chapter 27
27 – Huh..?
*
‘This is a house or a palace…?’
Since I was born, I have never thought that our house is small.
Of course, Seonah’s house right next door was bigger, but there wasn’t a big difference, and there were times when I thought that all the houses were there.
Obviously, the Yu family doesn’t like extravagance, so even among the top 10 magic families, I know the house is small.
If you live in a house like this, you must be able to pay 10 billion won to buy the only artifact.
‘There’s even a magic barrier…’
You can see the flow of magic surrounding the house through your super senses. It was felt that the structure was twisted and twisted several times so that the barrier could not be easily reversed.
I tried disabling Fafnir’s barrier, but it would take at least 3 hours to break this barrier, and I felt like I was going to die from being intercepted while I was doing it.
‘I’m not going to fight with the Yu family, let’s get in.’
Boo-
When I pressed the doorbell, I heard a woman’s voice from the intercom along with the first sound of the doorbell.
-What did you come here for?
“I’m a student who wants to take the Celestial Academy entrance exam this year, but I’m here to challenge Yu Yi Seol.”
It’s still morning time, so I’ll be the first person to visit today.
It is known that he only deals with up to 3 people a day for the sake of his physical condition, so he believed that he would not be treated badly at the door.
-Will you show me your wizard license?
“Yes.”
‘Whew…’
I took out my wizard license from my subspace pocket and showed it to the intercom.
-Choi Ha-joon… F-class wizard… 17 Years old. Confirmed. The door is open, so come inside.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the door and found that the magic barrier had been lifted, limited to the door, and the door was also open.
I wondered if this was the potential of a teenaged famous family when I saw that the barrier immediately closed with the door the moment I entered.
Seeing that you can open and close such a complex magic barrier in seconds, you can use similar level of magic as offensive magic.
I walked along the garden, vowing not to cause unnecessary trouble, and a woman was waiting at the door of the mansion.
“I’ll take you inside.”
The owner of the voice I heard on the intercom earlier. She opens the door to her mansion and guides me.
As I followed her, I arrived at a room where something cold was flowing.
“This is it.”
Inside it, a girl with white hair and blue eyes wielded freezing magic freely.
‘That’s great…’
As the day of the decisive battle approaches, mankind’s ability to overcome it increases even more.
However, it is still a period before that growth acceleration begins, and she reached a B-class magician at the age of 17, which means that Yui Seol is an unbelievable genius.
She is already freely handling low-level magic without any special chanting, and easily unfolds intermediate magic as well.
Given time, she should be able to perform advanced magic without difficulty.
“Are you the one who asked me to fight?”
She asked a question as she approached me through the flurry of sleet, having destroyed all her magic so far.
“Uh. I heard that if you try, you will be accepted unconditionally.”
She uses honorifics with everyone, but she doesn’t particularly care if the other person speaks in plain language.
“Still, this is the first time an F-class wizard has taken on the challenge…”
She is already known as a B-class wizard. She tells her that those who come to challenge her are at least a D-class wizard.
It was only natural to take the F-class challenge for the first time.
‘Rather good. I’ll be able to leave a deeper impression.’
Since she came to sell, it was important to make a strong impression and draw her attention.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be knocked out in one shot.”
Despite her rating, her physical ability is already the highest among humans living on Earth, and her swordsmanship proficiency is unbelievably high even for her second week.
For any magician, it’s the first time you’ve ever seen someone like me, so my goal was to give her a shot at someone who doesn’t know much about me.
‘Because I know her.’
In her early days, she memorized all of her patterns.
Looking at the magic she used earlier, it didn’t seem that different from the girl I knew, so it seemed easy to deal with her.
“Yes. I hope so.”
I don’t know if she believes me or not, but her eyes are very indifferent.
I can feel that I have no interest in people.
‘I have to make it different.’
Today’s goal is to surprise Yu Yi-seol. Decided just that. The moment she set her goal, she handed me a band.
“Here’s the protection.”
As an object used by wizards for sparring, it summoned a thin force field on the wearer’s skin and had the effect of protecting the body.
If you receive more than a certain amount of damage, the force field will turn red.
Watching her step back wearing her band on her wrist, I also stepped behind her and kept a reasonable distance from her.
The area of the gymnasium is very wide, so there is quite a bit of space left even if you are 30m away, which is the national rule distance of Dalian.
“I’ll throw it then?”
“Wait a minute. Is it possible to use the artifact?”
