Academy’s Curse Champion 66

Chapter 66 – 64. Master of the Black Moon

Even though Aris knew that the president was stronger than him, he thought he could easily win.

This is carelessness or arrogance.

Confidence that even an archmage would not be able to respond to his skills that have already been deployed.

Yes, it was confidence.

I was confident that I had achieved the ultimate in speed.

I didn’t think there would be anyone in real life who could stop this, unless it was at the level of the demon lord I met during the ordeal.

That was a defeat.

Whoop!

A fist splits the air.

It was clear where the president was standing, but the president’s image disappeared the moment his fist touched it, like a mirage in the desert.

When Aris realized that the surprise attack had failed, she was upset on the inside, but she did not show it on the outside.

Basically, a surprise attack is a technique that allows you to win depending on the situation even if the opponent is stronger than you.

But the fact that it didn’t work meant that the skill gap with the opponent was much larger than expected.

Since Aris was also aware of this, he decided to take advantage of the gap that had arisen.

I don’t know what kind of magic the president used, but I predicted that Aris would have used teleportation, a technique that transcends space, or illusion magic that deceives the opponent through illusion.

In that case, the opponent’s magic attack, which will take advantage of the small gap created by the failure of the surprise attack, will be behind you, or above and below.

However, considering the special situation inside the building, he decided that it was highly likely that he would face backwards.

Therefore, Aris immediately put his hand to the sword at his waist,

Thunder Dragon Nine Type – Type 2 Thunder Strike

As soon as the sword was struck, the thunderous sword energy emitted from the sword was drawn horizontally, aiming at the back.

If the president was behind him as Aris predicted, it was a technique he used with the intention of splitting his body in two along with magic.

Suddenly-!

A clean cutting sound is heard.

Unfortunately, it was the sound of the ceiling being cut off.

“You use more sophisticated technology than I thought.”

As expected, the attack flew towards the president.

Just before it hit, the flying sword suddenly changed direction to the ceiling. Without any foreshadowing.

Is this possible?

Is it a monster.?

Aris took advantage of the momentary lull and used the status window.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Name: Flora Lucrecia

[Abilities]

Stamina-31

Strength-27

Dexterity-32

Magic attribute-87

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

What stands out is the magic attribute figure.

At this time, it was not enough to simply look at the numbers.

Because there was a big problem with the status window.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

[Status window (S-)]

-Otherworldly abilitiesImitated SkillYou can appraise most things.

-It is a gift filled with the goddess’s favor.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

I didn’t know until I met a wizard or paladin, the reason why my grade was given a minus.

The point was that the information delivery in the status window was not as good as expected.

The strength of the paladins is also related to the divine power they possess, but I could not find any information about the divine power in the status window.

The strength of a wizard is proportional to the circle, but like a knight, it is expressed in magical power, making it impossible to obtain an objective indicator.

Fortunately, according to Aris’s experience, the magic power value displayed in the wizard’s status window was related to the circle, so it was possible to determine the approximate level.

The first digit of the magic power tends to represent the circle, and the last digit tends to represent the circle’s proficiency, so the number 87 shows that the level of the general is quite high among the 8 circles.

Circle 8.

As far as Aris knew, it was the highest level a wizard could reach.

Even in the Empire, the 8th Circle was referred to as the highest level and called the Great Wizard, and historically, the number of the 8th Circle was not large.

At most, there were two people per generation, usually the current Mage Tower owner and the former Mage Tower owner.

Of course, there were three people, which is unusual in this era, and the reason for this was the irregular Flora Lucrecia.

‘A self-taught genius of the century who rose to the 8th circle, and an archmage called the master of the dark moon.’

This was exactly the information Aris knew.

The status of a magic tower lord that only the 8th circle can have.

A person who was born as a commoner, proved his ability, and was given a title directly by the emperor, with a hereditary status under the name of teacher and disciple.

It is said that when she fights with all her heart, her black moon rises, giving her the nickname Lord of the Black Moon.

‘Well, he’s a wizard.’

I thought Aris had judged objectively.

A wizard is essentially a being who destroys enemies from a distance.

If the swordsman is right in front of you, it is difficult to use magic with destructive power, so it is correct to assume that you have actually lost.

The reason why he couldn’t overwhelm right now was because he couldn’t do his best due to the limited space inside the academy, and he judged that the space itself, the president’s office, was already very disadvantageous to him.

Because we don’t know what preparations the wizard has made in his space.

Because while Aris acknowledged that her opponent was superior, she thought she would win if she gave her all.

“Looking at your expression, I guess you’re not happy with the results.”

“Yes. This is indoors, so I am at a huge disadvantage. “If it had been a larger space, I wouldn’t have felt so helpless.”

