Chapter 134
purpose is to test.
It is not a real battle to defeat the opponent for sure, but to show off one’s skills and be evaluated.
then.
‘I have to be conscious of a certain performance.’
The first number was roughly thought out.
In the first place, the number of magic I could use was not so great if I limited it to the skills of the common magic class.
Class 1-2 magic. It is only used in class, so it is rarely used in practice.
‘But if it’s about the test… … .’
It doesn’t matter.
I smiled leisurely and stretched out my arms.
wind shot.
Among the spells of the common magic class, I sometimes use them in actual combat.
Since it is for quick containment, it is appropriate as a first measure.
“Fast… … .”
A murmur of admiration.
Silin recognized the wind pressure bullet I had fired and aimed his staff at it.
Papapang!
A series of blue flashes in the air makes a noise like a burst balloon.
It defended by spreading magic power and creating a small area like a barrier.
“… … 3 shots in a row in a short amount of time. It’s a 1st circle magic, but it’s pretty good.”
“Thank you for the compliment. But this is just the beginning.”
It’s all about checking and estimating the opponent’s capabilities.
With that kind of reaction speed, he’s probably quite skilled among the senior riders.
‘Then I won’t get hurt even if I try my best.’
Feel free to show off your skills.
The moment I was about to enter the casting, I felt signs of an increase in magical power from that senior.
Since the concession of the first move is over, it seems that the other side is about to attack.
“Flare Whip.”
3 circle fire magic.
When the chant ends, a whip of red flame appears around her, as if a snake coiled around it.
“Wrap around.”
As he pointed his staff at me, a whip of flame extended toward me.
‘It’s fast and the trajectory is complex… … . I used a method that could not be avoided simply by guessing.’
It was a skillful casting to the point that I almost inadvertently responded with black magic.
‘But rules are rules… … .’
how to respond
Quickly rolling the attack pattern in my head, I immediately went into magic for countermeasures.
‘It’s not that simple. If it’s a flame, I’ll just pour water on it.’
Avoid the chasing whip and complete the next spell.
water darts.
Attack magic equivalent to Circle 1.
A water dart of about 15 cm was created and stuck to my hand.
It’s easy to learn with just the textbook, and it’s not flashy, so it’s also effective for surprise attacks.
“The sangseong is as it is. However, its power is weak in Circle 1.”
I know. i know.
However, with the power of a single shot, I couldn’t learn a common magic that could offset that flame whip.
No, I didn’t have to.
“It’s up to you to use even weak magic.”
Accurately throw the water dart you created.
The whip strikes the dart like crushing it, and it vaporizes right away.
Like that senpai said, it must be weak to offset with this.
but.
“Then we just need to mobilize a little more.”
A dart thrown directly is a performance deliberately displayed so that no one knows the next move.
“The real one is this way.”
When I pointed to the floor, dozens of small magic circles were already waiting there.
“… … A magic circle engraved on an object.”
“Did you hear?”
“Ah, it was you who performed the rumored trick.”
Enchantment casting.
It seems that all the guys who use some magic got word of mouth.
“If you do this, you will be able to respond with multiple 1st circle magic.”
Pretend to snap your fingers.
Water darts were ejected upwards from the magic circle spread on the floor.
Like a rain shower rising upside down.
Chiyiyi profit!
With a loud sound, the whip of fire swept away by several water darts vanished in vain.
“Then stop using other magic… … . Ugh.”
I immediately tried to use a different type of magic, but Shilin senpai hurriedly swung his staff to block another wind shot from me.
“Oh~! It’s a shame. Then we’ll keep pushing. Be careful.”
Of course, I am at a disadvantage in the present confrontation, which must be limited to common magic skills if I stick to the standard.
then?
“There is no dignity, but if there is none, we have to push forward.”
It fires wind shots and water darts alternately in succession.
To express it sensibly, it feels like putting it in a series of shots and shooting it.
It’s only class 1 magic, but if you practice enough, you can shoot it repeatedly while running.
“Even more so, there is plenty of room for the amount of magic power.”
“this… … danger… … sun… … .”
Silin’s complexion changes.
It is seen that the lips are tightly shut and the strength and mental power are mobilized.
Papa papa papa papa papa papa papa!
The tempo of the sound exploding in the air gradually increases.
At the same time as Silin hits the blue barrier with his magic power, I start a rampage of 1st class magic at full speed.
Papa papa papa papa papa papa papa papa!
Against the solid barrier, I no longer had any restraints and threw my magic wildly.
“The iron rule of anti-personnel magic warfare. It is best not to give the opponent time to sing.”
A teaching engraved on the first page of the human magic warfare textbook.
“You can put pressure on your opponent not only with cunning tactics, but also with a push like this.”
The other person probably won’t even have time to answer. No, you won’t hear what I’m saying properly.
“Will the mana that you turn to defense run out? Or will the quantity I shoot hit the limit first?”
endurance fight.
And she must know that I have an absolute advantage in that fight.
“… … It’s the limit.”
Silin muttered as if he couldn’t do it anymore, and his magic power rapidly expanded as he slammed the staff down with all his might.

spark impact.
Circle 4 lightning magic.
A magic that strikes lightning in a fan-shaped area, giving it powerful destructive power.
“Circle 4. It looks like you showed off your skills.”
waited
If you cast a magic with great power, on the contrary, you will feel exhausted.
