chapter 13
13 – I want to learn, I want to be strong
“Magic Bullet……..
“Yes. Forget everything you’ve ever learned. Ceria. From now on, you will learn the real proper combat magic. I will learn skills that work even in a war where lives come and go, not limited form of combat magic such as attacking ranged from behind while being escorted by knights.”
“Wait. Wait a minute…”
Seria had to sit in her seat and get into serious trouble.
‘Revolutionary.’
She is so creative that you would never have thought of it.
‘That’s why it’s dangerous.’
This was an act of throwing candy properly against conventional magic. It was impossible to know how public opinion would change if such magic was shown during the midterm evaluation.
Magic tower standard magic.
It was the magic that dominated the present age, and it was an academic system recognized by many. The current magical civilization was derived from these magics, so black magic that taints or distorts these magics was a highly rejected idea. And magic bullets were heretical enough to be called black magic.
‘It’s creepy.’
The more I thought about it, the more the magic bullet was deformed. It felt like magic that abandoned everything else for one purpose. And the purpose is to kill thoroughly.
If there is someone who can handle this magic skillfully, most of the magic battles she has learned and learned will become meaningless. Theoretically, no matter how much I thought about it, magic that was faster than magic bullets could not exist.
A bizarre magic that dismembered the simplest magic only by looking at speed. There is no casting, no concentration. I just swung it around and it was over. Other battle mages who basically keep the 4th stage of magic expression will be hit by magic bullets and roll on the floor before they can do anything.
Just like myself.
At this speed, it was natural for wizards, and it was a casting speed that even knights could eat.
“I know what you are worried about. The academy would turn upside down if he showed off such magic. What kind of heretical magic is this? Where did you buy the magic tower standard magic? This is black magic You will hear countless stories like this in the future.”
Daman took a cigarette out of a cigarette pack sticking out of Seria’s pocket and started smoking. It was an easily predictable future. Because she heard the same thing herself.
Why was his name called Kalion the Magnificent?
Warlock. He was called a lunatic, and I heard that he was a gray molecule that existed between the warlock and the archmage even from those who kept neutral. However, he did not regret his choice.
It was because the effectiveness and excellence of the magic system he created was clearly verified to the point of getting tired of it throughout the Great War.
“But if you learn it, you will definitely be able to feed Octavia or something.”
“Will I be expelled after taking a proper meal? I’m worried about that. You might be kicked out of the Faculty of Magic altogether.”
“Yes. I bet That’s why you need money and back. Someone who will cover up any criticism that might come when this revolutionary attempt is presented. And someone who can wrap it neatly and beautifully so that this magic can be positively projected to the public through the medium of the Internet. We need someone like that.”
“Was a money line and a backing necessary for that?”
I thought he was just saying it to eat well and live well because he was just a big empty bully and he actually did that, but he wasn’t. At this point, I’m curious.
“Why? Ultimately, what are you doing this for?”
“To kill the demon king.”
“The Demon King?”
“Yes. Devil.”
“Why are you looking for the guy who died in the Battle of the Demons?”
“I am not dead yet. This time, I plan to properly drop all nine of the stems.”
Dayman smokes a cigarette and makes a creepy expression. Now Seria had no choice but to admit it.
“…….You. Who are you?”
It wasn’t just that I got into a motorcycle accident and went insane. This was clearly a different person than Deman Calidos. Dayman smiles at her words.
“You won’t believe me even if I tell you, so I’ll let you know later. What matters right now is your relationship with me. So, are you serious about learning? Or will you just stay still?”
Cigarette smoke puffs out. No matter who sees it, it’s a sheepdog itself. When I remembered what this guy had just said, it seemed that the cognitive dissonance was coming seriously.
“I……”
I couldn’t say that I would learn. This was a completely different matter from just getting stronger. It was to learn a completely different field of magic. While she is in conflict with her troubles.
The warehouse door suddenly opened.
“Is that him?”
“Yes. No, that’s right!”
“Go.”
Some of Seria’s friends, who ran away in a hurry when 7 students from the Faculty of Engineering yesterday attacked the karaoke room, run away just like yesterday. The guy who entered the warehouse after being guided by them soon locked the warehouse door tightly.
“Daman Kalidos?”
It was a very large knight. In addition, unlike the guys from the Faculty of Engineering that I met at the karaoke room yesterday, I was wearing a full plate mail. 2 Meters tall. Great heavy armor. And even a shield and a hammer.
“What? What about that kid? Ceria. Do you know me?”
“Lee, Rigel……”
Her expression turned pale.
One of the monsters of the Knights Faculty that is rated as just below Octavia. If Octavia was a speedy knight armed with speed and flashy swordsmanship, Rigel was armed with overwhelming strength and destructive power.
“How do you know this place!…….”
“Your bully friends. I don’t really have any sense. After hitting him a couple of times, he confided in this place. But Seria. Today, I have someone I want to touch first before you.”
As Rigel said, he glared at Dayman.
“The madman of Calidos. Is that Deman Calidos?”
“Right. What’s going on?”
“I won’t kill you. I’ll cripple you instead.”
Rigel stances while holding a huge shield and hammer in both hands. Dayman laughs at that appearance.
