I Became the Academy’s Female Delinquent Chapter 4. Valkryie Duel (2)

Elsie jumped out through the shattered classroom window.

A fighting spirit ablaze with fury.

It dulled the stagnant energy in her body and the unfamiliar sense of balance she had felt immediately after the possession.

She instinctively realized.

That even combat, which she initially thought would be difficult with this body, was now possible.

It felt as if her soul and Elsie’s body were synchronizing in response to the surging fighting spirit.

‘The skill I impulsively used in anger worked perfectly. Nice!’

The thrill of the duel filled Elsie with elation.

The battles in Aesir Saga, to which she had been madly devoted in the past.

The sensation of being able to actually perform them ignited Elsie’s body with excitement.

Elsie landed lightly on the playground and slowly walked towards the place where Thrud had fallen.

That Thrud couldn’t have been finished off by that one blow.

Unbeknownst to Elsie, she was moving exactly according to the character’s moveset.

Therefore, even though it was a simple movement, her posture was truly sublime.

“A duel… sounds good. If you have a complaint, you shouldn’t use words, but fists, right?”

As Elsie expected, the fallen Thrud got up.

A smile spread across Thrud’s face as she brushed away the thick dust.

“The grievance Elsie’s precious butt being harassed will never be taken lightly.”

Elsie also smiled fiercely as she looked at Thrud.

Elsie didn’t pay attention to her surroundings when she fought. She often heard that she changed when that happened.

Although she had become Elsie herself through possession, Elsie was a precious character that she had raised with all her effort and care.

Therefore, this humiliation of having her butt harassed could never be overlooked.

Although there was also a teaspoon of desire to fight.

“Are you going to fight like that?”

Elsie crossed her arms and tilted her head.

If she was like Thrud from Aesir Saga, she wouldn’t be barehanded when engaging in combat.

It was a provocation.

“Of course not. It’s only polite to go all out when you receive a duel request.”

Weapon Summon: Gauntlets of Power.

Golden energy appeared in the air and gathered on Thrud’s arms.

The energy, condensed and condensed again, quickly transformed into roughly shaped gauntlets.

Seeing the Valkyrie use weapon summon, Elsie felt a little pleased, unfolded her arms, and lowered her stance.

“Yeah, that’s how a Valkyrie should be.”

“Valkyrie?”

A feeling that was both familiar and new coexisted.

The opponent was no longer the Thrud she knew.

And everything was different from when she was simply controlling the character.

But her soul, the sensation dwelling in Elsie’s body, was shouting.

That now that she had become Elsie, she could fight even better than before.

That she could become stronger.

The fight with a strong opponent, which she had forgotten for a while after reaching the pinnacle of the martial arts tournament, excited Elsie.

A confrontation where they only glared at each other in a fighting stance. But it didn’t last long.

Wham!

The balance was broken.

It was Thrud who kicked off and charged first.

Light pink hair fluttering wildly with sudden acceleration.

Golden eyes flickering with fighting spirit were aimed straight at Elsie.

The sudden acceleration charge was so fast that it could be considered a surprise attack even though they were facing each other head-on.

But Elsie had caught the signs of Thrud’s charge.

In the first place, all the techniques and movements she had shown so far were things she had seen countless times from the Valkyrie Thrud of Aesir Saga.

‘Even if it’s Elsie’s body, I won’t miss it!’

In a fleeting moment, Thrud came right up to her.

Elsie immediately prepared to respond to the attack.

Up to this point, it was a movement she had anticipated in her head.

Then she should be able to respond sufficiently.

She should have been.

**ㅡFist of the Heart!**

‘What?!’

Thrud came close. However, the attack inflicted was unexpected.

Elsie’s eyes widened, as she had been expecting a heavy blow from the gauntlets.

Fist of the Heart was a sure-hit counterattack that the Valkyrie Thrud unleashed on an opponent who ‘approached’ her.

In other words, it was a pattern that would not appear in the game system unless the player approached directly.

However, the Thrud here approached the Fist of the Heart’s range herself and used it as an attack technique.

An unexpected attack.

It was the moment Elsie’s expectations crumbled.

No matter how elaborately made, Aesir Saga was only a game under the control of the system, and it was different from reality.

It was not a world made up of data.

There were no systemic limitations.

This was literally a living world where all restrictions had disappeared.

Thrud’s attack method was possible because of that.

The moment she realized that, Elsie couldn’t control the joy that erupted.

The Fist of the Heart, known as a sure-hit, which could only be defended against.

That ultra-fast blow struck Elsie’s abdomen head-on.

Only a handful of those watching the playground were able to recognize that moment.

