Chapter 16 – Chapter 2 – Fight if You Want It
“There are two ways to block the opponent’s magic. One is to apply magic attacks together and cause a chain reaction to explode before reaching you. The other is blocking with defensive magic. Of course, I don’t really recommend defending because it restricts movement and, above all, keeps the opponent on the offensive. Of course, there are times when defense is the best, but I will give lectures with a focus on counterattacks or counterattacks rather than defenses.”
After all, that’s what Southern devils are all about. You’re going to attack rather than defend.
Yulia, Cecily, and several demons thought so at the same time.
If only the commanding ability of the army was excellent, there would never have been a force that worshiped Klaus, the obvious enemy, among the demons.
His ability to command troops is excellent as it is, and his ability to fight the enemy on the front line is also outstanding.
From the point of view of the demons, who place the measure of strength on pure force, Klaus was truly the man who could be said to be the best enemy.
“Cadet Yulia. If you thought Cadet Cecily’s magical arrows were flying at you, how would you have stopped the attack?”
“… I must have used my magic to shoot the arrows flying at me.”
“It explodes before the opponent’s magic can reach it, right?”
“Yeah. The magical power used in battle magic is not meticulous enough to be perfectly composed, as it only needs to have high speed and appropriate destructive power. For this reason, it is known that when a certain amount of shock is received, the magical energy causes a chain reaction and explodes.”
“You’re right. But it was different when Cadet Cecily and I collided. It didn’t explode, it just completely shattered its magic power. Do you know why?”
Yulia shook her head slowly.
Originally, when magic collided with magic, it was normal for the magic inside to get entangled and explode.
But why did Cecily’s attack completely crumble that day? Yulia was also in doubt.
“In order to block the opponent’s magic midway, it is only natural to counterattack and block it with magic power equal to the amount of magic consumed by the opponent. But I used very minimal magic attribute. Even if it hits the opponent’s body, it’s so dense that it ends up with bruises.”
“Is that possible? I’ve heard that in the worst case, the opponent’s magic could be stronger because the mana is absorbed on the contrary.”
“You’re right. So the important thing is what kind of structure and how much density the opponent’s magical power has. To figure it out. And to strike at the heart of that magic. It is to nullify the magic that the opponent created by extracting their own mana and sending it away with much less mana.”
It sounds very simple, but Yulia, Cecily, and the cadets who had some knowledge of magic knew all too well that it was not as easy as it sounds.
It doesn’t take a year for the opponent’s attack to fly to you, it’s magic to fly right away if it’s long, about 10 seconds, if it’s short, within a few seconds.
In such a situation, it was possible only with talent, hard work, and great experience to grasp the opponent’s magic, see through it, and even attack the center.
“At that time, Cadet Cecily’s magic arrows did not explode and crumbled because of that reason. The core, which forms the basis of the magic, was hit, and the magic that would cause the chain reaction was broken, so of course it has no choice but to become crumbs and scatter.”
It seemed that Klaus was not at all great at such an incredibly high level of difficulty.
You guys were talking in a calm tone, as if you could do it as long as you put in the effort.
‘Especially Yulia. You will probably master this before long.’
In fact, this technology was first devised by Yulia and later used by demons in the Second Continental War.
Talented people with good eyesight and proficiency in magic have been prepared for what they can do only through tremendous training, and sent them to war, and they make a big contribution to destroying the Western Union.
If so, why is Julia now making an expression that she doesn’t know at all?
This technique was one of the many methods she had developed to get revenge on her with bloodshot eyes and gnashing of teeth after the terrible things her uncle had instigated her to do.
It was the point at which they hadn’t even devised it in those days when they thought it was peace on the continent or the union of the West and the East.
“You may think that it is too difficult or ridiculous, but in retrospect, it is the best technique. In combat magic, there is nothing better than eating more magic with less magic.”
“…”
“Of course, I have no intention of forcing you to do this. What I have shown and explained to you can be understood as a part of informing you of the highest efficiency of combat magic. Most of the cadets are not familiar with combat magic yet.”
At first glance, it could be taken as disregard for the cadets.
However, with the exception of a few cadets, most of them seemed to have no particular idea.
Is the professor standing in front of you an ordinary professor? This is Klaus, who used battle magic to fight the demons on the front line.
He was a man who instantly crumbled the opponent’s magic arrow into a single lump.
He deserves to disrespect them, but he is a man who is allowed such arrogance.
Most of the cadets in the classroom felt that way about Klaus.
‘I dare to speak of a cheeky commoner.’
Of course, a small number of human aristocratic cadets still regarded him as an arrogant and arrogant man for having made some achievements on the battlefield as a commoner.
“The time is already up. It was also the first lecture, so I will stop here for today.”
Cadets stand up and leave the classroom.
Gathering in groups of threes and fives, they started talking about the professor, a war hero, and what he had explained today.
“What, is this possible? No matter how weak the firepower is, it’s a battle magic, but in that short time. To read the other person’s magical power and strike the center in that time that is not enough even for a moment.”
“… The evidence is already clear enough to see it as bluffing.”
“That’s right. It’s no wonder that the demons are Commander Klaus… No, there’s no way she flirted with Professor Klaus or kissed him. More than anything, Cecily Les Blancs is a woman with a personality.”
It will be hard to understand, hard to accept.
If he couldn’t destroy the center, he would waste time and be hit by the opponent’s magic attack, that was the risk he had to take when Klaus’ technique failed.