“Seria.”
“Do, you have to run away.”
The limited space of a warehouse. Even if you want to run away, you can’t even hit it.
No matter how well you hit the distance, it’s about 5 meters.
In addition, both the armor and the shield have a magic circle drawn on them.
In addition, the opponent was not meant to engage in sparring.
I intend to rush in and crush even a few wounds.
Even if they did that, there was no teacher to stop them, and no referee.
A fundamentally different battle was about to begin, compared to her sparring with Octavia in the gymnasium so far. Her visceral fear grips Seria.
“You have to run!! If you fight, you could seriously get hurt!!”
Seria hurriedly said, but Dayman seemed to say that it didn’t matter.
“There. Don’t borrow some of your staff.”
Dayman held Seria’s staff in his hand with a relaxed tone that wasn’t even nervous. A staff in her left hand close to her heart. Wand in right hand. Seeing that, Seria’s eyes widened.
“You!…….”
Isn’t that the image of the countless know-how she developed to beat Octavia? How could that guy know that position?
“There. A guy named Rigel. Why am I looking for it?”
Rigel’s eyes furrowed at the sight of Dayman walking forward with such a confident attitude. What does the wizard believe in and walk out to the knight?
“You don’t know that.”
Rigel strides toward Dayman. Dayman, unconcerned with that figure, overloaded the staff’s automatic calculation system with a wand and fried it. Under normal circumstances, he would have screamed at the sight of his ruined staff and asked if he knew how much it cost.
But she was staring only at Dayman. What will happen?
“Life is horrible. You want to fight me…”
Rigel suddenly rushes in. Blessing he received. It was an instant acceleration. It was a skill that put down many opponents who thought it would be slow when they saw its size and heavy armor.
The hammer swings with a creepy sound. Dayman jumped forward, facing the hammer. The distance narrowed in an instant. Seria staring at her, unable to breathe.
And the next moment.
Tung!!!!
With a refreshing sound, Rigel’s hammer bounced off.
“Oh my gosh!!!!”
As if he had been hit by some powerful force, he let go of the hammer and collapsed. Rigel couldn’t control his speed and fell to the ground and rolled.
“Kyaaah!!”
Seria screams as she sees Rigel rolling right next to her and collapsing. While she hurriedly moved, Rigel stood up.
“What!! What have you done!!!!”
“Looking at the reaction, it seems like this is the first time I’ve seen this technology. It’s a technique called parrying. Young people.”
Daiman responds leisurely, puffing out a cigarette. And the next moment.
“Billion?”
Dayman’s body disappeared and he appeared next to Rigel. The wand in his right hand emitted an eerie blue aura.
“Sword steel??”
It was a bloody energy that made Rigel mistaken for a moment. The blade is swung at Rigel. He urgently blocks the attack with his shield. The magic sword scratches the shield infused with mana.
Kidduck!! Rigel’s eyes widened with an eerie metal sound.
The shield was torn.
“hahahaha! It kills the output once!!!”
While Rigel felt both frightened and perplexed, Dayman was so excited. I can’t believe my power has improved just because I changed my body! Even so, regret remains. Past. When fighting the devil. With this body and this armament, I would have easily caught him. It was a belated regret that he could have saved his comrades.
“You!!! What the hell are you doing!!!!!”
“Go to sleep.”
The wand shakes and the magic bullet is shot accurately through the torn shield. Zeng!! With a roar, one side of Rigel’s helmet was seriously bent.
The intense shock caused Rigel to stumble, bleeding from his nose, before collapsing powerlessly to the floor.
After lightly tidying up the guy, Dayman threw the burned cigarette butt on the floor and walked towards Seria.
“One more cigarette.”
Seria couldn’t keep up with her words.
He knocked Octavia’s gang’s second-ranked official to the ground before a cigarette burned out.
It also showed off a lot of unconventional techniques to be called a wizard.
“Just those skills! I hope that too…”
“That’s right. These are things that have been modified and modified to fit the battle. Parrying. Ghost step. These are magic called magic swords. Looking at it, it seems that people use the magic called magic sword these days.”
“Write it. I use it for cutting ingredients when cooking or for surgery. Use it for the purpose of stabbing bullies or people.”
Yes. It was such an insignificant magic. The kind of trivial magic that bullies use when cooking or showing off. It wasn’t magic enough to make the knights department student’s shield unusable at once.
Seria looked at the fallen Rigel and Dayman alternately.
She clenches her fist.
“Give up. Ceria. Wizards are beings who can only serve one person under the protection of knights.”
This is what Octavia told Seria when she suffered her first defeat with a strangely mocking smile.
How long did she cry in bed alone because of resentment that day?
I wanted to deny that statement, so I tried countless times, but only endless defeats.
There was not a single victory.
I didn’t give up, but Seria was getting tired as well.
“Why are you trying so hard to beat Octavia? A wizard cannot fight a knight and win.”
Everybody said so. And it’s embarrassing, but when Seria was wondering if this was right.
Dayman appeared.
“I want to learn. I want to be strong.”
Seria said that with a determined expression on her face.
“And as if to show off Octavia, I will win in front of everyone.”
For her wish.
She was thinking of gambling.
