Episode 73
“Is it okay to just fight like this? “Aren’t you hurt?”
Madelia lightly nodded in response to Cassena Page’s tense question.
“It doesn’t hurt. So there is nothing to worry about.”
There is no need to control strength in a confrontation test.
This is thanks to the barrier developed by Marhena, who specializes in hallucination-type magic. The cadets think they are ‘actually using magic,’ but in reality, they are only exchanging damageless blows while hallucinating.
‘But the pain still applies. There are many cadets who cry out for abstention after being subjected to painful magic.’
The opponent there was a later exponent of the Melev school, which focused on killing people. He said he wasn’t worried about Kassena, but he was a little worried.
“Okay, let’s go★”
Nora opened the grimoire she had hanging on her belt. Blue light seeps into the magic square drawn on the middle page, and a supernatural ability is revealed.
The shape of the magic square is a two-layer circle.
The engraved runes are Lu (漏) and Shun (循).
To explain, it gives ru (permeating) and pure (following) traits to 2-star water attribute magic.
“As expected, it came right away, killing water.”
Gertrude Panton, leaning her arms on the railing of the stands, whistled.
The Melev School is a school that focuses on water attribute magic among the four major elements. Just like the Panton family.
‘But even if the usage is different, it is very different.’
The Panton family combined the flow of water with mutu.
By utilizing the ‘flowing’ nature of water attribute magic, it has been developed to enable the use of a variety of magic in close and mid-distance battles, such as switching between attack and defense.
However, the key is not to forget the essence of water attribute magic.
‘But Melev… … .’
The dazzling magic circle shattered with a clear sound, erupting into countless streams of water that rushed towards Lane.
“Damage, Lane! “If you get hit with even one hit, it’s a fatal blow!”
Just as Christa urgently shouted, Melev completely distorted the essence of water attribute magic and used it.
That’s why the nickname “Salsu (殺水)” was given.
Seri, who felt puzzled after seeing such a stir in the hall, looked at Elin and asked for an explanation.
“If it is a one-sided water attribute magic, it can only be used as a check to push away or blow away that type of magic.”
“… … ?”
“If you hit it directly and send it crashing into the wall, you could inflict quite a bit of double damage. But that’s the limit.”
“Yes! “In the first place, water attribute is not the main combat magic.”
“But the Melevs are different.”
Lu (漏; permeating) is a representative rune among the vision runes of ideology and jurisprudence that Melev boasts.
“By making the magical power act as an internal force rather than an external force, when it reaches a certain point, the muscles and veins in the body are destroyed without form.”
In other words, the moment you take damage from water attribute magic, the water seeps deep into the point of impact, causing fatal damage to your body.
‘Oh, brother…’ … .’
As Seri swallowed dry saliva in worry, threads of light were blooming and tying together on Rain’s palm.
“Jorchen type?!”
“High-speed calculation of 2-star magic?”
“Huh, he really is an incredible guy.”
The voices of admiration pouring from the audience were drowned out by the sound of the marble flagstones that had been laid out in an orderly manner collapsing as the earth rose up like a mountain due to Lane’s magic.
“It’s no use♪”
The water and the earth collided, and at that moment, the audience’s eyes widened. Contrary to what I expected, a huge splash would explode and the water would scatter.
“W-Water…” … !”
“It seeps in… … ?!”
“Into the mud wall… … !”
That was it.
About a dozen streams of water seeped into the water barrier, penetrated the holes in the earthen wall at high speed, and ran toward the enemy on the other side.
To Lane Ludwig, who has no way of knowing what’s happening on the other side.
“Nora Redon, it looks like you’ve built up quite a bit of understanding of Lu.”
Head Professor Marhena muttered as if she was truly impressed. Deputy Professor Kyle nodded.
“Obviously, based on that understanding, the magic square was strengthened by adding a new mathematical formula. It’s a new idea to break through walls… … .”
Isn’t this how it ends?
In just a moment… … .
Elin Ludwig chuckled, as if teasing the whispering crowd.
“You remember who Nora is, but you seem to have forgotten who we are.”
Can’t see because it’s blocked by a wall?
You are welcome.
We are Ludwig. They are a clan of wizards called stealing wizards. Our eyes see through all powers. And my nephew, a genius among geniuses, already has those eyes at that age.
“Bel Sidious.”
Rain’s eyes burn red, and the pupil in the middle of them blooms into a silver-white death. In this red-colored vision, all things are interpreted as numbers and transmitted directly to the mind.
