79 – Showdown with no winner

“I am a student of Professor Jayden.”

The reason for mentioning the disciple’s name was simple.

He was a disciple of the head of the academy’s top faction, so he meant to be careful. But.

“Is it over?”

“… Yes?”

Rather, Sean blinked at Na Joo-hee’s reaction, which grew even more hostile.

“I heard your introduction. So could you turn it off now? Because I was talking first.”

“Uh, huh… … .”

Sean looked at Na Joo-hee’s back in a daze as he was so absurd at the action of grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back.

Even in the era when he was active, power was power.

It was such an era when those who had the power behind them could also wield the same power.

‘It seems that the world has changed a lot… … .’

Or maybe he judged that his parents had better haircuts than his pupils.

It’s only been three days since I arrived here, but since I’ve only seen the disciple’s stupid behavior once or twice, I somehow understood it.

While Sean stood behind her and stroked his chin, Na Joo-hee fueled her boiling anger and told Baek Ha-na about the business she had been hesitant about.

“He worked on the same team as me in the grade evaluation… Do you want to?”

“with you?”

“… … yes.”

-Oooh!!

-Shut up.

Idni made her face red and tried to say something, but for some reason, she couldn’t shake off the priest Maria’s hands and only her hands struggled.

“That story. Would it be all right if I interrupted for a moment?”

Not only Idni, who was struggling, but once again the gaze of those present turned to the boy. In particular, the gaze of Na Joo-hee, who has bright red eyes like her hair, was the most intense.

“I also came here to team up with Lady.”

There was one thing I found out this morning, while brushing up on Jayden and processing the paperwork. It is the fact that the client and the lover, the bailiff, unilaterally applied for a guardian.

‘That means that child.’

It was a somewhat convincing choice in that it had an exceptional appearance, and the amount of magical power it possessed was unusual even though it was a transmutation system. In order for any force to make a loud noise, it must be supported by power.

In other words, it was an action based on the calculation that if the client’s lover, the bailiff, formed a team with the child in front of him to take care of, at least the client would not kick it out in the middle of the evaluation.

It’s just that I called myself to solve that small case.

“Hey.”

“… … Me?”

I even introduced myself as Sean, but I turned my head when I heard him calling himself as if he were calling a low-end mafia wandering around a shady slum.

A young child with bright red hair, revealing hostility that he seems to have no intention of hiding now, points a finger at him.

“yes. you.”

“Oh, um. Yes.”

At first, I thought it was ridiculous, but after thinking about it for a while, I realized that there was nothing too strange about the reaction.

“Just because you’re Professor Jayden’s disciple, that doesn’t mean you can prove your skills. you know that?”

Anyone with bad magic would be angry if he suddenly intervened.

If I were alone right now, I would have broken my head.

‘It wasn’t my intention, but I guess I can use it.’

The easiest thing to do is to just release a little more magic, but as the child in front of me said, it seemed necessary to show off my true skills.

“On the other hand, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to think that Professor Jayden’s student is incompetent?”

“Well. Since you are from a royal family, it could be that your family is from a well-to-do aristocratic family, or that you made disciples by looking at the future, not the present. You look very young too.”

“It’s a possible assumption.”

Baek Ha-na stroked Lee Na-yeong’s head as she shivered and watched blankly at the two who suddenly started fighting.

“Then, how about deciding according to the rules here?”

“under.”

Na Joo-hee put on a very displeased expression and said, crossing her arms under my chest.

“You’d better not think that I’m going to do it properly because you’re Professor Jayden’s pupil.”

“Yes. it’s okay. Then, shall we proceed right away as we speak?”

“It is what I wished for.”

At the same time, the two took out their smartphones from their pockets.

“I will apply, so can you call a professor who can come right now?”

“Are you okay? I think he’ll tell you later, infidelity, or something like that.”

“… … There is no such thing.”

“If so.”

Sean shrugged his shoulders at Na Joo-hee’s gaze as if he was going to kill him and sent an email to Jayden.

[ JM: What is skirmish all of a sudden? Didn’t you promise me that you would keep quiet!! ]

[Me: So, before things get bigger, choose the right one and send it. Got it? ]

[ JM: Master, please consider your age. What are you doing with students who are almost your grandchildren? ]

[Me: So, are you saying you want to send it or not? ]

[ JM: This is the last time. I don’t want to step down from my professorship yet, so please cooperate. Yes? ]

‘Eh… … .’

In the past, the disciple who would throw himself into a magical storm if he was asked to do so now bluntly retorts that he has discovered a bigger world. The problem is that he himself is fascinated by the new world.

– Tiring.

Shawn and Na Joo-hee’s smart watches sounded at the same time.

Na Joo-hee snorted while looking at the email that came in.

“It seems that being Professor Jayden’s disciple is not a lie.”

“I’ll show you that my skills also support me.”

The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads to Hana Baek.

“I’ll show you who suits you better.”

“I will prove my skills. Lady.”

Then, without hearing a single answer, he turned his back.

“No, I… … .”

“Shhh!!”

Idni, who got away from Maria, quickly put her index finger to her mouth and stood up.

