The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 50
(4)
8.
Before the start of the second game.
Dillia arrived at the stadium one step ahead.
She glanced around the arena, observing the flow of magical energy, and immediately stared at a black-haired girl walking from a distance..
‘Noah Darshen.’
tribes of grasslands like uhlan.
At first glance, it seems that he was a fairly competent shaman. In particular, it is famous for receiving an S grade in the curse field of the entrance exam..
But I wasn't particularly worried.
‘Because shamans have limits.’
Witchcraft requires tools or materials, and the speed at which magic is activated is much slower than magic..
There is a saying like this.
If a shaman and a wizard fight with equal strength, the wizard has a 90% chance of winning. So he must be confident.
‘I'm sorry, but I don't want to see you.’
In fact, Dillia was not interested in the mock war..
Even if I go out, there's nothing to be gained.
She was the princess of a duchy, and therefore did not need any investment or support from nobles..
‘however······.’
Changed my mind. there is only one reason.
It's because of Ulan..
If the current trend continues, Ulan will be selected in the top 10 unconditionally and will be qualified to participate in the mock battle..
‘Then of course I have to go.’
I'm friends with Ulan.
And I wanted to know more about Ulan. Only then will we become much closer than we are now, and our relationship will deepen as well..
‘To do that, you need to increase the amount of time you spend together..’
When the strange obsession was buried in the eyes.
I felt a presence not far away.
jerebuck!
Noah finally arrives at the arena.
She looked this way with a slightly tense face. By the time she faced her teeth, her roaring cry resounded throughout the arena..
“game start!”
the voice of battle.
It was Noah who moved first. She spread her talisman in her hand into the air all at once..
flutter! pababababat!
Talismans placed in perfect order.
Dillia, on the other hand, didn't care..
No matter what Noah did, she was only working her own magic..
‘I'll end it with as little pain as possible.’
with your own care.
The chant ended in an instant.
Faaaaaaa!
This is an attack magic called 'Starlight Flash'.
It is literally a basic attack magic that gathers the magic of the stars and blows them at the enemy. The power was weak, but the speed was incredibly fast. more than arrows.
‘bye.’
With a farewell that will never be conveyed.
Dillia raised her hand.
It was to shoot out starlight flashes. But at that moment, her eyes widened..
“uh?”
Right before the magic is completed after the chant.
Suddenly, the spell collapsed, and the mana that had been deployed disappeared as if it were scattered..
what? Was the composition perfect? When he tilted his head, Noah's expression caught my eye..
a face with a faint smile.
Dillia furrowed her eyebrows..
‘no way.’
You broke my magic now?
Just as the magic was about to complete?
‘But that's possible······.’
Same talent as Dillia.
He is the only being who can see all the magic that exists in the world and read its flow..
She narrowed her eyes..
‘it could be an illusion.’
So let's try some more.
This time I stretched out my hands in the air..
To use more powerful magic.
But the results were all the same. All the magic she was trying to cast was scattered just before her completion..
This means only one thing.
Dillia's eyes shook..
‘······same talent as me.’
Mana's Lover.
A being that can see all magical powers. Was there anyone else like that besides himself?.
she was honestly surprised.
but that was all.
‘Noah Darshen is a shaman.’
Shamans are slow to cast spells..
This is because of the principle of the.
‘The shaman technique is activated by injecting the main power after drawing a magic line in the image of the shaman..’
And this main power is a quality that cannot be accumulated in the body normally, so it must be created anew when the magic method is activated..
In other words, the process of converting mana into main force must be repeated every time a spell is used..
‘On the other hand, magic is different..’
All you have to do is arrange the mana stored in your body according to the magic formula you want to use..
Then the magic will be activated immediately.
This is the reason for the difference in speed.
‘so you can't cope.’
It's enough to pour so much magic at once that it's impossible to deal with it. To the extent that I can't even respond.
Dillia carried out her plan.
Ugh! ugh ugh!
Enormous mana spreading through the air.
It was the result of more than half of the mana that dwelled in her body flowing out like a flood..
‘1from level 3 to level 3.’
Placed all magic spells.
Twenty of those numbers.
My head was overloaded during this process, but I kept my sanity by biting my lips..
some time after that.
Dillia finished the stockade.
‘good. now with this······.’
it's really over.
Injecting magical energy into all the spells deployed, Dillia smiled in repentance. Then she proudly stretched out her hand toward Noah..
and.
nothing happened.
“uh?”
Dillia's eyes widened..
The moment I let out a panicked voice.
A look of astonishment lingered in his golden eyes..
“······!?”
It's because I finally realized.
That the twenty magics placed in the air had scattered as if they were all annihilated..
‘that, that is!’
That Noah broke the magic.
And that's much faster than Dillia..
Shortly after witnessing this scene.
Only then did Dillia come to mind. At lunchtime, she recounted what Ulan had told her at the restaurant..
「i get it. be careful too.」
Ulan, who told me to be careful.
At the time, I thought it was just a greeting..
