“How on earth is that possible?”
How is that really possible?
“How do I know? You said it. Since I said I would be training at a closed facility during the vacation, I thought I had developed my skills to that extent.”
“No, it doesn’t make sense to improve your skills.”
“You’re an Auror master, so why are you questioning it? You’ve been wanting to go there since before you became an Auror Master. I thought that at that level, I could see that level of growth.”
I don’t know exactly what happened.
But what is certain is that there could be huge repercussions.
You can still see it now.
Because the way people around me look at me has become strange.
“Obviously… at that time… ”
“Hey… Let’s not look. Sparks fly for no reason.”
“So is that actually true? No, Golden Horseman, even if you call him Golden Horseman, how can a first-year cadet cut off the president’s arm?”
“It’s because I didn’t see you then. Did he really fight like a mad dog and then suddenly grab both hands like this and tear off his arms?”
If you listen to the description, I don’t know exactly what happened.
I felt like I had shown something really great.
How on earth is that possible?
The reason my memory disappeared was probably due to the president’s skills.
“I don’t know what happened… First of all, I guess I wasn’t in my right mind?”
“You’re not really in your right mind.”
“Apart from that, why did I rip off my arm? If he was defenseless enough to rip off his arm, he would have ripped off his leg. Then you will be able to win even more easily.”
The basics of any battle are steps.
It is common knowledge that in boxing, feet are more important than fists.
Maybe it’s a swordsman who can’t use sword techniques because he can’t use aura emission.
For anyone capable of long-distance attacks, the lack of mobility gives them an overwhelming advantage.
Even if long-distance attacks are not possible, having the right to attack first is a huge advantage.
“Do you think about that even in that situation?”
“So how did you feel? Was it like me? Or did it seem like something else went into it?”
This is important.
If I were normal, I reached the chancellor, an opponent I would never be able to reach unless I awakened as an Auror and revealed my stigmata.
In the worst case, you may be possessed by something.
I too have been reincarnated, so you shouldn’t think that I won’t be possessed.
“First of all, it was very different from usual.”
“How was it different?”
“What should you say in everyday life? Are you saying that they fought in a way that showed psychological superiority? Unless you can overwhelm your opponent.”
“Yes.”
“But at that time, you just rushed forward.”
“You just rushed in?”
“Uh. And you throw a wooden sword, break it, fight with pieces, break the floor, use it as a weapon, and use all sorts of techniques? I’m not sure because it’s similar to how you usually are.”
Not being limited by weapons is my fighting style.
But that’s to gain a psychological advantage, not to use teeth or gums.
The same goes for fighting in an all-out war.
Since I know some of the president’s skills, if not all of them, I just need to look for loopholes in the president’s skills.
But that means…
‘What on earth is this? Possession? Or another personality within me? ‘A side effect of stigmata?’
The potential was great, but nothing worked out.
These are all conditions that can never be known.
“Hey. Theseus. Tell me everything. What happened when I fought?”
To do that, I needed to know everything.
What happened and what were the results.
“Then listen carefully. This is explained from my perspective, so I just filtered it out and listened.”
“I understand, so hurry up.”
“Okay.”
Theseus said two days before I fainted. I started going back to the memories of that time.
========
“Then, the sparring begins. 3… 2… One… Sparring begins!”
The referee’s words announcing the start of the sparring ring out.
The president immediately began casting magic.
A translucent light mixed with light pink and white emerges from the president’s body.
The commander-in-chief is a battle mage who operates alone.
Because to him, chanting simply exposes strategies.
In sparring, he faced his opponent without chanting for the first time in a long time.
Kwaaang ㅡ
A huge force emerges and threatens to attack Abraxas.
Abraxas evades the attack by rolling through the boundaries of energy like a ball rolling.
While avoiding the enormous force, Abraxas lightly stabbed the wooden sword.
It was a clean, concise movement.
Whiik ㅡ
But the wizard must act alone.
This means that self-reflection is also necessary.
Pakㅡ
Sergei easily blocked Abraxas’ sword as it approached.
A part where the sword exerts little force.
The attack was blocked by hitting the side of the sword.
“Auror? Did you know how to write?”
“… Do you think this world is some kind of board game? Just like you also know how to use magic. I can also use Aurors.”
This world is not a game.
Why can’t wizards learn Auror skills?
