by adminThe sparring ended in an instant.
The first barrier weapon fired was Hermod, who somehow managed to avoid it by throwing his body, but he was turned into a hive by the various barrier weapons that poured in afterwards.
Hermod: I don’t know what it was like with that fight, but for me, it was a very satisfying sparring.
From boundless thread to boundless martial arts.
This is because the first test operation of the barrier technique that will be responsible for my future attack techniques has been successfully completed.
“Winner, Cadet Seong Yu-jin.”
As soon as Professor Roman declared, the sparring system ended.
Hermod, who had become a beehive, had already returned and was looking at me with empty eyes.
In the first attack, he was unable to cut a single thin thread of magical power, and in the second attack, the two daggers he had swung with great enthusiasm turned into pieces of iron.
Moreover, he was ignorantly swinging a huge sword and various weapons in the air as if he was using a sword, so there would have been no way for him to do it.
“… Is Hermod weak? Are the top entering students strong?”
“Isn’t it because the top entering students are strong? Hermod, that guy, the skills he showed during the last major lecture were quite impressive.”
After the sparring ended, speculation among the cadets watching began to run rampant.
As they say. Hermod was not weak. Rather, he was strong enough.
You can see why Hermod Beowulf pulverized the mentality of many users.
That guy is Buntang, but he is an incredibly talented Buntang.
Although he was not ranked among the top powerhouses, his skills were definitely above the average of Eden’s cadets.
“Then as expected… .”
“Is Seong Yu-jin really the top student?”
As the cadets who knew about this spread the word about Hermod’s skills to the surrounding cadets, my ability to overwhelmingly defeat him naturally attracted attention.
And of course, I was expecting this situation too.
So I took out insurance.
“The top student entering the school is not Seong Yu-jin.”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
When the murmurs and loud words became dead quiet, the owner of the voice that calmed the atmosphere stepped into the sparring room.
Her black hair flowed down to her back, and her handsome appearance attracted the attention of all the chatting cadets.
Her pitch-black eyes embraced the quiet night sky, and the sparkling light in her eyes was reminiscent of starlight.
“Well, then who is the top student?”
One of the cadets who had been staring at Cheon Yu-hwa in fascination opened his mouth.
On the sparring hall, she laughed out loud as she directly rejected me, the top student Hermod had singled out.
A clear sneer, not a grin, appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“I.”
It was a short and concise answer of just one syllable.
This is a claim that came out of Cheon Yu-hwa’s mouth without any context or basis.
However, her attitude and voice were so confident that the cadets were unable to raise any objections.
Just one person.
“It can’t be.”
The cadet who nominated me as the top student. A cadet who must have a reason and basis for singling out me.
“You’re the top student in the class, it can’t be.”
Hermod Beowulf confidently raised a counterargument.
He always makes a move only after completing all prior research and preparation before starting anything.
I’m sure this time too, I would have completed all preparations thoroughly before taking action to reveal my identity.
And I know Hermod’s tendencies better than anyone else at this point.
Thorough preparation is ultimately accomplished within the scope of what he considers ‘common sense.’
“Why?”
“Because you didn’t pick Gungnir.”
The corners of Cheon Yu-hwa’s eyes were bent towards Hermod, who answered with an unwavering voice as if he was stating an obvious fact.
“Why do you think that?”
“Vice-Chancellor Odd said: While we were performing magic tricks and shows in front of the Gateway, someone pulled out a counterfeit Gungnir.”
Cheon Yu-hwa nodded as if telling him to continue.
Hermod narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, blurring the green light hidden in his narrowed eyes.
“On that day, the only person who could not be found in front of the gateway was Seong Yu-jin.”
Hermod Beowulf said that and turned his head towards me.
Bright green eyes stared at me as if urging me to answer, but I ignored their gaze with an indifferent expression.
But it’s not that I just ignored it and wasn’t impressed.
Rather, I was surprised to hear Hermod’s words while trying to present evidence to Cheon Yu-hwa.
After picking Gungnir, I actively used the perception-impairing barrier, but I had no idea that he was watching me the moment I left the gateway that day.
“I have solid evidence. I have a solid alibi to prove that Seong Yu-jin is the top student.”
Hermod’s voice growled lowly.
That guy’s personality changes like that when his efforts don’t yield any meaningful results, or when he’s on the verge of failure due to someone’s interference.
Many cadets are embarrassed by the atmosphere, and users are also confused by the strange appearance.
‘… But there are some people who don’t work that way.’
The world is wide and there are many people.
And as there are so many people, it is natural that there are various personalities and groups of people.
