4. Practice Training – 06

At this moment, Altina von Rudel Serias had to admit her mistake.

‘I was careless.’

Yes, careless. If she didn’t use this word, what words could she use to explain the current situation she was in?

Last night, Altina was able to finally awaken her aura by jumping over the huge wall that had been blocking her for years.

If we recall the fact that many martial arts geniuses fail to overcome the huge wall of Aura and end up frustrated in front of it countless times, it would be insufficient to say that Altina’s talent, who realized her Aura at the age of a teenager, is truly formidable.

In the future, the name of Altina von Rudel Serias will be engraved on a page in the history of the empire, and that name will never be forgotten until the empire is destroyed.

Also, at the very moment when she realized her aura, Altina realized that her basic physical abilities had increased several times compared to before.

The moment the aura, which can be said to be the crystallization of life energy, was activated within Altina’s body, her potential was unlocked.

Even if he did not cause an aura, he gained enough strength to easily subdue his classmates with just basic physical abilities.

That’s why I was careless. Furthermore, the place where she is now is Nineveh. A place where there are not only her, but countless students with talent worthy of being called gemstones, and instructors who lead them.

That’s why, even though he clearly knew that there would be monster practice training soon, he didn’t hesitate at all to show the mana by squeezing all the mana in his body and show him an aura.

It was because he was sure that if something went wrong, even if he didn’t step out, he would be unconditionally safe inside Nineveh.

… That was her crucial mistake.

Altina knew. A woman named Claire Delphine Mascarena was born with great talent as a wizard, but at the same time, she was born with a very timid and weak personality.

The Mascarena family was a master of magic with a very long history and tradition even within the empire, but it was known that their power had declined a lot in their time.

Thanks to that, Claire Delphine Mascarena, the heir of the Mascarena family, was attending Nineveh while receiving a scholarship despite her status as an aristocrat.

So, Claire was always under pressure to do well in every class.

If you don’t do well in this class, if you don’t stand out from others, if you don’t prove yourself superior-

One day, without a word, the benefits of all the scholarships given to her may be withdrawn.

Obviously, the waning Mascarena family can’t afford the astronomical tuition in Nineveh, and if that happens, Claire will have to drop out of Nineveh.

Because of the humiliating reason that a person who inherited a nobler lineage than anyone else could barely afford the tuition.

… That’s not all. Claire must graduate from Nineveh. After graduating from Nineveh, he must prove that he is excellent and use this as a stepping stone to regain Mascarena’s prosperity.

That was the reason she used the great magic ‘Cocytus Spear’ to kill a mere orc.

In today’s hands-on class, Erekaya del Pendragon, who is said to be the finest masterpiece of the Pendragon family, and Altina von Rudel Serias, who is said to have equal talent, are together.

If so, using ordinary magic and catching Orcs normally would not be able to stand out. That’s why she showed the great magic that she desperately honed and learned at a young age.

Although she may be behind Erekaya or Altina in terms of the overall student level, in order to let them know that she is superior in terms of magic.

Altina also knew that Claire was in a corner. I also knew that today she would use the great magic she had honed.

However, the power of the ‘Cocytus Spear’ used by Claire far exceeded what Altina expected.

If it had been hit head-on, it would have been so powerful that even an Aura user could not guarantee life or death.

“Heh, ah, ugh-”

If Altina had been the only one to care about, she would have been able to get out of Cocytus’ spear aftermath without difficulty.

However, there were too many students around her who couldn’t even grasp the situation properly about what would happen one second later.

It would be something that her pride as someone who inherited the Serias lineage would not allow her to escape to a safe place by herself while ignoring everyone else.

So, after drawing up all the aura from the spirit veins of her body, she spread a barrier to protect the students around her as much as possible.

As a result, it ended up looking like this. Everyone is safe because she protected everyone from the aftermath, but Altina herself suffered severe internal injuries.

“Uh-!”

Blood pours from the corner of the mouth. An intense pain enveloped her, as if the intestines themselves were being pushed up. But now was not the time to be leisurely throwing up blood.

“Kurrr!”

I don’t know what happened, but an ogre trapped in a cage escaped from the cage.

Although the Achilles tendon was severed and the movement speed was terribly slow, the ogre nevertheless recognized this as a clear “prey” and slowly approached the girl lying on the ground.

‘No.’

That female student has lost her mind due to the aftermath of magic. And that ogre, as soon as it approached that girl, it was obvious that it would strike that heavy fist without even looking at it.