There are some national rules related to sparring, but the use of artifacts tends to vary from sparring to sparring, so I asked her.
“I’m not going to use it, but you can use it.”
I am arrogant.
However, since she possesses skills worthy of her arrogance, she didn’t even think to point it out.
I could take off the artifact saying I would do it fairly, but I didn’t have the heart to do that in a situation where it wasn’t a sparring of the same level.
“Okay. Throw it then.”
“Yes.”
She tossed her coin up in the sky and the coin trailed through the air as it slowly fell towards the floor.
The moment her coin touched her floor, I threw her scabbard containing her steel sword onto her floor and spurred her to the ground and ran toward her.
Even though she always has a nonchalant expression, when she sees me suddenly rushing at her, she can see that she couldn’t keep it.
Still, she calmly created two layers of shields around her body with the radish spear and used two low-level freezing magics.
Arrows made of ice fly towards me. At the same time, the low-level binding magic of the ice type that pops up from the floor and tries to tie my feet.
Her sword lightly dodged her ice hand that was trying to grab her ankle, pulled out her Eden, and with a blow enhanced by the effect of her sword, all but one of her arrows were slashed with her blow. After that, I ran towards her without stopping her acceleration.
One uncut ice arrow touched my body and dealt some damage to the force field, thereby activating an attribute Eden possessed.
Yukchamgoldan (肉斬骨斷).
A trait that ignores 50% of the opponent’s defense.
A penetrating effect was added to my sword, which usually easily cuts through the wizard’s shield. The ice spear that flew in was also lightly cut in half and arrived in front of her before I knew it.
The moment my horizontal slash was about to reach her shield, she must have judged that it was dangerous, so she signed a hand sign with her left hand, and immediately her new form disappeared and my sword cut through the air.
‘Blink.’
B-class wizards can save up to two spells through memorization.
The spell she just memorized was Blink, one of the two spells she memorized. Of course I expected to use this.
Her new model after her short-distance teleportation reappeared at a distance of 30m from the rear, and I, who was her tumbleweed, had no choice but to run back to where she was.
I smiled at the moment she showed me the flow of her magical power preparing her intermediate magic as I watched the approaching day.
‘It’s caught.’
Yui Seol continued the chant even though he seemed to feel something strange when he saw me suddenly smiling.
I used her swordsmanship while throwing her Eden at her with the acceleration she gained while running.
The acceleration Eden gained from her thrusting sword added the power of swordsmanship, so her sword reached the front of the shield before she could complete her intermediate magic. He easily broke the protective barrier without the power of the sword.
In the end, she used Divine Protection, a divine intermediate magic, the second magic she memorized while making a hand sign again.
Unlike shield magic, it blocks only frontal attacks instead of all directions, but its hardness is a different level of protection.
No matter how much he was under the effect of Yukchamgoldan, it was not magic enough to pierce without holding any energy and not using swordsmanship.
However, Eden’s throw was just a move for her to draw out all her memorized magic, and the real one was right behind her.
The scabbard of the iron sword that I threw on the floor as soon as we started fighting. Due to the fish sword technique, the steel sword inside it was pulled out and aimed at Yu Yi-seol’s back.
‘Eden immediately transforms into a humanoid and shares the sixth part of her iron sword.’
-Yes.
Since I’m concentrating on direct control, the power of the Yukchamgoldan is added to the steel sword that shares 60% of my strength and swordsmanship skills.
She was taken aback by the sword that suddenly turned into a girl, but through her magical power detection, she sensed the iron sword that was about to touch it and hurriedly created a protective shield with a spear.
‘It’s already too late.’
The protective shield created in haste while maintaining divine protection in the front failed to block the iron sword containing the strength of the Yukchamgoldan and the skill of stabbing.
‘Hey. Does this work?’
While I am still only an E-level, I used all my skills and knowledge to defeat the B-class magician Yu Yi Seol.
‘Win..? Uh..? I didn’t intend to win…?’
She was just trying to get some attention, but she had no intention of getting excessive attention by giving her her first defeat.
I was so excited to have a real match with the main character I liked, so I tried my best to do it without thinking back, and the result came out unexpectedly.
Considering how obsessed she was with the target of her first defeat in the game, it was clear that this would lead to trouble.
‘No, it’s not a game right now, it’s reality..?’
She won’t be obsessed with me.
It’s just the first defeat that will happen once in a while, and it’s clear that it won’t give much meaning.
‘Please.’
I hope so.
