233 – We were more desperate
“Oh!”
“As expected, Trixie is different.”
As they looked at Trixie unleashing blue flames, the representatives of the Magic Faculty did not hold back on their admiration.
Most of the matches that have been played so far have been in the form of the knight side overpowering and the magic department side barely fighting back, but this time it was different.
Trixie was playing with full control of the arena, and the guard across from him was completely focused on repelling attacks.
“The escort knights were also objects of fear….”
“… Yes, it was definitely like that.”
There were various stories from the audience. Awareness of the Faculty of Magic was skyrocketing in just two days.
It wasn’t even a matter of achieving victory using treacherous methods. Trixie was currently suppressing the opponent with only her flames.
Kaang─!
Surprisingly, this was the sound of swords and flames clashing. The girl gave her magnetic flame a ‘strength’ that was stronger than steel.
“Becky.”
Lewis suddenly called Becky.
“How does it compare to your ice strength?”
“To be honest, it looks sturdier…. Rather than that, was giving strength to elements a possible approach?”
“Nothing can’t happen.”
Flan intervened in an indifferent voice.
“It is a narrow-minded idea that properties, including strength, cannot be assigned. “You can escape as much as you want.”
“Why haven’t I done it yet?”
“Trixie just worked harder.”
“… No. “I worked hard too.”
Becky protested vigorously in her own way. Because, truly, he worked hard and did his best.
Flan continues her words in a calm tone.
“You, too, need to think that it is not ice while handling it. “If you don’t belong to anything, you can imitate anything.”
“Ah….”
It was only then that Becky nodded. An indifferent attitude is an attitude, but it was because he felt that Flan was trying to teach him something.
“If I were you, I would try to make ice flow. It won’t flow completely like water, but since it’s not completely water, the value would be enormous.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
A beat after answering, Becky was startled.
“Huh? Wait a minute, so what Trixie is dealing with now is…. “So, strictly speaking, it’s not even a flame?”
“You can’t call it a flame.”
“Wow….”
Becky opened his mouth and looked at Trixie on the pitch.
Doesn’t this mean that Trixie, who didn’t learn anything other than flame for her pride in flames, has now begun to understand other properties in order to create stronger flames?
When a human wizard selects an attribute as his specialty and uses it, his constitution changes accordingly. So, how much effort did Trixie put into changing her constitution?
‘Amazing.’
I could only express admiration.
If my effort or talent had been mediocre, I would have ended up with an ambiguous body that could not use fire or other attributes.
However, to prevent such a situation from occurring, Trixie trained herself endlessly. As the expression goes, endlessly.
Flan nodded quietly.
“Trixie always had determination.”
It’s strange to be successful without even knowing what success is.
It’s strange to achieve a goal without even knowing what it is.
So, Trixie had it.
She had a future that she had clearly envisioned in a corner of her mind, and a goal that she was determined to achieve. And he was even confident that he would not fail.
Becky felt his shoulders tremble slightly as he vaguely felt those emotions. Even though they were the same age, Trixie felt different.
I couldn’t help but feel confused because Trixie’s level seemed so far away, but Becky didn’t take her eyes off Trixie.
… He wanted to see clearly and chase after him too.
◈
Kagagagak─!
As he watched the blade lose all its teeth due to the flames, complex emotions appeared on the guard knight’s face.
I didn’t even feel angry.
Something I couldn’t fully understand was happening right in front of my eyes, so all I could do was shake my head in confusion and try to understand.
“….”
I can’t speak.
Human instincts are very cold-hearted, and they transmit information faster than you think.
Yes, before the escort knight could think about anything, an instinctive alarm rang. He said that the blue girl he is dealing with now is very strong.
“Don’t avoid it.”
Trixie’s one word weighed down like a weight.
Her straight gaze seemed to pierce the body of the guard knight. The tip of the sword of the guard knight, who still did not understand the situation, was increasingly trembling, but Trixie’s blue flames were gradually finding calm, as if forming her lake.
Trixie’s words come to mind again.
─This is not a game that will take a long time.
She thought it was some kind of bluff, but it was increasingly proving that Trixie’s words were not bluff. The escort driver was furious about that.
“Someone is avoiding it!”
She didn’t ignore Trixie from the beginning. She didn’t underestimate the wizard, but she was quite surprised that he showed more skills than she expected.
“… “I will go with all my might here too.”
As the escort knight chewed and spit out, Trixie quietly nodded her head. She didn’t need any more conversation between them.
‘I won.’
And as soon as she saw the face of the guard knight with gritted teeth, Trixie was confident of her victory.
The guard didn’t seem to let down his guard, but on the other hand, she desperately believed that she could beat Trixie by focusing.
If she won’t bend, I have no choice but to bend.
Boom! Thud! Thud!
The entire ground shook and blue fire pillars began to rise here and there. The guard knight’s eyes widened.
Because right now, at this moment, Trixie has exceeded expectations again.
“Ugh… !”
The guard knight moved forward step by step, avoiding or cutting down the pillars. As well-skilled swordsmanship continued, the steel-like pillars of flame were cut down one by one.
However.
Paang─!
Now flames like arrows began pouring from the sky.
Trixie’s expression was relaxed, as if she would not even allow the escort knight to approach.
“… !”
The guard knight, who realized his intention, gritted his teeth even more. He was born as a knight and was defeated without even approaching a wizard. There could be no greater humiliation than that.
‘Mana is a finite power anyway.’
Oh my!
The guard knight increased his sword attack once or twice. With this level of output, it wouldn’t take much time to run out of mana.
The moment you use up all your mana, it’s over.
Wow! Sigh! Sigh….
How many minutes passed like that?
When he finally became covered in sweat after swinging his sword again and again, embarrassment slowly began to spread over the guard knight’s face.
‘How much more…? ?’
Good luck!
“Kwaaak!”
The moment he had that question, one of his feet was engulfed in flames. The shock of dipping his foot into a furnace hit the guard knight’s brain.
“It doesn’t make sense….”
If you think about it, the ‘powerful output’ itself may not be surprising. This is because everyone has a trump card.
However.
Rurrr!
There was no end to Trixie’s flames. Like a waterfall flowing from its origin to an unknown end, it pours down towards the guard knight to the extent that it creates the illusion of infinity.
‘This won’t work.’
The moment the escort driver thought that.
Quang!
The guard knight could not avoid the explosion that occurred beneath his feet. It’s because his ankle hasn’t completely healed.
“Wow!”
He ended up rolling several times on his floor in an ugly manner. Only after he plunged his sword into the ground was he able to stop it.
“Ugh….”
Now I can’t put any strength into one foot at all. There is no feeling. Trixie’s flames were that powerful.
“How on earth…?” .”
“It’s a simple story.”
Trixie looked down indifferently and continued speaking.
“We were just more desperate than you.”
“….”
The escort driver looked up at Trixie and couldn’t say anything.
It was not because his situation was unfavorable or because he was afraid of Trixie’s flames, but simply because he saw a certain desire in her eyes.
Something that seems to sparkle more transparently than any other gem in the world. There was something like that in the girl’s eyes.

I had no choice but to accept it without realizing it.
“… Is it.”
The next moment, the knight’s vision turned blue.
It was a moment when there was a clear difference between victory and defeat.
