#48. This is Lee Ji-eun.
This is it!
Because the Sulwhasoo did not use people in this case, no traces were left.
Of course, it was normal for the hunters who were exposed to Ezion particles for a long time not to show any power.
These students were first-year, and the young chicks could not have known this.
I was impatient, I had no choice but to open my mouth even if my identity was exposed.
“Get out of here right now!”
I shouted at all the students who visited the magic control room.
“It’s dangerous here, so get out of here right now!”
But my remarks had the opposite effect.
I wondered if I had misunderstood the main culprit of the strange phenomenon that occurred in this space, the host started to warn me again.
“Who are you! Now that I look at it, I can’t even see the badge and the security card key necklace from the gown!”
“It’s not really like this, it’s because we need to evacuate the students quickly!”
Despite my desperate cry, the host’s attitude was strong.
He called the security guard to try and subdue me.
Even so, I felt that my little magical power was being depleted due to the Ezion particles.
The security guards in black suits followed the instructions of the host and quickly led me out of the magic control room.
“If you stay there, all the kids will die!”
“Where the thief cat is talking!”
Ah… Nothing really happens.
The security guard hit me in the stomach with a club.
“Heuk.”
I allowed the attack, but fortunately, I could feel the magical energy returning little by little after leaving that place.
Ha… I really don’t like to use force on the general public, but I had to.
Concentrating my magic on my elbow, I turned around and hit the security guard’s sword.
With unimaginable speed and power, he was slammed into the wall.
Another security agent, who understood the situation in front of me a beat late, tried to make a radio call, but I couldn’t see it.
I slapped him on the back of the neck with a neat skill, and I dragged the two of them and hid them in a corner of the hallway.
I went back to the entrance of the magic control room and asked to open the door, but the door was still locked.
I heard a thumping sound from the inside, so it didn’t seem to open from the inside either.
I was sure.
This was someone intentionally blocking the entrance from the control room.
Unfortunately, however, I did not know the current location of the control room, nor did I have the authority to enter it.
I thought of talking to the person in charge of the facility here, but it was a no-brainer.
Looking at the tour host’s reaction a while ago, asking me to forcefully enter the control room at this time will only amplify my suspicions.
I was able to shatter a door of this size with perfect magic power, but it was close to impossible for me, who was still injured in the finals.
I picked up the sword to give it a try, and immediately shook my head and put the sword down again.
If you fail to break the door, the mana required for the next battle will be insufficient.
How long does it take for students to completely lose their minds?
It wasn’t as dense as the bullet I was hit with, it was definitely not instantaneous.
It was difficult to determine, but I thought it was 30 minutes.
Within 30 minutes, they would fall, and the Sulwhasoo bastards would collect them as they are.
There were a little over 30 people, so there would have to be at least 10 people to move them quickly.
It didn’t matter if there were 10 or 20 people, unless they were using magic power like the security guards a while ago, but if there were a mix of people who could handle magic, it was a very difficult situation.
First, I started running to see if there was another entrance to the inside of the magic control room.
I had to figure out at least the route for the Sulwhasoo bastards to enter the magic control room.
As I was moving at high speed, I felt someone grab my wrist.
“Hey there!”
The moment when I was in a hurry to get rid of it and go away.
The outfit she was wearing caught her eye.
“…You. You’re the guy who told me to run away, right?”
Wearing Sehwa Hunter Academy’s uniform, she stopped me.
“That’s right. It’s not like you’re doing this right now, so get out of here. And ask the people outside the building for help.”
I would have believed her in the academy uniform much more than I did.
Did you believe what I said and came out of the spot?
I was curious, but there was no time to chat with her in a comfortable way.
“Let’s go! Hurry up!”
She nodded her head at my words and tried to run away from me and her, but she couldn’t go any further.
“Hey. It looks like there are still unharvested nutrients left.”
Where we turned our heads, men in the same fox-shaped mask were blocking us.
…I thought it was too early to meet.
“Stand back.”
I made the female student who was about to go out back behind me, and I calmly analyzed their power.
The man with considerable magical power in the middle of my magic detection ability is the leader.
About 5 other people can use magic power.
Are the rest ordinary people?
I couldn’t help but shed a cold sweat with the composition of the guys stronger than I expected.
Especially the guy in the middle.
This guy looks like he’s at least an A…
I took a deep breath and threw off the robe I was wearing.
“…Come on. You crazy mosquitoes.”
There was no such thing as mercy to show to these guys who suck at other people’s magic.
“…Kill it.”
At the head’s words, Sulwhasoo’s sulwhasoo, including magicians, began to attack me.
It’s annoying when there are a lot of pages, so I quickly organized the general public first.
Even if I lacked magical power, there was no way I could not read the attack trajectories of these guys.
I lightly dodged their attacks and suppressed the common people with only the back of my sword.
Of course they rushed at me with the intent to kill me, but I didn’t want unnecessary killings.
