Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

As soon as the teaching assistant finished speaking, Charlotte began to memorize the chant.

“Master of Mana. Give me the strength to punish the enemies who stand in my way.”

High-speed chanting (高速詠唱).

Those who are ignorant of magic may see this and ask if it’s not just talking fast.

However, high-speed chanting was on a different level from simply spitting out words quickly.

It is completed only when the image embodied in the head is maximized to materialize the spell and accelerate the mana.

If you try not to be shy for nothing, you end up in an ambiguous state where power equals power and speed equals speed. When you try to catch two rabbits, you lose both of them.

Among freshmen, those who could perform high-speed chanting were extremely rare.

Reddish mana rose from the practice wand Charlotte was holding. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and beams of light shone with a great roar.

“Thunderbolt dance!”

Kururung!

the sky screamed A bolt of lightning struck through the clouds.

once. twice.

Lightning strikes like rain without a break.

‘It’s definitely a 4-circle lightning magic, but the power is more than 5-circle.’

It was possible because he had so much magical power. In the first place, magic of that level consumes a lot of mana just by casting it. It was virtually impossible to spray it randomly like that.

It was possible because Charlotte was naturally endowed with a tremendous amount of magical power.

“die! die! die!”

Every time lightning strikes the gymnasium, the floor dents and debris shoots out as if an artillery shell has exploded.

The power itself was nothing to criticize, but… .

If it doesn’t fit, it’s of no use.

“Don’t squeal because your ears hurt.”

A sylph running through the gymnasium with body movements resembling a ghost.

From the viewer’s point of view, it was just a light flick of the foot, but it disappeared from sight as if it had been used. The thunderbolt that lost its target only destroys the training ground endlessly.

“profit! Dodging and running away!”

Protection from gale.

As a blessing bestowed by Zephiel, the god of wind and fertility, one of the 12 gods of Raphaelism, those who possess this protection can move like the wind.

Whoo!

A strong wind blew. Sylph was using spirit magic. Eden next to him shouted in admiration.

“That Elf. That’s amazing. How can you move so fast? It’s as if the air around her is only tolerant of her!”

Before we knew it, the teaching assistant who came to us kindly explained.

“You seem to have the protection of God. It also seems to know how to handle elemental magic.”

“I’ve only heard of it, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen someone with a divine protection! Assistant. Can I learn elemental magic too?”

“If you have high spirit affinity, it might be possible.”

“From now on, I must become friends with the spirits!”

The sylph, reaching Charlotte, swung the dagger in her hand.

Chew!

It was a practice dagger, so the blade was not standing, but it was good enough to strike.

Charlotte, who had cut her right arm, hurriedly cast a new spell.

“Children of Artamon dwelling in the earth. Agent of Mana Na Shal… .”

However, she was not a sylph who would just watch it quietly.

After cutting his side with his left dagger, he stretched out his hind leg using rotational power.

“Heuk!”

Charlotte let out a painful moan and rolled on the floor.

This was somewhat of an expected result.

The wizard is basically a role that is in charge of firepower. The power itself is excellent, but it takes a lot of time to cast magic.

Also, while memorizing the chant, it was no different from being defenseless.

This was the reason most wizards took the back seat in the party.

of course. There were cases like me who used magic and swords at the same time, or me who used reinforcements to engage in close combat, but these were special cases.

Therefore, it was an unwritten rule that a wizard with significantly less experience in interpersonal combat could never win a melee combat position.

Gritting her teeth, Charlotte rose from her seat and looked at Sylph with ferocious eyes.

“Hard as a rock, strong as a wave, mighty as a mountain.”

A red haze rose from her body. A circular red mana ring wrapped around both arms.

“Elementary physical strengthening.”

‘Enhancement magic?’

It was unexpected. I knew that she was a Quadruple with as many as four attributes, but she probably doesn’t have any enhancing attributes.

Just because there is no strengthening attribute doesn’t mean you can’t handle that type of magic, but it takes a long time to learn, and the power doesn’t come out as much as you think, so it’s common that most people don’t even pay attention.

Even though it was a very basic strengthening magic, the fact that she had mastered this magic was surprising.

‘I guess he wasn’t just playing around.’

Sylph looked at Charlotte with a relaxed expression.

“I heard that it is an academy where the most talented among humans gather, but is this really all… . It’s disappointing.”

Enough to wait for her to work her magic.

To a self-respecting figure like Charlotte, it was more insulting than outright provocation.

Perhaps by now she is feeling the extreme shame she has never experienced in her life.

I could tell just by looking at her face, which was dyed red as if it were going to explode at any moment.

However, something felt different this time. Rather than shouting evil as usual, wouldn’t it be calmly memorizing the chant?

“A loving mother. my land Let me follow in your footsteps. Tectonic shift.”

When the order was finished, the gymnasium vibrated violently. Then, a huge stone pillar rose around Sylph.

Sylph, noticing the change, quickly moved.

It was the same as before.

It was an area magic that covered the entire gym, but it couldn’t even brush the collar of the target, the sylph.

But Charlotte didn’t stop. Before I knew it, the stone pillars filled the entire gymnasium.

Only then did Sylph realize.

that you are trapped.

From the beginning, Charlotte did not use magic to directly hit Sylph, but to drive her into one place.

