“Kunta, I have a question. So how do we win this battle? Do we just have to kill everyone?”
“… Are you asking that now?”
“Mr. Barbarian, you’re quite the troublemaker, hahaha!”
“??”
Kunta, who was watching the war game from the stands, blinked innocently.
Even now, he would like to fight with the sprouts, but unfortunately, this battlefield was not for him.
So, he was the one who quietly watched the warriors fight, but he still didn’t quite understand this game.
But in reality, it wasn’t something to just ignore or curse at him.
That would be the case, since he is not yet familiar with the official language.
It’s probably their fault, Kunta’s only acquaintances, for never once did they give a friendly explanation of what a war game is to someone who doesn’t even know what it is.
“Let me explain now: killing is prohibited in war games.”
“It’s war?”
“Because it’s a virtual war. If people die, it’s no longer a ‘virtual’ war. So there shouldn’t be any deaths.”
“Hmm, I don’t understand, but I understand Kunta.”
“This guy is the type that should never participate in war games.”
Garland chuckled, saying that he was a dangerous guy, and Arno continued speaking with silent agreement.
“The combat style of war games is always different. Sometimes it’s a siege, sometimes it’s a brute force battle. But today, it’s very simple.”
“What?”
“Capture the flag. In other words, defending the general until the end is the fundamental rule of this game.”
“Oh, so that’s why everyone was holding those flags? I thought they were Kunta toys.”
“It’s definitely not a joke, though.”
Gooooo…!
“-It must be sincere from a fighting perspective.”
As soon as Garland finished speaking, flames erupted toward the sprouts.
* * *
Seventeen wizards.
The number excludes Irene Windler and the social misfits who skip the magic classes.
In effect, you could say that those seventeen people were leading the Department of Magic.
However, we should not ignore them just because the numbers are small.
Because each and every wizard is an individual who possesses a dangerous power.
A skilled high-ranking wizard is not without reason called a strategic weapon that can change the course of battle with just his or her own power.
It means that they are also talented people who may be called something in the future.
And as if boasting of this potential.
Phew!
A huge air current was created.
The catalyst was telekinesis.
With telekinesis as its core, wind rushes around it.
The strong wind soon clumped together into a cloud of oxygen, and in an instant.
“[Burning, hotter, more destructive].”
In an instant, flames erupted.
Spell.
It may sound like a pun, but the words of the wizard who created the world of spells are not just a pun, but are called spells.
And the longer the length of such a spell, the more powerful it becomes.
Instead, the casting time of an order is determined solely by the individual’s talent, magical power reserves, and mental strength.
However, there are now seventeen wizards gathered here.
Although their individual abilities may be inferior to those of Irene Windler, as a group, the wizards can perform magic that even Irene Windler could not perform.
Whoosh whoosh!
A huge flame.
It is so huge that just looking at it will make your stomach churn.
How much power does that thing have?
“Let’s finish it in one breath. That’s the only mercy we can give.”
“Yes. That’s right, Assistant Professor.”
Although he is not as arrogant as Odwall, the wizard race fundamentally views those who cannot use magic as infinitely weak.
If their professors considered the magically incapable to be insects or filthy things, they simply viewed those without magical powers as creatures like cats or dogs.
Beyond the level of being different in race, they are fragile beings that need to be protected.
That’s why they are merciful.
Even in a ‘determined match’, he is approaching it with sincerity.
“[Shoot].”
So, with courtesy and compassion, they agreed to end this fight once and for all, sincerely.
Deliver a blow that will completely burn away their fighting spirit.
This was their mercy and agreement.
Hwaaaa-!
A fireball the size of a rock was shot out like that.
The fireballs shot out like catapults are not just fireballs, but fireballs filled with spells.
There is no way for them to stop it.
‘It’s over.’
Assistant Wizard Ron knew the match was over the moment the fireball flew.
I won’t die.
If you have any thoughts, it would be common sense to avoid them… .
“Huh? What are they doing now?”
“Why aren’t you harmed?”
“!!?”
But the wizards were astonished.
they.
“──.”
Because I was facing the fire flying straight at me without even a hint of hesitation or dodging.
The wizards knew that the situation was strange and tried to cancel the magic, but their skills were not yet good enough to dispel the magic that had already flown away.
