Chun Yu-ran’s inaction was so overwhelming that it was hard to believe that he hadn’t used mana.
But instead of losing his fighting spirit, Ben Gibraltar took a step forward with a satisfied look on his face.
“This time it is my turn. I will learn a few things.”
Ben Gibraltar’s forward left arm resembled a shield, and the blade of his right hand resembled a sword.
Sword in right hand, shield in left hand.
A knight who skillfully handles two types of weapons.
That was the fighting method of a hero named Ben Gibraltar.
“It seems that the basics are roughly covered.”
“thank you.”
“Unlike anyone else, he greets people well. If there is a etiquette score, I would like to give it extra points.”
“do you have?”
“Is there? If that was the case, I would have given that cheeky red guy a long time ago.”
“That’s a bit unfortunate.”
Recalling the bottle he had left behind, Ben wrapped his aura in both hands and rushed toward examiner Chun Yu-ran.
* * *
The stomach was open, but the air was still hot because it was a closed space.
And it tingles as if the skin was slightly ripe from the heat.
Battle of the characters in the novel.
It was a completely different thing to read it in print and see it with your own two eyes.
“hot! Ha ha!”
Compared to Yoo Hyeon-hwa’s flashy fighting style, Ben’s fighting style seemed plain at first glance.
A close combat in which he thrusts his left arm forward like a shield and swings his right hand like a sword.
Apart from the bonus points, Ben’s will to learn a number stood out.
Of course, I was thinking the exact opposite.
‘Ah, I’m afraid to give up.’
There is no desire for sexuality.
A body that has already recorded an undeservedly high score in the written test, and is guaranteed an extra point in the practical test.
However, there are reasons for not choosing to abstain.
‘Abandonment in front of Chun Yu-ran? I’d rather go naked into a cage of beasts.’
A coward who gives up the fight is the kind of person Chun Yu-ran hates the most.
As much as I am well aware of the miserable words of the students who were filmed by Chun Yu-ran, I cannot choose to give up.
‘If it was another examiner, I wouldn’t have to do this.’
That’s why I need to learn how to lose less painfully for a smooth, normal, and peaceful school life.
‘Run as hard as you can and fall moderately.’
That’s the best scenario I can think of.
“characteristic”
– mana circuit
– memory of the body
-Physical
– Poetry of the Jackdaw
– Mindset of the blade
Characteristics I will have.
In addition to the two obtained from the previous quest reward, there were three characteristics that this body originally possessed.
A total of five characteristics.
Normal, Common, Unique.
Of course, unique traits have more power than normal traits.
Naturally, when I thought about the characteristic, an explanation for it came to my mind.
＜Mindfulness of the Blade＞
classification
– Rare traits
Explanation
– A sharp blade that will not exist is embedded deep in the heart.
– Resist unnecessary emotions.
-Do not discriminate between emotions to be restrained.
An explanation written with a double meaning.
The emotions written in the description include not only joy and sorrow, but also psychological factors that I feel.
‘It’s a trait that can’t directly affect the battle, but you can’t ignore the psychological factor either. I can say it’s a pretty good trait.’
Of course, psychological pressure such as tension and burden.
Pain, even the emotion of suffering, will be cut off.
‘It doesn’t feel good when I use it, but I think I’ll use it often.’
I have no intention of abusing it, but I also have no intention of refraining from using it.
The next thing to check is the first trait I got.
＜Mana Circuit＞
classification
– General characteristics
Explanation
– You can feel and use mana in your body.
– Efficiency is not that good.
A simple and straightforward explanation.
However, simplicity means that it is easy to use and has high versatility.
All I can do right now is body strengthening and a few techniques that apply it.
‘However, when used in combination with other characteristics, the usage increases further.’
＜Physique＞
classification
– General characteristics
Explanation
– You can use your body properly.
– Right is not necessarily the best.
As an analogy, ‘chest art’ is a manual.
The ‘hardware’ of the body remains the same, but the way to handle it, the ‘software’, has been upgraded.
