by adminWhen other cadets couldn’t even think of moving.
The first cadet to attack Professor Caria was Cheon Yu-hwa.
It’s truly a victory, a tactic I’m familiar with.
‘Instead of analyzing the enemy’s attack, it forces them to consume more than one hand.’
The preemptive attack enabled Cheon Yu-hwa to gain an advantageous position in the battle.
This is a fact that was also mentioned in the story of .
They approach and push back with their overwhelming close combat capabilities, and use illusion killing to block the enemy’s means.
‘The problem is that the opponent this time is the Professor of Eden. Also, he is a retired top ranker.’
Kwaang-!
A shock wave erupted from the tip of Cheon Yu-hwa’s fist along with a crackling sound.
Movement so fast that the eyes cannot follow it. It is a powerful attack that will make you swallow your saliva.
The air shaken by the shock waves generated by the simple regime became wind and shook the cadets’ hair.
“… Wow crazy.”
“Are you a fighting group? It’s so fast.”
An exclamation arose among the sitting cadets.
This is proof that Cheon Yu-hwa’s movements are amazing, not only to me but also to other cadets.
“… Did you avoid it as expected?”
“Because I have no intention of accepting it obediently.”
Cheon Yu-hwa’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon. The momentum in her body became even more sharp.
After all, a person of Professor Caria’s level of skill does not need to spend any means.
The power to erase magic power and fast, powerful fists are avoided by utilizing accumulated experience and skills.
‘To this point, about 3 seconds.’
The remaining time until the time limit expires is around 7 seconds.
‘I guess I should move slowly too.’
The level of reward for this type of unexpected event varies depending on how faithful it is to its purpose.
I told him to attack me for 10 seconds with the intention of killing him, so the better his moves, the stronger the impression he will have on Professor Caria.
Now that this is the case, I plan to give a proper effective hit.
‘Strengthen your physical abilities with magical power, and engrave the bison rune that symbolizes strength on top of it.’
The magic power that flowed through the circuit and spread throughout the body, and the runes of ᚢ engraved on both arms with magic glowed faintly.
Superimpose physical strengthening on physical strengthening. It doesn’t stop there, but the name of the rune is recited to maximize its effect.
Chanting of spells. It is an act of enhancing the effectiveness of a magic trick through a high degree of self-suggestion.
“ūruz.”
[The rune of ᚢ exerts a mysterious effect.]
[The effectiveness of magic increases with verbal chanting.]
Five seconds have passed since Professor Caria started counting down.
Rattling-.
I kicked off the seat I was sitting in and threw myself away.
It rushed straight towards Professor Caria, who was avoiding Cheon Yu-hwa’s attack.
The chair that was thrown out made a loud noise and shook.
The noise is caused by the fact that I am not yet able to control my movements as finely as Cheon Yu-hwa.
“Did you further amplify your physical strength through magical power with rune magic?”
However, he couldn’t even reach Professor Caria’s collar.
She naturally turned and passed me one step.
It is a surprisingly precise movement.
Professor Caria’s red eyes saw through my every move.
I was obediently fooled by her control of the distance, which almost seemed like it could not be reached.
A living martial arts textbook. Professor Caria’s skills are perfect in all aspects of close combat.
“The effect of the rune was further enhanced by chanting.”
By demonstrating such skills, he analyzed me accurately.
I could see at a glance the physical strengthening created by the chanted rune magic.
‘Movements of this magnitude are easily read.’
4 seconds remaining.
Biting my lip nervously, I once again poured magic power into the circuit.
It is a manipulation of magical power done hastily out of impatience.
The magical power that had been stored to circulate through the circuit leaked out of the body.
Professor Caria’s gaze, which sensed magical power, is still fixed on me.
Cheon Yu-hwa, who did not miss the opportunity, made a surprise attack on the back of Professor Caria’s head.
Huh-.
“Chet, the top ranker is different. Is this it?”
Cheon Yu-hwa’s arm cut through the air once again.
This is because Professor Caria turned his body to get out of her attack range.
‘Even Cheon Yu-hwa’s speed is easily avoided. It is impossible for me to surpass Professor Caria in terms of physical ability.’
At every moment, Professor Caria’s eyes were scanning a large space.
It’s the same this time too. It seemed like Chun Yu-hwa already knew where and how he would attack.
After seeing Professor Caria’s response, I quickly came up with a plan.
Targeting her by strengthening her physical abilities will not yield any results.
It’s just a waste of time and stamina.
‘then… !’
So what should we do?
The question that came to mind was quickly answered. I changed my strategy and modified my actions.
3 seconds remaining.
A barrier that excluded magic was spread like white drawing paper, and two different magic techniques were created on top of it.
By tying two spells together into one barrier, it was designed to activate different spells.
‘The size and shape are set to a sphere that can be reached by swinging my arm.’
Any size larger than that is unnecessary.
If it touches Cheon Yu-hwa’s body, there is a risk that the barrier that was created with great effort will be demolished.
Anyway, I deployed the barrier of the completed technique.
There are now 2 seconds left.
Although a new barrier has been deployed, the body strengthening and rune magic previously activated are also maintained normally.
No problem. That decision was made.
I lunged at Professor Caria once again.
“You were too hasty. Movement has become simpler.”
She gave advice as she passed me in a straight line.
But I smiled to myself as I listened to Professor Caria’s advice.
‘Just as I thought, don’t make any more moves than necessary.’
Professor Caria behaved exactly as I expected.
He just passed by as if to get out of the way, but didn’t make a big jump to increase the distance between me.
Avoid enemy attacks and preserve stamina with minimal movement.
It is a kind of habit that Professor Caria acquired through long experience in order to survive as a hunter.