With a feeling of strength. But seeing Noah's real skills, it sounded quite different..
‘Ulan was giving a warning.’
But you think this is just a greeting?.
Dillia bit her lip slightly. It's because she's mad at her own complacency..
‘What are you asking me to tell you that you're sorry??’
I'll win anyway, so Dillia blushed as she remembered herself an hour ago, when she told Noah to tell her she's sorry..
After struggling to suppress my shame.
‘yeah, i'll admit it.’
Noah Darshen is strong.
as much as yourself. maybe even more.
‘I'm not giving up though.’
It is Dillia who goes to the mock battle.
To spend more time with Ulan.
She had a strong determination in her heart..
Is it just because I'm too passionate??
Dillia didn't even notice.
At Noah's feet, there were a lot of shredded amulets piled up..
9.
Meanwhile around that time.
Noah stared blankly at Dillia..
A face with a clear expression of bewilderment.
The reason was obvious. He used magic dozens of times, but he never activated it..
‘I'm not even surprised.’
Sorcery is slower than magic..
Therefore, if a shaman and a wizard face off one-on-one, it is the shaman's inevitable defeat..
this is the common sense of the world.
‘but.’
This is only limited to the shaman of this world. And Noah is not, strictly speaking, a shaman in this world..
‘'Cause I'm a possessor.’
Originally an ordinary student in Korea.
That's why Noah has several abilities unique to the possessor. Blinking your eyes to find out other people's information is one of them..
and one more.
has a very special ability.
─────
[alarm]
*17Burn reduction skill, activation
*Intermediate Sorcery:【Magic Spirit's Gluttony】
-The demon dwelling in the amulet swallowed the opponent's spells and magical powers. 'Star Cluster Magic: Constellation Dance (Level 3)' disappears.

right skill system.
Noah can register and use all the spells that exist here as skills. Thanks to this, most of the process of invoking witchcraft is omitted..
‘Although, in order to register as a skill, you must have a complete understanding of the magic in theory,······.’
That's all you can do if you take the time.
Among the characteristics of Noah, there were also 'exploration' and 'memorization'. As a result, she has registered a total of sixty-eight spells as skills so far..
But this alone is not enough.
‘I have less magical power than Dillia.’
No matter how much skill system you have, you can't win if you don't have enough magic power. so i made a plan.
Strategies that are only valid for Dillia.
‘That kid swears by his skills.’
Of course I understand.
Because I have a lot of talent.
In response, Dillia instantly pours attack magic that consumes a lot of mana to win the victory..
this is the way she fights.
‘therefore······.’
Focus on defense rather than attack, and focus on evasion rather than defense. Use as little magical power as possible to nullify all of Dillia's attacks..
This was Noah's strategy.
And the blue amulet that currently hovers around Noah is a key tool in this battle..
‘Demon's Gluttony.’
A demon is a cursed soul.
The only condition for them to be freed from the curse is to swallow their magic power..
So, after enchanting the demonic spirit, letting it dwell in the amulet and releasing it, it swallows all nearby magical power and disappears..
yeah like right now.
─────
▶Star Magic: Aurora Strike (Rank 4) Disappeared
▶Cluster Magic: Supernova (Level 3) Extinction
▶Star Cluster Magic: Lightning (Level 2) Disappear
▶Cluster Magic: Cluster of Stars······.
─────
Magic that disappears like crazy.
Dillia is probably about to die by now..
Because no matter what magic I use, it doesn't even activate.
So, it seemed that Dillia had drastically changed her strategy..
‘Probably hoping the amulet will fall.’
The proof is that they are using lower-grade magic. In a way, that would be a wise move. Because it takes one demon to dissipate one magic..
It's futile though.
why?
‘There are still many demons.’
The way to the academy from the meadow.
Ulan and Noah encountered robbers and bandits of all kinds, from outcast villages to rugged mountains. And their souls became the spirits of Noah..
‘And a lot of amulets.’
While starving for lunch, he put each demon into an amulet. As a result, the number of amulets currently possessed by Noah is 100 and 82..
They are all demonic amulets.
‘this is enough······.’
I can hold out until my mana runs out.
Blue eyes shone with hope..
how long has it been like that?
The two engaged in a constant battle..
A fierce and ignorant fight in which the amulet is thrown and destroyed as soon as the magic chant ends..
but the problem is─.
It was just the two of us feeling that way..
“Uh, just in case, I'm asking.”
“It's right that the game has started?”
“yes, probably?”
“But what are those two doing??”
Students in the stands looked at the stadium.
Confrontation between sorcerer and sorcerer.
When I first heard it, I thought it would be a spectacular and destructive scene..
But the reality was different.
One of them stretched out his hand, and the other threw paper like crazy..
“Uh, but what is this??”
“Even if there is no thrill, there is not much.”
“I wonder if it's right to fight in the first place.”
It was an accurate expression indeed..
From a third person's point of view, the two of them just seemed to be struggling in the air..
But the two of them were serious..
“haha!”
“hook! woo woo!”
shortness of breath from the mouth.