The wizards’ faces turned pale and they shut their eyes tightly to avoid the next tragedy.
however,
“Geochang-!!!”
The brave berserks, wearing sprouts or rather bear skins, raised their spears.
A grand pose that looks like it could blow out the window at any moment.
The one who gave orders like a commander was a girl who was weaker than anyone else here, but whose mental strength and courage were second to none.
The girl, Levi Fault, raised her hand straight ahead, pointing in the exact direction in which the executioners should be thrown, and they waited only for Levi Fault’s command.
A time that is not even a moment long.
The girl decided to gather all her strength into one.
“Throwing a spear.”
He was the first to throw his spear with a calm command, and the others followed suit.
A throat that looks infinitely weak.
Why are you carrying a wooden spear when even carrying an iron spear is not enough?
Even those watching felt their hearts tremble, but in the next moment.
Kwaaaaang!!
The eighteen spears and fireballs they threw collided, causing a huge explosion.
Strength against strength.
In fact, it would be common sense that it would be impossible to withstand the power of a fireball, but surprisingly, eighteen wooden spears.
Hwaaaa-!
Blast the fireball.
“T-You said it was canceled!?”
Professor Odwall of the Department of Magic was shocked when he saw this.
The flames, such destructive magic, were canceled out in an instant.
And that too with just a wooden stick…!
That’s impossible.
What kind of magic is that!?
He was astonished, but what was even more astonished were the students and teachers watching the war game.
“What did I just see?”
“Are those guys using speculation right now?”
“No, it wasn’t a trick. But, it did use explosive force.”
The nobles, especially those who had mastered the art of speculation, saw it.
A massive flow of power concentrated in the throat in an instant.
It’s not speculative power.
But the flow of pure power, similar to speculative power, is contained in the throat.
…even if someone asked if that was an incomprehensible explanation, they would have no other answer.
Even they are seeing it for the first time in their lives.
But whether they were surprised or not, the knight who watched the growth of the disciples was not interested.
All he cares about is the wonder of them finally unleashing their true power.
“Yes, that is Changgyeong (槍勁).”
“Then, if you put strength into the sword, is it a sword and mirror?”
“yes.”
“… The name is really simple.”
“It’s natural that things should be simple so that they are easy to remember.”
“Hmm.”
“And most of all.’
If the firepower is strong, isn’t that enough?
A nation of firepower.
For the descendants of Hwanung, who loved more firepower and power, nothing was more important than this.
He was the proud soul of the Chungmugong faction, who spared no expense in showing his love for firepower and which did not change even after being reincarnated.
* * *
“now!”
Levi Fault was in a commanding position at some point.
Unlike others, the results of studying monarchy and military science from a young age are revealed here.
bang!
And they followed Levi Fault’s orders.
It’s not just because the girl is more educated than them, but because they trust her.
I respect the trust of the girl who called them death row and the strength that the ambassador personally put into his body.
They ran with such force that they could barely make a dent in the ground.
It was not used in the original.
I just kicked with all my might.
But their movements truly resemble those of bears.
They were fierce and agile, like bears truly ready to hunt, not just because they were wrapped in bear skins.
It was an overwhelming speed that they could achieve because their bodies had been strengthened while practicing the sutras.
Speed of 30 km/h.
However, this speed cannot be maintained forever.
That’s why they run.
“Now is the time!”
Boom!
The grand pose continues again.
They took up the javelins on their backs again and assumed a throwing stance at a closer distance than before.
Crunch!
Kyung, it contains mass spread throughout the body.
However, they are still immature and cannot hold the entire body mass.
still.
‘We can even put in half the strength!’
And that alone is enough to be a threat to the enemy.
Whoosh, the spears flew without hesitation and aimed for the magicians.
The wizards were startled and used their telekinesis.
To block all the flying spears.
However.
bang!
Boom!
Kwajik!
“Ugh, ugh!”
“Wow!”
“Ames!!”
“Fuck! What the hell is going on!”
A powerful pressure falls on them, which cannot be counteracted by telekinesis.
After quickly covering the distance, they throw spears from all directions as if they were unfolding their wings.
Each warrior has eight spears.
They could not possibly hold out for more than that, and with most of it spent, they prepared to throw their final javelin.
