by adminI defeated Tatsuya Fujiwara and advanced to the finals.
So I returned to the lounge again and thought deeply while replenishing the magic power and stamina I had used.
The swimming of Shin Kage-ryu.
Since the cataclysm occurred, martial arts, which have been treated as entertainment such as sports games, are reaching their heyday again, and it is a technique created in the Japanese swordsmanship school Shin Kage-ryu.
‘In a world where magic had just been created, people who used magic even clumsily were always annoying and threatening.’
The skills of magicians immediately after the cataclysm were only at the level of children’s pranks, using the magic inside the body to create phenomena at random.
However, the fact that the magicians’ skills were the same means that the warriors and other people were also the same.
‘Because it was a time when not all humans were familiar with magical power.’
In such a world, Shin Kage-ryu’s swimming technique was developed to survive or to survive against magicians’ techniques and all kinds of supernatural abilities.
As the main story progresses, the technique widely known in Korea as Shadow Shedding is a technique that is similar to Cheon Yu-hwa’s Illusion Killing and My Domain.
‘A technique that absorbs magic power like illusion killing and spreads a barrier that neutralizes the magic, allowing the disciples of the Shin Kage-ryu to cut down all kinds of supernatural abilities with a single sword.’
The reason Shin Kage-ryu has the largest and strongest power in Japan is because swimming is a secret art of Shin Kage-ryu.
However, perhaps because it is an advanced technique that is ranked A among barrier techniques, only a small number of students have mastered it.
Students who can handle it skillfully are considered a minority among the minority.
‘Tatsuya Fujiwara in the original also used incomplete swimming at the beginning of the second semester, but I never thought he could already perform a completed swimming.’
After the first semester, Tatsuya Fujiwara, who failed to achieve any significant results in the sports competition, returns to Japan during the summer vacation and learns swimming skills after training.
This is the future that the original Fujiwara Tatsuya I knew had to experience.
‘… That future has gone awry.’
At the time of the game, I could only vaguely guess that the reason was the butterfly effect, but I could not pinpoint what the butterfly effect was from.
But now I have some sense of the starting point of the butterfly effect.
Two familiar people talking loudly next to me right now.
“Ahh! It’s really annoying!”
“So, who would trust only magic power to install it?”
Seria Alfheim and Chun Yu-hwa have just returned from the semi-finals and are busy bickering.
“Do you really want to get hit?!”
“If you can, try it! Even though we lost the game!”
Among them, I think that Cheon Yu-hwa, with his fantasy killing skills, is the starting point of the butterfly effect of abnormal growth shown by Tatsuya Fujiwara.
‘In the original work, not only was Chun Yu-hwa not active in Eden’s life, but she was also never involved with Tatsuya Fujiwara.’
However, by now, Tatsuya Fujiwara has already been involved twice in dungeon strategy practice and in the raid for this sports competition, and has had several opportunities to directly witness the illusion killing of Yu-Hwa Cheon, who is no different from Yoo-Yeong’s distant superior compatibility.
‘I guess I got a clue while watching Phantom Killing.’
It was surprising, and also disconcerting.
But if you ask me if that’s a bad thing for me, well, no. Rather, I think it is the best news among good news for me.
As swimming is the secret and basic skill of Shinkage-ryu, it is not taught to outsiders who are not formal students.
If this is violated and secretly taught, the school will directly punish the student who broke the rules.
‘There is no violent crime like this, but the Japanese government is virtually condoning it.’
They also did not hope that the technology of their country’s excellent school would spread overseas and become a common technology used by everyone.
Nevertheless, not all users of Shinkage-ryu are students.
Right now, Fujiwara Tatsuya was also not an official disciple of Shin Kage-ryu.
The reason it is possible is not just because it hid well and tried hard to avoid being tracked.
It’s not for some flimsy reason like a perfect crime, it’s because he simply stole Yooyoung’s technique based on his overwhelming talent.
‘The rules of Shin Kage-ryu prohibit the unauthorized transmission of Yu-Ring, so there is no basis for harming those who have learned it in any other way.’
Like what Tatsuya Fujiwara did, he built the technique himself by observing distant higher compatibility.
‘Shin Kage-ryu, Yuyoung.’
Ugh-.
An exception is the case where a person encounters a student practicing Shin Kage-ryu directly, completely interprets the technique, and acquires it on his own.
‘I got another unexpected hand.’
