“Long time no see, friend. Exactly 183 hours and 47 minutes and 34 seconds.”
Kyle Ventia smiled and greeted me.
“… … I don’t know if the time is right. It’s been a while.”
It’s only about 7-8 days, so I guess that’s right.
“It will be correct. Since I met you, I haven’t forgotten you for a day.”
Kyle’s eyes as he looked at me shone even more intensely.
It was a bright eye that was blazing with fighting spirit and good luck.
“Didn’t you keep in mind that I refused to fight?”
“uh… … . There is no reason for that.”
Kyle smiled haha and frankly affirmed. Did she say honesty is the virtue of a knight?
It seems that he has a very honest personality to match his words.
“Is this enough greeting?”
Kyle slowly drew his sword from his waist, and straightened his stance.
A speed-oriented swordsman.
I held out a sword worthy of the name of the Knight of the Gust.
“I can’t stand it any longer. let’s fight.”
Kyle Ventia.
A combat fanatic who loves fighting against strong opponents more than anything else.
he smiled fiercely.
Whii-i-!
At the same time, the wind blew.
The wind blowing around Kyle’s body. It was condensed as if coating Kyle’s entire body and sword.
Befitting his nickname, he took on the appearance of a knight wearing a gust of wind like armor.
‘That’s the wind god.’
wind god.
Literally the god of the wind.
It is a direct vision magic that is transmitted to the Green Mage Tower, and currently there are only two wizards who can use that magic, Min Ga-yeon and Kyle Ventia.
The effect is accelerated through the coating of wind.
Using that magic to confuse opponents with speed is Kyle Ventia’s main fighting style.
“Make me feel the wall of the 6th circle.”
Kyle lowered his stance with an expression that he couldn’t have enjoyed it more.
It seemed like it would run at me right now.
I immediately rotated the Infinity Circle and prepared for a counterattack.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Instant eye contact.
“Goes.”
In the quiet world, only Kyle’s voice could be heard clearly.
The gust of wind that enveloped Kyle’s body condensed to a higher density.
‘come.’
Immediately after realizing and thinking like that.
“… … !”
Kyle was swinging his sword right in front of my nose before I knew it.
too fast.
I immediately used the shield to block Kyle’s sword.
Kaaaaaaang-!
A great roar rang out.
It didn’t break because it was a shield that had exhausted itself, but the impact remained intact and shook my shield.
“You’re the first person to have blocked this so neatly at first sight.”
Kyle returned to his original position, his eyes shining as if he was genuinely admiring him.
“Is this the famous style?”
“that’s right. You know.”
Wind god sword type 1.
style.
A sword technique that greatly increases the power and speed of sword strikes by concentrating a gust of wind on the sword.
I heard that it is a sword technique created by the previous generation of the green mage lord.
‘By the way, that blow… … It didn’t look right.’
I just missed Kyle completely.
Kyle’s personality was quicker and sharper than I had imagined.
‘As expected, the data analysis value of Kyle Ventia prepared in advance is not likely to be of much use.’
Kyle Ventia’s information was collected based on data from three months ago.
It seems that he has made considerable progress in 3 months in case someone is not a genius.
‘Well, I thought so, so I came out with a strategy of marking Kyle 1:1.’
Currently, I am the only person on my team who can mark Kyle.
“This time in a row!”
Kaaaaaaang-!
Kyle jumped again.
It was a swift slash at the same speed as before, but this time I didn’t miss the trajectory of the sword attack and Kyle’s spirit.
Anything that has mana cannot escape my eyes.
‘God’s eyes.’
My vision has changed.
My sixth sense was activated, and I began to see things that I could not see with my eyes alone.
You can see the flow of mana.
It seemed that Mana was telling me where he was going.
‘Neck, right arm, right thigh, abdomen, and back.’
Just as a sword cannot cut through water.
My body moved as smoothly as water, avoiding Kyle’s sword completely.
Aaaaaaaaaagh-!
After the fifth cut, Kyle, who was somewhat defenseless, presented a flare ball lightly.
The flare ball hit Kyle perfectly.
however.
“wow. Avoid all of this? You are really great!”
Kyle was fine.
The flare ball couldn’t pierce Kyle’s armor of gusts, the wind god.
You can’t damage Kyle with the level of 3rd circle magic.
“however… … . Doesn’t Flareball look down on me too much?”
Kyle frowned, as if his pride had been hurt.
