“Then are you ready?”

The moment she heard my voice, a certain emotion slowly bloomed on the girl’s face as she looked at me.

Her eyes staring at me looked somewhat innocent, but they also seemed to contain a bit of regret.

“Yes. I’m ready.”

“What is it? Why is that reaction today?”

After leaving that face, the girl let out a slightly bitter smile and took a stance towards me.

A stance in which both hands are extended one after another and the body is twisted diagonally, similar to the Taekwondo sparring stance.

Even after taking a stance to attack the opponent, he puts on an awkward smile on his face, like a child forcing himself to brag, as if there is something on his mind.

“Oh, that’s because my skills are growing so quickly. that… It’s difficult to control the force properly. It’s just a sparring match, so I was wondering if I might be rude to the professor… .”

“From what I heard, there was an accident. I heard that a clairvoyant named Ronnie Hamston bent his back.”

“Oh, that’s it. The kid suddenly put an arm around my shoulder, so I just reflexively turned to look at him. The hand I turned accidentally hit that kid in the stomach… .”

“You didn’t even mean to hit me. In some ways, it’s truly amazing.”

“Yes… .”

She responds to my words with a shy smile.

The voice is filled with laughter, but there is no joy in it whatsoever. Rather low and quiet.

There was a wave of magical energy that conveyed a sense of concern, and the atmosphere was already blue and cold.

I call each of my students periodically to check their achievements.

The people gathered at the Academy are truly diverse.

Since there are awakened people from all over the world, things like race, personality, and appearance are truly unique.

Therefore, the same applies to achievement.

While some people achieved a level of achievement that could truly be called a daily achievement, there were others who did not actually show much difference from when they entered the academy.

And when it comes to those electrons, there are several people who come to mind.

There’s Gideon, Jang A-hyun, and Han Se-jun too.

Jimmy seems to have hit a wall these days, and his achievements are a bit slow.

However, if I had to name a person who is synonymous with Ilchwiwoljang, it would be him.

‘It’s this kid.’

Yes.

A child with the ability of Yonghwa.

Dragon Lady. It was Yoon Sia.

“That… sorry. I guess I was a little presumptuous.”

I also understand to some extent what she is worried about now.

He must be worried that too rapid a rise in power might harm me.

It was well worth it.

But even after hearing that girl’s voice, I just blinked and looked at the dragon horn-headed child in front of me.

“… You’re cocky.”

“Yes?”

I, too, began to lose momentum little by little against her magical waves.

A tingling force begins to flow from my body, which I would not normally feel, but which at first glance makes me feel no different from an ordinary person.

I intentionally gave her that strong presence and twisted the corner of my mouth as I glared at her.

“I understand that you have become stronger, but this goes beyond the topic. Do you think you can inflict even one effective hit on me now?”

“Oh, no, I didn’t mean it that way… Sorry.”

Even though the garnet-like eyes of the girl with long black hair turned downward toward me, I did not shift my gaze at her.

She is a precious person to me, a demigod who is no longer an indispensable part of me.

Nevertheless, there is something she also needs to know.

No matter how hard she tries, she can’t do even the slightest bit of damage to me.

In the first place, I could confidently say that there was no being on this earth who could kill me as I am now.

No, there must be only one thing. The only thing that can kill me is myself.

Even though the edge of the blade has become a little dull after crossing into this world and being with many people for a long time,

Nevertheless, there is no one anywhere who can deny me. The same goes for Archdemon Alexstras.

“So, try your best. It’s been a while since we last sparred, so I won’t relax either.”

“Ah! Yes, I understand, Professor.”

She smiles brightly and tells me the answer.

The hesitating thoughts in my heart have disappeared and flown away, and I let out a deep, light breath as if only the feeling of relief remained.

“Then, I’ll go, Professor.”

I also nodded lightly with my eyes and expressed my approval to her.

And that moment.

─The child flew in the sky.

“… !”

I realized that fact long before my eyes, which had been looking down after bowing, returned to their proper position.

Therefore, it was too late to launch a counterattack.

Her toes were pointing towards my face, tearing the air, or rather, as if she had torn through space and appeared in front of me in an instant.

Although she has a very solid body with a lot of muscle, she still gives the impression that she is somewhat slim.

There wasn’t even a single flaw in the process of making such an absurd leap, tearing through the air and kicking me with a body like that.

It was not human martial arts.

No matter how powerful a person is, they cannot achieve this level of acceleration.

As I unleashed the polymorph, she was at the mercy of the martial arts skills I unleashed with the dragon’s body.

‘still. Not yet.’

I instinctively wrapped my right hand in magic and took a defensive stance, overlapping my left hand in an X shape, as if covering my face.