This power was not given to harm people.
If you were to kill with the power you got from magical power, you would become a person no different from them.
Watching my battle from the other side, the boss started applauding me as if mocking me.
“That’s great. That’s amazing. I can only use that mouse’s tail of magic so thrifty and thrifty.”
With. I could feel the heat rising in his head when he was treated like this by a real man.
Even if only the Ezion bullet didn’t hit me…
I bit my lip.
There are a total of 6 opponents in front of me, including the boss.
Even if I could win this battle somehow, if there were fanatics that followed, I was not confident that I would win.
At that time, I was just thinking of calling Sihwa.
It is said that my survival is directly related to the survival of the earth, so I just couldn’t understand why I couldn’t die.
“…I’ll help too.”
The girl, who had not taken any action so far, drew her sword.
“It helps me more to just run away and get out…”
Huh?
That black…?
I knew the sword the girl with silver hair was holding.
A sword that shines in dark red.
Red handle.
That’s right… It was…
The reason this huge incident became more of an issue was because of her presence.
Sehwa Hunter Academy’s best prospect.
Lee Ji-eun.
It was because she disappeared right here.
The sword was her memento that caused the public regret that she would have been a supernova worthy of the position of the strongest hunter if she had been alive.
I couldn’t fathom what she was capable of right now, but she was sure to help me worthy of her fame.
“…Can you?”
But no matter how much she earned the title of genius, she was still an aspiring hunter who had never experienced any real battles.
She had to be mindful of the possibility that she would not be able to show her skills due to tension if she was suddenly put into the field.
“I’ll try.”
I looked straight ahead at her determined answer.
Okay. I thought there was no answer if I was alone, but this is a different story.
It seemed like it would be a lot less effort if I dealt with only two other guys except for the boss.
“…Be careful not to get hurt.”
With those words, I leapt towards the head.
I wanted to see the match quickly, so I raised my magic power and hit him, but still, as expected, he wasn’t sloppy.
“Hmm, I don’t think I’m an academy student.”
After successfully receiving my attack, he looked at me like he was looking at a funny toy.
“Well. The amount of magic power itself is small, but I think it will be a good nutrient.”
If you don’t have magical powers, you can only deal with them with a sense that exceeds them.
I dug into his gaps as anomalously as possible.
It was important to use the minimum amount of horsepower, but to achieve maximum efficiency.
Unfortunately, however, my sword could not continue to leave fatal blows as if it could barely reach him, probably due to the lack of power output.
The final sword strike of conversion only left a shallow sword mark on his mask. He couldn’t even break the mask.
Raising his hand and caressing the mask, he opened his mouth in an interesting tone.
“Heh. If it hadn’t been for the amount of natural magic, I think I would have become a gang of hunters.”
To hear such a thing from someone like you.
I felt my self-esteem go down.
Just get caught again later. You.
He reached out his hand towards me.
I am capable enough to block my attacks, but is it possible to attack from a distance?
I stuck out my tongue at the skill beyond my imagination.
Magic power began to condense in his hands.
Magic power soon began to take shape and then began to take the shape of a white sphere.
…Should be avoided.
If you are hit head-on, your body will never be strong.
When he lifted his finger, a sphere flew towards me at a sharp speed.
Concentrating my magic on my feet, I prepared to dodge in either direction.
But the sphere that was flying straight ahead was split in half in front of me.
Embarrassed by the unexpected development, I was able to completely avoid one of the two separate spheres.
The other one didn’t hit it head-on, but it allowed it to rub against the right arm.
“Cut.”
I lost the sword in my hand due to the tingling pain.
Seeing that there was no strength in the arm, it was obvious that it was broken.
…Is it ruined?
When I saw the fox mask guy approaching me with a smirk, I adjusted my posture again.
If you don’t have teeth, you have to bite with your gums.
I changed my target while holding the sword with my left hand.
Yes. I’d rather give Lee Ji-eun time to clean up and run away…
I tried to understand Lee Ji-eun’s situation with a slightly sideways glance, but for a moment, I felt a sudden cerebral cessation.
Huh?
This was because Lee Ji-eun removed all of the guys who looked like B-class hunters except for her boss from the battlefield.
However, her appearance did not look normal either.
Her uniform, drenched in sweat, was proof that she had struggled.
“…Arm. Is it broken?”
I nodded at her words.
“Let’s go. I’ll deal with you here. You’re going to go out and tell people the situation.”
She was like the main character in a fantasy novel, but I knew she didn’t have that much ability.
There was no opponent she could win without her experience.
The best number I can choose right now is…
“Student. What’s your name?”
She was staring at the fox masked guy with an anxious look, and she had an expression on her face asking why she was asking such a thing in such a situation.
“This is Lee Ji-eun.”
“Then Ji-eun. From now on, listen to me.”
It is a choice that both she and I can survive.
I decided to believe in her potential.