There are only stone pillars everywhere.

There was nowhere else to run.

With a smile of repentance, he clearly chanted magic.

“Wind, unrestrained by the flow, fly far away. Burn everything that stands in my way, flame. Burn hard.”

Double incantation.

A magic that combines two attributes.

Huge flames from the staff flew in the wind and filled the area around Sylph.

Is there anything more terrifying than a flame that blooms in a closed space?

When everyone predicted Charlotte would win.

John stretched out and said.

“Huh. It’s stupid to use wind magic against an elementalist… .”

An amazing thing happened.

Everyone present here must have doubted their eyes.

The huge fire that covered the surroundings split left and right like the parting of the Red Sea.

The flames were still burning fiercely, but only raged around him, as if an invisible curtain had fallen.

A sylph leaped into the air at the slightest moment.

“Sah, a person is flying in the sky!”

It wasn’t flying.

He was walking, using the air as a stepping stone. The wind was his guide. The way he walked through the air following the guide was graceful and beautiful.

wind.

He did not take the form of the wind, but the wind took his form.

he was the wind

A shudder ran through his entire body.

The sylph descended from the air and kicked Charlotte in the abdomen before placing the dagger at her neck.

“Win or lose?”

The teaching assistant, who was stunned and watched the scene, belatedly shouted.

“The winner of this sparring is a sylph!”

Charlotte got up from her seat and left the gymnasium.

The sylph came towards us and took a seat in the corner.

After crossing his legs, he said with his characteristic arrogant face.

“To be honest, I am very disappointed. It’s a waste to call it sparring.”

Hearing that, Frey spoke in a cold tone.

“Then would you like to compete with me?”

Since she is a long-time friend of Charlotte, she will not be able to tolerate such disrespectful remarks.

“You mean? Humans seem to lack the ability to learn. You can’t tell the difference between confidence and arrogance.”

Frey’s hand trembled slightly. I mean, I was genuinely angry.

Then, John opened his mouth.

“Sail Sieghart-kun… ?”

“This is Seil Sieghardt, Professor.”

It was clear that the bastard had deliberately misspelled the name.

“You fight against Sylph-kun.”

“Me?”

“yes… .”

It’s an odd suggestion, but what can I do? If the professor is black, then black.

I reluctantly got up from my seat. The teaching assistant asked Sylph.

“Are you okay, Sylph-kun?”

“However much. A lowly human being is no match for me at all.”

By this point, I was starting to get a little feverish. How do I get rid of that racist bastard?

I headed to the gymnasium with Sylph. He glanced at me and asked.

“Hey, why don’t humans choose weapons?”

“I don’t need it.”

Sylph raised an eyebrow and laughed.

“ha ha ha! I think I know why the Elder sent me here. It was to teach how ignorant humans are. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Have a good laugh.

Standing in my seat, I slowly warmed up. When I turned my shoulder, there was a loud noise.

Thinking that his body would soon make a similar sound made me smile.

‘They say it’s okay if I don’t kill them?’

A sylph shouted from afar, probably seeing my smile.

“human. If you are afraid, abstain even now. I am a merciful being.”

Instead of answering, I raised my middle finger high. You probably don’t know what that means anyway, but as long as I’m in a good mood, that’s enough.

“Body strengthening. Triple concubine.”

A circular ring of purple mana wrapped around my wrist.

‘Is it a bit excessive?’

It was the first time I had used my body properly after undergoing a bone metamorphosis, so I couldn’t even guess.

“The rules are the same as before. Now, let’s start sparring right away!”

Whoo!

Again a strong wind blew. In the blink of an eye for a moment, Sylph’s model disappeared.

I stood still, not doing anything.

Every time I closed my eyes and opened them, an afterimage of Sylph passed by.

It was foolish to follow him at such speed as he had the protection of a gale.

‘It’s possible if you pour the strengthening magic to the limit, but… .’

There was no need to go through such trouble.

In the first place, that guy and I have the worst compatibility.

“hahahaha! You’re so confident that you’re so scared that you can’t even move! I will have mercy and end it in one fell swoop!”

I could feel someone’s presence behind me. Before I could react, Sylph’s dagger stabbed me in the back.

It was like a flurry of speed.

“hahahaha! How is it! This is the proud Great Forest… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

Perhaps feeling something strange, Sylph looked at the dagger in her hand.

The training dagger made of wood was smashed to such an extent that even the shape of the original could not be recognized.

“Is it over?”

I grabbed the sylph by the nape of her neck.

No matter how fast you go, if you get caught by me, you won’t be able to move.

He lifted it up and hit the floor with a piece of paper.

thud!

Perhaps it was because of the failure to control the power, the entire gymnasium vibrated and the floor caved in.

‘Was it too strong?’

Looking at the sylph stuck in the gymnasium, it seemed that she was still conscious.

The victory condition is a condition in which the game cannot be continued under the judgment of the referee or withdrawal.

The referee hasn’t announced my victory yet. As I raised my fist to finish it off, Sylph exclaimed in an earnest voice.

“abstention! abstention! Abstain! Abstain! If you hit it, this body will die! You will surely die!”

I lowered my fist with a sad face.

I felt intense stares from far away. Yohan, who had had dead eyes until now, was staring at me with eyes that were more lively than ever.
