Academy’s Power Master

Melodin, Shan, Layla (1)

“Then you’re saying that even if I break expensive mana stones, I can only use mana for 3-5 minutes at most?”

“Yeah, if you use a stronger attack faster and more often than before, it could be over in a minute.”

….that really sounds like premature ejaculation.

Article.

That’s a good word.

Those who deal with mana and have a body that has reached the extreme of a human.

The fact that I entered their state, my martial arts (SS) and martial arts (SS), and the strength, agility, and stamina of SSS-level potential are added, even if I fight with a knight of the same class, I will never lose.

‘But that’s three to five minutes. It doesn’t matter if it’s one minute at the earliest.’

A sigh came out.

Restrictions.

Because the heavy load was on my shoulders and shackled my limbs.

“Yeah, three-minute curry bastard Heize.”

“…don’t make fun of me. I’m a little upset right now.”

“Isn’t that the evolution of the generals? You mean that you can’t collect even a single mana, and now you can spend up to 5 minutes and at least 1 minute from what you couldn’t handle, right?”

That’s but….

Although he shook his head at the consolation that was not the same as Walpurgis’ comfort, the chronic problem did not change and the prerequisites were too harsh.

“Even that short amount of time can only be used by breaking the Manastone, but a little… isn’t it? A commoner who has to worry about tuition right now breaks Mana Stones in every battle. Instead of dying from enemy attacks, I think I will die from debt.”

hearthstone.

You have to fight by crushing a manastone the size of a fist.

If the battle is long, you will have to break two or three instead of one.

‘At this point, the debt is more frightening than the enemy’s attack.’

It was the same on Earth, but debt was really scary.

Student loans, home loans, livelihood loans, and more.

In the midst of the ever-increasing debt and interest, it was only for a moment that it was reduced to a machine that made money.

“don’t worry. For now, I only see the possibilities. You can’t live by breaking the magic stone forever, Heize, don’t you want to live with curry for 3 minutes?”

“…that’s right.”

I don’t like the term three-minute curry, but he’s right.

Because I couldn’t live with the time limit of 3 minutes by breaking only magic stones forever.

“Keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to erase the ‘constraints’ placed on you. Until then, you’re just finding ways to use your mana.”

“The magic stone is one of the ways in the end, not the only one.”

“It’s like that. Don’t worry. It didn’t start well, but we’re pretty good now, right?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty good when you put it between the researcher and the test subject.”

“…the horse seems to have some thorns on it?”

“It’s about the mood.”

Breaking magic stones is one of the ways.

After thinking that far, I shook my head.

“Are you giving me the Manastone to destroy?”

“I can’t give you a lot… well.”

tuk-

Plain leather pockets.

However, it was not difficult to infer what was in it from the weight and flow of the conversation so far.

“It’s small…but quite a lot.”

“It’s the lowest level and the lower level magic stones. The one you just broke is an intermediate manastone. Actually, considering what is properly called a magic stone from an intermediate level… The things I gave you are terrific, terrific.”

He shrugged his shoulders, but considering the value of the intermediate manastones, it was clear that the lowest level and lower level manastones in front of him would be daunting.

“thank you. I can use it a few times during battle.”

“I will try to find another way as soon as possible. Don’t use too much magic stones.”

“I will only use it where I need it.”

“An honor duel?”

“…you knew.”

Only a day had passed, but it seemed that Walpurgis had already heard the news of an honorary duel with Duke Berry.

But seeing her not worried at all, I smiled and bowed my head.

“I’ll only use a few magic stones.”

“Yes, why are you asking me for permission? go back. I am a busy person.”

“Yes, I will come right away when you call.”

“…don’t lose. I’m going to go see it too.”

“Never lose. If you leave the academy, you can’t come to see Walpurgis-sama, right?”

“….What is he saying now!”

can’t see

can’t come to see you

At that, Walpurgis blushed and shouted.

His shoulders shrugged, and his two well-dried fists trembled.

