Chapter 131 – Shaping Dimensional Energy

I inhaled and exhaled lightly.
The feeling of tightness in her chest seemed to oppress me.
After leaving it loose for quite a while, I felt the weight of the ponytail after a long time.

‘It’s heavier than I thought.’

I checked my appearance through the mirror and used the dimensional transfer to the training ground.
However, the place I arrived was not inside the training ground, but in front of the entrance.
I wonder if I was surprised by the sudden feeling of shimmering in the air and leaving an afterimage in the blue light.
The eyes of the students passing by to use the training ground linger on me for a while.

“Wow, was there anyone like that?”

Then, the voice of a female student wearing a school uniform from Honghwa Academy is heard.
Maybe he said that he saw me as a man, not a woman.
A long-awaited male disguise.
Maybe I was a little afraid of the eyes of others who saw me as a man and found out that I was dressed as a man.

‘Let’s go in.’

I walked to the training ground.
When I opened the door and entered, there were a similar number of people wearing blue and red school uniforms.
Maybe I’m the most late.

‘It’s not too late though.’

I casually blend in among the students and find my seat.
However, as if the word Gungye Ilhak is not for nothing, her appearance, which seems overwhelmingly pretty for a man, catches the attention of female students from Honghwa Academy.
Even before the academy was destroyed, it seems like it would have been because there were no men and only women lived together.

Why is it strangely uncomfortable?

“It’s not too late.”
“Uh.”

Did Kim Joo-won and I run away from the academy for nearly a year, at this point, well buried?
In fact, since the forced closure of Honghwa Academy is such a big event, they probably don’t know.
Who I am
And what happened.

– So, have you all gathered?

At that moment, our instructor’s voice resounded in the training ground, as if all the students had arrived.
Even in the original work, where it is meaningless to argue now, something similar to this happened.
If an instructor from the Cheonghwa side, who is familiar with handling equipment, is in charge of adjusting the training ground, an instructor from the Honghwa side controls the students on the spot.
It wasn’t that there weren’t parts that shared roles with each other.

‘That woman is…’

Of course, it didn’t matter what the instructor did to me right now.
Bella Astarte.
The silver-haired woman I had briefly seen before, who was looking at the instructor with an incomprehensible smile, was the only one in my line of interest.

‘Ignore the defense…’

If it’s not what I think her ability activation form is.
Purely, if it’s an ability that allows you to literally ignore the enemy’s defense and land a guaranteed hit, you might be able to make it your ally.
However, if her ability

If it’s an extension of space erasure by applying dimensional abilities.

‘Lee Seo-ha…!’

Remember a person
The anger that had been dormant seems to rise again.
However, that anger may be in vain, so I put it to sleep for now.

Because nothing has been confirmed yet.
Thinking with only uncertain information or vague guesses only adds to the confusion for yourself.
It’s not too late to talk about everything after making it clear.

“Then, the first school you want to join…”
The instructor in charge of the Honghwa side, who was in charge of the scene, raised his hand terribly before he finished speaking.
Then, before the instructor says anything, get up from your seat and confidently walk to the center.

“The student’s name is…”
“This is Seoha Lee, over there.”

Then raise your hand and point with your finger at just one person.

“I want to hang out with student Bella Astarte.”

Suddenly, some students startled and heard the sound of breathing in.
Maybe something like this happened between them.
For example, as soon as that girl named Bella Astarte transferred to Honghwa, she destroyed all the students in her class.

“Student Bella?”

Of course, I don’t care what happened between them.

“Yes.”
“Student Seoha Lee here wants to hang out with you, would you accept it?”

Bella Astarte.
At the instructor’s question, her gaze turns to me.
But he’s good at keeping a poker face, and he doesn’t show emotion on his face.
Excuse me, her distinctive red eyes, as if asking me about her intentions, look at me.

‘You’d be interested too.’

It is a unique ability, at least in Korea.
Right now, ignoring defense is a very rare ability, but since it is a being born with an even more valuable ability, there is no way that a person with the ability will not be interested.

“I like it too.”

If she did, she would wonder how far my abilities would have followed.
If it wasn’t for that, I couldn’t help but be curious about the ability of dimension itself.

Looking at the confident Bella Astarte, I inhaled and exhaled a small breath.
Reminds me of the forgotten original.
In addition to reconnaissance and detection, Lee Seo-ha is reminded of what he was able to do by participating in the battle.

Defense.
In the original work, right before he died, Lee Seo-ha’s powerful defensive power, which received pretty much anything through the dimensional barrier in the final form, made him stand in the vanguard.
Was Kim Joo-won able to break through the crisis situation in the early and mid-mid years through Lee Seo-ha’s support?

