I got up and pondered what had just happened to me.
‘I thought I had reached it… … .’
Before I knew it, I was lying on the floor.
There must be a cause for a phenomenon to occur, but I didn’t even feel a precursor.
like magic.
“There are two left.”
What number did you use? what kind of magic
I tried diligently rolling my head, but nothing came to mind.
There is a coming.
I took my stance again and slowly looked at my opponent. After experiencing a failure once, it was difficult to approach it hastily.
relatively small stature.
I was just standing still, but I couldn’t see a gap.
After catching my breath for a while, I slammed the window again. This time, he mixed with hecho.
Pretending to aim for the upper chest as before, I changed my trajectory in the air and aimed for the legs.
My arm went numb from changing the trajectory forcibly, but this time it was definitely worth it.
Tung!
The window, which was blocked by something invisible, bounced off creating a repulsive force.
I, who was holding the spear, also rolled on the floor.
got up again Although not directly damaged, the consumption of physical strength was considerable.
John across from me was looking at me with a bored face as if he was bored. I didn’t feel too good.

‘… It must have been a force field.’
I just got the hang of it now.
Force Field, one of the space-type 5th circle magic, had the property of reflecting physical force.
Depending on the skill of the caster, its power was also very different, and depending on the application, it was a magic with a more powerful use than attack magic.
I didn’t even know what had happened because the magic was activated in an instant, but fortunately, the reaction was slower than before, perhaps because of the fake.
However, what is more surprising than that is that in that short period of time, the force field was unfolded without even chanting.
You can think of it in your head, but using it in practice is a completely different area.
it’s just doing it.
‘The difference in experience.’
I knew at once. The fact that he is an expert in interpersonal warfare who has experienced countless battles.
The speed of casting magic. The application method itself was different.
“This is the last time.”
If so, how good is this skill?
How can I really bring out his skills?
The desire to win boiled over.
How can I remove the slack from that person’s face?
The conclusion I came to after much thought was simple.
‘Breaking through the front.’
It is useless. As long as I can’t use black magic anyway, the only thing I can do is face it honestly.
I didn’t have to think hard. I just need to show what I do best.
I will give you a powerful shot that you have no choice but to open your eyes and face.
I slowly stepped towards him, holding the spear tightly. A look of disappointment was evident on John’s face.
“… What is it? Have you already given up?”
Disappointment conveyed in a cold tone. I laughed strangely when I saw the sudden change of attitude like flipping a coin.
“Double Endurance Enhancement.”
one step.
“Enhancing Magical Conductivity.”
two steps.
“Enhanced cutting power.”
three steps.
“—Enhancement. Strengthen. (Strengthen). Strengthen. Strengthen. Strengthen.”
The mana-infused spear trembled as if it were responding to my will.
sense.
I took the last step.
Recalling the feeling of holding the demonic spear Axion for the first time.
“What are we going to do now… .”
I slammed the window with all my might.
bang!
An eardrum-shattering roar rang out, and strong winds blew all around.
The aftermath of the shock shook the entire gymnasium as if it had been an earthquake.
I was blinded by the dust, but the trembling I felt at the tip of the spear proved that my choice was correct.
I smiled confidently.
“It’s a shame.”
John, who appeared from the dust, looked at me and raised his mouth.
But his eyes were cold.
“Excellent.”
pop. pop.
Red water drops falling on the floor. It was dripping down his cheeks.
John’s gaze turned to the floor. Then he said softly, wiping the blood from his cheek.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve seen my blood. I never thought I would see blood in a sparring with a student… … .”
Then he took out a ring from his hand. At that moment, a tremendous amount of mana emanated from his body.
“I was genuinely surprised. I didn’t expect to break the five-layered force field at once. It’s stupid, but it’s a sure way. Thanks to you, I learned something new. As a reward for that, today’s sparring will be reflected in the evaluation of Geil-gun in the future.”
“… Go, thank you.”
“Then let’s start in earnest.”
A twinkle shone in his golden eyes. Then, the blue mana that came out of his hand covered the entire gym in an instant.
“Space Redemption.”
It was a form of magic I had never seen before. Suddenly, I started to catch my breath, and my whole body felt heavy as if I was carrying iron.
It was belatedly realized what kind of artifact John was wearing.
I don’t know why he was looking for an artifact like that, but it was clear that the ring had the ability to suppress mana.
That’s right, except for the ring, the entire gym was filled with his mana. It was so thick that it was difficult to even breathe properly.
“Multiple reinforcement.”
For a while, I was taken aback by the unexpected strengthening magic.
As soon as I blinked, John’s fist hit my face. His head went white from the shock as if his nose was being crushed.
In order to avoid follow-up hits, I instinctively widened the distance. I was surprised by the sudden attack, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t stand it.
‘One room! There is a possibility if you feed it properly with just one shot!’
Even if I tried to respond from a distance, I was the one who lost money. It’s a monster that eats martial arts, but due to the nature of being a wizard, close combat is unlikely.
‘I can’t give you a break. We have to keep pushing.’
However, it was none other than John who approached first.
He punched me incessantly, as if mocking my thoughts. I thought I had a body that wasn’t pushed much compared to the knights who had reached the state, but my mind was confused by the continuous hits.
In order to counterattack, he vigorously swung his spear, but it only cut through the air. I couldn’t breathe properly, and I was doing nothing, so I didn’t have any stamina left.
At that moment, Yohan’s kick flew towards me, who lost my balance. I was hit in the jaw without a chance to stop it. My mind went blank and my eyes closed on their own.