I could barely feel how embarrassed I was, so I answered with a small smile.

“How bad is the defense of the academy? It would be impossible to get in from the outside unless it was an agent dispatched by a large group.”

“I know. I can go out! No, why are you talking like you’re losing in the first place?”

“I don’t lose.”

“Don’t give up! I’ll turn it into a real test subject!”

“…and one more reason why you should never lose.”

“Hey, if you know, get out.”

I gave my advice to Walpurgis, who turned his head and gave a blunt congratulatory message and smoked a pipe cigarette in his mouth.

“If you smoke, your lungs will rot.”

“…not cigarettes!”

“No. Then I will go.”

bump-

I sprinted towards the dormitory on the way out of the health room, fearing that the screaming Walpurgis would chase after them.

After leaving the main building through the dark hallway, I quickly passed the dark forest road.

It was one day after Duke Berry’s request for an honorable duel.

*

lumpy-

Where Heize left.

With the pipe in his mouth, Walpurgis smoked a cigarette.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t an ordinary cigarette.

“Heh, it’s burning expensive manacho, but comparing it to a low-level thing like a cigarette. Uh- it’s stressful.”

One of the few long-lived hobbies: smoking manacho.

Rarely grown and classified as a medicinal herb, manacho is mainly used to make items such as mana potions.

Of course, as it is the main ingredient for expensive potions, the price is not cheap, but for Walpurgis, it was just enough to be used as a luxury item.

In addition, although dried manacho is ground finely, the pipe type, which is not a cigarette type, is not easily enjoyed by the nobles.

The reason was simple.

“Hmm, the pipe has already reached the end of its life.”

Because a pipe that can withstand manacho is precious, and unlike its precious price, it cannot be used for long.

Of course, like Walpurgis, who also loves cigarette-type manacho cigarettes, she immediately took a cigarette out of her arms and jumped up from her seat.

“…Oh, maybe this will help Hayes.”

Manacho.

As its name suggests, it is a term used to refer to medicinal herbs that contain mana.

When manacho is burned or boiled to extract the extract, mana is contained in it.

In other words, if you smoke manacho for a long time in the form of a cigarette or drink a lot of mana potions made from the extract of manacho, you will naturally accumulate mana.

“Well, if you want to pour the poison to the point where it is full, it may not be enough to burn manacho from all over the continent, not the entire empire.”

Of course, I didn’t mean to build mana through manacho cigarettes.

But what if you can use mana temporarily by breaking mana stones, just as you can use mana temporarily by burning mana seconds, even in a very small amount or in a small amount?

“…it might be worth a try. Best of all, manacho cigarettes are not toxic and not addictive enough that even children can smoke.”

Walpurgis, who came up with a new method following manastone breaking, went to the lab, stating that he was still himself.

“Tsuk, manacho cigarettes have crossed the water for a while.”

However, the fact that he had to stop smoking, which was a hobby, in order to use it for research caught Walpurgis’ ankles-

“It doesn’t matter. Nothing is more important than research.”

Hobbies can’t beat your main job.

In the first place, Walpurgis burned manacho cigarettes, which were not just cigarettes.

Because I just wanted the coolness of blue smoke when I burned manacho to soothe the indelible boredom.

Tak Tak-

Walpurgis disappeared, holding in his hand the cigarette he had taken out because of the broken pipe and burnt manacho in the pipe tobacco.

Ahead of a new study, Walpurgis was no different than a five-year-old child unpacking a gift given to him on a birthday or Christmas day.

Well, if you look at the appearance from the beginning, he was a kid, so it wouldn’t be much different.

*

Time passed as fast as the wind.

One day, two days, three days, four days-

Finally, the day before the long-awaited glorious duel came.

However, despite the honor duel the next day, my routine did not change much.

“Manaran-”

The morning class is an introduction to Mana Science by Professor Belmont.

“The sword is slow. Keep your feet forward and your body slightly bent.”

