41 – Open Practice (3)

Summons of White Wyvern failed.

The previously summoned Hati will disappear.

The version created by Adele has been successfully realized.

Nevertheless, Anastasia did not consider herself at a disadvantage.

The only summons she has are Baek Kyung and Hati.

She has hundreds of other summons, and if she just summoned them, dealing with Adele, who would have lost less than half of her magic power, would be a piece of cake.

It was said that the difference in the remaining number was different.

“I think I know what you are thinking, Anastasia.”

A brief lull.

Adele ran her mouth through her hair, which was caked with sweat from her forehead.

I couldn’t feel her magical energy moving in that action, so Anastasia didn’t do anything in particular.

“You still think you have an advantage, don’t you?”

“…… Pretty good.”

Anastasia made another sound instead of answering.

She said it was rare for her to compliment anyone, but Adele deserved the praise she was dealing with herself.

You defeated Hati and prevented the summoning of Baek Kyung.

She honestly didn’t know that she would use the magic circle she developed to steal her own magic power.

Normally, this is impossible, but it must be that kind of trait of Adele that she doesn’t know about.

“But that’s it.”

I struggled, but that was just the end.

As I said before, if you keep fighting, you will have an advantage if you can afford her magical power.

“Is that so?”

Adele pointed his finger at the sky.

Anastasia did not raise her head, but raised her eyes to look in the direction she was pointing.

A mysterious aurora and snowflakes were still flying from the ceiling of the auditorium.

She asked with her look on her face as she brushed off her snowflakes from her shoulders with her hands.

“You still don’t know?”

She was a little annoyed by his words, as if she was subtly accusing her of being ignorant.

Anastasia’s eyebrows twitched in displeasure.

With or without, Adele didn’t care.

“This snowflake is a snowflake made of magic that you sent into the sky to summon the white whale.”

A magic circle that reacted to Anastasia’s magical power.

A snowflake that contains her magical power.

They mean——

“You still don’t know?”

“… ….”

Anastasia’s anger seemed to explode at those words that she explained twice before ending.

Why do you stop talking in the middle?

If you’re curious, I’ll explain quickly.

Are you intentionally wasting time?

“…… Hour?”

In an instant, Anastasia’s thinking expanded.

Adele’s behavior was deliberately arousing curiosity and wasting time.

And the magical snowflakes and magic circles.

With all of that put together, Anastasia looked down at the bottom of her line.

“Ah.”

“You noticed it faster than I thought.”

Floor.

The floor, curved like a mountain range, was bright with the light emitted by the magic circle.

I couldn’t see it quickly because of the aurora light coming down from above.

“Don’t call me mean. I didn’t speak to you with the intention of having a conversation from the beginning.”

Similar to how Adele activated her magic with the magical power required to summon her white whale, she intended to do something similar this time with snowflakes falling from the sky.

I had a conversation with Anastasia to wait for the snowflakes to fully charge the magic circle on the floor.

In the end, it meant that Anastasia played with Adele’s intentions.

From noble mtl dot com

Not even 5 minutes had passed since I decided not to be vigilant, and I was arrogantly caught off guard again.

“I think I will hate you.”

As soon as Anastasia said that, she immediately attempted to summon her.

Whoopuhwook────

A magic circle that emits light from the floor.

It swirled and sucked in all the air around it.

“────.”

As a result, there was no casting of Anastasia’s chant on the stage that became a vacuum.

Anastasia burst her breath in her lungs at the sudden disappearance of the air, staggering as if she were drunk.

10 Seconds.

Time from when a person is choked to fainting.

In the meantime, if oxygen is not supplied to the brain, Anastasia will be defenseless.

“… ….”

Anastasia did her practice and drew her magic circle on her hand with her bare hand.

If it doesn’t become a chant, she just needs to summon oxygen with magic through the magic circle.

It was like that, but…….

“I didn’t even think of that, but should I say that?”

I couldn’t finish drawing the magic circle and activating the magic within 10 seconds.

Adele ran over and picked her up before Anastasia, who had lost her senses halfway through her magic circle, fell to the floor.

Took.

Then a fist stabbed her in the chest.

She thought that her body had been touched while supporting Anastasia.

“Annoying…… If only the magic circle had been completed, I would have won…….”

In fact, it was a trap dug by Anastasia, who pretended to lose her mind.

Anastasia had no intention of summoning her oxygen from the beginning, she was thinking of fighting in a short period of time.

I don’t know what kind of magic she was trying to perfect, but if she had drawn her magic circle a little faster, her victory or defeat might have changed.

