn them… is he saying to show how amazing I am to surroundings but how am I suppose to do that? Is it going to be like making an official announcement and beat Reus like always, which is probably good? But they may say he go easy on me because he is my servant.
“In other words, it will be better if you show your real strength. Besides, Sirius-kun was unofficially bringing down ‘Dragon’s Fresh Blood’ alone and you are the master who train Emilia and Reus. In my opinion, you are the strongest in school.” (Rodwell)
“Then, how am I supposed to show I’m the strongest? Should I beat strong students thoroughly?” (Sirius)
Going to other classes, as if going to dojo and challenge them for match. I thought about that but it’s somehow tremendously taxing.
“It won’t be troublesome since there is good method to show to everyone immediately. The fighting opponent will not be students.” (Rodwell)
“Is that so, will it be alright to fight teachers?” (Sirius)
Even if I lost, if I put good fight with adult opponents, they will think I am strong and my true strength will be known. But the headmaster shook his head after hearing me.
“No, it’s not teachers. The opponent will be me… in other words, your graduation assignment is to fight against me.” (Rodwell)
“…Really?” (Sirius)
“Yes. If it’s you, I think it will be a good fight.” (Rodwell)
It seems going to be serious even though he lightly said it is like taking a stroll.
However, this development was unexpected. I thought about possibility of having to fight Magna-sensei but to challenge ‘Magic Master’ in battle is by no mean…
“I have a question, is there reason for me to fight the headmaster personally? Wouldn’t be enough if other teachers acknowledge me?” (Sirius)
“I want you to become a possibility of magicians.” (Rodwell)
“Possibility? Is it because of me being colorless?” (Sirius)
“Yes, it is appropriate for this reason. And Sirius-kun, although you are chanting magic in front of everyone, the truth is you are able to do it chantlessly, right?” (Rodwell)
It’s not necessary to hide my true strength in front of the headmaster. I nodded and made [Light] without chanting. I made it similar to electrical light in a globe and moved it towards the headmaster, and it disappeared when I snapped my fingers.
“If it’s possible like this, the headmaster can do the same right?” (Sirius)
“Yes, I can. But what I would like to hear is how do you reached that level. The way you use magic is clearly different from ordinary people, it’s the only thing out of common sense. During the entry to school interview, you said that you were taught by a master that you didn’t have any memories of him but was that a lie? Though I suspect you acquired it through self study, am I wrong?” (Rodwell)
