89. Academy Arson Terror – Tracking Behind

“Wealth…It’s fire!!!”

A huge fire broke out behind the Wallace Academy founded by Joo-Won Choi and Seong-Ho Kang.

Kang Seong-ho saw it and shouted.

“What are you doing! Everyone run right now and put out the fire-!”

At that moment, in preparation for an unexpected situation, numerous hunters who were waiting near the head of the Hunter Association jumped out and started using magic all at once.

-Wheeyiing-!

-Chaw ah-!

In an instant, wind, ice, and water magic swept the academy building.

“Tongue… President of the Association! The lights don’t go out!”

“Damn it…”

In spite of the magic poured out by countless hunters in an instant, the flames burned resolutely. Seeing this, Joo-Won Choi thought.

‘That… Isn’t a normal fire.’

Looking at the shape and energy of the fire, it was not a general magical or physically generated fire. I could feel the thick magic.

‘Looks like they used demons or dark artifacts.’

The moment Choi Joo-won, who was wearing a mask, grasped the situation, people ran away in a panic.

The head of the Hunter Association also looked at Choi Joo-won with a worried expression.

“Mask Instructor, I think it would be best to avoid your seat for now. It doesn’t seem like a normal fire. If we make a mistake, the fire may come our way.”

“….”

Choi Joo-won pondered for a while before answering.

“I will solve it.”

“Yeah?… But those flames don’t even seem to work with magic…”

Before the head of the Hunter Association finished his words, Joo-Won Choi used magic at the people.

[Magic Shield]

– [B] Magic Shield: Summons a magical shield to block enemy attacks. The durability of the generated shield depends on the amount of mana used.

A small mana shield floating in the air. Before long, Choi Joo-won began to collect mana from his body.

[Magic shield, stacking.]

-Changang-!

-Changang-!

-Changang-!

Hundreds and thousands of magic shields spread out in the air in an instant. Choi Joo-won shouted at the people using amplification magic.

“You don’t have to be afraid. A fire of unknown cause broke out, but I will protect you. No one will get hurt here.”

Eventually, Choi Joo-won absorbed his external mana and made up for the lack of mana.

[Absorption]

-Shhhhh-!

Mana quickly filled his body. Choi Joo-won felt that something was missing, so he put his hand on the ground and sucked up all the mana around him.

‘This should be enough.’

-Shhhhh-!

In an instant, an enormous vortex of mana began to swirl around Choi Joo-won.

Seongho Kang talked to Joowon Choi as if he was embarrassed.

“Go…Mask Instructor… What…What are you trying to do! Ordinary magic does not work on those flames.”

Choi Joo-won did not respond, but acted.

[River of Holy Water]

– [SS] River of Holy Water: Summons a wave made of holy water. Flowing waves move in the trajectory desired by the user.

In an instant, a huge circle was created above Joo-Won Choi’s head. Before long, holy water began to flow from the circle.

-Chwaaa

The holy water flowed like crazy, and it came out with such a speed that it seemed to devour people around it, but it evaded people by moving like a snake.

-Chwaaa

Soon after, Seongsu rushed into the academy building where the flames spread.

-Paaang-!

With the sound of holy water hitting the building, the flames began to die down. But Choi Joo-won did not stop there.

-Quaaang-!

The waves of holy water hit the Wallace Academy building again and again.

-Shhhhh….

At some point, all the fires inside the academy were extinguished.

“This…What the hell is this?…”

Kang Seong-ho, who was watching from the sidelines, and the people under the auditorium could only keep their mouths wide open in admiration for what had just happened.

The reason they couldn’t help but be surprised was Choi Joo-won’s terrifying mana usage speed. Ordinary wizards use magic that is difficult to handle even one or two, and it is not enough to create hundreds of shields at the same time, so they use SS-class skills, the river of holy water.

The fire that even dozens of wizards couldn’t extinguish, he extinguished all by himself.

“Sa… Lived-!”

Let one start shouting. Everyone else started shouting in unison.

“Wow!”

The people below muttered in panic.

“Um…Does that make sense? What did I just see…?”

“I see… Is what I just saw really the work of a sorcerer?”

“I’ve seen it on video before, but seeing it in person is terrifying.”

