40 – Open Practice (2)

Anastasia Aris.

As the head of Class A, Adele knew better than anyone how vicious she was with her summoning characteristics.

【 Attribute : Summon 】

Basic pattern to manifest summoned beasts in this world.

The specifications of the summons are on the compliant side, and the casting time is short.

Each one is not very strong, but as the saying goes, the number of people is a gangster.

【 Unique magic: Baekkyung 】

The strongest pet that Anastasia has.

If the summoning of the white whale was over, it would be safe to say that no student currently enrolled at Trinity Academy could beat Anastasia.

It seems to be summoned normally, but if it’s an open practice, it can be judged as cheating, so I’ll summon it after the practice starts.

Whether or not this could be prevented was the key to determining victory or defeat.

Since then, there have been numerous attacks using the White Wyvern, but the defeat was confirmed at the time the White Wyvern was summoned, so there was no need to recall it.

In the end, the key to dealing with Anastasia was not looking to the future, but putting forward the strongest move and winning the game in the early stages.

─Anastasia Aris and Adele Heights. The student whose name has been called, please come up on stage.

The turn has finally come.

Adele, who was sitting in her chair and resting her chin on her, got up from her seat and checked her body condition.

I’m still not in perfect shape after fighting Nikita.

“Um… ….”

When I turn my wrist, it turns fine.

She is also good at squeezing and extending her fingers.

There is no problem with making a fist.

It was the same with the legs.

“This should be enough.”

Anastasia, who was called right next to her, passed by Adele.

She didn’t look nervous.

As always, I went up to the stage leisurely, as if I was taking a walk, with sleepy eyes as if I was about to fall asleep.

‘As Baekkyung said, you should have gone to bed early yesterday. I’m going to sleep.’

Anastasia thought about that as she looked up at the open ceiling where the sun poured in.

Clear sky without a single cloud.

The weather seemed like it would be nice to beat Adele in practice and sleep on a nearby bench.

I was a little surprised that Adele scored higher than her in the previous retreat, but it was possible for her to form a team, so it must not be the result she achieved entirely on her own.

She couldn’t even imagine losing to Adele in an individual competition like she is now, so it was something she could afford.

‘…… It’s a face like ‘.’

She didn’t think that Adele would be ashamed of seeing that.

In fact, at the retreat, she teamed up with Lucy, monopolized her Charlotte’s score, and beat Nikita.

Even now she does not have her arrogant thoughts of fighting her head-on and winning.

That’s why I stopped by this auditorium yesterday and messed around.

It’s cheating, but that’s only if it’s caught.

It’s not that difficult to fool the professors’ eyes, and if that happens, there’s a good chance that the chairman will coolly turn a blind eye to it even if he finds out.

It sounds shameless, but rather, you might admit that deceiving the professor’s eyes is a skill.

Anyway, in order to beat Anastasia, I had to put an iron plate on my face like this.

“… ….”

Adele took the stage.

I had never experienced hundreds of pupils pointing towards me, but it was a tense experience, as if I would never get used to it.

“After.”

Because I’m waiting with a deep breath.

Taang───!

The start signal sounded out of nowhere, and smoke billowed from the stage floor.

This rule was changed because there was an order from the director to conduct open practice as if it were a real game.

It was to check how quickly the two trainees could cope with the situation without letting go of tension in a state where they did not know when and what situation would come.

Adele reacted first.

Since I already knew the methods of the chairman, I expected that this would happen.

I was aware of the fact that the environment that obscured my vision was created when I saw a student receiving harsh criticism a while ago.

Adele immediately imbued the ring on his finger with his magic power.

Weiyiing───

Magic power rotates along the circuit and returns after being amplified.

All of the students and professors in the audience were amazed at the sudden wave of magic.

Adele, who originally had a lot of magic power, amplified her magic even more with a ring, so she was one of the few students in terms of magic power.

Low mana.

I thought maybe I could become Anastasia’s opponent.

“Fairy tale.”

With such amplified magic, the stage he stood on, not to mention the target to assimilate.

You can also locate Anastasia hidden by the smoke, and this is also the fastest attack.

“Swallow it——”

Before Anastasia’s chant ended.

Coo-goo-goo-goo…… !

The stage floor moved.

Anastasia also felt the magic transmitted through her floor and jumped behind her to avoid Adele’s attack.

“…… !”

However, that attack was not the end.

Pabababababak!

The endlessly rising floor did not give Anastasia time to sing.

Speaking itself is possible.

However, I couldn’t concentrate enough to control the magical power required for summoning.

A continuous attack without giving Anastasia a chance to summon.

The stage had become a thorny road to Adele’s fairy tale, and it was steadily reducing the place for Anastasia to stand.

“… ….”

At first glance, it was a sight that Adele was overwhelmed by, but Ella didn’t think so.

She is rather overwhelmed with blocking the summoning.

Considering the amount of mana used in that attack, it would be unreasonable to continue driving in this state.

Then Adele had to come up with a more drastic move here.

I also watched the practice, hoping that Anastasia would step down from the podium in this situation.

“…… Be persistent.”

Anastasia, who was barely avoiding the attack and was looking for a chance to sing, was annoyed.

This frustration of not being able to summon even a single summoner.

I couldn’t shake off that attack that would rip off the scruff of my neck if I was even the slightest careless.

Feel the magic flowing into the floor, and run away before anything changes.

The repetition of the process continued for several minutes.

And the end of the iterative process.

“…… It’s okay.”

It ended with Anastasia giving up running away.

