The Lady Who Was Rejected with 'I Love Someone Else' Turned Out to Be the Strongest Sorceress – The Fate of the Prince Who Abandoned Her and the Lady Who Found Freedom - Episode 19

After all the classes for the day were over and I was about to leave the classroom, my friends gathered around.

“Hey, Lady Eleanor. Your performance in today’s class was truly amazing.”

“We also want to be able to master magic like you.”

“If you have time, could you watch me practice from now on?”

I was a bit surprised by the sudden request. However, thanks to the cancellation of my engagement, I had free time during the queen’s education sessions. I had enough time to watch their practice. Since I was motivated, I thought I would like to help.

“Sure. We have plenty of time, so I’ll do my best to help everyone.”

My friends were delighted by my response. Their eyes sparkled with joy, and smiles spread across their faces.

Having moved to the training ground, we decided to first assess each other’s abilities.

Observe each person’s magic and point out the issues.

“You need to focus a bit more.”

“You over there, your movements are too rough. Be more careful.”

My friends are seriously listening to my advice. I’ve given them advice a few times before, but this time it’s different in terms of seriousness. Back then, I was holding back my abilities to match those around me. After all, advice from someone with real skills is more effective.

I started to feel a bit guilty about hiding my true abilities. I should have confessed to my friends earlier, at least.

If only I had done that, I might have been able to help everyone sooner.

But it seems like my friends aren’t too concerned. Everyone is focused on this moment. If that’s the case, then I should also cherish this time and concentrate on my guidance.

“Hey, Eleanor-sama, about this morning…”

During a break in training, one of my friends brought it up.

“I heard you were having a fight with Prince Alfred, so I was watching the situation this morning. I’m sorry for not being able to talk to you and making it seem like I was ignoring you.”

“I’m sorry too. I didn’t have the courage…”

The other kids also continue speaking, looking apologetic.

I see, so you all gathered today because you wanted to apologize for what happened this morning.

“I’m not worried about it. Approaching in that situation takes quite a bit of courage.”

I said with a smile.

“Besides, if I were in the same position, I think I would have first observed the situation.”

To be honest, if I were in the opposite position, I might have approached you without hesitation. That’s because I have magical abilities.

Even if the prince glares at me, I have the confidence that I can handle it somehow. If it comes down to it, I think I can just blow him away with magic.

But my friends don’t have that kind of power. So, I understand that it’s natural to take a step back and watch over them. That’s why I forgave my friends.

After that, study sessions after school began to be held regularly. We would gather with friends and all work on honing our magical skills together. Days spent striving to improve our abilities through mutual effort and competition.

The friends who respected me as a person of ability followed my instructions seriously and rapidly improved their skills.

The number of participants in the study group increased day by day, and before I knew it, the overall magic level of the academy had been raised. I’m happy to think that I was able to contribute to everyone’s growth.
