chapter 19
19 – Where are you going?
The sunlight coming through the curtained windows hurt my eyes. Thanks to that, I woke up and rubbed my eyes and got out of bed.
“I’m tired.”
I was really tired.
It’s because I overslept last night to pass on my skills to Zeke.
I headed to the bathroom to wash my body with my tired body.
After washing my body with warm water, I changed my clothes and stood in front of the mirror.
As I looked in the mirror and trimmed my hair, I remembered what happened last night.
To be honest, I didn’t think that Zeke could make the technology his own overnight. Because it was such a difficult and dangerous technology.
However, Zeke overturned my expectations and demonstrated her completed core operation in front of me.
“A monstrous fellow.”
I knew from the beginning that I had talent. However, I never thought that she would absorb all of her core operation methods from me in one night and make it my own.
It was unexpected in many ways.
After finishing my hair, I started digging through the things I had brought from home.
Because there were things I needed for the new training that started today.
It wasn’t long before I found the item.
In my hand were five black bracelets that glowed black. I took them and left the dormitory.
I walked slowly, looking at the now familiar scenery of the academy. Not long after I started walking like that, I arrived at the front of the classroom, opened the door, and entered the classroom.
The students who arrived first took their seats. After confirming that, I called attendance and took the students to the empty lot where training was always conducted.
The students who arrived at the vacant lot were surprised to see the magic cannons and dolls for instruction newly entered in the vacant lot.
“What is so much? Uh, that’s a cannon too. Why is that thing here?”
The sniffer recognized the magic cannon and said.
Magic cannons are usually used from the intermediate level of magic. I just thought it was odd that something like that was here.
“There are so many training dolls.”
Tricia said, surprised by the 50 training dolls.
Pair! Match! Match!
I clapped my hands to get the attention of the students.
All the eyes of the students were focused on me. Confirming that, I opened my mouth.
“The training that will start today is very dangerous unlike the training I have been doing so far.”
The training I’ve done so far has been dangerous, but the training I’ve started from now on has a different level of risk.
I continued as I took out the bracelets I had brought with me before leaving the dormitory.
“I want you all to wear all of these bracelets for your safety before you start training.”
I handed out the bracelets to the students.
After confirming that the students who received the bracelets wrapped the bracelets around their arms, I spoke about the performance of the bracelets.
“That bracelet is an artifact enchanted with a shield.”
If the wearer is in danger, it is an artifact that spreads a shield on its own to block attacks from the outside.
“Why are you giving me this?”
The teachers who had never given protective artifacts during training until now gave them these, and the students started to get nervous.
“It is necessary to prevent any misfortune from occurring in the upcoming training.”
I walked out in front of the magic cannons lined up in a row. Thinking I had settled in, I spoke to Veronica.
“Fire the magic cannon at me, Veronica.”
“Yes?”
Magic Cannon.
A magical tool that turns mana into shells and fires them. Depending on the amount of mana received, it is a cannon that has either a fire attribute or a water attribute.
First of all, since it was made for training purposes, it is less powerful compared to a real magic cannon, but the essence is a cannon. If you hit it with your bare body, your body will surely explode and you will die.
Veronica asked me if I could really shoot such a dangerous weapon.
“Do you really shoot me?”
“You can shoot. I will take responsibility.”
“Well, then I will shoot.”
Wow.
The magic cannon began absorbing Veronica’s mana. A magic circle was created in front of the gun barrel. The magic cannon, which had absorbed enough mana, was ready to fire.
Confirming that, Veronica fired the magic cannon.
Boom!
With a tremendous roar, the magical energy condensed in the shape of a shell flew towards me through the magic circle.
A normal person can’t even react at such a speed.
I calmly raised my magic, found a loophole in the magic bullet fired by the magic cannon, and blew my magic there.
The magic bullet that flew at me collided with my magic and disappeared in midair.
It has been destroyed.
“What, what happened?”
