My intestines became cold and stiff.
The people I came with also looked at me and asked if I was crazy.
It was natural.
‘The Duchess is as skilled as a puppet.’
Lv. 7 had a completely different status from the grade below it.
They were the true superpowers of this world.
‘The trick won’t work at all. ‘You have to kneel purely with your magic skills.’
A truly crazy challenge that goes beyond recklessness.
“under.”
The Duchess burst out laughing.
The reaction was so absurd that I didn’t know how to be angry.
Linden and Hans urgently stopped me.
“Ugh! Senior classmate, are you crazy? Don’t you know the identity of that duchess? A crazy, cruel witch… Breathe! Oh, no, I made a mistake, Duchess! “You are truly beautiful!”
“Uh-huh! Linden, do you still not believe in Confucius Ban? Are you just saying that? “If you duel this time, you’re going to bet on the Witch of Cruelty?!”
Everyone else also tried to dissuade me, saying it would never happen.
The unexpected person was Joanna.
I was just watching closely from behind and then came forward like this.
“Mother, fix it. There is no need to worry about such pathetic trash talk. Banregi, you should immediately kneel down to your mother and apologize for your rudeness.”
I looked slightly surprised.
‘Even though it may sound like nonsense, you’re doing it for me. ‘What’s going on, that cancerous lady Joanna?’
I decided to be a little more ‘greedy’ after this.
“Last time I saw, Lady Joanna’s skills were also poor. I was so curious as to what kind of teachings he had been giving so far. “If you lose to me, admit your own shortcomings and withdraw from Lady Joanna’s education.”
Pop.
I heard something in the Duchess break,
“Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
Wow!!
A momentum that was incomparable to before came rushing out.
All the windows, decorations, and sculptures in the room were swept away and broken.
“good. I will accept the bet. Instead, there are conditions. Rather than unilaterally blocking your magic, we will exchange magic with each other at the same time. “That would be fair.”
A story about having a real magic duel.
The Duchess, no, the Witch of Cruelty, twisted her lips eerily.
“We decided not to hold each other responsible for what happened during the bet. Even if one person becomes an asshole.”
It was a declaration that he would definitely make me into an asshole.
‘It’s not just a threat.’
With his evil personality, his power, and his status, he was a great man who could easily have done something like that.
Nevertheless,
“Okay. “I will accept it.”
“Half Confucius!”
“Professor Ban!! No!!”
Everyone shook their heads in shock, but I didn’t back down.
‘are you okay. you can do it.’
Aren’t you scared?
Of course I was scared.
However, I wasn’t doing this because I was crazy.
There was a reason.
“I will tell you the magic I will use. It is a 5-star Icesicle. “I will take one of your arms with my ice scythe.”
As expected, she is a witch of cruelty.
Because my Aspect was insufficient, I was not generous enough to use magic of a low Aspect.
‘If I don’t use more than 5 stars, I’m afraid I might die.’
However, this was not something to be taken lightly.
The 5-star magic performed by the witch of cruelty will be completely different from the 5-star magic performed by the sloppy professors during the previous training.
“I will fight back with the same ice-type magic. “These are 1st rank Ice Needles.”
Needles of ice.
When learning ice magic, it is one of the first basics to learn.
“Ha, are you kidding? With just that kind of magic… .”
“Do you think it’s enough?”
“… what?”
“Didn’t you tell me? I will teach you what truly great magic is. “You will feel the difference today.”
The Witch of Cruelty made an absurd face.
“My thoughts changed. “I’ll take your tongue, not your arm.”
Grrr.
Cold air formed in the air, and an ice scythe appeared.
-Kikikikikick.
The ice scythe let out a creepy laugh.
From the 5th level onwards, spells contain the magic path that one has realized.
However, the level of magic contained in the spell is so high that it even contains individual emotions.
It was murderous intent.
“Damn you, you crazy professor!! Run away!”
“I will stop it.”
Unable to bear it any longer, Catherine and Rivelle tried to block my path.
They weren’t the only ones.
Chaang!
“… I will not tolerate this Gordon any longer. “Stop.”
“is it so! Class senior! “Quickly kneel down and pray, I did something wrong!”
“Witch of Cruelty, let Hans pray on your behalf! Fix it!”
Sir Gordon, who had received orders from Sister Mariam, as well as Lyndon and Hans, tried to protect me.
‘… Linden and Hans are surprising.’
But, I quietly shook my head.
“Okay. “Everyone, please step aside.”
“It’s okay?!”
“Believe in this anti-ekklesia.”
“!!”
Everyone stopped in shock, and I stepped forward, clad in the might of the Black Flame Dragon.
“I am the winner of this duel.”
Sarah.
Ice needles appeared in the air.
It’s a little big, but at least it’s about the thickness of an awl.
It did not contain the energy of my secret weapon, the Spirit Sword or the Heartstone of the Ice Sea.
It was truly pure 1-star magic.
Even the comparison was embarrassing compared to the ice scythe that was emitting terrible killing power, so the Witch of Cruelty laughed as if it was wise man time.
From Noble mtl dot com
“I don’t know what I’m doing with you bastard. “If you kneel down and bark like a dog right now, I will especially let you go.”
“Are you anxious?”
“… what?”
“If I had eyes, I should be anxious. Can you recognize the technique I performed?”
