Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 28 Mage Slayer (1)

Afternoon.

A circular stadium reminiscent of the Colosseum.

The academy’s first practical class, interpersonal combat training, has begun.

The cadets of Class A lined up in front of Kim Joo-hee, each carrying their own weapon.

“Then, before we begin, I will explain the rules of sparring.”

The rules of sparring are simple.

Sparring is conducted in one set of 5 minutes, and the sparring time may be extended at the instructor’s discretion.

After 5 minutes, each score is assigned based on the judgment of the judging assistants.

However, if the opponent shouts surrender or faints during sparring, additional points are given to the winning cadet.

“Then let’s start drawing lots.”

The matching method is also simple.

Draw lots and randomly match opponents.

However, if the specifications were too overwhelmingly different, proper evaluation could not be made, so the method was to divide the cadets into three groups, upper, middle, and lower, and match them.

“Then the first sparring!”

Kim Joo-hee drew two number tickets from the lottery box.

“Hong Kang Seo-jun! Cheong Cha Hyun-ho!”

Coincidentally, the first match was a match between Kang Seo-jun and a mage with C+ grade magical power.

Cha Hyun-ho stood up from his waiting seat and sneered.

“I’m making that bastard pack up and go home today.”

With those words, people around me also expressed their expectations one by one.

“Okay. Show me what a wall is.”

“That troll bastard. Kick him out.”

“Anti-purification. Elimination of the undead. I support you.”

[The constellation “The Sympathetic Hermit” Sponsors dimensional currency as a means of consolation.]

Jin Se-rin glared at them with a frown.

On the other hand, Kang Seo-jun’s expression was extremely comfortable.

‘You’re lucky.’

In fact, with Kang Seo-jun’s current spec, the best person to deal with was a wizard.

If you are matched with an opponent such as a fighter or tank, your means of response are unclear unless you use the time to counterattack, and even if you use the time to counterattack, you must bear the risk of having your weakness revealed as ‘there is no means of attack other than a counterattack’. .

The trick was the same for shooters who used long-distance physical attacks.

The shooters have no time to counterattack because they are from a long distance, but their physical specs are much better than the wizards.

However, if you were a wizard with C+ level magical power, you could do something with Kang Seo-jun’s current specs.

We have prepared thoroughly to deal with long distances, and we have also prepared a few tricks in advance.

As Kang Seo-jun stood up and touched the ground with his cane, Jin Se-rin spoke in a low whisper.

“Are you going to win?”

When Kang Seo-jun slightly nodded his head, Jin Se-rin’s expression softened.

-Limp! Limping!

As Kang Seo-jun came down from the stands, Lim Chae-won suddenly approached Jin Se-rin.

“Who will win?”

“Uh, huh?”

“Those two.”

This question was asked assuming that Kang Seo-jun would win, of course.

However, Lim Chae-won was curious about how Jin Se-rin would react to this question.

If Jin Se-rin openly asserts Kang Seo-jun’s victory, the idea that Kang Seo-jun is trying to hide his strength was a mistake.

If he is even a little embarrassed and looks around, he is sharing some secret with Jin Se-rin.

Lim Chae-won glanced at Jin Se-rin with her flounder eyes, watching her reaction.

“Well, well~ I guess we’ll have to wait until the results come out~ Hmm!”

The correct answer seemed to be the latter.

“Hmm~ Normally you would think Cha Hyun-ho would win. That’s weird.”

Jin Se-rin quickly answered as if making excuses.

“I am careful to know that I have to try everything…!”

It was a lie.

She has a personality that makes it surprisingly easy to make conclusions.

In fact, in my mind, I was 100% thinking that Kang Seo-jun would win.

“I see. But you two seem very close. What is your relationship?”

“Huh? Of course we’re friends…”

Jin Serin blurted out the end of her sentence while trying to conclude that she was her friend, but she soon corrected her words a little.

“No. It’s a little closer than that…”

“Closer… Than friends…?”

“We take care of each other…”

One word came to Lim Chae-won’s mind and she was shocked.

“Let’s date!?”

“Oh, no!”

Jin Serin hurriedly threw up her hands.

Her face was bright red.

“Just! Best friends!”

“Ugh, um!”

What is just a friend, and what is a shy best friend?

Lim Chae-won’s mind was confused for a moment at that subtle difference.

-Waddle! Waddle!

-Tap, step, step.

Soon, the players climbed onto the stadium disc and faced each other from their respective positions.

“I’ll show you what talent is that you can’t match even if you try your whole life.”

Cha Hyun-ho relaxed his body lightly, confident of his victory.

Kang Seo-jun just waited in silence for the sparring to begin.

“Then Hong, Cheong, each prepare.”

-Beep!

The sparring began with Kim Joo-hee vigorously blowing her family register.

“I’ll finish it in 3 seconds!”

Cha Hyeon-ho concentrated all his magical power on the tip of his staff.

At the same time, Kang Seo-jun’s eyes widened.

[ The Eye of Providence interprets the opponent’s magic. ]

Numerous magic techniques and runic symbols gathered around a magic wand.

Cha Hyun-ho’s mana flow came into Kang Seo-jun’s eyes clearly.

Gangseo Jun extended his staff forward and whispered softly.

“Dispel.”

-Paaaaang!

“Oh my!”

Then the mana dispersed and caused an explosion.

It wasn’t a very strong explosion, but it was enough to make Cha Hyeon-ho’s eyes squeeze shut.

“Ugh…!”

The moment when he barely squeezes his stinging eyelids and looks ahead to understand the situation.

-Waddle, waddle, waddle!

