I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

22 – 22. Winner

The fight between the strong is surprisingly not flashy.

This is especially true if it is a sparring match between a close-range dealer and a long-distance sniper.

Almost everyone except me probably thought that.

If Adela allows Scarlett to approach, she will immediately be grabbed by the back of her neck and pinned to the floor.

Otherwise, Scarlett will be hit by the Mana Bullet for nothing.

But, the scene unfolding in the center of the sparring hall right now.

It was just a silhouette of two people surrounded by dust.

“No, wait. “What just happened?”

An absurd question from the female student sitting in front of me.

With that as a starting point, the outfield suddenly became unusual.

“I don’t know. “Where has Scarlett gone?”

“You idiot, that’s what happened after you hit Adela. “Didn’t you see it?”

“Like that? “What is that?”

“Well, that’s…” .”

Most students couldn’t even keep up with Scarlett’s speed.

Even the sharp-eyed students couldn’t figure out why the dust was rising.

Of course, our saintess also urgently pulled my collar.

“Tongue, brother! “Isn’t this a big problem now?”

Cheonhwa’s maximum output broke through the thick mana coating on the sparring hall floor and even turned over the dirt underneath.

Are you worried that Scarlett took that blow and is now in quite a critical situation?

My thoughts were a little different.

“That’s surprising. “I never thought it would be like this.”

“Yes?”

“I thought it was an unavoidable angle and posture, but it seems that wasn’t the case.”

Soon the dust clears, and the internal situation that had only seemed blurry is revealed.

The first thing that came into view was Adella.

In her right hand, she is holding a flower with a blue shield deployed and looking intently at her opponent.

And Scarlett stands precariously a little away from there.

None of the two’s shields were stained black.

The implications were clear.

The anticipatory shot of conversion we had designed ended up hitting the ground instead of our first choice target.

‘He seems like a crazy fraudster… !’

In a situation where you were charging at full power, you dodged the mana bullet that reached above your head?

Isn’t he stronger than the main character?

An innate sense that makes the impossible possible.

However, it appears that the price was not small.

–

Bang!

·

Adella pulls the Cheonhwa that was in contact with the ceiling towards her and fires it.

Scarlett immediately dodged it, but its movements had clearly slowed down.

She is probably….

“It seems like there is a strain on my body.”

Suddenly, a husky voice came from next to me.

When I turned my head, I saw an instructor sitting next to me, where the seat had been empty until now.

It’s even a familiar face.

“…Instructor Miho. “What are you doing as a director while you’re sitting here?”

“I thought the sparring would be long. “Isn’t it good manners to avoid being seen?”

Well, if she were one of the strongest in the world, it wouldn’t be a problem to catch every strand of her hair as the fight unfolds at her level.

Why did you sit next to me? I was surprised.

“So, which side do you think has the advantage?”

“Hmm.”

Now, the couplet in front of me is completely outside of common sense.

A feast of brawls between melee and ADCs, exchanging blows with each other.

When Scarlett rushes in, Adela blocks it.

Immediately, the flower above her head bursts into flames, and this time Scarlett retreats.

Repeat below.

Among the two students who have been walking the tightrope for a minute, which ends as soon as an effective hit is allowed.

If you predict which side will collapse….

“Scarlett will lose.”

“Hmm.”

A fox instructor waving his tail as if he knew this would happen.

It was also a position where Naya Adela desperately wanted to win, but even if she were selfless, she would have raised her hand.

“Brother…. No, instructor. Why are you expecting Miss Scarlett to lose?”

The saintess, who had inadvertently called her brother, quickly changed her title upon seeing the fearsome instructor Miho.

He was so scared that his voice trembled, but he still seemed curious about my opinion.

Then you should answer.

“First of all, it’s not because she’s limping on her leg.”

“…Hmm?”

Miho pricks her fox ears as if she is puzzled.

I know.

If Scarlett is defeated, it will not be because of ‘a strain on her body.’

What is needed to bring her to her knees is a more solid blow. In short-

“In a battle of geniuses, the one who has exhausted all his cards is bound to fall first.”

“Well, I’m not sure.”

“It’s unexpected. “Miss Adela is struggling quite a bit, but physical fighting is not her specialty in the first place.”

To put it bluntly, Scarlett has shown everything she can show at this point.

But Adela is different.

Not Cheonhwa’s strength, but Adela’s own strength. That hasn’t come out yet.

Paula, not fully understanding what I meant, tilted her head.

–

Pang!

·

At the same time, a cool hitting sound rang out from the center of the stage.

In the end, Cheonhwa’s defense shield was unable to withstand Scarlett’s attack and went off.

The owner, Adela, fell to the broken floor of the sparring hall.

Once again, her dust envelopes her.

Scarlet spurs her legs to land her finishing blow.

Towards the hazy, muddy fog.

“It looks like the winner is a winner.”

Instructor Miho, who stood up while saying that, seemed confident of Scarlett’s victory.

I answered.

“Well, okay.”

—

Adela opened her eyes.

The acrid dust scratched her insides mercilessly.

An experience I have never had before in my life.