… block He didn’t care who the girl was or what he would benefit from if he saved her.

Right now, Altina is only concerned about one thing, the fact that a person might die right in front of her eyes, but she can’t leave him alone.

“Kwawawawawa!”

Auror… can’t write Even the slightest biting of a finger sends a tremendous amount of pain through the whole body. Then there is only one thing she can do.

Using one’s own body as a shield, to save that child.

I squeezed all my remaining strength, threw myself, and embraced that girl.

Fortunately, it’s not too late. It is something that can be done easily. So, Altina closed her eyes and greeted the ogre’s fist that was approaching her.

Pooh-!

“… uh?”

The expected death does not come to her. No, I couldn’t shut up.

“…..”

The ogre’s fist that flew towards Altina disappeared. analogy and what not Literally, the right arm that the ogre was holding out towards Altina was ‘disappeared’.

“You are lucky.”

A thick, muddy voice, as if the entire throat was cracked. That’s why Altina couldn’t figure out who the owner of that voice was with her eyes closed.

There was a smell of ripening flesh somewhere. Altina opened her eyes, which had been closed involuntarily.

“I was thinking of pulling out the whole head, but I couldn’t control the speed, so I only took one arm.”

Before I knew it, Jin’s back was sitting in front of Altina.

“… you you-“

However, Jin’s current appearance was in a state that could not be called normal even with empty words.

His whole body was in a red-hot state as if he had been burned, and he was rising with tremendous heat and steam.

The whole body was in a dry and cracked state, like a rice field in a drought, and blood flowed ceaselessly between the cracked skin.

… However, on the other hand, Jin’s eyes were shining more unfamiliarly than anything else.

From now on, it was a look in his eyes that contained a strong will to never back down.

“Gooooooooo!”

Only then did the ogre realize that his arm was missing and howl. It happened in such a fleeting moment that only now the excruciating pain began to creep in.

But it was a cry of a distinctly different character than before.

It was not a cry that came from the joy of killing prey by showing off one’s strength, but a howl that originated from fear and the fear of death.

“Shut up your mouth, you’re crazy.”

Simultaneously with Jin’s words, the ogre swung his remaining arm wide. It’s not about destroying the enemy, but the primordial violence itself that is wielded to quickly run away from the fear in front of you.

Whoops-!

The ogre’s blow, which would shatter even a huge rock if hit properly, was blocked by Jin with just one hand.

And.

Pooh-!

All the veins in Jin’s arm that blocked the ogre’s blow burst out. It was a terrible horror, as if a bomb had exploded inside his arm.

It wasn’t the recoil that prevented the ogre’s power from the front, it was an expensive price to pay for using power that shouldn’t be used with an incomplete body.

On the surface, Jin fell into a dying state just by blocking the ogre’s attack, and the ogre still had enough energy left to attack the opponent.

But at that very moment, an instinctive warning rang out in the ogre’s head. get away from that person leave as soon as possible If you continue to touch that person.

himself, dies must.

“late.”

In an instant, the ogre’s hand that was held in Jin’s hand begins to twist. The arm was twisted, crushed, bent, and destroyed in ways it should never normally have moved.

There was no pain. But the fact that there is no pain is even more frightening. The ogre had to watch with his eyes open as his body was being destroyed with trembling eyes.

Destruction begets destruction. The destruction that started at the fingertips spread like an infectious disease to the whole body of the ogre in an instant. The ogre’s arm, which was the first to be destroyed, soon became powder and began to scatter in all directions-

“…..”

There were no screams.

Soon, the ogre’s gigantic body disappeared from this world without a trace.

“…..”

Only after the ogre has turned into powder and disappeared, the breathing that has been stopped until then resumes again.

And at the same time-

“Ha, uh-”

At the same time that time is engraved on his body, which had been stopped, the recoil that should be shut up strikes at once.

“ah… ha-“

My mind goes blank. A terrible pain emanates from the inside of his body, as if thousands of bugs were crawling and gnawing at his body. His body is begging him to stop.

“… damn, eat This is why I didn’t want to write.”

I didn’t even have the strength to stand up anymore. The recoil of the price of using this damn power has come. I felt like I needed to give my body a little rest.

But before that.

“Al, Tina-”

Jin turned his head and looked at Altina. Fortunately, there appeared to be no injuries.

I’m glad, really. Because I could get hurt instead of her.

Feeling satisfied with the fact that Altina was unharmed, Jin slowly closed his eyes.
