It’s anti-horsepower.

I heard that it is only effective in the case of magic that acts directly on me, such as curses or bindings, and that it does not prevent damage from direct attack magic such as fireball.

Still, does this mean that the magic power itself can be sensed clearly?

I could clearly feel the various magical powers circling around the male student.

I’m curious what kind of magic will be used, so let’s wait.

Because this is my first time dealing with a wizard.

“Ignis Sagitta!”

The male student lowered his cane.

Magical energy swirled and converged in the air, and four fiery arrows appeared.

what. Is it ultimately a fiery arrow?

Still, if you can activate four of them at the same time, it’s a useful thing.

The arrows, which were roaring and burning fiercely, seemed to have clearly forgotten how to control their power.

okay. I guess I should be generous with this level. Because I would be scared.

Four fiery arrows flew in different trajectories.

If the magic had a shape, it could probably be dissipated by impact, right?

First, he pulled out his dagger and threw it away, aiming for a flaming arrow.

The fiery arrow collided with the dagger fired like a bullet, bursting into pieces and scattering sparks.

The black, burnt dagger fell helplessly to the floor.

Swing the long sword and cut down the other one.

With a small explosion, the sword body slightly broke.

…Because it is simple steel, it may not be able to withstand shock.

He swings his sword one after another and cuts down the third arrow.

The tip of the sword broke and vomited out metal pieces.

He charged at the male student.

I just blocked the last arrow with my armor.

The fiery arrow stuck in his shoulder was unable to pierce the armor and was scattered in vain.

The male student urgently drew his cane.

A flow of magical power swirled around me.

The next moment, my body heated up, and the magic around me dissipated.

Is this the feeling of anti-magic power being activated?

I think they were probably trying to cast a binding spell or something. Too bad.

He grabbed the collar of the male student who was frozen in shock and slammed him to the floor.

– Cooo!

The male student was foaming at the mouth, stretched out his limbs, and trembled.

“Next.”

—-

The last man to step forward was the young wizard who had been staring at me confidently earlier.

Her neat blonde hair, cut straight from her shoulders, was shiny, as if she had taken good care of it.

His face looked somewhat androgynous due to his sharp jawline and sharp eyes.

His walking movements were full of grace and confidence, and the gold-decorated ruby glowed red at the tip of the staff he held in his hand.

In terms of the pressure being felt, it’s probably greater than Millia and less than Damian.

Both in terms of ability and appearance, I don’t think he’s the kind of guy who would be obsessed with money that’s just about tuition fees.

“Okay. Your skills are useful, barbarian. Lady Sigmillus deserves a recommendation.”

“You deserve to be sold for a pittance, you gisaeng brother.”

Since they started arguing with me all the time, I responded in the same way.

A faint tendon rose between the man’s eyebrows.

“Do you think I set out to earn pocket money? If it weren’t for Lady Sigmillus’ request, why would there be any reason to engage in a vulgar fight with a barbarian like you?”

So you’re saying that Ophelia specifically requested it?

I slowly turned my head and looked at Ophelia.

She smiled softly at me and exhaled cigarette smoke calmly.

Hmm. Now that you have become a partner, are you saying you want to check my skills properly?

Well, okay. Let’s try it.

“Don’t be distracted and prepare properly, you barbarian. Time is precious.”

“Ah, yes. If you get hit once, that savage sound will be heard. I will change your face to look very manly.”

He growled and prepared his weapons.

The longsword was broken and the dagger was half burned, so new weapons were needed.

I asked Kaline and received four daggers and one long sword.

While I was throwing it away, I also took a metal gauntlet and put it on my left hand.

It won’t be able to be used to scratch or stab like frost, but it will be enough to block and beat down.

I might get hurt a little too. Because it can’t generate electricity.

“Then let’s conduct the final sparring. Hashar Aishangior, Kenneth Bernstein. To each location.”

Standing in the center of the parade ground, I faced the other person.

The three who fought earlier had already been taken to the infirmary a long time ago.

…The staff in the infirmary must be very busy.

By the way, it’s Kenneth Bernstein. It’s also a name I don’t know.

That means he’s not a particularly important person.

I pulled out my long sword and glared at the enemy in front of me.

An arrogant wizard pointing his wand with a relaxed expression.

The sparring has begun.

—-

Kick off the ground and rush forward.

The ground that touched my toes cracked, scattering fragments.

I had no intention of waiting for him to complete his magic like the previous student.

I didn’t think he was someone I could deal with in such a relaxed manner.

“Hmm, for now-”

Kenneth flicked his cane lightly.

Four swirling streams of magic wrapped around my limbs.

“Haaa!”

The magical power was shattered and scattered. Binding magic doesn’t work on me.

Rush without stopping.

Before we knew it, we were five steps closer.

