Beat the Boss Mob

7 – New Instructor

I am a hero, and my opponent is an instructor. But I wasn’t careless.

I was nervous. Because he said he was a very strong warrior in his own world.

He did not let go of his mind no matter how confident he was in a magical confrontation.

“Shall we begin?”

When the confrontation began, Enlil immediately gathered mana and aimed at Leon’s shoulder.

I thought it would be a pretty tough fight. So, I prepared for the next attack.

Pass!―

‘… Uh?’

The moment his own mana collided with Leon’s mana, until it was crumbled without a trace!

‘What is this?’

I hurriedly turned the mana I was preparing for an attack toward defense.

But even that effort was useless in front of an instructor named Leon.

Kwajik!―

Even the mana used for defense was pulverized and scattered in a single blow.

The strong defense wall of mana has collapsed in vain.

The defenseless body reported the shock as pain.

“What?!”

It wasn’t to the point of stinging. This feeling is like being stabbed by a knife.

Even though not even a single drop of blood came out, it was as if they had been dug with a blade.

I never imagined it would be such powerful mana.

If it wasn’t for sparring, if this was a real fight, he would have been aiming for the heart.

Then, even if he didn’t die, he would have been so shocked that he couldn’t move for a moment.

‘How could you use such intense mana? This instructor, this person named Leone is what the heck.’

I sat down in my seat and slowly erased the mana applied to my body.

It has a creepy and chilling aura that makes your spine chill.

At the same time, mana with a really great density, enough to excite admiration.

It was a surprise. The fact that such a person came as an instructor.

And it was regrettable. The reality that such a person is not a hero.

Rion. If that instructor in front of you was a person from the continent.

If you had come to this academy as a warrior, not as an instructor.

It’s not like he’s always saved by that existence.

It could have been a sharp sword that could cut through that being!

“I lost. Instructor….”

f*ck!―

‘Huh?’

For a moment, I thought I was wrong. Because it was so sudden.

But I soon realized that what I saw in my eyes was the real thing.

“What, what are you doing now?!”

This was a fair fight. Only skill was the difference between winning and losing.

The loser in that confrontation was only lacking in themselves.

I just needed to be more diligent. There was absolutely nothing to be so emotional about!

“Ah, ah….”

The cadet who used violence against Leon was clearly very surprised.

An expression of not knowing why he did this.

But that’s it, and the fist that has already moved can’t be helped.

Rion’s head turned to the side as much as possible after receiving an unexpected blow.

Even though he was a candidate for a hero, an academy cadet assaulted the instructor.

A person who has no problems with that, a person who just showed his passion and showed his skills.

It was a serious matter to use violence for no real reason.

“Instructor? Are you okay?”

“Oops, sorry!! I-I did this….”

Enlil hurriedly approached and the cadet unknowingly punched.

I will be angry. Because the candidate for the hero used violence recklessly.

You will be disappointed. If I had treated the instructor this badly, I wouldn’t have come in.

However, Rion’s reaction overturned everyone’s expectations once again.

“Enlil. During the mana battle just now, how did you feel?”

“Eh, yes?”

“The moment my mana and your mana collide. It was about how it felt.”

As if he didn’t even care about being hit suddenly.

Rion was just asking about the result of the confrontation.

“Ah, that….”

Leaving behind the confusion that had been messing around in my head.

Enlil slowly unfolded the impressions he had had from a while ago.

“… It was different from me.”

“More precisely.”

“If my mana was just flowing water, the instructor’s mana… Like….”

“Did you feel extremely refined?”

Then Enlil said, ‘Exactly! That’s how it felt!’

The amount of mana was the same. I could feel it the moment I hit it.

But everything else was different. No, it wasn’t on another level.

Overwhelmingly superior, incomparably pure mana.

The moment we met, it was already over. It wasn’t something that could be done.

Not only Enlil himself, but also famous wizards and outstanding knights.

“Starting tomorrow, I will tell you about having that very mana. It’s the way it was used where I lived. Refining mana to the limit and storing it. It might be useless in a place where mana is overflowing like this, but in a place where mana is not enough, it will be of great help.”

