Chapter 464 – Academy’s Final Exam (6)

Chris Roanna, who seemed dissatisfied with the crushing defeat, came out of the center when she saw Vulcan walking towards her.

“I guess it’s hard for you too? Well, do your best.”

“Haha. The harder it is, the better.”

Vulcan immediately put a protective shield on his body and stood in front of Professor Jeon Yeon-nam.

Vulcan, wearing his own armor, slammed his fists together in front of him.

“Whew… I didn’t know I would lose like this.”

Chris Roanna, who came and sat down in the seat vacated by Vulcan, shook his head and said.

“Roanna, did you cut off the flow of mana itself?”

Asui Miyama asked, Chris Roanna nodded her head.

“Yes. I didn’t know how to use the method of severing the connection between me and the elemental ring I made for bombardment. It was my strongest skill, which I thought was a special move, but it was a skill with a weakness that I didn’t expect.”

Chris Roanna crossed his arms and tapped his forearms with his fingers.

It appears that he immediately fell into thinking about overcoming his weaknesses.

“I wonder how Vulcan will lose.”

Asui Miyama said in a voice full of laughter.

“The difference in level was so big that I didn’t know how to deal with it just now.”

“If the final exam is about finding weaknesses rather than winning, this might be okay.”

Miyama Asui spoke while lightly licking her lips with her tongue.

My left hand was tightly gripping the sheath of the katana, and I thought that if Vulcan hadn’t stood up first, we might have fought because of our turn.

When the story of the three of us watching ended, the professor held the sword in his hand again.

I thought that using sword steel as a weapon without a medium was similar to the Shadow Craft I use.

‘The power contained there must be higher there.’

Vulcan spread gray energy in front of the professor, who was holding a blue sword so clean it felt transparent.

When I focused my mana in my eyes and looked at Vulcan’s gray energy, I could see a cracked pattern, but the shape of the Hyunmu’s shell that I had seen during the fight before had become denser.

It seemed like the two were ready to spar when the gray force that had been spread wide was compressed to the point where it completely adhered to Vulcan’s body.

“I’ll go first!”

Kwaaaaang!

As soon as I stepped on the slope, a very loud sound rang out.

Vulcan approached the professor in an instant and swung his fist very quickly.

I thought that the ability to control attraction and repulsion was not used on purpose, but it occurred to me that they may be using it in a controlled manner that I don’t even notice.

Boom boom boom!

The professor blocked Vulcan’s two fists with minimal movement.

As Vulcan was large, the range of motion of his two fists was very wide, and he blocked it by moving his swords almost in place.

While Chris Roanna’s attack was blocked from the beginning, it felt like Vulcan’s attack was all blocked, but compared to us, who launched flashy attacks, the professor felt very restrained.

Kwakagak!

The professor, who had blocked most of the attacks, swung his sword sharply.

The Vulcan, who had been attacking with both fists in an immeasurable amount, saw an opening and was pushed back with his strength on top of the shield.

“This is so… Your defense is strong.”

“It was a fierce attack. I can give it a high score for its honed combat ability that barely utilized any skills.”

“Then let’s use it.”

Vulcan’s posture changed.

Instead of raising his fists up like he was boxing, he lowered his left hand and opened his fist slightly as if he was holding an egg.

A black sphere was created in the hand, and as the Vulcan moved around, Professor Jeon Yeon-nam was slightly dragged.

“Is that not a yin attribute, but an attractive force?”

Chris Roanna muttered after seeing the situation that had just happened.

“That’s right. It can even handle repulsive force.”

Asui Miyama seemed to be seeing a Vulcan using that power for the first time, so I answered.

“Vulcan has also become stronger.”

He used his left hand to restrict the professor’s movements, wrapped his right hand even darker, and began to extend the gray flag.

Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua!

Although the speed seemed to be lacking compared to the blows coming from both hands, it was clear that the powerful force extending from the fists was more powerful.

Unlike the two fists that easily blocked the attack, the professor was blocking Vulcan’s attack by properly spraying sword energy.

‘Professor, I think you’d like to see an attack using that black thing.’

At that time, I thought it looked very dangerous, so I used Shahemos as a shield to stop the attack.

The black sphere that seemed to be trapped in the left hand gradually grew in size, and more mana seemed to condense.

Vulcan, who was pouring out energy with his right arm, rotated his arm widely, and the bundle of energy rotated and flew towards the professor.

