Episode 126 – Defeat is only a crossroads, not the end of life
#One
1 Grade.
The time to learn magic in earnest and take a step closer to the truth.
It was also the time when the journey to a place that could not be reached in a lifetime began.
They say that each one has a different starting point, but there was a fact that the first year was usually the limit.
but this is something
Why can’t those first year students see that limit?
Those who hadn’t reached yet stared blankly at the magic battle.
Those who have already passed that road watched the confrontation with an exciting expression.
[Ignio]
Class 3 magic flew towards the opponent casually.
A flash of scarlet light, shaped like a spear, stretched out toward Cale.
The mana contained in the spear was so huge that it was impossible to think of Anais from before.
Cale, who confronted him, also responded with that kind of magic.
Same 3 classes?
No, she chose to reproduce the same skill that Anais and the instructor had shown her.
[Anima]
gurrr
Destroying higher level magic with class 2 magic.
It required delicate control to just watch it once and follow it.
If everyone could follow what they saw, the level that first graders have to learn would have been much higher.
A fever blew.
Even in the hot air, the two wizards did not stop chanting.
I turned my mana and used my head to concoct a spell.
Class 1, Class 2, Class 3.
The magic that was fired regardless of its power was brutal.
It was great again.
The use of magic, aiming for vital points with low-power magic and hitting them, was certainly admirable.
“Ohh, as expected, the magic battle seen with both eyes is amazing.”
“Professor Trevor, aren’t you interested in these games?”
Droopy eyebrows, thick eyebrows and small pupils.
But Trevor, whose eyes were blazing bright inside, nodded.
A bitter smile hung on his lips.
The person who asked the question next to him saw Professor Trevor’s expression and hurriedly poured out an excuse.
It was a known fact that he was scouted from the outskirts.
It’s hard to see a wizard, they say, he grew up in a rural corner.
“Oops, I made a mistake. I never meant to disparage it.”
“Ah, I know. Don’t be fooled. Isn’t it amazing To see such children perform such great magic.”
His eyes brightened momentarily.
A battle that is so high-quality that you want to record it as a lifetime video and keep it in your possession.
As if to show that wizards have to grow like that, the use of textbooks was visible.
“hahahaha, that’s right. To be honest, I am also surprised. I thought it would be just because they were first graders… … You are showing high-level magic.”
“Is that so? It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person, but I think I know it’s amazing. envious.”
“These are the children we need to lead. Keep an eye on it.”
Trevor’s eyes twinkled in deep agreement.
Did you say Cale and Anais?
It was a brilliant talent.
It was a talent that shined so brightly that I wanted to have it.
It was carefully and clearly captured in my mind.
Regardless of victory or defeat, just by showing high-level magic, he wanted to polish it into a more beautiful stone.
That was the fundamental mindset of the teacher.
“Looks like you’re about to finish it now.”
“-yes. Let’s watch.”
As if they had made a promise, the two watched the game in silence.
In the battle between biting and biting, the two of them came to the point where they almost used up their mana.
Both of them were quite shocked, especially Cale’s expression, which even hardened before he knew it.
Yeah, to be honest, it wasn’t that I lacked confidence.
He didn’t know whether he was harboring confidence or arrogance, but Anais thought he hadn’t reached his level yet.
However, after bumping into it myself, I realized that the assumption was arrogance.
His friend would have risked his life to improve his skills.
Even if Manus was there to guide him, in the end, his own efforts were what perfected his skills.
So hatred for myself reared its head.
‘I’ve been too lazy up until now.’
Anais’ growth has been remarkable.
In the beginning, just like he did.
If it was now, wouldn’t it have surpassed the real self?
In order to confirm that, I’ll have to fight with real magic.
She gritted her teeth and collected all the mana she had.
Perhaps reading Cale’s thoughts, Anais also collected all the mana and concocted a huge magic.
“I’ll end it with this one room.”
“-good.”
mutual consent was reached.
Cale’s eyes glowed red, and Anais’ flames turned red.
The professors who saw Anais’ magic narrowed their eyes and looked closely at her magic.
Then, in amazement, clap clap clap clap clap clap.
Even the professors could easily understand the properties of magic.
Seeing the black flame, I wondered if it might be black magic, but soon realized that it was pure flame magic.
“that is… … .”
“that’s right. This is my exclusive magic.”
“Then, me too… … .”
Even at a glance, the momentum of Anais’ magic.
It burns like a faint lingering fire, but also has a strength that never goes out.
If that’s the case, I’ll have to take out my trump card myself.
‘It’s already a little too revealing, but.’
Disruption will come.
There must be a reason why Manus also knew how to use this kind of magic but hid it.
Cale looked at Manus momentarily with an uneasy mind.
Same goes for Anais.
both of them knew
The blow that the two of them are fighting now will bring many changes in the future.
A faint smile was clearly visible from a distance.
He nodded slightly to the two of them.
