Chapter 114
‘I almost suffered a serious injury.’
The results were disastrous.
30 seconds into battle.
Group 3 wiped out.
‘No matter how much I intervened, things changed.’
This didn’t make sense.
It was too weak.
“Ugh…”
Justin barely got up thanks to Hersy’s heels.
Justin is a gentleman. The other children had not yet come to their senses even though the saint had helped them recover.
‘…Rather, Justin was stronger. ‘She’s one step above Catherine.’
In the original, Justin was one level weaker than Catherine.
However, the result unfolding before our eyes was the opposite.
‘Why did this result come out?’
I didn’t understand it logically.
If they had lost the opportunity to grow due to his intervention, they should all have been weak.
However, although Justin was weaker than the original, he had grown much more than Catherine.
‘Was there a separate event just for Justin?’
I was continuing my thoughts with a serious face.
“Aren’t you being too harsh?”
I heard the voices of the students watching.
Everyone looked shocked.
‘…Or maybe I couldn’t control my strength.’
“Sister Irene.”
“Speak.”
“Did I fail to control the difficulty level?”
Irene shook her head without hesitation.
“Luid’s role as a stand-in was perfect. “Those kids are just very weak.”
“right? “It’s much weaker than I thought.”
What Ruid was thinking inside came out out of his mouth.
But there was no need to correct it.
It makes no sense that he came to the brink of death because of the fist he swung to stop him.
No matter how many events I was unable to experience due to the barrier, if this level of skill is average at the Academy…
‘If there is no barrier, even against a demon without ego, the result is annihilation.’
“professor. Do you have a question.”
Isabella approached with a nervous face.
“Is this really the average northern monster?”
“No way. The first defense line monsters are the weakest in the north. “That too, overwhelmingly.”
“…I can’t believe it. “There are seven defense lines.”
“This is what I can’t believe. “You guys are doing too much.”
Ruid looked around at the students.
“What on earth have you been doing? “Did you learn it?”
“I agree with Isabella.”
A man who looked aristocratic was walking towards me.
“If the monsters in the North are overwhelmingly stronger than this level, there is no way even the Duke of Windsor can handle it alone. I know Windsor is strong, but isn’t he still one body? There are seven defense lines…”
“Huh? “Our master is right, my friend.”
Charlotte smiled lovingly and twisted her hair.
“The first line of defense is a place where only newbies go to the Duke of Windsor. The survival rate is… ah. “How much was it?”
Amelia thought for a moment and said.
“I don’t know that there have been any casualties in the last five years.”
“right! 100%. However, other defense lines have a survival rate of less than 50%. “If two new recruits are sent in, one of them will die.”
Charlotte made a V and brought it to her eyes.
The strength of the Duke of Windsor was not limited to individual strength.
Knights who have survived by fighting powerful monsters for nearly a thousand years. That experience.
Yes. The Duke of Windsor was stronger than any knight in an empire steeped in peace.
Of course, Ruid also knows this. But….
‘Even if the deviation is severe, it is too severe.’
“It’s true…?”
“Well, it’s absolutely impossible.”
“It’s impossible… How can I catch such a strong monster?”
“We are still students…”
The students murmured.
Ruid was slowly getting angry.
Rather than lamenting my own abilities, I felt frustrated and disliked the idea of thinking ‘I can’t do it’ before I even tried it.
Above all, it was difficult to keep it like this.
If the momentum was lost from the start, there was no way to improve your skills.
There was a need for something to change the mood.
‘That’s it.’
A good idea came to Luid’s head.
“The entire student council should come out.”
Damon, Hercy, Asha, and Ella came forward.
‘One person is not enough.’
He looked around and motioned to Gilbert.
“Gilbert is coming too.”
“yep.”
Ruid looked around at the students and spoke a little loudly.
“Here, there are students with the same conditions as you. We were given the same amount of time and received the same education. If the student council wins the battle, there will be no complaints, right? Because it means you can do it too.”
