Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

17 – Magic Practice (3)

The Empire’s most sophisticated arena, the ‘Colosseum of Meeting’, was located in the center of the academy.

A structure in which a total of four floors of arches, complicated stairs and passages are connected like a maze. Inside the thick walls of the Colosseum are inscribed with complex magic formulas.

As befits a space where the best talents fight, there is a defensive magic circle that is similar in strength to the outer wall of the imperial family.

How strong is its strength, the last time the bricks of this Colosseum got even a small scratch was about 300 years ago, when ‘Archmage Delrin’ fought the ‘Witch of Destruction’.

“There is something like that inside the wall. I don’t really feel anything.”

“Does Ruid believe in the legend of Delrin?”

“Yes. Believe.”

There was nothing to believe or not to believe. The character ‘Archmage Delrin’ was the most important character in the play.

Hersy said playfully.

“As expected, Delrin’s fairy.”

“I told you not to do that with fairies?”

“Ahahahaha, sorry.”

Ruid headed to the waiting room with Hercy. She was there for the upcoming demonstration sparring. There will be Amelia in it.

I moved several times along the aisles of the complex Colosseum. Hersy was familiar, so I went around looking for him. He asked out of curiosity, and Hercy replied:

“I memorized all the maps of the Colosseum because I was personally interested in them.”

‘Is there anyone who memorizes maps for fun?’

Ruid sometimes thought that the real genius might be Hercy. Arriving at the waiting room, Ruid opened the door earlier.

The Colosseum was originally a place where gladiators fought. Most of the waiting rooms belonged to the lowly, but most of the academies belonged to the nobility.

The waiting room was very spacious and comfortable. In the middle was Amelia, arms folded.

Amelia, who was approaching with strides as if angry, saw Hercy, bowed briefly with her kind smile, then glared at Louis.

“Louis, where were you yesterday?”

“Yesterday?”

Ruid briefly remembered yesterday. Hersey advised.

“You slept on the straw yesterday because you wanted to watch horses.”

“Ah. Straw. I slept there.”

I spend most of my time at Delrin’s lake, but I wasn’t always there. Ruid also had times when he was bored.

“Why sleep on straw… The one whose mansion is intact.”

Amelia muttered with a sigh. She was the one who had been wandering around looking for her louie yesterday.

‘What’s going on?’

Amelia’s attitude was a little different from usual.

“Louid. Did you hear the story properly?”

“Oh. I was told to fight against my sister.”

Amelia held Louise’s hand. And she said, straining her eyes.

“I can’t fight you.”

“… Huh?”

“My sword exists for you. Even if it’s sparring, I can’t point my sword at you even for a second.”

Amelia, who said that, was determined. Hersey was impressed.

‘This is also a chivalry… ! That’s what honor is.’

I made a note inside. I’m going to use it on Ruid later. Hercy was a style that was greatly influenced by the people around her.

“But at this rate, there will be gossip. I don’t care, but I’d be very upset if someone told me about your backstory.”

Amelia said earnestly and gestured behind her.

“So I prepared.”

“?”

Louise blinked her eyes.

Because the fight scene between Ruid and Amelia in the original novel was portrayed quite impactfully. She never imagined that Amelia would turn out like this.

‘Amelia then and now is different… ? Maybe it’s because of me… ?’

Ruid didn’t really do anything about that.

Before entering the academy, I only slept for a year. And she was dumbfounded by the ‘thing’ that soon appeared.

Thump, thump.

The waiting room rings.

That means the opponent is big.

Charreuk.

Huge chains were wrapped around his neck and arms. Amelia patted ‘it’ on her arm with a bright smile.

Whoa!

Hercy’s expression hardened as she laughed at the ferocious cry and the warm atmosphere.

‘…… White Beowulf.’

A huge bear with white fur.

It belongs to the highest rank among monsters, and its nickname is ‘monster of monsters.’

It was here.

‘Cha, it would be much better for Amelia-sama to step in!’

Hersy had no choice but to shout to herself.

