chapter 30
30 – The test partner is strange
A large hole in the middle of the abdomen.
Maybe it was implemented down to the smallest details, but it didn’t look very nice to see inside.
I used healing magic on Pericus, who was gasping for breath as if he would die at any moment.
Healing magic isn’t omnipotent, but once inside it could be prevented from being seen.
Of course, the inside is still a mess.
“I’m saying this because I haven’t taken the class yet, but don’t you study the first year? About the battle.”
Even with defensive magic, it is common sense for wizards who are basically weak in physical strength to go into battle wearing various buffs.
Not only in the games I played in modern times, but of course I think that would be common sense here as well.
Even if this is an academy, the real battle outside would be risking one’s life.
Of course, as far as I know, there are various types of buff magic.
“Or did you just not attend the class properly?”
2Nd tier magic. Use Haste and Strength Up.
You can feel that your body is getting lighter and full of strength, as if your muscles are being pumped up.
I quickly ran to Ferricus and kicked him in the face.
“Ouch… !”
Prepping various resistances and defense buffs that cover the body before entering battle is the basic of the basics.
Even if a high-level defense system needs to be constructed using artifacts, there are also magic that can be used on its own.
However, the appearance of Pericus being helplessly pierced by the Lightning Spear meant that he hadn’t prepared any such buffs.
Even if there are 7 of them, the Lightning Spear is just a second tier magic. If you’re an A-class cadet, you should be able to use 2nd tier buff magic, of course.
“Did you jump at that level?”
Below level. Not worth fighting for.
Still, I thought that he must be confident in his skills, but he was just a bully without even the basics.
Time was wasted. Ferricus, who was grumbling pathetically, even looked disgusting.
“This bastard… !”
A thorn made of cold steel rises from the floor.
Metal Spike. 2Nd tier metal magic.
Without needing to dispel, I easily dodged the attack thanks to Haste, and kicked him in the stomach in succession, making him kneel on the floor.
“You are not worthy of using the 3rd level or higher.”
Where do you grow up?
I’ve never risked my life. It just grows beautifully in a greenhouse, and even in the academy, even commoners harass and scream.
A pathetic pig who doesn’t even know what real power is, just because he’s a slave, he ignored me with his skills like this.
It was no longer worth dealing with.
Time was wasted, and just breathing the same air made me sick to my stomach.
“Wind cutter.”
Shhh-
“Quaaagh-!”
A sharpened wind blade.
Fericus’ left wrist flew lightly.
“Don’t worry. It’s not even real anyway.”
I wish it was too cruel, but it’s not realistic anyway. I needed to change my habit.
Is it because he has already killed countless monsters in the subjugation system?
I didn’t feel very guilty about attacking humans in this virtual space.
“Wind cutter.”
Viscount Char-
“Keuheussuk… !”
Wind cutter. It was just a wind cutter.
I used the windcutter repeatedly, and Pericus’ uniform and skin were torn to shreds.
Occasionally, fingers, toes, and ears were cut off.
The wind blades wrapped around the body like a whirlpool.
Fericus must feel as if he is standing in the middle of a blizzard that is cutting through his body.
The blades of the wind that cannot be avoided will only cut deeper if you try to avoid them.
Pericus passed away with a desperate expression without even thinking about resisting.
“Ha, Hang, Bo… “
In the end, Pericus shouted surrender without any resistance.
At the same time, the mana that made up the arcade arena lost its light in an instant, and the spirit slowly faded away.
It meant that the magic had ended and the mind of the original body was awakening.
“… It’s pitiful.”
Before we started sparring, I was thinking of laughing at him after winning proudly.
The excitement is broken. The level was so low that I felt like I couldn’t even stretch properly.
It’s pathetic to even mention Dalian. It was to the point of anger that he attacked with such skill.
In the midst of victory without any exhilaration, the original body and mind returned, and Pericus and I opened our eyes at the same time.
“Hee, hee hee… !”
“… Under. Maybe they’re not friends, they’re the same.”
I endure swear words that seem to come out of my mouth at any moment.
When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t bear to see the body of Pericus. His frightened and pitiful expression drained even a little bit of his remaining emotion.
His pants were already damp.
Even though the spirit was in the arena, the body that reacted in response to it was beautifully worn out.
“… Cadet Pericus. Please clean the seats yourself and leave.”
With the cold voice of the professor looking down at him pitifully, the vision sparring ended.
*
“Wow… Is that possible?”
“How many wind cutters are there? “
“It must really hurt… “
“By the way, why did that first year attack with that skill? To the winner of the subjugation.”
Overwhelming skill gap.
Seeing Pericus unable to properly defend against Ian’s attack, all the onlookers stuck out their tongues.
The experienced 2nd and 3rd year cadets were discussing Pericus’ pathetic level more than Ian’s ability.
Although Ian is said to be a skilled man who won the subjugation system, all he showed in this sparring was second-tier magic.
