chapter 32
32 – 1st Year Dalian Test
The boring start ceremony for the Dalian exam has finally come to an end. Anyway, I need to know a lot about what the head of the Witchbeast Association is saying. It’s a pity the principal stopped me. I almost talked to myself for over an hour.
Current time 9:30 am. The exam will start at 10 a.M. According to the schedule.
The 1st grade teachers each strengthened the students in their own way. In the case of our homeroom teacher, he said this in a very strong voice.
“Now! Then, fight for today’s Dalian test and don’t get hurt! The teacher continues today from A to Z. I’ll be walking around here and there. If something happens, call me right away. I’ll keep the cell phone on.”
With that said, they disbanded. As soon as we broke up, Sohee approached me.
“When is the class president’s exam?”
“Me?
Is it because it’s a match between the bottom of the 222nd place? It’s very late, and it’s starting at the end.
“I see. I start right away at 10:00 later. The sparring ground is the A sparring ground.”
“Really? You must be very nervous.”
You may have a lot of experience fighting monsters, but your experience fighting people is rare. Having said that, he was hesitant to say something and said this.
“Ah. Yes. I’ve been nervous until a while ago… I think I’ve relaxed a little after seeing the class president.”
And quickly corrected his words.
“No. Mmm. Forget what I just said. Oh! If it’s okay, would you like to come and see my sparring test?”
“Of course I have to go.”
A battlefield.
The battlefield was described in the original work, and among the temples, it was said that it was modeled after the Colosseum. That’s what it says. A very grand battlefield greeted us.
“Chief, look at the person…”
There were countless people, among them some wizards from famous guilds.
“Whoa… I shouldn’t be like this. I’m nervous again.”
I guess so. It’s not a situation that a 17-year-old can’t stand. It’s like the Delaon Academy that tries to push real people to the limit.
“Think about just showing what you practiced.”
I’m not good at comforting others, so I said something out of the ordinary, but I don’t know if it worked well.
“Yes. I will. But since the class president said he would watch over me… It might be better than the worst I expected.”
At that time, the sound of the microphone resonated loudly in Arena A.
-A little later, at 10 am. The match between Seonyeong Lee, ranked 19th in the school rankings, and Sohee Kim, ranked 22nd, begins. The two students, please come to the athlete entrance room by 9:50 am and wait.
“I’ll be back. Class president.”
After escorting Sohee to the front of the entrance room, we headed to the stands. After the fight between the 19th and 22nd places, the fight for 1st and 2nd place begins immediately.
Thanks to the big matches starting one after the other, the audience at Arena A was so packed that there was not enough space for him to step on.
Fortunately, there was a separate seat for the Delaon students, so they headed towards it and sat down. There, I was able to meet Choi Yu-eun and some of my classmates… But Choi Yu-eun was the only one who pretended to know.
“Hello class president? You seem relaxed. Enough to come see the Dalian test.”
“Uh. It’s too leisurely, so I’m going to wear it. It’s 4pm.”
“f*ck. Then I can take my sparring test.”
There was nowhere to sit, so I had no choice but to sit next to Yueun.
Current time 9:55 am. Before the players come out, the teachers come out and put a protective spell on the Colosseum stadium.
In addition to our freshman manager, the principal and the head of the Beast Association also help.
“What happened? The old man said he would help.”
“Heh heh. You never know. Maybe there will be a student who will break the protective spell between the two.”
“Yes. No need to worry.”
The three gather and raise the staff. At the same time, cheers erupted from the audience.
The three meticulously cast magic so that the ground in the arena would not be crushed and the magic damage would not reach the spectators.
After that, Kim So-hee and Lee Sun-young came up to the stadium.
“My grass magic. Have you prepared properly?”
Sohee silently nodded her head. Meanwhile, Choi Yoo-eun, who was sitting next to her, brought her words to me.
“Which of the two do you think will win?”
“I’m Kim So-hee.”
“Really? I think Seonyeong will win. I’m not saying this because we’re friends. He worked really hard too.”
I know. Sunyoung’s flaw is her sassy personality, so she is. Her sincerity is second to none. If she just fixes some of her flaws, she’ll be even more active when she’s the final boss.
“Then, should the two of us compete against each other as an extra game? Which one of them is right?”
Bang!
With the sound of gunshots, the match test between the two began. Seon-gong started with Seon-yeong’s grass magic.
Sohee froze the tree trunk that stretched out vigorously, and fired her ice sword at once.
“It’s unpleasant to throw a sword. Did you get stained by living next to the class president?”