Anyway, swimming is a Shin Kage-ryu technique based on barrier techniques.
In other words, for me, who absolutely interprets and controls barriers lower than EX rank, it is not that difficult to steal that technique.
For a moment, I tried to maintain Shin Kage-ryu’s swimming motion centered around me with a radius of about 1 meter.
‘It’s stable. There will be no problem if you use it in real life right now.’
It is a more sophisticated technique than Fujiwara Tatsuya’s swimming technique, whose effect was limited to swords.
After expanding the area of effect of the technique to my body and the surrounding space, I was satisfied with the completeness of the swimming and completed the swimming barrier.
‘If used well, it may be possible to block illusion killing without barrier-level damage.’
As both Illusion Slayer and Shin Kage-ryu Yu-Yeong use magical energy absorption as their basic operating principle, there was a high possibility that one would not be able to gain the upper hand as they would steal magical energy from each other.
‘Of course, if that happens, it will be a battle for output… .’
Thanks to the multi-core and vast amount of horsepower, there are only a few people who can surpass me in the power output competition, even if you count the entire world.
And just in time.
‘We have a stage perfect for experiments.’
The match between Seria Alfheim and Yu-Hwa Chun was a much more overwhelming battle than expected due to the hard carry of illusion killing, so it was confirmed that Yu-Hwa Chun would advance to the finals.
‘Perhaps, starting from this sports festival, I may be able to completely overcome illusion killing.’
While repeating those thoughts to myself, I checked my watch and got up.
“Cadets Cheon Yu-hwa and Seong Yu-jin, please move now!”
Now it’s time for the finals to be held.
Cheon Yu-hwa and I briefly exchanged glances with each other and followed the guidance of the faculty member as we each moved to the stadium.
.
.
.
“You’ve waited a long time.”
Odd Spartium imbued his voice with magic and spread it widely so that all the audience in the stadium could hear it.
The start of the final is not conducted by the broadcaster, but by the Vice President himself.
Is it because it is the most important game of the sports festival? It is like a tradition that has been going on for a long time.
“Many, many matches have been held over a long period of time, but were there really two cadets who stood at the extremes of each other with talent as outstanding as today?”
Cheon Yu-hwa and I are standing on either side of Odd Spartium, who is standing in the center of the stadium and saying that.
Odd Spartium paused for a moment, smiled faintly, glanced at me and Cheon Yu-hwa, and then opened his mouth again.
“Before we start the game, let’s ask the two cadets here.”
he asked. The vice-chancellor of Eden, the man who stands at the top of all hunters in the world, asks a question.
“What did you come to this position for?”
All the audience’s attention was focused on me and Cheon Yu-hwa. It feels like the attention of everyone around the world watching the broadcast is aimed at us.
Pretty… No, the attention is so overwhelming that I can confidently say that I have never received more attention than this before.
In that situation, it was Cheon Yu-hwa who spoke first.
“To prove.”
“To prove it. What do you mean?”
“You can become a great hunter even if you don’t have magical power. To prove ‘you’re wrong’ to my parents who abandoned me and to everyone who trampled on my life and dreams because I don’t have magical powers.”
As she said that, her eyes and voice showed anger and murderous intent that went beyond her resolve.
In a world where magic is everything, Cheon Yu-hwa was born unable to use magic.
I just couldn’t use it because of something related to illusion killing, but I knew she had magical powers… As a result, she lived a life no different from if she had not been born with magical powers.
“… Then today is the perfect opportunity.”
After saying that, Odd Spartium turned his gaze towards me this time.
And asked the same question.
“What did you come up to here for?”
And I also gave my answer.
“Can’t reveal right now.”
Everyone in the audience held their breath, and the expressions of Odd Spartium in front of them and Aleister in the audience changed slightly.
“If I don’t win, it’s obvious that I will disperse like bubbles.”
“… So, are you saying that you will reveal your purpose only after you win?”
“Yes.”
A moment of silence. And Odd Spartium, laughing, nodded and said.
“Good. Then there is no need to continue the story.”
Chun Yu-hwa and I stood in our respective positions, faced each other, and were ready to start the match.
“From now on.”
The magic power surging from the three cores runs through the circuit.
Take your stance and focus all your nerves on Cheon Yu-hwa’s movements.
“The finals of the sports competition will begin.”
The next moment, Cheon Yu-hwa and I collided at the same time, kicking up dust at our feet.