And since it was her first meeting with Leone, he concluded by saying, “Let’s stop here for today.”

Thanks to that, the flustered cadet apologized once again, but-

“My fists are spicy. Do the same for the Witchbeast later.”

“Ah… Oh, I see! I’m sorry, Instructor!”

Leon disappears first, and others rush to the cadet’s side.

I don’t know what she did all of a sudden, how surprised she is.

“I’m sorry. Why did I suddenly have such extreme anger? .”

Leaving the perplexed cadet behind, Enlil looked in the direction Leon had disappeared.

‘Strong. But I’m not an arrogant person.’

Once again, the thought becomes stronger. If that person had been a hero, would it have been a little different?

It was an overwhelming skill that even Enlil himself had never experienced before.

If he can really run away from mana, he will be able to show a different appearance in the tower.

‘It’s different from him. With that arrogant guy who treats humans like toys.’

I decided. Leon, I will learn hard and learn from that instructor.

So when I climbed the tower again. When you stand in front of the existence that is trying to destroy the world.

I’ll give you a blow that’s different from before, full of anticipation!

‘If you do even a big wound like that, it will give the next hero an advantage. And maybe the angry guy… At last, he might kill me.’

Of course, I hate dying. Death is inevitably frightening.

But if that’s your duty as a hero. If it is an unavoidable destiny.

Enlil was willing to do the duty, ready to accept the fate.

Tadadak―

The leisurely gait is getting faster and faster.

Rion left the training ground at a level that was close to running.

“Heo Eok!”

I let out a sigh of relief as soon as I entered the corner.

‘f*ck. That would have been really f*cked up.’

I was mistaken. Since there is a restriction on the power, I wondered if it would be possible to do it properly.

If you keep watching for nothing and get pushed back or lose, you might have to dig a hole.

So I pulled out the mana I gathered through the mana training method yesterday and used it.

‘Why does the body’s power jump out at that timing? You really almost got caught.’

It was blurry, but it was only for a moment, but my real strength came out.

It was fortunate that Enlil’s attention was focused on Mana, who moved first.

If it wasn’t for that, she would have read the signs of that power….

‘Because a cadet suddenly intervened and hit me. So I’m glad she got all the attention.’

But the female cadet asked why did she hit me all of a sudden?

Hidden personality flaws Were you a bully? Doesn’t that seem like it?

Whatever she was, in the end, she lived thanks to that cadet.

If we meet later, let’s buy him a meal.

Thinking so, Leone wiggled her hands.

‘As expected.’

Yes. As expected, Enlil’s ability to manage mana was a problem caused by the world.

This world is not a game, it is a real world. There is no user to present a new answer.

Because of this, everyone, including Enlil, does not know how to practice mana.

As a result, I was helplessly defeated in the previous mana battle.

‘The tower is different. I don’t know what it’s like outside the tower, but inside it’s a completely different world. Unlike the world where mana overflows indefinitely, you may not know the inside of the tower at first, but mana decreases as time goes on. No… To be more precise, should I say that the more you use it, the more poisonous it becomes?’

A place like a time bomb that exists to destroy the world.

A place where monsters who want to devour the world are born and raised.

The mana that exists in such a place cannot be pure forever.

The nature has changed. It will be similar at first, but over time, it will adversely affect the body.

Perhaps all the warriors up until now have died without being able to come for that reason.

If that wasn’t the case, it might have been because something else was far less than Enlil.

For that very reason, Rion cherishes Enlil even more.

Even though it was such a tower, how many times did you break through and stand in front of me?

Tolerance, or to have a special innate ability.

‘But there will be a limit to that later.’

That’s why mana training is even more necessary.

You should be able to extract and use only what you need from the special mana inside the tower.

Only then will we gain the glory of defeating the owner of the tower in battle.

The seeds were also sown. Now that I think about it, it was fortunate that Enlil had appeared.

In the meantime, there was an unfortunate incident where a very small amount of the body’s power leaked out without realizing it.

Fortunately, one of the students covered everything with a punch.

‘Hmm. I really should buy him a meal.’

It was the moment when the candidate for bravery suddenly owed a meal to the boss mob.