“The magic bullet is gone.”
“How did you do it?”
The students shouted in surprise when the magic bullet that had been flying like it was going to pierce me disappeared without a trace. I said without stopping at it.
“Fire one more time.”
“Ha, one more time?”
Veronica was surprised by the disappearance of the magic bullet, but also surprised by my words to fire it again.
“As you just saw, what you think will not happen. Don’t worry, just fire.”
In the end, Veronica started putting magic into the magic cannon once again.
Wow.
A magic circle formed in front of the barrel of the magic cannon. Inside, a shell of condensed magical power was created. The magic cannon, which was ready, fired magic bullets at me.
Boom!
A shell of condensed magic is flying towards me.
Looking at that, I took out my sword.
I raised my magic and wrapped it around my sword. It was a similar sword. It is a sword that has only become hardened by encircling magic power without any cutting power unique to swordsmanship.
With that kind of sword, I cut through the flying magic bullets.
Suddenly. The magic bullet that was cut off with a sound passed by me and returned to nature’s mana.
“Wow, did you just see it? Did you cut the magic bullet with your sword?”
Sniffer tapped Gilbert on the shoulder in surprise and asked, and Gilbert was also staring at me with surprised eyes.
“Aura Blade?”
Cleaving magic with a sword is something only a sword master’s aura blade can do.
However, if you can figure out the loopholes in magic, you can cut through magic even without an aura blade.
It’s just hard to find. It has become the saying that if you just find it, there is nothing you can’t do.
Looking at the surprised students, he said.
“It is not an aura blade. I just put magic on the sword.”
“How can you cut magic when you’re not even an Aura Blade?”
“Didn’t I already give you a demonstration?”
“Poetry…… Are you a criminal?”
“Yes, it is a demonstration. From now on, the training you will learn will involve using magic or swords to destroy flying magic.”
“Well, how do you do that?”
“If you want to, you can do it. Why do you want to give up already without even trying? And haven’t I already shown you that I can do it?”
If you don’t have ‘seeing eyes’ like me, it can honestly be said that it is difficult to instantly notice the magic bullet’s loophole. However, it is difficult, but anyone can do it if they are sufficiently skilled and disciplined.
“It may be difficult at first, but with enough practice, anyone can do it.”
It’s not like you break a lot of magic. The only thing that needs to be destroyed right now is the magical bullets fired by the magic cannon.
You can do it.
However, the students seemed to have a different opinion than me.
“Ji, thank you for teaching me until now.”
“I-I don’t think I will be able to attend classes either.”
“This is crazy.”
Excluding Zeke and Gilbert, the three of them listened to the training and started to walk backwards.
It wasn’t too much. It is a clear training that if you get it wrong, you won’t even be able to find a bone. No sane person would ever do this kind of training.
However, as I had already expected this to happen, I took out a black crystal ball a little smaller than my fist and infused it with magic power.
Then the students’ bracelets lit up and everyone stopped moving and came towards me.
“Mo, my body is on its own.”
“My body won’t listen.”
“Poetry, I hate it.”
“I can’t run away. I have the responsibility to teach you to the best of my ability so that you will not be expelled.”
This is a bet I made, so I will try to win unconditionally.
But it’s not like I’m working hard alone. Everyone has to work together, but the bet can be won.
“If you want to run away, you can run away.”
If you can escape.
“What the hell is this bracelet!”
“This, this won’t work.”
“Please send me home.”
The bracelets I handed out to the students were made when teaching students in the past, and were made to prevent them from running away because they couldn’t withstand the training.
The effect is that if the person who possesses the crystal ball blows magic power, the wearer of the bracelet will have no choice but to come to the place where the crystal ball is located.
In order to untie the bracelet, it will not come off unless the person who filled it in person loosens it.
“Then let’s start training.”
I will not die. The bracelet he gave me was just a little hard on my body.
Yes, let’s suffer a little.
