Reincarnated as the Son of a Vicious Lord! ~When I Was Having Fun Learning Magic, I Had to Get Rid of My Stigma~!
CH 45
The coming winter season was upon us, and more and more students were wearing thick clothes.
Most of them wore winter uniforms at this time of the year.
The winter uniform had longer sleeves and thicker clothes.
However, it was cold enough on its own, so nowadays, students wear a cloak for commuting to school.
It was not so cold in the classroom, so I took off my jacket and went to class.
Chris-sensei looked at everyone in the homeroom.
“You have a final exam next week. Make sure you study hard.”
With these words, the classroom became noisy.
“—I hate tests. ……”
“—What should I do? I’ve already forgotten the contents of the midterm test.”
The test itself was given twice a year, and the first test was right after the Battle of High Orc.
I did well in the written test, using my knowledge from my previous life.
As for the practical test, I did better than the written test.
‘I’m sure I’ll be able to get a high score on the final exam as well.’, I thought to myself.
‘This is the reincarnation cheat! Wahahaha.’
…… If you’re that carefree, though, you’re going to be in trouble.
And so a week passed, and the final exam began.
There were three days of exams.
In the first two days, there was a written test, and all the questions were easy.
Having a memory of a previous life was quite a cheat, wasn’t it?
Then we entered the third day, and the practical exam began.
There was a section in the exam where you had to use your best magic.
I used gravity magic, because …… this magic was synonymous with me.
“Oh my god! Owen is flying! How do you expect me to show off?”
“Gravity release…”
I float to a height of 10 meters and drive through the sky.
But that was boring, so let me show you something.
I did a backflip in the air and moved fast as well.
“—Good, good, good!”
“—Ohhhh!”
The crowd’s cheering felt good.
And I landed on the ground, flying happily.
“Owen ……. The practical test is not a game. Points deducted.”
Oh my gosh! Chris-sensei got mad at me.
I think I got too carried away. …… I’ll try to control myself.
Next, Berg showed a sword technique using body enhancement.
Body enhancements are not magic, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem.
It seems that he did an Iai slash, but it was too fast for me to see his movements.
What? I heard a sound afterwards.
It was just my imagination, right?
Then Natalie used lightning magic and Farren used holy magic.
Finally, it was …… Dominic’s turn.
Dominic stood silently in the middle of the training center and — quickly turned his palm toward me.
‘What are you doing ……?’
I instantly went into a state of alert. Then.
“Fireball ……!”
Dominic unleashed his magic.
“Earth wall!”
I quickly used my defensive magic. But…
—— boom!
The wall was easily destroyed, and a fireball came at me…
” Manifest, ice shield!
The moment I thought this was bad ……, a shield suddenly appeared in front of me.
I was protected by it.
That was not good …….
I almost got burnt to a crisp.
But what was …… the power of …… now?
I thought Dominic’s magic would be enough to deal with earthen walls, but it was shattered easily.
“Hey–“
The moment I was about to call out for Dominic.
“What are you doing, Dominic?”
Chris-sensei gave Dominic a reproachful look.
“Oh no, Chris-sensei, ……. It was just a slip of the hand, you know. —Please don’t be so angry.”
“It looked to me like you were deliberately targeting Owen. ……?”
“No, of course not. And how can you prove that I targeted Owen?”
“…… Okay. But I will lower your points, because you couldn’t control your magic”
Dominic had always been a violent guy, but …… he would have been quiet in front of Chris-sensei.
You’re a rebel, you bastard.
I glared at Dominic in annoyance and he gave me a …… condescending look in return. As soon as the practical test was over, I confronted Dominic.
“What the …… hell do you think you’re doing?”
“What do you think you’re doing, small fry?”
“What do you think you’re doing when you just unleashed your magic!?”
“I told you, it was just a slip of the hand. ……. You’re a persistent bastard, aren’t you?”
Dominic pushed me in the chest with a bang and moved away.
“Damn ……, what the hell?”
I was getting frustrated. I had been in a bad mood all day.
And then, when the exam was over and I was changing my shoes in the shoe box, I said
“Owen, ……, I need to talk to you.”
Farren called out to me.
