Chapter 56 – Entrance Ceremony (5)
What are the odds of a wizard winning a 1:1 fight with a warrior?
There are no official statistics, but I think it’s about 20%.
My win rate was like that when I fought my wife in the past.
Warriors do not know how to do anything except fight back, but they can use their abilities to the fullest even when alone, but they are not wizards.
Instead of being versatile in many ways, you can’t display 100% of your abilities alone.
Why?
Because magic inevitably takes time to manifest.
It’s not a problem when you enter a dungeon because you have friends who will buy you time, but in 1:1 it’s a very big disadvantage.
In particular, the disadvantages are more noticeable against warriors with very fast and strong physical abilities.
I guess it’s an unavoidable difference.
But as I said, my win rate was 80%.
Even with the advantage of the opposite sex on his back, he was defeated twice out of ten fights.
The cause of the defeat was the wizard’s preparation in advance.
Among the magic, there is a magic called Memorize.
It’s the same thing you’re familiar with, as it often appears in old mass-produced fantasy novels.
The bar abilities they have are similar.
Depending on the level of magic power, you can cast magic in advance and save it, and take it out when you need it.
That was the secret to her .200 win rate.
Setting up an extraordinary magic combination and pushing me when I can’t respond, making me lose without being able to do anything.
That’s the only strategy a mage can win against a warrior.
The reason I thought I was fucked was also there.
Despite the fact that the professor of the warrior profession suddenly stepped out to control the situation, he dared to remove his cover and reveal his identity.
Even though the fact that mages were pushed 1:1 by warriors was nothing short of a theory.
So, watching him stand out confidently, I have no choice but to think that way, at least in my common sense line.
Ah, that kid must have prepared something huge.
So he said he thought it was fucked up….
What is that rushing movement to run away?
“Why did he leave?”
One-sided airlifting is taking place.
The professor constantly attacks, and the wizard breaks into a cold sweat avoiding and blocking it.
“Aww!”
Wooow
Every time the middle-aged professor swings his fist, the auditorium vibrates with the sound of the wind.
“Kuh… , Ship, barrier!”
The professor’s fist is blocked by the translucent membrane that has formed in front of his eyes.
But the attack did not end there.
Apart, threesome.
The fierce hitting sound that resonated in succession eventually shattered the intermediate magic barrier.
“… Is this a new method of suicide?”
If this continues, the result is obvious.
In a long-term battle, the warrior has no choice but to have the upper hand.
No matter how much the trend these days is a wizard with a healthy body, it cannot be compared to a warrior who has dedicated his life to physical training.
When your stamina is low, your breathing becomes rough.
When breathing becomes rough, it means that breathing becomes very unstable, which causes a decrease in concentration.
In that case, it was only natural that the magic casting speed would increase.
“Are you really not there?”
It’s strange.
If you came out with confidence, you should have at least one special move, and you should have it out by now.
If I don’t take it out now, I don’t think there will be any more red flags coming.
“… Something is bothering me.”
The guy breathes heavily and struggles, but he doesn’t look impatient.
When one’s own life is at stake, how can a person be so aloof?
I know because I went through death several times, but it wasn’t easy.
“Then what?”
Suddenly, I began to think that this situation was too contrived.
“Okay….”
All of this was accomplished by the guy revealing his identity.
I honestly don’t understand from there.
Why did you reveal
If I had stayed still, I would have been in a position where I wouldn’t even have a look of doubt.
“If there was a reason to reveal my identity….”
Now, let’s think calmly.
If he hadn’t revealed his identity, what would have happened after that?
“… There must have been an extensive search operation.”
The exit was blocked as soon as some of the association’s staff went outside to support.
That means there’s a spy watching it inside, and she must have started investigating everyone to find him.
“Ah.”
Maybe he wanted to stop the search operation.
What if you made it so that the situation would not come to you by revealing your identity and drawing everyone’s attention?
“It means someone else is here.”
He turned off the aggro to avoid revealing the identity of someone else who might be hiding somewhere here.
“What is it?”
Wizards are treated as high-class resources everywhere, but who is the person who has to hide while using such resources as bait?
No, the character may not be important.
Maybe the mission that person has to perform is just as important.
I don’t know what the mission is, but I thought that now was the perfect timing to undertake it.
A-level warriors and wizards are fighting in front of their eyes, aren’t they dazzling?
Most of the personnel are preoccupied with watching it, and there is a high probability that they are not even interested in what other people are doing.
“Tsk tsk.”
Look at me, that one.
All the association employees, who need to be vigilant about the stockholders, are all immersed in it.
I couldn’t have imagined something like that at the time, but the world has improved a lot.
That’s why there must be at least one senior commander.
