Episode 201 Bullet Time
Hong Yeon-hwa was taken to the Ruby Tower and suffered severe hardships.
I tried hard to explain myself, but I couldn’t do anything because I was caught on camera leaning against Kim Ho and sitting next to him.
Moreover, there were many problems with the content of the explanation.
– No, I’m telling you that if you really stick with it, you’ll be able to sleep well?
– Hey! Hong Yeon-hwa! Are you crazy!?
– Sister, look forward to it too!
– Yaaaaah!!
Common sense tells us that if we told people about the benefits of a good night’s sleep pillow, they would never believe us.
It just sounds like it’s translated as ‘I like him.’
Hong Yeon-hwa realized this fact long after the sisters’ fight had ended, just before she went to bed.
That night I was unusually lucid… … .
Because of these repeated misunderstandings, it seemed that Hong Yeon-hwa would have to endure her sister’s suspicious gaze for a while.
Meanwhile, there was considerable improvement in terms of skill.
Defensive magic.
Hong Ye-hwa was overjoyed to see that Hong Yeon-hwa, who had only been attacking and attacking until now, was finally turning her attention to defense.
It was somewhat unpleasant that Kim Ho gave that advice.
Ruby Tower also had no reason to spare support for the growth of a promising talent, and immediately gave Hong Yeon-hwa everything she wanted.
Two [Barrier] series grimoires and one [Armor] series grimoire.
Since one of them [Barrier] arrived first, Hong Yeon-hwa had time to acquire and practice it for the past few days.
And now.
She was catching up in the arena.
It was to test out the new magic in practice and to finish the remaining match.
“joy.”
Hong Yeon-hwa had a leisurely smile on her lips.
This is because I have gained a lot of confidence by learning powerful new magic.
If I were to fight Wang Chun-sam again now, it seemed like I would be able to easily overpower him.
In fact, Kim Ho and Wang Chun-sam’s skills were far superior to their scores, but if they had scored in the 600s, they wouldn’t even be able to compete with her.
I was confident that even if the two of us joined forces and attacked, we could burn it all down.
however…….
When the match was made and she saw the name appear on the scoreboard, the corners of Hong Yeon-hwa’s mouth slowly sank.
[Hong Yeon-hwa 714 points]
vs
[Calligrapher 730 points]
vs
[Kang Hee-chan 658 points]
‘why……?’
Why is my luck so miserable?
In the first game, the killer and the monster were caught, but in the second game, the musketeer appeared.
Considering that the wizards are weak against the musketeers, it was clear that this match would be very difficult.
Hong Yeon-hwa looked around and saw gray hair.
Calligrapher, and Kim Ho before her.
‘They’re always hanging out together.’
They said they weren’t dating, but seeing them like that made me feel strange.
The calligrapher occasionally moved her head up and down slightly while listening to what Kim Ho was saying.
Usually I just want to throw everything away and go to sleep, but today I feel very motivated for some reason.
You can see the determination to win at all costs.
It’s bad enough that you’re out of luck with a gun in hand, but you’re also full of motivation.
It was bad news for Hong Yeon-hwa.
‘Oh my, my fate… … .’
She let out a small sigh, then climbed onto the teleportation magic circle and entered the arena.
A volcanic area surrounded by rivers of lava.
The volcano in the corner of your eye is ready to erupt at any moment.
On the other side, two opponents appeared one after another.
From Hong Yeon-hwa’s perspective, Kang Hee-chan is meeting her for the first time.
Judging from the longsword he is wearing, he is assumed to be a warrior.
His wary gaze was something Hong Yeon-hwa always received.
Because it is known to the world that she is a promising prospect.
Then, Kang Hee-chan frowned slightly while looking at the calligrapher.
There seems to be some bad blood between the two.
Even so, he would occasionally glance at her from the corner of his eye, and even though Kang Hee-chan himself pretended not to notice, it was very obvious to Hong Yeon-hwa.
‘She’s pretty.’
If she has such beauty that even she, as a woman, admires it, how much more must men admire it?
That’s all the information you can get from a simple exchange of glances, and the rest will have to be figured out once the game starts.
As soon as everyone was ready, the countdown began.
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Start!]
-Kwakwakwakwang!
The volcano erupted, sending up a volcanic ash cloud.
The three of them walked away from them without taking their eyes off each other.
Hong Yeon-hwa immediately casts a spell.
Geometrical characters made of mana emerge, and complex spells are quickly assembled to form a single magic spell.
Meanwhile, the calligrapher seemed to be taking something out one by one and turning it over,
-Swoosh—
The appearance became transparent and disappeared.
He was wearing a transparent ghillie suit.
Hong Yeon-hwa was so excited that the magic she cast almost stopped.
‘No, that’s not quite right… … .’
You’re saying you’re going to go into hiding as soon as you start?
In fact, there was no strategy as effective as hiding in a three-way battle.
If there’s no way to detect stealth, the remaining two will have to fight back.
And unfortunately, Hong Yeon-hwa had been focusing all her energy on attack magic until recently, so she was a dud when it came to defensive magic as well as utility magic.
So there was no way to find the calligrapher.
“… … .”
It seemed like the same situation was happening to Kang Hee-chan on the other side.
There’s nothing you can do about ignorant inspectors.
Kang Hee-chan seemed to want to avoid facing promising prospects as much as possible, but he had no choice.
Besides, the more time he gave the wizard, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, so he immediately kicked the ground.
– Blame!
Kang Hee-chan approaches at a frightening speed.
But even when facing him, there was not a single hint of crisis on Hong Yeon-hwa’s face.
“joy.”
