Possessed an Academy Security Guard

75 – 075. Midwinter’s Weakness (2)

Midnight had a talent. He was more talented than others. Also made an effort. Bae worked harder than others. Since those with talent spare no effort, it was only natural that no one could even reach the tips of their toes in midwinter.

It was obvious, but the world is not a place where only the obvious things happen.

There were a lot of geniuses like midwinter in the green house. Everyone had more talent than others, and everyone tried harder than others. However, even so, midwinter was unique. Her talent surpassed that of countless geniuses, and so did her hard work.

That’s why everyone deserves it. Mid-gyeol became the most outstanding student among the freshmen of the Green House in name and reality.

It was meant to be.

If it weren’t for the existence of a protagonist who was dotted with irrationality beyond talent and effort.

Although the entrance was ranked first, Ryu Tae-hyeon pushed Midwinter to second place. She tried to get over it somehow, but the gap seemed to widen as time went on. They tried harder and worked harder, but the gap was not narrowed.

It was unreasonable.

However, in midwinter, no one could blame the absurdity. In the eyes of others, her own existence would also be seen as unreasonable.

Midwinter was still the ground for everyone, but she was also aware of it now. Everyone looked up to her midwinter, but only Ryu Tae-hyeon looked down at her. And in mid-winter, she didn’t even pay attention to the losers who were widely around her, and she only glared fiercely at her throne where Ryu Tae-hyeon was sitting.

I wanted to win.

I would do anything to beat him. But he didn’t want to commit a cowardly trick. I wanted to overcome him squarely with my own talents, with my own efforts, with my own skills, and with all of my own. The sparring with Ahn Su-ho was part of that.

Ahn Soo-ho.

At first, she thought she was just an insignificant guard. However, in just the past month, his name has spread among students, and now it has become a name that everyone knows.

Some said he would be a retired hunter from a famous guild, while others said he would be the academy guard’s secret weapon. However, Midwinter did not believe such rumors.

‘Suho hyung? Not strong If we face each other, they’ll probably be roughly the same as me?’

However, he could only trust the words of the only man he recognized. Ryu Tae-hyeon said that Ahn Soo-ho had a level of strength similar to himself.

Then he just uses that strength. Likewise, his fighting style was similar to Ryu Tae-hyun’s, focusing on close combat, and even his superpowers were incompatible with his own ignition ability. Even if he is somewhat inferior to Ryu Tae-hyun, he will be a great practice partner. He thought so

“Then let’s check each other’s skills and start slowly. Shall I go first? Or is that first?”

“I attack first.”

Using the man in front of me as a stepping stone, I will have to overcome Ryu Tae-hyeon this time.

The moment he thought that, a red and blue light burst from Ahn Suho’s body.

‘Coming!’

-Pang!

Ahn Su-ho kicked the ground as hard as he could. 2X acceleration after consuming 1 stack of Morning Star’s Breath. The middle of winter swallowed his breath at the sight of Ahn Soo-ho narrowing the distance in an instant.

‘It’s fast, it’s fast. But… ….’

It’s definitely fast, but it couldn’t compare to Ryu Tae-hyeon. Her hand, which responded without difficulty, spewed out hot flames.

-Roaring!

Ahn Soo-ho dodged his body to the side at the raging flames. But the midwinter spark continued to pursue him. Midwinter didn’t have good enough control to control the fireworks he had already fired, but he made up for that shortfall by ignorantly shooting the fireworks.

Dozens of flames opened their mouths and swallowed the Ansuho.

-Quaaang!!!

Explosion. And dark smoke spreading thickly.

In the middle of winter, Ahn Soo-ho, who came out through the haze, smiled deeply.

“If I can’t block that much, I’m sorry!”

Ahn Soo-ho pushed the flames of the midwinter by bursting the smoke screen with all his might. Since it was a formless flame, the trajectory was twisted just by that. Some flames and heat reached him, but as a token of the frost spirit, ice encased his body to block it.

‘Even if I shoot harder, that’s enough!’

In that case, it’s enough to fire a blow that’s so strong that even that insignificant smoke screen can’t block it. The flames that rose with the momentum to reach the sky in an instant quickly began to compress around the midwinter’s right hand.

‘Suddenly start the engine.’

Seeing that change, Ahn Su-ho also began to show his full potential. Only his talisman shone brightly.

-Pain! Fain! Fain!