My shoulders trembled intermittently, and my legs trembled as well. It means you've almost run out of horsepower..
Noah looked at Dillia as if he was tired of it..
‘Wow, what a real magic monster.’
Unlike Dilly, who chants magic directly in the arena, Noah has made an amulet in advance..
Even though it consumes relatively little mana, it's no wonder that mana is depleted similarly to Dillia. If I had attached properly without the amulet, I would have lost for sure..
‘It's like this during the day, but if it was night······.’
Noah swallowed dry saliva..
It was natural to be nervous. Dillia must fight at night to display her full power..
The magical power she accumulated is the magical power of the stars..
As long as the starlight shines on Dillia, she constantly recovers her magic power. When I let out a sigh of relief.
Jureuk!
Suddenly, Dillia had a nosebleed..
This means that the horsepower has been exhausted..
‘now!’
Your chance is now.
Noah's eyes flashed, and he grabbed onto his trembling legs and approached Dillia..
“Ugh, ugh!”
Dillia stretches out her hand with her brow furrowed..
However, the magic did not activate. The spell has been completed, but it is because the magic power to engrave has been exhausted..
and meanwhile.
Noah arrived right in front of Dillia. Now, if only the final blow is dealt, Noah will win.
but then.
“ah.”
rumble!
Noah's nose was also bleeding..
A series of statics running through the arena. Sensing that their mana had run out, the two blankly looked at each other's faces..
‘Victory conditions are clear······.’
one side surrendering.
Or, from the point of view of the referee, when he was judged to be incapable of fighting. only these two cases.
The referee, on the other hand, has no reaction. That means we have to continue fighting..
‘uh, what to do?!’
Noah hesitated for a moment..
It was worth it. I've attacked others with magic or curses many times, but I've never punched myself..
‘Should I pinch the ball first??’
white and soft cheeks.
If I pinch it a little harder, wouldn't it be painful and surrender? The moment I tried to reach out with such a complacent thought.
“uh? uh uh?”
Noah made a confused noise..
It was because Dillia suddenly raised her tiptoe and stretched out her hands. Then she stretched out her tiny palm and pulled Noah's hair..
“wait a minute! kyaaak!”
The pain of having your hair pulled out.
Noah, writhing in pain, grabbed Dillia's head with her half-turned-eyes on her face..
Dillia frowned similarly.
The two screamed at each other, holding each other by the hair..
“Ooh, let go of this.”
“you did it first! put you first!”
“I hate it, never, never let it go.”
“Then I can't let you go either! kyaak!”
Stadium quickly turned into chaos.
As the situation worsened, the referee intervened, and soon the second match ended in a draw..
10.
After the second match.
While the field was being refurbished, the stands were full of talk of the match that had just taken place..
Topics about battles that were smaller than expected and ugly fights at the end. The most talked about topic was the story of a tall savage girl who grabbed the princess by the hair..
And among them, there was Ybela, who returned to the stands after the first game..
“Uh, what the hell was that??”
Ibella Blinking Big Eyes.
I watched it from the middle to return the equipment I used in the game, but even considering that, I couldn't get a sense of the situation..
“You must have fought?”
“probably did.”
Ulan nodded..
In fact, he doesn't even know what happened..
However, seeing as Noah desperately tore the talisman throughout the game, it was only intuition that something was fiercely fought..
“Oh, yes. I don't know about the other side, but looking at the professors over there, they must have fought..”
She pointed to the seats where the faculty had gathered..
This is where the professors of the Faculty of Magic are located..
They were all discussing heatedly, each looking surprised or embarrassed..
Not only that.
The dean of the Faculty of Magic, Dipplin Cernio, also looked at Noah with surprised eyes..
Looking at these reactions, it seemed clear that there was something that ordinary students did not know..
“But what if it's a draw?”
It is very rare for a draw to come out in a selection match. Also, since both of their mana has been completely depleted, it must be impossible to rematch..
The moment when everyone's attention was focused on what the outcome of the second match would be.
“I will start the 3rd game soon!”
“The student named will be prepared!”
The sound that roars through the arena.
Soon after, the list of students participating in the third game was revealed..
“Himmel Theorg!”
“Ulan Bator! to the stadium!”
It was Ulan's turn..
Ulan immediately kicked the spot..
Then, just as he was about to head to the stadium, someone suddenly grabbed his arm..
“Ulan.”
It was none other than Ibella..
A slight tremor felt in the hand.
At the same time, the turquoise eyes tremble slightly. Her uhlan, who was staring at her, asked her insinuatingly..
“do you have something to say to me?”
“······ok, nothing.”
Ibela, who was about to say something, closed her mouth again. Shaking her head vigorously, she said with a face that had cleared away all her thoughts..
“be sure to win be sure to win.”
“Of course I will.”
“huh. Let's go to a mock battle together.”
At the end of the cheering from Isella with a smile.
Ulan grabbed the axe. Then he took a quick stride and headed for the arena..
some time after that.
Game 3 has started.
