Chapter 36 – 036 Academy Summer Vacation (7)
***
“Wait..”
As soon as she finished preparing for her sparring, Seo-ah Yoon began to operate the remote control, and it quickly changed into a familiar place.
“A battleground?”
“Wear this.”
“What? Bracelets and anklets?”
She handed over bracelets and anklets with unusual patterns.
The moment she put on the anklet and bracelet, the engraved patterns began to glow and a protective shield formed on her body.
As in the arena, the value of the shield also floated on the screen.
“I don’t think it was like this when I was sparring with Minji..”
Kang Min-ji was watching our sparring from afar. Kang Min-ji was also blinking at her in surprise.
“Stand up! Don’t look at me and scold me!!”
“Hey Kang Minji! You should cheer me on!”
Supporting Yoon Seo-ah when cheering for me is not enough, isn’t it too much when there is an overwhelming difference in the first place?
Yoon Seo-ah burst into laughter as if she was having fun. She always only saw an expressionless face, but it was fresh every time I saw her like that.
“This is a magic suppression bracelet”
Yoon Seo-ah had a habit of shortening her speech or lengthening her ends. So, I saw that she doesn’t speak well or only communicates with short answers, but as her likeability increases, she feels quite comfortable talking.
“A magic suppression bracelet?”
“If you use magic power… The power will decrease…”
When I was practicing sparring with Minji, I had never seen anything like this before. Was it because it wasn’t a full-scale duel back then?
“If the attack is successful… The reduced power is recognized as a score”
“Is it the same rules as one-on-one sparring?”
It was like a safety device.
“Huh”
His movements were awkward because he had not yet adapted to the increased stats.
I didn’t expect to win, but it’s nice to win anyway
“Okay, I checked.”
“Okay, are you starting?”
“Okay, let’s start”
“Starting Dalian..”
Upon recognizing Yoon Seo-ah’s voice, she suddenly had a hologram appearing in her void.
And the countdown begins.
‘A moment of carelessness, let’s take a shot’
Even if I lost, I wanted to lose in style. A declining countdown signaled the start of the sparring.
I ran without hesitation, and Yoon Seo-ah started spraying cold air without hesitation.
“Uh?”
Let alone being vigilant, are you doing your best from the beginning?
While I was panicking, a wall of ice rose in front of me.
“Wait for a sec..?”
The ship looked thicker than the ice walls I had seen in Dalian before.
‘Should I stand?’
At that time, everything was different from Dalian, and when I came to my senses, I was trapped in an ice prison.
Lose like this!
[Anti-Ma: Activate]
If there is no way, it is enough to create one. Even with the thicker walls, the increased magic power seemed sufficient.
The moment he made up his mind to cut through the ice wall with his sword, the sword’s magic power rose in an instant.
‘Make a road!’
The moment I made up my mind and moved, I felt something guiding my body.
[ The movement is corrected by the fallen empire swordsmanship. ]
It was still a very subtle difference because it was LV.2, but I felt that the movements were cleaner.
The boat cut through thicker ice more easily than before.
‘What if I upload more of this?’
I was looking forward to seeing what the results would be when the level of the ‘swordsmanship of the ruined empire’ rose.
Even after activating anti-ma, overflowing mana.
Previously, if all I had to do was attack 2 times while activating Anti-Magic, compared to then, I felt full of magical energy.
‘The higher the stat, the greater the rise’
Going from 20 to 21 and going from 40 to 41 were the same 1 increase in terms of stats, but it wasn’t the same 1.
At 20 you can hit twice, so at 47 you should be able to hit 4.7 times. But,
‘I think it’s possible more than 10 times?’
While enjoying the increased power, Yoon Seo-ah’s attack flew.
‘Let’s focus!’
She slashed the massive ice spear with her sword. She scattered in all directions and her fragments splattered, but she had nowhere to retreat.
Because her attacks flew without a break.
[ The movement is corrected by the fallen empire swordsmanship. ]
[ The movement is corrected by the fallen empire swordsmanship. ]
[ The movement is corrected by the fallen empire swordsmanship. ]
She continued to cut through the flying spears of ice non-stop. An attack that is believed to have involved emotion.
‘Are you mad that I made fun of you?’
I couldn’t just keep getting hit, the moment I tried to move her front paw.
“Wow.. That’s too much”
Before she knew it, her ankles were frozen. It was defeat that I was distracted by looking at the status window.
I tried to break the ice with magic and move, but Yoon Seo-ah couldn’t stand still.
‘Was losing that time so resentful?’
Ice fragments that he couldn’t even think of defending with a sword began to rush like a storm. It was an unthinkable small decision to cut with a sword.
I had no choice but to crouch down in the blinding snow storm.
When I opened my eyes, a huge ice spear was flying in.
It was too late to avoid it.
‘Still not sharp’
I was hit and I rolled over.
It didn’t hurt too much because of the shield, but she was shocked in other parts.
“The winner has been decided.”
Complete defeat. It was an overwhelming difference.
The reason why I was able to win in the previous match was not because Yoon Seo-ah was careless, but because she feared that I would die, so she let go of her strength and fought.
Yoon Seo-ah was a wall that could not be crossed.
Yoon Seo, who pierced the magic circuit yesterday, must know my level better than I do.
‘Is there still such a difference?’
As I was lying down with a dejected expression, Yoon Seo-ah walked over. Then she said with a slightly smug look.