A chunk of black smoke shot out of Ahn Su-ho’s hand. A densely compressed, almost liquid agglomerate. The smokeballs rushed at subsonic speeds, aiming for the dead of winter.

-Flame!

However, the smoke bullets were weakly blocked by the wall of flames caused by Midwinter’s light gesture. Just as Ahn Su-ho’s smoke easily blocked the midwinter flames, her flames also easily blocked Ahn Su-ho’s smoke. Flame cannot burn smoke, and smoke cannot pierce flame. The abilities of the two were perfectly antagonistic in terms of their characteristics.

But both of them knew. Even if that nature is antagonistic, that trivial nature is useless in the face of overwhelming firepower.

-Roar!

“Huh!”

Finally, the flame that had been compressed in the right hand of midwinter was released. Ahn Soo-ho also shot a smoke screen with all his might in the waves of flames that filled the field of view in an instant.

-Quaaang!!

Clash. And fleeting antagonism.

“Oops.”

Before long, Ahn Su-ho threw his body backwards with all his might, watching the flames tear open the smoke screen he had shot and open his huge mouth. Right after that, the earth he was on was devoured by the blazing flames.

“Keuugh!”

Ahn Soo-ho, caught in the aftermath, groaned in pain. The flesh reddened by the heat was cooled by the power of the spirit. However, the pain from the burn did not go away.

“It seems that I have the upper hand in terms of firepower.”

“That’s what… ….”

Ahn Suho stuck out his tongue as he watched the midwinter grinning arrogantly. As she said, midwinter had the upper hand in a firefight. Even though his blow wasn’t his strength just now, it must be the same in midwinter. Even if they clash with each other’s power, the result will be the same as now.

‘It’s nothing new. There’s no way we can win in a firefight against Midwinter in the first place.’

She said that it wasn’t her firepower that made her superior to her. Ahn Soo-ho, who grasped the battle pattern of the midwinter, deeply lowered his stance.

“Your physical and superpowers are just mediocre. Ryu Tae-Hyun: That man is too exaggerated, right? Where on earth do you think your skills are similar to mine? ….”

“I agree with that. But… ….”

The breathing sound of the morning star that had been shining on Ahn Su-ho’s wrist emitted a stronger light in an instant.

“From now on, if you don’t pay close attention, you will get a serious nose injury.”

“Yes?”

The moment she asked, as if asking what that meant.

-Quaang!

A loud roar hit the midwinter’s ears. The moment Ahn Soo-ho recognized that it was the sound of hitting the ground, he had already reached a place deep in the arms of midwinter.

“Huh?”

A speed that could not even be compared with that of a moment ago. In terms of numbers, it’s about a fourfold difference.

Midwinter let out a small exclamation at the movement of Ahn Soo-ho, who released all the stacks of morning star’s breath at once.

“Huh!”

The next moment, the fist she threw out with all her might hit her stomach.

“How big?!”

Midwinter’s body was broken with a prayer. Above them, Ahn Su-ho’s merciless combo strikes. However, Midgeoreum immediately recovered his center and evaded his attack and let it flow.

Although Midgeoreum used to use superpower-oriented combat methods, her physical abilities and reflexes were not inferior. In the first place, she said that having a battle with ‘that Ryu Tae-hyeon’ meant that she, too, had some knowledge of her close combat.

-Pang! Phut! Fain!

“Huh!”

However, it was not enough to respond to Ahn Su-ho’s sincere series of attacks. When comparing only the simple speed, the current speed of Ahn Su-ho was faster than Ryu Tae-hyun at the time of the ranking match. In the middle of the winter, he struggled as much as possible, but allowed an effective hit to Ahn Su-ho once in three times.

‘It can’t go on like this. I have to widen the distance-!’

-Roaring!

Midwinter swung her arms across her ground, and a red wall of flame rose along its trajectory. Ahn Su-ho marveled at the wall of flame that spread from side to side in an instant.

‘Even though the fireworks were shot in a hurry, it was this much. Certainly, one firepower has already exceeded the student level.’

Perhaps, among those with firepower, if you hit firepower, you will be counted among the top three in Korea. With a thin layer of ice on his skin in the scorching heat, he bypassed the wall of flame.

Just like that, the moment he completely bypassed the wall.

-Quaang!

Red flames exploded on the ground on his path.

– Bang! Bang! Quaang! Quaang! Kwaaang!

