Genius Warlock-Episode 305

“hmm… … . A person who is well-balanced and strong from the start.?”

Oliver said it as if it was nothing special, but it was also an accurate expression..

Yareli of the Iceeye family, a prestigious family of the Skadi school, had the amount of magic power and magic abilities commensurate with his reputation, as well as combat experience..

She was skilled enough to use ice magic, which was difficult to use in dry places, without much difficulty, and more than that, she understood the characteristics of ice magic better than anyone else: poison-like cold, binding force, and the ability to control space..

As evidence, she easily overpowered her opponent even though she only used a small amount of magic compared to the amount of magic she possessed, and in the meantime, she took care not to hurt her opponent..

Actions that can only be performed if your skill level is several levels higher.

Perhaps because of this, the students who interacted with Yareli and those who watched her, regardless of gender, had positive emotions such as liking and admiration for her..

‘I look a little tired......'

thought Oliver, seeing through Jarelli's emotions..

Well, maybe it's not that strange... . Most students at the Magic Tower were under pressure and were always mentally and emotionally exhausted..

There were some who were not, but they were a relatively small number, and people from prestigious families were no exception..

From what Oliver had seen so far, it seemed that the more prestigious the family, the higher the expectations..

‘It must be hard for everyone..’

thought Oliver as he and Kevin filled out the evaluation sheet for Yareli..

square. square. square….

After a while, the sound of the pen stopped, and Kevin turned back the timer he had set and asked a question..

"Felix and Derek had their 10th and final match.?”

“Yes, Derek and Felix are done. Mr. Yarely still has one last match left..”

I answered while checking the evaluation sheet written by Oliver..

[[Magic Combat Basics] The final exam involved students competing against each other according to the schedule set by Kevin, and each student had to compete ten times in a row..

Thanks to this, most of the students were exhausted, except for a few like Derek and Yareli..

‘However, you still have to do this. Magic combat is a class to prepare for war wizards, and war is not a competition. It only helps if you push yourself to the limit..’

That's what Kevin said when students were shocked by the intense testing method that was different from other [Magic Combat Basics] classes..

It didn't seem so wrong to Oliver..

When it comes to fighting for your life, unexpected situations tend to occur more often. This would be much more helpful.

‘Of course, it won't be the grades..’

Oliver thought, remembering the students who took the previous test..

There were students who were good and some who were not good, but regardless, most of them were exhausted from the series of matches and quit in the middle, and Kevin said to them, 'You are dead.'.

Due to Kevin's cold-hearted evaluation personality, it will be difficult for most people to get good grades..

Oliver now seemed to understand why the Magic Tower preferred classes with good grades over helpful subjects..

“Can you tell me something here??”

As Derek and Felix came down and the next group of students went up, Yareli spoke in a calm but clear voice..

I felt it before, but it was a unique voice..

Even though the voice was not loud, it caught people's attention, caught the ear, and was pleasant to listen to. It felt like I had practiced.

“what? By any chance, is it bad??”

Kevin asked, and Yarely shook his head..

“No, I'm not injured and I'm in good physical condition..”

“then?”

"If you allow me, can I nominate the final opponent??”

“nominate an opponent?”

Maybe it was a very unexpected remark, but Kevin frowned..

“yes."

“hmm..… .Who do you want to fight with??”

“Zenon, come here..”

Yareli pointed to Oliver, who was filling out and organizing the evaluation sheet, and everyone's attention was focused on Oliver..

***

Everyone's eyes are focused on them. Oliver felt a sense of déjà vu..

[I think something similar happened during the first class [Magic Combat Basics].

"what is the reason?”

Kevin asked, and Yareli answered Cheongsanyusu..

“The professor said that the purpose of this test is not just to get good grades, but also to prepare for the time when you become a military wizard after being promoted to a full-time wizard.?”

“however?”

“Coincidentally, I watch how other people fight to understand their weaknesses..”

Oliver was impressed. Yareli was talking about facts through cool-headed evaluation, not arrogance..

no wonder..… . He was clearly aware of the timing of the students' hesitation and their next response, so he had it all figured out. He had amazing powers of observation and memory..

Kevin also acknowledged it and didn't refute it at all..

In other words, Yareli was saying exactly the right thing..

she nailed it.

“So, I think it would be better in terms of training and evaluation to compete with Mr. Zenon, whom I don't know well..”

It didn't seem so wrong, considering that Oliver wasn't a student. Other students were also interested and joined in..

Oliver looked at Kevin. he was thinking for a moment.

Rather than simply dislike, the rejection seemed to have more of a story behind it..

“Is there any reason not to do this??”

Yareli suddenly asked a question. However, there was more to it than just words. The evidence is the faintly shining emotions of doubt..

Kevin was slightly but clearly displeased by the provocation, or rather the provocation..

It was unexpected. There were some uncomfortable feelings between us, but I thought it was because we were red people and that there were no problems other than that, but I guess I was mistaken..

Kevin looked at Oliver..

“Zenon, do you want to try it??”

“what..… . If it's work, I'll do it.”

***

As suggested by Yareli and Kevin, Oliver took off his outerwear, took his tonfa and went up to the stadium..

First of all, I said I would do it, but I was wondering why this situation suddenly happened..

‘This also feels like déjà vu.?’

Oliver thought as he looked at the students whose eyes were filled with interest and interest. They stopped the exam for a moment and surrounded the stadium to look at this place..

It felt like this when I competed with Derek in the first class..

“Isn’t quarter staff better??”

Yareli suddenly asked Oliver, who was standing awkwardly in an awkward atmosphere..

“yes?”

