The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 40. Is that wrong?

-Faang!

But my body is too tired to avoid the connection.

Struck by her lightning bolt, Beans hesitated in her seat and started to feel a buzz coming from her skin as she stepped backwards.

‘The veil is severely damaged.’

The strength of the light that flows through the engraving on the bracelet indicates the durability of the veil.

On the other hand, the opponent still hasn’t allowed a single attack.

“Hey… ….”

The moment when victory was completely broken.

Even so, the boy who hit him was looking at him with a puzzled face for some reason.

“Will you surrender at this point?”

“…Surrender?”

“Oh, um. Looking tired……. It would be pointless to do anything more than that.”

A word without any malice.

I could tell that just from his careful attitude toward himself.

In the first place, in the present composition, no one will be able to secure their victory.

“Bug talk!!!”

Even so, Beans didn’t give up and snapped his fingers.

The moment when the surrounding mana resonated wildly in response to that will.

But the only thing radical is action, and Beans hasn’t lost his temper yet.

‘Think, think! How did that guy block all of my attacks…!’

Use anger as a means to regain your composure.

That was the teaching she emphasized every time my father taught her.

‘Gas, heat, current… …. The attack that applied all of them is being blocked. Then, does that power block all external shocks?’

No, not all of them are blocked.

When magic collides with the body, hair flutters.

When the light bursts, I feel dazzled and my breathing is fine. Even if it didn’t lead to a blow, the degree of trembling on the skin would be felt.

So at least the phenomenon of my magic being applied to that boy is not ‘0’.

In the first place, if you block everything that can be called energy, the heat in the body will have to be completely lost, so for now, a phenomenon called ‘collision’ is occurring.

‘Are you subconsciously filtering out what to block and what not to do immediately after a collision?’

Then why does magic interfere with that grotesque defense technique?

In order to analyze it, Beans recalled in his head the commonalities of the magic he had used so far one by one.

Dissipate the ‘nurtured’ flame through the lowered ignition point.

Blocks the ‘amplified’ current using frictional heat and static electricity as a medium.

Even if gas or liquid was ‘frozen’ and thrown.

Even the atmospheric pressure created by ‘pushing’ the fluid disappeared in an instant the moment it touched the boy’s body…….

‘Yes, the magic is to convert Yu to Euro after all.’

In other words, converting from A to B back to A, or inducing a phenomenon that looks like that.

Void literally.

If that deduction is true, then the person in front of me would be an existence that could ‘in theory defeat even an archmage with bare hands’.

Only for wizards.

‘Then, which technology has not undergone such transformation?’

– Blame it!

Soon, the power of the feet shattered the floor of the gymnasium, and the stone fragments rose upward and began to be ejected forward.

And what the boy did when he faced the stone fragment at that moment…….

“Wow!?”

Bending one’s body on the spot and escaping from the path of the stone.

The boy who had laughed at all the attacks so far with his body was dodging his own attack for the first time.

“Why, did you avoid it?”

“Why are you avoiding… …. Yes, stones hurt when hit.”

“You can take all magic with your bare body, but you are saying that you only avoided stones because you were afraid?”

“…… Uh?”

Dale Enverton puts a blank expression on his words.

It was as if he had no awareness of what he had done.

And that reaction soon came as a victory for Beans.

“Yes, the skill you showed me doesn’t negate everything.”

No, should I say constitution rather than technique?

Whatever it is, it is certain that his remarks have turned his guesses into reality.

The only thing that boy can nullify is magic or things that have undergone ‘conversion’ using mana itself.

In other words, if you deal with the already existing object itself, you will be helpless.

“… It’s just fine. Telekinesis is my specialty.”

The telekinetic power that just floats and throws things.

That simple skill, ironically, was the skill that the family to which Beans belonged most emphasized polishing.

Psychokinesis is the foundation of all magic, and at the same time, it is the fastest skill that mana users can use.

In other words, the Jugret family, who have lived their entire lives for war, are ‘specialists with telekinetic power’.

“Let’s avoid all of these once.”

With that certainty, stones controlled by telekinesis began to circle around her.

Increases the centripetal force of the stone by spinning the mana held in her as the starting point.

When the centrifugal force resulting from it reaches its maximum value, the throwing speed far exceeds the speed of a stone thrown by hand.

“Ahhh!? This is dangerous…”

Dale hurriedly kicks off the spot to avoid the stones and runs away.

Compared to what I’ve been able to do with my body so far, it’s an unsightly escape.

However, to the discoloration of that run, a stone collided with Dale’s thigh, who thought he had barely crossed the bounds.

“Aww!”

Dale collapses on the bed with a sharp pain in his thigh.

The body rolls across the floor of the arena and is covered with dust, but Beans doesn’t sympathize with that figure.

“You’re in serious trouble. You wouldn’t feel the pain because the curtain was wrapped around you. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to suffer from stone slings that aren’t even proper magic?”

“…A tent?”

And after hearing that, she remembered what Dale had forgotten.

From noble mtl dot com

The fact that at this moment, those who participated in the duel had the minimum amount of defense to protect their bodies.

However, Dale’s bracelet has no light at all.

‘Didn’t it work?’

It was too late to notice because I was distracted by the quick talk at the beginning.

He knew that his nullification ability was applied not only to his opponent’s magic, but also to the magic tools he used.

“Hey, sir!! This bracelet…….”

