episode_0105

It felt like I would be struck by lightning at any moment.

Ellen didn’t move at all.

“… … !”

Rather, it was to the point where Nia, who had been sincerely angry, was embarrassed.

Should I stop now, when the tip of the cane starts shaking?

Swish.

Nia’s vision was turned upside down.

Just a moment ago, I was following Elin.

I blinked and found myself running to the end of the training ground.

Kagakak.

Just before crashing into the wall.

Nia stopped by striking her staff on the ground.

I looked back.

“… Portal.”

A dimensional gate floating in the air.

Only then did I understand what had just happened.

Elin opened a portal and moved Nia, who was running towards her, to the other side.

“Ugh… I couldn’t even see it.”

Bena, whose palms were sweating, let out the breath she had been holding.

“I’m glad you got out safely.”

“Huh?”

“If there had been even the slightest mistake, Nia would have been torn to pieces.”

A portal is something that distorts and allows passage through another dimension.

In other words, it was a task of connecting the road by forcibly inserting a third space.

It’s something that’s impossible to even attempt without perfect spatial perception and delicate control.

What if I make even one tiny mistake?

Dimensions are distorted and everything inside the portal becomes distorted.

It would be fortunate if it stopped at the level of an explosion.

In severe cases, it can split into multiple dimensions and become a condition worse than death.

“Oh, oh, that was a really scary magic?”

“There must be a reason why no one uses it besides me.”

Bena recalled her experience of getting into a portal several times.

I swiped my goosebump-inducing arm.

Because the training ground was completely empty.

Luke’s kind commentary reached Nia’s ears as well.

“Huh… .”

Nia laughed awkwardly and swept back her bangs.

There was no sign of trying to use magic.

It means that Mana was created only after Nia’s attack began.

Invisible speed.

Creepy accuracy.

Full of confidence.

“I don’t think you need to enter the academy.”

Nia gripped her cane tightly.

I didn’t think it would be easy.

I didn’t know the gap would be this big.

“Right?”

A very faint smile appeared on Elin’s lips.

“I’ll rush in with the real intention of killing you.”

“Yeah. It was so… slow just now.”

A pure sentiment without any sense of deception.

Instead of feeling offended, Nia admitted it obediently.

Elin is much stronger than me.

If you let your guard down even a little, the attack will never reach you.

If so, then with all my heart.

No, more than that.

Kwuk.

Strengthens the body by circulating mana throughout the body.

It doesn’t look much different from how knights use their auras.

Nia, who condensed mana into her feet.

Ppaang-!

He charged forward, making a cannon sound.

Dismissed-!

A cane that points straight towards the chin.

Swish-

The location changes as the portal opens.

If we continue like this, we’re sure to hit a wall.

But it didn’t stop.

Ppaang-!

I unleashed my accumulated mana once more.

The direction immediately changes to the opposite direction.

Nia shoots out like a bullet once again.

Hurrah!

The flame spear, which had suddenly come close to her nose, aimed for Elin’s crown.

Boom-!

Exploding floor.

Elin was no longer there.

Woof-

Elin appeared from the other side.

This time, I traveled through the portal myself.

Ugh.

Nia gritted her teeth without realizing it.

This is the maximum speed.

It can’t get any faster than this.

But Ellen didn’t even snap her fingers.

It simply means that you are gathering mana and running away.

Nia asked at the relaxed look.

“Are you trying to stall for time?”

“Because I don’t want to hurt my sister.”

Elin shrugged.

It’s almost as if Nia will be badly hurt if the attack starts.

“Really… .”

When did my cute and soft little brother, who used to be held in my arms so obediently, grow up so much?

“Hoo.”

I took a deep breath.

The most confident close combat doesn’t even work.

We need to change our strategy.

Fortunately, Berkeley doesn’t just teach close combat.

“You can’t avoid them all.”

Boo-

The staff rotates.

The elements hanging from the ends stretch like lines, forming colorful circles.