“ah… … .”
I heard a small sigh as if it was a disappointment, but I didn’t care and dug right in front of her nose.
“Then I will finish it.”
As if hitting it straight up, he fired five wind shots with a high-speed chant.
“Kyaaak?!”
They are swept away by the wind pressure burst from close range.
It’s a merciless act, but since he was wearing a robe with a protective effect, he probably wouldn’t have been hurt.
Still, since he’s a senior, it wouldn’t be good to leave him alone.
I sighed lightly and went over to Silin, who was lying there in a daze, and held out my hand.
He stared blankly at his hand and grabbed it and stood up.
“Are you okay?”
“There is no problem with the protective equipment. … … I was more surprised than that. Are you really a freshman?”
“The residual talent was only moderately eaten. I wouldn’t do something like this in real life.”
It would be better to speak politely and humbly than to boast.
“But if this happens, what will be the evaluation?”
“Nothing better. … … The professor probably won’t object.”
At least I wouldn’t rate it badly.
“Next time, why don’t you use black magic and compete against me?”
“… … When the opportunity arises someday, I will do it without hesitation.”
Somehow, I felt like I was being taken with a strange gaze, but what about it?
It was the time when I was about to give an appropriate answer and get out of the test room.
aaang!
A riot rings out.
Well, it’s a place where magic battles are tested, so it’s funny to react to a lot of noise.
What worries me is that the sound came from a different exam hall, not this one.
“That’s for sure… … It’s the Auror class.”
Perhaps the Auror class will take a similar test.
Strangely nervous, I went into the noisy test room on my own.
No one cared about me when I came in.
Because that wouldn’t be important now.
“… … that one.”
Black smoke rises.
Only a small portion of the shape that was probably the target remained, and it was shattered and scattered like ashes.
“Were you taking a test in the way of destroying the target… … .”
It was probably a test of how to destroy prepared targets by mobilizing acquired skills.
The problem is the person who did it and the aftermath.
The students whisper in voices faintly mixed with fear.
In front of him was a familiar girl.
“… … It was Elcia.”
Elcia Lyoleate.
And in front of her, she saw a target carbonized like ashes and black traces that seemed to have burned the surroundings as if that wasn’t enough.
“… … aha.”
understood.
While I nodded, Elcia, who hadn’t noticed that this side was still watching, coldly asked the professor who was dazed and mesmerized.
“Are you done with this?”
“That, yes, good work… … .”
The embarrassed professor hurriedly announces that Elcia’s exam is over and orders her to go back.
Elcia nodded lightly and left.
I could see her complexion to some extent.
Pretending to be calm, but suppressing confused emotions.
‘indeed… … . You seem to be suffering quite a bit.’
That wouldn’t be a good sign.
Originally, Elcia did not calmly use her abilities at the academy.
However, it was even used for testing.
‘Is this the development seen in the blackening route?’
I guess that means it’s not good.
(What are you going to do? Try to interfere again now?)
‘No, not now. … … Let’s focus on the test for now.’
There are many tests to take, and I am in a situation where my grades are my top priority.
(Are you going to take the second black magic exam, of course?)
‘I will.’
From the beginning, the magic class is the type that I mainly train, so it is easy to deal with.
(What about the rest of the test?)
According to the regulations, students must take two more tests in other classes in addition to their major classes.
And I’ve tripled because of the f*cking professors’ politics.
I took the test for the public magic class with that one, but I had to decide on two more subjects.
‘Of course, one is an alchemy class.’
There is nothing more appropriate than that.
(Well, it was a specialty for Xian.)
Emily understands, and others who know me will agree.
If it was the characteristics of the combination items required in the alchemy test, he knew pretty much everything.
Not to mention the threading.
(The last one?)
‘Actually, that was the problem.’
Even Nara, who is capable of tricks, had to think a bit about choosing three.
‘At first, I thought I’d take a rough test at least for the Auror class.’
(Oh my, that would be fine too. You’re good at punching.)
The wizard would ask what kind of martial arts test to take, but it was a surprisingly good choice.
If the goal is to get a decent score, and considering my ability, it’s a reasonable choice.
But last night, after receiving a favor from Raylin, my choice changed as I set my course.
‘I had to change my last class test application to aim for the top spot.’
(Are you going to take the spiritism test?)
That wouldn’t be too bad either.
However, there is a genius named Celidia in the Spiritual Art class. I’ll be the top in writing, but honestly, I can’t figure out what will happen in practical writing.
Same with other classes.
‘Priest class is out of the question. Because I can’t use divine power.’
(Isn’t that saintess sad?)
I was seriously flirting with you a while ago. Let’s take the priest class exam.
What does a black magician do with that?
In any case, there were not enough weak points as an acceptable option.
A definite achievement… … . No, I needed something that could show more than that.
After a short night of thinking, I found the answer.
“Actually, I was going to take the test for this subject.”
I gave Emily the name of the subject.
(Fortune…… divination?)
I can hear Emily’s puzzled voice at the name of the class that looks really unfamiliar and lacks presence.
(Is there such a subject?)
‘there is. … … And it’s a surprisingly good subject.’
Why is black magic the weakest class?
A class like astrology outperforms black magic?
‘It’s a school that really has everything.’
Anyway, the test to be taken on the second day has already been decided.