“Huh? What about the bracelet?”

Gail, the referee, is questioning Dale’s cry.

He was responding with sincerity that he didn’t know why Dale was calling him.

“Don’t worry. Even if a stone thrown by telekinesis gets hit, the energy doesn’t run out right away. In the first place, if the energy in the bracelet drops to a dangerous level, you will hear a sound, so you can fight right now.”

“Oh, no, that… ….”

“Or are you going to surrender now?”

Dale was about to say something at Gail’s question, but his mouth fell shut.

Surrender……. Declaring it means losing this fight soon.

Of course, you can reveal your abilities and ask for clarification on this part.

But.

‘Dale, it’s probably best not to say it yourself until you’ve found out about your abilities.’

‘Why?’

‘In a society that revolves around magic, the power that hinders magic will attract attention in many ways.’

Yes, because there was such a request.

So, until someone noticed, Dale was determined not to speak directly about his abilities.

‘…… But I hate surrender.’

Dale bites his lip to endure the pain and stands up.

As if waiting for him to correct his posture, Beans just stood there with stones floating around him.

“Did you not like surrendering to the subject that urged you to surrender?”

Is it because he seized the victory?

Beans, with a deep smile on his face, stared at Dale and quietly pointed his finger at him.

Be prepared to unleash an attack at any moment.

“Unlikeable outrage!!”

The stones that responded to his will started flying towards Dale again.

I ran around the field avoiding that attack as much as possible, but about two out of ten hit Dale’s body and accumulated damage.

And of course, magic is something that requires concentration.

On the contrary, for Dale, who needs a lot of concentration due to his constitution, it was not easy to concentrate while enduring attacks directed at him.

“Why is that? Were you not looking down at me just a moment ago!?”

On the other hand, Beans had room to spare.

Telekinesis is simply a ‘handy technique’ to float something controlled by will.

Beans has honed his telekinetic powers to the point of linking them to throws that maximize the power of such simple techniques.

“Yes, that ugly, pitiful scumbag you are now must have been your true self.”

But even so, I couldn’t understand this situation.

What the hell, this situation.

Where is the fierce battle you expected?

“Do you know why I didn’t use my special ability, telekinesis, in the first place?”

To the subject who showed himself overwhelming despair, he ran away so trivially that he was afraid to overcome it.

Did that boy really have all he had with a good brain and nullification powers?

“It’s because a skilled person can easily deal with this level of skill. It’s because I didn’t think that you, who achieved the top rank, could not handle this level of skill!!”

After overcoming despair, what came to me was disappointment that did not even evoke joy.

Because I felt a sense of self-torture as if I was making fun of the weak.

“Yes, you have been belittling me from the start. They only believed in that ability and looked down on it, so they probably didn’t prepare anything and, of course, didn’t think of ways to compensate for their weaknesses.”

What about first place in writing, and what about ignoring magic?

Eventually important.

If you don’t use it properly in a bloody battle that doesn’t cover all means and methods, all that effort and talent will be in vain.

“From the beginning to the end, there is no complacency. How the hell do you see the world!? That’s why I entered this academy just because I wanted to make friends. Seeing life so easily, it must be obvious that you accepted my duel with a really light heart, right?”

A one-sided throw.

Soon, the boy who was being chased as if he was running away between the rain-like stone fragments, gritting his teeth, drew strength into his hands.

At some point, the hand that picked up the fallen stone.

With the maximum power you can put into it.

– Huung!

The thrown stone passed by Beans as if it were passing by.

It’s not even magic, it’s an outburst.

However, a tingling sensation came over the place where it went too far.

As if the bracelet didn’t work.

No, the feature is still working. The thrown stone only tore the curtain for a moment.

‘No way…..’

It was only at that time that I realized.

That boy’s power can dwell in things like mana.

A stone thrown by that power will also neutralize magic, and furthermore, it will directly damage the inside by opening a gap in the veil that protects my body.

“…… Insignificant, no reason.”

And after noticing that, the boy’s face came into Beans’ eyes.

The bruises on the skin of the body that could not even deploy the protection by mana and withstood the stone.

It must have been too late to notice because the audience was far away, but everything was clearly visible to Beans.

“I, seriously.”

But the boy doesn’t complain of pain.

The wound from being hit by a stone is something I experienced many times in my hometown.

Because he lived in such a place, the boy felt that the words of the girl in front of him were very painful.

“I came to this academy seriously because I wanted to make friends.”

Cultivated from deep underground.

Because I’ve taken that longing very seriously.

“…A friend.”

Of course.

The reason is that it looks very insignificant to others.

“I thought about it at the time, but it’s not the same reason. For such trivial reasons…….”

“Is that wrong?”

But the boy was confident.

No, I believed that was right.

“I just want to be friendly with others… …. Is it so wrong that you came to school?”

The face of the boy who speaks his sincerity looks very sad.

Maybe.

Perhaps everything he believed he was right about was denied at this moment.

Such human-like concern was visible on the boy’s face at this moment.

“You are…”

But even such desperation was considered hateful in Beans’ eyes.

She hasn’t even gotten to grips with herself yet.

A writer who won the top spot in the academy ahead of himself.

“You don’t know what it means to be awarded first place at this academy?”

Without even being aware of the responsibilities that follow.

Because that ignorant, ignorant boy who was still chasing simple ideals looked so foolish.
