Episode 23.
Victor didn’t understand common sense.
The magical power worn by Balt is not a refined aura, but just magical power.
Of course, if it’s a 4th floor aura attack, you have to break through and break the arm muscles.
The reason why Balt was surprised is simple.
It’s a 4th layer aura, but now Victor’s technique clearly hurt Balt’s arm.
It is said that he radiated power close to the 5th floor by combining muscles, skills, and Aura.
Of course.
Even the same amount of aura can produce different effects depending on how it is used.
It is a story that it is not for nothing that there are things that are called seasons, secrets, and decisive battles.
But to Victor, Balt’s arm looks perfectly fine.
From noble mtl dot com.
Tadat!
In an instant, Victor, who stepped back and distanced himself from Balt, asked with a shocked expression.
“What, what? Balt! That muscle? Did you endure it with your muscles now!? A fourth-floor aura!?”
The endowment magic called Endure Firmness was working, but that was only half true.
“Yes, it is muscle.”
Hearing Balt’s answer, Victor receives a huge shock at that moment.
“Ah, no matter how you say it!!”
Suddenly getting amused, Balt threw a funny, half-joking, half-serious comment at the muscle devotee.
“The limits of muscle are endless.”
Koo Goong!
Bald’s answer gives Victor the illusion of hearing thunder and realizes his ignorance.
‘I, am I the only one who makes my muscles cry with my mouth!! What a shame!’
But Balt’s mischief didn’t end there.
“This kind of thing is possible if the muscles are extremely developed. Block it well.”
While doing so, Balt jumps at Victor.
Thump!
‘He looks strong, but earth magic and hammers will be a bit difficult. So what’s good? Yes, I’m going to go to martial arts, but fists are the most acceptable.’
Balt puts out his palm and forms a very precise fist, unlike the crude wind fists of the past, and stretches it out to Victor.
Since Victor shouted the skill name, Balt, who had heard that shouting the skill name during sparring was manners, playfully shouted the skill name.
“Muscle Wind Fist.”
Actually, I struggled with the name Geunpoong-kwon (筋風拳), but that doesn’t sound like magic.
Hooung!
As a huge fist protrudes from Balt’s palm and rushes at Victor, Victor hurriedly pulls up his aura and makes an X with his arm to defend against Balt’s Wind Fist.
Perbung!!
Rurrr!
“Kuuu!!”
It was Victor who escaped the unsightly situation of falling down, but was pushed back more than 10m by Balt’s fist even though he defended it perfectly.
“This is magic!?”
Bald shouted at Victor, who was far away.
“Yes, but did I stand still and do magic calculations? I’ll say I’ve done it.”
The current attack is magic with at least 4 circles.
Are you using that type of magic with only a chant while moving at that speed? It is impossible unless you are a wizard with 5th circle or higher.
However, Balt felt only one circle. That’s nonsense.
“Well, then this!?”
“It’s a magic created by creating wind with muscles.”
Koo Goong!
It was Balt’s half-joking remark, but it wasn’t to Victor.
Once again, he hears thunder in his head, and he realizes that every muscular common sense he has ever known is shattering.
“Yeah, but I’m the King’s apprentice! I can’t lose!”
“Yes, come.”
Koo Kung!
Quang!
Quick!
Perbung!
Kwajik!
The arena is devastated and dust is flying.
Every time the two muscles collide, it feels like even the air trembles.
Fortunately, there is a recovery magic in the arena, so it should be restored in a day.
Lehman lay down and watched the scene from afar. He even brought popcorn and ale.
‘It’s like a monster fight… It reminds me of an Ogre and a Minotaur fighting in the past.’
“Wind screw fist!”
A technique that increases power by adding rotational force to the wind fist.
“Big!”
Already battered Victor uses his thick arm to block it, but the rotational force penetrates Victor’s arm and hits Victor’s pectoralis major muscle.
Puer!!
Tung! Tung! Thudung! Quaang!
“Keoouk!!”
Victor, who was blown off the ground by Balt’s blow, slammed into the wall and groaned.
A sturdy guy flies so excitedly that Balt asks anxiously.
“Are you okay?”
Victor, who barely staggered to his feet, eventually got down on one knee and said:
“Kuh, keugh! Lost, lost! Skill is also skill, but I lost perfectly with my muscles. It is my defeat.”
Lehman, watching from afar, thinks.
‘Keuk kuk, they are really funny. The muscle mass is doing that, so it’s full of excitement, but it’s a bit bland because it’s one-sided. Well, how did he pierce Balt’s muscles? That balt guy gets pushed back, so he accepts all attacks and only counterattacks, an ignorant bastard.’
That’s right.
There is only one thing Balt falls behind Victor, who has received systematic training.
It was a flexible movement due to the use of martial arts.
But it’s only natural that you have to stretch out your fist to Balt in order to attack.
Bald did not bother to catch up with Victor’s movements, but defended it the moment an attack came in and then counterattacked.
Baltic’s muscles are truly impregnable.
Victor’s skills were limited to inflicting small wounds.
It was impossible for Victor, who was given in return and received in words, to defeat Balt.