The midwinter, which had been waiting for Ahn Su-ho to come out, continuously shot out flames. However, it was far from catching up with the speed of Ahn Su-ho, which accelerated at 8 times. At least if she used various trajectories or even faked it, she honestly only fired flames with straight trajectories.

‘Suddenly at this point!’

Ahn Soo-ho, who easily avoided the flames, spurred the ground and exploded smoke in all directions. The midwinter vision turns black in an instant.

“This is a trick!”

The sparks raised by the dead of winter immediately dispelled the smoke screen. However, Ahn Soo-ho had already approached her at close range. In order to block his approach, and once again to widen the distance, Midwyeol tried to shoot fireworks at Ansuho.

-Pain!

“Kuh?!”

However, a smoke bullet shot by Ahn Su-ho ricocheted off her arm. The amount of impact was insignificant, but the trajectory of her arm was shaken, so the sparks fired flew in the direction of Ammon. Midwinter chewed her lips and pulled her back, while she again gathered sparks in her grasp and fired them.

-Pain!

“Keuugh!”

But it was the same this time. A lump of smoke flew in half a beat and bounced off her arm again. Her sparks shot through empty space.

Midwinter stepped behind her, and she tried to launch fireworks several times, but each time she was blocked by Ahn Su-ho’s interference. Ahn Soo-ho only hit Midwinter’s arm with a pinpoint, as if joking around. As if she was showing off her ability to control her own superior to her.

Soon, even in the middle of winter, he vaguely noticed Ahn Su-ho’s intentions. Her arrogance forced her to ignite as she chewed on her lips.

-Roaring!

The surroundings of midwinter burned all at once. Ahn Su-ho, who withdrew while minimizing the damage with the power of the frost spirit, licked his lips as if regretting it.

“Heo Eok. Huh Eok. Huh.”

The midwinter, barely widening the distance, forced her to breathe heavily. It was a matter of mental pressure, not physical strength, for her. Originally, she prefers to fight with her powerful firepower, not allowing her enemies to approach. However, as Ahn Soo-ho approached her several times, avoiding her fire, the mental pressure was not the only one.

Mid-winter felt a strange familiarity with Ahn Su-ho. It was a familiar pressure, a familiar irritation.

Yes, even though he shoots sparks as he is, he approaches Tae-hyeon from a distance and forces close combat.

A fishy smile caught the corners of Midwinter’s mouth at that thought.

“…… Now I think I know what Ryu Tae-hyun said. You, not as strong as him, but he is just as annoying as him.”

Objectively, Ryu Tae-hyeon was much stronger than Ahn Su-ho. Although it is said that Ahn Su-ho was briefly ahead of him in speed, if Ryu Tae-hyeon exerts his full power, he will soon overtake him as well. Not to mention, other than speed, Ahn Soo-ho’s other physical abilities or overall combat sense would not reach even Ryu Tae-hyeon’s toes.

However, unlike Ryu Tae-hyun, who straightforwardly charges with her physical abilities, Ahn Su-ho used her own superpowers in the right place and harassed Midwinter. Because of this, despite the fact that the opponent in front of her was not as strong as Ryu Tae-hyeon, she felt the same annoyance and pressure as when dealing with him.

“…… But in the end it’s just annoying. No matter how generously I try to treat him, he is not at the level of Ryu Tae-hyun.”

“You speak well on a subject that is unilaterally swayed.”

“Did you just tell the truth?”

– Hwareuk!

In the middle of winter, sparks rose from both hands. The fiercely rising flames gradually begin to compress into her grasp.

“If you are dissatisfied with my words, where did you try to take this blow from the front like that man once?”

It was an obvious provocation. However, An Su-ho shrugged his shoulders and accepted the provocation. Originally, she had to approach her quickly before she gathered all her sparks, but Ahn Su-ho stood face to face with her, lowered her posture and began to gather her smoke.

Haeng-gyeol and Ahn Su-ho’s abilities are both emission systems and have similar properties. For example, there is a limit to the firepower that both of them can fire instantly, and in order to exert more firepower, they must go through the process of compressing the elements.

That’s why mid-gyeol immediately recognized what Ahn Su-ho’s actions meant. He was gathering smoke in front of himself gathering sparks. The meaning was extremely simple.

Head-to-head.

A fishy smile hung on Midwinter’s lips. Ahn Su-ho’s absurd behavior made her laugh, saying that she was dumbfounded.