“I won.”
Looking at her proud expression and the V-shaped pose with her hands, her despondent feelings quickly flew away.
‘Cute’
It was literally an overwhelming difference. How many people would have been frustrated by Yoon Seo-ah’s side in the meantime?
How many of her would have been jealous of her?
‘Most likely’
She felt it was understandable that she was traveling alone,
‘What does it matter?’
I will make Yoon Seo-ah my woman. Is there anything wrong with her because Yoon Seo-ah is strong?
When I didn’t say anything, Yoon Seo-ah’s blue eyes trembled nervously. Hands down there carefully.
Her expression darkened and she scratched her gray hair.
‘Am I worried that I’m frustrated like everyone else?’
She was so cute that I tried to tease her more, but I endured it.
“Yes, I lost, but I was the one who won the Dalian evaluation.”
“That’s true..!”
After hearing my words, Yoon Seo-ah puffed out both cheeks to show her displeasure. She was angry, but she seemed brighter than before.
“Then.. Stick again..”
“Let me rest. Stand”
[Yoon Seo-ah’s favorability has increased. ]
“Weak bone.. Hee hee”
She looked lovely with a bright smile, a shy smile that she had never seen before.
Kang Min-ji, who had been watching from afar, walked this way.
“Kim Si-woo, since you’re talking like that, don’t you think you’re hurt anywhere?”
“Why were you worried?”
“Who… Who said he was worried?”
“Thanks. Minji-ya, Yoon Seo-ah’s skills are good, so there are no injuries.”
“It’s noisy, so get up.”
Minji reached out her hand without saying a word. The ice that held her ankles had disappeared before she knew it.
“Thank you”
Min-ji, who helped her, turned around with her stern expression, and she turned to Yoon Seo-ah.
“Stand up! It was downright cool!”
“Eww… Yeah.. Thank you”
“That… Could you sparr with me too?”
“Right now?”
“Yeah, I want to see you again!”
When I was not there yesterday, did I have a sparring match with Yoon Seo-ah?, When I saw Kang Min-ji’s expression, it was burning with her fighting spirit.
“Okay..”
“Kim Siwoo! If you hear it, take it off quickly!”
‘I am burning with desire’
In order to cheer Minji Kang, I loosened her bracelet and ankle that I was wearing and started to fill Minji.
“I…I can do it by myself!”
“Just stay still, I’ll do it for you.”
It was Minji who stayed still as she was told to grumble.
‘Our Minji is also cute’
Supporting Kang Min-ji, he stepped back from her.
After the preparations were over, Kang Min-ji and Yoon Seo-ah finished preparing for the sparring.
“Is it okay if I stand and fight right away?”
“No problem.”
It hadn’t been long since the sparring with me had ended, but Yoon Seo-ah looked fine.
‘It’s a bit embarrassing’
The results might have been different if I had had enough time to adapt to my new body before sparring.
“You have to stand. Don’t look at me, do it right”
“Huh”
The countdown began, and the two battles began.
Yoon Seo-ah is a distance dealer and Kang Min-ji is a short-range dealer.
Min-ji used her explosive power to leap towards Seo-ah Yoon at once. While flying in the air, a wall rises in front of you,
“I expected it!!”
As if she had already experienced it, Kang Min-ji blew up the wall in front of her with her fist.
‘You look better than before’
Yoon Seo-ah’s attack as if she had expected Kang Min-ji,
Kang Min-ji moved forward little by little, parrying Yoon Seo-ah’s attack, but it seemed that she did not have time to check her own feet.
‘Did I suffer like that?’
Kang Min-ji tripped on the ice protruding like a stone beak and fell.
Then, a merciless attack that came over, the result was obvious.
“The winner has been decided.”
Yoon Seo-ah’s overwhelming victory.
I hurriedly ran and got Kang Min-ji up.
I wondered if she was depressed, but surprisingly she was fine.
“As expected, you have to stand out! I will definitely win next time.”
‘Kang Minji also has a strong mentality’
Even when he lost a match against me, he didn’t give up and kept running. And that kind of appearance seemed to like Yoon Seo-ah.
“I’ll wait.. Hee hee”
***
“Then, please call me after dinner, lady.”
She recognized the A-class elixir from the moment she gave it away, but Seo-ah Yoon seemed to be the Gold Spoon of Gold Spoon.
“You have to stand.. You don’t have to do it this far..”
She said that she would buy dinner, so she came out and got into a car driven by a driver, and she arrived in front of a famous hotel.
“The buffet here is delicious.. I will live”
I still felt intimidated by such a luxurious atmosphere, as if I hadn’t escaped from poverty.
“Not very expensive..”
Yoon Seo-ah lifted the potion she had received as a gift from her subspace bag.
“Because I received a present.. It’s okay”
She was a shabby gift compared to an A-class elixir worth 8-9 billion to be honest, but she seemed to be in a good mood for Yoon Seo-ah.
She followed Yoon Seo-ah, who walked confidently, into her hotel buffet. 160,000 won per person, cheaper than I thought.
‘Still, is 160,000 won cheap for one meal?’
I saw a familiar face in the distance.
“It’s not that expensive, so don’t burden yourself too much, Joo-won, huh?”
“Yes, Joo Won! You used to come here often!”
I was with Kang Joo-won, Lee Da-eun, and a girl I had never seen before.