Who would have imagined that she, the only daughter of a caravan, would end up rolling on the dirt floor.

From a mouth filled with sand, a word that was almost awe-inspiring flowed out.

“…He’s really persistent until the end.”

Suddenly his words came to mind.

The conversation I had with Ivan passes by like a panorama.

If you think about it now, it’s even better than converting Cheonhwa into a shield.

Every word that came out of his mouth was more valuable.

He’ll come to the left, so block that side and take the win.

If the first game is blocked, it’s a melee from then on. Take as much time as possible and look for gaps.

It felt as if we were fighting on the drawing paper he had drawn.

Over the course of two weeks, the two of them prepared for today’s sparring dozens of times.

This is what we achieved at the end.

However, she had no intention of giving up.

The one who removed Cheonhwa’s shield was not Scarlett’s fist, but Adella herself.

The current dust is also a self-created situation.

Gap. This was the last game he told me about.

‘Instructor, what should we do if all else fails?’

‘There is no such thing as a rumor.’

‘…’

‘Well, I understand your concerns. So, let’s say one word without responsibility.’

Scarlett’s silhouette can be seen from afar.

Based on my experience so far, it will reach her nose faster than it takes her to blink.

Adela cut off all mana connections on her fingers.

The flower petals that were floating in her air also fell and landed in her grasp.

A defensive petal in the right hand and an offensive petal in the left hand.

She pondered.

His final advice.

‘What do you do?’

‘Yes?’

‘Scarlett has lived as the leader of the back alleys and a born fighter. In that way, it means summarizing what you have done in your life so far. Simply.’

He always started with an unexpected question,

She was worried that much.

A businessman, a money maker, an arrogant commoner, and a young lady who got along well with her parents.

She, the abominable derogatory names that followed her.

If we put them all together in one word.

‘I am a merchant.’

‘If you know it, try using it in battle.’

‘…Yes?’

Honestly, I didn’t understand it on the spot and passed on.

Only when she got to this point was she finally able to understand what he meant.

Things she learned by changing copper coins into silver coins and silver coins into gold coins.

They are her weapons, perhaps more powerful than Cheonhwa.

If you are a merchant,

At any time and under any circumstances.

You have to be cunning and cunning, playing on top of your opponent’s head.

That’s why I intentionally left a gap.

Two heavenly flowers held in one’s hands.

Which side does the mana bullet come out from and where does the shield come out?

Because in this thick dust, only she can distinguish.

“…I don’t know if I can do it.”

When Scarlett swings her fist, Adela blocks it.

The act that has been repeated over and over and engraved in each other’s minds is finally twisted.

Therefore, she held the flower in her left hand forward.

As if we were going to deploy a defense shield like before.

Paat!

·

With the sound of air being torn apart, the dust clears in an instant.

The monster in front of her is rushing at a speed that her cognitive ability cannot keep up with.

When I checked her posture as she held and pushed her cloth,

What thoughts will she be obsessed with?

–

Quad!

With a sound, the opponent in front of him put on the brakes.

Her momentum, which had been rushing towards her as if she were going to pierce her, also faded quite a bit.

The visual acuity is enough to make you cringe.

No matter how many seconds she splits into dozens, in this split second, she confirmed that a shield would be deployed in front of her and reacted.

Dispersion of power.

If you focus all your strength on one point and the punch is blocked, there is no next time.

Knowing that, Scarlett removed a significant portion of the mana from her fist.

The intention is to completely stop Adela’s body by hitting the cloth on which the shield was printed, and then attack Adella’s now empty loophole.

But, what came out of the flower she held in her own hand.

It was not a shield, but a mana bullet.

Kwaang!

Different types of sound from being hit ring out at the same time.

Adela, who had no defenses, faced Scarlett’s regime squarely.

The defenseless Scarlett was also hit by a mana bullet and flew away.

But Adela saw clearly.

Scarlett’s expression at the moment her fist and the flower intersect.

She was filled with feelings of embarrassment that she had never seen before.

It was an expression of defeat.

—

Instructor Miho lifted the mana shield that surrounded the entire stage.

As she walks into the center, her eyes scan two students at the same time.

White hair flew like a bullet and hit the wall.

He was hit by a mana bullet and fell after being blown away.

For both students, the hands where they were hit were stained black.

“…Isn’t that dead?”

“You sound unlucky, is the S-class shield easy? “It didn’t break through.”

“That’s right. It’s pitch black. But if this happens, who wins… ?”

The students’ expressions were now approaching resignation.

I felt a wall in their fight.

It was not a good sign as it could lead to desperation, but I decided to understand this time.

‘You are far beyond the level of a first-year student.’

I wonder how many years have passed since I saw a couplet that went beyond my expectations.

Did Ivan know that this would happen?

But, even more than that.

Now was the time to decide victory or defeat.

“End of sparring. The winner is-“

No matter how much she was covered in dust, she could not deceive her eyes.

Magic power and fists intersect in an instant.

Which one collapsed first, the output of Cheonhwa or the mana in his fist?

From the beginning, it seemed like the parties involved already knew.

“Adela Cathy, congratulations on becoming a midterm evaluation senior.”
