You think you're worthy of saving the world?

This kid hasn't learned any magic at all!

Every day he forces me to study, study, study like a slave owner, while he himself doesn't learn anything!

And yet they dare to brazenly boast about their magical abilities everywhere? Pfft... It's absolutely hilarious!

Stella stared at Yuri's profile, swallowing excitedly: Hmph... Who told you not to listen to my advice? Now you should regret not studying harder, right?

She couldn't wait to see Yuri embarrass herself in front of her female fans.

Stella even began to fantasize about a future where, after returning home, Yuri would cling to her leg, crying and begging her to teach him magic!

but--

"Wow! That's amazing!" As expected of Lord Euryphesse!

The knights surrounding Yuri should have been silent, but for some reason they burst into applause and praise.

"..."

Stella: W-what happened?

094 Could he really be a genius?

"I understand. I'll just give a quick demonstration. Please don't have too high expectations."

Amidst the girls' ardent gazes, the black-haired boy responded with a smile.

"Wow~ That's amazing!" "Long live Lord Euryphus~ The best~?"

"Lord Yuri! You have no reason to indulge their whims! Neither do you; the Holy Son's magic is not for performance!"

Amelod angrily tried to stop him, but the person in question shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

“It’s alright, Senior Amelod. Showing miracles to everyone is also the duty of a savior.”

"Oh... As expected of Lord Euryphus, he suddenly uttered such a philosophical statement!"

"……Well."

Miss Emerald pursed her lips and could only nod helplessly, while the other female knights immediately showed smug expressions of being pampered.

Yuri had already confirmed beforehand that there was no rule in the St. Cromwell Theological Seminary's student handbook that "auditors are prohibited from using magic on campus".

This was, in fact, Yuri's first time using magic in the real world—a memorable first.

Although Yuri had secretly practiced magic many times in her bedroom, "using it in private" and "using it in public" are two completely different concepts.

In the world of Goddess of the End, magic is an extremely unstable and unknown force.

Unpredictable chaotic forces—

If we explain this phenomenon using quantum mechanics, it is the famous observer effect: the act of observing itself will interfere with and affect the observed object.

Magic of the same class presents three completely different levels of difficulty when used privately, demonstrated in public, or applied in actual combat.

Although Yuri gained high-level magic and a series of spellcasting bonuses through the witch's contract and the evil god's favor, he was ultimately only a second-tier character.

So for Yuri, this is actually a challenge as well.

This is a good opportunity to test my limits.

If you fail, then give up the title of witch and start practicing all over again from the basics of horse stance...

"..."

The smile that had graced the handsome young man's face vanished in an instant.

Conceal all unnecessary functions and try to control the invisible magic that permeates every part of the body.

Yuri suddenly felt as if he had touched the fire of the soul.

The workings of magic have been ingrained in the boy's body.

Immediately afterwards, the Child of Prophecy raised his right hand as if beckoning—

The next instant, three golden-red flaming swords in the shape of a cross appeared in the void around Yuri.

"Wow! That's amazing, Lord Yuri!"

The girls of the Lily Cross clapped excitedly.

Then, Yuri raised his hand and pointed to the sky, and the golden flaming sword that had been coiled behind him shot out like an arrow.

Magic exploded high in the sky, and the bursts of flames and lightning scattered like fireworks across the daytime seminary.

“It’s so beautiful, Lady Yuri… What is the name of this sacred and magnificent magic?” a female knight asked curiously.

A magical cross sword, created using magic, possesses both fire and lightning attributes and can be freely controlled or fired at a target according to the caster's will.

Although this spell is only at the first level, it is one of Yuri's favorite spells, and he has practiced it countless times in private.

“The name of the magic is ‘Thunderfire Sword’,” he replied.

……

……

……

"This...how...is this possible..."

Stella stared wide-eyed at the dazzling fireworks bursting in the sky.

Although it's hard to believe, Yuri did indeed use magic under everyone's watchful eyes, and he even created three "Thunderfire Swords" at once!

This is something only a fourth-tier mage could do! And I, his magic teacher, haven't taught him anything yet!

No, first of all, can I even do it myself?

Yuri casually created three "Thunderfire Swords" with such ease!

It's possible, but there's a significant chance of failure...

Damn it! What on earth is going on? Stella was in a complete mess.

Did Yuri lie to me?

Actually, he was a very powerful magician. Asking me to teach him magic was just a lie.

No...impossible.

Unlike Cecilia, who unconditionally believed everything Yuri said, the witch, who came from a poor background, had already tested him. (During the time before Yuri entered the Singularity)

After observing Yuri, including their daily conversations, Stella concluded that he was an complete novice who knew nothing about the principles of magic!

However, the dazzling sparks that now appear before the witch's eyes are undoubtedly real magical explosions.

At least in the "Thunderfire Sword" magic, Yuri is on par with her.

Stella bit her thin lips in frustration: Could he really be a genius...?

impossible!

Even if he is the prophesied savior, there's no reason why he could achieve this level of skill without any instruction! Probably no one in the last two thousand years has ever done it!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck the witch's mind like lightning.

An incredibly bold, yet infinitely close to a possible answer, has emerged—

Good heavens! Could Yuri be a witch too?!

Stella was startled by her own unconventional thoughts.

No, no, no, how could a witch be a man?

But Yuri is so handsome...

If Chaos misjudged him, it's not impossible that he might mistake him for a witch, right?

When Stella looked at the boy's back again, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

The first witch companion I encountered was actually you...?

"?"

Stella suddenly noticed two female knights walking towards her.

"Miss Magician, don't stand here! Come on, let's celebrate together!"

They chatted happily, then grabbed Stella from both sides, ignoring her struggles, and forcibly dragged her into the crowd.

"That's amazing, Miss Stella! You must have taught Lord Yuri his magic!"

"No wonder the Holy Son specifically chose you to be his teacher! You really are something else!"

Stella's plan to avoid attention and keep a low profile failed.

Because of Yuri's outstanding performance, she, as the Holy Child's magic teacher, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

"..."

She didn't forget her character because she was so shocked by Yuri's magical demonstration—

Today, she is a cold and silent ice girl.

Stella looked at Yuri and gestured with her eyes: Explain yourself! Your magic has nothing to do with me! I haven't taught you anything!

At this moment, Yuri was immersed in the joy of successfully casting the spell:

Generally speaking, a first-tier mage can only create one "Thunderfire Sword", two require a third-tier mage, and three require a fourth-tier mage.

Unexpectedly, Yuri managed to create three in one go. Although there was an element of luck involved, it also shows that his spellcasting ability is now quite outstanding.

At that moment, Yuri noticed the witch's anxious gaze and immediately realized what was going on:

Stella is giving me a warning. Young people shouldn't forget their roots; they should be grateful and remember the kindness of their teachers!

He winked at her knowingly, then spoke honestly.

"Everyone is right. I was able to use such powerful magic so quickly, all thanks to Teacher Stella."

Don't let her young age fool you; she's actually a far more powerful magician than she appears.

"?????"

Stella: Who taught you to talk like that?

095 Stella: I'm Yuri's mother!?