_Whoosh!!_

Just when it seemed that she had been directly hit by the Fist of the Heart without any way to avoid it.

Elsie’s skill was activated.

Spin Evasion!

Rapidly increasing the energy flowing through the body and rotating at high speed.

An evasion skill that changes or deflects the flow of attacks inflicted on oneself with the elasticity of the body generated in that way.

A tricky skill in which the damage that can be deflected is determined by the user’s quickness and sense was activated.

Elsie had once perfectly received and deflected the Fist of the Heart used by the Valkyrie Thrud of Aesir Saga with this skill.

It was a notorious pattern that no one would be able to completely evade until Elsie succeeded.

It was the moment when Elsie, now as Elsie, succeeded again.

Whirr!

The moment she thought the fist had struck her stomach head-on, Elsie’s body moved as if rotating at high speed, deflecting the fist.

Thrud’s eyes widened as if she had the illusion that the fist had pierced through Elsie’s illusion.

She didn’t just avoid it.

She definitely felt like she had hit her. But there was no after-feel.

‘She deflected the attack with rotational force at the moment of impact?’

This was the first time this had happened.

It was the moment when her proud sure-hit attack missed for the first time.

However, even if she couldn’t inflict damage, it was clear that the attack had hit Elsie.

Thrud was able to read the sincerity contained in Elsie’s heart with the power of the Fist of the Heart.

Anger and joy, confusion and embarrassment.

Elsie’s complex emotions flowed in.

Spin Evasion, one of her Valkyrie evasion techniques.

Elsie, who had deflected Thrud’s attack by a hair’s breadth with that Spin Evasion, was quite embarrassed.

‘As expected, things are different from the game when it becomes reality!!’

Because the amount of power she deflected was enormous.

Spin Evasion deflects the attack with rotation and at the same time makes some of that power her own.

But converting that added power into rotational force and accelerating it was no easy task.

It seemed like Elsie’s body couldn’t handle it.

She felt a tremendous load.

‘Isn’t Elsie’s body more fragile than I thought?!’

“Kuh…!”

Anyway, it was a technique that was notorious for being a sure-hit.

There was no way she could get an evasion judgment without any recoil like in the game.

Elsie gritted her teeth.

It was true that she had succeeded in evading.

A Spin Evasion that has succeeded in evading soon transforms into an accelerator that can lead to a chain attack.

Elsie’s elbow, accelerated and rotated, flew in.

And it struck Thrud’s back, which was defenselessly exposed because she had extended her fist.

_**ㅡBang!!!**_

“Cough!”

She couldn’t add all of the absorbed power to the rotational force that was converted into attack. But the power was already sufficient.

Thrud was slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.

In the game, the battle would have continued without any problems thanks to the raid boss’s remaining HP and immunity to flinching.

But in a world close to reality, the story would be different.

Elsie’s carelessness, thinking so.

That carelessness allowed Thrud’s surprise attack, who was half-buried in the ground.

It was a full-force kick from Thrud, who sprang up with fierce momentum.

‘Crazy, she took that and immediately countered…’_Boom!_

With a tremendous explosion, Elsie left a silver afterimage in a straight line and flew away.

At the end of that helpless flight was a training ground with several training steel pillars erected.

Clang! Clang clang clang!

Elsie, who collided with one pillar, was immediately bounced off and collided with another training steel pillar in succession.

The onlookers groaned at the chilling collision sounds and Elsie’s appearance of bouncing around like a ball.

“…It went in properly, isn’t she going to die?”

“The attack Thrud received wasn’t small either. I’m excited to see who will win?”

“T, this isn’t a sparring level, shouldn’t we stop them?”

“How can we stop a fight of that level…”

At the end of the story, the students looked at their homeroom teacher, Reginleif.

But seeing her eyes shining as she watched their duel, Elsie couldn’t help but shake her head.

“Shit… I let my guard down.”

Staggering to her feet from the ringing impact, Elsie looked around.

She had misjudged that it was over and was completely off guard.

The damage from the surprise blow was considerable.

The damage from Thrud’s kick while she was defenseless was quite significant.

However, she was able to withstand the subsequent damage from the colliding pillar thanks to mitigating the damage with her parrying technique.

Otherwise, Elsie’s body, which was more fragile than she thought for some reason, would not have been able to withstand it.

“To counterattack right after taking that, how tough are you? Does she think she’s some kind of raid boss here, too?”

Even though her body has shrunk, Thrud is still Thrud, huh?

Elsie, with a throbbing headache, placed a hand on her head and gave a faint smile with a grimace.

Thrud was approaching.
