Episode 87. 1st semester midterm exam (6)
It was hard.
Because of the burning pain all over my body.
However, it was not to the extent that he was likely to die or severely restricted his actions.
So it wasn’t a penalty.
In other words, it works like a stimulant that boosts adrenaline.
“Wooa…”
What method should I use to win against Tree without weapons?
Using ‘selection and concentration’ on magical power to overwhelm you with superior speed of operation?
That’s impossible. on this street.
Before I even poured my magic into the rite, the blade would come into my neck.
The answer was only a six-shot battle.
Against the strongest swordsman who will become a swordsman in the future, barehanded.
Ironically, that was the method with the highest win rate.
How about a way to operate the internal circuit to the maximum?
‘I don’t see a way to win.’
no.
The opponent is a monster that has made fun of me over and over, even when fighting with the same sword.
Even if you invest ‘selection and concentration’ into agility or strength, it’s probably only going to run away from the sword.
You can’t invest your power in something that doesn’t make any sense.
Still, I decided not to give up.
You should try it first.
“start!”
At the same time as the signal, the tree came up to this side as well.
The first blow will target the neck and swing the sword.
First, by strengthening the body with the internal circuit, avoid only that…
The next one is…
err i don’t know
Avoid it for now and think about it.
“What?!”
“···········?”
Trier’s eyes widened and he stopped.
She doesn’t lose her composure just because she’s surprised.
He must have stopped because he found something threatening to approach.

Ji Yiying…
There was a crackling sound.
on my right side
I turned my stiff head and looked down at my right hand.
An unbelievable sight was unfolding below.
‘What is this…?’
A blue flash of light was slowly coming down from his palm.
I wondered what the hell this was, so my accident stopped for a moment.
In a way, the crackling and flickering of the light looked like electricity and at other times it looked like a beam of light.
The pillar of light descended almost to my toes and stopped expanding.
I had a strong impulse.
A strong impulse that is difficult to explain with reasons or evidence.
The impulse was telling me to embrace this light now.
It was impossible to resist that instinct-like impulse.
Paah…!
As he clenched his right fist, the shape of the light pillar changed.
The pillars, which had split into several branches and scattered light, were suddenly gathering in one place again.
Soon, the pillar of light took the shape of a long rod held in my hand.
no it’s not a stick
This······
“Great sword?!”
okay. It was a long sword.
Although it was crackling and trembling, it did not take on a distinct and smooth form.
But a handle that you can wrap your hand around.
Guards stretched out to the sides.
And looking at the blue blade drawn out for a long time, there was no other way to call it a long sword.
“under······.”
A smirk leaked out.
It was only now that he realized the identity of this purging lightsaber.
A weapon that changes into an optimal form for the user.
it was bape
After being absorbed by the right hand, when it is quiet, why do you want to be like this?
Apparently, the barpe had been transformed into a weapon that used magical energy as fuel.
As proof of that, the internal circuits are busy now, but I haven’t had a nosebleed, didn’t feel dizzy, or collapsed.
The last time I was eroded by magical energy, and when I died, it didn’t come out, so I only use the magic energy generated in the internal circuit as fuel.
For a short time, he rolled his head and grasped the characteristics of the bar as much as possible.
“Wow…. I didn’t know there were still surprises left, sir.”
“Stop calling me a teacher.”
“why?”
“Because I’m embarrassed to lose after being called a teacher.”
“Huh. Are you already eating ground rice?”
Trier raised his sword again and took a stance.
I think I pretended to be surprised when something crawls out of my hand…
He seemed to be waiting for me to pull out my weapon and grab it.
Thanks to this, a fair fight was accomplished.
I also have to fight without using my abilities.
In 3 matches, the remaining magic power was about 30…
This alone would be enough to turn the internal circuit.
“It’s a side dish. It can’t be.”
I also raised my sword of light high and took a pose.
It was the same upper class as Trier.
An attitude that focuses only on attack, not on defense.
If you try to defend Trier’s sword halfway, you’ll get 100% through it.
I’m much more hopeful that my sword will be faster.
Apparently the tree had the same thoughts.
“Come on. To the tree.”
“Khhhh!”
Each other’s swords rushed towards each other at the same time.
The blade flew at exactly the same angle, but in the opposite direction.
At this rate, it would be a draw.
Artifacts will slightly raise the hand of the faster side, but in reality, both of them are blown away.
And for any swordsman who has something to protect, he never chooses to fight like that.

Jiying!
The orbits of the two swords shifted at the same time, and they collided between us.
Instead of a clear metallic sound, a crackling sound echoed through the stadium.
moment of clash.
At that moment, the sensation that reached his fingertips was different from usual.
Originally, the sword trembled and the vibration had to be transmitted along the handle, but this time there was no feeling.
In other words, this sword of light absorbed all the shocks.
It’s different from usual, so it’s a bit awkward…
This was never a drawback.
“No! It feels like something is speeding up…!”
Without time to stiffen, he immediately attempted a counterattack on the next day.
It was Trier who was pushed to the defense by this.
It was the opposite of usual.
The more the sword collided, and the faster the sword moved, the faster the speed gap between me and the tree grew.
I have to end it when I am superior…
“Aha. I see.”
“Wow!”
Treer quickly read the cause of the speed difference.
