I smiled and performed attack magic.
My attack won’t break through her defense anyway, so feel free to do your best.
Wow!
The shock wave magic that was blown by focusing in a narrow area was blocked by the shield and disappeared.
Thinking it was an unexpected power, Leia’s eyes widened slightly.
I immediately made fireballs and spread them around her.
She was defending by making the shield in the form of cotton rather than a spherical shape covering her entire body, which consumes less magic power, but had the disadvantage of being able to go to the goal if she misses the opponent’s attack.
In a word, it was the confidence that I could block all of my magic with just the manipulation ability without having to press it with magic.
I rotated the fireball dizzyingly and fired it from all angles.
Without a blink of an eye, Leah formed several more cotton-type shields and blocked all the rushing fireballs.
It turned out to be a lot simpler than I thought.
Even in my ability to control magic, which is my strength, there was no field in which I could have an edge over me.
There was no more attacking pattern that came to mind now, so I just threw and used flash magic as if I was watching.
flash!
A strong light burst out and obscured his vision.
In the meantime, I made a fireball and shot it again. But it was also in vain.
There was no way that a person with that level of skill couldn’t cope with the attack just because his vision was limited.
My vision returned again, and I saw the figure of the other person looking at me with absurd eyes.
She lifted her shield and opened her mouth.
“Is there anything more to show you?”
Then he stretched out his hand and performed shockwave magic.
I immediately unleashed a defensive spell, but the shield was shattered as soon as it collided with the shockwave.
I stumbled and took a step back. It was powerful enough to cleanly destroy only the shield.
“Dalian is over.”
It was clearly a decided match, so Professor Locale stepped forward.
Still, I had no regrets because I had done everything I had to do.
“Ran, what do you think was the reason for your defeat?”
It was a question I didn’t need to think about, so I answered it right away.
“There was a huge difference in capabilities in every way.”
“Then how do you plan to lead a battle with such an opponent in the future?”
I pondered for a while, not knowing the intent of the question.
What are you leading? Because it was overwhelming in every way. are you just asking
“It seems that we have no choice but to fight and do our best.”
“Is that all?”
“Leave it to luck and throw a gamble, and if there’s a slight chance, I’ll try to run away. It’s best not to create a situation where you have to fight such an enemy in the first place.”
It was quite a serious answer, but some students burst into laughter.
Professor Loquel also laughed and nodded.
“Yeah. It was best for you to bet with magic control ability, but before that, the difference in ability was too big. The amount of magic and control ability were excellent, but everything else was below the level. will.”
I nodded.
I’m weak in magic, so I’ve only learned little magic, and the speed of spreading magic was quite slow.
Even in the final blow, the opponent gave him time to block it outright, so he had time to defend. Otherwise, there would have been no time to open the shield.
“Lea Herriwin, you were… flawless. But why didn’t you do your best?”
To the professor’s question, she answered with a face that was not impressed.
“If I had done my best, it would have ended as soon as it started.
“Did you mean that you cared about your opponent?”
“I just didn’t want to obscure the meaning of the class.”
That was also a bit of a boner for me to hear.
As if it meant that even if the students were to fight each other in this way, it would not be of any help to them.
And even if it was said in that sense, it could not be called arrogance. because it was true Her level was far beyond that of a freshman.
Professor Loquel said with a faint smile.
“Let the two of you go back to your seat.”
After a few student turns, it was Escar’s turn.
As she looked nervous, she saw her successor smiling and patting her on the back.
“Whoa….”
The match started, and surprisingly, Escar was the first to aggressively use magic.
The shock wave magic flew away, but it was easily blocked by the opponent’s defense magic, who was preparing to respond swiftly.
【Lv. 11]
Looking at the scene, I easily guessed the outcome of Dalian.
Because Escar’s level was lower than his opponent. Her level was almost the lowest in her class.
The opponent immediately counterattacked, as if he had roughly grasped Escar’s power with the last blow.
Escar struggled to block the harsh offensive, but soon the limit came.
Whoops!
Escar’s shield was shattered by the opponent’s attack.
And at the same time, another shield was created around her, blocking the shock.
It was Professor Loquel who put the shield around before anything dangerous happened. The professor who raised his hand opened his mouth.
“Dalian is over.”
He looked at Escar and said in a dry tone.
“Escar Mariols, this is your defeat. What do you think was the reason for your defeat?”
Eska, who was breathing heavily, said in a confident voice.
“······It seems that my magic skills overall were lacking compared to my opponent.”
“That’s right. To put it bluntly, even considering that he was a freshman, it was a disastrous level. I think you need to first develop your abilities in the realm of pure magic rather than the realm of combat.”
A shadow was cast on Escar’s face with a truly venomous swearword.
The two of them returned to their seats, and the successor was seen talking to her dehydrated and drowning.
It was Professor Loquel who glanced at the heir who turned his gaze away. Are you angry at your friend’s harsh words?
The successor’s turn came almost to the end.
However, since most of the students were at the beginner level, after exchanging a few workshops, all of their magic power was exhausted, and the match-up was quickly over.
I thought as I looked at the two people facing each other.
‘Is the level of magic still a beginner?’
From what I heard from the warrior, the successor was said to have excellent qualities not only in swordsmanship but also in magic.
But unlike swordsmanship, he didn’t learn properly, so he didn’t know how to use basic magic or a few like me.
Of course, even so, the outcome of this battle was decided.
