Chapter 70 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (7)

There were five people Naen brought.

Ordinary students at a global academy that I have never seen before.

“Ah. Didn’t you say Seoyeon was her boyfriend?”

A woman with black hair spoke next.

She was a little smaller than Seoyeon and had a strong cute vibe.

“Yes. We fell off a bit in the first semester, but we resumed our relationship because it was vacation.”

“Really? I’m Biyeonhwa. You’re Yusian, right?”

Biyeonhwa approached me and extended her hand, and I returned the handshake.

“Yes. It’s Yoo Sian.”

As I lightly shook it up and down, another man approached me.

Although not on the same level as Vulcan Ludric, he was a sufficiently large man.

He looked quite good-natured, but I felt like he was in charge of the vanguard.

“I should have said it first. Yeonhwa said it first. I am Lake Xylan, a third year student. I am your senior, like the red-haired Pael Enri over there.”

“This is Yu Xian. It’s my first time meeting you, senior.”

I also shook hands with senior Lake Xilan, but the three people, including senior Pael Enri, didn’t seem to have any intention of approaching.

It seems like these three people were incited by the person who hasn’t arrived yet.

“Xylan, wouldn’t it be better not to give such attention to Seoyeon, but Yusian needs verification, right? We don’t take promising candidates to the advanced dungeon for no reason.”

“Keeping appointments on time and not breaking promises are also important virtues.”

“What. Um… When is that guy coming?”

Senior Pael Enrica changed the topic after hearing senior Lake Xilan’s words.

Are the other two also first years? It seemed like a third-year senior was leading the first-year students.

No matter how strong I think Naen is, he doesn’t have the ability to lead an advanced dungeon.

Senior Lake Xilan spoke in an awkward atmosphere.

“It might take a while. Why don’t we sit down and rest? Let’s sit down.”

As I was about to sit down, a man who appeared to be my opponent came.

“I was a little late because I called you suddenly.”

“Even if you called me suddenly, your seniors were there first, Koki.”

Senior Pael Enrica spoke to Corky, a thin man with moderately grown golden hair.

“Senior Enrica and Senior Xylan are probably the most sincere. Are you Yusian, who is next to Seoyeon Kim?”

When I heard the voice calling me, I got up and approached.

“Yes. I am Yoo Sian. I heard you gave up your seat. What kind of wind is blowing?”

“Ah. I think it would be better for me to go rather than you, who is said to be the weakest among our first-year students. Seniors are also with us, so even if Naen recommended it, we shouldn’t go to the advanced dungeon with a lot of luggage, right? What do you think of our first-year students?”

He will never say that he is going because the party he was planning to go to broke up.

“Okay, all I have to do is prove that I’m not a burden?”

“It would be better if you could beat me, but it would be impossible. I am a man who knows that level of manners too?”

I didn’t really feel like continuing the conversation with this slightly annoying guy, but fortunately senior Xylan stepped forward.

“I guess that’s enough to fight the nerves? Kasori Koki, Yu Xian. How about talking with force like a man?”

“Yes. Senior Xylan.”

Koki Kasori answered Senior Xylan with a slight smile.

“I think that would be good for me too.”

“But Kasori. You didn’t bring any equipment?”

“If it’s sparring, there will be a shield, and I’ll use it as a sparring weapon.”

“Yusian, I think that would be a good idea for you too. It would be better to change your armor and equipment to sparring purposes.”

“I will do so.”

After handing the entire sword sheath to Seoyeon, he took off his armor and placed it nearby.

And like Kasori Koki, who holds a sparring dagger, he moved to the center holding a sparring sword.

“From what I heard from Naen, I know that Yusian can’t use skills. Can Kasori be that considerate?”

“If you don’t want me to be able to use my skills even in advanced dungeons, then so be it.”

“Then I have nothing to say. Just figure it out.”

It felt like a protective shield surrounded her body, as if Senior Lake Xilan had manipulated the device.

“Okay, let’s start.”

The moment the signal to start was received, Koki Kasori came running.

It doesn’t seem like the skill was used, but it was definitely fast.

The dagger held backwards was swung wide with rotational force, and it was a trajectory that could be blocked even without the use of insight.

Kang!

“Oh? You blocked it?”

Although it was an attack that didn’t use any skills, Koki Kasori probably didn’t know that it could be blocked so easily. After attacking, he retreated and said.

“It’s such an obvious trajectory that we can’t stop it.”

“Really? Even the weakest member of the Academy can do that much.”

It may be the lowest score in the first semester, but I don’t think it’s the worst at the academy.

While we were talking for a moment, the right to attack was taken away once again.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

It seemed like he was swinging the dagger half-heartedly, but there was quite a bit of power in each attack.

Up to this point, I was able to handle it with enough calmness.

And here, if I use insight.

The dagger’s trajectory was clearly visible.

Seokgeuk

I stepped back and cut down, and my right arm, which was holding the dagger, was clearly cut.

“Huh?”

Kasori Koki looked down at his right arm, which had been cut but was unscathed due to his shield.

When I took advantage of that moment and stabbed the sword into her chest, she moved back faster than me.

“Have you been hiding your powers? What is it?”

“People forgot I was in class Q.”

“So you’re saying it’s starting to grow now? It’s still slow though!”

