“Because Ayoung is here, the pain will increase as if it were real.”

“…Do we really have to do that?”

Beep- Beep-

I whetted my appetite as I watched Professor Lim Sol setting up the training ground with a smile.

Why do you like realistic sparring so much?

“Opportunities like this don’t come often.”

“So why should I take that opportunity?”

Isn’t there a reason to feel pain when you can make it not hurt?

The professor who answered my question looked excited.

“I want to do it. It’s been so long since I’ve had a fight where I felt genuine tension.”

“Ah, yes….”

Still, I should say thank you for acknowledging me.

I don’t like being in pain, but it would be good to get a spell that hurts me to death beforehand.

There is a saying that the sweat shed on the training ground replaces the blood shed on the battlefield.

“Sol, you shouldn’t try too hard against the cadets, you know?”

“Ayoung, you wouldn’t say something like that if you saw our student fighting, right?”

“No. You are a professor. Hoyeon is a cadet. A cadet.”

Baek A-young seemed to be worried about me and was giving instructions to Professor Lim Sol.

“It’s okay, Mr. Ayoung. The professor won’t be serious either. We sparred with a penalty last time too.”

“… I understand if you are.”

I patted Baek Ayoung on the shoulder and reassured her.

Of course, it is a secret that a huge penalty was levied against the unwary professor.

“I’m ready. Let’s go.”

The professor looked happy.

It’s great to see that you haven’t lost your original intention and are sincere about magic.

“The rules are the same as last time, right? Do not use magic again that you have already used. And use only one magic without multiple casting.”

“Yes. I won’t use the magic I used during our last sparring, so don’t worry.”

“…how many magics do you know?”

“We need to increase our student experience.”

The professor went up to the training ground first.

I followed behind him and slowly turned my head to look at Baek Ayoung.

Baek Ah-young was holding both hands tightly as if she was praying as she watched her boyfriend climb into the ring.

“It’s okay. It’s really not dangerous at all.”

“… Yes. Fighting.”

Baek Ayoung cheered me on by clenching her fists, and I smiled and quickly went up to the training ground.

The professor standing across from me started the training room as soon as he saw that I was coming up.

At the same time, a thin film surrounded my body.

It was a mana shield that protected my life.

Now, if there is a risk of death, the sparring hall will automatically stop.

“I almost recreated the pain. If you get hit, it will hurt quite a bit, so be careful.”

“…Professor, be careful too. I won’t watch you either.”

“Yes, yes. Good luck to you, my student. Still, it’s better to get hit here than to get hit in real life.”

match-

When the professor clapped his hands, a magic circle began to be drawn.

It’s already started.

‘Main artillery.’

I felt hot flames from the professor’s touch.

I was familiar with the rune barrier and thought about strategies.

In fact, there is only one thing that has changed compared to the last sparring.

‘Ark.’

A magic sphere using a core magic technique.

It’s probably a magic that even the professor couldn’t have imagined, so if you use it now, you can definitely achieve something.

The chances are very small, but you might win.

‘Should I write it now?’

If you just think about it, it’s definitely right to use it.

As you spar with the professor, your proficiency will increase, and the ways to deal with the wizard’s magic will increase.

However, if your goal is to beat Professor Lim Sol, continuing to hide it and secretly increasing your skill level may be the right choice.

In the end, when it matters, one shot is what counts.

Kwaaang-

“Aren’t you concentrating?”

“I do. I do.”

Let’s fight first.

I put off my worries for a moment as I watched the flying tree vines.

*

‘It’s the same as last time.’

Im Sol thought as he sparred with the student in front of him.

Nothing had changed from the last sparring.

Of course, I let my guard down and had a brief crisis back then, but now I wasn’t even giving up that weakness.

He didn’t use any mental magic, and he didn’t even block the counterattacks that came his way, so he shot them all down.

Imsol opened his mouth, feeling slightly bored.

“Is this the same as before I went to France? I’m disappointed in my student.”

“Isn’t it strange to expect a dramatic change after less than a month?”

“I solved one of the most difficult problems in the magic world in one month.”

“That’s the professor!”