And within a few comma seconds, her swinging foot kicked my arm.

Paaang!

‘Hoo.’

You feel a heavy, dull sensation in your arm, and the tingling sensation further amplifies the dull sensation.

Rather than ‘kicking’ me by swinging his foot at me just now, the impact was more like ‘hitting’ me with a huge piece of heavy equipment like an excavator.

If I hadn’t been covered in magic, my arms would have already been bruised black and white. No, it’s not that bad. Maybe the bones in my arm were shattered.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have just been crushed with a mint and turned into a bloody mess without even having to stop or sleep.

It was so monstrous that it was futile to resist to that extent.

‘It’s a series of attacks, the second attack is coming.’

At the same time, the tingling pain felt in the throbbing arm travels up the nerves and tries to convey the pain to the head.

The girl who took a big leap upward while kicking me stomped her foot loudly again.

There is no space in the sky. In other words, there won’t even be any stepping stones to get there.

She kicks up her foot as if something has stepped on the horse, spins around once again, and slams her foot down towards me again as if she were slamming down a huge weight.

“Huh.”

Did the air rise at an incredible speed? I guess that’s what it is.

It’s impossible for her to have the ability to control air, and she can’t use magic like me, so I don’t understand it physically, but she must have done that.

No, there was no other way to explain it.

He swung his arm and tried to push away the blow that was swung so hard that she couldn’t even recognize it.

A small magic missile fires from my hand and hits her in the shin.

“Ah!”

When my magic hit the side of her foot, which was hitting at an incredible speed, her trajectory went astray.

She is seen suddenly swinging her arms to get into position, as if trying to straighten her out-of-balance body.

I won’t leave it like that.

I also swung my foot and caught her foot, which was out of position, and lifted it up.

Her back bends like a ball bouncing in the air.

“Kicking is a good attack, but it is very risky if you lose your balance.”

And in her defenseless body,

Whoa!

“Aaaah!”

I put my foot in it.

A booming sound was heard.

The sound of tearing the air was heard as he kicked the bold, long-haired disciple at a speed that was comparable to hers.

But the binge drinking is not one, but two. And one of them was a slightly sharp sound, like something breaking.

Stinging!

I felt something tingling at my feet, so I quickly kicked my feet and jumped backwards.

As I take a leap, I look down at my feet and see small pieces of rock stuck in the bottom of my pants.

‘is it.’

My gaze is directed directly below.

The special hardness pressed packaging material on the gym floor was broken, and when I saw it, I honestly let out an exclamation of admiration.

When I lifted her foot up in the air, she swung her hand and struck the floor hard, gaining her balance and attacking me at the same time.

Coo!

As I was shaking off my pants, I heard a distant sound that sounded like someone being thrown into a wall.

She was thrown and landed on the outer wall of the gym with a loud sound.

Although she was thrown into the wall at quite an incredible speed, it would not have done any damage to her, who possessed tremendous physical ability.

I immediately fire the magic missile again toward the place where the sound originated.

Light arises from her hand, and three white shooting stars head straight towards her.

“Eight!”

And what followed immediately was a sound like a firecracker exploding.

Recognizing the situation, she immediately got up and ran towards me.

The sound just now was the sound of all my magic missiles being destroyed by her punch, causing a small explosion and disappearing.

Isn’t this surprising?

“It’s ridiculously underground.”

Magic Missile is a basic attack magic, but it is a powerful magic that has enough physical force to blow away a small sedan.

The power is strong enough to destroy my magic by swinging a fist without even having to block it.

“It’s really too much to be a dragon. It’s completely against the rules. Such a ridiculous being exists in this world.”

“What are you talking about? That too from the professor!”

“Heh.”

This time, flames started burning in my hands.

Crimson flames, like those of the flame-power Jimmy, begin to dance like crazy on both arms.

As she charged towards me, she saw my actions in her eyes and came towards me and swung her fist.

A red flame appears in her ruby-like pupils as it passes through my eyes.

It pushes away the coiling flames like a snake flicking its tongue.

Her fist flies towards my chest like a sharp, well-forged sword, literally crushing the flames.

Like a giant excavator trying to break a huge rock, an overwhelming force is rushing towards me, threatening to crush everything.

“I have good strength, but I don’t have the knack yet.”

There was the sound of a chin or a fist hitting the palm.

Her attack didn’t hit me. I put my palm out on my chest, where her fist was heading, and blocked her hand.

Her attack was blocked by me.

But that’s not the end.

At the same time, my palm, which was holding the fist that was swinging at me, was strongly pulled towards me,

Whoa!

Just like that, I swung my free left hand and slammed my elbow into her chest, where her guard was empty, like a hammer trying to hit a rivet.

