Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

When Tigre-sensei asked us if there was anyone who couldn’t do magic, an unexpected person raised his hand.

“Hmm? You can’t, Makina?”

“Y, yes. I mean, I’ve never used it …… My parents use it, but they wouldn’t let me use it because it was too dangerous. I didn’t think it would be necessary to become a knight.”

“I see. It is true that there are not many knights who use magic, so it is not wrong, but it is better to learn at least the elementary magic of attack. I’ll tell you about it in the lecture, but this time it’s a measurement, so you can just observe.”

“Unnuuh ……”

While Makina groans in frustration, the magic measurement begins.

The first was Urka, who was exhausted but was able to hit the target. Jack, the second, and Helena, the third, were able to make it fly but could not reach the target, and Kudelica hit the target very normally.

Yogus, who had said he was not very good at it, started a fire, but it was very small and went out after hitting the target.

“!”

So, With a dignified expression on her face, Luciel unleashed her magic without hesitation, burning her target to a crisp. 

“Oh, brilliant, Luciel! It’s not possible to teach others unless you understand it well yourself. So Luciel understood it well ……”

“Haha …… My sister is a mess, after all…….”

For some reason, Tigre-sensei has a distant look in his eyes, while Luciel, who seems to know what he’s talking about, smiles in confusion. I see, and my intuition tells me that I should stay away from Luciela. 

Then, Nora walks up to me and asks me in a whisper.

“(Since Luciel-chan is doing so well, can I do the same?)”

“(Hmm, as long as you don’t go all out, it’s fine, I guess? I’ll shoot a little weaker, though.)”

Okay, she said, standing in front of the new target with light feet. Then Nora sticks out her finger and uses her magic.

“!”

“Y, You, that is ……”

Before I can stop her, the magic is released and the target bursts into flames and disappears.

“Ehehehe, I did it well! …… Huh?”

“…….”

Nora was in a good mood as she looked back, but everyone except Makina who was watching was stunned.

…… It’s no wonder, magic is basically done with the palm of your hand outstretched. However, Nora can release it from her fingertips as well.

It may not seem like much of a difference, but when you’re actually “fighting something”, if you’re using your palms, you’ll only be able to use two places on each hand, but if you’re using your fingers, you’ll be able to use up to ten places. 

Nora couldn’t pull it out of all ten, but she did it for fun, and I thought it was honestly amazing.

It seems that anyone can do it, but not those who have a strong preconceived notion of “firing with the palm of your hand”. It’s not easy to do if you don’t know how to make the magic power small and thin.

“A-Amazing, Nora! Nice work, I’ll give a flower mark”

“Yay!”

“Wow, wow, wow!”

When Kudelica was happily hugging Nora, Ryuuze opened his mouth impatiently.

“H-Hmph, you’re just a pauper’s(brother) girlfriend, don’t get cocky, okay ……? Now it’s my turn!”

“Good luck!”

“Y-Yeah ……”

(T/N: I changed the word “poor man” to “pauper” so that it may not seem direct unless you know the word.)

Nora, in a good mood after being praised, looks away, and Ryuuze stands in front of the target, concentrating his magic power in his palm. And then he glanced at me and shouted.

“Haaaa! Look at me! This is what I’m capable of! !”

“Whoaaaa!”

Tigre-sensei also clenched his fist at the spirit. If you’re a [magic swordsman], you can probably–

*Exhausted*…… *Whoosh*…… 

“W-Well! Haaaa …… haaaa …… a pauper can’t do it, right!”

“……”

Yeah, it’s hard to do that even if I gave everything I’ve got …… I mean, not only is she inferior to Nora, she’s even inferior to Luciel, and if anything, she’s even lower than Ulka! What the hell were you looking at? I want to scream, but, patience ……!

“Ryuuze, you need to study before you get excited. Aren’t you practicing at home?”

“I don’t do it because my father said I’d be able to do it someday because I have a rare skill! Maybe one day I’ll be stronger than teacher! Well, I don’t have to do anything to get money, I don’t even have to try.”

“Hmmm …… I guess Brao-san’s influence is not good …… Okay, Lars is the last one! I’m going to take a break when I’m done here, so make it quick!”

“Yes.”

“Now then, I wonder how well the pauper will do!”

I replied to Tigre-sensei, who was the last one to call out to me, and stood on the target. To be honest, I was upset because I thought I could do a little better.

If it’s [Appraisal] or the [Superhuman Strength] I can understand, but it’s [Magic Swordsman] you know? It’s not a skill that should only be used with magic. That is not ……

“…… ”

The fire goes out and flies in a straight line to the target.

“WahahahahaI knew it will be small, you pauper!”

“Oh …… it’s smaller than mine ……!”

“…… whoaaa……”

Right after that, there was a crack! And with that, a hole appeared in the target, and it disappeared in a swoosh. I overheard Jack and Yogus shouting in relief, and then Ryuuze came over to me.

“Well, that’s what I call talent! Just being able to shoot magic is amazing, isn’t it. Well, just keep up the good work!”

After saying that, Ryuuze left me and went to the girls. Well, at least you can feel superior while you’re at it. 

“Sensei, I’m done!”

When I told Tigre-sensei that I was done, he stood there with his eyes wide open, chuckling in his chest.

“Sensei, shall we take a break?”

“Sensei, your eyes are scaring me. ……”

Nora tugged on the teacher’s sleeve and then he clapped his hands hurriedly to gather us together.

“O-Okay, we’re going to take a ten-minute break now! After that, we’ll go back to class and–“

And the physical fitness test was over. Now, the academy’s studies are about to begin, so we’ll have to keep our heads up. I listened to the conversation and got my energy up.

Soon the break was over and we were heading back to class.

“Well, let’s go back.”

“Yes! Maybe next time we’ll study.”

“Maybe …… Hm?”

“F- …… …… *sniff* ……”

I thought it was a little bit cute that Makina was hiding and using magic.

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“…… Lars Irving. He’s as interesting as I thought. I don’t know why he’s hiding his powers, but the he used in his magic test is pretty special. The magic from Nora’s fingers was amazing, but Lars is even more so. The kids were distracted by the size of the fire, but it’s not every day that a fire can penetrate a target without burning.”

Tigre, the hot-headed teacher, muttered to himself as he changed his clothes. His face was full of smiles, and he had the power to make anyone who saw him fall over. A year ago, Tigre had seen Nora’s exchange with me in swordplay and was excited to see that magic was no ordinary thing. In addition to that, Nora, who was with me at the time, was unchecked to enter the academy, so he thinks he was double lucky.

“Dedite and Luciela are interesting, but Lars is even more so. There seems to be something going on with Ryuuze, so I guess I should pay attention to that. No, should I do something about Ryuuze? …… this needs …… a home visit, I guess.”

For now, class is over for once! Next time is work!

Shut up!?
