chapter 30
30 – Proper Station Sightseeing
The engineering department exam hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of falling dust. Everyone was watching the test with serious faces. It was only natural that it was expected that Seria de Xavier, who had been persistently challenging Octavia, the pride of the 5th year Faculty of Engineering, would finally explode in front of everyone.
“Would you win?”
“Of course I win. Are Rigel and Octavia-sama normal?”
“Octavia-sama alone would be impossible, but even Rigel? You crossed the line hard.”
Most of the whispers were predicting a landslide victory for Rigel and Octavia. Either that or not. Seria was standing in the middle of the arena where the test would take place, carefully practicing Dayman’s teachings. In her left hand was her staff, her staff. And she holds a wand in her right hand.
‘I’m not afraid.’
My heart is pounding. She forcefully straightened her body, instinctively trying to cower at the figure of Octavia, who was bursting with life in her anger.
‘I can win.’
She strained her hands that held her staff and wand. Shaking off her tension with her light deep breathing, she looks at the professors in the judges’ seat.
“I am ready.”
“I am ready too.”
“Me too.”
The voices of Rigel and Octavia swiftly shouted agreement as if to quickly start at Seria’s words. The professors looked down at the test room with an expression of uneasiness and discomfort, but what can I do?
This is the yard where the pledge was also received.
There was no more excuse to stop.
“When the bell rings, the test will begin.”
At Professor Arkhamfeld’s words, the staff member who was holding the string of the bell looked at Professor Arkhamfeld, asking if this was really true, but what to do. She could only nod her head.
“Get ready!!!”
At the words of the staff, Rigel and Octavia’s bodies swell wildly. The momentum was unusual, as if she was about to rush in and grab Seria and tear it apart.
“Start!!”
Ding! The bell rings with a sound. And as soon as it rings, Octavia is shot like a bullet.
“Rigel! As always!!”
“Yes! Miss!!”
As Rigel stepped in front of her and quickly pressed Seria, Octavia began attacking Seria’s flank using her own speed, which was much faster than Rigel’s.
If you pay attention to the side, you will be attacked by Rigel approaching from the front.
Because they’ve already trained several times, their limbs fit perfectly.
“How is it? Who to focus on!……..”
The moment Octavia said that while bursting into a mocking laugh.
Hook! With a sound, Seria’s body disappeared from her sight.
As if her ghost, her appearance had been erased, and she appeared behind Rigel, who was aggressively closing her distance.
“What?…….”
Rigel hurriedly turned his gaze away and tried to defend himself with his shield, but something flew at him faster than that.
Boom!! Hearing an unusual roar, Rigel stumbled and fell to one knee.
“Keuugh!!!”
Behind the knee joint.
Since it was a joint part, it was not covered by armor. Something incredibly fast flew in there and hit it. I tried to stand up in a hurry, but I couldn’t get enough strength in one leg because I was precisely targeted.
“Rigel! Get out of the way!!”
“Yes! Miss!”
Riegel limped away. Taking advantage of that gap, Octavia starts approaching Seria at breakneck speed.
“I don’t know what kind of modification he wrote, but it won’t work for me!!………”
“Octavia. You really can see everything.”
Ping!! With a loud bang sound, something small flew in with enormous power condensed. Thanks to her genius and the reflexes of her monstrous body, Octavia, unlike Rigel, was able to recognize the identity of the flying thing.
A tightly packed mass of mana.
It was flying through the air at a bloody speed.
Seeing that, Octavia could feel her goosebumps rising.
Because of the speed and power of that flying mass of mana?
No.
Among the martial arts, there was definitely a method of combining strong energy such as tanjigong and launching it. It was not impossible to respond.
The reason she got goosebumps was that her flying mass of mana was precisely targeting the loophole in her herbivore she was spreading.
“What?!”
She hurriedly turns on her herbivore and bounces off a chunk of mana. It bounced off, but the reaction of the hastily stunned her snared her legs and forced her to back after an awkward tumble.
Her eyes widened.
“What? What did you do?”
Seria grinned, widening her distance with her ghostly steps.
“It’s magic called Magic Bullet. How is it? Isn’t it fun?”
“Matan?”
A magic you’ve never heard of. But she had no time to ask questions. It was because the magic bullet was fired again as if she had waited.
“Big!!!”
Octavia hurriedly stood up and brandished her sword to defend her magic bullets. Her moniker of a monster was not a lie. She skillfully began to deflect the magic bullets. Not a single shot hit her body.
But that was it.
‘What, what kind of magic is this!!!!’
Octavia had to focus all her energy on defending against magic bullets. The moment she lost her concentration even a little bit, it was almost certain that magic bullets would enter her body. It was that fast.
‘Is there no casting delay at all?’
The speed of the magic bullet was also fast, but beyond that, the casting speed was abnormal. Even the one-circle magic missile, which is said to be the simplest and fastest killing magic, had a minimum delay. But Mattan had none of that.