Quad deuk-

Lee Ho-yeon barely managed to answer while knocking away the flying rocks one by one.

Every time he reveals his secret, it becomes more and more difficult to defeat the professor.

Even now, Imsol was not using mental magic at all.

‘Should the arc be hidden as well?’

Mental magic and magic that changes its composition before your eyes.

Just by discovering these two things, there was no way to exploit the gap.

If you tell me about the arc here, there is no other hogu like this.

“Tsk…!”

Hoyeon Lee rolled his body to avoid the flying ice chunks.

Beads of sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped onto the floor.

Imsol in front of me was using magic without stopping.

Counterattacking, or just defending, is difficult.

His problem was that if he didn’t use Ark, it would only be backwards compatible with Imsol.

Sigh-

The fierce cold wind scratches Lee Ho-yeon’s cheek.

When I lightly touched it, I saw red blood stains.

It’s not enough that the gauges have been shaved off, there’s this realistic element.

It hurts so bad.

When I glanced down at the training ground, I saw Baek A-young with a nervous expression.

Even in such a miserable situation, I was heartbroken to see people holding hands tightly and cheering for me.

When I looked straight ahead, I saw Im Sol with a bored expression.

Although I was grateful that they used new magic to help me improve even when it seemed boring, I couldn’t help but feel that being a boring opponent hurt my pride.

‘This guy’s pride is the problem.’

They say that the reason men die quickly is because of pride, and now I feel like I can sympathize.

I hated it when women looked at me with such disappointment.

I wanted to give them a shot to show their presence even in situations where losing is normal.

If you were born as a man, you should live like that.

“Arc Conjuration. Three.”

Again-

In the end, Lee Ho-yeon summoned Ark.

If you think about it, it’s not a bad thing.

The option to win by increasing your skill level is not a bad option.

“Blood beat. Maximum output.”

Exciting- Exciting-

Magical power that quickly circulates through the internal magic circuit.

With [Battle Sense], you will instantly have mana equivalent to Im Sol.

Of course, the time you can fight will be greatly reduced… Okay.

The goal is to somehow land a punch.

“What is that? It’s my first time seeing magic.”

Before Im Sol analyzed Arc Conjuration.

And now that we are still letting our guard down, we have to see the outcome.

Hoyeon Lee quickly rotated his magic power.

‘Tempest Wind.’

‘Blaze Flare.’

The core techniques of known high-ranking magic were incorporated into the Arc.

This high-level magic has strong destructive power, but it takes a long time to cast.

In a battle between wizards where the outcome is decided by the second, using magic like this is like saying you will lose.

But Lee Ho-yeon did not stop.

Even this was not enough to create a gap for Imsol.

‘Aqua Blaster.’

3 high level spells.

The arc rotating around Lee Ho-yeon absorbed the core technique and automatically began drawing a magic circle.

The Arc is a sphere that draws the rest of the magic circle when you create and give it the core magic formula.

Meanwhile, Lee Ho-yeon spread a strong rune barrier and hid himself.

It was only then that Imsol felt an unusual magical power.

After taking a moment to analyze the arc, she did not let down her guard yet, and it took only a split second to react to the unusual magical power.

Lee Ho-yeon’s magic has already been completed.

Kwakwagagagagak-thud-!

“When did you get three high-ranking spells?”

Imsol could not hide his embarrassment at the high-level magic that was completed in an instant.

Not one, but three.

Strong winds and high-temperature flames filled the training ground.

And a dangerous stream of water fills the gap.

Lee Ho-yeon’s magic, created in an instant, came right before Im Sol’s eyes.

Imsol spread his strong shield three times and drew a high-ranking magic circle.

She used multiple castings, which was a penalty for sparring, but she didn’t notice it yet because her body was reacting.

‘Seven Lights Abjure Flame’

Seven red beads floated above Imsol’s head.

In order to overpower the already completed high-level magic, this one also needed overwhelming magical power.

Seven red beads began to split the sky.

Imsol’s overwhelming magical power completely suppressed Lee Ho-yeon’s magic.

