Avoid Former Co-Workers

147 – 147. Road School War of Power (4)

‘You cut off the branches of that old tree with just one arm…?’

When I got hit, it was so hard that I had to hit it dozens of times with a knife… No, an axe.

By the way, are you going to break it?

What kind of magic did you use? Okay. That man was actually from Lebrand Academy as well.

If being ranked 11th in E rank is a lie, isn’t it possible? After all, that person must be someone who is talented in magic.

Lana thought so and bit her lip.

But Junon is slowly breaking her stereotypes.

“Just remember three things. That’s how you can readmit to Levant Academy.”

“What…?”

“First. Don’t be rash and always be vigilant.”

At that moment, Stump’s other whip came flying.

Junon picked Lana up and carried her behind her, stretching her distance.

The branch whip that flew in front of their eyes did not reach the two of them. It’s a perfect distance calculation.

“Second. Find out where the target’s weakness is,”

Quang!

“Judge!”

Even the other branch whip was shattered in front of my eyes, and this time the result of the previous battle was reproduced in front of my eyes. Looking at the broken interior, there were areas filled with wood while others were empty.

Junon had accurately measured that place and hit it. By spotting her weakness.

She was bewildered, wondering if she had used magic, but whatever it was, the two whips she was holding like both arms immediately shattered.

What if? A state in which the opponent’s only means of attack, which anyone can easily predict, has disappeared.

This gap is clearly the timing for an attack.

Junon had already run away.

‘The torso is empty…’

It’s a chance. There’s a knife or whatever, you just have to pour a lot of energy into it.

As soon as he had that thought, Stump chewed on the two branches right next to him, absorbed them, and restored his arm.

The monster called Stump seems to have the power to regenerate by eating trees.

‘But… Wouldn’t it be okay to destroy it like before?’

However, as if denying Lana’s opinion, Junon waited one more time and, rather than breaking Stump’s arms, approached him while avoiding them.

“Nonsense… How are you going to deal with it without breaking it…!”

Obviously out of range. It was a much easier distance for Stump’s attack to hit Junon.

Nevertheless, Junon continues to close his distance. It was a risk-taking evasion that made the onlookers feel chills.

By the way, if you look at it from a distance, you can see something strange.

‘Because I’m rather digging close… My movements are duller?’

It sounds like it blows, but only when it touches the middle or tip of the eggplant whip is it effective.

It meant that Stump wasn’t able to attack directly, even though Junon would be within range and easier to hit.

Why does the attack look so heavy and slow?

Around the time I heard such a question. Lana was finally able to find the answer to that question.

“The color of the torso and… Arms are different…?”

When he found the answer, Junon had already dug into Stump’s torso.

I finally break the arms that I didn’t break before.

Stump can’t do anything. If an arm is broken, in order to regenerate it, it must chew on a branch from another tree and attach it from the arm.

But is there really a human who can keep an eye on it?

Immediately, the core of the old tree was shattered by a punch loaded with magical energy, and returned to a single piece of firewood.

Junon, who returned after easily handling the stump, spit out a word to Lana.

“Third, be patient until you check all of your opponent’s cards. If you keep these three, you will be able to re-enter the school.”

A twig falls from his hand. He gave it to Lana to see.

It wasn’t what Stump had. It belonged to another tree that was nearby.

This is a branch of a sharp thorn tree.

‘It doesn’t have the power to regenerate an arm…’

You mean you borrowed the strength and properties of a specific tree?

‘Then, if Stump had borrowed the power of this tree, the moment he burrowed into his bosom…’

Maybe he was stabbed by a thorn and got hit the other way.

If she had been in the same situation, she would have already stopped breathing because of her mistake of breaking the two whips in front of her eyes.

If this is the reason why he did not take any attack until he deliberately approached, how far did this man look ahead?

There is no way to accept this outcome other than the fact that he has calculated and moved everything in that short amount of time.

Still, the really strange thing is that he didn’t even use any magic.

I figured out and calculated the enemy information in my head, and simply moved my body to defeat a stump that was quite infamous even in this area. Single.

‘Where do you look at this, it’s E rank…?’

Lana raises her head once more to see him in her eyes. No matter how you look at it, he wasn’t E rank.

Junon gives a word to Lana, who opens her mouth while holding a thorn tree.

“I’m a penny who doesn’t know how to use a single spell. Maybe I’m behind you in magic. But, can I catch you too?”

I didn’t have to say more. He wants to say this

You said you can do it like me.

“…Really?”

