Chapter 67 – I Became the Professor’s Assistant
Suddenly it’s a combat test…
I just said that I wanted to take the class, but the professor really listened to me.
He was trying to listen to me with such passion, so what was the point of refusing or running away?
I had no choice but to spar with the academy’s top student.
“I feel relaxed. I will go with all my heart.”
“No, please be gentle.”
“You are humble. You are indeed the summoner summoned by Professor Scarlet.”
Even though that senior student misunderstood, he misunderstood a great deal.
I was only summoned because the professor said he needed blood, but everyone thought I was as strong a summoner as the professor.
“This is a summoner recommended by Professor Scarlett… I’m looking forward to it.”
“Please don’t get your hopes up.”
-Wheeit!
The start of the battle was announced with a whistle.
The senior student looked at me carefully.
I really thought I was strong and was concentrating.
That’s right… If it’s a fight you can’t win anyway, just follow what the teacher taught you and lose as cool as possible.
Since there are many female students and female professors watching exams around you, this will be an opportunity to seduce several women.
“Blood magic.”
First, he raised one hand and calmly shouted his power.
I created a bloody spear around me and caught it with my hand.
It wasn’t as good as the blood-red spear that the professor showed me when he caught the Bostrol, but I did my best to design it and create a weapon.
In my stupid mind, it was hard to win a fight and there was no way I could even think of a cool fight. So, I decided to imitate the battles of others and fight as much as possible for show.
“It’s a weapon with quite complex magic engraved on it.”
It’s not a technique, it’s just a pattern.
It wasn’t as clear as the professor’s, but it was like a comb pattern.
“As expected, he was summoned under Professor Scarlett.”
The senior student held up something that looked like a staff and created fireballs in the air.
The senior student looked like a wizard.
In that case, it would be more pressure to fight up close rather than fight from a distance.
I ran forward first.
“I will not allow easy access.!”
It throws a fireball at me as I run.
“Blue dragon, block it.”
A curtain of water was placed in front of me.
-Poof! Shhh.!
“That’s elemental magic.”
“He is a summoner who uses two powers: blood magic and elemental magic.”
There is a buzz not only from senior students but also from those around them.
It was clear that he had won points.
“I’ll show you a stronger magic that cannot be blocked with elemental magic!”
“I can’t allow it. Interrupt me, Hyeonmu.”
“Uh. Uhh!”
The senior student’s bottom is sloshing like water.
So, I couldn’t memorize the magic spell properly, and it failed.
Finding an opening, he threw the spear with force.
However, it was blocked by a transparent wall and bounced off.
“It’s unfortunate, but I have plenty of defense methods.”
That’s… The shield used by the magic princess.
If my guess is correct, that shield was made of magical power and was the spirit’s favorite food.
-Can you eat that shield?
I quietly spoke to the spirit using blood magic.
“It will be possible if you get as close to him as possible.”
“Yes! Just as the turtle spirit said!”
-Okay. Here we go!
Run forward and disrupt the senior student’s magic as much as possible.
“I won’t let you do whatever you want. Haste. Ice Arrow.”
He seemed to know that I wanted to get close to him and kept throwing out easy spells while moving around to keep me from getting close.
I tried to hinder them as much as possible with elemental magic, but once they saw my technique, they seemed to have become accustomed to it and found it increasingly easy to respond and counterattack.
As expected, a senior student.
Now there seemed to be a limit to interfering.
Once. If I could get close to it just once, I might be able to win.
This guy ran away really well.
It’s not some kind of tag… Huh? Are you a tagger?
I was running, and now I stopped in place.
Then he quietly closed his eyes and raised his hands up to the sky.
Blood slowly gathering.
“Um… That’s powerful blood magic!”
“For sure.”
People around me are buzzing.
“You can’t use big blood magic in front of me!”
The senior student also runs towards me in a hurry and throws a fireball.
However, it is soon blocked by a curtain of water.
A senior student who forced himself to run in front of me.
When I felt that he had arrived next to me, I quickly opened my eyes.
And laughed.
“Oops!”
The senior student realized that this was a trap.
But it’s already too late.
The two spirits opened their mouths and ate the Haste and Shield on the student.
‘Hehe, I can’t use big skills!’
He immediately created a blood-red spear with both hands and threw it.
“Gagging!”
The senior student, who had no auxiliary magic on him, was hit in the stomach and fell to the floor.
Won!
As expected, it was important to make me come, not just go.
I was the same as that senior student over there and I couldn’t stand it when I saw someone who was concentrating.
“Whoa, that was a good trap.”
“Huh.?”
It felt like a blow, but it wasn’t my victory.
The senior student stood up fine and raised his hand.
I blocked my blood clot with two fingers.
Me. Crazy!
“Actually, I specialize in close combat.”
He looked at me with a bright smile like a cartoon character.
“As expected, they are a battle mage family. They blocked a spear thrown with all their might from such a short distance.”