I understand how to handle Hanzo’s body, which is incomparably more powerful than my original body, and I feel it.
‘Finally, there is one characteristic that seems to be the most important.’
＜Poetry of the Raven＞
classification
– Rare traits
Explanation
– Signs fade.
– Presence is blurred.
– The darker the surroundings, the stronger the effect.
Unlike other traits, you can’t feel that something has changed.
This is the trait that ＜Poetry of the Raven＞ applies when others see me.
There is also an effect that is always maintained, but it is necessary to be aware of the activation in order to use it properly.
‘I can’t ask, so I’ll have to test the effect with my body.’
The reconfirmation of the acquired characteristics has been completed.
And Ben Gibraltar seems to be reaching his limits.
The amount of aura on both arms has been greatly reduced compared to the beginning, and the movements are also considerably slower.
‘So soon?’
Then it is time for the inevitable coincidence to occur.
Flash- Kwa-Gwa-Gwa-Gwang!!!
I heard thunder.
Not from heaven to earth, but from earth to heaven. The lightning shot as if ascending pierced the ceiling, and a moment of silence came.
Happening that occurred when another test taker’s technique was hit in a bad place.
‘come.’
It may have happened suddenly, without any warning to some.
But not me.
I knew power outages would happen during the practical exam, so I waited.
A power system that will be restored in seconds.
However, at least for those few seconds, the auditorium was enveloped in darkness.
『Nevermore-there was nothing.』
Darkness is the realm of Hanzo.
* * *
Kwagwagwang!!!
‘Tsk, is it a blackout?’
The sound of thunder loud enough to deafen the ears.
Chun Yu-ran also saw with one eye the thunderbolts that surged from the floor to the ceiling as if ascending to heaven.
‘Looks like there’s another guy worth using.’
Even if coincidence coincided with coincidence, if it was power enough to destroy the facilities of the hero academy, it was at least as powerful as circle 5 magic.
It was a thunderbolt that was similar to or more powerful than the primitive spirit magic ‘Ifrit’s right arm’ that Yoo Hyeon-hwa used.
‘There is a reserve power, so it will be restored soon, but the person in charge will die. It won’t end with a major facility overhaul.’
Chun Yoo-ran recalled the facility inspection team of the Hero Academy.
She, too, has destroyed the facility a few times, so she knows about their hard work.
‘I can’t even use mana while I’m in the test tube, but it’s frustrating because I can’t even see the front because of the blackout.’
Inside the auditorium was darkness itself.
Most of the examinees and examiners paused the test until power was restored.
Even in pitch-black darkness, Chun Yu-ran was able to move as usual, and Ben was also running without concern for the blackout.
‘I have to finish it soon.’
This was also Cheon Yu-ran, who was starting to get tired of it.
It wasn’t bad to trample on young talents who were eagerly rushing forward, but as I continued, my interest cooled.
‘Ben Gibraltar.’
An aura so vivid that it can be seen.
Few people at that age can handle mana that well.
His physical ability is not inferior to him, and his personality is not so angular, unlike others.
Talented people who will do their part even if they are immediately put into the field.
But now, let alone a proper weapon, he was bare-handed, and he still lacked a lot of experience.
‘Writing was the same, but practical skills should be among the top five among the students taking the exam.’
There were many talented students among the students who took the entrance exam this year.
Even with Ben Gibraltar and Yoo Hyeon-hwa, they were the owners of talents who would have easily placed the top and bottom seats side by side if they were the usual Hae-nae.
‘It’s a good thing from Heon’s point of view.’
Talented people work hard with each other to build strength.
This was no different from the reason why the Hero Academy exists.
‘its sillent.’
Chun Yu-ran felt that the surroundings were too quiet, perhaps because of the darkness caused by the blackout.
It’s like Ben Gibraltar preparing for the final attack while cooperating with Chun Yu-ran in this space. As if there were only two people like this.
ugh-
A vivid aura flowing down the blade of the right hand.
It was the last attack that poured out the remaining aura.
