They weren’t all mages, but they surely had talent for magic and all of them were unique.

The captains of this house, Lizzy and Alf were both people who possessed special magical abilities as well.

If one was gifted with magic by mother nature herself, the other had developed all his magical prowess with his hard work and his eternal greed for knowledge.

Not many knew about Lizzy’s skills but, as someone who knew her closely, both Quin and Alf were aware of them.

Alfred had learned ever since he was young.

He knew about his talent ever since he was young and he studied magic ever since he was able to read.

The very first book that he had picked up by himself was related to magic, and after that day, he had filled his entire house with books related to magic.

Right now, he possessed books from all over the continent that were related to magic and he was also one of the few young people that was looked after by the grand council of elder mages.

They were keeping a close eye on him and seeing his every action when he was outside.

They were monitoring his achievements and they were looking at everything he was doing through the eyes and ears that they had all over the world.

Even within this academy, there were many eyes that watched him and reported back to the elder council and they all knew about it already.

They couldn’t do anything about it since there was no reason to deal with students that were not even related to this situation directly.

They were just doing what they were asked to by their parents or by their superiors.

So it was a pretty common thing.

It was not going to stop and he didn’t want them to stop either.

He just continued on what he was doing and improved himself just like he did when he was outside.

He was smart and he knew what he was doing so there wasn’t much he needed to be worry of… and this applied even when it came to showing off his improved skills and abilities.

-Ooooooooooong!

In his faceoff against the captain of Acqua mirror, the person that was chosen to be the captain of the house that was filled with alchemists and the people that were related to magic instead of his elder sister.

There were many things that he was confused about at first, things like who this person was or why she was the captain instead of Her or someone else… but after being with her and after seeing her do all those amazing things from up close, he knew why she was a captain instead of Carla or anyone else in this batch.

The position of the captain was not something that just anyone could receive. Even his elder sister and big brother weren’t captains.

There was a reason Zoe was a captain, there was a reason why Tia, his elder sister Elle, Prince Alpheus, or prince Eugene and captain Alpha was a captain.

There most certainly was a deep reason behind why Lizzy was the captain of his house.

All the captains had something very special about them, while the vice captains had something they were very good at.

The specialness and being good at something was very different, and the great ancient tree that had been here before any of them must know that better than any of them.

-Swish…!

-Boooooooom!

As he looked at Quin’s water magic that was so unique that even someone like him could not completely replicate it, he had but a look of respect in his eyes.

-Oooooooooooooong!

He was one of the few young (tier-4) mages of this world, someone who was strong enough to fight some mages far more experienced than him.

Additionally, he was called a prodigy of magic not because he possessed phenomenal affinity for magic but because of his ability to cast the true magic– the magic that was not cast with the talent for magic or elements or because of the blessing of Mana but with one’s pure will.

The true magic was something complex and something that not just anyone could use. It was a power that one who understood magic on a deeper level, someone who understood what spells were, why they existed, why magic was used in the way it was used, and why elements were used to cast most of the magic instead of something even purer. Something that was just ’magic’ and nothing else.

He knew all that and could use that rare power, that was the main reason despite his age and lack of experience, he was called a prodigy of magic by those highly experienced elder mages.

There was something called ’potential’ when it came to mages and it was inherently limited to some extent.

Only a few could go beyond their inherent limitations and even fewer could achieve things like his elder brother had with all those limitations still blocking their way.

What he wanted to achieve was much more complex than what the world understood– but that was something that belonged to him.

And it was enough for him that the one he considered his goal, the one that he wanted to get better than, was also aware of his ambitions.

-Oooooooooooong!

He was a (tier-4) mage who had the ability to wield four elements simultaneously while his opponent was a (tier-3) mage who could only use one element.

And still, even after using his mind to the best of his abilities to cast the most complex and powerful spells that he possibly could, he was losing this battle…

The person he was fighting against was strong, someone as strong as his big brother.

She was also highly experienced and knew how to react to the attacks that were thrown at her as if she had already gone through life and death experiences.

Even though she could only use the water element, the way she used it was beyond anyone’s expectations…

’Using water bubbles as stepping stones to reach a higher ground, using water’s thin layers as an illusion magic base, or using hot water at such a compressed level that it exploded when any of his magic touched it– and she of course used it as a defensive magic instead of offensive one, something similar to what his Sister Elle used in her fight against Miss Luna.’

Her ways were as unconventional as the two of theirs… it wasn’t surprising that the three of them were the closest with one another.

They must have taught one another, and they must have studied together whenever they had time as well.

She was already very diligent with anything she was learning– as any person in this academy was aware of– and she was still one of the kindest people he had known.

She was smart and innocent at the same time. She had strength as everyone present here were seeing but she hardly made anyone aware of her strength.

She was one of the most approachable people in this academy, much like Zoe.

People didn’t hesitate to ask her about anything as they did with most of them.

Her cheerful nature and her oblivious personality that still did not know about most of the common things was something refreshing.

-Oooooooooooooong…!

"Woah! Woah! I can’t handle that, captain!"

She had once again surprised all of them by creating twelve balls of highly compressed water that were made with such friction in them that they would almost destroy this whole arena if they were released.

"Does that mean you accept your defeat, Vice captain Alfred?"

"Yes. of course. I never stood a chance against you in the first place."

"That’s certainly not true."

-Ooooooooooooong.

She shook her head with a smile on her face, Erased all spells that she had summoned with so ease that she made him forget how difficult it actually was to cancel spells like that, and then she walked up to him with a smile.

"You’re a much better mage than I am. If you stop holding back like you usually do, there is no way I stand a chance against you even with my artifacts and spirits.

I would even be lucky to survive for three minutes against you at your full power."

She surely was not exaggerating when she said that.

He certainly was strong beyond his own knowledge.

He did not use any artifacts nor any skills in this entire fight.

He also did not have passive support of high level spirits like she did.

The only thing he used in this entire battle was his magic that he usually uses.

"You flatter me, Captain Quin."

He could only smile helplessly at her silly comment.

{ "If you two are done, get out of there and then chat." }

"Fighting for twenty five minutes was no good thing."

"It surely was not, haha."

His teacher was angry at both of them for taking so long and not using all that they had even after wasting all that time.

They had truly wasted their time with a pretty performance that though would get them good scores, it was not something their teacher appreciated much.

He knew their reasoning for restricting themselves, and that was the only reason he was not going to suggest point deduction.

School property was important. And even though they possessed enough wealth to pay off the repairing costs upon destruction of this place, they were still not allowed to do that.

They were strong children. And sadly, they were smart enough to understand that as well.

"Let’s go, Miss Quin."

He got up and nodded at her with a smile.

This wasn’t a fight at their full strength but he was content with this fight.

He had fun, actually.

Seeing her actually thinking of fighting seriously, and facing off against her like that made his heart raise.

And this experience was more than satisfying for both of them…

Well, of course…

"Damn."

"That last spell… what was that?!"

"Did they just end it like that?! How can they do that?!"

For the spectators who had enjoyed that heart racing show for the last few minutes, this anticlimactic end was no fun at all.