The students didn’t react.
But sometimes there are things you can know even without hearing an answer.
They were already in denial before the battle even started.
The student council will lose.
“Oh, that means I have to spar with you.”
Damon said with interest.
“huh. Same as in Article 3, with the condition of 1st defense line mine. However, Damon, you are strong, so you have to fight with Litton. Power is prohibited. And Asha.”
“yes yes!”
Asha, trembling while holding a cane, was filled with fear.
‘…is that friend okay?’
But Ruid was cruel. It would have been better to set up a scarecrow to get the proportions right. Only then can it become a good education.
Ruid took out a sword out of the air and threw it at Asha.
“Ugh, ugh!”
Asha grabbed the spinning sword with trembling hands.
I threw it to catch it with telekinesis, but I was surprised first because I caught it with my bare hands, and secondly because I caught it at a very precise time.
“Asha play the role of a knight.”
“Hyung.”
Asha hiccuped while holding the sword.
“Well, I don’t know how to use a sword at all.”
“are you okay. It’s just about matching the assortment. Even if Damon fights with Litton, he will fight for two, so it can’t be helped for balance reasons. “Ella plays the role of Pure.”
“What kind of magic can I use?”
The talented assistant asked with sparkling eyes.
“To the maximum extent your skills allow.”
“yes.”
Ella responded like a soldier saluting.
“Well, that’s an interesting condition.”
Damon raised the corners of his mouth.
Ruid took a step back and gained an appropriate distance.
‘I don’t know if the student council has the skills to beat Mine, but-’
Ruid was able to say with certainty.
I won’t fall down helplessly like Justin did just now.
“I’ll start when Ella chants.”
“Ella, please wait a moment.”
After speaking to Ella, Hersi closed her eyes.
“proteja.”
-Protect.
“Lasă vântul să stea.”
-The wind swirls around.
“Arc de vânt, săgeată de vânt, atac ghidat!”
-Wind bow, wind arrow, guided attack!
Hersy’s hair was blowing in the wind.
The wind’s magic flowed not only to himself, but also to Damon, Asha, and Gilbert.
Unlike Group 3, they are using the rules to apply the best buff they can.
It’s a good choice. But…
‘Aren’t you doing too much doping…?’
“Vântul în mână.”
-Wind, in my hand.
Finally, as he stretched his hand into the air and spit out a rune, Hersi’s staff transformed into a bow.
“I will take the lead.”
Damon also came forward, holding a spear.
“No, Prince Damon. The leader is Sir Gilbert and Asha.”
The atmosphere was different from the usual Hercy.
Damon’s eyebrows twitched. I looked into Hercy’s eyes.
After a moment of silence, Damon smiled and said.
“You’re a bold girl.”
That was quite unexpected.
I thought Damon wouldn’t listen to anyone.
He switched places with Gilbert.
“Asha?”
“Hi.”
Asha took a deep breath and stood in the lead with shaky legs.
…I feel sorry for Asha, so let’s take care of her.
“Ella, how long does the chanting take?”
“Uh… you said it was the best of my skills, so it will take about 15 minutes.”
“…It’s too slow.”
Hersi thought about it and said.
“How long will it take if I hand over my magical powers?”
“Oh, then it will take about 3 minutes.”
“If it takes 3 minutes… I guess it can be done somehow.”
Hercy took a deep breath and said as she pulled the string towards Ruid.
“Ella, please start.”
At the same time that Hersy let go of his protest, Ella began chanting.
Ruid dodged Hercy’s arrow by simply tilting his head.
They immediately strengthened their bodies and rushed towards Ella.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t pass by, Confucius.”
Gilbert blocked the way and swung his sword.
“It’s Mine now.”
After answering indifferently, Ruid lightly kicked the ground and jumped over Gilbert. Gilbert’s sword strike passed at his feet.
“…!”
“Uh, uh, I don’t know!”
Asha swung her sword sloppily at Ruid in the air.
