Chapter Index

    A house full of blood, girls standing precariously between corpses to avoid stepping on them.

    When they suddenly heard a man’s voice next to them, they were startled and showed different reactions.

    Hyeryeong, who silently placed her hand on her waist, and Eloise, who took out the wand from her bosom, were better.

    “Aaaa!!”

    “Aya… !! card… Carla… !!”

    Carla, who was startled, immediately hugged Yui, who was standing next to her, and ended up hitting her butt in a pool of blood. Yui looked like she was about to cry due to the horrifying feeling she felt from her butt.

    “I’m glad I caught it on the spot.

    It wouldn’t have been easy if it had disappeared like this.

    Two Chaoxing girls and a brown-haired kid.

    and… … Oh oh… To see it in a place like this… ?”

    Seeing the man bursting into laughter while looking at them, Eloise took a step forward and separated the students from the man.

    First of all, she was a promising applied mage, and she was also a member of the royal combat mage reserve unit.

    Her lack of practical experience was a flaw, but she was moving forward quickly as if she wanted to protect her students.

    In the meantime, Hye-ryeong, who came to the side as if Eloise was in the way, was also fiddling with her needle tube and glaring at the man.

    “First of all, it’s 4 to 1, right?

    If you surrender calmly, maybe your life will be spared?”

    “Yes. If you surrender and turn yourself in, you won’t get hurt… !!”

    “Héloïse de Pantigny.

    A new divinity born from the Faculty of Magic, right?”

    However, despite their declarations, the man who was staring at Eloise seemed to remember something and guess Eloise’s name when they first met.

    No matter how famous she is, it’s the same story in academia.

    Heloise’s lips were tightly closed as she thought about the person who could guess her identity at once, but then slowly opened with a small sigh.

    “You… He’s a mage… … ”

    “Yes. and… …

    It’s also quite excellent.”

    Seeing him raising his hand to his chest and starting to perform a magic spell, Eloise, who had stretched out her hand, urgently and forcibly spewed out magical energy to disrupt the magic spell.

    “Stop… !! Again, surrender calmly… !!”

    “That’s just what I want to say.

    If you surrender calmly, your life can be spared, right?”

    This time, his manipulation of magical power interfered with the magic that Eloise was trying to develop, and the atmosphere of tense confrontation continued.

    “You must be working for the LaLatina Cartel…

    Using magic for evil people…

    Don’t you have any pride as a mage?”

    “Pride… Pride doesn’t feed you.

    If you have abilities, the best life would be to use them to enjoy wealth and fame.

    Is it because she is a noble lady after all? You don’t seem to know much about that?”

    At his words, which seem to imply that his status is a commoner, Héloïse’s eyes begin to roll back and forth as if thinking about something.

    Hye-ryeong, who was watching the situation from the side and looking for an opportunity to intervene, was swinging her arms sharply, as if reminiscent of a whip.

    – Kigging

    But before he knew it, the transparent shield protecting the man’s surroundings began to glow, deflecting all the poisonous needles she had thrown, and the man was waving his finger at Hye-ryeong with a leisurely smile.

    “There is no way.

    Because the physical barrier has been deployed.

    Even a ballista can’t break through me now.”

    “What is that… … ?”

    “It is a defensive magic spell.

    Normally it would take time to develop, but…

    He must have casted the spell on the magic stone in advance and activated it as soon as he felt threatened…

    But if your magic power runs out, that’ll be the end, right?”

    “Well, this was a simple problem.

    Well then, the ladies are no different from missing out.

    I think it’s become 1:1.

    Don’t you know if you want to be confident?”

    “float… I’m shaking… … !?

    Do you want to die? You want to die, right?

    Even if you don’t like it, I’ll kill you… !!

    I dare to tremble at Tangmun’s masterpiece…

    Yiuuu… … !!”

    “Dangmun… Why are you coming from that side?

    ah? I guess she’s a girl studying at the academy.

    But you won’t have to see anything this far, right?”

    “Die!!”

    Hye-ryeong threw the poisonous needles several times, and later tried to throw heavier memorized needles, but they were soon blocked by the flickering barrier and only fell to the floor.

    “It’s no use, so stop.

    It’s not something that can be broken with that much physical force.

    I will step forward… … Ugh… ”

    “I listened to the evaluation well. But there are clear limits there, right?

    Others say that I am a genius who is good at both application and design.

    But really, what can you do?

    At best, he is nothing more than a design authority with more application talent.”

    “Then let’s try to block it… …

    Deplea… !!”

    “It’s hot from the start!!

    Aquatium!!”

