Chapter 19 – 18. Change
After Arthur’s sparring was over, Adele began to praise Arthur highly.
“What a talent! “When I was in first grade, I had never even heard of dispel!”
‘This dispel is something that only a very small number of wizards can do, so if you come as a battle wizard in the future, you should definitely bring it to us!’
Adele’s reaction was natural.
Dispel is a technique that destroys magic that has already been manifested, and the method is simple. In all manifested magic, there is a ‘center’ to maintain the magic. In other words, if you find it and destroy it, you can destroy the magic.
However, no matter how easy the magic was, finding the center was not easy, and the higher the level of magic, the closer to impossible it becomes, so the difficulty increases exponentially.
Even if you are lucky enough to find it, destroying the center of the manifested magic ‘directly’ is another story.
Of course, if you are at the level of the battle wizards fighting on the front lines, you can easily destroy the magic of these newbies, but dispelling someone of similar level to yourself like Arthur is almost impossible.
‘The talent to find the center of magic as soon as you see it, and the ability to put this into action and destroy it!’
Adele continued to admire herself and sent Arthur to the audience.
Afterward, a confrontation ensued between the winners.
Arthur also played a few more matches. And no one could stop Arthur’s dispel, and Arthur, who continued to win, was able to reach the semifinals before he knew it.
At that time, Arthur heard Adele’s voice announcing the start of the semifinals, and he could see his field of vision change to the stadium.
When I looked to the other side, I could see Anthony standing.
Arthur immediately drew a line on the floor, and at the same time, two magic missiles flew out.
ㅡSuddenly!
Arthur, who had dispelled two magic missiles with a single horizontal slash, looked straight ahead and heard Anthony’s voice in his ears.
“Ha. I guess surprise attacks don’t work after all.”
“But I can’t lose.”
Antony performed a double chant and fired two fireballs, and Arthur waited for the fireballs to cross the line to dispel.
“!!”
However, contrary to Arthur’s expectations, the fireball was not aimed at Arthur, but at the dirt floor in front of him.
ㅡKwaang!
Dust rose in front of Arthur’s eyes and began to obscure his vision.
“Magic Missile.”
Hearing the sound and seeing the invisible sight, Arthur eventually threw himself to the right to avoid her.
ㅡShuung!
A magic missile was seen hitting the spot where Arthur was standing just now.
‘Hehe… What you can’t see is the same for the other person. ‘Now I have to gamble!’
Arthur, making up his mind, began to rush through the dust, and Antony, whose vision was blocked, also continued to fire magic missiles, but failed to hit Arthur.
In the end, Antony, who allowed the distance, was defenselessly exposed to Arthur’s sword attack.
“It’s over.”
The sword moved horizontally at the same time as Arthur spoke, but Antony’s expression was calm. As if you were sure you wouldn’t get cut.
“Protect.”
ㅡKang!
Arthur saw his sword bouncing around. Looking in front of him, he saw that the shield that had formed on Antony had completely blocked his sword.
“Huh.?”
Antony said, looking at Arthur in confusion.
“Sorry. “The only way I could defeat you was with this cowardly method.”
The wand points towards Arthur at the same time as the horse.
“Fireball.”
A magic circle that was instantly completed centered around the wand appeared before Arthur’s eyes.
“.?”
However, as time passed, the fireball did not appear, and in Antony’s field of vision, he suddenly saw Arthur stabbing his magic circle with his sword.
ㅡPass…
Antony saw a magic circle disappearing around Arthur’s sword.
“… I never thought they would reverse the magic circle and attack the weak part in that short period of time.”
“It’s a complete defeat… I didn’t think there was someone capable of something like this…”
Of course, Anthony, who did not give up the match until the end, swung his fist at Arthur, but Arthur, who dodged his punch and broke the protector, was able to win from Anthony.
ㅡBeep!
“It was a really great game. If you look at the psychological warfare alone, I don’t think it would have been inferior to the current player.?”
Arthur, who returned to the audience with Adele’s praise, was watching the next game.
‘Fabian.’
So far, Fabian has not used any magic other than magic missiles. However, no one could win against Fabian due to the overwhelming difference in firepower of the triple chant.
ㅡBeep!
This time too, I thought the opponent would hold out a little, but in the end, he was defeated by Fabian’s magic missile.
At that time, I heard Adele’s excited voice.