“…… I’m surprised. I never thought you would fall for such an obvious provocation.”

“I skipped it on purpose. What we are doing now is not a fight to the death, but sparring for students in the middle of winter.”

“What do you mean?”

“When you lose, even if you lose, you have to do everything you want to do and lose, wouldn’t it be unfair?”

“Huh.”

At that tone, as if he was looking down on himself, the midwinter brow wrinkled. The flames gathering in her hands begin to change from red to blue gradually.

Midwinter intended to unleash her own full firepower. A scorching wave comparable to the dragon’s breath used in the double dungeon the other day. Ahn Su-ho also noticed that fact right away.

If it was her nature, I would have to rush in and interrupt her before all her sparks were gathered. Even so, the reason Ahn Su-ho dared to fight her head-on was purely to give her an overwhelming defeat.

‘The midwinter type is the type who learns more from failure than from steady training. Ryu Tae-hyeon would have thought that Midwyeol would be able to recognize and correct his weaknesses by watching me fight, but that high-nosed Midwyeol couldn’t do that.’

There is no way that she, who is united by her pride, will try to learn anything from her others. To fix her attitude, she had to first destroy that pride through her defeat.

Ego is already on the verge of collapsing after being defeated by Ryu Tae-hyun several times. Her defeat given by Ahn Soo-ho will completely destroy her pride and give her an opportunity to look back on herself.

-Kiyiying!

From the grip of the midwinter that finally gathered all the sparks, a bright blue glowing mine was born. A mass of super-heated energy that was born after compressing her flame to the limit.

The amount of energy contained in that mine was not at a level that could be offset by Ansuho’s maximum firepower, black smoke. It would be impossible to twist the trajectory even if he abused Talisman as much as he could and shot smoke.

“… ….”

Having guessed that obvious fact, Midwyeol hesitated for a while holding onto the mine. In a fit of anger, she created a photosphere, but if she fired it, something irreversible would happen to the man in front of her.

“What are you doing? Without shooting.”

However, Ahn Su-ho seemed to pose no threat. So she said, with her right hand drooping, which radiated a brilliant blue flash.

“You’ll survive on your own, so just shoot.”

“…… You brought it upon yourself, so don’t be resentful.”

After saying that, Midwinter finally liberated the mine.

The enormous energy released from compression exploded all at once. The blue flames that spread in an instant swept across the vast field like a huge tidal wave. In the middle of winter, I tightly closed my eyes at that intense flash, at the hot wind hitting my cheeks.

Just before liberating the block, she deliberately turned her attack to the side. It was because he thought that An Su-ho would never be able to take this blow from the front. Still, the unleashed flames literally wiped out everything in front of her.

‘Still, he turned sideways, so he wouldn’t die.’

Midwinter thought. In addition to Ahn Su-ho’s psychic powers, the ability to handle the mysterious ice. On top of that, she was wearing a reinforced defensive coat, so she wouldn’t be dead.

She said that even if she wasn’t dead, she would be seriously injured, so let’s call her medical immediately.

The midwinter that thought so inwardly finally opened her closed eyes gently.

That moment.

“Rider Kick!”

“Keheup?!”

Ahn Soo-ho’s kick struck her in the chest unexpectedly, causing her body to fall to the ground with a bang.

“Is it louder or louder?”

“I told you. I know I will survive.”

Ahn Suho smirked as he watched Midwinter panicked by the blunt shock. Midwinter, who had fallen to the ground, looked up at him with astonished eyes.

‘…… How?’

A deep sense of bewilderment flashes in his eyes.

Midwinter thought. Could it be that he received his special move from the front and endured it? However, Ahn Su-ho, who looked down at himself with a happy smile, had no burns on his body, let alone a small trace of soot. No matter how much he withstood his own attack, could he still be fine? Her embarrassment deepens.

“Uh, how did you survive. He can be fine? No. Are you hurt? Why, why not?”

The horse got twisted around in an unexpected situation. Ahn Su-ho grinned at the midwinter, when he forgot to even stand up because he was so embarrassed.

“I will explain what happened later. First of all, I’ll assume I won the first match.”

“Yes? Oh yes…….”

At that, Midori nodded her head with a bewildered expression.

Like that, the first confrontation with Ahn Su-ho in midwinter ended with her defeat.

Despite her defeat, her head was filled with bewilderment rather than resentment.
