The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter chapter 234

234 - Challenge

234 – Challenge

The Imperial Magic Tower had efficient construction knowledge based on magic. It was technical knowledge that took care of the fast construction speed, solid building durability, and aesthetics.

The technology was also being used to build the new Märchen Academy campus. It was possible because Merchen Academy received the support of the imperial family.

Several buildings that were destroyed during the Alice Carroll incident were also repaired with a cleaner appearance than before by applying the technology.

Before long, the staff who had been using the Marzio building as a temporary administrative office returned to the Bartos building.

midday. The door to the Bartos Hall student council room opened.

Unexpectedly, Erin, a female student who was acting as student council president, turned her head toward the door. Both of her eyes widened.

“President… ?”

Alice Carroll is back.

* * *

With the completion of Bartos Hall repairs and the return of the student council president, the cracks in the administrative system were quickly resolved.

Alice took care of the overdue work like flowing water, and the student council systematically took turns to restore the administration.

Dorothy met me as soon as the punishment was over and turned around and asked if anything had happened with Alice. When he said that nothing had happened, Dorothy, who could detect lies, moved on with relief.

The end-of-semester evaluations were over and it was time for the vacation ceremony.

As a result of summing up the scores of all the evaluations I took during the semester, my rank within the Faculty of Magic was confirmed as 3rd in the entire school. It was a rather satisfactory result.

Moving into the top-ranked dormitory, Charles Hall, next semester is a definite matter. If you look closely at the class assignment evaluation, you should be in Class A.

“I’m sorry I caught you.”

“no! I’m really sorry I’ve been avoiding you for so long… !”

Near the campus, in front of the hideout in Josena Forest.

Tea was brewed by Kaya, who was sitting at an outdoor table. The appearance of standing upright with the upper body stiffened. He seemed nervous, like a job seeker who had come for a job interview.

I sat across from Kaya and sipped my tea.

Normally, Kaya avoided me when I approached, and secretly watched me from afar like a girl with a crush on me. Recently, I heard news that they were praising me.

That’s why I grabbed her by the wrist and brought her by force.

“I’ll ask you directly.”

Aside from Kaya being embarrassed about her bare face.

“Your different personality, can’t you see it these days?”

“How can I… ?”

Kaya was amazed.

why don’t you know I couldn’t let Kaya keep avoiding me when I had such a bad personality.

Usually Aksik’s Kaya was on the side of suddenly visiting and showing affection. Even more so, now that my identity has been revealed, there was no way I wouldn’t intervene in my daily life.

“… In fact, it hasn’t come out since the Alice Carroll incident. The symptoms are similar to last year’s joint training evaluation. Will it get better if I swallow the demons again… .”

“Do you go home on vacation?”

“Yes.”

“Try eating the monster meat that has a lot of magical power. Then you will be fine.”

“… … ?”

A creature imbued with magical power has no taste. This was especially true for witches with good quality magical power.

Nutrients are also lacking compared to normal animals, and it does not have a positive effect on the magic power of the person who eats it.

So, the demand for monster meat was very low, so there was almost no supply.

However, in the vast Duchy of Astreang, there must be monsters that are ferocious to humans. Since you will have to hunt such monsters anyway, he advised you to cook and eat them if possible.

Even if he did that much, Aksik’s personality would have been revived intact.

Kaya opened her mouth and let out an exclamation in her usual sweet and cute voice.

“As expected, Isaac-sama knows a lot… ! To see through even the things about my personality… .”

“I noticed it during the joint training evaluation.”

Fortunately, Kaya seemed to have calmed down and continued the conversation.

He said that he was sorry that he made me suffer because of being eaten by the abyss. There will be enemies in the future, but he also explained that they will appear outside the academy. I was hesitant to say that I was pretty. Kaya blushed and licked her lips.

Kaya tends to view our relationship vertically. Because I treat people I admire as a different person. It was similar to how ordinary people treat their favorite celebrities.

Kaya’s behavioral patterns also stemmed from that psychology. So, for me, it was difficult to treat her like Dorothy or Luce.

‘It’s cute though.’

It’s cute like my favorite character, but what does it matter?

When the story was over, Kaya timidly drank the tea cup with both hands. He wondered if he was happy that I complimented his appearance.

… …

Most of the students had a good rest and were preparing to return to their hometowns. I could tell by looking at the landscape of the empty training ground.

The sky had been overcast since evening, and it rained little by little. Inside the training ground, the desolate silence and damp humidity made me feel very comfortable.

It started with training to fire 7-star ice elemental magic, [Ice Bleed], at a target.

It was easy to hit the target 50m away, but the difficulty rose rapidly after 100m.

It was because he was not used to the feeling of mana spreading wildly. I realized that I still lack the mana management ability to handle 7-star magic without difficulty.

The monster fantasy wave was also carried out. In order to prepare for the Elyos, he used minimal magic and defeated the fantasy monsters with hand-to-hand combat as much as possible. Dodging, blocking, and counterattacking.

In the meantime, when the last monster illusion of a wave attacks.

Hwiwoong!

Kwagak!