“Well, those eyes… … ?!”
“It is the blood limit of the Ludwig family… … !”
“That’s ridiculous, you’re not sixteen anymore…” … ?!”
Scalzi Ludwig, a wizard who represents the old generation along with Marhena, created Bel Sidious when he was seventeen.
His son, Kavan, is eighteen, and his daughter, Elin, is twenty-one.
Among these, Elin may seem to be behind, but she was also one of the people who enlightened kinship limits quite quickly in the family’s history.
Didn’t the genius talents shown by the family turn the magic world upside down and raise the status of the Ludwig family to the limit?
‘As expected, I was making a fool of myself.’

Lane withdrew the mana that maintained his magic. The next moment, the huge earthen wall collapsed, along with the water vein penetrating inside.
And I just ran.
Running at full speed through the clouds of dust rising as a reverberation of the earth sinking… … . Meanwhile, a cynicism appeared on Nora Redon’s lips.
‘Hehehe, I knew you were going to try to close the distance.’
It would be a mistake to think that breaking the wall of conversion made my attack null and void. I pulled it out of the wall.
“The shape of the magic square is a two-layer circle, and the runes carved are Lu (漏) and San (散)♬”
Thousands of water droplets spread out as if surrounding Nora. Logan, who was watching the game, licked his upper lip.
“Um, such a dirty move… … !”
There is a saying that in a duel, criticizing your opponent is a compliment.
It wasn’t wrong.
As Chaihak, who specializes in close combat, was a late exponent, he was given such high praise because he could clearly see how elaborate and perfect Nora’s moves were.
“That’s not just a spray of water droplets.”
“Yeah, it’s no different than spraying caltrops!”
“Caltrops can only be sprinkled on the ground, but that… … “It even blocks the air!”
Nora Redon, I am afraid of the future. When that guy’s skills reach their peak, will there be a wizard who would dare to deal with him?
“So Ludwig, what is Confucius doing now?!”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Lane Ludwig, who had disappeared into the dust. and… … The next moment, the protagonist came out.
“Just a mindless assault?”
“You don’t know that?”
“No, you can’t see me as Bel Sidious?”
But those curious murmurs were immediately buried. By the sighs that come from the embarrassment of having to believe your eyes.
“W-what… … ?!”
“That can’t be… … !”
“Osarius style battalion… … ?!”
At first glance, it seemed like a reckless rush. But if you look closely, it wasn’t.
The water droplets were being broken by the staff that was twisting back and forth like a snake in Raine’s hand.
Only the things you need.
Only the droplets on the shortest path needed to reach Nora Redon. A staff with tree rings burning blue with magic.
“Huh, attack head on… … !”
Chaihak’s vice dean’s eyes lit up. If that happens, what Nora Redon did will become self-destructive.
Widespread water droplets can obviously block a wide area. However, it is the providence of nature that the wider it becomes, the thinner it becomes.
I thought Nora Redon had countered Ludwig’s move, but it turned out that Lane Ludwig had completely suppressed Nora’s move!
“S-Master, that is…” … !”
A girl who was watching the game in the stands wearing the school’s signature hat pulled her hat into her arms and looked up at the middle-aged man sitting next to her.
“Yes, I think that’s right. It’s hard to believe, but… … .”
They are the Osarius school representing the north.
The so-called descendants of Lin, who have left outstanding achievements in the magic world even after being promoted to the Great Sect through the feats of Archmage Lin.
The hats and stone hats they wore showed respect for Rin. so that.
“But something is different. “Master told you not to be so aggressive, right?!”
It was like that. The disciples of Osarius, who can be said to be the original, cannot go on the offensive in such a preposterous manner. because.
“If you try to induce a close fight for no reason, you can easily be counterattacked by the opponent who reads your thoughts. As if Nora Lethan had just made a move that could only be described as perfect.”
In a battlefield where there is only a moment to think and the field of view is extremely narrow, if you recklessly try to break through that path, you will end up in the netherworld.
Therefore, the Osarius school’s martial arts has been regarded as a passive means of defense. It’s not an active means of attack like that.
‘But that guy is different.’
Only that guy is different.
We have our own martial arts, and on top of that, we have the ‘strongest eyes’ to complement it.
If that happens, there will be no flaws.
‘That makes me even more unbelievable… … .’
You can tell just by looking at it for just one moment. There is nothing superfluous about Lane Ludwig’s martial arts skills. That is proof that it has reached its extreme level.
