“It’s okay. I’ll give it a try.”

Escar took a deep breath and walked inside the cage while everyone was watching.

Standing close to Kyut, she looked like a mouse in front of a lion.

“How about it? Do you think you’ll succeed?”

“Is that possible? His magic skills are the lowest in the class.”

Car-Ann stared at the students who were laughing and chattering around them. The boys were startled and shut their mouths.

But it wasn’t wrong.

There was no way that Escar’s level could damage a monster of that level.

“haha······.”

As soon as we got closer to each other, the pressure he felt was not a joke, but Escar’s breathing became rough again.

She barely raised her magic power and performed her magic.

A ball of fire rose in the air and flew towards the head of Koyt.

‘You’re aiming for the eyes.’

If it were the eyes, it would be fragile unlike the outer skin, and it was almost the only weakness, so it was worth looking at…

Crung!

However, Koyt, who shook his head violently, easily extinguished the flying fireball.

A man full of anger, without a single wound, opened his mouth wide and roared towards Escar, who was standing still.

“Kyaak…!”

Eska covered her ears with both hands and sat down as if she had fallen to the floor.

The professor approached her, who was shaking, and lifted her up.

“I liked the spirit of challenge. But with that kind of power, you can’t even take a scratch on Koyt.”

It was Escar who came out of the cage after being completely lost.

Kane encouraged her like that.

“Are you okay, Escar?”

“Ugh, it’s fine…”

The other students seemed completely tired of the roar of the moment.

No matter how coveted the grades were, I thought that there would be no students willing to challenge themselves further.

“I’ll do it.”

But then, someone raised his hand again. It was Leah.

Leah walked into the cage and stood in front of Kyut with a calm momentum.

The attack had just made him more ferocious, but she did not appear to be intimidated at all.

I watched the scene with a bit of interest.

Would she be able to inflict damage? Are you going to try to catch the eye like Esca?

She immediately stretched out her hand and cast a spell towards Köyt.

Aww!

Koyt, who was hit by a magic cannon that was shot out like a beam of light, let out a scream in pain.

Blood was dripping from Koyt’s chest along with the stinky smoke.

Success so simple. It was also a perfect blow, not aimed at a weakness.

I tilted my head and looked at the scene. It’s not just a simple magic cannon…

ooh!

When Koyt, who was wounded, tried to run wild, Leah flinched and tried to use her magic again.

But before that, the professor came forward.

The professor’s magic that spread widely wrapped around Kyut’s whole body and suppressed it.

After calming Köyt, the professor clapped and said in a tone of admiration.

“Awesome, student Leah Harriwin. I didn’t expect it to be this simple.”

The other students looked at her with awe and envy.

In the midst of that, Kaan muttered as if it was a pity.

“Oh, I was going to do it first.”

Suddenly, Escar’s expression, standing next to Caan, caught my eye.

She was looking at Leah with a slightly darkened face and biting her lip.

***

In the evening hours, after meals, they occasionally practiced at the public training ground.

Originally, there was a group of four, but recently a member was added, and Bion often hung out together.

“Ka-Ann, Lan. You’re not properly trained like a wizard. Have you ever mastered the martial arts?”

“yes.”

“You are all strange guys. I heard that Rigon is also learning magic as well as swordsmanship.”

“Why don’t you learn some magic right now? Bayon.”

“It’s useless. For me, a body and a sword are enough.”

Bayon had a hard side, but he wasn’t a bad character.

Do I have to say that he has a warrior-like appearance, even with his personality?

“Go first. I’m going to do a little more by myself.”

“Yeah? Got it.”

After training, at my words, the kids left the training ground first.

It was an excuse to train more. It’s been a while since I didn’t check whether a hidden mystery was created in the library, so I went to check it out.

I sat down for a while and rested, then slowly got up to go out…

‘··········?’

I saw a student entering the training ground.

It was none other than Leah.

It was late, and I was surprised because I had never met her at the training ground.

‘Why did you come to the public training ground?’

The magic department and the swordsmanship department had separate training grounds.

The training ground for each department had better facilities, but this one had Leegon, so it was a common training ground.

Is it because the public training ground is bigger, or is it because there aren’t more people?

Their eyes met, but Leia didn’t pay attention to this side and took a seat on the other side of the training ground.

As I was about to leave, I decided to stay for a while.

He suddenly became curious about how to practice magic.

Leah’s magic was a simple freezing magic. A white cold air gathered in the air.

As I watched the scene, I felt something strange, but soon realized the identity of the heterogeneity.

‘Is that last time?’

The magic cannon that she showed off against Kyut in her monster exploration practice last time.

I also thought it was weird when I saw it. Because it was obviously different from the usual magic.

After observing her for a while more, I quickly figured out the principle.

“Ah… did you use the magic trick?”

I muttered like that, but Leia suddenly turned off her magic and looked around. with a look of surprise for some reason.

Suddenly, I wondered why I wanted to look at her, but she strode over this way and spoke to me at once.

“What did you just say?”

“······What?”

“What did you just say?”

Did you hear yourself talking on the street? Nice ears too.

‘But why are you doing this?’

I tilted my head and answered.

“Yeah, I just wondered if I just applied magic or magic to amplify the power. Just like the last time I did the monster research practice.”

“How did you know that?”

“I don’t know what to do… just because I can see it.”

Having said that, I could understand why she reacted this way.

is it. Do you usually just look and don’t notice?

With my super-sense, I can grasp the flow of magic in detail one by one.