It was a magic of a much higher rank among high-ranking magics, and Imsol’s magic power was more overwhelming than Lee Ho-yeon’s.

Im Sol suppressed the magic and aimed at Ho-yeon Lee’s body at the same time.

“Whoa. Whoa….”

They attacked the area around where Lee Ho-yeon was standing to the point where the floor of the training ground melted, but Lee Ho-yeon was nowhere to be seen.

‘Where is it?’

Im Sol did not let down his guard even as he caught his breath.

The sparring hall was filled with smoke and steam, making it impossible to see the opponent with the naked eye.

Im Sol spread his magic and searched for Lee Ho-yeon’s location.

It’s sure to be hiding somewhere, so be careful of flying magic.

It might be behind, or it might be on the side.

‘I can react.’

Now I don’t let down my guard.

If the same unusual magical power appears just now, get rid of it immediately… .

“Here.”

At that moment, Lee Ho-yeon’s voice was heard whispering from behind.

Paaat-

Imsol opened his eyes wide and quickly spread a barrier on his back, but it was too late.

She was thrown forward by the shock she felt in her back.

Pain as if my back were being torn apart. Imsol closed his eyes tightly as he felt the strongest pain he had felt in a long time.

“Did you get rid of it?”

Lee Ho-yeon, who gave Im Sol a blow, lifted the rune barrier and saved his magic power.

I hit the spiral hard on the back, so it must have hurt quite a bit. I wonder if the professor will be okay.

Lee Ho-yeon, who was worried about Im Sol, looked into space.

Gauge is 80 to 65

Surprisingly, he was ahead by 80.

The gauge was reduced by 35 with just one attack.

Holding back for a short period of time created using high-level magic was effective.

With the Blood Beat maxed out and Ark’s help, the Rune Barrier was able to escape Imsol’s magic detection.

Until now, fighting in close combat has never been shown in front of Im Sol.

It was an attack aimed at that gap.

‘You can’t give me more time.’

We have to push it like this.

Hoyeon Lee quickly followed behind Imsol.

but.

Jiying-

The bright light that suddenly covered the space made Lee Ho-yeon close her eyes.

A short time of less than 1 second.

Lee Ho-yeon unfolded the rune barrier, widened the distance, and opened his eyes.

What you see before your eyes are dozens of magic circles floating in the air, shining brilliantly.

And Imsol, standing in front of him, was covered in blue magical energy.

Her momentum made the training ground tremble.

This was Imsol’s sincerity mode that we saw when he prevented the magic fair terror attack.

Imsol unfolded his magic, and the huge magic circles slowly began to rotate and glow.

Bang- Bang- Bang- Bang-

Four pillars of light falling from the air.

It was like seeing an angel come down from heaven.

The surrounding space has completely changed into Imsol’s territory.

A pressure so strong that it was difficult to breathe penetrated into Lee Ho-yeon’s organs.

I somehow tried to open the rune barrier, but the rune barrier shattered like glass as soon as it touched the pillar of light.

Ugh- Ugh-

The magical energy in the training ground trembled, and the magical membrane covering my body also began to vibrate.

‘I think this is messed up.’

The magical power felt was unusual.

Can the training ground withstand such magic?

‘If I hold on to this, the person who created this training center, not me, will have to go catch the demon lord.’

Hoyeon Lee thought as she looked into Imsol’s eyes.

Imsol’s eyes were exactly the same as at the magic fair.

Those cold eyes that cannot be stopped even if you try to stop them.

That person is probably so excited by the sparring that she doesn’t even recognize her husband-to-be.

… Probably not?

Jiying-

“Imsol! Stop!”

at that time. Baek Ah-young, who came to the training ground, shouted loudly, and at the same time, Im Sol regained his senses.

“… uh?”

Embarrassed, Imsol looked around.

The training facility facilities were completely destroyed.

and… Even the disciple who was trapped between the pillars of light he had summoned.

“Disciple. No, Hoyeon?!”

“Professor. I’m fine, so please remove the magic first….”

“Oh, okay. Right now.”

Im Sol quickly released his magic and ran to Ho-yeon Lee, and only then did Ho-yeon Lee get up.