Hermod overlooked that fact.
“So?”
“… What?”
There are some people who do not lose their momentum just by rolling their eyes and lowering their voices.
And as far as I know, among the first-year cadets at Eden, there is no one who is as advanced in that field as Cheon Yu-hwa.
“How many seconds did the illusion magic disappear? There must have been at least a dozen people like that, right?”
One step at a time, Cheon Yu-hwa began to walk towards Hermod Beowulf.
“Monsters created through illusion magic were not something that had to be captured. I could have just ignored it and passed by.”
Two steps. The gap between Hermod and Cheon Yu-hwa became narrower.
The atmosphere began to change in an unusual way. The cadets pursed their lips and swallowed.
Professor Roman was also watching Cheon Yu-hwa with rapt attention, as if he were watching an interesting drama.
“Listen carefully.”
Before he knew it, Cheon Yu-hwa had walked in front of Hermod and lowered his voice like Hermod.
The intimidating feeling created by that eerie voice weighed heavily on the second training center.
“After Seong Yu-jin left, I also headed to the square, and I picked Gungnir there.”
The sense of coercion that had been suppressing the atmosphere became more intense.
Cheon Yu-hwa’s gaze, glaring with flashing eyes, was directed at Hermod, like a beast attacking a weaker prey with its force.
But Hermod was also a formidable opponent.
Even though he was intimidated in situations that would usually lead to a tailspin, he did not give up on his will.
“… Ha, this year’s top student chose a new song that no one has been able to choose since the founding of Eden.”
“… … .”
“It is a spear that even countless geniuses and professors have not been able to select for over a hundred years. I can’t understand it based on just one word from one cadet.”
It is indeed logical.
Hermod’s argument was right to the point, and he actually succeeded in getting the answer right.
However, as mentioned earlier, the thorough plan he prepared on his own was carried out within the scope of general common sense.
I anticipated this situation and informed Cheon Yu-hwa, who was outside of common sense, of the fact in advance.
“Yujin.”
Cheon Yu-hwa’s gaze, which seemed as if it was going to bore a hole in Hermod’s body, turned to me.
The heavy intimidation and murderous gaze were no longer there.
“Throw that at me earlier.”
“Of course.”
As soon as I saw the expression on Cheon Yu-hwa’s face as she asked with a slight smile, I raised my hand.
One great sword, six straight swords, thirteen arrows, seven spears, and two whips.
Exactly the same quantity and type of barrier armor that had turned Hermod Beowulf into a beehive appeared behind my back again.
“Shoot.”
With those words, the barrier weapons floating in the air all flew towards Cheon Yu-hwa.
Professor Roman’s urgent efforts to increase his magic power and the cadets’ screams and tight eyes were all transmitted through the detection barrier.
However, there was no opportunity for Professor Roman’s magic to come into play, and the fear evoked by the cadets’ screams did not spread throughout the training center.
“Did you see it?”
It was clearly a barrier weapon that should have smashed the floor of the sparring hall while making a loud noise.
The barrier warriors, each of whom boasted absolute strength, were all shattered and scattered in the air.
[The barrier was forcibly removed due to fantasy killing.]
With a one-line notification displayed in the status window.
All those barriers disappeared like a lie.
“A spell that Othinus placed on the replica Gungnir. I destroyed that spell with my abilities and obtained the divine spear.”
Cheon Yu-hwa laughed at Hermod, who had stiffened, as if asking him to speak again.
In such a situation, is he planning to make a last-ditch effort? Hermod opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“z, there is no evidence. Call, call Gungnir here.”
Stuttering speech and a noticeably quieter voice.
It has an ugly appearance that is not like Hermod Beowulf. However, perhaps because of the 9 episodes’ worth of karma that had accumulated over the years, I didn’t feel sorry for him at all.
And towards Hermod, Cheon Yu-hwa refuted without any mercy.
“I don’t like it? Why should I do something nice for you?”
“If there is no evidence, it is all nonsense… !”
Hermod finally lost his composure and began to raise his voice.
“Then.”
Cheon Yu-hwa looked with a straight face.
The corners of the mouth and crooked eyes that had been scornful turned emotionless.
A cold, subdued voice pierced Hermod’s body along with a sharp gaze.
“I won’t call you, so what can you do?”
Even I was momentarily appalled by the deadly force that went beyond intimidation.
Hermod Beowulf, who was mentally driven out, could not withstand Cheon Yu-hwa’s harsh murder.
dump-.
Just like that, Eden’s greatest fanatic lost his mind.