Hong Yeon-hwa’s magic was completed one step before he could reach it.
Even though I took Kim Ho’s advice and got used to the long casting time, I casted it in an instant.
[Reverse flow curtain]
– Whoosh whoosh!
Flames rose from beneath Hong Yeon-hwa’s feet and enveloped her in a spherical shape.
Kang Hee-chan frowned at the sight.
‘Is it a barrier? It’s useless.’
He is also a swordsman who handles mana.
If you thought you couldn’t break through a barrier like that, you were grossly underestimating yourself.
Blue mana formed on the longsword held by Kang Hee-chan.
Let’s just draw it diagonally,
– Crunch!
Immediately the barrier was torn apart, revealing Hong Yeon-hwa.
The next sword strike should be able to damage her.
however,
– Whoosh whoosh!
Flames poured out of the torn barrier like flamethrowers.
Kang Hee-chan’s entire body was covered in flames.
“what!”
The reflux barrier is normally maintained in the same form as any other barrier.
However, the moment the opponent damages it, the energy that formed the shield flows back and causes damage.
Hong Yeon-hwa liked it because it was a defensive magic that automatically counterattacked.
[Kang Hee-chan 99%]
[Kang Hee-chan 96%]
[Kang Hee-chan 94%]
Kang Hee-chan’s stamina is decreasing by the minute due to his whole body being on fire.
If it had been Wang Chun-sam, he would have stabbed him like that, but Kang Hee-chan didn’t seem to be that poisonous.
First of all, he decided to put out the fire by keeping some distance, but that was a very bad choice.
Because Hong Yeon-hwa had plenty of time to cast the following spells.
The ruby glows red, and the staff points to a falling fireball.
[Outburst]
– Phew!
A large explosion occurred, engulfing the place where Kang Hee-chan had retreated.
It was like stepping back to put out the fire, only to get caught in an even bigger fire.
[Kang Hee-chan 86%]
[Kang Hee-chan 82%]
“Ugh… … !”
Only then did Kang Hee-chan realize that he was in a corner.
With a desperate mind, he rushes towards Hong Yeon-hwa again.
Of course, Hong Yeon-hwa was fully prepared to deal with him.
[Fireball]
[Flame Arrow]
[Fireball]
[Fireball]
Dozens of fist-sized fireballs and fire arrows rained down.
“Kkaaaaaaah—!”
Kang Hee-chan desperately advanced, cutting them down with his longsword and hitting some with his body, but there were too many of them.
Even after pouring out so many, dozens of new ones were still being created.
It’s about chaining together multiple spells with frighteningly fast casting.
Kang Hee-chan was unable to reach Hong Yeon-hwa and disappeared out of the stadium, unable to fight.
[Hong Yeon-hwa 100%]
vs
[100% calligrapher]
vs
[Kang Hee-chan – %]
Even though she had easily defeated one of her opponents, Hong Yeon-hwa’s complexion was not bright at all.
Rather, he continued to cast magic in an even more serious manner.
‘We need to prepare.’
Because Seo Ye-in, who is a much more difficult opponent than Kang Hee-chan, remains.
Cover the floor with a magic circle and replenish your supply of fireballs and fire arrows.
Of course, I wasn’t a calligrapher who would just sit back and watch.
– Doo doo doo doo!
From somewhere, a dozen or so magic bullets pierced through the barrier and hit Hong Yeon-hwa.
“Ouch.”
[Hong Yeon-hwa 100%]
[Hong Yeon-hwa 83%]
Stamina that was completely lost in an instant.
It was impossible to block the musketeers’ magic bullets with a defensive barrier that had only been learned for a few days.
Also, the countercurrent is actually a melee defense magic.
Flames shot out from the destroyed area, but they did not reach the opponent because they were too far away.
In one way or another, it is a disadvantage against the general.
“… … .”
The calligrapher appeared, clearing her transparency.
Expressionless gray eyes look this way.
Hong Yeon-hwa shouted in protest.
“It’s too lethal!”
“It harms.”
A calligrapher rushes forward, throwing out a short phrase.
At the same time, the assault rifle she was holding started firing blue fire continuously.
– Doo doo doo doo!
“Eww.”
As the magic bullet struck again, Hong Yeon-hwa felt tears welling up in her eyes.
The odds of victory are already almost in the opponent’s favor.
But I had no intention of giving in easily.
All the magic that was prepared in advance is activated at once.
[Fire Pillar]
[Flame Arrow]
[Fireball]
– Kwaaaaah!
Dozens of fireballs and fire arrows rain down, targeting only the calligrapher.
Pillars of fire rising from all directions further reduce the amount of space to escape.
“… … .”
But the calligrapher still stared at them with expressionless, slightly blank eyes.
Just as her body was about to be engulfed in flames,
– Flash!
The gray eyes took on an eerie glow.
Everything in the calligrapher’s field of vision slowed down as if it had stopped.
To the point where you could even see each and every one of the flying fireballs blazing.
Soon she discovered a tiny gap between the pouring fire spells and pillars of fire.
And then I leisurely walked towards it, taking feather steps.
The next moment, her slowed vision accelerated to its original speed, and fireballs fell behind her, creating a huge flaming explosion.
– Pfft pfft—!
Hong Yeon-hwa opened her mouth slightly.
‘You avoided all of that… … ?’
I didn’t expect that with all this firepower concentrated, I wouldn’t be able to hit even a single fireball.
Hong Yeon-hwa frowned as she faced the gun pointed directly at her.
‘Why… … . Why… … ?’
Why can’t I be happy… …?
The magic gun continued to shoot blue fire.
– Doo doo doo doo!!