I’m not saying I’ll win.

She said she didn’t show any power, but neither did her opponent.

However, she decided that at a critical moment, she would catch Flora off guard and score her effective hit.

“Do you think the results would be different if it were a larger area? Rather, because it was indoors, you could have attacked me.”

It was obvious.

In Flora’s eyes, Aris is only at the level of being a senior at the academy.

“Then let’s fight in a wide area. I will prove it with my skills.”

“You’re cocky. “Insolent.”

Flora’s tone was disapproving, but the corners of her mouth actually turned up.

“But I already gave you a chance. “My time is very expensive, so why give you a second chance anyway?”

I had to convince them well here.

If things went wrong, escaping from the academy could have been completely lost.

“Then, when I lose, no matter what you order me to do just once in return, I will obey you unconditionally.”

“Hmm. I feel too bad for having to spend my time.”

Is it a failure.?

If this happens, you can just escape by force.

“Well, it might not be bad for entertainment.”

“If you lose and plan to run away without keeping your promise, it would be better to give up. Because I can fill the mana restraint and throw you in prison faster than you can run away.”

Aris was relieved to get her second chance, but she was strangely ominous.
It didn’t matter if I won, but if I lost, I would have to say that I felt like I would be given very terrible orders.

It’s okay if you don’t follow it, right?

Promises are meant to be broken.

If you die anyway, there is no need to protect it.

“Then I will move the location, so don’t refuse.”

Aris left Flora’s magic wrapped around her body as it was.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a green meadow she had never seen before.

As she looked around and could not see any buildings, she could sense that she was quite far from the capital.

Now all I can see is Flora standing about 300 meters away.

Looking at her waving her hands, it seemed like her lead had given in.

“Whoa.”

Maybe last chance.

She was a little scared, thinking that if she lost again, she might die without seeing Arthur.

“But we can’t stop here.”

Aris gathered her heart and moved her mana.

Just like Arthur told me.

The electric current that only came out when she used her skills began flowing from her entire body just by breathing.

A body that feels as light as a feather.

As I took a step, a wave of electricity spread calmly across the ground I stepped on.

Chijijiji-!!!

All the mana created inside suddenly turned into electric current and gradually accelerated in a circle, growing exponentially in size.

When I took another step, unlike before, the current spread wildly and burned up all the surrounding grass.

Cheeeeek-!

When the ring inside the nose stops growing.

The blue current increased in density and turned white.

Aris looked as if she had been engulfed in white flame.

Flora, who was watching this quietly, also immediately noticed the change in Aris.

Although he was standing still, unlike just a second ago, the current did not burn the surrounding grass, and the current that had always leaked out little by little due to a problem with mana management skill was not flowing out at all now.

“It’s a level of mana control that even Royal Knights can’t do properly.”

Flora was purely amazed at the fact that she was controlling her mana almost perfectly.

She would have been better if she had been a wizard.
Or, since she is young, should I destroy Mana’s core and make her a disciple?

“Did you say Aris? I’ll admit, that level of genius isn’t common. You deserve to see my unique magic.”

If someone who knew Flora saw this, this was a surprising statement.

The number of people who actually saw Flora’s unique magic was less than 10 people in total.

In other words, while she acknowledged Aris’s skills, she also showed the bare minimum of courtesy towards a genius like herself.

“Of course, it might be too much for a young chick who can’t control her own strength yet.”

A wand pointing towards the sky.

At the same time, a black moon, a black sphere that contrasted with Flora’s blonde hair, appeared in the sky.

When I first remembered it, it was about the size of a fist, but I could see her body expanding in size by the second.

Aris quickly moved her feet, thinking that she couldn’t let her size grow any longer.

The goal is Flora.

Trusting her intuition that it would not be a good idea to touch her unknown black sphere, Aris ran at her full speed towards Flora, who was standing still.

With the distance narrowing in an instant, Aris had to make a decision about her attack method.

Stab or cut.

Among these, the one with the highest probability of success was stabbing.

Most people couldn’t even react to attacks using flash attacks.

But there were variables. That means Flora has already avoided her flashbacks.

Of course, current technology has become incomparably more powerful than before, but there was a possibility that the same method would not work.

If you were to catch a glimpse, you could be counterattacked due to the gap that got bigger as the technology became more powerful.

However, I was concerned about the technique of bending the trajectory of the incoming attack before I could cut it.

Although there were other technologies,

These are not things that can be used in the current situation.

There are preparation movements and things that can only be used in certain situations.

In the end, what Aris chose was stabbing.

She used a lightning strike and swung her sword, aiming for Flora’s heart.

In a split second, Aris saw the tip of her sword pointed at Flora and foresaw her victory.