Afternoon classes are taught by Professor Belmont.

Whoo-hook- Whoo-wook-

“A million and twenty one! One million twenty-two-”

“…Professor, I’ve made ten right now.”

“Originally, do it like this! One million twenty-three!”

Finally, after school, an exciting hell PT session with Professor Departe.

This cycle has never been broken.

Even though it was only a week or so, I was satisfied with the fact that I kept the set routine.

“Hey, here’s a towel.”

“Thank you, Natasha.”

We did PT together, but Natasha who finished first brought me a clean towel.

Natasha held out her hand as she saw me wiping away the sweat with a clean towel.

“yes! Give me the used towel!”

“I don’t even have to do that…thank you.”

Looking at her red face, it must have been a difficult time for Natasha as well.

When Natasha said that she would bring towels and even bring used towels to the laundry room, I did not refuse and handed over the towels.

There were other people waiting for me except for Natasha, who hugged the towel tightly as if it were a treasure.

“There is also water here.”

“Bella, thank you too. It would be difficult though…”

“There is nothing we can do to get good seeds.”

“…Puuo!”

Bella.

Bella du Walpurgis to be exact.

She was still chasing my seeds by my side.

Luckily, Bella didn’t get hit by the water because she turned her head before spraying.

but-

“…Natasha, are you okay? I’m sorry, all of a sudden Bella said something strange-“

“Hey…ah! It’s okay….it’s okay! I…I’ll wash up quickly!”

Natasha, who was next to me, only got the water I was drinking.

Natasha, who sat on the floor as if collapsing with a groan as she groaned as she was afraid to grab her shoulders with a worried face that today’s workout was particularly difficult, got up and ran to somewhere.

“Hmm, it was very difficult. But isn’t that direction the changing room, not the shower room?”

“From what I’ve seen, there must be extra clothes, and I think they’re just going to change into them.”

“Well, maybe you don’t like washing in the public shower in the weight room.”

“…I don’t think that’s the only reason.”

Natasha’s red face, who was passing her by and said ‘Thank you, Bella’ with a mouth shape, was a clear Bella.

In addition, as she headed to the dressing room, Bella saw her muttering ‘Storage, storage, storage-‘, but she wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut.

“Tomorrow is finally the day of the honor duel.”

“right. I don’t want to lose either, but I’m a little nervous.”

Because the next day was an honor duel, he didn’t want to confuse Heize.

Anyway, this was the first time for Heize, who had only competed in battle, a real duel or battle.

That’s why the way he smiled with his fists clenched, saying he was nervous, had a very subtle charm.

“…Hmm, it’s not a good look, but I like that look.”

“If you like it more, do you wake up one day with your arms and legs tied to the bed?”

“I can do that if you want.”

“…Sorry, I was wrong.”

I mean, if you do it for some reason, you’ll really do it.

Heize, whose pores were puffy, got up from her seat, scratching her sweaty hair as she watched the purple eyes twinkling with a mysterious smile.

“Well, tomorrow I will take care of myself and win.”

bum bum-

Bella burst out laughing as she watched Heize’s back as she left her personal PT room and headed to the shower room.

“I think it would be worth trying even if the Heize of today, not the Heize of tomorrow.”

“Heh heh, his body is a masterpiece so hard to believe that it was made in just a week.”

“I think so. The best work was created in a short period of time by the meeting of excellent gemstones and outstanding sculptors.”

Bella and Depart.

The two smiled happily as they looked at Heize’s sweaty body as she walked to the shower room.

It was because the fine muscles filled with sweat seemed to wriggle at any moment as the inside was clearly visible from the sweat.

“I am looking forward to tomorrow.”

“So do I.”

Duke Berry.

Although he was a magician with enough talent, Bella never thought that Heize would lose.

Of course, it was the same for Departe Kane and Natasha, who in the dressing room casts protection, freeze, and maintenance magic on clothes that had been splashed by Haze.

So the last night was over, and the day of the honorary duel dawned.
