LOGICA & FALLENSTAR, CHAPTER 11: His Unknown Talent

Cain: I'm Cain. I'm a magician who goes to magic school.
Cain: I'm quite the prodigy, if I do say so myself.
Cain: I have so much talent none of the other students can compare.
Students: Whoa, Cain, you're fast! He's already done! Wowww!
Cain's Mom: You're top of your class again!
Cain's Dad: That's our Cain.
Cain: Both my mama and my papa, and even my teacher, respect my ability.
Teacher: Oh Cain, I'm so proud of you.

Cain: To me, the people around me are nothing more than footstools to raise me up higher. The masses are just there to sacrifice themselves for geniuses' sakes.
Cain: I didn't decide that. It's just how the world works.
Cain: One day, I got a little brother.
Cain: Abel was always spacing out. He was terrible at learning, and it took him forever to walk and talk.
Cain's Mom: Come on, Abel, let's play!

Cain: Mama tried to teach him some simple spells, but...
Cain's Mom: Try thinking it! "Move for me, Marble!"
Cain: Abel couldn't do a single one of them.
Cain's Mom: You musn't lick them.
Cain's Mom: Cain could already walk at this age... I can't believe they're so different, even though they're brothers.
Cain's Mom: Cain must really be special after all.
Cain: Thanks to the fact that Abel was a hopeless dunce, Papa and Mama came to praise me even more. I think this is the best little brother I could ever get. Thanks, Abel.

[sfx: screech! screech! SCREEEECH!]
Cain: (Abel's getting attacked by a bird!)
Cain: (God, what a loser!)
Cain: (That's just pitiful... I'd rather leave him to his fate, but if I save him everyone will tell me how great I am...)

Cain: Hey, Abel--
[sfx: BLAM]

Cain: (Huh?)
[sfx: splatter]
Cain: (He tore the bird to pieces...? No, that's impossible. Was that... magic?!)
Cain: (But it wasn't me! And there's no one else here!)
Cain: (Then was it Abel...? But if it was, then he...)
Cain: (He cast magic on a living creature?!)

Cain: I've read about this in my textbooks. Magicians like this are called class X, and they're so rare they're considered legendary...
Cain: I've tried to cast magic on living creatures so many times.
Cain: Get bigger! Float! Dance!!
Cain: But even someone with talent like mine couldn't make it happen. It's just not something you can force with effort. You're either born with it or you aren't.
Cain: And yet Abel did it.
Cain: He's a genius...

Cain: (Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.)
Cain: (If everyone else finds out, they'll be obsessed with him!)
Cain's Mom: You're amazing, Abel!
Cain's Dad: He's a genius!
Teacher: He's a wunderkind!
Cain: P-Papa... Mama... Teacher...
Cain's Mom: Oh, Cain, you were there too!
Cain's Mom: I never even noticed.

Cain: I WON'T HAVE IT.
Cain: Sorry, Abel... This is just how the world works.
Cain: You're nothing but a stepping stone for me...
Cain: For my greatness...

Abel: Ah!
Cain: The masses are just there to sacrifice themselves for geniuses' sakes.

Cain: That's how the world works.