＜Don’t hesitate.＞
Apparently, his expression seemed to say so, and both of them squeezed in mana tightly.
The reason for hesitation is gone.
It is up to them to handle it in the future.
Maybe, you can get the knowledge you need to attack the tower.
There were not only good people in the world, but there must be good people.
The freshmen who made up their minds completed their magic with terrifying momentum.
Cale’s exclusive patent, a strange form that breaks two or more magics and creates a new one, appeared.
[Ventus] – [Igniera]
[Double Spread]
A fever blew.
It was a craze with destructive power on a different level from [Atablus], which was forged by one class.
Cale’s red eyes shone dangerously.
Seeing this, the professors jumped up from their seats.
“what-!”
“… … Bar, did you just see it?”
“Can this really happen?”
It was something that shouldn’t have happened.
It was something that had never happened before, and it was a phenomenon believed to be impossible.
What is the origin of magic?
The magic circle that makes up each magic is an independent entity.
It was the magic circle that did not allow any intervention.
The reason why magicians are vulnerable to external shocks also started from the ‘magic circle’.
The reason why yeongchang and casting speed are more important than anything else also stems from that.
“Huh… … that way.”
“I don’t think anyone can do that.”
The professors forgot about the evaluation and began to practice magic as a test.
However, no other professor has been able to successfully combine the two magics like Cale.
In the meantime, the magic of the two was completed.
The black salt that consumed everything and the hot wind that destroyed everything growled to eat each other.
The scorching heat spread not only to the stadium but also to the spectators.
The audience watched the final game with bated breath.
[Anais Exclusive Plane: Disolut – Satur]
[Solario Ventus]
A thermal storm comparable to the solar wind collided with black, devouring flames.
Each heated up to consume each other’s magic.
The two of them were so soaked that they didn’t know if they were sweating because it was hot or to control their mana.
As if two dragons were competing, the red flame and the black flame intertwined and began to fight.
The two magics, which had been tossing and turning, soon began to eat the other, and the direction of the match tilted.
“-ah.”
It was the first time.
The appearance of one’s magic being pushed by someone.
I was sure that I would never be pushed back by my peers.
I believed that my magic was very special because it resembled that person.
It was as if the light, as bright as the sun, was being eaten by the darkness.
A brilliant flame went out.
It was eaten by a dark flame and lost its light.
Flinching, Cale flicked a finger.
‘I’m dizzy.’
The reddish eyes followed the pattern of mana.
A special magic created by overlapping Altus three times.
The magic circles of Altus, hidden in the thick flame, scattered here and there.
She instinctively felt it.
That magic wasn’t the kind that could be destroyed with one’s own ability.
No, it would be more accurate to say that he cannot handle mana due to lack of knowledge and skills yet.
There was no mana left to use other magic.
“-hahahaha.”
Emotions welling up from the depths of the heart.
It wasn’t despair or envy, it was resentment over the fact that he had lost.
want to win
I don’t want to lose next time.
Emotions I had never felt in my life stirred up.
What should Manus say when he sees himself feeling this way?
she said, raising her hand.
“-I lost.”
“The match is over! With Candidate Cale’s abstention, the winner is Candidate Flois Anais.”
aaa-!
Fierce cheering followed.
Cale smiled as he watched the cheers that had been poured out on him over the past month move to Anais.
Losers don’t say anything.
She also gave a small round of applause and congratulated her heartily.
Anais waved her hand around, then gasped towards Cale.
She already knew the feeling of the person looking at her back.
I knew the feeling of looking at the back of the person left alone.
“Kale, are you okay?”
“Yes, congratulations.”
“You haven’t used up all your mana? Let’s go to the infirmary immediately.”
Cale smiled bashfully and shook his head.
Because there was something I wanted to do first.
The infirmary is next -.
“Are you going to put me in the student council?”
“huh? of course! however… … Won’t you be scolded by your seniors? What if I can’t climb the tower?”
“There is no such thing.”
The two turned their heads.
Manus, who had come down to the arena, was smiling at the two of them.
Allano, Nia, and even the freshman classmates all came down and poured out encouragement.
Cale clenched his fists.
I made up my mind, saying that it is impossible to be eaten by negative emotions when so many people are by my side.
Manus looked at it and opened his mouth.
“Keep trying. Your story is just the beginning.”
“-yes.”
she laughed.
As expected, I felt the happiest when I was with these people.
When I was having such a happy time, a rather stiff voice broke the atmosphere.
“Kale student. Come to my lab for a while when you get better.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
Cale nodded his head lightly.
It was as if he knew what he was going to say and why he was calling him.
Manus looked at the scene and casually threw a word.
“I hope you didn’t ask about useless things.”
“-I agree.”
Beside him, Alano nodded.
The selection of the student council president is over.
The first year student council president was won by the daughter of the Floys family.
And, an even more important problem awaited them.
