Episode 39. I might lose if I do this wrong.

-Papa Pang!

Attack doesn’t stop at once.

After that, Beans runs sideways and snaps his fingers again and again.

As the number of physical projectiles fired increased, admiration flowed from the mouths of those who followed Beans’ movements with their eyes.

“What, what is that kid? How fast?”

“It’s just a magic missile. What’s so great about technology that isn’t magic…….”

“No, don’t you think it’s easy to deploy even a magic missile that quickly?”

“Isn’t that just a magic missile?”

The audience’s reaction was generally that ‘the technique is great, but the results are insignificant’.

Magic Missile is a technique that cannot be called magic.

It is easy to shoot by simply combining physical force, but even that, as the distance increases, the power is greatly reduced because the loss of will occurs.

Unlike the method that was converted into fire or electricity through application, it would only be able to inflict damage equivalent to picking up and throwing stones at an opponent at a certain distance.

‘No, he knows how to fight.’

However, those familiar with combat highly valued Beans’ tactics.

A woman in a white coat sitting in the stands, and Gale watching the referee.

Because one of the techniques they used the most on the front lines was the magic missile that Beans was using.

‘In the first place, magic is a skill that requires knowledge and calculation. It will inevitably take time as we have to go through the process of gathering mana and adjusting it.’

As much as that, the fastest ones can use only pure physical power.

Of course, magic missiles are less powerful than martial arts or martial arts that use mana directly on the body, but they can interrupt the enemy’s actions or cut off his concentration through continuous containment.

The main strategy on the front line is to take advantage of the momentary gap created in this way and deliver the final blow.

The fact that you focus on that part teaches you that you are well versed in combat.

‘Is it also the daughter of the Jugret family?’

Then, how would the chief respond to it?

Since it is a surprise attack, there is a high probability of failing to respond.

If you make a mistake, there is a high possibility that you will be swung and allowed all follow-up hits.

“…… Yes?”

But Gale’s eyes widened as soon as he looked away to confirm it.

– Huung, swish.

A hollow noise echoing at the end of the magic missile’s trajectory.

It was a phenomenon in which the air that had been condensed by physical force did not explode, but disappeared as if it evaporated.

‘What is it? Wouldn’t that kind of thing happen if it collided with the curtain?’

If the compressed physical force is released along with the collision, it will usually sound like a blast or explosion.

It wasn’t just the shield created by the bracelet, it was the same even if the shield was deployed by solidifying mana.

Then what is happening right in front of me?

-Pazu!

In the meantime, the sound of electricity bouncing.

It was the sound of Beans, who was shooting magic missiles, finishing preparations for the attack magic he had cast in his other hand.

Thunderbolt.

An attack type beginner magic that has a slow casting time but allows you to hit the enemy the fastest.

-Crackle…….

Even that electric current disappeared like a lie as soon as it touched Dale’s body.

If you developed a defense, there should have been a reaction by collision, but it was really like a lie.

“Wow!?”

Dale realizes the fact belatedly and faces Beans, who has turned square.

The bright smile drawn afterward came from pure admiration.

“Bah, that one from before. Did you do it That, using static electricity as a catalyst… No, did it generate plasma through frictional heat?”

Dale asks a series of questions, throbbing with curiosity.

Yes, as the boy guessed, what Beans did now may seem technical and mysterious, but the principle is clearly understandable to people.

“What the hell… ….”

On the contrary, beans.

I couldn’t understand this phenomenon in which all of my attacks were blocked at this moment.

“What the hell have you done, Dale Enverton!!!”

To block all of his attacks without using any mana.

Isn’t that a shocking thing that in itself violates the laws of physics?

***

“Oops, this is how it ends.”

While the second-in-command’s scream echoed through the gymnasium, I was still watching the scene from afar, bringing something to my mouth to eat.

Is it because he fights rather than watches every time? I felt like I knew for the first time today that the chicken I ate while watching a fight was special.

To the point where you feel very regretful that the contents decrease as you eat.

“Did Seine-sensei know that this would happen?”

On the other hand, in Mr. Lloyd’s case, unlike me, he watched the gymnasium without forgetting to eat.

The characteristic squinting eyes showed that the current situation was so embarrassing.

“Yes, it took about a week, but he taught me by hand.”

And those who fight a little will realize how absurd the sight they are seeing is.

Those who are called geniuses are usually talented and lack experience, but that girl’s sense of battle is more noticeable than her talent.

The fact that he has accumulated numerous ‘practical experiences’ that are often overlooked by those who are called geniuses.

At least in terms of combat, no student in the middle school could beat that girl in this academy.

“In the first place, from the first day of admission, the windows of this school were broken.

But no matter how high their fighting power is, all of that is based on magic.

Whether it’s experience or talent, if magic is what you use in the first place, it’s bound to be useless to that child.

“…… A person with the abnormal ability to block magic?”

“It’s similar.”

Precisely, some kind of energy that binds mana…

For example, removing the human will or the ‘random power X’ derived from the will, or nullifying everything made of mana by disrupting its balance.

Perhaps the reason the divine power is nullified is similar to that.

Divine power is, first of all, energy released based on the will of a person.

“…It’s a total scam, isn’t it?”

“Except for the fact that it is difficult to use magic by itself… In fact, it is no different than boasting absolute defense power as far as magic is concerned.”

