I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 344 Chapter 61: Special Clan(3)

Special Clan(3)

"Kill the angel."

Those were the words Alpha's father had repeated to him since he first began to develop a sense of self.

"Hate the angel."

But why?

As a child, Alpha had often wondered.

A small part of him had questioned whether angels were truly malevolent. Weren't they supposed to be a kind and benevolent race?

But his father had been relentless in his teachings.

"Angels are wicked beings that have tainted the earth."

"They seek to seize the Twelve Celestial Moons and disrupt the world."

Slowly, Alpha's doubts faded.

"Yes, Father."

Time passed.

Though born human, the Angelis family had sold their souls to demons to gain the power to hunt angels, granting them lifespans far longer than that of ordinary humans.

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, and then a hundred.

Alpha lived in the shadows, nurturing his hatred for the angels that no longer existed.

By now, the reasons didn't matter.

He had been taught to hate angels, and the act of killing them had become his entire existence.

"Angels are evil."

It was a belief he had held onto for a century. And now that angels had reappeared in the world, it was time to act on the conviction his father had instilled in him.

Or so he thought.

"Something feels... off."

Alpha raised both arms to the sky, conjuring a dark crimson sphere that swelled like a balloon before exploding into a barrage of fiery meteors.

"Kyaaah!"

The sheer magnitude of the magic caused the mountainside to collapse, and Flame struggled to maintain her shield amidst the overwhelming destruction.

Then, a brief moment of vulnerability.

Alpha extended his finger and fired a red laser at Flame, but a massive snowball, falling from the sky, intercepted the beam.

"Damn it! Interfering again!"

It was as if the entire mountain was protecting Flame.

But why?

Wasn't nature supposed to side with humans?

Why was it protecting an angel?

Nature should be on the side of good, right?

And wasn't he the embodiment of good, while the angel was the evil?

Nature should be aiding him in his attack against the angel.

"You're a persistent one, aren't you..."

The battle between a 5th-class and a 7th-class mage.

It was like pitting a motorcycle against a dump truck.

The 5th class was undoubtedly powerful, but the 7th class was on a completely different level.

A 7th-class mage could unleash magic capable of demolishing an entire house without any delay and could devastate entire regions if they wished.