Even though he had a chance to counterattack, he looked very unhappy that he used flare ball-level magic.
“well. I’ve never looked down on you.”
I moderately shrugged my shoulders and trembled.
If I had looked down on Kyle, I wouldn’t have acted like this myself.
“Then attack with all your might. Just like the Italian teams. With overwhelming power!”
Kyle was mad.
It was a laugh like a madman in a real fight. To be honest, it’s a bit scary.
“well. Is it necessary?”
“There is no need to go all out against me. What do you mean?”
The beast growled, his pride wounded. As if he was about to tear me to pieces, his ferocious spirit swayed.
“no. I don’t mean that.”
During an evasive maneuver, I put the in-ears back in my ears.
“This match is not 1:1, but 5:5 siege. I mean, there’s no need to knock you down. It’s over when you defeat the main unit over there.”
This is a siege war.
It is a game where the victory condition is not to defeat the opponent, but to occupy the opponent’s position.
There was no reason to use the huge power of Kyle to defeat him.
“… … Do you think you can take our kids down so easily?”
“uh. think.”
A voice came from the crackling in-ear.
―Succeeded in luring 3 enemies to the designated location!
Sunchan’s bright voice.
There were cheers of joy at the success of the operation.
“I don’t know about 3:3, but if it’s 3:4, no, 3:5, we will definitely win.”
“3:5… … ?”
As if he couldn’t understand what I was saying, he smiled at Kyle, who was narrowing his eyes.
-48-77! 33-123!
At that moment, Sunchan’s voice in the in-ear. Operation orders were heard.
A tactic I used when dealing with seniors in the past.
‘Distant magic support through magic fixation.’
The tactic was once again unfolding on distant American soil.
“… … what?”
Kyle Ventia put his hand on his in-ear and widened his eyes.
Perhaps someone over the in-ear heard information about my magic.
If you look at every side of the British team, it’s probably Maia’s radio.
“Shin Ha-yul is clearly in front of me… … .”
Roughly speaking, ‘Kyle! Are you sure you’re properly tying Shin Ha-yul!? Here is the magic of Shin Ha Yul… … !’ I wonder if it will be enough.
“… … What have you been doing?”
Kyle glared at me.
I looked at Kyle and smiled even deeper.
“Funny thing.”
Kyle’s expression hardened even more.
* * *
VVIP seats.
Min Ga-yeon, the owner of the green magic tower, was at a loss for words because her nose was stuffy and stifled.
“… … what is that?”
To begin with, the game ended in defeat for the British team.
All team members except Kyle are retired, and the camp is occupied and the end.
It was a crushing defeat.
Kyle had never used his power properly.
It’s a very one-sided game, so I don’t feel sad or angry.
The reason Ga-Yeon Min is currently running away from home is not because the British team was defeated.
“Kang In-ah. What kind of magic is he using now? How do you shoot magic all the way from that location?”
The magic Shin Ha-yul used was so absurd.
To think that they were able to use magic to provide support from a location 2km away with such precision.
How is that possible?
“… … Iknow, right.”
What surprised Kim Kang-in was the same. Kim Kang-in also saw Shin Ha-yul use magic like that for the first time.
How did Shin Ha-yul use magic at such a long distance?
“I guess I’ll have to do a video analysis later to find out.”
If Hong-ok had seen the scene directly, he might have noticed something, but unfortunately this time he watched the game over the monitor.
There is no way to know right now what Shin Ha-yul did.
“You don’t even know… … .”
Min Ga-yeon stroked her chin and thought for a moment.
“Red Mage Tower Master. Did you notice anything?”
Min Ga-yeon was thinking about it, so she asked the owner of the red mage tower for advice.
“Of course not.”
The red mage lord smiled refreshingly and replied that he did not know.
Min Ga-yeon shook her head with an expression like ‘Sure.’
“I don’t know anything about magic. My servant, I know that there are thousands of serpents in his stomach.”
It’s also a thousand-year-old serpent.
He added that the red mage tower lord drew a serpent with his hand.
“Using the performance and the first game against the Italian team, I made the opposing team suspect that Shin Ha-yul was a 6th circle user. Through that suspicion, he lured Kyle to a rather far distance. After pulling the opposing team’s maximum power out of the main base, Shin Ha-yul himself supports the main base through ultra-long-range magic. Is this really a strategy from an 18-year-old head, and a strategy realized by an 18-year-old gore?”
James smirked as if he was dumbfounded by what he said.