On the other hand, the fact that an A-class cadet from aristocrats could not defend against any 2nd tier magic and suffered helplessly was honestly below the level.
It meant that the basics themselves were not working.
“It’s not even basic.”
“Oops. Tired.”
The literal exhausted Pericus.
Having surrendered as if running away from Dalian, he was trembling with his pants wet even after he came to his senses.
In fact, rumors about Lee An have already been circulating within the academy.
That’s right, a cadet from slavery won the subjugation system. And besides, I beat Creighton as my last opponent.
The 2nd and 3rd graders were already overestimating his skills.
The only ones ignoring him were the youngsters who didn’t know the world of magic properly yet, drunk on A-class mulberry like Pericus.
“… I don’t think it was anything until recently.”
In between the eyes of many cadets focused on Ian.
A time when everyone was mesmerized by Ian’s overwhelming victory and his wonderful beauty and couldn’t leave the seat.
A woman was smiling coldly as if she was interested in his magic.
“Funny.”
Silver hair that is transparent and brilliantly reflects light,
A sharp, curved nose, cute plump lips, and soft cheeks.
Sky blue eyes with a cold gaze that change such a cute impression in an instant.
As she turned behind her, her hair fluttered and reflected the light as if her ice crystals were scattered through the air.
When everyone’s eyes were focused on Ian, she left the cold scent of her own in the place and leisurely left her arena.
***
Most of the final exams passed without incident.
Because I didn’t have to take the liberal arts test anyway, I had time to cram in some of the required subjects.
He was already accustomed to staying up all night studying, so he seemed to get good grades most of the time.
I passed the exam easily, not to mention the magic subject. Apparently, it was a little lacking in the Accident Acceleration Act part.
The time invested in magic is short compared to other cadets, so it can’t be helped.
But on the contrary, at the field, the cadets looked at me as I was using 3rd and 4th tier magic with this level of Acceleration of Acceleration.
And the most worrying state of the last test.
It was the last exam and it was a subject that was not considered very important by everyone, so it was a relaxed atmosphere, but I couldn’t.
“Haa… “
Because the last test was a joint order. In other words, it means that one magic circle is divided and calculated by several wizards.
Magicians originally have increasingly independent and self-righteous personalities, so there are not many cases where they cast a single magic in cooperation.
In the first place, splitting one magic circle among several people and performing calculations in exact order itself is rather inefficient than calculating alone.
It goes without saying that you can’t use something like a joint order in a battle situation, and it was meaningless to cooperate with 6th and 7th tier magic because there were only a few people who could calculate it in the first place.
In the first place, even if multiple people calculate one magic circle, it must be based on a level of understanding that each individual can calculate alone.
Nevertheless, these subjects remain because of large-scale magic that is barely surviving.
For example, the magic to summon the hero who called me to this beggar town.
So anyway, why is this test a problem…
“This, this slave… Oh no Ian… That, that, that… “
Because my partner was Eri.
After one true education in the subjugation festival, she showed the appearance of avoiding me even in the same class.
To be honest, I didn’t want to do anything with him either. In fact, I could have lived my whole life without knowing it.
Still, it’s a test, so I have no choice but to do it… But his reaction is a bit strange.
In the past, I was good at swearing, but now I couldn’t even say a single word properly.
No, why are you doing this after you have been harassing yourself? I want to hit you more.
“Ha… Have you heard about evaluation magic? It’s the third-tier Mysteel Infusion. Can you do it?”
“Ugh, yes. It’s a magic I’ve studied before… But the calculation is difficult… “
“I will calculate the complicated trans part, so you only calculate one out of the three. 3 Seconds is enough time, right? The calculation is completed at the moment exactly 3 seconds have passed.”
“Oh, I understand?!”
Another reason why the joint order subject still exists is that even though cadets cannot use the magic,
This is because, under the assumption that everyone fully understands and has studied the arithmetic process, it is possible to use a higher-level magic circle if a group of people use a joint order.
It is an experience of directly casting high-level magic that has not yet been reached due to problems such as the level of accident acceleration, amount of mana, and operation speed, as a joint order.
Of course, that was the meaning of the joint order, but as I said, it is useless cooperation in actual combat.
Anyway, it gives the cadets the experience of using high-level magic directly, and it helps them to develop social skills as a bonus.
Well, it is one of the few subjects that has the meaning of education.
‘No matter how 3rd tier… I can’t calculate any of that, right?’
Test magic is third-tier trance-type magic with complicated calculations.
Nevertheless, it came out as a test question because each of the three magic circles that make up the magic circle is independently formed.
In other words, it means that it is a form that is easy to divide and calculate.
Of course, there are still teams that cannot even cast magic with joint spells, but
I think Eri, who is an A-rank, can calculate at least one of these in 3 seconds.
“That, that, that… Oh no… Heh, hehehe!”
“Ha… “
… Ragi is still in a bad state.
Still, will you pass the test properly?