It was a pity that Balt’s sparring ended more blandly than expected, but it was still fun.
I confirmed once again that my body was strong.
And the questionable attack power.
The power of Baltic physical magic varies depending on how much physical force it generates.
Actually, the Wind Screw Fist, which Balt created by rolling his head, also increased its power by adding the physical force of rotation.
I was convinced that this would work to some extent for Aura users on the 5th floor.
I didn’t even use spirit magic.
In addition, Balt’s physical magic is more powerful for the earth attribute than the wind attribute.
And I realized what I lacked.
Right move.
Balt was ahead of Victor in movements that depended on intuition at a very close distance, but it was slightly difficult for Balt to catch up with strange movements using footwork.
This is a homework to overcome later.
Balt was very satisfied with the results of the sparring.
I was convinced that I was worthy of trying until the second half of the 5th floor.
“Good job. Victor. Go to the infirmary and treat him.”
After saying that, Balt tried to turn away, but Victor jumped up and shouted.
“Brother! Let me treat you as my older brother!”
Balt asked back with a puzzled expression.
“Brother… sir?”
Victor lowered his head to Balt and said.
“Yes!! I saw my future with Brother Balt!! If only I could have a body half as large as that of Balt! I was convinced that I could become a martial artist who surpassed Master.”
I think it’s already halfway there….
Besides, even if you say something like that, Balt can’t teach you anything.
In the first place, what should I do with the different races I was born with?
“Ah, over there Victor. This is Geryungtu….”
“Don’t say no! As for learning, I will follow you and learn on my own! Brother Balt just needs to treat me as his younger brother!”
Then there is no reason to cut him off.
“Yes, yes. What… If you want to do that, do it.”
“Thank you! Thank you! Brother Balt!”
With this, it was the moment when Balt had one more follower after Lisa.
“Then take care of yourself, I’m going to practice again.”
“Okay!”
Bald, thinking of something, asks Victor.
“By the way, how old are you, Victor?”
“I am 22 years old!”
“I am 20 years old.”
“… ….”
Silence flows for a while.
But Victor gives the best answer.
“…… If you have big muscles, you are a big brother.”
Since it is a university-like system, it is only natural that there are new students of various ages.
Besides, this isn’t even Korea.
It’s Balt who happened to have an older brother.
Balt laughs when he hears that he has big muscles.
“Okay then, good job.”
“Go take a look. Older brother!”
It’s a kind of greeting like a local gangster. Balt is determined not to say hello like that next time.
***
Grovundt Academy aims for practical education.
Of course, they teach theories, but most of the basic things are learned from academies, families, or teachers when they are not adults.
And there are separate academies that teach subjects that require deep knowledge in the first place.
Grovundt is an academy that creates people who can fight.
The current period seems peaceful as there are not many human wars, but in reality it is not.
The threat of being called a monster. And criminals and dark groups who hide somewhere and see an opportunity.
The continent of Pantaria is a really gigantic continent.
In terms of the size of the continents, they are larger than the Earth.
Many monsters that threaten humans live in this vast land mass.
These guys are very hostile to humans, perhaps because they have been instinctively learned from birth.
Of course, not only humans, but similar human species such as elves and dwarves are also the same.
It is said that strong military force is essential against the threat of such monsters.
The entrance exam for the academy also starts with that purpose.
It is an academy where various people gather as freshmen.
From noble mtl dot com.
It is a natural fact that the effectiveness of education will be reduced if people with very different levels are driven into one place.
So, in the entrance exam, the strong and the weak are distinguished through minimal filtering.
And it’s because it’s definitely better to give education accordingly.
The entrance exam is tomorrow.
Bald waited for the test with anticipation.
There are 5 items in the test.
First of all, handwriting.
This is a relatively basic common sense that you should know as an academy member.
However, there is a story that this written test is just an assortment in Growundt, which is centered on actual combat.
The important thing is the four practical tests.
First, a physical ability test.
Test how much the body can move.
It only evaluates the performance of a pure body without magic.
Secondly, mana and aura output tests.
Basically check your magic power,
Know your Aura Floor achievement and Magic Circle achievement.
The third is the magic and aura operation test.
The grade is a gangster, but the efficiency of operation is also important.
Test what kind of destructive power you can produce with your organs using magical power management.
Fourth, the practical ability test.
Even if all abilities are excellent, it is meaningless if you cannot use them in actual combat.
The flower of the entrance exam and a huge festival announcing the beginning of Growundt Academy.
A tournament match between freshmen.
Classes are allocated by scoring each of the five tests.
All of these schedules are conducted over a period of one week.
Because it’s an exam starting tomorrow, Balt is just training in the morning and is resting after returning to the dormitory.
Bald muttered while reading the guidebook for the entrance exam.
“Whoops, that sounds like fun.”
The moment has come for Kwan’s son, who is aiming to conquer the continent, to vote for the best academy, where only the best talents from all continents gather.
With a thrilling heart, Balt decides.
‘I’ll show you what Geryuntu is!’
Let’s go, Geryuntu !
