chapter 86
33. How to beat Yun Kun-woo (3)
‘Nonsense!’
Das opened his mouth involuntarily.
Lightning made by Yun Gun-woo.
The lightning struck echoes of thunder everywhere.
‘It’s not that cadets can’t use this kind of electric magic. but…’
What makes no sense is the casting speed.
Even he, the instructor of the Faculty of Magic, missed the activation of Yun Gun-woo’s skill.
It had to be.
Now, Yun Kun-woo’s skill casting is a delay in completing the spell.
It must have been an instant cast skill with zero back.
‘It’s such an outrageous mana acceleration.’
Extremely accelerated mana responds to the caster’s will and reduces the cast delay to close to zero.
It was clear that that skill would be Yun Gun-woo’s signature skill.
So it was impossible to react to that skill with any evasion skill.
Literally the speed at which lightning strikes.
The flash of that moment was so fast and the level was so high.
I involuntarily felt sad.
Yun Geon-woo, who is in the top 3 among cadets.
However, Lee Jun-woo is in the top 30% even if he sets his record high.
Even as a middle class cadet, I struggled very hard in my own way.
Still, there was a very high probability that that boss monster would fall prey to Yun Gun-wu’s party, no, Yun Gun-wu alone.
It would have been better if he had been deprived of achievements like that.
I didn’t know that if I was struck by lightning, I might be seriously injured.
“Hmm?”
But that was the moment.
Das doubted his eyes.
‘Is Lee Jun-woo okay? Did you survive that skill?’
The lightning strike made the place where Lee Jun-woo stood just a moment ago miserable.
The terrain was burned black and cracks were formed just from that lightning strike.
However, Lee Jun-woo was fine.
“… you… what happened?”
Yun Gun-woo also looked at Lee Jun-woo in disbelief and said.
Lee Jun-woo answered with a smile.
“This is just the price. It’s a signature skill, right? Is there anything wrong?”
In an instant, a small scene passed through Dace’s mind.
‘mirror? Could it be that he let go of that attack instead of avoiding it?’
A mirror created by Lee Jun-woo.
The mirror channeled that lightning to the ground.
And when Dice thought about that fact again, she got goosebumps.
‘Against a lightning bolt with that much speed and power?’
The timing of summoning that mirror and hitting the skill.
Because that was never something a mere cadet could do.
Dace came to his senses again.
‘This is not the time. About that cadet named Lee Jun-woo…’
And again, I focused on the confrontation between the two people.
***
I smiled at Yoon Gun-woo.
“It’s nothing. For being smug.”
The obvious provocation made Yoon Gun-wu’s eyes tremble.
It would be very humiliating for a guy with a very strong pride.
But rather than that provocation, Yun Geon-wu couldn’t believe that I had nullified that signature skill.
“How… how did you guys react to my Indra?”
The skill name of that signature skill is Indra.
Even though it seemed like a middle schooler’s name, the skill’s fraudulent nature was not enough even after the god of lightning was named after it.
‘Actually, it’s a skill that can never be nullified with my specs.’
Of course, in advance, I fully prepared to deal with that skill.
The timing of the confrontation between the two.
guy’s speech.
Immediately after that line, I counted three seconds in my mind.
It was certain that lightning would strike over my head without any warning.
‘But even if I knew that, it was very difficult to nullify.’
It is a skill that cannot be shed in the first place.
It is single and ranged at the same time.
It wasn’t a skill made with a scope, but because its power is so strong, lightning damage spreads in all directions.
That’s why I didn’t take that power head-on, and no matter how I tried to shed it, I had no choice but to be defeated.
‘Whether it’s making a shield or holding armor, it was a skill that could even ignore the defense.’
But I managed to do it.
Exactly, the skill I used.
By summoning the Dark Mirror.
[warrant]——-
[The power is being activated.]
* Power Name: Seat of Shadow Mirror (2nd) / Hidden / lv.25 / Warlock,
▶ Active skill
* Summon Dark Mirror (lv.7)
: Summons a mirror covered in darkness. The abyss in the mirror shimmers darkly.
▶ Passive skill
* Seat of the Mirror (∞)
…
——-
My secondary power, the throne of the shadow mirror.
In fact, I’ve never used that authority in battle.
It was only used to generate power using the passive skill Mirror of Power.
However, even with that secondary authority, there was definitely an active skill.
‘I can summon the Dark Mirror.’
That was a different skill than summoning a mirror with the 1st power.
Even with the same mirror, the level was different.
In the first place, the level of this authority was hidden.
And the active skill, the mirror of darkness, was level 5 from the beginning.
Generally speaking, if a skill is level 5, it means that the skill has been developed over a considerable period of time. This is a fairly high level.
But now, beyond that level, the level has increased to 7 through the power generation experience.
‘It means that it has become a very high-level skill in itself.’
In fact, it’s a fraudulent skill called power generation.
Although the dark mirror itself cannot create physical damage.
I did not dwell on that stereotype. I always thought of ways to use this skill usefully.
