Chapter 252 – It’s Not Like That…(5)

The phoenix, which greatly inflated the flames that wrapped around its body, flew quickly.

From the wildly beating wings, hot air and blazing feathers shot toward the ground, making it difficult to breathe.

“Eh, run away!”
“Such magic… I’ve never heard of it!”
“No matter how hard they do it in Dalian?!”

Of course!

It’s one of the few opportunities to harass Iona from my side, how can I put up with this!

I will destroy it with all my might!

Did my fighting spirit come through? The frightened students of the Faculty of Engineering began to scatter in all directions.

“You! Where are you going! Scattering is more dangerous!”

Alberto hurriedly stopped the guys from leaving the ranks, but it didn’t have much effect on the guys who were already overwhelmed.

By the way, the first to run away was Vincent, who had been touring the practice dungeon together the other day. Looks like the coward attribute hasn’t been fixed yet.

Giggling inwardly, he sent the fire phoenix straight to the Faculty of Magic.

“Where else did you get this strange magic…”
“Isn’t that the real Phoenix?”
“Is that important now?! Quickly use protection magic!”

It actively throws its body, sometimes spewing fire from its mouth to disturb the rear.

In response, the students of the Faculty of Magic gritted their teeth and countered by minimizing damage with magic such as Ice Wall or Water Dome.

Huh. You’re doing great. If useless checks or support come in, it will be a bit annoying, so I need to stay like that for a while.

With a hearty smile, he kicked the ground towards the scattered guys from the Knights Faculty.

What they are aiming for is a student with a spear who is unable to do this or that. There’s no particular reason, it’s just because it’s the closest.

“Ha!”

I don’t have enough time to use Blood Force. In the future, I might be able to cast multiple fire phoenixes or use other magic freely, but that’s not the case now.

Wouldn’t it be difficult to do low-level magic no matter how hard you squeezed? Basic magic seems to work somehow.

Even though it moves like it’s really alive, it feels like my head will explode because I’m actually controlling it myself.

However, my pure physical specs right now are equivalent to those of the 3rd and 4th year of the Faculty of Engineering. It probably won’t be as good against a freshman who has been strengthened with an aura.

In fact, the spearman opened his eyes wide and hurriedly prepared for defense, as if surprised by my speed.

The guy who naturally missed the staff’s trajectory by taking his left foot half a step back. Taking advantage of the break in my posture, I lift the spear.

Whoo!

Hoecheon. A common skill among long-armed weapons that rotates the weapon backwards and strikes enemies at close range from below.

It’s a skill you know. He brought a dagger to the pit of the stomach.

Card win.

The sound of blades scraping against the wooden spearhead echoes loudly.

Hmm. I have to do it too

The only inconvenience is that I don’t understand why he used Hoecheon there.

Hoecheon is good because it can be used immediately, but it is a technique that reveals gaps if it is blocked or misses.

It’s an instant skill with almost no first deal, but it would be convenient to think of it as having some second deal.

So, it would be more useful to use it to block the opponent’s counterattack when going on the offensive, rather than using it for normal defense…

Ah, if I say something like this again, will the atmosphere get colder?

No My image has been tarnished a long time ago. Rumors are spreading enough to make Iona openly raid.

It’s fortunate that it’s not the same malicious content as in the first semester.

However, if you can’t avoid it, you should enjoy it. Wouldn’t it be okay to just admonish you to the fullest about what has happened?

She smiled at the guy who opened her eyes wide, as if she didn’t know it would be blocked.

“Window. I don’t write like that.”

“What… ?”

Did you think you were making fun of yourself? His face flushed red, and he violently swung his spear.

Rachalgyeok, Samyeonsal, and Gwancheon leading from the blocked Hoecheon.

A large horizontal swing with a wide distance, a thrust aiming at three vital points in a row, and a mid-center thrust.

I understand your intentions. It must be that he wants to increase his distance, break his stance, and finish it with certainty. But.

“You are too honest.”

Wouldn’t it be too faithful to stick to the basics of a spear that uses distance as an advantage to attack one-sidedly? It’s hard to get caught when the intention is this clear.

I easily dodged or hit the spear that flew along the same trajectory as my memory, and put the dagger into my inventory for a while.

Instead, he raised the staff with both hands. As if holding a short spear.

The face of the opponent who saw me becomes strange. Maybe it’s because of his posture.

In the meantime, I’ve grown very little, but before I knew it, my weapon skill was a C+ rank.

This is enough for the owner of ordinary talent to have trained for about 10 years in an ordinary way since he was young.

Of course, it would be less than the student in front of me who has excellent talent, receives a lot of support, and focuses on spearmanship… At most, it’s a step or two difference. That much is enough to cover.

“Huh!”

He breathed in for a moment and threw the staff out at once.

Guancheon made by breaking in. It’s obvious, but it was easily blocked. Well, it can’t be helped because the related attribute is a normal weapon skill (C+).

However, the next attack will be a little different.

Visor! Chae Chaeng!

Crashes in succession. The spearman looked at my staff with a strange expression.

“… What the hell is that?”

“Fake. And drive without stopping.”

To put it a little more clearly, it is a technique that actively utilizes some skills that chew the later deal to minimize the deal loss.

Unfortunately, it was not possible in this world, but this is possible.

Although it is difficult to use in boss battles where there is a lot of running around, it is quite useful in small mob battles or instant explosions.

What… It is said that the system is being calibrated with weapon skills, but there is no professional characteristic at all, so it is just imitating, but it cannot produce proper power.