I smiled and took a coke to my mouth.

In the meantime, the duel between Dale and Beans is still in full swing.

It was only the first time that Dale was surprised, but as if he realized that the opponent’s attack was not working, he was trying to take action.

“What are you doing!”

But did it feel sluggish and stuffy?

Soon, booing towards Dale began pouring from all over the stands.

“Yes! Just like that could damage the veil! Then what are you going to do if you get the final blow!?”

“If you block the attack, you must counterattack immediately!”

“Use magic! Whatever it is, attack!”

For those who don’t know the ability, it will look like it blocked the attack with some kind of defensive magic.

But whatever it was, there was even a sense of urgency and anticipation in the current shout.

There was nothing I couldn’t understand.

Considering that the place where the cheers resonate is the ‘ordinary seat’ where Mr. Lloyd and I are.

“There must have been a lot of things piled up.”

Yeah, isn’t it the situation that a large number of people came to see the chief after hearing that he was a commoner?

In such a yard, all the attacks made by the second seat are blocked, but if you do not attack, you will feel stuffy.

“Tch, there is nothing classy about it.”

From noble mtl dot com

On the other hand, the nobles would not be very happy with this situation.

I thought it would be different in actual combat, but the structure of the fight is going in a completely different way than I expected.

“Do you write with such excitement that you only block some attacks?”

“You must expect that much. Even if that kid wins here, their situation won’t change.”

“By the way, kid, what the hell are you doing to stop that attack?’

“I don’t know about that, but isn’t this how you lose?”

“No way. If it’s the Jugret family and not another family…….”

“What the hell are you doing?”

A voice that is relatively calm but shows anxiety.

While such a rumble filled the gymnasium, Dale slowly began to gather mana into his hands to prepare for an attack.

“What is the attack magic? Uh, um…….”

“Don’t sell your eyes!!”

Beanz now screams in indignation.

A number of fireballs created from his grip were thrown, but even they disappeared as if evaporating as soon as they touched Dale’s body.

It is only for a moment that you feel the coldness of the waves of light that have come up close.

Dale, who finished his concentration soon, smiled brightly as he created a fireball in his hand as well.

“Joe, good. Take it!”

Dale throws the completed fireball.

However, the attack was easily missed as Beans moved away from his seat.

You can see the casting action, and it’s a crude blow, so it’s only natural.

“Too much! I worked hard on it!”

“Do you think I will face such a visible attack?”

-Pupperpung!

And then a series of magic attacks.

Suddenly, as if he thought he couldn’t help it with speed alone, high-powered magic began pouring down on Dale.

Each one is quite powerful.

It’s not easy for a freshman in the middle school to fire magic like that, but anyone who knows where he comes from will understand.

“Are you also a member of the Jugret?”

Yes, Mr. Lloyd, who is watching with me, must have figured it out.

“Do you know about the Jugret family?”

“…… There will be no one from the Allied Forces who does not hold a grudge against that family.”

“It’s a coincidence, the same goes for the Imperial Army.”

As for non-military people or civilians, the Jugret family was the place where soldiers, regardless of enemy or friend, lived with resentment.

That’s right, they are a family that has historically nurtured the ‘staff’ in charge of the core of the Imperial Army.

What kind of being is a staff member?

Those who work out how to crush the enemy more efficiently, aiming to achieve victory by replacing allies in every operation.

To the extent that they only look at statistics and set up strategies, they give away as many ethics as possible, so it doesn’t matter if they die in that strategy, whether it’s an enemy or an ally.

As much as I’ve fallen for someone from that family, I’m in a state of bad feelings.

But because of that, I was able to foresee one fact.

“I might lose if I do this wrong.”

If we don’t hurry up and end this duel.

The one with a high probability of losing this fight will be Dale.

***

‘It doesn’t work at all.’

At the end of the one-sided bombardment, I felt my breath running out.

Beans used physical force and stretched his numb hand down.

The same no matter how many times you attack.

In addition to rapid fire using pure mana, flames, currents, ice-hardened throws, and high-pressure winds are all lost without a trace the moment they touch the boy’s body.

‘How, on what principle…… !!’

– BAD!!

At that moment, a dagger of ice was fired at him.

Ice Arrow, a low-level ice barrier magic, landed right at my feet.

It was not shot in a straight line, so it was easy to dodge, but it was shot in a curve like shooting an arrow, making it difficult to predict the trajectory.

After that, what was created in the boy’s hand was a small fireball.

“So, like this… ….”

“Profit!!”

To stop it, Beans snaps his fingers and shoots sparks.

However, even that evaporated as soon as it touched the boy’s body.

-Pazu!

Sparks frighteningly start to fly from the hand as the fireballs that followed passed by.

The connection speed was incomparably faster than it was at the beginning.

‘Chain casting…!’

Linked chanting.

It is a technique to recover the heat or physical energy released when casting magic and use it as a catalyst to prepare another magic.

If successful, the connection speed can be increased, but if it is even slightly delayed, the energy is scattered, so it is a skill that requires difficulty and quickness.

Unless you receive the same professional training as yourself, it is not something that middle school students can imitate.

‘But, you mean you learned it by copying me?’

Yes, even at the moment of battle, that boy was learning as he watched himself fight.

Before this duel was written about, the subject had not shown even a hint of knowledge about combat.