    The limitation of the physical barrier is that it cannot block magical attacks caused by the flow of magical power.

    Likewise, the magic barrier that blocks magic attacks had the limitation of not being able to block physical attacks due to its design to limit the flow of magic power.

    Knowing this well, each party quickly poured magic spells with opposing attributes cast at the opponent, neutralizing the opponent’s first attack.

    However, most of the wizards’ battles involved interfering with the opponent’s magical power rather than using flashy magic attacks.

    It prevents the completion of the magic formation by forcibly colliding with the magic spell created by the opponent, and conversely completes one’s own magic formation and attacks the opponent.

    The released magical power was fluttering like particles of light between the man and Heloise.

    In the end, there was nothing they could do, so the remaining three girls watched the two’s duel, and were silently expressing admiration as they watched.

    Something was clearly happening, but they couldn’t understand what it was.

    However, for those women who could at least clearly see the magic light striking the opponent or bouncing off brilliantly, that alone was enough to leave room for admiration.

    The only thing that wasn’t good was… …

    “Your senses are okay? I have a trick.”

    “I’m not happy even when I get compliments from that person.”

    “But the horsepower is lower than expected?

    Is this different from what came in?

    A duel with that much magical power is usually suicidal.”

    Recently, it seemed like magic depletion had been occurring frequently, and today as well, Eloise did not have enough magic power left in her body.

    The direct release of magical power without using magic is said to be an extremely inefficient waste of magical energy.

    However, in order to interfere with the opponent in a battle between magicians, releasing magical power to interfere with the opponent’s magic formation is essential.

    This was the reason why pictures of warriors being more active than mages in battle were often drawn in Groden.

    When battles between mages occur, each side only interferes with the other’s magic arts, and in fact, there were many cases where the two sides ended up not being able to get along with each other.

    Of course, it could be said that it is more effective for a magician to be dealt with by the same magician, but at least for now, that statement did not seem to have any meaning to Eloise.

    “Still, the magic power control seems to be quite delicate.

    Are you born with low magical power?

    Looks like the bottom is already showing?”

    “That’s right… No… … ”

    I don’t know how this was the first time, but Eloise, who had interrupted the man’s magic formation by emitting magical power once again, was feeling a numbness in her chest and dizziness, which were signs of depletion of magical power, and was shaking her body gently.

    Of course, Eloise could not have imagined that this was the work of Enic, who had recently been exploiting her magical powers for the growth of the new Enic.

    After all, I couldn’t understand the current state of my mana being depleted already at this timing after several attacks and defenses.

    ‘Since then… Magic power…

    I’ve probably never used it… Hmm… … ‘

    While the opponent is still overflowing with leisure, he himself is strangely lacking in magical power.

    Still, Eloise is definitely a great mage.

    He wasn’t an amateur who couldn’t estimate how much magical power he had on a regular basis.

    Now there is no one who can face the mage over there other than himself.

    This was clearly enemy territory right now, and even thinking about that man coming here right now, they were practically in a situation where they were in danger.

    “Hey… This is a bit disappointing… …

    Since they have touched the cartel’s territory, they will be waiting for every opportunity to seek bloody revenge no matter what.

    If he lost here, the students behind him would also not be able to defeat this man, and it was obvious what the four ‘women’ who tried to cause damage by stirring up the cartel’s territory would experience.

    Compared to men, whose work ability is the most useful, women can be used in many more ways.

    Also, there were many different ways in which a woman could destroy her dignity as a human being.

    ‘I am responsible for bringing them here without stopping them…

    therefore… As for the students… … ‘

    Thinking that if she collapsed, it would be the end for everyone, even the students behind her, Héloïse tried to calm her panicked mind and gritted her teeth and channeled her magic to deal with the man.

    It would have been nice to make the choice to waste time by conserving the magic power to create one’s own magic and to pour everything into interfering with the opponent’s magic.

    “ugh… … Miss Hyeryeong…

    escape… Hit it… …

    now… No more… … ”

    But even if I tried to force myself to hold on, it wasn’t like I could create magical power that wasn’t there.

    And even if we wasted time here, reinforcements would not come, and it would only delay the moment of defeat a little.

    In the end, Eloise stumbled and fell to her knees, breathing heavily, and seemed to be giving instructions to Hye-ryeong, who was watching the situation, about her next move.

    “Did you do everything you could?

    It’s boring, yes.”

    In the end, when Heloise’s interference disappeared, the man completed his technique and placed it on his hand, waving his fingers as if he would activate it at any moment.

    In fact, it’s about three ordinary female students who haven’t trained their magic power, and a mage woman whose magic power has run out.

