A Genius Boy Who Was Exiled From His Family Home for “Not Being Able To Use Magic” Becomes a Witch’s Apprentice and Masters All Magic in the Right Way. This Is How You Use Your Magic, You Know?

Chapter 111.2. Clyde

And now.

“What is going on……!!”

Clyde was cornered like never before.

Why?

Why, at this stage, are there still people who stand in his way?

Why do only those who lack understanding and are arrogant keep appearing before him?

And, more than anything──

“──Why hasn’t that person been punished yet……!!”

Hermes.

The man who twisted the competition he should have won with underhanded means, who messed up the reform of the academy that was supposed to be his achievement, and who snatched away the trust from Sara that was supposed to be his.

Clyde lamented why someone who committed such evil deeds and behaved so arrogantly──hasn’t yet been punished.

Moreover, his master, Katia von Tlarcia. Her schemes had Clyde cornered instead. At this rate, he would soon face ruin along with the Helmut family.

That woman should also be punished soon──but there was no sign of that either.

“It’s not just that……!”

It wasn’t just Hermes and Katia who remained unpunished.

Even A-class students who had foolishly provoked him despite having seen the fates of three others──they too should be punished, but……somehow, even they haven’t faced judgment since Hermes became their guardian.

“What does this mean! Could it be……that his power is so strong it doesn’t accept ‘punishment’? Unbelievable, that’s impossible!!”

The very assumption he dismissed as impossible was the truth.

What Clyde had been doing was attacking with the unconscious use of his Bloodline Magic disguised as someone else.

In other words──he was just ‘secretly administering private punishment.’

Such things are beyond his control. When someone with superior abilities appears, it collapses.

That was Hermes and Katia. True magic users who couldn’t be fought against by someone of his level.

The moment they appeared, Clyde’s fate was sealed.

He had no means to deal with Hermes and the others. The trick behind the ‘punishment’ he spoke of had already been uncovered by Hermes after being thwarted in attempting to execute it on the A-class student. Hermes had already figured it out in reverse.

The conclusion was checkmate.

Tomorrow, Hermes and the others would arrive at the academy, exposing Clyde’s actions in public, and Katia’s trap would be inescapable, leading to his ruin.

“Why, whyyyyyyyyyyy!!”

Convinced of his own infallibility and greatness, a small figure who, despite trying to avoid the mistakes of his former master, only ended up treading the same path.

His end was already unchangeably decided──

──or so it seemed.

“Oh, how pitiful.”

The possible outcomes for such a small figure can be broadly divided into two.

One is to be ruined without accomplishing anything.

And the other──to be conveniently used by something greater.

Unfortunately for Clyde.

His end was the latter.

“A valuable warrior trying to guide this country in the right direction is being blocked by evil adversaries and is about to meet his end here.”

From the darkness came a melodious male voice.

“How sad. To be ruined here without anyone seeing.

──But don’t worry. ‘We’ were watching you.”

The voice was beautiful, but it gave an impression of emptiness, lacking any emotion.

In plain terms, it was incredibly suspicious.

“Even now, cornered as you are, you can still believe in your righteousness. I must express my respect for your state of mind.”

……But Clyde was drawn in.

He no longer had the judgment to discern the truth of the words.

And more than anything──the content of what was spoken was too sweet to reject.

“Your place isn’t there.”

In response to Clyde’s expectations, the voice wove convenient words.

And finally emerging from the darkness was a man in his mid-twenties with a sharp face.

He extended a hand toward Clyde with an extraordinarily refined smile.

“……I will prepare a place where you can shine the most. So, why not come over here?”

The reason to reject that hand had long since disappeared from Clyde.

Thus, they would face each other.

The darkness of the kingdom. A truly evil, destructive, yet noble-willed being. A grand presence previously unseen and undisclosed.

First, hatred and revenge against them would be harnessed as a vanguard.

──And the curtain would rise on the grand event of beginnings.
