Chapter 10 – Episode 10. 1v1 Dalian

At 1:00 p.M., Freshmen from class A were lined up in three rows in the arena.

1v1 sparring. In other words, anti-personnel training.

It is a simple class in which students pair up and compete against each other.

“The matchup is determined randomly on the spot. The compatibility between individuals is not considered at all. You can’t fight only with opponents with an advantage in compatibility for the rest of your life. “

“Yep!”

Maybe it’s because they’re freshmen, but at times like this, everyone has a sense of discipline.

“But I will give a special right to challenge to those who do it for the first time. I will give you the right to point out whoever you want.”

It’s not bad to start out here and build relationships with the main characters, but it’s still unclear how well I’ll be in interpersonal battles. Let’s pass class quietly today.

“Can I name you?!”

“Okay, point it out, Lucy.”

Lucy stood next to the gun instructor and scanned the students with her eyes. As if I couldn’t see the person I was looking for, I turned my head while frowning, and my eyes met.

“I’ll name Lee Ho-yeon!”

Yeah? Me?

“Lee Ho-yeon? Why suddenly?”

“By the way, in the morning class, it’s a bit unexpected.”

“You were praised by Professor Imsol before.”

“Isn’t it just a confession? I’m going to scold you with a confession in front of everyone.”

“Wow, Lucy is surprisingly aggressive.”

It sounded like an open confession and I fell asleep.

“Both of you, come up to the arena. Bring your own weapons.”

After all, Lucy and I are also wizards. Even if you bring a weapon you have never used before, your body will only feel heavy for no reason.

So I was going to go naked, but there was a dagger that looked light, so I picked one up and went up to the arena. Maybe there’s a place to write it.

In the front of the circular couplet, I felt a strong gaze.

When I looked up, Lucy was smiling and glaring at me.

In fact, the glaring itself is cute, but I could see a predatory beast reflected in those eyes that were glaring at me.

As the two handsome and beautiful women faced each other, there was an uproar among those who didn’t know anything.

Everyone’s eyes are fixed on the two of us.

It was what was expected. At Victoria Academy, where there are many sparring classes, I thought that someday I would have a job with Lucy.

I didn’t know it would be this fast.

Lucy is also one of the heroines, and she is extremely talented.

The younger sister, Rumi, specializes in defensive magic, and the older sister, Lucy, specializes in offensive magic.

Although her fighting ability in the second half is only offensive, the appearance of burning enemies with overwhelming firepower on the battlefield is a beast itself in contrast to her cute appearance.

Of course, at this point, she was still at the level of a fairly strong prospect, but I, who had no real experience, was not an opponent to beat.

‘At first, I wanted to gain experience against the extras… Ha ha.’

★ Heroine status window

[Lucy]
– [ Favorite rating : 20 ]
– [ Sex drive : 5 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue : 20 ]

Since he apologized yesterday, his favorability rating has gone up from 2 to 20.

I don’t understand. You don’t seem angry, but why did you apply for sparring?

“Are you ready to apologize?”

Lucy spoke first from the other side.

“It seems to be a trend these days to apologize in the arena.”

“Actually, I’m not very angry. Because I saw your condition at that time. Yesterday’s apology seemed sincere.”

“If you think so, I’m grateful.”

Lucy slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

“But, if you’re sorry, you’ll have to pay the price. I’ll receive your apology after sparring.”

I guess I’m thinking of getting an apology, but even if it’s the situation, I’m pissed off for touching her breasts, so I’m saying you should be punished?

In the mana field of the arena, even if you are attacked, you will not be physically hurt.

However, the pain is felt as it is for the real sense. In a real situation, if you can’t show your skills because of the pain, you can’t do it.

If possible, I don’t want to be hit by magic… But it seems really painful.

“Now, there is no problem with the mana field, are you ready for each other?”

———————-

『The sub-quest has been sent.』

[Now attacking my sister!]

Don’t let your guard down just because you became close with Rumi!

You can’t make Lucy like her brother just because you said a few words to her. Why don’t he become a bad guy by overwhelmingly winning in Dalian?

