by admin“That’s how they write it… ?”
“Has there ever been a winner like that before?”
As soon as my exciting declaration is over, the crowd’s noise increases as Aleister takes one step at a time.
Two people speak in one step, four in two steps, and eight in three steps, each opening their mouth to speak.
Still, the sound lingering in my ears wasn’t that loud.
The president of the World Hunter Association accepts my challenge and walks onto the stadium.
Because of that fact alone, everyone in the audience was paying attention.
“That can’t be right, it’s a famous weapon or an elixir of heaven… They were only cadets who required various martial arts skills passed down through practiced techniques or hidden visions.”
“If there was an exception, it would be personal connections… In fact, if you improve your skills with good equipment or elixirs, your network will naturally increase.”
Of course, even if you notice, you can’t easily block out people’s interest and admiration.
Various voices were still telling different stories, and before I knew it, they were pouring out to Aleister Crowley, who had come up to the stadium and faced me.
“Thank you for taking the challenge.”
As I lightly bowed my head and expressed my gratitude, silence fell over the audience as they realized that it was just about to begin.
“I hope it will be a good match.”
Aleister smiled kindly and nodded slightly.
He still looks calm. However, I was able to laugh as I vaguely grasped his squirming thoughts.
‘I dug my own grave.’
The declaration he made as he walked onto the stadium and the promise he made to me came to mind.
Because it was a memory that was engraved in my mind for only about a minute, its contents were very clear.
A scouting offer to the World Hunter Association under the pretext of raising the enthusiasm of the audience.
Of course, since it is only an ‘offer’, I can reject it as much as I want.
In reality, the majority of hunters reject this type of experience, and in most cases, they use it to increase the value of their name in entrance exams for large guilds.
If my goal was to enjoy wealth and fame by joining a guild like a large corporation, well, well.
In 21st century terms, it might have been somewhat similar to the opportunity to write down your Nobel Prize winning history in a self-introduction to be submitted to a company.
‘Well, I don’t plan on doing that.’
My goal is to get Aleister’s attention from the beginning and get into the World Hunter Association.
It was also better if the position was as high as possible.
‘It’s an important position. Perhaps, given his personality, there is little chance that he will be given an important position.’
If we classify Aleister Crowley according to the famous TRPG tendency system of his past life, his tendencies are neutral and evil.
It shows a bit of chaotic tendencies, but it’s not something to worry about too much.
The point is, for him, what damage or means were incurred during the process of exploration.
‘Even if it is evil, it is worth enduring if it is an efficient and excellent method.’
While Hermod is the greatest troublemaker in the school who annoys the player at every turn, Aleister is the world’s greatest troublemaker for his desire and knowledge of magic.
He covered it up very well and cleverly concealed it by using his position as president of the World Hunter Association.
Even if he does something good, he must keep in mind that his intention is not pure goodness.
The fact that he did a good deed proves that only one of two events occurred.
‘Either it was beneficial to him, or he stepped forward to cover up an incident that had already occurred.’
If I were to summarize it really simply, would I say it was a world-class riot?
So, I can also use him and throw him away without hesitation.
“Vice President, I would like to ask you for one more game.”
Odd Spartium would be able to stop Aleister even if he suddenly turns his eyes and tries to kill me.
The possibility of that happening is extremely low, but since Aleister is a more unpredictable person than Hermod, I decided to pick him and ask for it.
Fortunately, Odd Spartium nodded willingly and agreed to my request.
“Now then, we will begin an extra match between Association President Aleister Crowley and cadet Seong Yu-jin, the top student.”
Does this mean there is no need to hide even the counterfeit Gungnir when it is exposed?
Odd Spartium openly called me the ‘top student’ and announced the start of the match.
And at the same time.
“GOETIA.”
“… !”
A book with a black cover appeared on Aleister Crowley’s outstretched left palm.
As soon as it was summoned, the Grimoire split open and quickly turned its pages, then stopped moving and radiated ominous magic.
‘You’re serious!’
I was startled and threw my body backwards.
In the meantime, he never took his eyes off Aleister and calculated the spell.
It was almost at the same time that my technique was completed that his free right hand opened its palm towards me.
“Haagenti.”
Blood-red energy flowed over the black grimoire, and a red ray of light extended from the palm of Aleister’s right hand.
His grimoire Remegeton was written based on Kabbalah.
Among them, the first chapter, the Black Grimoire Goetia, has the ability to control 72 types of demons.
‘Each demon has its own unique and powerful abilities. ‘Ministering 72 demons means performing 72 mysteries.’
A barrier was set up behind my back.
Since Hagenti’s mystery was clearly related to alchemy, it is easy to block with a barrier rather than a substance.
Therefore, the techniques incorporated into the barrier are amplification and reflection.
This barrier accepts attacks from light rays and pure energy systems, stimulates the technique to increase output, and then fires it back at the opponent.
ping-!
As I slightly moved out of the way, as expected, Hagenty’s red ray of light passed by me and hit the mirror barrier and was reflected.