“I heard that his reaction speed is faster than that of most knights.”
“For sure.”
He was such a strong guy that people around him heard comments about him as a top student. Everything he showed me was fake.
“It seemed like my magic was good at blocking. Then, let’s try blocking this too.”
The senior student who came towards me at some point was throwing out his fist with his magic overlapping.
It is said that he created the shield using blood magic.
-Kang!!
My body floated in the air with a light hitting sound.
“Gagging!”
“This way this time!”
Although I couldn’t see it, I unconsciously turned my shield towards the direction where I heard the voice.
-Kang!
This time, I hit the floor once and my body floats.
It’s a huge shaking.
“Your body is stronger than I thought!”
The guy seemed to enjoy being beaten, so he beat me.
I feel the helplessness I felt from the Iljin group in the past when I was in middle school and high school.
“Heo-eok. Heo-eok.”
“You’ve held up pretty well, but you don’t seem to have enough skills to deal with me… Ah… I had high hopes since I heard that Professor Scarlet summoned me, but it’s a shame. Foot.”
This bastard… Is he laughing at me now? And the professor?
Even if I tolerate everything else, I cannot forgive belittling the professor.
I promised myself that even if I got hit harder, I would still get a punch in the face.
Blood magic was poured into my body.
As my physical strength recovered rapidly, the bruises all over my body disappeared.
-Hey, blue dragon. How do I use the spirit power that Selina did?
“I don’t know that!”
“Great Spirit Fist? I know that.”
-How do I do it?
“I just need to enter you.”
-Is that the end?
“There are side effects…”
-It doesn’t matter, get in quickly! Because that bastard laughed at Professor Scarlett!
“Oh… I understand.”
People looked at Park Ja-geun with regret when he got back on his feet.
I could see his body gradually recovering as he used blood magic.
“It looks like the test is over. That summoner isn’t moving. Professor. Hmm.”
“That’s right. When I see them not being able to fight back completely, it’s like watching a fight between a baby and an adult. Hehe.”
“… I see, the difference in level is bigger than I thought.”
Even the professors and students around him seemed to realize the extent of Park Ja-geun’s skills.
“I agree with that. Even though he is a top student, what he has shown so far is not enough to take academy classes. So, I will see you do that for the last time.”
“That’s what you did? Huh. Huh!?”
The summoner thought he was recovering from blood magic.
As I looked at Ja-geun with a smile, the eyes of the surrounding professors were filled with embarrassment.
“What is that behind that summoner?”
“I see this… Strange turtle-shaped monster! Professor Scarlet!”
“I don’t know. This is my first time seeing that.”
Professor Scarlett, who has lived for hundreds of years, also looked at Jageun with interest.
“Behind… It’s huge. What on earth did you do?”
The senior student facing me also opened his mouth in curiosity.
“What do you want to know?”
He ran towards the senior student with overwhelming force that made his entire body wriggle.
“Sigh!?”
-Pow!!!
The sound of a cannonball exploding rang out in front of my eyes.
I too was surprised and looked at my fist.
A strange-looking transparent black hand was reaching out.
“Woohoho. Demon Spirit Fist Black King Sect.”
Hyunmoo guy throws out her fist and then speaks nonsense.
I decided to focus on looking for the senior student who ignored me and flew away.
There was definitely no way it could have been blown away with a single punch.
This guy is a powerhouse in the academy.
No matter how much I powered up, there was no way I could defeat him in one blow.
I stared into the thick smoke without losing my nerve.
-Sweet.
As the smoke gradually disappeared.
“Huh?”
A senior student was seen falling down and foaming at the mouth.
“This is the Demon Spirit Fist. Oooooh.”
***
“You knocked out the academy’s top student for laughing at me.”
“… I’m sorry, Professor.”
The senior student passed out, and the test ended.
And that too with one final blow.
Even I was dumbfounded. As a top student, I thought I would be able to block one or two attacks, but that wasn’t the case.
“Well done.”
“Yes?”
“Thanks to this, I was spared the ridicule of the academy professors.”
“Ah. Haha. I’m glad it was helpful.”
“And if possible, avoid using anything that becomes one with the spirit. Every time you use the power, you can see that your blood and stamina are decreasing.”
“Stamina!? That. That’s impossible!”
“Your body doesn’t have the magic that the spirits like, so they are taking your life force and stamina.”
Even if it’s vitality… It’s stealing your stamina? If what the professor said was true, it seemed right to use the Demon Spirit Fist only in times of emergency.
“The more powerful you are, the more powerful its destructive power will be. Of course, if you want to become a eunuch, you can keep using it.”
“I will definitely use it only in emergencies!”
“I wonder how long I can keep that resolve.”
“Ugh.”
The professor looks happy for the first time in a long time.
“Well, you passed the exam, so get ready for class.”
“Yes.”
Anyway, I was able to go to class with the professor.
However, I am not sure if this has improved.
