chapter 28
28 – Did I do well?
Xenia’s match ended quickly.
After the match, the two greeted each other lightly and left the arena.
“Xenia sister. You are amazing.”
Tricia ate half of the popcorn before she knew it.
No matter how fast it was for watching a fight, it was quite fast even for popcorn.
As Trisha said, Xenia was amazing.
“He is probably the strongest among his peers.”
Xenia’s talent is so outstanding that she is comparable to my students.
It was clear that he would become a sword master in the next few years.
“Awesome.”
“Great. If you want to become strong like that, don’t think that you came to play today and focus on watching the game.”
After the match between Xenia and the trio, the next match was about to begin.
Called the moderator with a voice amplification artifact in his hand.
“Like yesterday, today’s first match is no joke! We will introduce the next participating students so that we can carry this heat to the end!”
The moderator pointed her arm outstretched and pointed to the exit.
“The student who will shine in the second match is a genius girl assigned to the upper class of the magic world upon admission. This is Miss Elysia. Please greet everyone with a big round of applause!”
“Waaa”
“Daaa very pretty!”
“Take me.”
“Elysia-sama, burn whoever you are against!”
Everyone cheered when Elysia appeared.
The crowd cheered louder than usual.
Maybe. It must have been the cry of the audience who fell in love with Elysia’s appearance.
“Oops. Elysia unnie is here.”
Well well.
Said Trisha, who couldn’t stop eating her popcorn.
After Elysia came to visit with Xenia. Whenever she had free time, she would visit and spend time with her classmates.
Maybe she originally had good sociability, but Elysia became friendly with the students without my knowledge.
“This match must be worth watching.”
Knowing Elysia’s skills, I was very excited for this match.
Bored of my mouth, I put my hand into Tricia’s popcorn bucket next to her, scooped up some popcorn, and popped it into her mouth.
“Oh. Buy the teacher yourself. I mean elimination.”
No matter what Trisha said, I focused on the game.
The moderator introduced the other person.
“The student who will deal with the genius girl Miss Elysia is a user of lightning magic that even famous wizards find it difficult to handle! I am Raikiri from the upper class of the magic world!”
A girl with bright yellow hair walked out from the other side of Elysia.
As befits a user of lightning magic, shallow sparks flew around her whenever she moved.
After walking to the center of the arena, she held out her hand to Elysia and greeted her.
“Nice to meet you, Elysia.”
“Nice to meet you too Raikiri. I never dreamed that I would meet Raikiri. Let me ask you a favor.”
Elysia accepted Raikiri’s greeting with her characteristic eye smile.
She didn’t hold her outstretched hand.
“Shaking hands…… Won’t you accept it?”
“Eh? But if you catch it, you will be set as a target, so how do you catch it?”
“Chit.”
Target.
Electric magic is so strong that it is difficult to control its power. So wizards who use lightning magic created target magic to use lightning magic easily.
It acts as a kind of lightning rod.
Elysia, realizing that Raikiri was casting her target spell on herself, avoided her handshake.
“Both of you, please take your seats.”
Following the moderator’s instructions, the two took their seats.
The presenter, who saw that, shot firecracker magic into the sky as usual.
Boom!
Fireworks exploded and the battle began.
The two began to raise their mana.
Electronic magic has the disadvantage of being difficult to control despite its strong power and slow magic expression time.
Theoretically, Raikiri’s attack is bound to be delayed.
Her victory or defeat will depend on how she blocks Elysia’s attacks.
“Lightning Slash.”
Unexpectedly, however, it was Raikiri who attempted the attack first.
Kurleung.
The sky darkens and lightning strikes.
A bright yellow lightning falls from the sky and strikes Raikiri.
Tricia, who saw this, exclaimed in surprise.
“Poem, did I make a mistake? Why is the lightning…….”
Lightning struck Raikiri, who had manifested magic.
From Trisha’s point of view, it looked like Raikiri had made a mistake.
“It is not a mistake.”
“But. Lightning struck the caster?”
“I didn’t attack you. Look closely.”
As I said, Trisha took a closer look at Raikiri.
“Cow, you have a sword in your hand!”
As Trisha said, Raikiri’s right hand held a sword that glowed yellow.
The lightning did not attack Raikiri.
It came down from heaven to earth to become Raikiri’s sword.
“Looks like I won.”
With a sword made of lightning, Raikiri was overflowing with confidence.
The confidence that no matter what happens, I don’t think I’ll lose.
