A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Don’t Ask, If You Must, The Answer Is Talent

My official academy life began.

I was assigned to the same class as the other 23 light-attribute freshmen and began to learn more light-attribute magic.

The teacher selectively picked light-attribute magic spells from the textbooks, and taught the students the usage techniques, the introduction of abilities, and the distribution of magic, starting from the easiest.

The magic in the human body was not unlimited, and one would not only use one spell in battle. The cooperation of multiple spells was often required. This was very practical in battle.

It’s just not as practical for me.

After learning to create magic, I could control the magic in my body at will, allowing them to exist in a reasonable state at any time.

So I zoned out, my gaze on the window.

I hadn’t seen Sephone in the 10 days since I parted with her.

Perhaps it was because she was studying magic, but I had a feeling that she was avoiding me.

For some reason, this thought disappointed me.

After the teacher called my name an unknown number of times, I suddenly realized that I was in class.

“Present.”

I hurriedly stood up.

“Will, why don’t you demonstrate the Holy Light Battle Intent Magic for everyone?”

“Yes.”

With a thought, a layer of white Holy Light immediately appeared on my body.

Unlike the protective magic of the Divine Light, the Holy Light Battle Intent was a combat-enhancing magic. The light attached to my body was not as smooth as the Divine Light, but was a glow as dazzling as the sun.

All of these were recorded in the Book of Rosiel. In order to answer questions during exams and classes, I had already memorized the Holy Light magic in the Book of Rosiel by heart.

“So… so fast?!”

“Doesn’t he need to chant at all?”

“Why can he directly activate magic? Teacher, what’s going on!”

I heard all sorts of shocked whispers from my classmates, and the stunned teacher in front of me suddenly reminded me. Because I was distracted, I completely forgot to hide myself and directly activated my magic as quickly as possible.

“Will, you did very well. Sit down first. Students, be quiet! Be quiet!”

The teacher was the first to react and forced the noisy classroom to calm down.

“Students, let me explain to you why Will doesn’t need to chant an incantation to activate his magic. To put it simply, talent. In other words, Will is a genius. I’m sorry that this will be a blow you, but it’s indeed the case.

“For ordinary people, magic requires incantations to be activated. For some talented people, they can use their own methods to activate magic. Will is one of them, and there are many such people in our academy.”

“However, although talent is important, you don’t have to belittle yourself. If you practice day after day, you can recite the magic incantation faster and more proficiently. When you recite the magic incantation quickly enough, you will be one step closer to being a genius. You still have six years to work hard and practice. Hard work will always pay off. Next, let’s continue with the class.”

After the teacher finished speaking calmly, he swept his gaze across the classroom and continued to interpret occasions and time to use the Holy Light Battle Intent.

However, the students’ attention was no longer on the podium.

I could clearly feel all kinds of gazes from the class.

There was envy, jealousy, and admiration, and many emotions mixed together.

A moment later.

Even the teacher noticed it. He quickly stopped his lecture and announced that this class would be for self-studying.

It wasn’t until the bell rang that the teacher walked over to me.

“Will, I usually have to report an outstanding student like you to the academy committee. Please understand. So if you’re summoned by the higher-ups of the academy one day, please don’t worry. Just go with a peace of mind.”

“Thank you, Teacher. I understand.”

“Mm mm, you’re welcome.”

The teacher said a few words and left with a smile.

After he left.

More than half the students in the class crowded around my seat.

Even the only three female students in the class.

“Will, how does it feel to use magic without chanting?”

“That’s right, that’s right. I want to know too. Tell us about it.”

“And…”

The last time so many people surrounded me was when I was just born, but it was different then, when it was my parents and servants, and I didn’t need to speak.

Now that those people had become my classmates of the same age, it was really a headache for me, who had only had an elder sister since I was young.

All kinds of chirping sounds surrounded me, hitting my eardrums, and I couldn’t refuse.

“Actually… I don’t know what it feels like either. I just suddenly realized that I can use magic without chanting an incantation.”

I could only use these words to brush them off. I was not magnanimous enough to want to publicize the secret of creating magic. That was something that I could only share with people I trusted the most.

“Ah? Isn’t that equivalent to not saying anything…”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Perhaps talent really can’t be explained. Even if he does share, we might not understand. We’d better focus on practicing our incantations.”

My classmates’ enthusiasm came and went quickly.

All the male students left. There were only three female students lingering around my seat, as if they were hesitating about something but didn’t dare to go ahead.

I could only pretend not to notice and focus on the book in front of me.

“I say, you guys, he’s not even interested in you guys anymore. Why are you still acting coy here? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Are you a worthy match for him?!”

A series of heartless and cold words made the three girls cry and run away.

Carle moved over as he spoke and sat on the seat beside me.

“Will, I didn’t expect you to be hiding so much. My defeat was not unfair, but you actually got distracted in class. The teacher called you three times before you stood up. Let me guess what happened to you. Did you get dumped by Sephone?”

His annoying look made me want to punch him a few times, but seeing that he had just helped me out, I held back.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as an admission. Hahaha, no wonder I haven’t seen Sephone looking for you these past few days. You also went straight back to the dormitory after class. I knew it. With Sephone’s background, why would she fall for you? At most, she found you interesting at first and was interested for a few days. After her enthusiasm passed, she gave up because she felt that there was no point.”

Although I wanted to retort,

based on the facts of the past few days, it seemed to be exactly as he had said. I did not have the confidence to refute at all.

“Will, listen to me. Given her family background, she can see countless geniuses. She doesn’t lack you. Think about it. There are so many girls in the academy. You can pick any one of them. You don’t have to hang on to that one person. Hahaha-“

Carle patted my shoulder, almost doubling over with laughter.

“Carle, what are you saying to Will? Repeat what you just said to me.”

At the door.

An extremely cold female voice sounded, and the air in the classroom seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