In fact, she felt nothing at all from the tip of her sword. It was as if she had stabbed the air.

She quickly turned around and looked at where Flora was standing, and she could see that her sword was standing in the path of her attack.

How?

Mind manipulation? Or is it called illusion magic?

Several guesses came to mind, but I dismissed them all.

Because I was saying that the presence of the black sphere floating above Flora’s head was not fake.

“The more I look at it, the more surprising it is. Usually you can’t even come close.”

Fortunately, I didn’t lose anything.

First of all, from the fact that no follow-up attack came, it was clear that Flora in that state had no time to attack.

The fact that he was taking time to talk now proved this.

In that case, what we need to do now is indiscriminate attack.

“I don’t know how you did it, but let’s try to block this too.”

Thunder Dragon Nine Type – Type 2 Thunder Strike

A sword made of white thunderbolts flew towards Flora with a destructive power that was incomparable to before.

“As expected.”

And just as ‘expected’, the attack curved towards the sky.

To confirm her hypothesis, Aris fired three more slashes, and she was able to come to one conclusion.

It’s not about blocking or avoiding attacks.

The attack’s path has changed, and it is flowing.

Is it bending space?

It’s a defense that can truly be called invincible.

“It looks like you can’t move in that condition.”

“I’m afraid that if I even move, it might be at a disadvantage to you. “It’s a handicap of its own.”

Is it a lie? Is it true?

You can check it yourself.

Nowadays, you can also use techniques that require a long preparation time.

Since her sphere was still growing, Aris wasted no time in gathering mana into her sword.

Instead of a sharply forged shape like when she uses a lightning charm, the mana of the thunderbolt creates a ring shape around the sword.

And when the number of rings increases so much that the entire blade of the sword is covered.

Thunder Dragon Nine Style – Type 8, Ten Thunder

As Aris swung her sword sharply towards Flora, the rings of her lightning came out.

A huge amount of condensed lightning exploded and struck Flora.

A series of loud noises were heard from the location directly hit by the attack.

If it had been an ordinary opponent, it would have been an attack that would not have even left a corpse, but Aris could tell that Flora was still intact despite the attack.

This is because the sphere floating in the sky did not stop at all, but increased in size and showed off its presence.

“This is truly amazing. I’m not a wizard, I’m a swordsman. “I never thought the day would come when I would praise the academy cadets.”

It was much better than expected.

I was planning to cancel the sphere’s casting by causing even a little bit of damage or at least disrupting my concentration.

“But unfortunately, such attacks cannot be stopped against me.”

It is unreasonable strength.

“You were planning to catch me off guard, right? But we have already won and lost. “My magic is complete.”

The sphere has now grown so large that it even blocks the sun.

There was no longer any chance of winning.

Therefore, she pointed the tip of her sword toward the ground as a sign of surrender.

It wasn’t a situation where defeat would lead directly to death or prevent you from meeting Arthur.

“Have you given up? Then what should I order.”

“Okay! What I want is for you to never leave the academy until you graduate. That is my order.”

Huh.?

That doesn’t work.?

I have to leave quickly…

“Can’t it be something else? “I will do anything.!”

Although the request was servile, Flora actually laughed as if it was fun.

“Nope? There’s a reason you have to go out. “I know you are the same as me, but I need to take this opportunity to change my habits.”

Did you say it was a shameful crime?

What Flora said was half-joking.

It was okay to say that she was upset by Aris, who she genuinely thought could beat her.

Of course, the problem was that Aris, considering Flora’s serious expression and social status, did not think she was joking.

Creep-

She was playing with it from the beginning.
Maybe this is punishment too.

So should I apologize in death, Arthur?

I wanted to see her face one last time.

I guess that’s it for me.

Dedeudeudeuk-

“Hoo? “Do you want to try more?”

The last remaining skill. Equation 9.

My body may not be able to withstand using it now that I have used up a lot of mana.

Rather than dying slowly and dying anyway, it would be better to try something and die…!

Secure your feet firmly on the ground and move your mana as you learned.

Unnecessary parts are removed, and the path is modified in real time according to the properties of mana.

-How is it? Can you feel it?

-Uh… I’m not sure. It feels different and more difficult than before…

-You have talent, so if you give it time, you will succeed. So, just remember one thing.

Cutting down the concept.

I continued to use Mana while pondering Hilia’s words that passed by like a flash.

Gradually-

The sword that seemed about to be swung resonated with the shaking atmosphere and made a sound.

“You.!”

Wood-duk-

A strange sound was heard from the body, which had already exceeded its limit.

“You act like you have multiple lives.”

Aris ignored Flora’s words and swung her sword.
At the same time as I felt tremendous pain, I lost consciousness as the black moon split in half swallowed everything in sight.