“As expected, is it anti-horsepower? If so.”

-Quarring!

With a thunderous roar, a bolt of lightning flew out.

I reflexively pulled out my dagger and threw it aside.

As the thunderbolt flowed towards the dagger, its trajectory was greatly distorted.

– Howling!

Streams of fire poured out of the air.

He put his foot down sharply, stopped, and rolled to the side.

The pouring stream of fire set the floor on fire, sending a searing heat to my back.

He kicked the ground and rushed forward once again.

The enemy was in front of us.

He struck down his long sword with hostility.

The sword body, unable to withstand the pressure, bent like a whip.

– Kaaang!

A barrier made of tightly woven magical energy blocked the long sword.

The barrier was shattered with a single blow, but the body of the long sword was also greatly bent.

He extended his left hand like a rake towards Kenneth’s neck.

I’ll crush half of your windpipe like this.

“Get away!”

The magic power becomes a shock wave and is shot out in all directions.

I blocked it with both arms, but my body was unable to withstand the pressure and was pushed backwards.

Before we knew it, the distance had grown to six steps again.

…It was a tougher opponent than I thought.

One dagger lost, the long sword will break if you swing it three or four times…

First of all, I have no choice but to avoid it as much as possible and try to approach it somehow by utilizing these things.

– Damn it!

While I was thinking about it, ice rising from the floor caught my feet.

Restraint magic itself can be blocked by anti-magic power, but does this mean that anti-magic power is also useless against physical restraint like this?

The restraint may not have been very solid, but when I stamped my foot with all my strength, the ice shattered.

Soon, three ice spears flew in.

He swung his sword and cut through one ice spear, and smashed the other one with his left arm.

The shattered ice fragments reflected sunlight and scattered it in a chaotic manner.

The long sword was almost folded in half.

“Kaaat!”

He turned his body to avoid the remaining ice spear and charged again.

Three fireballs fly out.

He threw the dagger to cancel out two fireballs, and dodged the remaining one by simply rolling forward.

An explosion echoed behind me, and my body accelerated forward due to the wind pressure.

“Now there’s only one dagger left?”

Kenneth grinned and aimed his wand.

Three bolts of lightning rained down from the tip of the staff.

damn.

He threw away the dagger and the long sword. The swords soaked in lightning spewed out sparks and fell around.

I just held on to the last one with my body.

A lightning strike went through me.

“K…Ugh!”

A burning sensation runs through all the nerves of my body.

The sight before my eyes flashed white, but soon turned red.

Instinct starts to grind your teeth. Why are you struggling with this guy?

I shout fiercely, telling you to bite that guy’s neck off with all your might right now.

no. Not yet.

Not yet. This isn’t the power to use on a guy like this.

I gritted my teeth, endured it, and ran.

There was a burning smell in my exhaled breath.

“You say you can endure it…?!”

Did he think it was the final blow? Kenneth, who was astonished, hastily built a barrier.

I let go of both the dagger and the long sword, and there was already nothing left in my hands.

doesn’t care.

That’s it.

“Kaaa!”

With a sharp left hand, the blue barrier shattered into pieces.

“What..!”

The gauntlet was crushed and dug into the back of my hand. Does not matter.

Kenneth’s collar touched my outstretched hand.

at las.

“-Gotcha.”

The corners of my mouth rose in joy.

because that.

I couldn’t control the impulse I had suppressed for a moment.

Kenneth’s shoulder was torn in half.

Thick blood spurted out, staining my hair red.

Not yet.

The raised knee dug into my ribs.

Four ribs broke at the same time and Kenneth vomited blood.

Not yet.

The left foot that came down crushed the top of Kenneth’s foot, and the tip of the right foot, which was swung like a whip, crushed Kenneth’s leg bones.

His body was wasted.

die.

I stretched out my right hand and grabbed Kenneth’s head as he fell, adding even more strength to my fingertips.

The fingers dug into my head and began to crush my skull little by little.

Kenneth let out a desperate scream and trembled.

“Stop, stop! That’s it!”

Kaline’s voice shouting hurriedly reached my ears.

I absent-mindedly relaxed my grip.

—-

I looked blankly at Kenneth being taken to the infirmary on a stretcher, then turned my attention to the surroundings.

Most of them were looking at my blood-soaked figure with pale expressions of fear.

I shook my head roughly because my wet hair was bothering me.

Drops of blood flew everywhere. The surrounding students backed away as if frightened.

It was the scene I had intended… but I can’t help but feel heavy in my heart.

Ophelia was seen smiling with her eyes shining.

okay. I liked my skills.

I returned to my seat, leaving behind the gazes that showed nothing but fear.

All the students sitting next to me moved away.

I took out a cigarette from my pocket and closed my eyes.

The blood-soaked cigarette was bitter.