Anastasia, who judged that Adele’s own stamina would run out first before Adele’s mana ran out, chose to complete her summons even if she endured minor injuries.

Blood flowed from her hands that gripped her raised floor.

With a small moan at the pain of her torn skin, Anastasia uttered the fastest incantation she could.

“Swallow it, Hati.”

A short and concise chant completed.

From noble mtl dot com

The pain blurred my concentration, but there was no problem in summoning this much.

Hwaaak─

In an instant, the gusting wind and the auditorium’s light swept away.

“What?”

Some students looked around wondering if there was a problem in the auditorium, and the professors, who recognized the cause of the phenomenon through the flow of magical power, looked down at the stage with interest.

─Aww!

Howling from the pitch-black stage.

Golden eyes shining in it.

Hati, the wolf chasing the moon, is a summoned beast to reverse the situation that has only been defended so far.

“Go.”

Anastasia ordered Hati to create an opportunity for him to summon another summoned beast, White Wyvern.

At that command, Hati ran towards Adele, avoiding the rising floor.

“Is it Hati? Fortunately, as expected.”

Forcing Anastasia to the point where she couldn’t even summon it went better than expected.

In the meantime, we have been steadily working on the groundwork to reverse this situation.

As Adele stamped her feet, her bottom stretched out and wrapped around her arms.

In that state, he prepared to meet Hati, who rushed at him with his eyes shining in the smoke.

Tadak, tadak.

The sound of claws hitting the floor.

Since the purpose of Anastasia is to buy time for her chanting, she moves as if she is trying to somehow focus Adele’s nerves on herself.

And it seems that Adele’s focus has been sold on Anastasia’s containment.

─Kurururr!

Through the darkness, the wolf Hati charged at Adele.

Kwajik!

Adele gave Hati his arm that was wrapped around the floor.

It was a hard concrete floor, but the wolf’s sharp fangs would pierce through it and tear your arm off.

Before that misfortune happened, Adele grabbed Hati by the collar with her free hand and held his head with her free hand.

Wooddeuk.

My neck twisted with the sound of my bones turning.

Hati slowly disappears into the darkness as her pupils relax.

It appeared, spewing out the light it had swallowed and bursting into a blinding flash in the auditorium.

─────.

Everyone in the auditorium covered their eyes with their arms or hands, waiting for the light to fade.

──────.

That light did not fade easily.

Those who covered their faces during the strangely long lull looked over the stage with frowned eyes.

The stage I looked at was still shining.

To be precise, the magic power emitted by Anastasia, who stood in the center of the stage, was tinged with brilliant blue light.

The long, long chant is almost over.

Adele did well, but the practice will end the moment the white whale is summoned.

Anastasia thought that she would learn not to be arrogant next time and sit down on a bench near her to rest.

“Ohhh.”

Summon of the white whale that has arrived.

Unexpectedly, he performed quite well, but this will allow him to see the arrogant Adele lose unsightly in front of a large crowd.

Cayenne stood up from her seat and stood on the railing to watch the moment when Anastasia’s victory, Adele’s defeat, and joy and sorrow intersect.

“Destroy.”

Anastasia was also in the middle of reciting her last chant, confident of her victory.

“Conquer.”

As the light faded, the expression on Adele’s face on the other side of the stage, for some reason, did not look like she had intuited defeat.

A face that hasn’t given up on victory, as if there were still numbers left, or even this was as expected.

Anastasia was taken aback when she saw that, but she finished her chant.

“──Baekkyung (白鯨).”

Uh uh uh uh… ….

The cries of whales filled the auditorium.

The earth shakes at that sound.

The stage trembles, dust rises, and even the air trembles, and the vibrations touch the skin.

The air pressing down on her shoulders as if it were raining came from the ceiling.

“… ….”

Everyone, professors and students alike, looked up at the ceiling of the auditorium.

Blind ceiling.

A gigantic hole fills the ceiling of a huge auditorium where hundreds of people enter.

Empty and black as if to swallow everything.

The whale’s pupil.

When everyone’s eyes were caught by its overwhelming size.

“That was close.”

Innumerable magic circles slowly appearing while encroaching on the surrounding landscape.

It was part of the magic circle that Adele and Charlotte had drawn before practice.

And what is the role of the magic circle?

Shooooo—-

The stealing of the magical power that flew towards the white whale.

As it flew into the sky, a group of blue lights was sucked into the magic circle like dust being sucked into a vacuum cleaner.

The pupils of the white whale, which had begun to take shape, became blurry due to the magic circle greedily sucking mana.

“… ….”

Insufficient magical power to summon the White Whale.

Anastasia, who was the first to notice that, stared at Adele with a face as if asking what this was.

Adele explained with a smile.

“Absorbs magical energy in the air and uses it as if it were its own.”

The magic circle that Anastasia showed off during a group assignment one day, and was slammed.

“It’s a proper use of it.”

The summoning of the white whale failed.

Instead, the huge magic circle that filled the ceiling swallowed up all the mana and activated the designed magic.

When everyone’s eyes were focused on the ceiling.

The activated magic caught their attention.

The aurora, which creates a mysterious atmosphere, descends like a curtain, and small snowflakes are mixed in it.

The snowflakes mixed with Anastasia’s magic fell on the faces of the audience with beautiful colors and melted away.

“I never thought doing group assignments together would be so helpful.”

If it hadn’t been for the point of contact, I wouldn’t have been able to create a magic circle that responds to Anastasia’s magic through fairy tales, and I wouldn’t have come up with this idea.

Today’s stage was completed after such a long preparation period.