“Then I have to find it, what?”
While this was a good time for a secret mission, it was also the easiest moment to find him.
While everyone is distracted, we only have to pick out those who act differently.
By the way.
“… Aren’t you?”
I’m focusing on the battle between the two without missing anything.
Except for Yoon Ji-an, who at least looks around once in a while, it is literally annihilation, annihilation.
“I can’t do that….”
It is clear that the wizard had some ulterior motive behind such a courageous step forward.
Otherwise, isn’t there any reason to trudge in front of death?
“Ah!”
Then, suddenly, I remembered another possibility that I had been missing.
What if the plot he prepared was not a person, but a thing?
“Thing.”
My gaze naturally turned to the podium.
The place where he stayed the longest, the lectern with the microphone on it.
I went straight past the special admissions students and headed for the lectern on top of the podium.
The moment I checked under the lectern, which only the person standing in front of me could see.
“Bingo.”
I finally found the answer.
A soft blue light emanates from a large box placed inside the lectern.
A ray of magic that only I can see.
When I opened the box, there was a magic stone in it.
A magic crystal in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the size of two bricks joined together, with a very deep and clean blue color.
As soon as I saw it, I frowned.
“Isn’t this S-class?”
Judging from the color or whatever, it seems clear that it is an S-class magic stone.
“Why is this….”
The blue light was coming out of the magic crystal.
And the light is steadily flowing in one direction.
Right under the ground we stand on.
“Under the ground….”
I put my hand on the stem of the magical power that went under the ground.
It is felt.
How the magical energy is flowing under the ground and moving.
Draw the route you feel as it is in your head.
The moment the outline of the painting was revealed to some extent, I realized that the situation was going in a bad direction.
“This….”
When I pictured the flow under the ground in my head, a magic circle was created.
An enormous size that encompasses the entire auditorium.
I must have seen it somewhere, but what was it?
“Hey, student. What are you doing there now?”
Then someone’s voice awakened my thoughts.
A middle-aged woman with indigo-colored hair and an expression that looked stern at first glance.
He was the one sitting in the professor’s chair, just like the professor who was fighting the wizard.
Judging from the fact that he barely senses magic power, he seems to be a professor in the combat support department.
A pen tucked into the breast pocket of her suit caught my eye.
“Professor, lend me a pen.”
“A pen? Why is the pen in the current situation….”
“It is a very important matter.”
When I spoke with the most serious expression on my face, she seemed to think for a moment, then she took out a pen and handed it to me.
A fountain pen that looks quite expensive at first glance.
“Professor, I’m sorry.”
“What… , Ah!”
First of all, I put an apple on it.
Then, I opened the cap of the fountain pen, inserted the sharpened nib into the wooden platform, and started drawing the magic circle I saw in my head as I moved it around.
“Now what… !”
The professor, who was angry with a fiery expression, closed his mouth after looking at the picture I drew.
I looked up at her and asked.
“Can you find out what this magic circle is?”
She raised her glasses and bent her upper body.
After scanning the magic circle with a closer look, he gave a shocking answer.
“… It’s a teleportation magic circle.”
“Ah.”
I wondered where I’d seen it, and it turned out to be a teleport magic circle!
Teleportation.
This magic, commonly called teleport, is a very famous movement magic that everyone knows if they have read a fantasy novel at least once.
A magic that draws a magic circle that resonates with each other in areas A and B, respectively, and uses it to make it possible to move in both directions.
Back in the day, when this magic first appeared, it was said that now all means of transportation would perish under it, but it did not happen.
It consumes so much mana that it has such atrocious fuel economy that it devours an intermediate level magic stone even while traveling a very short distance.
By the way, this magic circle is installed under the ground in the Great Hall?
“Professor.”
“Please speak.”
“Would you believe it if this magic circle was installed here under the ground in the Great Hall?”
At my question, she firmly shook her head.
“Common sense, that’s hard to believe. In order to move this entire space, I wonder if I can use S-class magic stones or not.”
I guess so.
I saw it myself, so it would be hard to believe otherwise.
I took out her magic stone from under her lectern and showed it to her.
“Is this possible?”
“That, that….”
The professor’s face turned pale.
She touched her magic crystal with her finger a few times, and then she nodded her head.
“This is an S-class magic stone. If this is it, surely it is possible… Come on, can you?”
Before she could finish her words, she opened her eyes and changed her words.
“… Are you saying there’s a teleportation magic circle under the ground? Is this magic stone the power source?”
“Yes.”
Now I understand everything
Why did he reveal his identity and what was he trying to hide?
I said, pointing to the wizard who was getting tired of fighting the middle-aged professor.
“I’m guessing that guy is trying to move us all.”
