The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter Chapter 27

EP.27 Couplet (1)

“I will start evaluating sparring from now on.”

The day finally came.

‘Duke Pavilion’, a stadium exclusively for first-year students of the Faculty of Magic. The inside of the spacious building was divided into four sections, and a stadium was installed in each space.

The first-year students in the Department of Magic were divided into four groups and each moved to a different stadium.

I was in group A. Among the many students, Lucena Ian, Mateo, and Tristan stood out. Kayana Amy would have gone to another group.

There was a judges’ table next to the stadium, and there were middle-aged wizards sitting side by side. They were all judges.

“The rules are simple. You win if you knock out your opponent or force him to surrender. However, please note that surrender is not possible for one minute after sparring begins. Due to the nature of performance evaluations, unexpected behavior is prohibited. “Keep in mind that you may be stopped by the test proctors.”

Professor Fernando was informing students of the performance evaluation contents along with his zombie-like assistant professor Marco and associate professor on the stadium.

“The only time you can run wild is during sparring. The best medical staff and priests are on standby, so please focus on showing your full skills. more.”

Professor Fernando finished his brief explanation and left the stadium.

Next, the associate professor called the students who would spar first.

Matteo Jordana and a student who was meeting him for the first time entered the stadium, and when the referee shouted ‘sparring begins’, the sparring began.

[Mateo Jordana]

Lv: 80

Race: Human

Attribute: Rock

Risk:

Psychology: [ I want to catch up with your skills. ]

Mateo had grown a lot while we hadn’t seen each other.

Huh, you’ve been working hard with me as your goal.

…I might get robbed soon.

‘What should I do, Tristan?’

When Tristan made me feel bad, I was determined to win no matter what.

As expected, it was an undeniable fact that he was behind him in terms of power.

Moreover, it is unclear how he refined himself.

In , the part where Ian Fairy Tail and Tristan Humphrey come into conflict is when familiars are summoned. At that time, Ian easily knocks down the naked Tristan and sends the cider flying. After that, Tristan also begins to learn defensive magic.

But I already provoked him during the class assignment evaluation. It wouldn’t be surprising if the guy had mastered defensive magic by now.

Even though Tristan is a vain guy, I have no choice but to acknowledge his offensive magic. If a guy like that can attack and defend well, there’s nothing I can do about him.

So, you have to defeat him with just one move. Otherwise, he will be defeated unconditionally.

“······?”

what?

Professor Fernando whispered something to the assistant professor and walked briskly out into the hallway.

His usual poker face seemed shaken…

‘Well, I guess it’s no big deal.’

It calmed the anxiety that rose up for a moment.

Nothing serious that could be called a crisis will happen in this sparring part.

I guess I ate something wrong and needed to go to the bathroom.

“Mateo Jordana, win!”

Mateo easily defeated his opponent with rock magic.

After sparring, the judges provided feedback.

Most people mentioned things to praise and things to improve about Mateo’s wit, but only one person gave a harsh criticism.

“That sucks. My proficiency in rock magic is very low. Rock is an element whose form is determined at once. Carving rock shapes that have been calculated for the future and sophisticated combat skills are essential. But, you only know how to engage in such violent combat? He had such skills that I don’t know why he was a Class B student. After all, I’m a commoner… .”

Oh, that and that. I know who it is.

A middle-aged man with bright red hair. A professor who is blatantly class discriminatory.

It was Professor Philip in charge of Class A.

[Philip Meltran]

Lv: 108

Race: Human

Attribute: Fire, Rock

Risk:

Psychology: [The commoner is displeased because he defeated the noble. ]

Although he has a high reputation, he is a professor with solid skills. Moreover, he treated nobles well, so if he were a nobleman, he was a professor who would have no reason to dislike him.

Mateo clenched his fists and trembled, but soon calmed down.

“Thank you for your feedback.”

Mateo bows his head and calmly accepts Professor Philip’s feedback. Rather, his obedient attitude seemed to make Professor Philip angry.

Mateo is determined to confidently prove his worth with his skills. To the extent Professor Philip stimulates it, it will be as unyielding as a rock.

“next! D Class Isaac, B Class Tristan Humphrey, forward!”

It’s my turn.

Phew. After taking a deep breath, I took a step forward.

When it was my turn, the stadium seemed even bigger. Perhaps because I was nervous, my heart was racing wildly.

I slowly went up the stairs to the stadium. On the other side, Tristan Humphrey, a vain blonde nobleman, was approaching with a grin.

We faced each other with a distance between us and the referee.

“······?”

It was then that the system window appeared before my eyes.