Ben gathered the auras he had assigned to his two hands with his right hand and rushed with the feeling that this was the last time.
“Haa!”
However, his final attack, which gathered everything, also did not work on Chun Yu-ran.
widely-
More at noblemtl com
Just two fingers.
That was all Chun Yu-ran needed to stop Ben Gibraltar’s attack.
Without using mana, he blocked Ben Gibraltar’s full force with pure strength and finesse.
‘This is a great hero. A transcendent with only eight. Sura of the Armbusinjung. Lightsaber Cheon Yu-ran… .’
Ben Gibraltar is a thick wall between himself and Chun Yu-ran.
I could feel the difference in class.
‘A real genius who was active on the world stage.’
Frog in the well.
Ben also grew up hearing that he possesses a talent that only comes out once in a few decades.
Did I say there is another sky above the sky?
I understood it with my head, but today was the first time I felt it with my body.
“That’s all for today. I’ll see you later.”
Finally, Ben Gibraltar’s consciousness was cut off.
Tiny grains wrapped around his body, and his body was taken to the recovery room.
‘It’s over… not.’
The number of people left was three.
Two of them have exited, so now there is only one left.
There is only one set.
‘Ah, there’s still one left, right?’
The moment Chun Yu-ran remembered Hanzo, whom he had forgotten for a while, Hanzo was already standing behind her.
A sense of existence infinitely blurred by the effect of ‘Poem of the Raven’.
Even strengthening the body using ‘physical arts’ and mana.
Hanzo’s movements in the darkness were sharp and quiet.
* * *
At the same time as ‘Poem of the Crow’ was activated, mana moved regardless of my will.
The moment I became conscious of the mana in my body starting to deplete quickly, like a sports car running at top speed.
‘Take them all!’
I squeezed all the mana in my body that I vaguely felt and hit it.
Darkness envelops the whole body.
the darkness deepens
As much as the darkness thickens, my presence infinitely fades.
As much as the surrounding darkness, I become stronger.
『Nevermore-nothing.』
It’s still a small amount of mana.
It can only last for a moment.
However, an incomparably thicker darkness is tearing down the boundary between me and what I am not.
‘This is my current strength.’
It was the best timing.
I used everything that could be used, including attributes and mana.
He aimed for Chun Yu-ran’s blind spot, and took advantage of the surprise when he was most careless.
It can only last for a few seconds, but that’s enough.
hook-
Elbows swung short and concise.
Wholeheartedly, attack with everything you have.
A vivid image of a swinging elbow piercing Chun Yu-ran’s temple came to mind.
‘It was eaten.’
It was not the figure of Chun Yu-ran who fell in an unexpected surprise attack… .
It was Chun Yu-ran’s eyes that reflected my face.
“uh?”
A bewildered sound leaked out.
‘Why are you looking this way?’
At the last thought, consciousness was cut off.
* * *
‘… It almost got into trouble.’
Surprised by how surprised Chun Yu-ran was, she reacted by reflexively raising her inner energy.
If I hadn’t relaxed in time before the fist touched Hanzo’s chin… I almost got rid of a corpse with a shattered head today.
chijik-
The lights in the auditorium turned on to confirm that the power system had been restored.
The auditorium was enveloped in darkness, and less than 10 seconds had passed.
Chun Yu-ran looked down at her feet in the lit auditorium.
“… It moved.”
I was able to confirm that my legs moved unconsciously to avoid Hanzo’s attack.
It didn’t feel too bad.
[2431 Examination Hanzo 100 points.]
[1998 student Ben Gibrawler 51 points]
[50 points for Yoo Hyeon-hwa for examinee No. 2222]
Ben and Yoo Hyeon-hwa weren’t bad either, but they were too overconfident in their individual strength.
If the two of you had joined forces and rushed, I could have given you a better score… Due to their personalities, it seemed difficult to do so.
For the same reason, Hanzo felt a bit unsatisfied to give 100 points, but… A promise is a promise.
Chun Yu-ran ended the exam by writing down the score.