There is no reason why a knight cannot learn magic.
It’s just that magic and aura oppose each other, making it difficult to learn both.
The sword missed, and Abraxas was temporarily left unable to defend himself.
Sergei did not miss this opportunity and continued his attack.
They attacked him when his central defense was empty.
Pacha-
A huge white and light pink aura came out of his hand and ran towards Abraxas.
An unavoidable situation.
Everyone kept thinking about how Abraxas would avoid it.
He once again exceeded the audience’s imagination.
Instead of dodging the attack itself, he was hit.
“What… ?”
Sergei must have been taken aback by this as well, and the words came out.
However, what happened after this was once again beyond imagination.
Damn it~
“!!!”
Abraxas’ body was clearly ‘hit’ by the attack.
However, his body was literally ‘broken’.
Just like pottery breaking.
For an instant, a chill fills the room.
Although it was clear from the president’s reaction that this was not what the president intended.
The president is also human.
A being who makes mistakes.
People naturally thought that the most likely scenario was that the Chancellor had failed to control his strength and crushed Abraxas with one blow.
Especially since most people don’t know the details about the president’s magic.
But then.
Faba Park ㅡ
Suddenly, the ground begins to tremble and something explodes.
It was as if a bomb had been buried deep inside the ground and exploded.
When everyone can’t help but feel embarrassed. Sergei saw that and immediately rushed there.
This is because he already realized that the situation in which Abraxas was broken was the same as the situation shown by the Sword Saint before.
Sergei knew his magic.
He was aware of Abraxas’ skills to some extent, so he noticed it.
Abraxas rose from the ground and Sergei immediately kicked him.
Pakㅡ
However, he is a knight who became an Auror Master.
No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he would lose in close combat with a wizard.
Abraxas blocks the attack with one hand.
Sergei immediately activates magic from a distance.
However, even in this incident, Abraxas used additional techniques.
Damn it~
Both sides were floating in the sky.
Because it is difficult to change direction while floating in the air, Abraxas aimed for that point.
After making the skin again, he took it off and landed on the ground.
Sergei’s attack was aimed at Abraxas’ weakness.
Abraxas was able to approach Sergei from lower ground.
If you reach the level, you can control it.
So it goes without saying that you can’t do better than locking yourself on the ground.
Before I knew it, Abraxas was sending out sword energy through the Heavenly Sword he had pulled out.
The president could not avoid it.
Just~
But it couldn’t be avoided.
It was possible to stop it.
The body cannot move without support.
Horsepower doesn’t matter.
Sergei immediately created a kind of shield using magic power to block the sword energy.
But Sergei’s eyebrows furrowed.
It wasn’t because I couldn’t stop it.
The problem was that it was blocked too well.
“Damn.”
“Haha.”
“Are they starting psychological warfare?”
“If you don’t have that, how can you win?”
“Did you intend to win?”
“If you weren’t going to win, why did you win? It’s normal to try to win somehow.”
This world is not a game.
A technique to completely block an attack in one hit?
There is no such thing.
It’s just a simple idea of blocking and breaking through.
And it is power that decides the easy choice.
How hard you attack and how hard you block.
“Tsk tsk. If you had trained your skills, you would have fought me more easily. How on earth does one acquire such residual talent?”
“War of attrition is a great strategy? Why don’t you go to the strategist and say what he said?”
In this world, barring something special, there is no way to know how powerful the opponent attacked.
So the main focus is usually avoiding it.
If it breaks through, it will cause great damage.
This is because a close defense is impossible, so greater force must be used to block it.
This is what Abraxas did.
When there was an opportunity to attack, a weak attack was used.
Sergei expected a very powerful attack and injected a lot of magical energy into it.
Unfortunately, my attack fell far short of that.
It meant that I won the psychological battle.
“Do you think this will be big?”
“Isn’t this what you want to hear from someone who fired fire in terms of durability rather than firepower during the fight against the Lion Army?”
Let’s have a quick diss with each other.
Confirm the other person’s intention once again.
Both sides still had the will to fight.
“Are you relieved of your anger?”
“No. I still feel dizzy just thinking about what you did.”
Up until this point, Abraxas had been just like his usual self.
A person who inflicts injury on opponents of all might through a fluke.
But Abraxas also knew.
Sergei also knew something, but was not sure about it.
