Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent - Chapter 243



243 – This is enough.

Wow!

Thunderous cheers and applause pour in. Of course, they were all directed at wizards. The drivers looked very awkward and stayed in their seats.

The first to speak was Libra, the memory cutter.

“Let’s go.”

Libra spoke as she adjusted her hat, but everyone was at a loss and did not take action easily. However, Libra’s attitude is very firm.

“It’s right to leave. “Because we are no longer the main characters.”

“Yes.”

Although answers have emerged, they are still at an unrealistic level. Libra finally took a deep breath and spoke.

“You might find this sight awkward.”

“….”

“But I knew, having looked into the memories of many people. The knights certainly had moments like this, moments where they proved their worth and stood tall as the main characters of the continent….”

“Yes.”

“So.”

Libra spoke her words with her eyes wet with sentimentality.

“In order for that moment to come again, from now on I will have to swing my sword until I die. “You only lived in a very comfortable and shining era.”

“….”

“What I’m saying is that even the reputation built by our predecessors was mistaken for the reputation we built. “It shouldn’t be like that.”

The knights who had been standing there with gloomy expressions began to nod their heads one by one. There was nothing wrong with what Libra said.

“Let’s go back and pick up the sword. “That’s what we’re going to do.”

“I will do that.”

“Thank you. “Libra.”

“Yes.”

When everyone answered without exception, Libra finally nodded her head. Her words had quite an effect, and even the knights who had hesitated now all moved.

But for some reason, Libra’s heart is actually heavier.

Those who were impressed by Libra’s remarks just now were all escort knights. They listen to her well because their distribution is lower than Li Bra’s and her skills are also lower….

“Hmm.”

Libra’s gaze turned towards her treatment center.

Metropolitan knights including Viola. I don’t know what they will think about this incident. No, actually, I think I know. They won’t change.

It’s not something that Libra can change. But.

“Flan.”

I thought maybe he could change her. At least as far as Libra knows, Plan has never once shown that it is ‘impossible’.

So, it would be up to him to change it this time too.

hehehe, Libra burst out laughing and then turned her body and started walking. For some reason, she felt relieved and didn’t know why.

◈

“Hey, Plan!”

“Flan!”

“Ph, f, flan!”

Immediately after leaving the stadium after receiving thunderous cheers, the following reactions poured in:

No matter where I looked, there were only wide eyes, and no matter where I listened, all I could hear was the sound of my name being called.

Trixie quietly came next to me and said.

“That’s amazing.”

“Yes.”

“… It’s really amazing. “Is that the end of your reaction?”

“I know.”

“That was a very extreme compliment.”

Trixie crossed her arms on her own with an expression that seemed a bit awkward. She continued speaking.

“You were planning on doing this from the beginning, right?”

I didn’t even bother to answer.

“As expected, it’s amazing. “It’s about drawing this fantasy-like goal from the beginning and making it a reality.”

“You will soon become like that too.”

“I hope so. The more I’m with you…. I feel like I’m starting to feel that magic isn’t just about mana. “There is a lot of magic in the world.”

I quietly organized my thoughts.

‘We’re almost there now.’

Standing in the position of a hero will not be my greatest achievement. But it is certainly true that the status of wizards is increasing.

In other words, I got everything I wanted from this game.

At that time, Lewis joined in with a secret smile.

“Ahahahaha, what are you two doing? “Have you been confessing?”

“What, what are you saying?”

Trixie quickly cuts off Lewis’s words and then fans her face with her hand. Her face had suddenly turned bright red.

Lewis tilts his head.

“… “What, was it real?”

Trixie couldn’t come up with a proper answer, so I had no choice but to open my mouth.

“No. “What is the business?”

“I just wanted to congratulate you and express my admiration, so I came here. “Flan, you always seem to go beyond common sense so easily.”

“It’s nothing special. Above all….”

I continued speaking while looking at each of the representatives of the magic department who came running to my doorstep.

“You all worked hard too.”

“… ?”

“The reason I was not involved in your order of entry was because I believed you could do it, and in fact you did. That’s why it was hard.”

“….”

The representatives froze. As if he had been hit by a huge blow, his feet were planted firmly on the ground and his eyes were blinking.

“… !”

And one beat later, I am greatly surprised.

The representatives busily exchange glances among themselves. And then he started whispering with a more serious face than ever.

“Is Flan praising us now?”

“I think so?”

“Does this make sense?”

I sighed as I looked at their reactions.

For now, I am satisfied with this.

The knights suffered a painful defeat today, so they will no longer ignore the wizards. Also, the content of the game will be quickly spread through the mouths of the audience.

That achievement alone was enough.

It was then.

“Knight!”

“Not yet!”

The surroundings suddenly became noisy and everyone’s eyes turned towards that direction. When I turned my head, the sight of a female knight supported by a guard knight came into view.

From Noble mtl dot com

It was Scarlett, the knight of misfortune.

“….”

An awkward air current flowed in the space for a while. The wizards instinctively flinched, and the knights seemed worried about Scarlett, who was still walking.

The representatives also covered their bodies with mana and blocked my path like a breakwater, but I removed them.

“It’s okay.”

As everyone looked at me and quietly retreated to the surrounding area, Scarlett walked up to me. Perhaps due to a major injury, his gait was still a bit strange.

◈

Scarlett’s appearance was definitely very different from before. One arm of her coat was fluttering, and one of her eyes was bandaged.

It was Flan who broke the silence first.

“Why don’t you lie down and rest for a while? “You don’t look well.”

Scarlett smiled slightly when she heard that.

“I heard you won, you should at least show your face.”

“It’s not really a big deal.”

“It’s not that big of a deal…” .”

The young smile on Scarlett’s lips widened slightly.

Doing great things as if they were ordinary, not great things. That might be the most Judith-like thing, even Scarlett thought now.

Yes, the head of the household should be someone worthy of it.

So.

Scarlett moved her lips, which were not moving very well.

“Little brother.”

“… ?”

Flann looked at Scarlett for a moment as if she had heard something unexpected.

Scarlett met Flann’s eyes and continued to press her lips as if she wanted to say something. She had a lot to say, but she needed great courage and it wasn’t easy to look her in the eye.

Still, she had something to say.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

It ended with just those words.

As she bids farewell to and celebrates her once fiancé, she repents of the life she had tormented and accepts him as the head of the family…. Although she felt countless complex emotions, Scarlett could only say one thing:

“….”

She must have not expected Scarlett to say such a thing, and there was silence around her for a moment. Scarlett turned around first.

“I’m leaving now. She can’t hold on to the winner’s ankle for long, and I’m not in very good shape….”

“Scarlett.”

However, it was none other than Flan who caught Scarlett as she turned around. Scarlett, who had been silently leaving her seat at the sound of Flan’s low voice, stops once.

Scarlett slowly turns her head and looks behind her. Although her blood is not mixed, red eyes that resemble hers more than anyone else’s meet hers in the air.

“You worked hard too.”

“….”

“This is all I can say.”

Scarlett lifted her head, bursting into laughter. The weather couldn’t be better. She stared blankly at her flowing clouds for a while, and then she opened her mouth again.

“That’s all I can hear.”

With those words, Scarlett turned her body.

The difference was that she was no longer supported by her escort knights. She suddenly seemed healthier and her steps were lighter.

‘If this is…. That’s enough.’

At the corner of Scarlett’s mouth as she leaves lonelyly.

I smiled brighter than ever.
