Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Thoughts
’Their families probably have males that belong to them so they wouldn’t be looking for a male, but if I can someone get close to them, then maybe’
"I have just one question for you: why do you really want to attend the magic academy? Please give me a good answer," Evelyn said.
"Why do other S-rank attend the academy? I’m attending for the same reason; just because I’m a male doesn’t mean I want to do what males do," Roman replied.
"What if you fail to win the Queen’s tournament, that would be the end of your dreams; what would you do then?" Evelyn asked.
"Why do you assume I’ll fail? The thought of failure hadn’t crossed my mind; I just hesitated to make a choice, so it’ll look like I was thinking about it," Roman said with a smile.
’That’s a fucking lie, I’m sure there are other S-rank and A-rank mages, and a tournament organized by the Queen, everyone would want to win since the Queen would be watching and the winner would get a reward’
"When you came in, I knew there was something different about you, other males especially males who awaken A-rank ability and want nothing but wealth and a good life," Evelyn said
"I also want that, but I have a goal that I need to attend the academy to accomplish, and even if I didn’t attend the academy, I’ll still find a way to learn magic, but attending the academy is simply the fastest way," Roman spoke.
"Hmm, I hope you meet Victoria’s standards, or you’re going to lose at the Queen’s tournament," Evelyn said as she stood up, and Roman turned towards Victoria.
"Nice to meet you, Roman," Victoria spoke as she also stood up, leaving the room along with Evelyn.
Roman had no idea what Evelyn meant by reaching Victoria’s standard.
’Wait...is she going to train me, one of the heads of the academy is going to train me, or maybe she’s in charge of training all the class 1 students, I don’t think that’s, why would the head of the academy bother herself with training students’ Roman thought as he stood up.
A Royal guard was in front of the door and opened it as Roman walked through, a maid was at the other side of the door and escorted him back to the guest room.
"What happened?" Amelia asked as he stepped in.
"Nothing, both of them are the heads of the magic academy. The one with red hair asked for my reason for wanting to attend, and that was it," Roman spoke.
"You do know you can’t, right? After a month, you’ll have to win a tournament that other students like you would take part in; how are you going to win when you pass out after just a spell?" Anya asked.
"Training, hours of training...and I think you’re forgetting that I’m S-rank" Roman said.
’SSS-ranked actually but I’m sure no one had ever attained that, except the founder of magic...wait, if the founder of magic can create a process like the awakening ceremony, then I could probably do something similar to myself, maybe reawakening and make myself stronger’
"What are you daydreaming about? You’re not going to win just because you’re S-rank; Reina is also S-rank, and I’m pretty sure she’s stronger than you; what if you face her?" Anya said.
"Why are you worried over nothing? If I do lose, it’s not like there’s some penalty; I’ll just live the rest of my life in the palace," Roman replied.
"Do you want to do that? You have always wanted to learn magic since you were little; I don’t think you’ll be happy living the rest of your life here," Amelia spoke.
"I’m not going to fail the Queen challenge," Roman said as he lay down.
Amelia and Anya were unsure where he got his confidence from, but as long as he wasn’t worried, then they would try not to be.
’System,’ Roman muttered in his head, and the screen appeared in front of him.
[Level Up]

’Oh, I forgot it was only two encounters left, Amelia in the carriage and Anya in the bathroom, and Amelia again, so leveling up only got me an increase in stamina, it’s related to sex so I guess that’s why’
’Still, an increase in stamina is good for my spellcasting... I’m not going to cast a spell till I’ve increased my Mana enough to handle it’
Roman’s skill was obviously overpowered; he could learn any magic he wanted, but the problem now was his body was too weak to use that power, so he had to train till his body was strong enough to use it.
’I have no idea what Mana capacity I need to have as the bare minimum to use a spell, meaning it’s all going to be trial and error till I get it right, some of my spells are weaker than the others, but I’m an elemental mage so I can’t use my other spells’
’A simple spell like the [Light Rune] wouldn’t use as much Mana or drain my stamina like the fireball, but I can’t try it in the palace; who knows if someone is watching or listening in?
’Now I have a tournament to worry about, I have no idea if there’s another S-rank who awakened in the last six months, but even if I meet an opponent like Reina, I’m sure she wouldn’t hesitate to win in front of the Queen’
Roman lay on the bed with his thoughts while Amelia stood at the window looking out and Anya went back to the bathroom to stand in front of the mirror.