“I thought I was going to take a nap, but it went well. Let’s digest it and take a look. yes?”

Idney, too, did not listen to Baek Ha-na’s answer and followed the two who left first, humming a song.

Maria, who looked at her for a moment, smiled lightly and asked Baek Ha-na.

“Shall we go too… ?”

Maria was also inevitably Yu Hee-sin’s family.

**

The competition hall where students were cut off in preparation for the upcoming grade evaluation.

A man and a woman each climbed onto an area untouched by humans for several days.

-We’ll start in 10 seconds.

The 3rd year professor, who came out as a supervisor under Jayden’s instructions, operated the switch. Then the speakers on the stage started counting.

‘A moderate exchange of pictures would be fine.’

Power that is too strong is bound to be guarded against at times.

Even more so if it’s an outsider.

Sean stroked his chin, taking in the rolling count and hostility toward himself. With the intention of appreciating what the skills of young children these days are like.

-start.

As soon as the count ended, Na Joo-hee’s body burned.

“Hoo.”

A rare ability to use mana to replace one’s body with an element of the desired attribute. In the world of Awoken, whose ability is half eaten, elementalization was definitely the ability to shout out loud.

‘It’s obvious that he grew up.’

No matter how intense their emotions are, beings who deal with magic must always maintain a cool rationality.

As humans get excited, their vision narrows and their thoughts become simpler. That’s a fatal change for a wizard who has to think in line with a fluidly changing environment and use complex spells.

You don’t have to use the magic formula through elementalization, and the stage is narrow now, so there won’t be any disadvantages that will be revealed right away, but that, too, will be a matter of time.

【die!!】

“Heh heh heh.”

Sean thought as he looked at the fireball that was sent towards him with the intent to kill.

‘The little guy is talking about it.’

It reminded me of my pupil’s childhood, and I was annoyed for no reason.

From the first meeting, I managed to raise that cheeky guy who trusted my parents and laughed at them into a useful wizard… … .

‘Are you forgetting the grace that raised you and switching lines?’

It was a natural choice for a clock tower wizard who prioritizes exploration, but the resentment does not disappear.

Sean moved the mana he had spread beforehand when a fireball flew right in front of him.

That fireball was a mass of magical power itself without magic, so it was impossible to change its nature through interference. therefore.

Paang-!!

A fireball exploded at the same time as a huge explosion sound, scattering large and small debris along with pure white steam.

【Remnants of tricks!!】

Whoaaagh

Na Joo-hee opened a curtain of fire at the ice shards flying towards her face.

Chee-Ik-!!

The flying ice shards evaporated in an instant and disappeared.

【under!! Professor Jaden’s apprentice, who handles fire magic, uses freezing magic!!]

“Um, that’s it too.”

At Na Joo-hee’s sarcasm, Sean nodded and readily admitted his mistake. instead.

“It’s still better than having my vision blocked during combat.”

Sean looked at Na Joo-hee with pitiful eyes and moved his right hand slightly.

Poo-!!

Na Joo-hee’s head, which had been burning with a dull sound, suddenly staggered.

dump.

Na Joo-hee’s knees touched the floor.

The body returned to its original shape and collapsed to the floor.

A large lump rose on the back of her head, and a staff covered in white frost appeared behind her.

It was an old wooden staff that Na Joo-hee blew aside when she opened the fire curtain. I adjusted the speed so that I could find it if I widened my sight a little, but Na Joo-hee was not properly aware of its existence until the staff was completely out of sight.

Parka Cak-!!

The frost clinging to the wand shattered and the wand, which had regained its original form, flew into Shaun’s hand.

Shawn tapped the stage with his cane and clicked his tongue.

“If you’ve already been beaten badly once, you should do something called learning. Tsk tsk.”

If they hadn’t been damaged by anything, the Awakeners who had bloomed elementalization would have already taken all the top positions.

No matter how much you use your abilities to replace your body with some of the elements, if you are attacked by stronger magical power or the opposite attribute, you will suffer the same damage.

I heard that he had already tasted the bitter taste of defeat and even caused a runaway, but it was really disappointing.

“Kuhm.”

I tried to give and receive in moderation, but all of the things I did from one to ten were not cheap, so I forgot about the hand.

Hiding his embarrassment, Sean hid his cane and slowly walked off the stage. Then, he approached Hana Baek, who was looking at him with his peers, and asked.

“How is it. Lady. I think this is enough to become a member of the team.”

Hana Baek finally opened her mouth to the boy, who still seemed to be smiling for his age.

“I want you to stop calling me that lady for now.”

“Then by name… … .”

“no.”

Hana Baek got up from her seat with a very serious expression.

“If possible, I would prefer not to talk to you.”

Baek Ha-na looked at Na Joo-hee, who had fainted on the stage, for a moment, then turned around.

“Hmm.”

Sean realized one thing as he watched Baek Ha-na and others leave the arena.

That the Dalian just now did not reflect the will of one hundred and one who became the subject of the quarrel.

‘It’s fucked up.’

For the first time, Sean felt that he had become younger.