“Now it’s the finals? I’m really looking forward to seeing who will win! Well then, let’s get started right away. Yap!”
With Adele’s words, the vision began to change once again, and Arthur, thinking of Fabian’s surprise attack, quickly drew a line on the floor.
ㅡPish!
ㅡPish!
ㅡPish!
As expected, the magic missiles flew in with a delay, but Arthur calmly dispelled them all.
As soon as I blocked them all, I heard Fabian’s voice.
“I’ve never even heard of a talent like yours in my family… If you had been able to use magic, there would have been no way to win or lose.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fabian’s expression was seen to become serious, and a chant was heard.
“Ice Spear.”
The ice spear that appeared in the air flew towards Arthur at high speed.
‘Hey, this! It’s so fast you can’t stop it! You must avoid it.’
Arthur quickly threw himself to the side and barely succeeded in dodging. But the sound of chanting was heard once again.
“Ice Spear.”
“Pfft!”
‘If you keep avoiding it like this, there will be no end to it. What should I do?’
At that time, the image of an ice spear appeared in Arthur’s eyes.
‘I can’t dispel it because of its speed, but since it seems light and thin, I think I can deflect it with a sword if I’m good at it.’
Arthur immediately put her thoughts into action.
“Ice Spear.”
ㅡTung!
Arthur succeeded in deflecting the flying ice spear with his sword face, and Fabian also felt embarrassed, perhaps because he had not expected this.
ㅡTung!
ㅡTung!
Arthur deflects the attack and approaches Fabian step by step.
But Fabian did not just sit by and watch this.
“If I do this, I should do it with all my heart.”
“Freezing.”
As Fabian chanted, Arthur’s feet began to freeze, and the floor quickly became slippery, making it impossible for him to move.
At that time, a sound of despair came to Arthur’s ears.
“Ice Spear.”
Unlike before, three ice spheres were seen forming.
In the end, Arthur, who was moving vigorously and avoiding or blocking, ran out of stamina and allowed Fabian’s attack.
ㅡBeep!
“The winner is Fabian! It was a perfect match~”
As she spoke, Adele moved the wand, and the surrounding area began to turn into an empty space again.
“Then, starting tomorrow, I will teach you according to each person’s level! That’s it for today’s class! See you tomorrow~”
After saying that, Adele was seen humming and disappearing.
Exhausted, Arthur collapsed to the floor.
“Whew… It was really hard…”
At that time, I heard someone coming next to me.
“. Fabian?”
Fabian speaks, extending his hand to Arthur.
“It was a good match.”
Arthur, holding my hand, stood up and spoke.
“What… You said you were more amazing? “I never thought I would use those magics already.”
Looking around, I noticed that other students’ perspectives on Arthur had changed a lot.
Negative views such as ridicule and dismissal had turned into surprise, envy, and envy.
After that day, no one made fun of Arthur or ignored him anymore.
…
“Arthur? “You seem to be in a good mood these days, huh?”
“Huh! Life at the academy has been so much fun these days, and now I have a friend!”
“Okay? “What’s your name?”
“They are Fabian and Antony!”
“I see. “Thank goodness.”
“… What?”
“Because there is no girl’s name?”
“…”
Aris stroked Arthur’s head and whispered in her ear.
“Arthur, you know that all women are wolves, right? Everyone has to be careful except me.”
“… I think you should be careful these days, too.?”
“? It’s okay because I’m your girlfriend. And you are mine.”
Arthur looked at Aris with a puzzled look on her face.
“Since when did I belong to you?”
“From the beginning.? And Arthur, if you become friends with another woman, I don’t know how I’ll change. Please be careful?”
“Yeah…”
She lamented to herself that Arthur would not be able to make a friend of the opposite sex for her in this life. Aris continued talking as if he didn’t know what Arthur was thinking.
“Right! Arthur, do you remember that day is soon?”
Arthur tilted his head at Aris’ incomprehensible sound.
“Soon.? “I don’t know. What day is it?”
Aris said with a surprised expression at Arthur’s answer.
“No, you don’t remember? “It’s the day you mentioned.”
“?”
“I don’t know, so tell me quickly!”
“You really don’t know? Then I should keep it to myself~”
Then she saw Aris starting to grin to himself.
‘Well, I guess it’s just an anniversary, right?’
Arthur, who thought it wouldn’t be such an important day, quickly forgot Aris’ words.
