Chapter 473 – Assignment Inspection (5)

It’s been about an hour since Junior Seongcheol started catching Magmarello with the flame whip.

Choi Hwa-yeong was surprised to see him kill 15 magmarellos with only the 5th circle fire magic.

‘No matter how basic strength and guts you have, I never thought I’d be able to catch this much…’

First of all, I was surprised by the fact that I had killed more than 10 A-class monsters that I initially expected.

What surprised her even more was the fact that she killed her 14 monsters with only her 5-circle fire magic.

‘Oh, he grows up fast.’

Even though he must have already been in a situation where he was quite exhausted, he was still holding on without collapsing.

Of course, in Choi Hwa-yeong’s view, even that endurance was already close to the limit.

The mana that was wasted too much while moving to catch Magmarello with only the flame whip.

And her stamina has dropped remarkably enough that you can tell by looking at her eyes.

‘I think it’ll be over if I squeeze out all my remaining energy and kill two or three more.’

There is only a difference between whether the mind breaks first and gives up and lies down, or the body hits its limit and loses consciousness and falls like a doll with a string off.

First of all, considering only the tenacity he had shown so far, it was closer to the latter.

To prevent that from happening, she would have no choice but to restrain herself to some extent.

‘Because junior Seongcheol hides his gender and is active. It must be difficult to take him to a place like the Guild’s treatment room. I have no choice but to feed them energy or magic potions and then make them recover on their own.’

If that happened, opportunities to show off her wonderful side would be rare, but she couldn’t help it because her situation was not good.

Personally, if I had the opportunity, it would have been a little better, but as Seongcheol’s junior’s mentor, it was more important not to hinder his growth.

The moment I tried to intervene to stop at an appropriate line so that my junior would not collapse from exhaustion.

‘I have to stop now… Uh?’

In Choi Hwa-yeong’s eyes, the blade of a great sword that glowed with a blue-green light came into her eyes.

As soon as he saw that, Choi Hwa-young felt a little bit of disappointment towards Seong-cheol’s junior.

‘… I told you to only use the improved versions of the Flame Whip and Explosive Fist.’

Since the situation is going wrong, is it a habit to bring out the weapon you are most familiar with and try to finish it off?

Of course, if this training was a real battle, it would be appropriate to use all available means to defeat the monsters.

In any case, this moment was a class conducted under his supervision.

To disobey the restrictions he gave in class and wield the sword first.

Although it was Choi Hwa-yeong who stopped the test and approached Seong-cheol junior for violating the rules to warn him.

Soon after, she noticed that Seongchul Kim’s purpose was slightly different from what she had thought.

‘… Flame?’

“Haaaaahahahahah!!”

Junior Seong-cheol wields a mithril greatsword with sparks and continues hunting with Magmarel again.

Of course, the process of defeating Magmarello was mostly sword-slicing, but Choi Hwa-young could not stop his actions.

That would be the case, because in the mithril greatsword in his hand, something presumed to be a revised version of the Explosion Fist was burning on the blade.

‘A flame attack used in close range, the handle seems to be protected by applying cold magic, and it also has the ability as an elemental attack…’

It’s too absurd to say that it’s an improved version of Explosive Fist.

However, the mithril greatsword wielded by Seongcheol’s juniors was obviously doing more damage to Magmarello with the help of flame magic.

While contemplating whether or not to allow this as a teacher, Hwayoung Choi raised the following monsters one after another from their slumber.

It was about 10 minutes later that all 20 A-class monsters were defeated.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

“Whoa, haaaaa…”

After nearly an hour and a half of magmarello hunting.

Completely exhausted, I lay down on the dungeon floor and breathed in exhaustion.

… I really thought I’d have them kill all 20 A-rank monsters without a break.

I think I had a Spartan-style class just a few days ago with Eun-young noona that was as good as this one.

No matter how much I thought about it, my teachers seemed to overestimate their students.

And senior Hwayoung looks like she is standing still and contemplating something even after her Seonji class is over.

“Senior Hwayoung.”

“…”

“… Senior?”

… In fact, I could predict to some extent what she was worried about.

Hwayoung must be thinking about how to judge after seeing the mithril greatsword I took out midway through solving her assigned task.

As long as the conditions she initially gave her, she can use only two techniques to catch twenty magmarellos.

It was just an improved version of the Flame Lash and Explosive Fist that I’ve been developing and putting to use in the past few months.

The flame whip would pass without saying anything, but the subjective judgment of the senior would have to be entered for the flame sword, which is an improved version of the explosive fist.

Of course, as senior Hwayoung said, she used a flame whip and a flame sword in the process of catching all the magmarellos.

However, the magic of the flame sword itself had to be accompanied by a mithril greatsword to use the magic.

Conversely, if there is no sword that can be wrapped in flames, the magic of the flame sword itself is a magic that cannot be established.

“… Whoa.”