“!!”
Only then did the Witch of Cruelty feel something strange.
“… “What is that technique?”
“What can you say? This is a technique that will be featured in textbooks in the future. “I guess an explanation could be added that he brought the witch of cruelty to her knees next to him.”
“this guy!”
The ice scythe flew in.
As if to say he was going to cut off my tongue, directly towards my mouth.
-Kikikikikikikiki!!
A horrifying sense of murder entered my mind.
A primal fear surged through me, but I gritted my teeth.
Magic Gunner Battle.
The name was given because exchanging magic like this is similar to a pistol duel.
It was a duel where no tricks could intervene, and it was a pure competition of the magician’s skills.
‘I can win. No, I will definitely win.’
A thought that other people would not be able to understand.
It was true.
This message appeared in my eyes.
＜Winning rate when battling a witch of cruelty and a magic gunner＞
– 100%
What an absolute win rate.
That was the reason why I came out so confidently.
‘I am no longer the person I used to be.’
Suffering from mana insensitivity was the same.
Instead, a new weapon was created.
It’s so lethal that it can be a single blow to a witch of cruelty.
Faaah!
Ice Needle’s magic fluctuated.
It is too difficult and solid to be considered simply a 1-star spell.
It is to contain one energy.
-Unleash the chaotic energy latent in your body!
-Chaos is on the order!
Only then did the witch of cruelty realize the true nature of my magic, and her eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.
“Uh, how? “Chaos is an energy that no one can handle?!”
“I am an exception.”
Yes.
It was an energy that no one could control, even the Demon King could curse and seal, but I did it.
“This is an opportunity that will not come easily, so look carefully. This is the magic of me, the Van Ecclesia.”
Ice needles rushed into the ice scythe.
It was just a small, shabby awl, but the results were incredible.
-Quaaah!!!
Damn it!
A terrible noise sounded, as if a knife was tearing flesh, and the magic spirit contained in the spell screamed in pain.
The witch of cruelty hastily converted the spell with a pale complexion.
Converting the magic formula of a spell that has already been revealed is something that only a magician of the highest level can do.
but. It didn’t mean anything.
Paang!
As if a bullet had been fired, the needle of ice pierced the heart of the scythe, and it shattered and disappeared.
“Gagging!!!”
As the spell was destroyed and the mana flowed back, the Witch of Cruelty vomited blood.
Appears to have suffered serious internal injuries.
It was my complete victory.
“this… This can’t be… Cough!!”
“mother!”
As if she couldn’t admit it, the Witch of Cruelty tried to reach out to me, but she vomited blood again.
Joanna urgently helped her up.
“No, let go.”
“but… “Blood!”
“I don’t need it, so let it go!”
Joanna looked hurt.
“S-sorry.”
The appearance of frowning.
I sighed softly.
“I am the winner of this duel. “The Duchess is a person of honor, so I believe she will comply with all the conditions agreed upon.”
The Witch of Cruelty gritted her teeth.
Actually, I didn’t think he would comply.
Still, he won’t be able to do something as blatant as he does now.
Even just a little bit of restraint on his magical actions towards Catherine was enough to achieve his goal.
‘Joanna… It’s a pity, but he will never let go of his hand. Because it is the most necessary ‘tool’ for her goal. I can’t intervene in this.’
I remembered Joanna’s ‘character scenario’ and quietly shook my head.
Even though Joanna was the daughter of an invincible cancer patient, I felt sorry for her when I thought about the frustration and hardships she would experience in the future.
“this… this… .”
But, it was that moment.
Something happened that no one expected.
“What is going on?”
“!!”
It was a low, soft voice.
However, fear came over me as if thunder had struck my heart.
It was a terrible feeling of intimidation that was incomparable to anything I had ever encountered.
Even though no magic was used, no one in the hall even thought to lift a finger.
It felt like a giant was pressing down on me.
“It’s been a while, Ban Confucius.”
I slowly turned my gaze and saw a neat-looking middle-aged man wearing a business suit standing there.
At first glance, he looks like an aristocrat in a social club.
However, there was a madness in his eyes that could not be hidden.
A madness that seems to devour everything in the world.
I slowly bowed my head and expressed my respect.
“Meet the head of the Klein duchy.”
Lv. At the end of 8, a great wizard who has reached the level of a seeker looking at the sky.
King of wizards on earth.
It was Duke Alfonso, the head of a famous magic family.
* * *
‘Why is Duke Alfonso here? Wasn’t it always on Sky Island?’
I swallowed my saliva.
It was a crisis.
‘She’s not a villain like the Witch of Cruelty, but she’s unpredictable.’
He’s rationally crazy.
That was Duke Alfonso.
Although he knows and adheres to the lines of society, when he feels like it, he does borderline crazy things within those lines.
What was even more problematic was that the crazy behavior was completely unpredictable.
“Nice to meet you. “It’s been over ten years since I last saw you, and you’ve grown so well.”
“… thank you.”
“I’m not just saying this. Huam, your father, I envy that friend. “Every time we met, you told me your laments, and it was all a joke.”
Duke Alfonso glanced at his two daughters, Joanna and Catherine, and said indifferently:
“Even if there were 100 worthless children like that, they wouldn’t be worth as much as you.”
