A Virgin Civil Servant Is Reincarnated as a Trashy Character in a Otome Game, but Because He Doesn’t Make a Move Despite Being in an Otome Game, the Girls Treat Him Like a High-Class Catch and Aggressively Pursue Him
“Today we’re going to practice fire magic. If you don’t handle fire properly, it can cause unintended damage. You have to be especially careful with this type of magic. Be mindful as you attempt it.”
We gathered in the courtyard for our magic lesson. Incidentally, I don’t know how to use magic.
Next to me, Aile was listening to the lecture listlessly. I wonder if she can use magic well. However, the fact that it didn’t appear in the story probably means that there was nothing special about it.
More importantly, how much magic can Elliott use? Can modern civil servants use magic? This is a big problem.
“Aile, why don’t you try using magic in front of me? I’d like to see your magic.”
“…Huh? My magic? What is that? Are you being sarcastic?”
“Eh?”
She replied in a very bad mood. It seemed like he had stepped on some kind of landmine. Aren’t all aristocrats able to use magic? No, it should have said that aristocrats can use magic.
“No, that’s not it. I didn’t really see you properly, Aile. I want to rebuild our relationship. So, can you show me again?”
“Huh… I’ll show you, but I don’t know what will happen.”
She raised her index finger slightly, looking a bit embarrassed. Then she recited what was known as an initial magic spell. Closing her eyes and focusing her mind, a brilliant light gathered around her index finger.
“Ignite, small flame—Flame Spark!”
Immediately afterward, a small flame appeared at the tip of her index finger. It was about the size of a modern matchstick flame.
“How was that? That’s the extent of the magic I can control. Pretty lame, huh?”
She said with an awkward smile. And there, in her line of sight, was Cass. He was using both hands.
“O King of Flames, play the melody of destruction—Agni Requiem!”
Immediately afterward, a dragon danced in the sky above him. It was a mysterious creature enveloped in flames. Compared to her matchstick-sized flame, it was overwhelming.
“Be still, O Dragon of Flames.”
At the same moment, the dragon that had been in the sky vanished instantly. However, the dragon remained etched in everyone’s minds and could still be replayed in their minds.
As expected, Cass is said to have the greatest magical talent in her class. Perhaps even among nobles, there are differences in magical strength and talent.
“I can’t control it. I was born into a magical family, so I want to be able to use magic like that…”
She looked a little regretful and sad. But in an instant, she turned to me with a smile.
“Hurry up! It’s your turn next Gomimu (Garbage insect). Hurry up. You can’t control magic any better than I can, so hurry up. You’re not from a magical family anyway; you’re from a swordsman’s family.”
My nickname had changed to something cute. Right, I’m from a swordsman’s family. So, I guess I’ll stand out during sword lessons.
“Hey, this is a trivial question, but what would happen if I cast the spell Cass mentioned earlier?”
“You don’t have enough magic power for that, so nothing will happen. Maybe just a faint burnt smell.”
Aile looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, “What a silly question.” From the sound of it, my total magic power isn’t very high. Well, I’ll try the spell Cass mentioned once. It’s worth a shot.
“O King of Flames, play the melody of destruction—Agni Requiem!”
Immediately after that, a dragon similar to the one from earlier appeared in the sky above me.
“Guuu”
“Elliott! What are you doing? That’s Cass and the royal family’s…”
“Stop it! Elliott! Calm that dragon down.”
Such voices swirled around me. Having cast magic for the first time, my brain couldn’t keep up. Immediately after that, an eerie feeling ran through my body. It felt like the nausea I get after drinking too much alcohol…
…Wait, I’m losing consciousness.
Immediately after that, I collapsed on the ground. I closed my eyes, feeling the pain in my forehead.