    It goes without saying that if you just use a single magic trick in that man’s hand, everything in this house will be put in order at once.

    At this moment, their fate was virtually decided, whether they were burned to death or drowned.

    She knew that the attack wouldn’t work, so normally she would have chosen a strategic retreat, but Hye-ryeong, perhaps conscious of the people who would stay behind, continued to struggle by throwing more memorized words without leaving.

    Yui was also meaninglessly hiding Carla behind her, looking at the man with trembling eyes.

    And at the very back of the women, Carla was watching them at a glance while being protected by Yui.

    The urgent situations in front of her eyes were flashing on her retina as if in slow motion, and in Carla’s mind as she stared blankly at the scenes, countless thoughts were flowing like flashes of light.

    ‘I asked you to come… …

    Because I’m stubborn… …

    Yui too… Hyeryeongdo…

    Professor Eloise… … ‘

    Carla’s face finally realized that it was her own stubbornness that had created this situation, and the color was disappearing from her face until it was as white as a sheet of paper.

    Because he couldn’t trust Yui, who trusted him during the special evaluation, he couldn’t do anything until she got seriously hurt.

    Even when Spider-kun was sacrificed while fighting against auto drones wearing hydraulic armor without any countermeasures, saying that he could do whatever he wanted.

    “That… Please stop… … ”

    “Yes… ? what?

    Let’s finish this soon.

    It was fun so I played around a bit…

    I’m also quite busy, right?”

    In the end, clear and transparent dew was slowly beginning to form in Carla’s eyes as she realized that people were being sacrificed because of her this time too.

    “I… Hmm… I was wrong…

    I asked you to come… !!

    therefore… responsibility… I’ll lose… …

    As for other people… Please send… …

    Please… … Ugh… ”

    “Ah… … I’m weak to a child’s tears.

    How dare you dig into such weaknesses in such a despicable way.

    however. Do you have no thoughts?”

    “Sniff… to… … ?”

    “You looked at my face and asked me to send you home gracefully.

    To be honest, even if the security police department came running, I wouldn’t get caught…

    Anyway, it’s the same thing that gets annoying.

    Even if you think about it, doesn’t that make a bit of sense?”

    “That… that… … ”

    “And… From the looks of it, the other guys…

    It looks like I have no intention of leaving you behind in the first place?”

    In the meantime, Hye-ryeong and Yui seem to be trying to protect Carla, rather than blaming her.

    “Lady… I’ll buy some time… First, run… ”

    “Hye-ryeong… Yui… … !!”

    “For now, just do as Hyeryeong says.

    Because I can try anything… ”

    Carla’s reddened eyes, looking at that scene, were being gently obscured by her eyelids.

    ‘me… What should I do… …

    Spider-kun… let me know… …

    ah… … Spider-kun… Spider-kun… … ‘

    “Spider-kun… !!”

    “Ugh… ?”

    At Carla’s sudden cry as if she realized something, something came up her leg with a beautiful bursting sound and began to wrap around her delicate body.

    Heloise’s eyes widened as she gazed at the sight of the glossy material climbing up Carla’s body in the blink of an eye, carefully covering her entire body without exception.

    “Ahh… !! that… … !!”

    When even Heloise looked surprised, the man seemed to have become interested in this person he had never seen before and began to approach Carla step by step.

    “What… Where did that come from?”

    “Carla… !! Run away… !! Ugh… !!”

    “Ah… Miss it… !! no… Ahhh… !!”

    The man who had pushed Yui, who was running towards him, and roughly thrown Hyeryeong, who was also trying to hit her, to the floor next to him, was beginning to look with interest at Carla, who had already acquired a silver body.

    “Where… Did it come out? ?”

    The very moment Carla answers his question.

    “That’s… It’s a woman’s secret… … !!”

    “Keuheo!!”

    Suddenly, with a terrible sound like the wind cutting through the wind, the man was hit on the chin and floated into the air. Around him, the magic light particles of the physical barrier that protected him seemed to be shattering into pieces.

    He smashed the ceiling of the house and got his head stuck in there. He hung from the ceiling and waved his legs for a while, like in a cartoon, but eventually his body ended up falling limp due to gravity.

    The eyes of everyone watching were wide open in surprise, and the image of Karla raising her clear silver right fist to the sky with all her might, as if throwing an uppercut, was reflected in their retinas.

    “You asked me that… … Low quality… … !!”

    “What did I just see… … ?”

    The bewildered looks in their eyes were so impressive that Carla had no choice but to put a lot of effort into explaining the situation later.