A blade of wind flew in and cut the monster fantasy in two. The monster fantasy turned into powder and disappeared.

It was [Wind Sword], a 3-star wind elemental magic. I caught my breath and turned my head in the direction the [Wind Sword] flew.

Tristan Humphrey, a vain blond aristocrat, was glaring at me.

“Do you have something to say?”

Did he come to pick up a fight again?

Tristan came towards me. The sound of the guy’s jogging footsteps rang through the training ground.

Tristan, who finally arrived in front of me, spoke with a serious face.

“Compete with me, Isaac.”

I wasn’t surprised because I had already noticed it with [Psychological Detection].

I examined Tristan’s body. His neck and hands were visible through his school uniform. The flesh was torn and there were many traces of cuts. It was clear that he had trained so hard that he couldn’t handle it even if he received daily healing.

This is Tristan, who targeted me. I didn’t even know that this guy was probably the one who was most shocked when my identity was revealed. For a while, it seemed very complicated in my head.

Of course, Tristan didn’t feel anything except the emotion he saw in the game. I didn’t have any camaraderie with him, so I wasn’t the one to share my secrets with.

However, I wanted to accept Tristan’s last resolution before vacation.

We left the training ground as if we had promised.

Dark clouds still covered the night sky, pouring down rain. We crossed the campus with elemental shields on each other.

Following Tristan, they arrived at an outdoor training ground.

Above the arena, we stopped.

I watched Tristan’s back silently.

* * *

“How did you feel?”

“what?”

Tristan’s voice reached Isaac through the rain.

“Until now, I have been bumping into you with all my might. And you got along with me in the position of an archmage. How did you feel each time?”

“… What do you want to talk about? What does how I feel have to do with you?”

Tristan distanced himself from Isaac and turned away.

The two stood facing each other.

Tristan’s mouth was sneering.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Woo Woo Woo!!

Tristan raised his mana. A bitter wind whistled around him, and in the blink of an eye his body disappeared.

A dazzling pale green strong wind drove away the rainwater and performed a fierce dance in the air. Tristan’s speed was higher than before, and he was frantically stirring the air to fool Isaac’s eyes.

Tristan kicked off the stands, kicked off the arena, and gradually accelerated, showing Isaac what he had done with all his might.

Isaac stood still and watched the scene with a carefree face.

Woo Woo Woo!!

Hwaaak!!

Tristan flew behind Isaac at breakneck speed and delivered a powerful kick.

It was a kick accompanied by an explosion of wind magic, but Isaac lightly slipped to the side and avoided the attack.

“Are there eyes on the back of your head?!”

Tristan panicked, but accelerated without disturbing the wind power.

In succession, he poured all kinds of wind magic toward Isaac.

Isaac easily avoided the sharp attacks of [Wind Sword], [Gale Tusk], and Tristan’s physical attacks.

The extensive [gust] lifted up a wall of ice [Ice Wall] to block it.

“You’ve gotten stronger.”

Isaac’s indifferent evaluation provoked Tristan’s wrath.

“I don’t want to hear from you!!”

Tristan gnawed his teeth and charged Isaac. The wind mana was gathered and united in his right hand, and he was about to swing his fist.

At that moment, Isaac reached out in the direction Tristan was digging into. The idea was to show the overwhelming gap to help Tristan clear his mind.

Isaac condensed ice magic in front of him while holding his middle finger on his thumb. What was built one after another was a magic circle of [Ice Explosion], a 5-star ice elemental magic.

Reaction speed, magic calculation speed, mana management ability. All unbelievable. Tristan admired for a moment. However, he didn’t stop and swung his fist at Isaac.

At the same time, Isaac snapped his fingers.

Kwaaa!!!

Cold blasts and fierce ice hit Tristan. The high-density wind magic he had accumulated collapsed in an instant.

It was a [Freezing Explosion] that was moderately powerful, but Tristan’s body was helplessly swept away by the explosion and was pinned to the wall beyond the arena.

An ice block was formed along the direction Isaac struck. He immediately released the block of ice, and the light blue powder that rose was washed away by the rain.

under the bleachers. Tristan was slumped against the wall.

A chill penetrated Tristan’s body and covered him to the very bones. His body trembled from the intense cold.

“yet… !”

Drenched in the pouring rain, Tristan tried to stand up on the rippling floor.

However, it was difficult to overcome the limitations of his body and stand up immediately, much less he had to use his remaining energy just to hold on to the fainting-like consciousness.

Poorly focused vision. When I looked up, I saw Isaac on top of the arena. He is the original king of ice standing tall and lofty.

There was an unbelievable gap between the two. Like the high and low of the sky and the earth.

Tristan’s power was trampled too easily and mercilessly.

“I won, Tristan.”

Isaac’s bold declaration was something I had never heard before.

It was as if he was begging me to give up.

Isn’t this composition the same as the previous Dalian?

At that time, I could proudly declare that I would surpass Isaac in no time.

But not now. In front of this far-high gap, I could never utter the same declaration as in the previous Dalian.

The veins in Tristan’s eyes were young. He glared at Isaac, ignoring the terrible pain.