Even if the magic was still at the beginner level, the magic wasn’t like that.
【Lv. 32]
Although it is lower than Rygon and Leia, her level is also in her 30s.
The level of magical power itself was also not at the freshman level.
As soon as the match started, the Heir raised his hand and said:
“I’ll attack with fire magic. Block it properly.”
“······yes?”
Then, immediately, it lit a flame like purple.
The fireball was fired only after the opponent hadtily deployed a defensive magic.
Whoops!
With a roar, the opponent’s shield appeared to have been smashed in half.
The Heir saw it and set fire to it once more. This time bigger than just before.
“Go one more time.”
His opponent was terrified.
But before that, the professor spoke up.
“Dalian is over.”
The heir, who turned to the professor, snorted and put out the flames, and asked him in a hostile tone.
“How was I? Professor.”
Professor Loquel stared at her and said.
“The level of magical power was excellent, and the speed of the magic unfolding was excellent. However, it was a strange journey that was difficult to understand. Are you going to attack the opponent after foretelling the attack like that in real life?”
“No. But this is Dalian.”
“Even in Dalian, I would have told you to do it like a real battle.”
He replied as if he remembered the heir who was speechless for a moment.
“If I had done my best, I think the opponent couldn’t even block the first attack and it would have ended right away. Isn’t that obscuring the meaning of this class?”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little.
He was the heir who was borrowing the words Leah had told the professor earlier.
I wondered if it was just that the professor didn’t like it for no apparent reason and was making a fuss.
Curious about the reaction, I turned to Leah’s side and saw that she had unpretentious eyes.
Despite the rebellious attitude of his successor, Professor Loquel still spoke in a dry tone.
“Your rudeness won’t save a friend’s face. Let’s go to our seats.”
Eventually, the heir who heard the word turned around with a look of dissatisfaction.
Still, he said to the student he was dealing with, perhaps knowing that he had done something not so good from the professor’s words.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to joke around or ignore you.”
“Huh? Yeah….”
After all the remaining students had finished competing, it was time for the class to end in good time.
It was the students who seemed exhausted from the class that was much tighter than the classes on the first day.
Professor Loquel said with a small click on his tongue.
“This is just the first class. It would be better for everyone to adapt as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, at the same time, Legon’s Henry class also had students gathered at the training ground for an interpersonal combat class.
“So, what is everyone so afraid of?”
Rigon, who was standing alone, heard the sound of talking nearby.
“Because I’m afraid of the name Calderik. I don’t think I can count too many of them with a soft look.”
“Hey, hey. I can hear you….”
“What if I hear it? Tell me to listen.”
“Are you really fearless? There is a saying that students from Calderic come after being recommended directly by the monarch.”
“It’s all nonsense. Does that make sense? He doesn’t have a surname in his name, but he’s probably from somewhere appropriate.”
Lee Gon turned his head, realizing that he was talking about himself.
The male student who made eye contact was startled, then quickly smiled and looked away.
Lygon let out a small sigh.
‘It’s not easy.’
The class had already been firmly stigmatized in one day.
If that’s the case, maybe by the time I graduate, I won’t have anyone but three friends.
“It’s chattering and noisy.”
At that moment, the two male students, who had been talking continuously at the heavy voice that suddenly intervened, were startled and shut their mouths.
The owner of the voice was a large male student standing right next to them.
Lee Gon had seen his face before the school started.
It was because he was the male student who was the freshman representative at the entrance ceremony. Was his name Bayon Lexio?
He is a promising youngster from a prestigious samurai family, and he was already famous among the students of the Swordsmanship School even before the semester started.
“Everyone is quiet.”
Not long after, the professor in charge came into the training ground. It was a woman wearing a robe.
She glanced around and introduced herself.
“This is Gaon Cecilea, the professor in charge of the interpersonal combat class.”
“············”.
“Well, it’s good that it’s like my name. Everyone, don’t sit still and pick up the training sword over there.”
When the students gathered all their swords, Professor Gaon said with a smirk.
“From now on, you’ll have a swordsmanship match. The first two guys to support you should come out in the middle.”
“············”.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to suddenly fight? This is the kind of class for face-to-face combat. Of course, winning or losing in all matches is included in your grades.
One student quickly came forward, and another student immediately followed.
Lygon watched the scene with interest.
Because Lee Gon liked this class more than yesterday’s desk classes.
“Come on, this is the start of the match. Think of it as a life-threatening battle, and do your best on both sides.”
The method of the class was to give feedback after the professor had finished the competition after the students had competed.
However, Professor Gaon’s feedback was basically venomous.
“Why do you miss an opportunity to counterattack? Are you afraid of a coward cutting your opponent with a false sword?”
“Every time I swing my sword, my body is in a mess. What kind of straw are your legs?”
“Why are you giving out your spirit without even trying? Fix that habit. You’re wasting your breath unnecessarily.”
After the match, the students returned to their seats with a gloomy look, even if they were winners.
Li Gon was watching Dalian, comparing the professor’s words with his own feelings. There were some differences, but the core was largely the same.
“next······.”
About halfway through the class, the professor’s eyes turned to Rigon.
She smiled strangely and said.
“You’re the guy from Calderik, right? Let’s see your skills. Come out.”
Lee Gon walked out into the middle of the training ground in the spotlight.
“And you, come out.”
“Yes? Yes.”
The next designated student walked out.
He was the boy who had been gossiping about Lee Gon before.