“I asked if quarter staff would be better. You used it on the first day of class..”

“ah. These days, I'm more comfortable with tonfa. Thank you for your words.”

Oliver half lied..

It was true that he was very familiar with the tonfa and fighting skills from Duncan and Joe, but perhaps due to the period of use, he was less familiar with it than the quarter staff..

‘Well, that's not important.’

Thinking about that, Oliver turned his head towards Kevin, and Kevin came to the center of the stadium quite seriously and explained the rules of the match..

It was the same as with Derek, nothing to worry about..

“The match time is 5 minutes like other tests. Did you understand??”

“yes."

“understand.”

“good......."

Kevin left the stadium with those words and manipulated his magic power to create a magic barrier around the stadium..

“Match begins.”

With Kevin's declaration, Yarrelli used his feet to form a large area of ​​ice on the stadium floor. He spread out in all directions.

Because it started right after the game started rather than preparing in advance like other students, Oliver reacted a beat later than usual..

Truly amazing skill.

But what was even more surprising was that this was not a deadly attack, but merely a paving stone..

Yareli's emotions told him this, and Oliver wanted to repay his response by holding the tonfa like an axe and flipping it from the bottom up to cut through the front..

Thanks to this, the ice that covered the entire stadium could not cover the broken part..

‘It would be dangerous if it lasted too long?’

Oliver thought as he watched Yarely's fight and her emotional state..

She reduced the opponent's physical functions with poison-like cold, and dominated space with trap-like ice to slowly press down on the opponent, so if it took too long, Oliver was at a disadvantage..

It would have been okay if I had simply lost, but somehow I felt uncomfortable..

Although it is faint, Yarely's suspicion and desire for confirmation shine towards Oliver..

It wasn't malicious or conniving, but it felt like there was some ulterior motive and I had to be careful..

Having come to that conclusion, Oliver stepped forward on the ground that was not covered with ice. Ice pick parching! It rose up with a sharp sound and blocked Oliver's path..

It emerged from the ice-covered ground next to it and contained a high density of magic power, so the view was blocked for a moment..

Oliver swung his tonfa, destroyed the ice pick blocking his path, and looked ahead..

Yarely was not there..

Swish——Pang!!

As soon as Oliver confirmed that Yareli was not there, he sensed his surroundings by radiating magical power from his entire body, and swung his tonfa like a whip to hit the ice dart that flew from the side..

Sharp ice shards flew everywhere with a light sound like a glass breaking, and Yareli could be seen beyond them..

She quickly moved across the frozen ground and created and threw another ice dart..

Tdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd—!

Oliver swung his tonfa like a whip and hit the ice darts, and Yareli continued to throw ice darts..

An ineffective and boring attack that's not like her. Oliver soon figured out what was going on..

Swish 1!

Swish 1!

Among several ice darts, Oliver dodged two without breaking them by turning to the side..

When Oliver's unbroken ice dart collided with the magic barrier, powerful cold air was released that froze the surroundings..

Yareli, who saw through his move, tried to prepare a big attack using the ice spread on the floor, but as soon as Oliver saw it, he threw the tonfa like an ax and interrupted the spell..

Whether it was magic, black magic, or physical combat, the most efficient way was to block it before it unfolded..

Yareli looked at Oliver with a surprised expression at the attack, which was more aggressive than expected..

It wasn't over yet.

The tonfa that Oliver threw hit the ground, and Oliver pulled the pre-installed magic room and quickly approached Yareli..

Because the floor was slippery due to ice, something was needed to support it..

‘Ice magic. It's just the opposite, but it's similar..’

Oliver thought about being greatly influenced by the surrounding environment and taking control of space through extensive magic..

Yareli was momentarily embarrassed when he saw Oliver quickly closing the distance, but immediately calmed down and used magic, as if he really had a lot of practical experience..

[Frost Breath)]

Yareli swallowed the cold air around the stadium and then spat it out generously at Oliver..

A murderous azure cold that will tear your skin and impair your bodily functions..

It was not easy to dodge as it was launched accurately while approaching, so Oliver decided to attack it head on rather than dodge..

Holding a tonfa on one side and filling up the power with full force to take power.

Paang.....!!

Oliver's fist, full of magical power, extended towards the flying sky-blue cold, and surprisingly, the cold spread widely as if it had lost its central point..

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……

A possible result because the power was increased through magical power and the weaknesses of the spell were exploited..

Students watching outside the stadium were amazed at the battle that took place in such a short period of time..

Oliver stopped a few steps in front of Yareli..

Yareli did not panic even though his magic was destroyed, and prepared a counterattack by gathering ice frozen on the ground..

As soon as Oliver saw that, he pulled the tonfa connected to the magic room and swung it toward Yarely's shoulder..

Pak!!

Yareli not only defended Oliver's attack by surrounding himself with ice from the ground like a shield, but also tried to freeze the tonfa and Oliver's hands by fixing the embedded tonfa..

A detailed counterattack if you make a mistake.

Oliver was impressed and struck the frozen tonfa with the other tonfa, breaking the ice surrounding his hand, then concentrated his magic power to recover the lost body temperature..

I thought that fire magic, which instantly overwhelms the opponent with high firepower, was more effective than ice magic, but it seemed like I was wrong..

If fire magic suppresses the opponent with high firepower, ice magic gradually suppresses the opponent..

There was only a difference in personality, but it was just as threatening as fire magic..

After recovering from his frozen hands, Oliver tried to attack Yareli again, but she quickly gathered magical energy into both hands and gave magical energy to the ice-covered ground, creating a huge wall of ice..

Between Oliver and himself... . And all over the stadium.