“!? Ugh ㅡ”
Abraxas suddenly has a seizure.
Sergei felt strange at that sight.
A sudden appearance.
However, soon thinking about the possibility that it was psychological warfare, I launched a simple attack at him.
however. He didn’t dodge the attack.
No, I couldn’t do it exactly.
Abraxas, hit by the attack, flew straight and fell to the ground.
There was no significant movement.
I was just slowly getting up and repeating the same actions.
“Phewㅡ Haaㅡ Huuuu Heheㅡ”
Abraxas breathing in and out regularly.
It felt like my excitement was subsiding, like someone who had consumed too much caffeine.
The first person to speak to such a strange sight was Sergei.
“You. Are you okay?”
Abraxas answered him.
“Sure… ? I don’t know either… ? Why is this like this? Is something strange? what? I don’t know either? Why are you doing this? Is something strange?
It seems like my head is working just fine… Are you feeling excited and having a hard time calming down? Why on earth? huh? Something is strange?”
It was around that time that Sergei and other cadets at the Imperial Academy began to have doubts.
He was panting as if he was excited.
Seeing the eyes half-opened.
Even in this situation, I was losing my mind as if I couldn’t hold back my laughter.
“I remember… What was it… ? I think I forgot something… I just can’t remember?
Something about my memory disappearing, something strange… Does it come to mind? what? Strange?”
ha ha ha?
Abraxas laughs as if he has lost his mind.
And when Sergei heard the word memory, a hypothesis passed through his mind.
‘My skills… To prevent dealing with a strategy once used… It causes short-term memory flashes.
You can use those skills even if you hit a target, but… Basically, you can scatter it.’
Sergei is not a wizard who raises his level, but a combat wizard who learned magic for battle.
Therefore, his technique had to be considered based on how effective he was in combat rather than his outstanding technique.
It is a great advantage to be able to use a successful operation again.
If you do well, you may be able to win with just that attack.
So he developed a delirium technique. succeded.
Of course, if the enemy is revenge, the meaning will be greatly diminished.
Since no one knew that fact, the enemy did not know that they did not know the information.
Teamwork broke down and we were able to win in the end.
‘Looking at my memories, it looks like the problem may have been caused by something I left scattered around… As the memory was erased, did something else come to mind? Mine only applies to short-term memory… ‘What the heck?’
What makes reality different from games is the aftermath.
This is because in reality, unknown things create strange synergies and create strangeness.
“Huuuu… … … ”
Sergei also thought that was such a case.
It is caused by a temporary memory-related problem.
I thought it was just a matter of constitution.
But it didn’t take long for his thoughts to change.
Pangㅡ
Abraxas rushed at Sergei with a very simple movement.
Abraxas holds a wooden sword in both hands and charges at incredible speed.
The way to deal with such an attack was simple.
I don’t know what Abraxas is aiming for.
In any case, since his delirium worked, his chances of winning were much higher even if he didn’t use his full strength.
Sergei blocked his flying wooden sword in a similar manner as before and fired the magic he had prepared at him.
however.
Puck~
At one point, a fist suddenly flew towards Sergei’s face.
It didn’t belong to anyone.
It belonged to the man Sergei thought he had blocked.
“What!?”
As I was figuring out what had happened.
Pangㅡ
The follow-up hit hit Sergei directly in the face.
Putting distance between himself and Sergei through his fists. Richie followed up with a longer kick to cover the increased distance.
It truly looked completely different from before.
He looks different from before when he targets loopholes and deals with opponents.
“Who are you… you… ”
Sergei asked back, seeing that his appearance was completely different from before.
The possibility that it was someone else was also expected.
“Well?? What if you are not questioning the value of my existence? I have no choice but to answer that I am???”
For now, Sergei was reassured by his answer.
Anyone could see that it was something Abraxas would say.
But even then, Abraxas’ appearance was truly strange.
His body was shaking with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn’t contain his excitement.
In a situation where I don’t know what happened. Sergei’s decision was simple.
First, take it down. Then investigate in detail.
So wait until the excitement subsides.
‘Hold on for now.’
I thought so.
Puuongㅡ
Until a knee hit him in the face.
Sergei was hit in the face by Abraxas’ knee kick.
He was thrown into the wall at incredible speed.
It was the beginning of a battle in which both sides had to give their all.
