Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The first prince smiled brightly – causing an eruption of cheers from the female part of the audience – and snapped his fingers instead of saying an incantation out loud.

*BZZZZ*

At his signal, a single orb of light the size of his fist appeared right above his shoulder.

"Hey, there little one. I have a job for you. Do you see that armor over there?"

"...?"

He asked the orb of light, causing more than a few raised brows amongst the students and the examiners.

*BZZZZZZ*

The orb above his shoulders bounced in the air happily letting out the same buzzing sound, but a little more cheerful.

"Good. Now. Destroy it, light fairy."

Horeo smirked and winked at the orb – that instantly zoomed over to the long-ranged target, and as soon as it reached it...

*BOOOOOOOOM*

"!!!!!!!!"

….exploded, enlarging itself tens of times and engulfing not only the armor itself but even creating a crater in the place where the dummy was propped up.

*BZZZZZ*

The next second, before the audience could truly comprehend what happened, the light orb returned to the prince's side and began bouncing around his head, buzzing cheerfully.

"Good job, little one. Now, go back until I call for you later."

The gold-haired boy winked at the orb and snapped his finger – making it fade into thin air just as suddenly as it appeared.

"...that... that was INCREDIBLE!"

"What kind of spell was that?!"

"Hey, can you do that too?"

"Wha...? Me?! No – impossible – How do I even begin constructing a spell like that?"

The crowd cheered and some of the students wielding light attributes began talking amongst themselves.

Horeo smiled with satisfaction, glancing at the applauding black-haired attendant, before turning back to the last target.

|I would like to use the wrath of light but for the last target, it is way too close... not to mention way too small... The shockwave could harm other students... Overall it's not worth using it on anything smaller than an enemy city... yeah... rejected|

The first prince sighed internally - it was so bothersome to be thoughtful...

He also glanced at the cheering black-haired attendant again.

|...not to mention that Zoemi would get angry at me if he would found out that I activated that spell even though I promised him to never do that...|

The golden-haired prince nodded to himself and recalled the light cannons, still waiting for his command.

"Enhance eyes."

He whispered and his already golden eyes started sparkling, enhancing their beauty by at least five times and making many female students fawn over the gold-haired boy.

Horeo steadied his arm and spread his fingers.

The spell he was going to use now and the light burst were the only ones he actually had to point at his target as light guns just shoot out wherever he looked at – but that was achieved only by sacrificing a lot of firepower to implement that mechanic into the finished spell.

The first prince used the space between his middle and ring fingers as a sight to aim at the extreme-long-range target, and when he was ready...

"Light beam!"

*##########*

He called out and at his command a pillar of light thick as a grown man's leg shoot out from the palm of his hand, causing the air quake as well as a low, unearthly hum.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

The beam of light reached the target without fail and blew it up in a flashy explosion, once again leaving nothing but specks of dust.

"AMAZING!"

"FIRST PRINCE IS THE BEST!"

The crowd cheered.

The examiners nodded their heads.

|That's enough. If I play all my cards here then I will get too much attention focused on me... I don't want to get approached by some annoying types just yet.|

The first prince glanced at the red-haired teacher but his face did not betray his true feelings.

He certainly didn't want to have an army of bootlickers bothering him at every step but also didn't want to overshadow his important person's performance.

And that's why for the other two tests he would only be using the physical augmentation enchantments.

After he was done Horeo, followed by his two attendants, walked towards his fiancé and gave her a smug look.

|How did you like that?|

His golden eyes told her.

"My dear prince, you were as great as I have hoped for."

Lady Espin curtsied and the clips curved into a soft smile as she said in an awestruck voice.

|Seriously, that was it? I definitely scored better thanks to my flight spell.|

Horeo knew Miriette well enough to decode the true meaning of her words.

But then, the third person – the black-haired attendant at the lady Espine's side kneeled down and bowed his head.

"My prince, allow me to show my respect. You were amazing!"

Zoemi exclaimed hiding his face to not disturb others with the sight of his scar getting twisted because of his wide smile.

Horeo stopped the eye contact with Miriette and looked at her attendant.

"Zoemi, I thought we had this figured out. We had a talk, remember? About you, and me, and kneeling...?"

The first prince's voice sounded tired and carried a hint of laughter.

"...ah...! Yes, my prince. I'm sorry."

Zoemi blushed and got right back up and then bashfully look into the prince's eyes.

"You were really cool, my prince."

"Pffft...! Hahaha! Thank you, Zoemi."

He said awkwardly and made the prince laugh.

"And what are we supposed to do when one of us does something cool...?"

The prince was having great fun teasing his fiance's attendant – who was his best friend.

"...!"

Zoemi fidgeted and looked around.

Everyone was looking at them!

He couldn't just refuse the prince in front of everyone, could he?

"..."

So he slowly raised his hand up.

Horeo nodded his head benevolently, walked up to the black-haired youth with an ugly burn-scar on his face - and they high-fived.

Then the prince offered his arm to his fiance and the dark-haired girl leaned against his arm.

"You were trying to make Zoemi miss my examination, didn't you, my love?"

The prince whispered lovingly into lady Espine's ear.

|You cunning wench, I knew you will try to pull off something like that.|

..was what he meant...

"I don't know why are you talking about, my dearest prince."

She responded with the most dazzling smile.

|...yeah, I did. What are going to do about it, little princy...?|

...was what she responded...

"Zoemi Auequas, I challenge you to a duel!"

Shouted red-haired Grazio Mera Victureo who walked upon the trio from behind....!