That’s the result right now.
‘I could have used a perfect counter against that Yun Gun-woo.’
A skill with the extreme ‘darkness’ attribute that fills the darkness in the abyss.
On the other hand, that Yun Geon-wu’s lightning, its source is the light attribute.
Light and darkness are judged to be compatible with the higher class.
So even that ignorant Yun Gun-woo’s signature skill was able to be nullified.
‘Instead, I had to perfect the timing for just one moment.’
Of course, even with such a superiority, the difference in absolute stats was large.
The timing when my Dark Mirror skill is maximally deployed.
And if the lightning strikes the mirror in just one moment of contact, the timing is wrong.
I wouldn’t have been able to nullify that guy’s skill with that compatibility.
At that time, Yun Geon-woo spoke belatedly.
“Keuk… What. okay. If you’re lucky, you might be able to dodge it once in a while. To be happy that you made a snack for the rest of your life.”
But the silence before that was longer than expected.
It was clear that he was shocked by the fact that his signature skill was nullified.
The boy’s expression grew colder in an instant.
“I can’t stop you twice. Because I don’t have only one skill.”
Really, it seemed that he had no intention of leaving me alone.
‘Well, if you think about it, that guy didn’t even get hit.’
Of course, if I keep fighting like this, I will lose in the end.
Still, I wasn’t nervous at all.
As long as you have endured this signature skill.
It’s as if I’ve already won.
There was no such thing as a tactic in every battle for nothing.
‘Perhaps soon…’
It was also what I thought.
The moment Yun Geon-woo tried to attack me again.
Kwajijijik-
The atmosphere around it froze.
It was Ahn Yoo-min.
The Aegis arrived at the expected timing.
“What are you doing?”
An Yu-min asked Yun Gun-wu in a cold voice that was unimaginable when he was talking to me.
‘Good.’
All the other members of Aegis were also visible.
On the other hand, Yun Kun-woo’s pride is too strong.
He left his party alone and ran to the boss area alone.
In the party play score, if this is the case, there will be deductions.
‘Then fight hard against the Aegis.’
Of course, if the party finishes the boss like this.
Our party is number 1.
Aegis is second.
Yun Geon-wu, who lost to both parties, may have a big scar on his pride.
‘It’s not part-time job.’
I turned my back on him.
“Bastard! Now come and get your butt…”
But he couldn’t attack me.
Since you’ve already entered the battle with the Aegis.
I leisurely joined the party in the gap.
‘My mana is sufficient.’
And without giving Aigis and Yun Gun-woo a chance to covet the boss.
A high-grade skill that contains demonic power as it is.
Ignite the Evil Flame.
“Everybody back off!”
Rurr rrr-
At the same time, the huge ogre’s entire body caught fire.
Moments later, the ogre collapsed.
cooong-
At that moment, I was certain of the party’s victory.
***
A week has passed since the midterm exams.
The scoring of several assessments has already been completed.
And the evaluation that became a hot topic among professors and instructors was the evaluation of the dungeon.
Instructor Lee Soo-yeon of the Department of Liberal Majors.
She, the instructor in charge of the 1st year 1st class of the department, was in a very good mood.
The dungeon evaluation is the most important and topical test in all evaluations for freshmen.
And the results of the dungeon evaluation surprised Theia’s faculty.
“Instructor Lee Soo-yeon? How are you educating your cadets? This is the first time a middle class has ranked first in this evaluation. Do you have any special know-how?”
Each of the instructors I encountered grabbed Suyeon Lee and asked her about her past evaluation.
Each time she was elated.
“What… I told you. It’s not necessarily a good thing to stick to one class and attribute. Shall I say that my teaching philosophy has borne fruit?”
Like that said.
The Department of Liberal Majors was treated as an ambiguous department in many ways before.
Of course, the first class of the middle class made up of cadets from that liberal arts department.
I couldn’t help but be proud of the results the cadets produced.
In fact, even at the faculty meeting held right after the midterm, her status rose considerably.
“Hmm. Right. Well, looking at the battle record of the middle class party that ranked first… I can’t disagree.”
To those words, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon did not forget to add a word.
“Of course, my teaching theory is quite complicated, so what I taught you is about 30%. The remaining 70% was achieved by my cadets themselves.”
That wasn’t humility or exaggeration.
In particular, regarding Lee Jun-woo, who served as the party leader of the middle class party.
‘no. If it’s Lee Jun-woo, it’s more than 80%. It might not be strange to raise it to 90%.’
Just as she was in such a good mood, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon headed for the building of the Department of Free Majors.
Today, there is an interview with the cadets of the party that produced that amazing result.
Right away, about the academy competition that will be held in two weeks.
Instructor Lee Soo-yeon, who entered the building with light steps, stopped for a moment.
‘huh? You and Junu are one.’
They are both class 1 cadets and cadets of that party.
As she was about to say hello to the two of them, she was silent for a moment.
The atmosphere between the two was unusual.
‘no way…’
Lee Soo-yeon carefully hid herself and watched the two of them.