‘…cute.’
Ruid used Asha’s slow sword as a stepping stone and leapt past once more.
But-
“Please don’t go!”
Asha turned her sword and aimed at Ruid’s back.
‘what.’
It is physically impossible to modify the trajectory of a sword once swung.
That is an act of ignoring inertia.
But Asha did it.
Asha’s sword was about to reach his neck.
Empty!
Ruid flipped his body halfway and kicked the underside of Asha’s sword and landed on the floor.
‘Up, it was dangerous.’
If Asha’s sword had been a little faster, the barrier would have been activated.
“Are you selling one eye?”
Before I could take a stance, Damon’s spear flew out. Ruid wrapped his arms around magic and struck it away.
Ting!
Damon’s spear was blown out loudly. Damon clicked his tongue. Ruid extended his fist into the empty space.
“Transformare!”
-Transformation!
Hersi’s rune language was heard.
But Ruid did not withdraw his fist.
I was planning to dodge after delivering a blow to Damon.
However,
Hercy’s arrows were faster than expected.
Sigh!
However, Hercy’s arrow pierced Damon, not Ruid.
Pong!
And Ruid’s fist hovered in the air.
“…!”
Damon disappeared.
Soon after, Hercy’s arrow sent Ruid back.
And saw.
A black cat standing where Damon was.
“…no way. Damon?”
Pong!
As soon as I could speak, the cat turned into Damon.
“Well, it was really Damon.”
Ruid opened his eyes wide.
“What are you doing?”
Damon was furious and shouted at Hercy.
“I couldn’t help it!”
“You bitch—!”
…I’ve never seen Damon so angry. It was almost like killing me.
“Why a cat! “There were tigers and lions!”
“Does it matter now!”
‘Oops.’
It was so absurd that I forgot about it.
That Ella is chanting.
“Sigh.”
Gilbert’s sword flew to the side.
Ruid raised his arm to block.
At that moment, Gilbert strongly grabbed Lloyd’s arm with his left hand.
“Now!”
Ruid glanced back.
Asha was running towards me with a sword in hand.
The posture was a mess, and the sword was so heavy that it even tilted while running, but it would be difficult in this state.
Ruid used his magic power to a greater extent and took Gilbert’s entire body.
“Ugh!”
If Asha extends her sword to the end, Gilbert will inevitably get hurt.
But then something unimaginable happened.
Asha’s sword curved like a snake and headed towards Ruid’s right arm, who was holding Gilbert like a shield.
“What the hell…!”
Startled, Ruid pulled out his arm and jumped backwards.
Kuwaaaa!
Damon’s spear flew violently at the landing site.
It was impossible to avoid it with Majin’s abilities.
Damon said with a repentant smile.
“It’s check mate. “Luid.”
‘It’s dangerous.’
At that moment—
Faaah!
The surroundings turned gray.
The fast-flying spear came to a near standstill.
It made the flow of time extremely slow.
To be exact, it just felt like my thinking was speeding up and time was slowing down.
‘Considering his physical ability, it is impossible to avoid Damon’s attack. It is considered as if he lost one arm.’
Ruid quickly ‘calculated’ the current situation.
‘There are about 28 seconds left until Ella’s great magic explodes.’
‘There is no way Mine can withstand standard Pure magic.’
We had to analyze the organic movements of the student council members and carefully plan their movements.
A long formula was written out in Ruid’s head.
When I infused my magic power,
a blue flame bloomed from my right eye.
“…!”
At that time, Ruid realized.
There is no way a demon without a ‘self’ could do something called ‘computation’.
That means he has already used up more than the power of the first line of defense.
‘…I’ve already lost.’
Ruid returned time to its original flow and relaxed his body.
It’s so scary!
The transparent barrier from Ruid’s body collided with Damon’s spear.
“I won!”
“Cheer up!”
The student council group shouted with joy.
On the other hand, Ruid…
“….”
His lips were sticking out.