‘Where, from whom, and how did you learn Lin’s martial arts skills to reach that level?’
The Osarius School is not a school that recruits students and teaches magic like the other Eight Great Schools.
‘Our school has a one-to-one priest system like witches, with each teacher teaching only one disciple?’
While Osarius’ students were wondering such questions, the game in the stadium was reaching its climax.
The moment when Lane Ludwig, who had pierced the wall of water droplets head-on and narrowed the distance to death, hit the ground with all his might.
This was the moment when Nora Redon calmly opened the grimoire to the last page and injected magical energy into the page.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
This is the scene people thought they saw.
The last magic Nora deployed was a 3-star water attribute magic. A water barrier surrounds Nora, blocking all approaching enemy attacks and destroying all of the fascia inside.
Before the staff that Raine had thrown out reached Nora’s windpipe, Raine’s body was caught in the barrier and appeared to be defeated.
But no.
The moment I thought that, the wall of water that swept over Lane’s body broke into countless particles of light and disappeared without a trace.
“What?”
“what?”
“What happened?”
Elin Ludwig, one of the few people in the room who knew the answer, nodded to Brim with a satisfied smile.
“Did you see what I wrote, sister?”
Brim Ludwig nodded and clapped his son’s back. Seri, who didn’t know what to say, ran away.
“What is it, aunt? “What happened?”
“Ugh, you pathetic nephew! Rain completely broke the arrogance of those Melevs because of our blood kinship limit! “By Belle Curious!”
“By Belle Curious?!”
Elin shrugged her shoulders proudly.
It’s really amazing.
I heard from my father that it’s not just about using your eyes, but that it’s possible to destroy the other person’s magic only if you can reverse and correct it in an instant.
‘As a result of what I’m watching now with Bel Sidious, I’m saying that Melev’s magic disappeared the moment it was cast.’
A smile born of pride appeared on Elin’s face.
Wow, really.
He’s such a pathetic nephew, so much.
‘That’s why I can’t take my eyes off it.’
When everything was over, Lane’s baton stopped right in front of Nora’s eyes. Deputy Professor Kyle, who was in charge of overseeing the game and refereeing, raised his hand.
[First match, match over! Winner, Lane Ludwig!]
A moment of silence passed through the audience as they blinked their eyes, followed by explosive cheers and applause.
“Waaah!”
“Crazy, what was that just now?”
“This is a competition for 16-year-olds?”
Logan also jumped up, clenching his fists.
“Confucius, it’s nice!!!”
When I felt my friend Ilin and the other executioners and priests looking at me as if I was dumbfounded, I cleared my throat and sat back down in my seat.
“This is just following the Grand Master’s orders! “I have to act like this so that the genius Confucius won’t suspect me!”
Chaihak’s students then looked at Logan blankly and then patted him on the back, wiping away tears of emotion.
“Wow, I believed it!”
“Am, after all, our review index is different!”
“Yes, not only the muscles but also the acting is so excellent!”
Meanwhile, Chaihak’s Vice Dean turned to Professor Owen and nodded. He meant that he understood the letter about Lane that Owen had sent to the school.
“No wonder Logan lost. But I have a question. “What on earth broke Nora’s barrier?”
Nora, who knew the answer, lost strength in her legs and collapsed.
Those silver-white, seven-pointed stars that rotate, the intimidating feeling I felt when I met those two eyes… … That feeling of inexplicable insight throbbing through her brain… … .
Of course, there was no such thing as collapsing. Because Lane stretched out his hand and supported him.
“It’s really promising, isn’t it? “It’s definitely worth shouting about.”
“… … ?”
“But the opponent was bad. The second magic you used, next time, try only spraying it 180 degrees in front of you instead of 360 degrees. Because it will be more threatening.”
For some reason, Lane’s words felt like advice from a heavenly senior rather than a typical humiliation of winners.
‘why… … ?’
I was taught that I should never lose. At least in magic combat. That’s the meaning of existence, the Melev School cannot exist if it is defeated.
But I lost.
In the past, the moment I lost, I would have collapsed both physically and mentally in despair, but now, why… … ?
“… … .”
Meanwhile, Valencidis, who was leaning against the south gate passage and watched the match from beginning to end, had a complicated look in his eyes.
‘Belle Queer at the age of sixteen. ‘It is certain that he is a dangerous person whose potential is unknown.’
Since it is likely to become an obstacle to Tureina’s plan, should we let Rivadin handle it? Otherwise… … .