‘Efficient evasion is something the body has become accustomed to, but now it takes advantage of it.’
One additional second passed.
The moment that just passed became the last time given to me.
match-!
They held their hands together as if clasping their hands and made a hand sign.
The action chant was established with the correct hand shape.
[The effect of the barrier technique is improved by chanting the action.]
Chanting is not just about reciting spells or names with your mouth.
Gesture casting and action chanting are representative examples of such chanting.
The effect of chanting is achieved by following specific movements determined in advance or by making certain shapes with the body.
Left ahhh!
The effect of the first technique engraved on the barrier, ‘Range Expansion’, was activated.
There are two main benefits of expanding the range that can be obtained by improving the effect of the action chant.
This increases the expansion range and shortens the time required for expansion.
‘There is no need to unreasonably increase the range.’
Include Professor Caria, who is standing right next to me and watching out for Cheon Yu-hwa, but at a distance that does not reach Cheon Yu-hwa.
To avoid Cheon Yu-hwa’s illusion killing, only myself and Professor Caria are accepted into the barrier.
‘3.4 meters centered on me. A barrier of that size is sufficient.’
The increase in expansion range was given up, and the effect was devoted entirely to time reduction.
If this world were a game and not reality, it would have been an impossible operation.
With that in mind, I injected more magic into the circuit.
The technique, which was further strengthened by chanting, demonstrated the use of barrier techniques that were impossible in the game.
“Did you increase the size of the barrier?”
“No, this expansion rate… .”
The barrier finished expanding in an instant.
Some of the students who saw the barrier expanding for a split second muttered something.
‘don’t mind. I have to get the technique right somehow.’
I got my mind together. The remaining time is now just a comma second.
Before Professor Caria could sense the expansion of the barrier and attack, the second technique was activated.
“Ugh… ?!”
Professor Caria, who was trying to move his body, frowned and let out a sigh.
A technique that restricts movement. This is the identity of the second technique I engraved on the barrier.
‘Since neither the spell nor the hand signs were chanted, the effect is not great.’
The hand sign made by clasping one’s fingers together is a chant that extends the scope.
The effect of the chant was not applied to the magic effect of the binding barrier.
If she were a top ranker, she would probably shake it off in the blink of an eye.
‘Even if they say so, there is no problem.’
It will inevitably take some time for Professor Caria to recognize and destroy the binding magic.
Of course, it will be a short period of time, comparable to a split second, but it doesn’t matter.
It was enough to literally give her a break in the blink of an eye.
‘done.’
The moment when the effect of the binding technique is applied. Professor Karia’s movements stuttered in comma seconds.
As I am not a fool, I have no intention of missing that opportunity.
Soak-suk-.
I quickly stretched out my arm and grabbed the hem of Professor Caria’s clothes.
The result of 10 seconds of exerting all my effort was only to grab the hem of my clothes.
Still, this is enough for now.
I grabbed the hem of the professor’s clothes. That fact alone confirmed that my current level was higher than I thought.
“… End of ten seconds.”
Professor Caria, with a helpless expression on his face, declared the end of ten seconds.
It was only then that other things besides Professor Karia came into view.
The dust in the classroom, raised by the violent movement, was slightly fluttering.
The cadets who were sitting in their seats with their mouths wide open, and the cadets who were trying to get up and run were frozen in their postures.
Perhaps the latter cadets saw an opportunity at the last moment and made their move.
“You are still inexperienced cadets with a lot to learn.”
Professor Caria opened his mouth just as he had declared the end.
“… While saying that, my original intention was to play around with it in moderation.”
She let out a helpless laugh. And then he turned his head slightly.
Naturally, my eyes looked behind Professor Caria’s back.
A place hidden from view by her body. As Professor Caria’s head turned, he could vaguely see beyond.
“No way, I didn’t know that the clothes would be caught through a connection between two freshmen. ”
Cheon Yu-hwa appeared behind Professor Karia.
It seems that Cheon Yu-hwa also took the momentary gap I created and narrowed the distance, eventually reaching her.
I was holding the front edge of Professor Caria’s polo coat, and Cheon Yu-hwa was holding the fabric near the back.
“You two, what are your names?”
“This is Seong Yu-jin.”
“This is Cheon Yu-hwa.”
When Professor Caria heard Cheon Yu-hwa’s name, he shook his head.
Then he smiled and clapped loudly a few times.
Naturally, the cadets’ attention was focused on Professor Caria.
“This is the end of today’s lecture. You heard a lot of boring things like, “Get along well and listen to your teacher,” during your school days, right?”
already? That thought occurred to me, but the other cadets were already busy talking in small groups.
I definitely feel good when the lecture ends quickly. I went to college, so I know that feeling well.
Shortened classes and public lectures were always invincible and divine.
… I once again remembered my college schedule from the past when I failed to attend a lecture on Friday.
Damn first-come-first-serve system.
“Then, you two, please follow me for a moment.”
I was also planning to rejoice at the lecture that ended early and enjoy the break, but Professor Karia called out Cheon Yu-hwa.
“It doesn’t take long. There’s something I’d like to ask you for a moment.”
Of course, I had no choice.
.
.
.
“… Hey, is there anything you want to ask?”
He said it wouldn’t take long, and he’s already been walking for about 10 minutes.
Where on earth are you planning to take us? With that in mind, I quietly asked.
“Hmm, I’m sure no one will listen if we get this far.”
Professor Caria stopped.
Naturally, Cheon Yu-hwa and I, who were walking behind her, also stopped.
Professor Caria turned towards us and finally opened his mouth.
“I expected it, but the cadets who were personally selected by the president are special.”
… Wait, ‘cadets’?
Naturally, my head turned towards Cheon Yu-hwa.