“Ouch.”
Losing consciousness and staggering, I barely supported myself using a spear pole as a walking stick.
“No matter how hard my body is, I can’t train my vital points.”
A blue spear appeared in John’s grasp. It was a spear made only of mana.
“You know what? Among the weapons, I also like the spear the most.”
Without even time to breathe, the windows were flooded. He reflexively turned his head to avoid it, but red blood trickled down his left cheek.
It must have been deliberately aimed at the cheek.
Did they adapt over time? I felt my body lighter than before.
After cutting off John’s spear rushing toward his abdomen, he drew a semicircle using his left foot as a pivot.
Whoo!
“The action is too obvious.”
Rather, the tip of John’s spear, which had squeezed in between them, pierced the left shoulder blade.
Impeccable, flawless action.
It was like watching a famous spearman.
I groaned in pain and swung the spear again. But the spear did not reach him. It was as if I knew where to swing and how to swing.
“If you only trust in your strength and wield it randomly, you will only expose your weaknesses to the enemy.”
I know.
I know, but there was nothing I could do. What would I have to hold a window in my life, who lived in modern times?
It was a sin not to have a teacher. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have read at least a spearmanship manual.
‘It’s sad that I’m self-taught… … .’
Suddenly the spear disappeared from his hand.
“If you want to become a Matusa, you will have to fix these shortcomings.”
After a while.
Sixteen spears floated above his head. 16 blue spears embroidering the sky. One, one boasted an enormous size.
As John lightly gestured, the 16 spears moved in perfect order as if they were one body from the beginning.
The windows that had been moving ceaselessly stopped at the same time.
It was truly amazing mana management.
He creates spears with a single gesture and uses them like his own limbs.
The one who had been hit and run like a matusa until just now was showing off his dignity as a wizard.
As if to show that this is a wizard’s battle.
“And if you aspire to become a wizard, you should know how to do this.”
I felt both admiration and horror at the shocking sight. And asked carefully.
“professor. I hope that… .”
What returned was not an answer, but spears falling from the sky.
Kwakwawang!
Whenever spears made of magical power fell on the gymnasium, fragments flew in all directions with an explosion.
Looking at the hole in the place where it fell, it seemed that even one person would be enough.
If that hits properly, it’s 100% instant death.
‘That crazy bastard!’
I ran with all my might. Goosebumps ran down my neck as the sound of an explosion came from behind me.
“professor! I heard that this is map sparring. I die!”
I screamed loudly, but whatever it was, the spears got closer and closer.
“I am dying! You bastard!”
We managed to reach the end of the gymnasium. I tried to escape outside the field, but it was impossible because it was blocked by an invisible curtain.
2 windows left.
The way I choose to live… .
“This Mr. X!”
javelin. And it was to use the gym floor.
He threw the spear he was holding in his hand and shot down one. Then, after hitting the floor, he tore off a tile and used it as a shield.
“Triple durability enhancement (三重耐久强化)!”
As soon as the reinforcement was barely finished, the spear rushed in as if waiting.
He managed to block it, but his whole body was in tatters because the shock was not enough to overcome it. It was only natural that the tile used as a shield would disappear without a trace.
I took a deep breath and struggled to get up.
“ha… . ha… . lived.”
From a distance John walked toward me.
“Excellent. Utilizing terrain features in life-and-death battles is also an essential element of being a wizard.”
After enduring the swear words that boiled from the depths of my heart, I glared at him and said,
“Didn’t you say that it was a map battle? If you get hit by that kind of magic, is it a healing magic or something, won’t you just die?”
“Then wouldn’t it be okay if it didn’t fit?”
“… yes?”
This Mr. X guy. Are you just saying it’s not your job?
“Then shall we begin the second round?”
As he finished speaking, dozens of swords floated above his head. Even at a rough estimate, 30 seemed well over. This time, it was clear that he was going to kill me.
It was then.
A gray-haired man walked from the corner of the gymnasium.
“How about we end it there? Professor Johan Cruyff.”
John’s face cooled down when he saw him. The cheerful look he showed earlier was gone, and he returned with his usual boring face, as if he had become a different person.
“Dean McDowell… ? What did you come here for… ?”
“How about getting rid of that first?”
As John beckoned, the swords embroidered in the air quickly disappeared.
“So why are you here?”
“As you know, this was a place I used to use as a training ground.”
“ah… . It was… .”
That baby. I’m sure I didn’t know, so I bet my hands. By the way, why did a person like the dean come to such a remote place?
“That’s right. So, without my knowledge, I came to practice as usual, but belatedly realized that the newly created S-Class was here. I’m sorry for interrupting class as a result.”
“okay… . No, that’s fine.”
“But what about your cheeks?”
“I was slightly injured during the map sparring.”
asked McDowell, surprised.
“what? You mean you’re hurt? And while sparring with students?”
John nodded his head as if he was too lazy to answer. McDowell didn’t care about John’s appearance and continued talking.
“How can someone like you… . Are you this student? What is your name?”
“My name is Seil Sieghart.”
McDowell’s eyes lit up when he heard my name.
“Seil Sieghart… . Right… . You are that Sieghart.”
From noble mtl dot com
“yes.”
His eyes began to scan my body. Somehow, the actions of the professors were all the same.
If you want to see a tattered body anyway, look at it as much as you want. Now I didn’t even have the strength to argue.
As if the scan had finished, McDowell came towards me and grabbed my hand.
“you. Do you have any intention of becoming my disciple?”