At that moment, a little mana erupted from Kasori Koki’s body, and the mana’s nature seemed to have changed immediately, as if it were sparking with electricity.

Looking at the biography, I remember getting hit by Gam Shin-heung during the sparring exam and being thrown out.

However, the density of electricity emitted by that Kasori Koki was so weak that it could not be compared to that of Gamsinheung.

Is it just a matter of using mana to make your body faster?

As if I was not mistaken, the attack speed became faster.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang!

Using his calmness and insight as much as possible, he blocks attacks and looks for gaps, but due to his increased speed, gaps only appear for a short period of time.

Seokgeuk

“Yes! It has to be like this! There’s a difference between not being able to use a skill and not using it!”

I gave up my left arm slightly due to the faster attack.

As the speed increases, the power increases, but it does not mean that you press down with force.

In that case, is it better for me to respond with speed?

Kaaaaang!

When I used my insight to strike the dagger down, it flexibly escaped and moved behind me.

‘It’s so damn fast.’

I took advantage of the weapon I had and swung roughly.

Kaang!

After blocking my sword with a dagger.

Crackling.

I threw out a fist filled with electricity with my left hand.

Per word

I received a much stronger shock than when I was cut with a dagger.

I hope this doesn’t have a protective shield.

“Now let’s go properly.”

“Come and see.”

Kang perook

His movements became very fast, and he swung his dagger continuously to create an opening, and began to mix in his fists so fast that it was difficult to react even if he used insight.

In some ways, this is no different from a passive skill, but is there such a difference?

Slowly, slowly, slowly

The moment I lost my concentration, I had no choice but to be attacked in succession.

Even if you swing the sword once and create a distance, it narrows in an instant.

“You’re weak! Yes! You may not be the weakest in the academy, but you’re weaker than I!”

What can I do now?

I continue to use calmness and insight.

Even if you use vision to read the trajectory of the attack, your body just cannot react.

Moreover, Shadow Armor can only be used as a shield now.

Although it is not strong, Shadow Craft’s linkage is essential to prevent the shield from being depleted by continuous attacks.

Then… All that’s left is to give the mana I have a negative attribute.

I don’t know what effect it will have, but there’s nothing else I can do.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

Concentrate on converting mana into sonic mana while parrying attacks.

A shallow attack cuts my arm and a fist hits my shoulder or side, but I can withstand it.

Most of the mana in the body was changed to negative mana.

Ka-ah-ang!

So what can we do now?

Is it possible to do it quickly by wrapping it around your body like that?

No. I tried it a few times, but it didn’t have that effect.

Per-a-a-billion!

The most basic thing is to make a sword?

The master of Shadow Mastery is Cian Raven. However, he was the person that the crazy family head had his eye on, who went beyond the sword technique and created a pseudo-sword gang from the beginning.

Ka-ah-ang!

Lee Sian… ? As the protective shield disappeared and the shock continued to accumulate in my body, the memories of that time came to mind.

When the evolved zombie is defeated by me and runs away, when the savior’s effect ends and my mental power is completely depleted.

When you have to deal the final blow to an evolved zombie.

“Ah.”

I used to use aurors.

But I don’t know how to wear an aura.

I slowly felt my left hand slowly approaching me with electricity that was difficult to counter with a sword in one hand.

I’m not exactly sure how to put aura on a weapon, but I know another way.

Shadow Craft.

I parried the fist with a dagger made from the shadow that appeared in my left hand.

Go go go!

As the lightning and shadow collided, a large amount of mana was consumed.

However, it was Koki Kasori who clearly suffered damage.

“Skill?”

‘Actually, I was still using it.’

After all, being visible was important.

The reason I keep hearing that I’m the weakest at the academy even during vacation is because I haven’t been able to show many people that I’ve gotten stronger yet.

Thanks to you, it’s nice that you let your guard down when dealing with me, but now I get a little annoyed when I hear nicknames that don’t fit.

I threw away the sword I was holding in my right hand on the floor and used Shadow Craft to create a sword with condensed shadows.

Let’s make up for the lack of speed with this sword, which feels almost weightless.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

As I blocked and cut down attacks, I felt Kasori Koki’s speed slowing down.

The mana in your body is disappearing quickly?

When the electric mana that had enveloped his body disappeared, Koki Kasori, who had continued to hand over the initiative to me and cut through the shield, collapsed to the floor and I aimed my sword at his neck.

‘If the effect of negative mana is to quickly drain the opponent’s mana, then it is not a good match.’

It may have been difficult to deal with a type that emits a strong burst of energy for a moment, but the type that wraps around was a good enemy for me to deal with.

“Enrica, do you think your skills have been proven at this level? I’m going to the dungeon tomorrow, so let’s give it a rest.”

When senior Lake Xilan spoke, senior Pael Enrica answered.

“Well. The weakest in the academy was a rumor. It’s not normal, but the person who makes the Auror Blade is the weakest in the first year. How much did you raise your level to the first year?”

I got rid of the weapon made of shadows and walked to Seoyeon with the sparring sword I had left on the floor.

Seoyeon said as she put her hands in front of her chest and looked at me intently.

“Seoyeon, I’m sick.”

“Ah! I’ll heal you!”
