Chapter 75 – -74- Alternate Velia (10)
“Leon, come this way”
The winter lake was clear and transparent like a mirror. You can even see the scales of freshwater fish swimming in the cold water.
“It’s amazing, how transparent it is…”
“Whoops, it’s because the lake in Jarfurt is always clean because it’s far from the industrial complex.”
She said as she walked briskly around the lake, seeming delighted.
“Since the city is designed so that the city’s wastewater is properly treated and flows into the river, this lake will continue to be clean.”
While further explaining that it is the cleanest of the remaining large lakes on the continent, Bella explained about today’s lesson.
“Leon, your power…Has great potential.”
“Thank you”
“I’m not just saying”
Bella Souders looked at me with eyes full of enthusiasm and said clearly.
“The battle you showed in the cave, using the spirit of the word…Was a great inspiration to me.”
“Ugh, it’s just a trick.”
“No, absolutely not. Leon. It wasn’t mere luck that I was able to kill that warlock.”
“It’s just a skill that can be done with simple telekinesis. It’s just about bending an arrow…”
“Huh, too much humility doesn’t look good. Leon. If it was just telekinesis, the warlock would have read the intention and defended it sufficiently.”
Because we read the flow of magical power better than words. Saying that, Bella began her explanation as she walked around the lake, leaving footprints in the snow.
“Aren’t you well aware that we couldn’t deal with it because it was an irregular attack using your [Emperor]?”
“…That’s right”
“Magic is also the power to change reality, but it requires a lot of preparation. But your ability… Can you really create any situation as long as you have the minimum probability?”
“It also consumes a lot of mana.”
“That’s how flexible I am,” She praised my skill, without yielding a word.
“Because it’s such a great skill… I’m good at the lessons I’ve prepared ‘Survive’Will be able to.”
She was a mother who spoke eerie words with an expression full of trust.
***
Her class was of a different level of difficulty than before.
It was a dizzying class where the survival instinct was stimulated in seconds.
Haha! Leon! That’s amazing!”
He answered, barely avoiding the fireball that aimed at her head.
“Mother, after all, this isn’t too bad… Hehe…!”
“You can afford to talk, how! You can go a little faster, Leon!”
She didn’t even have time to ask her to watch her as she dodged her boulder that was aiming for her side.
She could understand her intention of praising the battles using my [Spirit] So far. If it wasn’t for the skill that was as useful as her idea, I would have already collapsed several times.
My mother, who knew the limits of this magical power, pushed me to the limit without giving a damn.
If we don’t effectively overcome the crisis by using the [Lord of Words], We won’t be able to withstand it.
“Leon, watch out!”
It was she who spoke as she prepared a terrifyingly sized, electric orb. Damn, that one won’t be pushed away by telekinesis?
I couldn’t even bounce it off with the sword. The electricity that rode up the blade would damage the body even while ignoring the insulation of the handle.
In my own experience, the forced contraction of my muscles was truly terrifying.
The trouble was short-lived. It was a situation that required quick action rather than a perfect judgment made late.
After driving the longsword deep into the ground, he drew water from the lake to wet the surroundings.
“All electricity was induced by the longsword and scattered.”
The thunderbolts that poured down along with the sphere hit the ground under the guidance of the [Soul Spirit]. It was a thunderbolt so powerful that the muddy ground around the blade crackled for several seconds.
“How can it be, Leon…! I thought this would be hard to avoid!”
‘Then shouldn’t I shoot…?’
It was a skill that grew as fast as she was harsh, but she was a mother who really pushed this side to the point of being terrifying.
Is it because the suggestion of ‘I feel my achievement as my own joy’ worked too well? Seeing how I continued to overcome despite harsh teachings, she seemed to feel great satisfaction.
“Then the next question…”
At her gesture, the water of the lake floated up and formed a perfect sphere. At the same time, with the other hand, he created several wisp fires to circle around the sphere as if escorting them.
The wisps of fire that had been swirling around her like living phoenixes coalesced into one large ball of fire and flew away.
As if she wasn’t satisfied with those two, it was she who prepared the beam with the follow-up.
A fireball to the left, and a heavy drop of water to the right. And to the rays that follow
How to deal with this…
It catches the cold water droplets flying from the right side with Psychokinesis and collides with the fireball that was sent along to create steam.
Along with the crackling sound of boiling water, the evaporated water vapor was condensed into [Spirit].
“Don’t disperse, come together, create a dense fog”
The steam that had turned into fog irregularly reflected the beams aimed at this direction.
The light beam, which had lost most of its power, was able to receive enough with its body.
“…Awesome. What a good decision! Leon!”
Although she had never been in combat before, she was a genius at using her magic to attack.
The growth of a tremendous genius surprised the viewer.
The problem was that that growth was making me die hard.
Her attacks have become increasingly colorful.