There was no chant, no concentration. If you just swing your wand, something will come flying in and get stuck. Octavia’s relaxed expression breaks and cold sweat slowly begins to flow.
“Lady!!!!”
Fortunately, the deadlock could be resolved with a new variable. It was because, seeing Octavia, who was only busy defending Matan, Rigel gave her a shout and dug into Seria’s side. Rigel, who limped forward while holding a hammer with his entire body covered by a shield, had the momentum of a runaway locomotive, even if it creaked.
“How dare you treat Octavia!!…….”
But to Seria, it was just an obvious trick.
“Rigel. How can you do just what Dayman said?”
Seria smiles leisurely and waves her wand. Sensing something flying in front of him with a peeping sound, Rigel hurriedly raised his shield to defend. Kang! With a metal sound, the place where the shield was hit was distorted.
“Defended!…..”
At that time, he was laughing while confirming what Rigel had blocked. Empty!!! With a groan, his helmet is bent. Rigel gets down on one knee again, causing his nose to bleed.
“Ugh……”
Tinnitus is heard from one side of the eardrum. There was only one thought on his mind right now.
What is it? When? Are you sure you blocked the attack?
“Rigel!! It bends in!!”
Octavia notices her and yells at her. The magic bullet didn’t just fly in a straight line. After throwing a magic bullet that flew in front as bait, and taking a defensive posture, a coiling magic bullet that bent to the side flew away.
The magic bullet hit Rigel’s head, which was hidden behind a shield, and Rigel was currently suffering from tinnitus and seeing multiple objects.
“Ah, lady, I can stop you……”
“What the f*ck!!! Move!!!!”
The staggering Rigel was in a state where no matter who saw it, he couldn’t fight properly. Octavia runs. But even as she ran, she showed no signs of cooling Octavia’s cold sweat.
‘That bending magic bullet. I was aiming for it.’
As if he knew the traditional martial arts of the Fagenhau family very well, he aimed precisely at the gap in his defensive stance and fired the magic bullet.
Seria de Xavier.
Obviously, it was that idiot-like year when he boldly came to the engineering department to apply for sparring, despite being broken every time.
‘How can a b*tch like that!!!!’
The magic bullet is also the magic bullet, so how the hell did he figure out the weakness of Count Fagenhau’s traditional martial arts and four-sword swordsmanship?
How is the replacement wizard?
“Seria!!!!!”
Octavia is shot while exerting her divine law to the extreme. She flies into her weakness as if Matan knew it would happen. But Octavia didn’t defend. She thought it would take a few hits. The moment she tries to bounce or defend, she comes out of a situation where she is just trying to block again.
“Big!!!”
A few shots of magic bullet hit her body. She hurriedly twisted her body to avoid the vital spot, but the area she hit was stinging and sore despite the self-defence.
‘Damn it!!!’
Octavia screamed inwardly. It was the moment when Seria’s magic hit her body for the first time.
It was simple magic.
A magic that simply gathers a mass of mana and blows it away, then gives physical impact.
But she never thought the situation would change this much just because she was wearing one.
“This is the end!! Seria!!”
The new law is being operated in a polar way. While doing it a little too much. There would be no time to unleash that strange mobility device that suddenly disappears. She was the fastest student in the Faculty of Engineering. There was no way Seria, the sorceress, could match the speed she poured her all into.
“Either or eat!!!”
Her blade shows off the fastest thrusting attack among herbivores in the Four Day Sword method. Believe that it cannot be avoided.
The moment when Octavia’s blade is fired, believing that this will suffice for her.
Tung!!
With a clear echo, Octavia’s blade bounced off.
“What?”
Her body loses its position and begins to shake due to a very strong deflection. In an instant, her front opens. Through that gap, Seria nimbly digs into it. With the wand in her right hand, she casts a buckler spell, pushing her blade away and creating a magic sword in her left staff.
With the blazing sword steel.
“Kyaaak!!!!”
A magic sword imbued with sword steel.
The beam saber swings.
Octavia casts Targon with her excellent reflexes and falls behind her, but it is unavoidable that a long knife marks her face.
“My, my face……uh, how……how in the world are you……”
It wasn’t the magician’s reflexes. It was an athletic ability that anyone who hadn’t mastered Qigong would never have developed.
In addition, the process of wielding the sword while defending against the herbivore was something that could not come out without understanding the herbivore of the four-day sword method.
Octavia’s eyes begin to tremble.
“You…What are you? What!!!!”
Wizard too.
Not even a samurai.
Something strangely mixed up.
Nevertheless, Seria was showing off a new combat system that was perfectly combined and completed.
“Octavia. Rigel.”
Seria quietly takes the flag ceremony.
A posture in which a long staff is tilted at a 45 degree angle and attached to the body, and the wand is extended forward. She has a provocative smile on her clean face without a drop of sweat.
“Do you want to continue?”