“Hmm?”

“Really, can I be like you?”

Junon sighed heavily, saying “Hmm,” And didn’t give a quick answer.

“Of course not.”

“…Yes?”

However, the answer that came at the end of the time of contemplation was also not very positive.

***

No matter what, I decided that a realistic answer would be good for Lana’s question. No matter how deeply you try to find the answer, there is no way.

Yes, that will be the case.

‘It’s no use trying to apply what I’ve trained my way to you.’

It’s common sense.

There is a decisive difference between men and women, as well as differences in constitution, mana, height, and weight.

Unless there is some way for two people to become exactly the same, Lana and I cannot be the same person. It was natural.

By the way, why is he making such a depressed face?

‘I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?’

Though I think about it, I don’t think I did anything wrong.

Then Lana immediately shouts.

“Chi…! After all, it’s the same!”

“Uh, uh uh? Hey… Lana?”

Why is he crying? Driving me crazy!

“Even in their eyes, after all, I look like a b*tch who can’t re-enter the academy! Then why are you giving me such advice?!”

“No, that’s…”

“Okay, I’m well aware of my topic! I’ll stay calm and not show off. Okay?!”

Like that, Lana sniffed and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

…No, I didn’t say anything wrong. I just said no to no, so why are you like that?

I scratched the back of my head and tried to persuade Lana.

“Wow…”

“Don’t talk to me!”

…Whoa. I think this is completely blown out.

What kind of situation is this when you have to teach at least one person to accumulate even a little points in a power battle?

At least, Lana seemed to be the most motivated in the classroom, so she came to help.

But, if he even gives up, there really is no answer! If you don’t get even a little bit of points here, you’ll go directly to class E, you have to show that you taught even one person properly! I don’t want to be in the same class as those aristocrats!

…What can I do?

“Ah, is it all over? It looks like they’re coming together.”

“Uh… That’s true…”

“Something didn’t work out or something… See?”

Adele glanced at the sobbing Lana and noticed that her ending wasn’t particularly good.

Then he comes to me and whispers quietly.

“I’ll have a good talk. Could you go first so we can talk?”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. That’s why I came.”

So you came? Come to think of it, I have no idea why Adele came all the way here.

“Go ahead. Hurry up.”

“Uh, uh uh. Yeah…”

I don’t know why Adele went this far, but there’s nothing I can do about it. For now, I have no choice but to trust Adele to appease Lana.

I hope the story goes well.

I ran ahead in the direction of the road school first so that the two could talk comfortably.

Ten minutes later. I arrived at the road school right away.

By the way, the atmosphere here is also very uncomfortable.

─Ahhh…

Why does it sound sick? Then who is making this sick sound?

At first glance, this is not a normal situation. I ran straight to the source of this clamor.

‘This is…’

Kiyiing-!

A flow of magical power unfolded along with a crushing sound that rang in the ears. A power confined only to attacks and spells with no Vetrine lines.

You can understand this without digging into the magic formula. Because such power only exists as telekinesis.

“What are you doing now?”

However, it is not surprising that the target of this telekinesis is designated as a childish student.

The person who heard the voice and turned his head was the professor who was grabbed by the neck earlier.

“What is it? You mentioned the power war. So, as a professor, you are teaching students? Classes, lectures. What do I have to say in these words to make them understand?”

This son of a b*tch.

Where are you teaching this?

It’s not like teaching. What that crazy old man is doing is just a one-sided assault that makes everyone unable to do anything by being crushed to the ground.

***

After Junon left, Adele was left alone with Lana.

The whimpering did not stop. We don’t know what happened at the place where Junon went to rescue Lana, but she has to solve this problem.

Because Adele was an auditor in charge of one class of Sirach Road School at Levant Academy for power warfare.

“Do you mind if I ask why you came here alone?”

“…”

Lana turns her head around and ignores her words. Now, even if she brought up a story related to the power war, people wouldn’t be embarrassed.

Still, I thought I knew what Lana was trying to do.

‘Sword… You’ve come to catch the beast by yourself.’

Road School usually has people who have been expelled from Levant Academy or have dropped out.

For the reason that I want to enroll in magic even here.

Lana is probably no different, but the situation at Sirach Road School is far worse than the other three.

Not only the backwater area of Shirah, inconvenient transportation, and outdated facilities, nothing looks good.

It would be reckless to run out alone to catch a demon in a place like that. To the extent of life.

Adele was so convinced.

“Did she resent herself?”

She must have done this out of disdain for herself.
