Kenshi o Mezashite Nyūgaku Shitanoni Mahō Tekisei 9999 Nandesukedo! ? Chapter 7 (2/2)

Charlotte said that and pointed at Laura quickly.

「E-Enemy?!」

「That’s right. The training ground’s one attack. What was that. Even though it was almost the same magic as mine, it had a lot more power. Were you hinting that to me? I do not care if you take this as jealousy, but……honestly, it was very unpleasant! 」

Unpleasant. Charlotte’s expression, when she said that, was really showing anger.

「I-I’m……only……」

It’s just that, Charlotte’s magic was really cool.

I only copied it for that reason. I didn’t mean to make her angry.

But if I think about it in Charlotte’s position, it might really feel that I was making fun of her.

What Laura did, was something like “I can do the same thing that you can, but I’m a lot better”. It was the same as saying that.

「I’m sorry……I didn’t, know about magic. The best one that I saw today was Charlotte-san, so I tried to copy……I didn’t know it would be that strong……I didn’t think of Charlotte-san’s feelings, I’m……」

I didn’t know how to apologize.

My words right now, they might be only sound as boasting.

I wonder why did it become like this.

Enter the Warrior Department, train with cla.s.smates, make friends, remaining and teaching the sword after cla.s.s, go out and play to the townーーI had imagined that kind of school life.

With this, I can’t even make one friend.

Even though I started to like magic……

「Ha, eh, w-wait, why are you crying……?!」

「Because, I did, something bad, for Charlotte-san……」

「No, Laura-san did nothing, I was just involuntarily doing it……Ahh, mou, if it goes like this, then I am the one who looks like the villain!」

Charlotte took out a handkerchief, and wiped Laura’s tears.

「I was wrong with right now. I will apologize. I’m sorry. So please, can you stop crying」

「You are, going to forgive me?」

「I’ll repeat it, it’s not about forgiving you, I was one wrong. Being jealous of a younger girl than myself seriously, thinking of that makes me embarra.s.sed with myself. If I just I lost, I only just needed to do my best and win……」

Do my best, and win someday.

It was a very sound and obvious argument.

Surely, wherever that world may be, that is the most basic way of thinking.

But, the number of Laura’s apt.i.tude in magic is all 9999.

Is it something that can be reached with only best efforts?

Isn’t it something that you give in?

「Laura-san. My apt.i.tude in attack magic is 120. Apt.i.tudes in other kinds of magic is around 100. It means, a hundredth of yours」

It means, that reaching it is impossibleーー

「It means that, I just need to do my best a hundred times than Laura-san. I will not lose. The one who is going to be the school’s strongest magician, is this Charlotte Gazard!!」

Laura was startled and raised her head.

Charlotte is looking straight to me.

「Laura-san. For better or worse, you are very special. I’m sure, that you are going to be told a lot of things. You will be talked behind your back. There will also people who will get jealous just like I did. There will also be those who will say bad things in your face. But please, do your best always. Please do not be reserved to others and hold back. I will definitely reach after you. I will win against you. Know that having a discretion, will only look as an insult to others!!」

Ahh, even in the world of magic, there is also a straightforward person like her.

Her eyes were like Father’s when he was holding the sword.

Laura, why does she think that Charlotte was cool, understood completely.

She is a sprinting light.

She’s s.h.i.+nes through, just by charging forward.

And she is right now, looking at her.

How should I answer her?

Thank you?  Please take care of me?

No. What’s with that, senseless lines.

What did I learn from Father and Mother.

Although there’s a difference between a warrior and a magician, the words that are used aren’t different.

Right. It was a simple answer.

「I will, not lose to you!」

From this instance, Laura and Charlotte became friends.
