Alicia's Pov
When I first met that boy I felt like I saw a monster in the making. At first, I saw him as a threat, though perhaps I became so sensitive to my duty as guardian of those kids that I didn't see his heroism.
I realized my thoughts were wrong and I pushed myself to get to know him better. Thankfully that opportunity came when we arrived at the tower.
There I realized how he became the way he is. I came to understand why he was such a reckless user of magic despite living inside the most prestigious place for mages.
I can't really blame him.
The average people inside the tower can cast and formulate spells quickly, that is the so-called weakest among them. The environment he was used to, made his standard of magic high which is why he anticipated that the children at the entrance exam could handle his spells. That boy thought that since he was able to do it at such a young age, it would be the same with the others or perhaps he thought they would be better than him.