Should I say that she was the head of class A, that she almost allowed the reversal even when she was this thorough?

It was an absurd level of judgment and ability.

“Certainly this was unexpected.”

The fact that Anastasia thought that Adele would come to rescue her as she was about to lose her mind and collapse.

That she tried to counterattack using that.

Everything was beyond Adele’s idea.

“Anyway, rest.”

Whether it was an act of exerting all of her strength to thrust her last punch, or whether her body was originally tired and at its limit, Anastasia closed her eyes while leaning against Adele’s chest.

— ….

The stage where victory or defeat is decided.

Students and professors sitting in the bleachers were silent for a moment as if something had happened that made them doubt their eyes.

And soon.

─The winner is Adele Heights!

The words resound to let you know that all of that is true.

Party, pair, pair…….

A small applause started from Charlotte in the distance.

Clap clap clap clap!

It became an applause that filled the auditorium.

“Adele beat Anastasia?!”

“Wow, Mr. Halfway through, I couldn’t figure out what was what.”

“I have never seen an animal with such large pupils… ….”

Holding their breath while watching the practice, they couldn’t bear to spit it out, and the words they had accumulated inside came pouring out, and the students expressed surprise at the unexpected turn of events.

It was the same for the professor.

“…… Anastasia lost…… ? No way… ….”

Kayen, the professor in charge of Class A.

He collapsed as if leaning against the railing with an expression as if the sky had fallen.

I hoped she would carry on her undefeated streak as she was a commoner but kept her chief.

She thought that she would be satisfied with a different course of action.

The wind was shattered by Adele.

“Still, you’re the best student I’ve ever seen.”

Looking at Cayenne like that, Ella said.

“Did I say Anastasia Aris and Adele Heights? Certainly higher than other students.”

Although I did see a few things that needed to be fixed during practice, as a student as brilliant as I am, he must have noticed his problems.

In addition, one person lost his mind, so even if he wanted to give feedback, he couldn’t.

“It’s fun, it’s fun. Anastasia Aris’ unique magic and Adele Heights’ plan to destroy it.”

Ella clapped her hands and beckoned the secretary standing next to her to come closer.

The secretary rushed over and bowed her head.

“I’m not feeling well today, so I’ll have to see your face later. Anastasia and Adele. Schedule an interview with both of them.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As the secretary stepped away, Ella opened her mouth as she looked at Cayenne, who had lost her halfway.

“Professor Cayenne, why are you making such an impression? Although she lost, Anastasia is definitely an outstanding student. Today, we just lost because we lacked ‘preparation’.”

I could see it in Ella’s eyes.

The magic circles that Adele hid through fairy tales.

I didn’t see it clearly, it just looked like the scenery was twisting like something was out of place, but that was enough to let me know that something was hidden.

Nevertheless, the reason why I didn’t point it out was because of Ella’s education policy that her practice be like real life.

If it was cheating that the professors didn’t notice, it was also a skill, so it was something I could just close my eyes and move on.

“Okay then, keep going.”

In accordance with Ella’s instructions, practice continued.

* * *

Anastasia opened her eyes.

She was lying on the bed, and someone had covered her with a blanket.

She lost her mind after being defeated and was taken to her infirmary.

“…… I lost again.”

After assessing her situation, Anastasia sighed and covered her eyes with her arm.

Once in monster hunting.

Once again in the know-it-all.

And once again in Dalian, where she was confident.

Three total defeats like that.

For Anastasia, who was unaware of her defeat while attending her academy, the recent series of defeats were so bitter and shocking.

In addition, Adele completed the magic circle she herself had not completed and used it in her actual battle, so the shock was multiplied.

“Write.”

Anastasia felt the tip of her nose tingle at her unfamiliar resentment, but her feelings did not end there.

“… ….”

Anastasia put her arms away and looked up at her ceiling.

So, lost in her thoughts, she recalled her defeat, and after defeating herself, she recalled it.

Then her unfamiliar emotions welled up and sank her consciousness to the depths.

“Fun.”

What Anastasia felt from her defeat was her fighting spirit.

It was because the unconnected emotion she had never felt before gave a new impetus to her boring and dull life.

And Anastasia had no doubt that her feelings would enable her to grow more than herself.

Also.

“Adele Heights.”

She was also a little interested in him, who made her know something she didn’t know, that she always took for granted her victory, and that receiving praise from her was her daily life.

“We have to win next time, really ahhh… …. It hurts, it hurts…….”

Anastasia, who was promising her victory, tore off the hair of her nurse who was trying to sterilize her sudden wound on her hand.