“Well… Even clearing the A-rank dungeon solo was no joke…”

No one denies the Masked Instructor’s outstanding military power. Even if there were people who had negative opinions about the external mana he used or how to use mana, there was no one who ignored him with force itself because of his record of playing an A-class dungeon solo by a wizard alone.

However, force and the ability to deal with situations are two different things.

Joo-won Choi saw that the flames did not disappear, and quickly recognized that this was a series of phenomena using magic or mana artifacts. He beat him like crazy and suppressed the flames like a rat.

-F*ck-!

Thanks to this, there was an unfortunate incident of cracking the academy building along the way, but Choi Joo-won poured waves of flowing holy water over and over again as if it were nothing.

-Awesome-!

A normal person wouldn’t even dare to try. Choi Joo-won did it quickly in front of his eyes.

Choi Joo-won said casually to Kang Seong-ho.

“Well, the academy opening ceremony was delayed a bit, but it’s good that no one was hurt.”

Kang Seong-ho swallowed once and asked.

“Mask Instructor, how many spells can you use at the same time?”

Choi Joo-won pondered for a while before answering.

“There is no limit on the number. However, if you use a lot of magic at once, the mana consumption becomes faster, so I just refrain from using it as much as possible. If you answer correctly, as long as mana allows, you can use it simultaneously without limit.”

“Is that…is that real?!”

Kang Seong-ho was startled and grabbed Choi Joo-won’s sleeve. The head of the Hunter Association had no choice but to be surprised. Originally, the more magic you use at the same time, the more the brain starts to load. For Choi Joo-won, it was like playing hundreds of online games at once.

“Yeah, what…”

As Choi Joo-Won looked at the sleeve of his clothes, Seong-Ho Kang cleared his throat, untied his hands, and apologized to Joo-Won Choi.

“Sorry. You were so startled that you made a mistake.”

“No. Anyway, the academy opening date will be delayed a bit.”

Joo-Won Choi talked while looking at the building of Wallace Academy, which had been torn apart, and Seong-Ho Kang also spoke with regret.

“That… I guess so.”

Kang Seong-ho was surprised by Choi Joo-won, who calmly worried about the academy in this situation. In fact, if there had been a colossal terror attack of this magnitude, it would not have been strange at all if a follow-up terror occurred. However, Choi Joo-won was just observing the exterior of the academy building calmly, as if there would be no problem no matter what happened.

‘What is that?’

As Choi Joo-won looked at the building, he began to feel a strange flow of mana around him.

-Bulging

-Bulging

I could see the face of one of the people in the hall swollen here and there.

‘What is that?’

No matter how you look at it, Choi Joo-won was keeping an eye on the foreign situation.

Soon, the man’s body began to expand rapidly.

“Kyaaah”

Her man’s body quickly grew like a huge balloon in less than a few seconds, and was discovered by people only when it was about to explode. It was, to be sure, like a bomb.

‘Is it Magi?’

I wasn’t sure, but it seemed that the demon was in a state of rampage.

‘Damn it… what kind of crazy bastards are doing this? How many dark artifacts are you using?’

While Choi Joo-won thought so, he used magic to rise into the air and then cast magic.

[Devil’s Arm]

-[SS] Demon’s Arm – A demon’s arm with ominous energy, subdues the opponent.

In an instant, a huge arm came out from behind Choi Joo-won’s back and wrapped both of her hands around the man.

-Quaaang-!

At the same time, a crazy explosion was heard. The explosion shook the surrounding ground. However, no one around was injured.

This is because the devil’s arm that Joo-Won Choi used absorbed all the shock.

-Disabled.

Choi Joo-won lifted his arm and looked at the corpse being oxidized in Magi.

‘Perhaps the fire earlier had something to do with it.’

[Sage’s Eye]

– [Inherent Skill] Sage’s Eye – You can learn more about objects, creatures, or the flow of mana, and you can check hidden and unidentified information.

‘What kind of f*cking bastard did this crazy thing? How are you going to take care of the aftermath?’

Choi Joo-won looks at the corpse with a cold expression.

Before long, Choi Joo-won’s eyes started to shine and information about his man was printed out.