Kang Seo-jun was closing the distance with movements that seemed to be fast-forwarding at double speed.

“Huh, wow…!”

The sight of a red, shiny lump of pus getting closer and closer and filling the field of vision is truly terrifying.

“What, what!? That movement!”

“So… It gives me goosebumps!!”

It was enough to shock not only Cha Hyeon-ho but also the cadets watching.

-Whoa!

Kang Seo-jun took advantage of the inertia of running and swung his magic wand widely.

“Ugh…!”

Cha Hyun-ho narrowly avoided it by turning his body to the side and quickly took a step back to widen the distance again.

“Ah, ah…!”

– Cheolpudeok!

Kang Seo-jun was unable to stop his inertia, so he took a missed swing and fell.

Cha Hyeon-ho, who had time to catch his breath, began casting quickly again.

“The remaining tricks…!”

Mana begins to gather in his magic staff again.

However.

[ The Eye of Providence interprets the opponent’s magic. ]

“Dispel.”

-Paaaaang!

The magic was destroyed again before it could take its form.

This shocking sum occurred in less than 10 seconds.

The cadets watching were astonished by the unexpected flow.

“Why can’t Cha Hyun-ho do anything?”

“Um, is that an anti-demon trait…?”

“No. There was mana interference…!”

“Then dispel…?”

“Didn’t you say it’s a magic class F?”

“Wait, what was that speed just now…!”

They began to express their thoughts about the background of the performance that Seojun Kang had just shown.

“It’s too fast to be dispelled…!”

“Intelligence F… No. Didn’t you say it was grade E…?”

“Yes. That’s a mana nullification characteristic. That calculation speed makes no sense for an E grade.”

“It’s impossible for an intelligence level E.”

At that opinion, one of the cadets folded his arms and shook his head.

“No.”

Then he looked at Kang Seo-jun with admiring eyes and said.

“Maybe that’s the result of effort.”

“Ha?”

“What?”

The surrounding attention was focused on the cadet talking about his efforts.

“His willpower is grade A+. Moreover, in the morning class, the professor gave him great recognition for the mana calculation formula.”

“Well, then it couldn’t have been!?”

“I may have memorized all the magic patterns with great effort…!”

“Yeah, like that!”

“How much effort do I have to put in!?”

“I can’t even imagine…!”

One cadet said with a still unconvinced look on his face.

“Well, then magic power…!? Dispel also has to have magic power first of all!”

“Dispelling, which can understand and destroy a spell, doesn’t require that much mana.”

It is the same principle that it takes a lot of paint to draw a beautiful picture, but it only takes one stroke to ruin the picture.

“The important thing is the speed of calculating the opponent’s magic. The faster the speed, the easier it is to interrupt the magician’s magic with only a small amount of magical energy.”

“Huh, huh!”

“Well, then really!?”

“Ah, no! Then what about that fast movement!? That’s definitely a light magic!”

“I don’t know that either!”

“Anyway, it’s amazing!”

-Cough! Cough!

Park Shin-hoo gritted his teeth and glared at Kang Seo-jun, who was visible beyond the noisy chatter of the cadets.

‘Was he hiding that number?… !’

Besides.

‘It’s the same as acting, I’m dying…’ .’

If he only used half of the physical ability he showed earlier, he would be able to kill a wizard like that with his bare hands.

But what does that weird movement you just showed mean?

‘Haste.’

The movement seen when quickly closing the distance with Cha Hyeon-ho.

It was clearly Haste.

Applying a lightweight magic to one’s body to accelerate movement.

‘An arrogant guy who is always busy hiding his power… ! Someday, I will reveal everything you are hiding… !’

All the facts that no one would believe even if I told them now!

For him, he had to work harder to gain spirit response.

Spirit magic borrows the power of spirits and is no different from magic in which the magic does not exist, so Park Shin-hoo thought that no matter how good Kang Seo-jun was, he would not be able to nullify the spirit sensitivity.

Kang Seo-jun would gain spirit sensitivity more quickly.

-Whoop. Huh.

Kang Seo-jun lifted himself up with difficulty, holding his cane on the ground.

-Ssam fluid. Sassy liquid.

It is not easy to control your breathing due to the swollen airways.

‘I swung too hastily in the first move….’

The cards he prepared to win today’s sparring were Dispel and Haste, as already mentioned by the visitors.

Originally, Dispel is a high-difficulty magic that is as difficult as taking over a math problem that someone else had solved and continuing to solve it.

However, for Kang Seo-jun, who has an eye of providence, there was no need for such a cumbersome process.

After the mana technique has been interpreted, all you have to do is interfere with the mana and distort her circuit.

It was as easy as kicking down an elaborate sand castle.

In other words, as long as Kang Seo-jun has the Eye of Providence, the opponent’s magic will be sealed.

However, because mana is consumed to interpret the cast magic, it is still best to deal with a C+ grade wizard.

Anyway, if you first seal the wizard’s greatest strength, magic, the next step is simple.

Most wizards at the academy have powerful herbal skills, but their other abilities are almost insignificant.

Your body and athletic ability will not be much different from that of an ordinary person.

On the other hand, thanks to Kang Seo-jun’s hard work over the past two weeks.

[Haste Lv. Normal]

Last night, all I had to do was purchase a Haste spell book from the dimension store and memorize it on a magic wand.

-Whoop. Huh.

‘It ends with the next one shot.’

Kang Seo-Jun adjusted his magic wand and glared at his opponent.

“Hee…! Heehee…!”

Tonight. Cha Hyun-ho’s dream was sure to be wild.