The same goes for daggers. I’ve used it a lot, so I can handle it better than other weapons, but it’s not as good as low-level magic.

Even after that, I exchanged weapons with the spearman several times.

Since there is a basic difference in skill, I could have kicked my staff out whenever I wanted, but he was busy concentrating on getting along with me as if he was possessed by something.

It looks like he’s trying to learn something more from me. This is a very exemplary newbie attitude.

I’d like to show a little more combos to this wonderful mite, but… Unfortunately, Alberto was running all at once with other students who had come to their senses.

I should end it at this point.

Tuong!

The clumsy follow-up was blocked in the middle. Unlike before, it was an ordinary attack with no aim and no follow-up.

While the spearman blinked his eyes in wonder.

“Shock!”

The image created from a corner of the image turns into a pale flash and paralyzes him.

“Uh, why…”

“Did you forget? I am originally a wizard.”

Also. Even if you don’t know low-level magic, you can use basic magic without any problems. That’s enough.

I nodded inwardly and slashed the top of the head of the guy who was looking at me with eyes full of betrayal.

“Slip!”

Kang!

The guy who passed out after being hit by my slip (physical). As soon as he loses consciousness, Iona, who has been watching from afar, retrieves it with her magic.

Good. Now let’s move on to the next one.

Alberto stretched out his sword aiming for my blind spot while making a shocked expression. He giggled as he countered the fierce attack with a staff holding it short.

“Knife. I don’t write like that!”

***

“Master, you look excited.”

“So, you’ve been fighting mainly against opponents stronger than you, right? And if you can run wild like this… I think I would have been excited too.”

Carla murmured blankly, and Elisha answered dryly, touching her curled hair like a bun.

The attitudes of the two were opposite, but the direction of their eyes was the same.

Battlefield. It was because he was chasing Yandel, who was dealing with several students from the Faculty of Engineering at the same time in the center.

It’s not enough to easily block the opponent’s attacks as if he can see them all, Yandel mimics the same weapon and even adds, ‘That’s not how you do it.’

It was a really unlucky look, but it seemed a little different to Karla. The corners of her mouth had been fussing since before.

“And. Master, you are really great. How do you know how to handle all of those weapons? Aren’t you just good at magic?”

“Well. It seems to me that I know how to handle it, but I don’t think it’s comparable to the Knights Faculty. … Those unpredictable moves are certainly surprising.”

One more. After being ridiculed by Yandel, more and more students were drawn to Iona’s magic with a vain expression.

With this, there are already five members of the Knights Faculty. There were also two dropouts from the Faculty of Magic, where Fire Phoenix was rampaging.

On the other hand, Yandel has not yet completely broken the shield he put on at the beginning.

It seems that the Knights Faculty went in front of her wheel, aiming at the consumption of her physical strength and magical power…

Thanks to the protection of the sun god, the rate at which stamina is recovered is faster than the rate at which it is consumed, and there is still a long time left before the magic power reaches the bottom.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve noticed yet.”

“I guess I didn’t notice. I was fooled. Because Yandel is now deliberately pretending to be exhausted and leading her game. Anyway. In the strange part, it is a subject without common sense, but this is like a ghost.”

“… Will this be the same?”

“Yes. She must have been thoroughly accustomed to it since she was a child. So that I can fight in any situation.”

A slightly sober atmosphere. Carla and Elisha’s gazes are a little pity.

So today, while the misunderstanding is deep. There was also a small commotion on the faculty side.

“Professor Iona! Just now! Is that what Professor Iona just taught you? It seems that defense has been neglected too much, but I don’t think the momentary breakthrough power can even be compared with the previous one…”

“Ugh! Uh huh! Call me professor! Where is the sky-like gift! And what I taught is just how to fight. I didn’t teach you weapons like that.”

“It’s all the same professor now, how long will you be talking about that? If I had known you were as talented as him, I would have just taught you.”

Jason let out a deep sigh as if it was a waste.

The other day, when Yandel went to learn how to fight in close combat with Jason, she regrets sending him back, saying that Iona would teach him better than he did.

Seeing that blatant appearance, Iona smiled and shook her head.

“Why? Why? Do you like it? Won’t you give it? Are the Yandel students mine? Ebebebeb~”

“It’s like eating at night and what… Anyway, it would be a lie if I didn’t like it. But didn’t you say that you have a greater talent for magic than martial arts?”

“That’s right. If you were a Yandel student, you would have done great even if you grabbed the sword… It wouldn’t have been as fast as it is now.”

To the opponent who hesitated as if he was excited, ‘I roughly understood your level. It made me want to die because it was trivial.’ Yandel said the same thing.

Iona licked her lips at Yandel’s appearance, whether it was cool or embarrassing.

“At this rate, the Yandel students will easily win. … Let’s see. How would you like to give the prize?”

Seeing this, Jason’s eyes trembled.

There was something… !

I know that Iona and Yandel are official partners. I also know that the relationship between them is not serious.

But… Is this really the right thing to do?

Are you a professor and a student? 372 years old and 20 years old? Really? Are you okay?

“…”

Of course, Jason didn’t have the courage to say it himself. No matter what anyone says, Iona was a bigwig who was no different from the academy’s second-in-command.

Still, he didn’t want to be fired from his job. Especially since her wife recently became pregnant with their third child.

‘Ah, I want to go home and see my wife.’

Jason rubbed the ring on his ring finger with a tearful grin.

The ring gleamed like the crown of his head.