Boo-

Water on the first lap.

Boo-

The second is dirt.

Boo-

Finally, the wind.

A wand that contains all five basic elements.

As Nia raised her hand.

Each element is compressed into one point.

“!”

Elin intuitively knew what kind of attack was coming.

Luke’s magic that compresses mana to the limit and fires it.

That’s because it looked like it had been coated with elements.

“Oh? Can’t you do that too?”

“I’m just imitating a little bit. What my brother or Nia uses is the original.”

Luke was impressed.

Even in close combat, no one at the student level would be able to win.

Even long-distance magic can already be utilized like that.

“I believe you won’t get hurt, Elin.”

Keying-

A flame that vibrates like crazy.

It soon becomes quiet.

It’s like the fully loaded state.

The flame element has passed its limit.

Taang-!

It flew towards its target at an invisible speed.

“… !”

Crunch.

A flame bullet trapped in a barrier.

This time, even Elin couldn’t open the portal.

If you can avoid or even drop a bullet, then run away right away.

Why would you be doing the next step?

Taang-!

It’s as if he won’t give me any time to think.

The wind bullet struck the barrier.

The power is not the only thing that is amazing.

At that moment, I thought that there would be no problem if I just injected mana into the barrier.

“… Huh?”

Hurrruk!

The wind bullet revived the flame bullet that had not yet gone out.

A barrier that quickly builds up burden.

“Is there another way? Or surrender.”

Nia wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled proudly.

It wasn’t the kind of expression you would make after truly beating your younger brother.

Isn’t Ellen’s case a little different?

A genius beyond the norm.

Even though he was a disciple of Luke, who was called the legend of the Academy.

It wasn’t strange that Nia was so happy.

but.

“It’s finished.”

“Whew… Still, Nia unnie wins?”

“No. The princess won.”

The duel isn’t over yet.

Because the large flame was melting the barrier, Nia couldn’t see it.

Exactly.

Ellen snapping her fingers.

“!”

I tried to fire all the elemental bullets that I had loaded late.

Chorrr-

Chains tore through space from all directions, binding Nia’s hands and feet.

“… … ?”

Being physically restricted doesn’t mean you can’t use magic.

Nia tilted her head and was about to activate it.

Shu-

The elemental bullets lost their power and fell apart.

“… … What is it?”

“You should have shot it sooner.”

Elin walking towards you from the other side.

He was approaching with his pure body, with the barrier removed.

Nia tried to ignite the element in her staff again.

Push-

As expected, the element subsided with a cute sound.

“Give up, sis. It’s no use no matter what you do.”

Only then did I realize.

The chains that bound my hands and feet sucked away my mana every time I tried to use magic.

“… Where did you learn this stuff?”

“I made it.”

“… … What?”

Nia’s expression became blank.

“The teacher also created his own magic at this age.”

“Right…?”

“Then there’s nothing I can’t do.”

Ellin tilted her head as if to ask what was strange.

I’ve already mastered spatial magic a long time ago.

Now, he had reached the point where he could reinterpret it in his own way and create his own unique magic.

* * * * *

“A chain that absorbs mana and transfers it to another dimension. It is a magic created by the princess.”

“Wow, wow… .”

Bena’s gaping mouth showed no sign of closing.

If a friend who used to watch puppet shows with shining eyes told me one day that he had created Goyu Mado, it would have been a natural reaction.

“Just in case, it’s not black magic.”

“I don’t think you can hear me?”

“That’s right.”

I told you in advance to prevent the route of being executed as a black magician.

The sound did not reach the ears of Nia and Bena, who were already absent-minded.

How many minutes was it like that?

“… … You’re really amazing, Elin.”

Nia, who had finally accepted reality, smiled bitterly.

A family of the greatest battle wizards, he has mastered the traditional magic of Berkeley.

Because he showed the fastest achievement, he was also called the Empire’s promising prospect beyond Bucklin.

But to think that he would be defeated without even touching a 5-year-old wizard.