– Reward: Lucy’s favorability slightly increased

———————-

He was relaxing for the upcoming match, when a quest window suddenly appeared in front of him.

No, you can become a bad guy just by overwhelmingly winning Dalian, right? I don’t think this is

“Lee Ho-yeon! If you’re ready, answer me!”

“Ah, yep!”

The instructor’s shouts brought me to my senses. Well, it seems that there is no penalty for failing, so shall we try?

I tried stretching here and there to loosen up my body, but it didn’t seem to help.

The dagger on my belt tapped my thighs every time I walked.

It’s downright uncomfortable. I don’t think I’ll ever use it, but I brought it for no reason.

“3, 2, 1. Start!”

Pop!

As the barriers blocking each other were broken, sparring began.

As soon as the start signal was heard, Mana was implemented.

Lucy uses fire attribute mana. Because I also mainly use fire attribute mana, the compatibility is half and half.

Of course, other properties can also be used. I tried it at the training center and it was easy.

However, it is too conspicuous to show several properties now.

‘It’s too early to pay too much attention.’

Lucy implemented mana in the form of fire arrows. Later, it easily shoots hundreds or even thousands of arrows like that.

Shu Shu Shuk!

About 10 fiery arrows are shooting at me.

I blocked the arrows with the fire barrier that was being implemented in advance.

The arrows lost their power and disappeared after colliding with the barrier.

A battle like a light search battle.

“It’s pretty good? He said he was going to become a wizard, so I thought he was aiming for an association official.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

The casting speed in the workshop just now was similar. The difference is that I did my best to block Lucy’s fiery arrows.

But Lucy still seemed to have plenty of energy. For her, her just-battle was a really light exploration game.

Certainly, he was calmer than me who had no experience, and he was also proficient in magic. If I had more experience, I would have shot down the fire arrows efficiently using the magic sphere, but I still don’t have the ability to divide and control more than 10 magics.

“Let’s finish quickly. There are many people waiting behind us.”

Fire-!

Dozens of fire arrows rise above Lucy’s head.

This can’t be stopped Lucy also implemented the magic with all her might this time.

An overwhelming number of fire arrows. The majestic figure and the pressure that they will fly to me soon.

I thought for a moment that I should hit him once and finish it, but I can’t just hit him.

If the relationship with Lucy is restored with that, he will hit me again and again, but I don’t think that hitting him once and apologizing will help improve the relationship.

Really really, maybe a bad boy would be better as the system says.

Yeah let’s do something

Pounding!

As soon as you make up your mind, your heart beats faster and faster. My body did not let go of ‘Lee Ho-yeon’, the ‘protagonist’ of this world.

Pounding!

Blood circulates rapidly from the depths of the chest and spreads vitality throughout the body.

My authority slowly rising. [Combat Sense]

It was my first time using it properly, but I got used to it quickly.

Kneeling [Combat sense] Gave the body a moderate sense of tension and sharpened the senses.

The head becomes cold. [Distinct mental strength] Erased the feeling of giving up and started looking for a way to destroy this situation.

[Mana Sensing] Tried to analyze and understand the fire arrows in front of her eyes as much as possible.

The whole body is enveloped in exhilaration. It seems that his condition is better than before the sparring.

‘You can win. No, I have to win.’

Lee Ho-yeon’s talent [Combat sense]. In the game, this power alone creates ridiculous variables. In addition, [Mana response] And [Distinct mental strength], Which were received as perks, were combined.

The encounter between variables and variables that would not have been possible in the original gave birth to another variable.

『Inherent skills bloom.』

『Inherent Skill: [Opening Eyes] Has been acquired.』

———『Opening eyes』—————————–

▶ Unique Skill

▶Concentrates mana into the eyes to maximize eye strength.
The ability to recognize and distinguish beings or forms imbued with mana is maximized.

——————————————–
“Do you mean…?”

“Did you give up? I thought you had ambition, but you’re boring.”

Lucy looked at me as I stood still, puzzled, then shrugged his shoulders and fired a fiery arrow at me.