“Even the truth that he wasn’t really a 6th circle user was completely hidden by not getting along well with Kyle.”
If Shin Ha-yul had fought with Kyle sincerely, he would have noticed right away that Kyle was not Shin Ha-yul’s 6th circle.
As if Shin Ha-yul cared about such trivial things, he kept sending the nuance of ‘I’m fighting slowly’ against Kyle.
The result is this situation now.
The British team gained nothing from defeat.
For the British team, Shin Ha-yul is still a 6th circle user and is an immeasurable threat.
“… … This, even Dahlia would be very dangerous.”
James groaned and rubbed his forehead.
“I know. You Sara have very similar personalities to Maia, so she must have planned the same as we did. What should I do?”
Min Ga-yeon said to James with an expression of half annoyance and half complaint.
Annoyance was the emotion caused by losing to Shin Ha-yul.
Complaining was an emotion that came from thinking that James would suffer the same.
“Because they’re my kids, I’m sure I’ll come up with a suitable strategy… … .”
Even if the current edition is not good, it is too bad. The weight of all victories is leaning toward Korea.
“James. As I said, what I said today is confidential.”
“know! Even if I swear on mana, would you break it? Don’t tell Dahlia.”
James let out a sigh as the ground went out.
Even though he knew all the truth, he regretted himself for not being able to teach his disciples.
“Eh. I want my kids to do something… … .”
James looked over the monitor with a puzzled expression at the US team, who had appeared for the final game of the quarterfinals.

That night.
We decided to take a break in our respective rooms immediately to recover from the three losses we suffered today.
Probably everyone is sleeping in their own room, or getting care from a professional condition manager.
“Well, to sum it up, everything goes smoothly. This is it.”
“right. So far, everything is going smoothly.”
I am also adjusting my condition by reading books in Mimir’s Book.
Originally, it was forbidden to build up such fatigue before an important game, but it has nothing to do with me.
Because I have the ‘Ray Bell By-Tenor’s Robe’, which has the deceptive effect of always maintaining the best condition.
Long live Master’s robe.
“The problem is that dealing with Kyle is going to be more difficult than I thought.”
“Is that battle-mad idiot really that strong?”
“Yeah, it’s the 5th circle, so it’s strong.”
“Still, isn’t it comparable to the current successor? If you are a Circle 4 master, you should be able to easily produce the output of Circle 5.”
Convergence, which is a 4th circle master level, does not have a dramatic effect like the ring of expansion.
There is only a passive effect that raises the overall status by simply integrating all rings.
Due to this effect, my current magic output is equivalent to the 5th circle.
This is why you can use magic of strange power, such as the middle of the 5th and 6th circles, if you use Resonance.
“The compatibility is not good.”
“Compatibility?”
“uh. Kyle is a speed-oriented melee type. On top of that, there is a constant defense shield called Wind God.”
Speed oriented.
close combat type.
Here’s to the hard armor.
For me, who specializes in magic warfare through free magic, it can be said to be the worst opponent.
“But wouldn’t it overwhelm you if you used resonance?”
“If you use resonance, you win.”
If you use resonance, you win.
this is for sure
“The problem is that Kyle isn’t the only opponent.”
“ah. Dahlia Salentia is there too.”
However, resonance is not omnipotent.
If you are facing two Dahlia and Kyle in a row, you must fight without resonance when facing either one.
Even so, I would have an advantage, but if possible, I want to eliminate even this variable.
“In short, he’s got his Perfect Contrast Syndrome again~ That’s it.”
Mimir clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“Perfect Contrast Syndrome?”
“uh. If you don’t thoroughly prepare for everything, it’s a disease that causes thorns to grow in your mouth. In general, it is a disease that affects a person named Shin Ha-yul.”
Mimir laughed mischievously.
It seems that there is a bone in the horse, but it must be an illusion.
“Well, okay. It’s good to be so progressive in everything.”
Mimir laughed and got up from his seat.
Then he pulled out a suitable book from a nearby library and handed it to me.
“Have you read everything? ruler. The next book here.”
Seeing that the book I was currently reading had only a few pages left, he brought me a new book in advance.
“thank you.”
It seems that Mimir’s consideration is getting better and better every day.
I closed the finished book.
“how is it? Do you understand?”
“uh. any.”
I touched the outside of the book I was reading a while ago and checked the cover again.
[Fifth Infinity Circle, Circle of Truth]
“It’s a very interesting loop.”