[A demon has been detected nearby.]

Hwiiiiiii─.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of wind in my head and felt as if a wick was being pulled upward.

I reflexively raised my head.

High ceilings. I felt a strong energy from beyond.

At the same time, information about the demons that were probably on the rooftop appeared before my eyes.

[Illusionary Lipa]

Lv: 130

Race: Demon

Attribute: darkness, fire

Risk: Highest

Psychology: [ He wants to kill all the students, including you. ]

Currently, it is the “Act 3, Scene 1, Couplet” part of … ?

‘How did this happen…? ?’

The final boss of the part of , the illusory Leafa.

He still has a long way to go… Why are you here already? ?

* * *

Under a clear sky, the wind was blowing on the rooftop of the Duke Building.

‘Imaginary Leafa’, a dwarf demon with gray-brown hair, was leaning on the railing and looking down at the floor.

There was a large magic circle engraved on the roof floor, emitting a soft purple light.

Leafa’s interests went beyond that.

Unique skill [Clear-eye] that allows you to see through nearby places. With the power of [clairvoyance], he was able to see beyond the rooftop and inside the building.

The stadium is divided into four areas. While each student was sparring, no one stood out yet.

[Is the saboteur still there?]

Leafa trailed off as if she was bored. It was a mischievous voice.

A saboteur who destroys demons. No one who could be assumed to be him has yet been seen. If he found that guy, he was going to have a death game with that guy and Ian Fairy Tail at the center.

The participants in the game are all first-year students in the Department of Magic at the Duke Building. The boring examiners are a bonus.

[Soon, soon.]

I trap them all under my magic and make Ian Fairy Tail and the saboteurs protect the people. Ah, this must be fun.

Leafa giggled. The anticipation was building up and making him more excited.

It was then.

Squeak─.

The rooftop door opened, and a cool-headed man appeared. Silver hair and blue eyes. It was Professor Fernando Frost.

Ripa’s eyes turned to Fernando.

“Are you a demon?”

Fernando narrowed his eyes and glared at Lipa sarcastically.

Leafa smiled from ear to ear. I really didn’t expect the professor to show up here.

[What’s going on, Professor? Ah, right now we are evaluating first-year students in the Department of Magic.]

“······.”

[Entering the Duke Hall was strictly prohibited! Ah, I forgot, I forgot! Sorry~.]

Leafa answered like a child. He doesn’t seem to be sorry at all.

“Say…?”

What surprised Fernando was that Ripa spoke like a very ordinary human being.

Demons are known to be inherently unintelligent and incapable of normal conversation.

[But what happened? Didn’t they only ruin the net inside the building? Ah, it looks like they hit the outside of the building this time? I overdid it~.]

“···Where did you pick that up?”

Usually, when tests or performance evaluations are conducted inside a building, Fernando sets up a net using telekinesis throughout the entire building. It is a kind of barrier. Therefore, if something goes wrong, Fernando can notice it right away.

However, only major groups within the academy know this fact. Faculty, four constellations, student council, etc.

“Is there someone who told me?”

[Cluck, click… .]

Leafa just laughed with her unique laugh and did not respond. As if she didn’t need to answer.

The meaning was clear.

‘You’re going to die here anyway’.

“What are your intentions?”

Fernando held out his right index finger toward Ripa. Water mana and ice mana flowed out in front of the finger and were compressed into a small, round shape, forming a bullet.

「Create water (water attribute, ★1)」 + 「Create ice (ice attribute, ★1)」 + 「Compression (neutral attribute, ★4)」

= 「Elemental Magic Bullet (Water+Ice Attribute)」

[Oh my gosh, calm down, calm down~. Let’s talk peacefully, let’s talk.]

“It sounds like that.”

The magic circle engraved on the floor of the rooftop was in the form of a tangle of jagged strokes here and there.

I had all the magic circles memorized. Therefore, Fernando deeply felt that this ominous and unidentifiable magic circle was extremely dangerous.

Magic power was not detected. Is it because it hasn’t been activated yet?

No, generally, a certain level of magical power should be felt right before the magic circle is activated… ?

[Ha, I didn’t want to be disturbed… . Still, you could be an appetizer!]

“······!”

Along with the demon’s soaring voice, the purple light emitted by the magic circle became more intense.

Then, a dark yet strange mana spread out in an instant, engulfing Leafa and Fernando at once.

[Enjoy yourselves, Fernando Frost.]

A purple circular space created on the rooftop, [Fictional Hell].

Natural mana floating in the air is sucked in, creating a new world disconnected from the truth and providence of this world.

Fernando was forcefully invited into that world.