“Oops. Do you think so?”
“Ha, let’s see if you can still say that after being hit by this.”
A sloppy posture for a prosecutor.
However, the sword of lightning that burns and shatters everything it touches with its magic-enhanced body did not dwell on such things.
A sword of lightning that shakes the heavens and earth.
It hit Elysia.
Elysia only looked at the approaching sword.
She didn’t do anything.
In the end, the sword cut Elysia.
It must have been cut.
“Oh, how!”
Raikiri shouted in a surprised voice.
“Thank you. Thanks to Raikiri, I can use it in real combat.”
The magic lightning slash that Raikiri boasts definitely hit Elysia, but it didn’t do any damage.
As I watched from the crowd, I could see what Elysia was up to.
Fafe aimed at magic loopholes.
Elysia didn’t attack on purpose until Raikiri attacked first.
“Then it is my turn.”
“Ki, wait!”
The magic was manifested as her cry was embarrassing.
A spear of blazing flame was shot.
With a loud explosion, Raikiri flew away.
She fell to the ground and passed out.
“Su, the winner is Ms. Elysia!”
The match ended with the host’s shout.
How did Elysia know before she left the arena? She looked at where I was and shook her hand vigorously.
I used what I learned well. How is it. Did I do well? It looked like a student saying
●●●
“An idiotic Helmud bastard died because he couldn’t hide it properly.”
The young man, who cut her white hair short, felt pitiful for his dead colleague.
A situation where he can’t even kill, which he enjoyed because of his dead colleague.
However, there was an order from the owner to refrain from moving for the time being. Even if she didn’t like it, she had to comply.
“Wouldn’t it be fun to do something…… Huh?”
A fun thing.
Abaddon, who wanted a scene of bloody slaughter, laughed at the sudden malice he felt.
“It looks like the demon is trying to entertain me.”
Abaddon moved towards the place where he felt the malice.
●●●
“Damn it. Damn Gilbert dare you shame me?”
A man with impressive blue hair.
Fadler is still unresolved from what happened a few days ago.
“It was wrong from the beginning. We should have kept that Gilbert out of the academy!”
I didn’t like the fact that a mere farmer from his father’s territory entered the academy with him.
What I didn’t like even more was the fact that the peasant was purely ahead of him in terms of skill.
In the meantime, his father’s authority allowed him to know the subject of the peasant. That, too, was to no avail due to an incident a few days ago.
“What, you said you wouldn’t watch it? A mere farmer who doesn’t even know the subject…… !”
Wow.
Padler, stressed out, threw everything he could get his hands on.
After a long commotion. The seated Padler caught his breath and said.
“Whoa, whoa, yes. I will make you pay for ignoring me.”
Fadler made up his mind.
Just tomorrow.
Because the opponent in the first match was Gilbert, who was not good enough to chew on.
“I’ll blow off one of his arms.”
“That sounds like fun.”
An unknown voice came from the dormitory I used alone.
Fadler hurriedly rose from his seat, drew his sword, and shouted.
“Who, who are you!”
“It’s down there.”
The sound came from under Padler’s feet.
A black liquid swelled up like a bubble, forming a human figure.
A pretty young man with light gray hair.
It was the Demon Abaddon.
“Yes, reveal your identity!”
The Fadler trembled with fear at the magic he had never seen before.
“Hmm. Stasis…… Let’s just say I’m your fan.”
“A fan?”
“Yes fan! I can say I am a huge fan of you!”
“I am not interested in sodomy!”
Heavy sinking air.
“Keuugh.”
It’s not Magi.
Only the momentum emitted by Abaddon brought Fadler to his knees.
“Because it’s navy blue, hmm…… Well, whatever you think, you’re free. I am here to help you as your fan.”
Abaddon pulled out a sword and threw it in front of the phadler.
Iron gruck.
“Take that sword, it is a gift from me.”
“What do you want from me!”
“No. As a fan, I just wanted to present you with a weapon.”
With those words, Abaddon disappeared in smoke.
“Dream, is it a dream?”
Fadler, who was left alone in the room again, saw the sword at his feet in the midst of confusion and realized that it was not a dream.
“Gulp.”
Fadler carefully raised his sword and drew it.
Sureureung.
“Ohh!”
The sword was pulled out with a clear sound, worthy of being called a famous sword.
Fadler laughed at the power he felt.
“Cheuk. Yes, tomorrow I will cut off Gilbert’s arm with this sword.”