It changed from defensive to offensive, and it had penetrated into my arms.
If the long swords get too close together, they won’t be able to wield it much.
In other words, there is no such thing as a major shock.
“I’ve never won in wrestling, have I?”
“sh*t······.”
Things got very messed up.
My left hand is on Trier’s right wrist.
Trier’s left hand is on my right wrist.
It looked like they were fighting each other’s swords, sealing each other’s swords.
But I know because I’ve been through this kind of fight a few times.
This is not a matter of being stubborn by force.
In the end, it means you have to throw away the sword.
Whoops…!
Tree’s sword rolled on the floor.
At the same time, I stretched out my right hand, and the pillar of light was sucked back into my palm in an instant.
I had to fight quickly.
Without the Bape, I have to fully receive the magical energy generated by the internal circuit through my body.
“Ugh!”
Trier grabbed my arm and smashed my knee.
There was no way to stop it.
The only option is to lower the back as much as possible to reduce the impact force and start a counterattack.
Time was really tight.
There was only one way to catch the tree within that time.
Putting a single critical hit to limit your actions.
To be honest, it’s close to impossible to hit an almost perfectly protected vital point in the tree with my skills.
It was the most realistic to apply a debuff from pain by inflicting a strong blow somehow, even if it was not a vital point.
“Uh, eh?”
And the opportunity came sooner than expected.
Trier was conscious of my kick, and the staff was twisted.
It was an opportunity to attack the upper body.
I swung my arms, aiming for the very fleeting moment when Trier couldn’t move.
Then, the tree will inevitably protect its vital point, the head.
However, my goal was the shoulder, not the head.
Whoa!
“Ahhh!”
The blade slammed down properly, smashing Tree’s shoulder blade.
done.
Trie was the first to critically strike.
From now on, as long as you don’t be vigilant, I can easily win…
“uh?”
I have to get it
At that moment, my body suddenly heard.
Trier grabbed my arm as if it was embracing it, then turned around and carried me on my back.
what. Where have you seen this technique?
At that moment, my vision suddenly changed.
Paang!
“Kuh huh!”
I just hit my back on the ground.
kick off…. Lift up….
I forgot.
The tree had mastered all martial arts.
Being hit by the judo technique the moment he gave up his arm was in a way as natural as the providence of nature.
No, I don’t think it makes sense to do a lift with a broken shoulder in the first place.
“I got it, sir.”
“Ugh.”
As my back was whining and I was not listening, a chestnut fell on my forehead.
sh*t. I’m done.
“It is surrender.”
“Whoa!”
As soon as I shouted surrender, the pain that seemed to burn my whole body disappeared.
However, the pain as if his back had turned to powder remained the same.
I grabbed Tree’s hand and struggled to get up.
Tree was wagging her left arm, but it didn’t look painful at all.
Is this a person…?
“Uh-huh, what? I won!”
“Yes. Congratulations.”
“No! It’s not! I won, so I’m not the first class leader?”
I wanted to talk about something because I suddenly made a fuss with a trembling voice.
He’s weak against acid.
“Don’t worry. Even considering this, I’m barely the senior.”
“Ah. Really? Wow! I’m glad. You knew I was in trouble!”
“If I had been so worried, I wouldn’t have lost. Then it would have been clear.”
“Ah. How can you watch the game. It can’t be.”
If I add up the scores of the previous test and the surprise test, even if I get 2nd in this tournament, I will barely win the first year’s first semester combat magic major.
With this, one of the two majors was able to feel at ease.
In fact, it was the final match that was enough to win or lose, but thanks to my best efforts, I had no regrets.
“What are you guys fighting so fiercely? Congrats, Tree. You win the tournament.”
“Thank you, Professor.”
“Go to the medical staff immediately. Get treatment from the shoulder first.”
“Yep!”
“Can’t you get back treatment?”
“Yes. It will be fine.”
It was still a little tingly, but it wasn’t to the point that I couldn’t stand it.
I smiled mischievously and straightened my back.
ah ah It hurts so much.
Will I get treatment too?
“Shulus. I have a nosebleed.”
“Ahh…. Yes.”
I turned around and quickly wiped the nosebleed.
But the way the students looked at me was unusual.
It was very talkative, but I couldn’t hear well because I was tired.
The winner is Trie, why are you looking at me like that?
Actually, I didn’t have time to think about that.
The elemental magic test is until tomorrow.
I have to go back today and devote myself to the exam.
“Shulus!”
“Tree. Are your shoulders okay?”
“You said you’re fine, hehehe. I’ve been told to refrain from strenuous exercise for the time being.”
“Yeah. You’d better refrain.”
“So, I’m only going to do 200 pushups today.”
“············”.
That’s how restrained it was.
The way of thinking itself was different from mine.
“How many do you usually do?”
“500 pieces.”
“Is that restraint…?”
“Even if you do 200, you can’t do it all at once, but divide it up!”
Do you mean to reduce the burden on your shoulders by dividing it?
No wait.
divided?
“ah.”
“Why, Schlus?”
“Thank you, Trie! Thank you so much!”
“Huh? I’m sweaty?!”
Thanks to the tree, a wonderful idea came to mind.
A good idea to break through the stuck problems.
I was so happy that I stopped and hugged the tree tightly.
Kekw that’s a good idea