Fire arrows flew at me, and I activated [Opening Eyes].

As I concentrated mana in my eyes, I felt a slight pain.

“Kuk.”

The pain in my eyes got worse. Unable to bear the pain, I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them.

Jiing-

At the same time, Mana began to appear in her eyes, and my vision widened the moment I recognized Mana’s visualization.

As if an additional eye was added on each side of the face, the field of view itself became abnormally wide, and I was able to observe the mana dissolved in the atmosphere at will.

Before panicking at the sudden change in vision, he had to deal with the flying arrows of fire.

Arrows of fire flying towards me.

Jiing-

As soon as I gazed at the magic properly, a distortion occurred in my field of vision. I understand the principle of magic flying towards me and the structural formula of mana.

Where this magic is coming from, how far its firepower deals damage, and how much its destructive power are are forcibly embedded in my head.

It was already too late to respond with magic. Should be avoided

Then how to avoid it? The moment I thought, the optimal route was naturally visible.

Fire arrows flying towards me. I saw that magic path.

Shuwook-.

About 30 red lines are visible. Among those red lines, about 15 lines pass through me. The other 15 are blocking my escape route.

However, it is easy to avoid if you can see the path.

It jumped forward in the direction with the fewest red lines.

Most of the arrows missed me, and now all that’s left are three red lines.

After responding by quickly implementing mana spheres in the left and right hands, one avoids it by turning its head to the left.

“You’re lucky!”

Again, an arrow of fire is created above Lucy’s head.

Arrows of fire flying one by one. There are fewer of them than before, but the speed is fast enough to pay attention to control.

However, that was not enough. Because my eyes saw the road.

After dodging the arrow by leaning slightly to the left, he slowly concentrated mana on the tip of his foot.

‘I see a gap…!’

20 fire arrows flying again. Although there were fewer than the first, the gap between the arrows was narrowed. It is an intention to prevent me from escaping.

Flying magic. It seems that there is no gap between magic, but it was clearly visible to my eyes. A gap a little wider than my shoulder width. You have to jump between them.

With the momentum obtained by exploding mana at the tip of her feet at once, she jumped into the gap in the red line.

Fire-!

Lucy’s eyes widened for a moment at the magical sight, then she bit his lip and used her magic again.

But the next magic, the next one, approached Lucy while avoiding the magic with minimal movement and defense.

“What, what!”

When Lucy and I were almost close, she implemented a barrier and tried to distance herself.

But before she could chant the magic, she reached in front of her.

Sniff
I put the dagger I had earlier on to her neck.

She could decide the battle with magic up close, but she didn’t want to attack Lucy.

And, performance is also an important law for overwhelming victory.

Dump-

Lucy sat down as if her legs were losing strength.

When I looked outside the arena, the students were staring at me in amazement.

Even the homeroom instructor, who was full of ambition, opened her eyes wide.

“Instructor, please judge the winner.”

“Uh, uh yes. Lee Ho-yeon, the winner. Come down, both of you.”

You won sparring, but you can’t hear the applause, and you guys don’t have a good attitude as a spectator.

Lucy is still stunned as she sits down.

『Quest complete! Lucy’s affection will increase by 3.』

★ Heroine status window

[Lucy]

– [ Favorite rating : 28 ]
– [ Sex drive : 5 ]
– [ Appetite : 40 ]
– [ Fatigue : 20 ]

Sensitivity increased by 3. But why 28? It was clearly 20 earlier, but it has risen by 8.

Surely you didn’t fall for the bad guy by overwhelmingly winning the real sparring?

She once approached the bruised Lucy and held out her hand.

“Lucy, are you okay?”

“Ha, I tried to take revenge, but it broke in reverse.”

“I don’t know what to say after winning, but it was really dangerous.”

Lucy stood up holding my hand and brushed his ass.

“Ha. So, what are those nice eyes?”

My eyes? What about my eyes?

I checked my face with the mirror function of the smart watch.

My eyes were shining distinctly with soft gold.