“…”
Sohee made several more ice swords without saying anything.
A bunch of swords. Seonyoung wrapped grass around the staff and swung it away. The ice sword falls weakly to the ground but does not disappear. This must be Sohee’s goal.
“This isn’t the end, right? Then I’m very disappointed.”
“This is the beginning.”
Sohee started running towards Seonyoung. As if he hadn’t thought of such a move, he summons and swings a tree trunk with a puzzled expression.
“What kind of close combat a wizard is…!”
Thump!
Sohee blocked the tree trunk with her staff and grabbed the ice sword that had just fallen with her other hand. Soon, he swings it around and injures Seonyeong.
“Ugh!”
The distance narrowed at once. So-hee said this while aiming her knife at Seon-young’s neck.
“It’s over.”
“Wizards are melee. Does that make sense?”
Sohee laughed at those words.
“There’s no law saying you shouldn’t.”
“Whoa… Yes. I lost.”
Seonyeong’s unexpected defeat, but Choi Yueun smiled and said,
“Second. I lost.”
“Huh?”
“No. Nothing.”
Anyway, this incident will change Seonyeong a lot. Because she was horribly defeated by the swordsmanship she ignored.
“I don’t know how to say it in return, but I’ll show you my best performance in the next match.”
It looks great…
Actually, I hope that you will be a little gentler. The more overwhelmingly you win, the higher the chance that Song Da-eun will blacken with Mine.
While Choi Yoo-eun was heading to the stadium, I looked at my opponent, Song Da-eun, recalling the writer’s words, tmi. What kind of words should she say to become Mine?
***
In the audience seats, the principal and the president of the association sat in a separate seat and were evaluating the match.
“The confrontation just now was amazing. To be honest, it was a fighting style I hadn’t even imagined.”
“Cheers. How creative young people are these days.”
Not only use the sword as a projectile, but also approach it and use it as a weapon in close combat. In this world where swords are not seen as weapons, who would have imagined that? It was a truly strange and certain number.
“Come to think of it, the 1st year manager said that earlier. The class B class president is a wizard with double swords. Exquisitely, she is also class B. Could it have been influenced by him?”
“…”
The president of the association didn’t say anything, but then he smiled.
“Maybe.”
Continued to check the next bracket.
1St place fire mage, Choi Yoo-eun vs. 2Nd place dark mage, Song Da-eun.
“Is it a dark mage…”
Her headmaster looked at her, who was in the same situation as her, and thought about her.
There are many people who are reluctant to say that dark wizards are like warlocks, but the two are distinctly different.
Dark wizards are madmen who use forbidden magic, and dark wizards only deal with one of many attributes.
The youngest daughter of the seasonal guild master and a pretty girl with blonde hair. And she’s a girl with long black hair that seems to be intrusive somewhere.
Ironically, even though she didn’t do anything wrong, she was framed like a battle between good and evil.
“Choi Yoo-eun will likely win by landslide, but for some reason, she wants to support Song Da-eun more.”
“The same dark mage, but?”
“Yes. That child doesn’t seem to have had a smooth life either.”
As soon as the game starts, a magic circle is drawn in the sky. Advanced magic, flame strike? Yueun Choi, wasn’t she 17 years old?
“Young people these days are scary.”
“That’s right.”
Kwaaang !!!
The fight ended with one stroke of her magic.
No. 1 And No. 2, The number is only 1 difference, but the gap is significant.
“I wanted to see some dark magic. Too bad.”
***
After the match…
Song Da-eun lowers her head as if she is about to burst into tears. I know. Live a little bit
Song Da-eun, a dark wizard in Class 1, Class C, ranked 2nd in the entire school.
She has one dream, which is to combine her machine with magic. However, her dream was completely trampled on by her original work.
The reason is that it was a story that no one could realize and seemed like it would only come out in her dreams. Therefore, she became a demon and disappeared without realizing her dream in the end.
Afterwards, the author’s words tmi narrated, if she hadn’t become a demon, she would have been quite famous as the first magic scientist who combined machine and magic, but it’s a pity. She remembers commenting that if she had been alive, she would have had a much easier time catching the final boss.
No, then don’t kill her and use her as a heroine. This is a writer who can’t understand from one to ten.
Anyway, you have to make a profit. If she becomes a demon, she will inevitably defeat her, and if she succeeds in preventing her from becoming a demon, then she will succeed in magic science and play a big role.
At the back of the stadium, Song Da-eun was trudging along alone.
A single word from me determines whether she will become a demon or a strong ally. She went through her image training several times before approaching her.