“… Wow!”

Letting out a peculiar scream that seemed not to be her own voice, she was once again blown away by the explosion and landed against the wall.

The flames flowing down my arm focused on her and caused an explosion.

‘If you saw me preparing a spell, you should have ducked for a moment and observed the situation. I guess I’m not very wary of magic power.’

She has no magical talent. Of course, it seems like there were some achievements as the skill grew, but it was still a strangely unbalanced growth direction.

However, if you lose something, you also gain something, and although she had a low understanding of magical power, she gained tremendous physical abilities.

Therefore, each of her attacks may be powerful, but her vigilance toward mana seemed to be low as her understanding of mana was low.

There was a time when I thought about secretly teaching her my Mana exercises, but I quickly gave up on that idea.

For her with low Mana affinity, this practice called Luminescence was no different from a suicide method perfect for dying while training.

‘I think your fighting sense is really good. ‘Sia’s attack was more of an intuitive response rather than a stereotypical one.’

With a little more tweaking, it will become truly excellent.

It will be a result that everyone has no choice but to acknowledge.

“K… Ah.”

A moaning sound is heard from the woman pinned against the wall.

When I looked closely, I saw that my whole body was twitching a little.

Blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and it looked like her sharp fangs were tearing her lip.

The girl, whose body was bent upside down and holding her stomach after being hit, tried to get up again by leaning on the wall, but it didn’t seem to be working.

‘uh?’

I thought this would be okay. That didn’t seem to be the case.

I thought it was a counterattack that took into account her physical abilities, but maybe it was a bit stronger than I thought?

There are cracks in the exterior walls of the gymnasium, which was built with enough strength and thickness to block a missile that hit her.

When my magic hit, there was a loud sound.

Just like that, the magic flew straight into his defenseless chest.

It is obvious that the inside is a mess.

It is rather strange that even if it were her, the magic that could easily blow away the outer wall of a building was hit on her bare, defenseless skin, so it ended up bursting and bleeding.

“Trigram, are you okay!”

A noise-like voice came out of my mouth and I was so startled that I ran towards her.

“Gyo… Professor.”

“Ah-no. Well, okay, let’s go to the emergency room first. I am so sorry. Because I can’t control my strength.”

The words that came out of my mouth were like bullets.

Surprised that I had hurt my precious treasure, I suddenly felt like something was rising and I picked her up.

Her back is already bent and she is letting out a faint moan.

I feel like those moans are tearing my heart apart. I picked her up with a movement reminiscent of a bouncing spring and started running as if bouncing.

Then suddenly she gently grabs my wrist.

“Professor.”

“Yes, Sia. Let’s go to the emergency room quickly.”

Just right.

As I spoke out the embarrassed words at her call, I felt a slight tingling sensation in my chest.

When I looked down, I saw that she was hugging me and lightly flicked my chest with her finger.

“Hehe, effective hit. I fed it.”

“… Huh?”

Suddenly she winked and lightly kissed my cheek.

The atmosphere changed so quickly that I, too, froze while holding her.

“It’s okay. It’s a little tingly though. Umm… I don’t think it’s to the point of going to the emergency room. Do you think it will get better if you just rest a little?”

“… Are you really okay?”

“Yes. It’s still improving rapidly. Huh… You are strong as expected. On the contrary, I used a slightly cowardly move and attacked first, but it still ended up like this… Oh, by the way, I’m sorry for surprising you before you even finished saying hello.”

“No, it’s probably okay to do that now. Is this really okay? Are you saying that to reassure me?”

How dare you say something like this to a subject who has been attacked so strongly, to a subject who has been attacked beyond the level of sparring.

I asked her in a voice full of regret.

Then she smiled brightly and looked at me.

“… I’m glad you care about me so much. Elm seems to really care about me. I am a very happy person to receive such feelings in person. Hehe.”

“… .”

“It’s okay. Please continue to do this in the future. Please don’t worry about what happened today. I really learned a lot today. Because I learned why wounds disappear quickly, but the learning from those wounds lasts forever.”

She hugged me lightly.

It is not a harsh hug with her strong strength, but a light hug that feels truly considerate.

I lightly stroked her messy hair, feeling her warm heart being transferred to me.

at that time.

“What are you two doing now?”

“!”

Suddenly a voice was heard from behind.

Startled by the sound, I pushed her away and reflexively looked back.

There, Helen, with a folder at her side, was looking at us curiously.

From the looks of it, it looks like they came looking for me on some organization’s behalf.

“Ah… That’s it.”

Since when has she been around? Did you see everything that just happened?

I closed my mouth, feeling my hair stand up due to his sudden appearance.