“It’s a pretty good opponent for Ruid’s play.”

Amelia smiled proudly.

**

Beowulf’s habitat was the northernmost tip. It is sometimes present in cold regions, but basically it is a monster that is famous only for its name and is not easily seen.

However, in Windsor, located in the north, it was also a fairly common monster.

Amelia brought it because she wanted to smell the scent of the north from time to time. I didn’t know I was going to write it like this.

So of course.

-Quooooo!

“Be, Beowulf.”

“Really, that… ?”

“Then it must be fake!”

It was a monster that the Imperial Academy students had never seen before.

“That’s why, the demonstration match this time…… It was decided by a confrontation between student Louis Christopher and White Beowulf.”

The students who were disappointed because of Amelia, the swordswoman, and her declaration that she would not engage in sparring, became dumb with honey.

Of course, Amelia is stronger than Beowulf. However, humans could never ignore the point that comes from visual effects.

Amelia was an elegant girl. The pressure from Beowulf was greater than from the blonde girl.

Moreover, compared to Ruid, who was already small, the difference was even more noticeable.

An earthquake was happening in Hercy’s pupil.

“Okay… Should I?”

Amelia, who was next to her, said to Hercy with her puzzled eyes.

“Is something wrong?”

“The problem is…… “

‘Of course I do!’

But I couldn’t bear to say that to Amelia. Hersey sighed and said.

“No. No matter how Ruid is, the legendary monster White Beowulf is a bit… Wouldn’t it be?”

“Hmm? A legendary monster?”

“… It is called the highest of all monsters.”

Amelia looked at Hercy through the clear walls.

“That’s not true. Miss Hersey. Beowulf is a common monster in the North. I don’t know why there are such rumors.”

“Yes, yes?”

Hercy was a little taken aback. Yes, it was White Beowulf. Called the king of monsters. A monster like that, a normal monster?

“It is not an exaggeration to say that we are playmates. In fact, when Ruid is bored, he often comes to play with White Beowulf.”

‘Wee, Windsor is… ‘

I knew it was great, but I couldn’t help but be astonished every time I heard the truth.

“Well, it’s true that I used that perception.”

“Usage… ?”

“If I skipped sparring at all, I would get gossip about it. Starting with the fact that Ruid’s magic ability was actually a bluff… , So, as a way to put down rumors, White Beowulf is good value for money.”

Yes. Amelia didn’t put Ruid and Beowulf together without thinking. It was the best choice for her sister. Even from Ruid’s point of view, Beowulf is a really insignificant monster.

Hersy opened his eyes like that. He was so flustered that he didn’t even think about that part.

‘…… What if it was me?’

If she was Louis de’s older sister, what method would she use?

There’s no way to know since I haven’t been in that situation, but I think she just chose to avoid sparring or lose.

‘As expected, it’s different. Windsor.’

Hercy lowered his head.

Once again, I thought that being with a genius is not an easy path.

Hercy acutely felt his limitations and lack of ability.

However, he quickly raised his head.

‘I have to work harder!’

“By the way, I’m curious. What kind of magic will Ruid use?”

Said Amelia.

“I am also curious. Everyone is probably looking forward to it. What amazing magic Ruid will show. Does Amelia-sama have any expectations?”

It was Amelia that she saw most often and for a long time by her side. Hersy asked expectantly.

Amelia shook her head.

“Okay. I’ve never seen Ruid use the same spell twice. So, I can’t predict either.”

“Yes?!”

Amelia looked at Louis happily.

“Ruid’s magic is creative.”

**

‘At any time…… It’s scary, but it’s cute.’

Ruid’s review of White Beowulf was exactly that.

A large star-shaped mark on his chest. A scar on the right eye, the symbol of bear monsters.

Above all, he is a huge figure who can only see his face when he lifts his head all the way. However, the fluffy hair and cute black nose make me want to stroke something.

-Quooooo!

Beowulf howled to his heart’s content, jingling his chains, and his eyes were stained with madness as if he was mad to tear humans apart.