“Hmm.”
His eyes narrowed, and an earthen wall rose from the stadium floor.
The raised earthen wall hit the reflected light and became distorted.
As expected, perhaps because it was a ray containing alchemy, the material had strangely changed in one way or another.
‘As expected, barrier art is not affected by alchemy.’
The time when Aleister was at the peak of his activity was an era that was older than the era in which I lived in my previous life.
The only photos are black and white, and the Internet was not even widely available in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Is that why?
Most of the magic used by Aleister centers on the summoning of familiars and alchemy.
In other words, like modern magicians, they do not use magic power themselves and use various techniques.
‘It’s not that it can’t be used, it’s just that it’s not used.’
Because the ray just had the alchemy property of combining substances, the barrier technique easily blocked it.
However, if I were to enter a modern magic battle where techniques purely aimed at destructive power were used, I could not help but feel nervous.
‘Then I will break down the prejudice against magicians that has remained from the past to the present.’
Cadets specializing in magic have weaker direct combat capabilities than cadets specializing in combat.
I plan to deal a blow to Aleister by using a concept that is quite deeply rooted even in this era.
You made your own!
The barrier was pulled out indiscriminately and danced in all directions.
As he took one step forward, he wrapped the binding thread around his body, and as he took two steps, he moved as if unwinding the wrapped thread.
Aleister’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
‘… now!’
Aleister’s magic fluctuated for a moment, and the grimoire in his left hand tried to operate.
Now, in the barrier temple that looked like a whirlpool, a barrier armament that was intertwined with each other spread out.
grasp-!
“Hmm… !”
Aleister took a step back with startled eyes.
When he stopped walking, a black line was instantly drawn under his feet.
The drawn lines stretched out as if bouncing here and there, drawing a pentagram.
“I heard that it deals with rune magic, which is rare these days.”
Aleister put his hands together and spoke like that.
Before I had time to reply, a circle of magic was drawn around Pentagram Castle.
At first I couldn’t recognize what it was, but soon I noticed it and was able to read it.
‘… It’s become a nuisance.’
The magic surrounding Omangseong is a single sentence.
A phrase written by weaving and connecting runes. It is a mysterious language that has enough power in itself to change the world.
‘Is it a summoning ceremony? Or are you trying to prepare something else?’
Aleister draws only part of the familiar’s power and ability to himself and uses it.
If he wants to summon a familiar and push me, there is nothing more terrifying than that.
Each and every one of them is a powerful human strategy.
‘You have to hit the player before that happens.’
My mind quickly came to a conclusion, and my hands immediately moved.
The barrier armaments were ejected, preventing Aleister from completing the spell, and were stuck in various parts of Pentacle Castle.
“Even if you throw a barrier sword like that, you won’t be able to block it.”
Aleister, without losing his easy smile, signed the prisoner.
The pentagram glows and the runes rotate.
The surrounding magical energy is drawn to the magic circle of Pentagram and melts into it.
“Zazas, zazas, nasatanada zazas.”
The chanting of magic spells flowed from his mouth, and the gap between the pentagram and the runes was completely filled with the magical aspect.
The detection barrier sent information observing the space into my head.
That’s some kind of door. It is a summoning circle that leads somewhere and summons something here.
My guess is that this is a task to summon Coronzon.
‘The only beings summoned with that spell were Coronzon and Aworth. Aworth is passive or indifferent about these things, so he is probably trying to call Coronzon, who will actually help the military.’
Thinking like that, I also signed my name.
As each other’s magic power surged, the stadium was engulfed in tremendous magic power.
The density and concentration of pure magical power alone affects the refractive index of light, making the surrounding scenery appear blurry for a moment.
In that situation, Aleister shouted with a bright smile on his face.
“Answer my call and come here! Coronzon!”
And, the very next moment.
Pak-!
“… What?”
The entire spell that Aleister had completed was torn off and shattered.
What remained in that seemingly majestic place were only a few barrier swords that Aleister had ignored, dismissing them as trivial intrusions.
And the result of neglecting it was the failure of the summoning technique.
“Shin Kage-ryu, Yuyeong (流影). I planted it on the sword in advance and sprayed it.”
The beast I was in a relationship with was made to amplify the magic inherent in the barrier sword.
Dozens of barrier swords were stuck at once, swimming in unison with explosive power.
Due to the nature of Yuyoung, which has the effect of absorbing magical energy and removing the magic, sophisticated magic such as summoning can never work properly.
“A magician as good as me couldn’t figure out the barrier technique? No way… ! This doesn’t make sense… !”
The smile on Aleister’s face disappeared, and his complexion hardened with shock.
I corrected my hand sign and opened my mouth once again.
“Of course it makes sense. I only say things that make sense.”
I threw out a sarcastic remark, and the moment he poured magical power towards me, I suddenly shouted.
“Regional development.”
Now that you have won the first battle, it is time to keep the momentum going and attack.