She had to improvise at her best, using everything in her environment: the water in the lake, the tree branches that stretched around her, and the stones buried in the ground.
While I was wondering if it would be sooner that her mana ran out, or if it would be faster for me to run out of mana, her attack finally stopped.
No, it didn’t stop. She was preparing for the next attack.
“I think I can do it now…” While muttering to herself, she squeezed the last of her mana and prepared for an attack.
With an exalted look on her face, she closed her eyes and inflated her magic power. Her swollen mana split into two branches, one forming a circle and the other spinning around it in a counterclockwise loop.
It was the Pierre-Jung magic circuit she taught me. To a circuit stable enough to sustain itself, we added one loop.
“I did it… I did it ah…” She looked thrilled, sporting an orb that flashed in the palm of her hand and emitted an eerie magical glow.
“Leon, do you see it? It’s a double nested Pierre-Jung circuit! My God, I wrote a paper on this topic sometime ago, and I never thought it would be possible…!”
‘That’s kind of scary’
The circuit she created by scraping off the last of her mana was a magic that felt terrifyingly threatening.
The magic waves created by the two orbits without interfering with each other neutralized the magical effect that came close.
A clumsy level of magic will dissipate as soon as you approach it.
A terrifying magic bullet that could not be avoided with magic was dancing on her hand.
Perhaps it was because she was immersed in the joy of succeeding in magic for the first time, she did not realize how powerful the magic bullet in her hand was.
“Fufu, then let’s wrap up today’s class by taking this child.”
“Hey, mother…? After all, that’s a bit…”
“You’re having a hard time, hehe… Do your best! Leon!”
At a speed that could not be ignored, the sphere flew in a straight line.
I tried to avoid it by throwing my body with telekinesis, but it was a sphere that deflected in a straight line, ignoring inertia.
“Shit!”
“Be careful with your words! Leon!”
It’s impossible to avoid, so…
I ponder her lessons. How to make that circulation circuit collapse… It was done by making the rotating magic touch the rotating shaft.
But how? The magic power that rotates in two orbits nullifies surrounding interference, making it impossible to interfere with the stable circuit.
‘Let’s calm down, there must be gaps in that magic…’
As a result of observing while running away, she felt that the magical flow that prevented the interference disappeared, albeit for a moment.
It was a gap shorter than the blink of an eye that only occurs when orbits overlap.
‘If the timing is right…’
I had to aim for the moment when the two orbits of circulating magic power overlapped. To compare it to a clock, it was about aiming for a single moment when each hand would overlap.
After loading an arrow filled with magic power into the air, I used all the remaining magic power and used the [Sword Spirit].
In order to contain enough magic power to overcome the probability
“An arrow pierced the orb at just the right time, neutralizing it.”
With the help of full mana, the arrow that was flying toward the sphere pierced the sphere in the air with rapid acceleration that ignored the laws of physics.
The orb pierced at the right timing failed to push the magic-loaded arrow and damaged the axis of rotation.
As the rotating shaft supporting the structure twisted, the circuits that could not maintain the structure on their own ruptured with a spectacular explosion in the air.
“100 points! 100 points! Leon!”
It was Bella Sodus, who seemed to be jumping for joy at any moment.
He came over here with a fuss about not knowing that he could solve this perfectly, and that he had prepared everything to get rid of it in the middle because he didn’t think he could stop it.
“Awesome, really…Really great, Leon…!”
Perhaps it was because of the sudden excessive use of mana, but it felt like my vision was blurring.
No, not in the mood… It actually seems to be blurring…
“Hey, Leon? Are you okay?”
Thinking that this must receive a huge reward, I lost my mind.
It was the first fainting after coming to this world.
***
“It’s a disqualification as a teacher…”
“Don’t beat yourself up too much, master. The boy is not injured, he just fainted for a while due to magical exhaustion.”
“Velia, thank you for your words, but this is my fault…”
I was so happy about Leon’s achievement, so I must have been too greedy.
It was because I was so satisfied with Leon’s ability to solve the difficult tasks I gave him.
Besides, while teaching Leon, I was getting used to magic much faster than before.
It was a disaster created by Leon’s arrogance in knowing his limits, the joy of his own achievements, and the excitement in a combat situation.
“I shouldn’t have pushed Leon like this…My fault is so great…”
Velia approached me as I looked at the fallen Leon with guilty eyes and tears.
“Bocchan, you’ll need a decent reward.”
“…Prize…?”
“Yes, master. You have worked hard and achieved great achievements, so don’t you think you deserve a reward?”
With a wicked smile, she offered me a ‘reasonable reward’.
I was startled and almost turned a deaf ear to the content of the reward that was lewd enough to make my face burn…
It was so vulgar and vulgar that I couldn’t get it out of my head, so I ended up nodding my head.
“Really, can you do my part well?”
“Of course. Master. Because I know you well.”
I guess I’ll be Velia again tonight…♥