“Sir, give me a signal and I will break the chain.”

There was nothing to hesitate about. It’s because he’s a friend I see often. Louise nodded her head.

-Cre.

Whenever Beowulf howled as if he was going to run at any moment, he hovered around Ruid to keep him in check.

Knowing instinctively. What if you run straight away?

Ruid was troubled.

‘What kind of magic should I use?’

Amelia’s intentions were good to the eye. She meant not to get caught up in gossip. Ruid also agreed with that thought. There is nothing more irritating than having someone who doesn’t even know her face swear at her. I just wanted to make sure that this doesn’t bother me again.

For that, you have to show off some great magic. A great magic that no one can touch.

‘…… Keng, should I write one more time?’

I’m sure it would be effective if I used it in front of so many people.

However, I was reluctant.

That was just copying. I was curious, so I used it once, but it wasn’t something I would take as my main weapon.

‘In that case.’

Original. At this point, it’s time to make a main machine.

Ruid stretched out her hand for once. Bear Wolf sensed his magic and ran straight ahead.

Ruid felt it very slowly. In fact, it wasn’t that time passed slowly, it was the power of concentration.

‘As expected, magic is an explosion.’

The idea came quickly. Explosion. Let’s put something in and explode. Even in modern times, mankind’s strongest weapon has always been to explode something.

Ruid paid no attention to the approaching Beowulf and moved a huge amount of mana.

Immediately, countless magic circles emerged around Ruid’s body from various angles.

‘It’s a bit difficult.’

As expected, the first time using magic was difficult. Ruid chanted to use magic more comfortably.

“For mana, take the energy of the earth, the flow of water, the burning flame, and the whirlpool of the wind.”

The four elements were intertwined in the center of the Colosseum. The number of magic circles was doubling. The constantly added magic circle soon covered the sky over the Colosseum.

Ruid clenched his fists.

“And overlap.”

Kwak-!

With the sound of space stabbing, the summoned magic circle of the four elements distorted.

The energy of all the elements was concentrated in one place and a huge vortex occurred.

‘Whew.’

When the spheres of the four elements were completed, Ruid was relieved. Then the flow of time flowed normally again.

“——!”

White Beowulf was split into particles and absorbed into the sphere of elements. Louis opened his eyes wide.

‘I can’t go there!’

I wrote it so hard, but I couldn’t finish it with the preparation movement. He had to pop it fast.

Ruid exclaimed urgently. This precious magic name I made with sweat is—

“Elemental Explosion—!”

Ruid cut off the string of magical power supplied to the magic circle. The energy that had accumulated in a sphere no bigger than the palm of my hand was released in an instant.

Ruid watched him brightly. The spheres of the element, which had been black due to too many agglomerations, were emitted with colorful lights.

It was as pretty as fireworks. However-.

‘Isn’t this too strong?’

Action was faster than judgment. Ruid, like a puppy with his tail on fire, stretched out and hit the shield before the explosion hit the outer wall.

Kung—!

“—!”

I felt a shock as if my heart would jump out. Not one He added 10 barriers.

Kkaduk, Kkaduk—!

‘Mi, crazy.’

The exploded elements were struggling to somehow break through the barrier.

Ruid clenched his teeth and stretched out his hand. Clenched his fist The size of the multiple overlapping barriers decreased, and it seemed that they were gradually disappearing.

However, it was impossible to keep going like this. Then, eventually, the elements gathered in the dots will explode. Ruid made a hole in the shield to provide a space to escape.

Piyung—!

Like a laser, the five-colored light escaped and hit the wall.

Fortunately, Ruid’s ‘elemental explosion’ magic stopped.

Rurr-!

… One side of the outer wall of the Colosseum collapsed.

The pride of the academy, which had been unblemished for 300 years, had collapsed.

‘… I need to seal this.’

Looking at the president with her hand outstretched with the expression that the sky had collapsed, Louis broke into a cold sweat.

When the wall collapsed, the president’s billion must have collapsed along with it.