For a quick settlement.
But before they could fly.
“[Blow, louder, sharp as a blade!]”
An order is heard.
The wizards weren’t just playing around.
“It’s a wind spell! Get back immediately! Don’t throw the spear!”
Levi Fault shouted at the top of his lungs, and they, who were obviously excited by the girl’s words, tried to get out of the place right away.
However.
“[Water, pour down, excitingly, quickly!]”
“[Melt the earth, deeper and deeper].”
“[Freeze, bring the cold of the permafrost].”
The wind that seemed like it would blow at any moment was a lie.
Cheats the order and prepares another attack.
A wizard is a natural born power user.
Hwaaaaak!
The warriors were hit by the wizards’ spells without even having time to run away.
Suddenly, heavy rain falls, and the ground begins to freeze and become muddy like mud or a swamp.
My feet are stuck to the ground, I’m slipping, I’m freezing.
Because the mobility disappeared in an instant.
They were embarrassed and their faces turned dark and disfigured, and the wizard did not miss this.
“… Are you thinking of a speed battle?”
Ron, who took on the role of leader of the wizards, quickly understood their attack method.
Quick and easy.
They didn’t seem to intend to prolong this confrontation.
Just like them.
But perhaps not for ‘merciful reasons’ like theirs.
There is another reason.
“I see, that power has a time limit!”
Ron realized.
The power they use.
I don’t know if that’s speculation, but it doesn’t matter now.
The important thing is that this power has a time limit.
If not, there would be no reason for them to be so flustered by their lack of mobility.
Ron smiled as he realized that time was on the wizards’ side.
Although they were a little taken aback, in the end, the victory in this match was theirs… .
“-The ambassador said so. He said that there are no people as arrogant as magicians, and that they often get hurt when they beat around the bush. That was true.”
“!!?”
When did it come so quickly?
The girl who ran to the end without ever giving up despite being later than others had her sword drawn and was in a stance.
Levi Fault, she said calmly, without an ounce of hesitation or despair on her face.
An infinitely cold look.
It was too cold to see the victory gone, and the girl let it be known that she had not given up yet.
“That’s right, just as you said, the other two are still not used to the light. That’s why we are so lacking.”
The time they can use the light at full power is at most about 15 minutes.
This is further reduced in actual use, down to 3 minutes.
That’s why this fight had to be ended quickly.
Because it was an inevitable choice in order to win.
So.
“I needed to approach it.”
The current distance between them and the wizard is five steps.
However, there was a wall of telekinesis between them, and in reality, they could only be subdued by forcibly breaking through it.
but.
“Isn’t it the ‘rule’ to subdue you?”
Yeah, this is a game.
There is a victory condition.
Capture the flag.
And towards the fluttering flag she went.
“Thank you, Instructor.”
He swung his sword into the air with sincere gratitude.
The wizards who were watching this thought it was some kind of stupid thing, but soon.
Phew!
A sharp wind blew through the wizards’ heads.
Toouk… .
“……uh?”
The wizards looked back.
flag.
The flag they must protect.
“Dude, is it broken?”
It fell to the ground so easily that it was ridiculous.
“… … … .”
… the wizards looked stupidly back and forth between the flag and the Leviathan.
I’m confused by a situation that I don’t understand at all.
But Levi Fault didn’t care whether they were confused or not.
now.
“… I did it.”
The joy of accomplishment and victory.
Because I was too busy feeling this thrill.
The girl was happy.
Although it wasn’t powerful enough to pierce through rocks like the instructor, at this point, the important thing was the power to break a single flag.
Emission of respect.
Name is Hayya.
“I’m glad that ‘Balgyeong (發勁)’ was successful.”
dump.
The girl, exhausted, collapsed, but a smile of utmost satisfaction spread across her face.
As bright as a flower.
– 2 minutes 39 seconds.
That was the time it took for the Swordsmanship Department to defeat the Magic Department.
“Yeah, um, what did you say?”
“… … .”
“Didn’t you say that you would listen to any order given by a defeated person?”
“… … .”
“Slave. Don’t cry and answer me.”
“…Khuuuuk!”
Professor of Magic.
It was also the moment when Odwall Bernard’s difficult life began.
