209 – Kneapul
Bal.
Use magic with your feet?
— Nyaaa!
I looked down at Geomgo with a dumbfounded face.
Of course, there is no time to panic.
Why Geomgo knows this is also a matter to consider later.
I’m just wondering if the foot organ can be used as a magic output.
If we remove the stereotypes, several possibilities emerge.
For example, exercises involving handling a ball.
Using ‘hands’ like in basketball or baseball.
There are two categories that use ‘foot’, such as soccer or foot volleyball.
That means the feet are as sharp and capable of sensuous control as the hands.
Detective Ko
‘… I don’t think there’s any reason why I can’t use my feet.’
I was confident in my ability to use my feet.
Yes.
Let’s focus the sensation on the feet.
Just like playing soccer, imagine precise control.
Anyway, magic is also a mechanism that throws out magic power like kicking a ball.
Poof!
I swung my foot as a test.
A clay pot the size of a toad nest cast from afar.
“!”
Colleagues watching are surprised.
There were definitely a lot of problems with location and strength.
“… This is it.”
I stroked my chin with my hand.
Ah. I have no hands.
I folded my arms shyly.
It is an hour of short calculation.
‘The interpretation of the magic circle is finished.’
Evan’s self-destruction is like a time bomb.
There is no way to disable that.
There is also no way to control or prevent its size.
Just.
‘I think I can control the direction of the explosion with my magic power.’
In other words, I can use my magical power as a path and let all that enormous energy flow in a non-dangerous direction.
The problem is that if I get involved…
There is a possibility of being suspected in a ‘witch hunt’.
In the future investigation, traces of me will definitely be mixed in with that explosion.
Then…

— Kuguaaa!
A huge beam of light pierced through the foundation of the academy.
A bright ray of light crossing the dark night.
It scattered across the clouds and colored the night sky brightly.
This is such a bizarre yet beautiful sight that people walking down the street stop inadvertently.
Among them were a group of professors from the Lichten Academy.
“… This is my first time seeing such a powerful wave of magical power.”
“It seems like something has happened. Isn’t there something wrong with the Mana Energy Lab again?”
“If we can store that much energy, there is no need to research any more.”
One of the group of professors walking down the street touched his forehead and muttered.
“Anyway, there’s no doubt that something else has happened that needs to be dealt with.”
While most people are nodding their heads in admiration.
One of the professors, whose eyes were narrowed, muttered.
“…Ah. Ian.”
The professor’s identity is Asilia.
She had expanded her senses and was about to see more accurately the magical power of that pillar of light.
And her senses clearly captured Ian’s energy.
This is the infinitely pure and clean energy of the earth element.
“Professor Asilia, where are you going…”
“Let’s check the situation.”
The rest of her professors looked blankly at Asilia, who disappeared as soon as she said those words.
“I can’t match Professor Asilia’s elegant personality and ability to act.”
“The speed at which you are running is almost invisible to the naked eye.”
“Don’t the professors in her swordsmanship club say they can’t move in front of her?”
Meanwhile, Asilia ran quickly.
She speaks quickly, but her walking skills have already exceeded 5 stars.
Running at her full speed, it didn’t take long for her to arrive in front of her pillar of light.
‘… Barrier.’
Asilia’s sensitive senses sensed a half-collapsed barrier.
What is felt within the barrier is an extremely intimate atmosphere.
There was a unique smell from Shaleam Bridge.
‘…Dangerous.’
Asilia carefully stepped into her barrier.
At that time.
— Jerbeok
The sound of footsteps coming from ahead.
Asilia slowed down her presence and caught up with her sounds.
‘… Engelgard?’
After checking her passengers, she frowned.
Professor Engelgard of the Department of Knight Studies.
Because there seemed to be no particular reason for him to be here.
More than anything, his behavior was suspicious.
It seemed as if he was nervously looking around and looking around.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t carelessly interrogate someone who is a professor.
After thinking for a moment, Asilia called him.
“Professor Engelgard?”
“Ah! W-what is it! Ah… Professor Asilia? How did you know about this place… Or how did you come in?”
As expected, this is a suspicious reaction.
Asilia, who frowned slightly, spoke as normally as possible.
“A red pillar of light suddenly shot up. I was worried that the students might have been hurt.”
“Ah… I see. I’ll take care of this place somehow…”
Why do you want to send it?