The senior, who looked as if her troubles were over to a certain extent, began to walk towards the spot where she was lying.

I also struggled to get my tired body up and sat down.

Still, it’s a teacher’s lecture, but you can’t lie down and listen to it.

“… Who wants to take out a sword and wield it during fire magic class?”

“But the flame sword, which is an improved version of the explosion fist, cannot be used without the Mithril Greatsword.”

“It’s already an improved version of the original explosion fist itself.”

“The idea of ​​using flame magic at close range remains, right?”

“…”

Of course, he lightly answered questions from seniors who expected him to return.

Senior Hwayoung let out a sigh with a mysterious feeling and quietly nodded her head.

“… For now, I’ll pass it.”

“Oops!”

“… I won’t see you next time Don’t cheat like this.”

“It wasn’t a trick, it was a necessary process…”

“If you were really going to prove the power of your flame sword, you should have used a more ordinary and old sword rather than a great sword made of a material like mithril.”

“… It does.”

After all, it doesn’t work if you go over it erratically.

I had no choice but to nod my head instead of making excuses at Hwayoung-senpai’s extremely obvious reasoning.

“I’m just going to confirm that your fire sword magic isn’t lacking in power and move on. If it was halfway to covering the remaining fire, there would be no chin.”

“Yes!”

“… And well, whatever the magician uses as his staff is his own freedom. If you think of that greatsword as your staff, it wouldn’t be that strange.”

While saying that, senior Hwayoung waved a pipe she took out of the front pocket of her gown in front of my eyes.

It seemed that he was wielding that pipe when he used large-scale magic the other day, so it seems that the staff of the senpai was that pipe.

In the case of Do Ye-hee, she used to use a fan that arrogantly covered her expression as a staff.

In fact, the only magician I knew who used the most staff-like staff was Cha Yu-ri.

The reason why she uses such an old-fashioned staff in the first place is probably because of her admiration for her idol Karin Rayner.

“I was thinking of continuing the next class as usual… Looking at you, it seems like it would be difficult for me to bear it.”

“… Please take a look, old man.”

“If you are going to make an improved version, you should have made a few more instead of just one. If you use only the flame whip all the time and then swing the flaming sword only when your strength is exhausted, you will not lose your stamina and you will be hungry?”

“… I made it with a lot of thought to make two of them.”

“It’s all because of the lack of effort to create something new. I’ll show you a little bit with an example.”

– Hurray.

Senior Hwayoung, who left me sitting on the floor and listening to Master’s class, fired a remade fireball at the bumpy wall.

The twenty-first Magmarello, who was still asleep, woke up in response to her fire magic.

Immediately, from Hwayoung-senpai’s hand, a three-pronged stem of flame stretched forward and flew away.

-Kwaguawang!

‘Guuuuuk!’

With only one swing, Magmarello explodes three flames in a row and collapses in an instant.

As soon as I saw it, the flame whip I had wielded with all my might just now felt quite shabby.

“This is the application of the flame whip. It should be twice to three times more effective than what you’ve been wielding all day. Of course, since this is a 6th circle magic, it is natural that there will be a difference in power.”

“…”

“And the improved version of Explosive Fist… Maybe you can use it this way too. Observe how the flow of my magical power flows.”

And this time, after waking up the new Magmarello, he pointed at the staff toward the ground.

The red magic power that escaped from her body began to extend toward Magmarello in a straight line from the altar floor.

‘Gwuuu…’

– Kwaaang!

‘… Boo.’

Magmarello is knocked down by an explosion from the ground before he can even take a proper step.

This magic was just as powerful as the one he just showed.

“This is what I made after seeing the explosive fist you made the other day and applying it once. The advantage of magic that is used in close proximity is that the spread of magic power is reduced and the power becomes stronger, so it is to minimize the loss by moving the magic power into the ground.”

“…”

“I just wanted to let you know that I didn’t have to be bound by the concept of melee magic. If you minimize magic loss like this, even with 5th circle level magic, you can explode a magmarello in one shot.”

“Ah yes…”

To be honest, the prototype of the explosion fist was already a way to use it.

Hwayoung was definitely much more skilled at the skill of subtracting one or two useful concepts from a failed magic and applying it.

Well, if you simply think about your age, you’ll be several times my size, and your period as a hunter will be much longer.

After all, it can’t be matched by the power of age.

“Isn’t it harder than I thought?”

“I see it in person.”

“This should have been enough for you to rest, so try using the magic I just showed you.”

… Huh?

“… Did I hear you wrong?”

“I don’t know because I saw it once. How did they both come out?”

“… Yes?”

“Don’t keep saying stupid things. Don’t you start soon? If you don’t have enough mana, drink this to make up for it.”

Obviously, even though it was a class that took quite expensive magic potions, for some reason, my heart wasn’t comfortable at all.

In the process of overworking my already tired body and head again, there was one thought that passed through my head.

As expected, I must have picked the wrong teacher.