The professor swung his sword quickly to block the attack, and the sword shield neatly blocked the barrage of gray steel.

Coo!

At that moment, Vulcan moved with a loud sound.

It seemed like he was about to hit the professor with the black sphere he was holding in his left hand, but the professor stabbed the black sphere with his sword with its open shield.

Quagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!

The blue strong sword began to split into black spheres.

Because it was longer, the sword of strength seemed to be consumed faster, and the mana contained in the black sphere was also being consumed quickly.

When only the handle of the blue Kanggi sword remained and the black sphere disappeared, Vulcan and the professor immediately swung their remaining hands, and the professor had the upper hand in the fight.

Kwaaaaang!

Vulcan, who had been pushed back almost to the protective barrier due to great shock, stumbled while trying to get up.

“Wook… How did you block it from the front?”

“The attack using manpower was very good, but the way it was solved was disappointing. If it was just a matter of using force, there would be a more efficient way.”

Upon hearing those words, Vulcan frowned slightly.

Because the professor said that it was better when they used manpower to limit the professor’s movements while pouring out strong force.

Vulcan got up and came out of the sparring room, and Miyama Asui had just stood up and was walking towards the professor.

“I strengthened the power that was lacking.”

Vulcan said as he sat down next to me.

“Because I couldn’t defeat the ogre boss on the midterm exam?”

“Yes. At that time, I felt the lack of power I had.”

“At least when fighting people, the important thing is to hit the right attack. You’re not fighting an ogre right now, are you?”

Chris Roanna, who was listening to the two of us talking, said.

“That’s right. It’s important to use it differently depending on the other person.”

As Vulcan calmed down his anger with understanding, Asui Miyama, ready to draw his sword at any time, caught his eye.

“Even if you’re a professor, I don’t know if you can fight continuously.”

“You seem to have a lot of free time? I think it would be nice if I could take you down completely.”

As Chris Roanna said, I don’t know if I, who will be fighting for the fourth time, will be able to defeat the professor.

Miyama Asui, standing in front of the professor, closed her eyes and said.

“Professor, I’ll go.”

“I am also ready to receive the sword of Asui Miyama.”

At that moment, there was a flash of light.

Quagagagagagagagagagag!

The moment Asui Miyama’s katana was pulled out from a distance away from the professor, a very long sword blade flew towards the professor, and the professor blocked it with his sword.

Compared to the black sphere that Vulcan flew after preparing for a long time, the advantage seemed to be that almost no preparation was needed even if the power was low.

While the professor was blocking her sword energy, Asui Miyama approached with light steps and began swinging her sword very quickly.

At first glance, it didn’t seem much different from Vulcan hitting the professor with both fists, but it felt like the professor was being pushed back a little.

‘What’s different?’

There was no difference in attacking like a barrage, but there was a difference in the professor’s reaction.

It can’t be caused by using a sword, right? If I focused a little more, I could see the difference.

“Ha… Did you change that to the basic one?”

“Xian, can you see what Asui is doing?”

Chris Roanna, who is a wizard and has slightly less sharp eyes than me, asked me.

“In the past, you used a technique that blasted out a lot of sword energy in a short period of time and cut the opponent to pieces, right? You keep swinging it.”

“Asui also grew up in an instant.”

Is it because we have quest abilities? Or is it because we don’t see each other that often?

Sometimes, I felt that the growth of my classmates was truly extraordinary.

The professor began to deal with Asui Miyama’s sword energy by removing it and rebuilding it.

It was a coping method that seemed to consume a lot of mana, but the first one to use it was Asui Miyama.

“Ugh.”

She must have controlled her mana consumption by changing her special move to a basic one, but as she swung hard, all of her mana seemed to have been used up, and Asui Miyama stumbled greatly.

“The difference is in pure swordsmanship skills.”

“Whew… Whew… It’s strange that they keep making new weapons.”

After hearing that, Professor Jeon Yeonnam slightly shrugged her shoulders.

“There is one student in class Q who can do that, right?”

Then the professor looked at me, the last person left.

“Well… I guess so.”

Asui Miyama stretched her back to sheath the katana and frowned when she saw the blade of the katana.

Even from a distance, it looked like it was full of incontinence and would be difficult to use again if it wasn’t repaired.

“Lastly, can student Xian takes a break? It’s a bit overwhelming.”

“Oh.”

Our plan to give a blow to the professor who had lost his stamina after a series of matches went awry.