Do you really need to take such a risk? It would be much safer if you just destroyed it by blowing magic that was similar in strength to the opponent’s.
‘If you do that, you won’t grow even if you die, idiots.’
In the First Continental War, why did the Western Union suffer the humiliation of being unable to use its hands and even losing its soul in the Second Continental War?
It was because no one was willing to take risks and become stronger.
In that regard, Klaus said his demons were much better, and wanted to give them a perfect score of 100.
Yulia perfectly mastered this technique she taught her right away, and Cecily performed it quite well, proving to him the excellence of the demons.
In addition to that, a large number of demons helped each other practice and built up the basics, and then returned to their home country to further develop them.
Conversely, in the Western Union, the cadets did their best at first.
Because I didn’t want to be pushed back by the demons, I thought there was a reason because it was what a war hero said.
However, the human side, especially the nobles of the kingdom and the empire, who hated Klaus’s growing influence almost to the point of a game, tried their best to cut it down.
He was busy criticizing prominent magic experts, saying that his skills were absurd, and that, except for a few exceptional ones, executing them was no different from an act of suicide.
‘That’s why I gave up the West Union coolly. There is no answer to these things.’
What can I do, this is the setting he put into the novel.
The Western Union was ruined, and the Eastern Demons were destined to sell on the contrary.
It is a huge wave that cannot be resisted. Even if you want to resist, you will eventually be swept away.
‘You shouldn’t be embarrassed. I begged you several times to try to save you guys. In the end, what came back was betrayal, betrayal, and more betrayal.’
It was the moment when Klaus was just going out into the hallway, clicking his tongue inside.
“Clark…”
“Professor Klaus.”
* * * * * * * * * *
Julia was shocked from Klaus’ first lecture.
Why didn’t anyone think of that? You can just explode the enemy’s magic, is it the most effective and safest, so it was fixed that way?
The technology Klaus devised and used was dangerous, but worth it.
If the opponent had to consume at least 40 mana to block it when attacking by drawing out 50 mana, Klaus’s technique was enough to cover the process with 20 or even 10 mana.
‘Genius, a genius from heaven. I shouldn’t have been born as a human! I had to be born as a demon!’
I was angry, so angry.
The human aristocrats who despise and ignore that man as a commoner are sitting by my side right now.
The thought of wanting to get up right away and rip that snout was strong.
You don’t even know how blessed you are, and even though Heaven has given you a gift, you don’t know it.
He knows that, but he knows that this man is truly a man from heaven.
I couldn’t think of a way to get him by my side.
Wasn’t it Klaus who reacted as if he were a child even on the condition that he make the demon king drunk?
‘… No, no. Rather, rather, it could have worked out.’
If he had been born as a demon, he would have caught his uncle’s eyes first.
Also, he served the demon king’s uncle as his master, not the demon king, and as someone who was hostile to him, he might have tried to kill himself whenever he had a chance.
Thinking like that made me think that it would be better to be human, to be a commoner.
He’s pretending not to be, but that man must have a fire burning inside him just like himself.
Despite the ability, despite the talent, it is certain that the kingdom will have bad feelings for the humans who have made a contribution and pushed themselves out even though no one can deny it.
‘Unconditionally, unconditionally, I will make you my own person.’
Maybe the reason why he let go of himself who looked like a fool two days ago.
Maybe it’s because he feels that he and Klaus himself are similar.
Do you feel a sense of kinship with the person who is trying to overcome the situation?
“The time is already up. It was also the first lecture, so I will stop here for today.”
When Klaus announced the end of the lecture, Yulia slowly stood up.
I am certain that I must keep that man, that human, as my own.
He won’t let me down He will support himself more faithfully than any other demons.
Even if Klaus doesn’t have that kind of heart, he has to make it himself.
The object of his allegiance must be himself, and he does not want to imagine being anyone else.
I’m greedy. I have a craving for it. I want it, I want it like crazy
Once activated, the terrifying demons’ greed and desire caught fire.
There were a lot of people who came naturally because they were demon lords, or people who wanted to give their allegiance.
But few, or none at all, had desired it so intensely.
So I wanted to have it even more. If you put that war hero under you, the repercussions will be enormous!
“Professor Klaus…”
Most of the cadets have left the classroom and Klaus is about to leave.
It was the moment when Julia was about to call Klaus by name.
“Professor Klaus.”
There was a woman with a louder voice than herself, and a woman who, unlike herself, approached Klaus as if flying.
‘What.’
I was dumbfounded, to think he was stealing something he was aiming for right in front of her.
Yulia looked at the female cadet, who was dumbfounded, but turned her head to Klaus.
Was it because the cadet uniform was tight, or was it done with other intentions?
She was a female cadet who, like herself two days ago, unbuttoned her cadet uniform so that her breastbone was fully visible.
In addition, the very short skirt was revealing the woman’s voluptuous lower body.
“… What is it, cadet Natasha?”
“I have something to share with you, is that okay?”
The glittering blonde hair melted away as it swayed.
The person who said that with a bright smile was definitely a fairy.
The fairy woman, who was said to be so arrogant and unlucky, was muttering that in a very simple, melting voice.
“…”
Yulia blinked her eyes, and soon a blue light flashed in her pupils.
Who the hell does that dwarf bitch dare to flirt with! While shouting inwardly.