As if Isaac was done with it, he turned his back and left the arena.

Tristan watched Isaac’s back as he walked away. Rainwater ran down her hair and down her cheeks. I gritted my teeth, but no useless miracles happened.

However, I felt that my head was gradually taking a direction.

Before long, a faint smile crept across Tristan’s lips. I pondered what this smile meant… It was nothing but petty self-help.

It was okay, even if you laughed at yourself for being ridiculous. Didn’t I already have a goal that didn’t fit my topic and became a dirty look?

So, for now, laugh at the foolish self who set the goal of Wonwang as much as he wants.

you just have to stand up

It was enough to stand up.

“under!”

Tristan let out a confident laugh on purpose.

Isaac stopped and looked at Tristan. Tristan struggled to get up, propped up against the wall, with a blood clot in his neck.

Tristan’s face, frozen and torn by the [Ice Explosion], was full of his usual conceited smile. He was giggling like a third-rate villain.

“The rare great wizard, the king of ice, the ice emperor… ! What’s the deal with that?”

Tristan is determined.

I’m going to win a real victory over that unlucky bastard.

His goal was to risk his life to challenge Isaac and win.

“Isaac!!”

Tristan choked with resentment, but took a moment to clear his voice.

“I will become a great wizard someday and challenge you again! So remember… !”

It was firmly committed and declared.

“I will surpass you.”

I will become a great wizard that surpasses even the archmage.

It was the first and last declaration towards Isaac, not Isaac, who had grown rapidly from the weakest.

Isaac glared at Tristan with cold red eyes.

“… work hard.”

Isaac calmly left the place.

    I think Tristian can do better if he is trained by those Rock Golems.

  2. I like the fact that Isaac acknowledges Tristan and encourages him to grow by being his rival. Isaac realizes that some people need that type of motivation to grow and does not discourage Tristan by saying it’s impossible to beat him. Tristan seems to be growing much better than Ian…

    1. Dragolord says:

      Tristan definitely is growing nicely. Ian seems weaker than his game counterpart. Even in terms of mentality I’m not sure if Ian is upto his game self (as we’ve heard from Isaac). I hope Ian at least is able to safely clear the trial for ultimate light elemental weapon since the trials require amazing mental strength. And God please just let him develop more stun resistance!

  3. Manchester Black says:

    An author who finally differentiates between being arrogant and being petty.

  4. Saibot says:

    Wonder if there’s a legendary weapon for wind, Tristan getting a hold of that would be pretty cool

    1. Dragolord says:

      Not everyone can get ultimate weapons cuz the trials are too much for them. But someone like Tristan’s mentality he’ll definitely be able to pass the trial & get the weapon.
      And you know what, he’ll probably be asked to win a fight against Isaac in his full power (Hunter mode) or something that requires Tristan to not fall into despair & do something about his situation to maintain his determination as well as get the ultimate wind weapon.
      Isaac did the same thing twice.. though the rock trial was kinda weird in the sense that Isaac had no idea how to clear it until Dorothy came to help. Tristan whose whole focus is on surpassing Isaac & even his insecurities are related to that goal, I don’t think he’ll have any other goal that beating Isaac during the trial if it ever happens. Also, Tristan doesn’t seem to have any such friends or love interests like Isaac does… So that fact makes it even more certain that he’ll have a trial related to Isaac.

  5. KaiTriesMTL says:

    “I was transported into another world but my rival is an ARCHMAGE?!!”

  6. Caïssa says:

    Tristan the king 👑 my boi had he’s own story, need his own series lol

  7. Abs says:

    “His will surpassing that of Isaac” lol I see what you don’t read the same novels or that you simply didn’t understand anything
    Otherwise Tristan is a secondary character with a good development that changes from the vain nobles who have nothing in the brain, I like the fact that he is changed after seeing the hard work and the growth Isaac, I also think that he appears just enough in his best moment for him to be appreciated, if he appears more it would be too much

    1. Dragolord says:

      I get your point. Tristan will be boring if he has his own story where his only goal is surpassing Isaac. But if he also finds a new goal & reason other than that, then it’ll be a good story I think. Tristan is already a great guy so seeing him as MC of his own story will be nice.

  8. Tristan and boring and pathetic tedious

  9. Kehsih says:

    I afraid one of you guys are gonna transmigrate as Tristan like 🙂

  10. Russell Huang says:

    This is a positive spin on arrogance and think many of us love it. Tristan truly deserves his side story.

  11. Arcus 101 Arcus 101 says:

    I’m rooting for you Tristan!

  12. Doublesubwalfas says:

    Tristan could very well be someone deserving of a main character just his will to surpass Isaac is enough for him to become one and he would surely reach it until the end.

  13. Jordinian says:

    Honestly yeah, such a surprisingly new take on the arrogant noble kid. His very existence proves that arrogance is not inherently a BAD trait however weird that sounds. Really wish that other authors don’t jut make every noble have one braincell, but I guess a throwaway character is easier to make then a personality :/

  14. BH says:

    I… honestly really REALLY like Tristan as a character. I find him to be honestly quite refreshing.
