Chapter 18: My Adorable Daughter Is an A-Class Mage

Inside the Magic Association’s president’s office, I sat next to Lucia, with Dylan across from us. Standing beside us was the “handsome” version of me from earlier, which Lucia had just summoned right in front of Dylan.

“Pretty impressive, huh? There aren’t many people who can pull off summoning magic at this level! Lucia must be the only one in the whole world who can do it!”

“Hmm...”

“It’s seriously amazing, right? You saw it with your own eyes! With magic like this, she’s gotta be S-class, no question—”

“Yeah, I get it. Now shut up for a second.”

Dylan cut off my passionate speech midway and leaned in to take a closer look at Handsome Light. Then he turned to Lucia. “Lucia, was it?”

“Yep!”

“Can you control this thing you summoned?”

“Uh-huh!”

Right after she gave a firm nod, Handsome Light brushed his bangs back with a dramatic flourish. Where on earth did she even learn a pose like that? It was ridiculously over-the-top.

“You’re making it do that?”

“Yup.”

“Can you send it far away? Like, say, use it to run errands—kind of like my crows?”

“Totally!”

“In that case, can you control it directly? Or does it act on its own?”

“Hmm...either way works!”

“Wow. That’s impressive.” Dylan’s eyes widened in genuine surprise. Then he slowly leaned back into the couch, sinking into the cushions with a thoughtful expression. “Both remote-controlled and autonomous... That’s absolutely incredible.”

“Right?! I told you, Lucia’s amazing!”

“Hmm...”

Dylan stroked his chin, deep in thought. What was there to hesitate about? Sure, maybe she still needed to go through the proper evaluations, but anyone with eyes could see this was easily A-class or higher.

“No, I get why you’re saying that after what we just saw. I do. But...”

Dylan trailed off and shot me a weary look.

“Wh-What?”

I flinched under his gaze.

“You’re S-class yourself. You should know better than to be so blindly biased just because she’s your daughter.”

“Huh?”

“We can grant up to an A-class certification right here on the spot. But S-class requires proven accomplishments.”

“Oh...”

Dylan’s words snapped me back to my senses. Of course—he was right. The association’s mage classification system went from D to S. For classes up to A, evaluation was based purely on ability. But for S-class, accomplishments and achievements had to be taken into account. Lucia hadn’t done anything worthy of recognition yet. I knew that. I should have known that. And yet, it wasn’t until Dylan said it outright that I remembered.

“We can issue a provisional S-class designation, if you’re interested...”

“No way!”

I cut him off sharply, my voice far stronger than I intended. Lucia, who had been quietly listening beside me, jumped at my tone.

“Daddy...?” she asked, looking up at me with wide eyes. I quickly softened and gave her a reassuring smile before turning back to Dylan.

“That provisional S-class thing—you mean the association’s way of saying, ‘She doesn’t have the accomplishments yet, but she’s basically S-class,’ right?”

“Exactly. And I’m assuming you already know from this outburst, but it’s often handed out through connections or blackmail. It’s the