In addition, he recently studied magic, and his knowledge of magic has also increased considerably.

So, it seems that the sudden increase in power at some point during the development of her magic was not the only result of mana manipulation, so I guessed the principle in connection with the magic.

Leah looked at me for a moment as if glaring at me, then opened her mouth again.

“Your eyesight is pretty good. That’s right. In the rite, only the elements responsible for the power of magic were accurately grasped and transformed.”

“I see.”

It’s possible to increase the power of magic that way.

I thought it was not a skill that could be used at the student level.

“············”.

A moment of silence passed.

For some reason, Leah continued to stand in front of me. Do you have more to say?

I stared at her, and then she turned around and went back to her place.

‘It’s a variation of the rite.’

I used fire magic once.

Of course, applying the principle of transformation failed without any sense at all.

I don’t even know the exact composition of my formula yet, let alone how to transform it.

It was possible because Leia knew exactly her own magic, and it was impossible for me.

I removed the magic and looked away.

Leah, who had been glancing around this way, was seen turning her head with a disappointed expression.

‘What is he?’

Thinking he was a strange guy, I stopped and walked out of the training ground.

I headed straight to the public library to confirm the mystery. There was still no mystery.

Lessons and adaptation (6)

Person-to-person combat was almost the only class in the Faculty of Magic where you could freely practice magic.

In the face-to-face combat class, students competed against each other or the professor directly confronted and guided the students.

About a month has passed since I entered Elphon.

Today’s interpersonal combat class was different from usual.

It was because I had an exchange class with the students of the Swordsmanship Faculty.

“Oh, there’s Lygon and Bayon.”

Ka-Ann spotted two of the swordsman students standing opposite and waved their hands.

Rigon smiled at him as well and gave his eyes to this side.

Coincidentally, the first class in the Swordsmanship Faculty that we had exchange classes with was the class that Rigon belonged to.

“You guys have learned about the battle between wizards and wizards in the lessons so far. So, how do you think the battles between wizards and warriors are different?”

Before the class started in earnest, Professor Locale started explaining as usual.

“The battle between a wizard and a wizard is usually a battle in a fixed position. Unless you are a magician who has also mastered physical skills, you don’t have the talent to move around and dodge the opponent’s magic. Therefore, in a magic war, there is basically no option to dodge, but to attack and defend. The key to magic warfare is to block the opponent’s attack magic with only magical powers, sophistication of magic, and psychological warfare, and to hit your own attack through the opponent’s defense magic.”

If I had to ask, it would be.

I listened to the professor’s explanation with moderate interest.

“But the battle between a wizard and a warrior is different. You have to hit a non-stationary target, not a stationary target, but a moving target without narrowing the distance. Therefore, the importance of the required ability factor is also quite different from magic warfare. There will be. Let’s experience the difference in class today.”

After finishing his explanation, Professor Loquel turned to the side where the students of the Swordsman Department were.

The professor of the Swordsmanship Department, who was waiting with his hand on his waist, said with a smile.

“Are you done? Shall we start right away?”

Without long words, the match started right away.

The students who came out in the first order stood facing each other in the middle of the training ground. Both looked tense.

“Start Dalian.”

With the professor’s commencement declaration, the wizard student first quickly spread the magic.

The opponent could not dodge the shock wave magic that flew in, and it was hit as it was and rolled to the floor.

But he jumped up right away and showed me how to move quickly to the side.

Normally, it would have ended the moment the magic hit, but since this was not a battle between wizards, the professors did not stop the match. The body of a person who had mastered the martial arts was not soft enough to be retired after being hit by a single light magic.

The swordsmanship student was looking for an opportunity to dig into the gap with a bold stance, as if it didn’t matter if a little magic was right.

If you cast a spell recklessly, your opponent will either hold on or dodge it and then dig into it in an instant.

In the end, our classmate, who could not stand his impatience in the confrontation, performed magic again.

The swordsmanship student rolled to the side, barely avoiding the attack, and then quickly dug inside.

The sword strike collided with the shield, and a roar rang out. From there, our classmates seemed to be in panic.

“Why are you blocking it so frustratingly? You have to counterattack quickly.”

Seeing the scene, Kaan muttered.

But it wouldn’t be that easy.

If you continue to allow attacks, the shield will collapse, but if you focus only on maintaining the defense, there is no room for counterattack.

Of course, if you have a better ability than your opponent, you can afford to counterattack, but there was no big difference in the skills of the two in terms of their level.

At the point of giving the swordsman a short distance, the wizard was already at a great disadvantage.

“Stop. The match is over.”

In the end, the professor stopped the match until just before the shield was broken.

So, the first battle was a victory for the students of the swordsmanship department.

I thought about how to lead Dalian when it was my turn.

‘In the end, you just have to hit the magic while maintaining the distance.’

Either way, they lack experience.

Even students of the School of Magic may be unfamiliar with hitting fast-moving targets, but students of the School of Swordsmanship will also be unfamiliar with the anomalous nature of magic.

So, wouldn’t it be better to spread out as many different types of magic as possible and disrupt your concentration?

A few students battled further, and my turn came quickly.

All but one of the 5 battles were won by the students of the Swordsman Department.

Kane tapped my shoulder next to me.

“Ran, you have to win. If you keep losing, you’ll hurt your self-esteem.”

Seeing Ka-Ann saying that with a serious expression, I smiled. Seeing this, a child is a child.

The student who came out against me was a fairly competent student in the early 20s.

Most of the students in his class in front of him had also won, so he looked quite confident.