“I was curious about the ability of that dimension.”

Eyes meet each other.
Are you curious about Seoha Lee’s ability to respond to defense ignoring?
Or is it because he is curious about how much he has followed him?

“Then, the first match will be conducted by two people.”

At the instructor’s words, light began to shine from below.
A signal to activate the virtual training device and enter Bella Astarte and I into the virtual underworld.
When the surroundings turn black for a moment and then shine again, when the cooler air surrounds them.

“Whoa.”

Before I knew it, I was standing in the center of the broken ruins.
In front of me, Bella Astarte is looking at me as if telling me to fight hard.

“Huh, I was a little surprised. In the first match, I didn’t know that I would point him out as my opponent.”

I don’t know if it’s really her or her mockery, but I breathe in and out as I watch her speak to me in her tone.
If he came out to fight, he would just attack, why talk so much.

“Hyeonseong… Was she a princess?”

At the words that seemed to have roughly finished the investigation of what kind of object I was, his heart cooled.
As she said, Lee Seo-ha is a woman who inherited the blood of a prominent conglomerate family called Hyeon-seong.

“You know what.”
“If you come from a big business family, aren’t there a lot more things you can do to protect people than these guardian activities?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m a home child.”

It was certain that that woman, at least, had a strong back that was comparable to the current Seo-ha Lee.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to come out with a status outside the academy like that.

“So I hope you don’t have any unnecessary questions.”

As soon as she exhaled her breath, the prepared dimensional transmission sent me behind her.
Her blue afterimage, along with her chirping, informs her that I have appeared behind her.
But did Bella know that I was going to get her own back?

‘Aren’t you embarrassed?’

Slightly turning her foot, only her gaze slightly moved behind her, and summoned a blue sword, Hanja Lu, in her hand.
If anyone sees it, she’s almost fooled by the movement that looks like a melee sword fight with her main weapon.

‘It was a medium-range combat type rather than a short-range one.’

Recalling the video of her when she comes to her academy and smashes all of her classmates, she takes her step forward once again.
A warp that leaves no precursors or afterimages.

“Where are you looking?”

Seeing her swinging heel behind her to avoid it, the moment he kicked her foot back and tried to pull her body away.
Watching the fabric of the shin cut due to the difference in haircut, I feel once again with my body what the meaning of defense ignoring is.

‘Similar to deleting space, but not deleting space.’

Unlike space deletion, which accesses a two-dimensional space and ignores the current dimension space.
With the movement that cannot ignore the space itself in her current dimension, the assumption that she is to be written is erased from her head.
Obviously, even though her sword seems to have jumped out of her space, in reality, a virtual striking body follows the trajectory of the blade she wielded.

‘Was it like this?’

As a result, the assumption that Bella should be Lee Seo is completely erased from her mind.
A mistake that maybe shouldn’t have been made.
However, since it has not fully grown, thoughts that do not overcome the limits of what it can see make mistakes.
He makes her treat her as her pure Bella Astarte, not her Lee Seo-ha in disguise.

‘Be quick.’

As she sees her approaching before her eyes, she unwittingly unfolds her dimensional curtain in front of her.
However, her ability to freely summon a virtual strike body directly hits the blade beyond the dimensional veil.
It informs me that Lee Seo-ha’s defense, which relies on a summoning body called a barrier, is completely ignored.

“I’ve heard quite a bit about you. Your defense is strong enough to defend against the active Guardian’s attacks, right?”

At the same time, Bella’s twitching sounds in her ears.
However, the moment I get swayed by that grin, I try to ignore her words because the only thing left for me is defeat.

“However, I’m completely ignoring your defense.”
“So what.”
“If you don’t want to face the outcome of death, abstain. Then at least you won’t show an ugly face in front of your juniors.”
“Awkward look? Just one of them?”

Last time, I lost my mind due to continuous application of unreasonable space deletion.

“Oh, you don’t even know what compatibility is. If that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to teach you with my body.”

In a situation where even the strongest defense, which is the greatest strength here, is completely ignored, it may be far away that I can win.
But, that’s what I said before.

“…!”

Surprised by her sharp energy body flying right in front of her own eyes, Bella ducks to her side.
However, that brief gap caused by one evasion is an opportunity for me.

“If you can, try it.”

Seeing her cut on her stomach and her left arm covered in blood from her second-dimensional blade, I rather smirk this time.

“If you accepted a fight with me because you thought I was a defensive tool, you would die here.”

The second trick I came up with after realizing that deleting space wasn’t enough.
Formation of energy, which came from the idea of ​​compulsively constructing the energy itself into a physical body and striking it, was revealing itself as blue arrows floating next to me.