If I hadn’t grown up with a genius like Luke, I might have burst into tears of frustration.

“Good job, Sister. I don’t know how good the prince is, but… I’ll definitely win.”

Elin lifted her crow’s feet and stroked Nia’s head.

No, there’s no need to raise your voice.

Chorus.

I adjusted the position of the chain to flip Nia over.

Dangling dangling.

Nia blinked as she hung upside down in the air.

“Elin?”

“I wanted to try it too.”

“… What?”

“Creating things.”

Elin squatting.

He grabbed Nia’s ball and said, “Chop!”

Elin was always the one being petted and touched because she was cute.

I was wondering what it was like to rush at him like that.

“Soft. I understand why you do this to me.”

I realized as I was fiddling with Nia’s balls.

So that’s how addictive it is to knead soft things!

“Can you please give me that?”

“Why?”

“… Are you embarrassed?”

Nia’s face turned red.

Maybe it was because I was hanging upside down and the blood was rushing to me.

I couldn’t tell if it was because of the shame of having to give in to my brother’s touch without being able to resist.

“I’ll give it to you in a bit.”

Of course, that wasn’t Ellen’s job.

Since this is a long-awaited opportunity, shouldn’t we make the most of it?

If there’s one problem.

“What’s going on? The training ground… Huh, isn’t that the chief?”

“You don’t think the chief is as carefree as you are. … The chief?”

“That’s right, Woo-chun.”

The students started to gather one by one because the training ground was so noisy.

therefore.

It meant that he had vividly witnessed the top student of his class being tied up in mid-air and being touched by a small outsider girl.

“Uh, um… Should I get that for you?”

“Then wouldn’t it be more embarrassing?”

As soon as they heard the shocking scene, the students’ worries flew away.

“Huh? It’s Luke.”

“By the way, isn’t the chief also Berklin?”

“Then I guess it’s a permitted sparring match.”

The students who were relieved to see Luke took their seats in the audience and watched.

Of course, Nia was going crazy.

“, Elin. Since I lost, can you please let me go? People are watching… .”

“I know you well.”

“Huh?”

“My sister lost and I won.”

“… But?”

“Then, Sister, you have no choice.”

“What the… Huh!?”

Elin, tired of the feel of the ball, moved her hand to Nia’s armpit.

The uniform, modified for combat, was sleeveless, leaving the armpits exposed.

Isn’t this begging to be touched?

Yeah, then you have to touch it.

Elin, who had been asking herself questions and drawing conclusions, started carelessly touching Nia’s armpit.

“You, you… Once you let go, I can’t forgive you… Gyahehe… !”

The hand movements are so vicious that it almost seems like it was done on purpose.

“It’s much softer here than it looks.”

“Hah…!?”

In fact, Ellen is not so innocent as to touch her armpit just because she is soft.

I just grew up being playful.

I just wanted to see the troubled expression on Nia’s face as she grew older.

“Ji, don’t you really need to save me?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just pretend not to see it and pass by…?”

At this point, even the students who had been watching and believing in Luke became confused.

Isn’t the top student being chained up and tickled?

But since Luke was still, I had the illusion that ‘maybe this is part of the training?’

Of course, Luke couldn’t have been thinking that way.

“Hey, can I just leave that there, Luke?”

“If you enjoy it moderately, won’t you let it go?”

“But my sister’s pride… … .”

“Nia must have learned something from defeat.”

There’s no need to save him if his life isn’t in danger.

Still, Luke lacked aristocratic sensibilities.

Rather, I think it’s fortunate that it’s not Luke hanging there.

A chain that sucks up mana.

If you think about it, isn’t it Luke’s hard counter?

It’s obvious that Luke, an escape expert, won’t be able to do anything if he’s tied up.

“Isn’t it a good thing that the princess isn’t an enemy?”

I meant it sincerely.

I’m glad I have Elin as my disciple.

At least Luke won’t be tied up.