Asilia followed in her footsteps at Engel Garde.
“No, let’s go together.”
For a moment, let’s keep our guard up against Engelgard and move quickly. A large cavity opened before Asilia’s eyes.
The energy rising from the center.
As she witnessed it up close, she felt it even more.
It is clearly an energy full of chaos and destruction.
Maybe she’s so powerful that she blew up part of the academy.
But the reason why that energy surges like that instead of exploding is…
“Have you reinterpreted the magic circle? Ahahahaha. It’s an unbelievable ability…”
Engelgard mutters as if sighing.
It was worth it.
Magic circle. It’s not an ordinary magic circle, but it reverses the blood formation of the Shale Cultists to prevent an explosion and directs the energy to somewhere else.
Ian’s abilities have already gone far beyond the scope of an ordinary cadet. Promising, or even genius, doesn’t describe that kid.
Beyond the level of a cadet, he is one of the best wizards in Liechten.
Any skilled person who has seen that red pillar will admit that.
‘Oh my…’
That’s why Engelgard had an appetite.
Because it was difficult to carry out any of the orders given from above.
Meanwhile.
Asilia ran forward.
“Ian!”
Because the condition of her student’s hand was serious.
◆
“Ha…”
I collapsed on the floor, exhausted.
I stare blankly at the red pillar rising before my eyes.
The end of the 5th Presbyterian Church of Shaleam Bridge was like watching a spectacular fireworks display.
With this much light, it would be an advertisement to the whole world.
Evan’s energy constantly pouring out seemed to raise the density of the air.
“It looks like you really ate a lot.”
This is the executive of Shaleam Bridge.
Every single piece of his energy is actually someone’s blood and life force.
When I encounter this level of energy, even I end up thinking the same thing.
If you absorb all of this, won’t you become incredibly strong?
“hehehehe…”

For no reason, laughter came out.
Because even briefly, my thoughts were very similar to those of the Shale Church.
Of course, I don’t intend to do that, but the fact that my heart was shaken even for a moment is a bit shocking.
I guess I’m just too tired.
My hands were cramping…
“Ian.”
A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts.
Surrr.
I raised my head to look in the direction of the voice.
“… Master?”
Master Asilia was standing there with an unusually serious expression.
“Are you okay? No. Don’t worry too much, student.”
Master squatted in front of me like a restless person.
Half-moist eyes.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that the first time I saw her, she was panic and worry.
“I know a doctor. You can just go there. It’ll take about eight hours…”
“Master.”
“If you ask me, it will definitely be neat…”
“Master, I’m fine. I know how to return my hand to its original state.”
“… Really?”
“Yes.”
Master, who was looking at my face, sniffed and swallowed his nose. I think he was so worried that he cried inside.
“… Can I trust my student?”
“Of course.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Width.
Master hugged me while I was sitting.
“… Master’s disciples are all grown up.”
“I don’t know about that. I’m really glad.”
I think Master was more surprised than me.
I wish I could pat you on the back, but I don’t have hands.
The moment Master’s hug ended.
A figure walked from afar.
A middle-aged man with a sharp look.
Professor, Engelgard.
— Jeopuk.
He walked leisurely and stood in front of me.
He looks at the rising blood column and opens his mouth.
“Ian Black Angus. Is this the work of a cadet?”
“… To some extent, yes.”
“That’s amazing. I’m not sure how they stopped the Shale Cult’s final rampage, but they’re definitely not at the level of a simple cadet. I could even try to hire them as a professor. As long as I can explain the enlightenment the cadet gained.”
Instead of answering, I slightly raised the corners of my mouth.
Enlightenment.
Definitely the realization I gained while dealing with Evan this time was of great value.
How to interpret and penetrate high-level magic. So-called magical reverse engineering. It’s easier said than done, but the fact that this is possible means that you can cope with or even destroy the abilities of others.
Even by PantaXAka standards, people with this kind of talent were rare. No, almost none.
This is a great growth in itself, but it can be said to have laid the foundation for even greater growth.
In addition, you can even cast magic using your feet.
‘… I guess you could say this is luck.’
I laughed and stared at Evan, who had turned to ashes.
Well. By the way.
Rather than that, I have to face another risk factor standing in front of me.
“So, what’s going on, Professor Engelgard?”
It is clear that I am the henchman of the Shaleam cultists.
I looked up at him.
