Episode 56. glass (6)

When Yuri said that he had never had a magic duel before, Eugene laughed at Class E’s stupidity and explained the rules.

“The workshops take turns. If the attacker’s magic comes within 1m of the defender, you win.”

“Is that the end?”

“yes. You do it first.”

Yuri didn’t even seem to know that giving the right to attack first was a privilege.

Yujin, who was completely relieved after seeing that, smiled.

‘How can I lose to a boy like this? I can’t lose.’

“Asane.”

Chunks of ice that looked like they were being measured flew straight at Yujin.

pop-!

Yujin, who melted them all with an intermediate ignition, distorted her expression.

“… Hey. Are you going to do it roughly?”

“I didn’t do it roughly.”

“Ah, is the original level like this? Okay, then it’s my turn this time. Do you understand?”

“yes.”

The answer was that he did not prepare defensive magic, and it seemed clear that Yuri had no understanding of dueling at all.

Yoo-jin couldn’t hide her laughter when she saw Yuri, who was observing her closely with her posture lowered.

‘What is that, it’s not some kind of beast.’

“You don’t even need a magic circle.”

Immediately, the ground Eugene was stepping on began to crack, and the sharp-edged rocks revealed their teeth to Yuri.

“Defend.”

“… .”

“Defend. Are you sure you warned me? Blood I don’t know?”

“I do not need.”

“hahahaha. ha ha ha… ! Then do it on your own!”

Shortly after, even as sharp pieces of stone fell to the floor and flew toward Yuri, Yuri calmly continued to sing.

“draft.”

Hwaaak-!

Then, an updraft that suddenly appeared in Yuri’s chant sent the rocks flying into the sky.

‘Does he defend himself like this?’

Eugene spread his mana shield in front of him and prepared for Yuri’s subsequent blow, but gradually felt that something was wrong and looked around.

There was no one on the other side of the mana shield. Glass disappears with the wind.

“what! Where-“

“It’s my car now!”

When Eugene raised his head at the sound coming from overhead, something unbelievable was unfolding in the sky with the common sense that Eugene had known so far.

“I-that… !”

Our eyes met Yuri, who was carried up by the wind and flew high.

Yuri was spreading his magic while falling freely from the height of the 5th floor of the building.

“Flea-!!”

“This crazy-”

bang-!

Spears of flame piercing diagonally from top to bottom hit Eugene. The mana shield that Eugene deployed in advance defended against Yuri’s attack, but he couldn’t hide the apparent embarrassment.

‘What kind of wizard is that… !’

Yuri, who controlled the wind through the acrid smoke and landed safely, was staring at Eugene while maintaining the same posture as before.

“You are so savage… !”

“Why, is this a disqualification?”

Of course, it wasn’t a disqualification. It was free to use the space widely, and in the case of glass, the scope was just too broad… .

‘Can you control the wind so delicately and freely?’

Eugene gnashed his teeth.

“Have a squat… .”

“Use your light body, Master taught you.”

“under… . so? Then how about this!?”

Three magic formations appeared in front of Eugene’s eyes.

When Eugene completed the construction of the 3rd circle magic and pressed down on the ground, a huge rock pillar rose up around Yuri and Eugene.

Eventually, it covered even the sky and gradually took its place in the shape of a cage, but Yuri did not show any reaction even after seeing it.

“With this… . You can’t run away like before? You are dead now!”

Once again, the magic of the 3rd circle, the mana arrow with the induction function added, appeared in Eugene’s hand.

“If you don’t stop this, will you really die?”

“Asane.”

The place where Yuri’s feet touched began to freeze at the briefly chanted magical language.

‘Are you going to try to block that kind of ice now?’

“It’s too late… !”

Eugene laughed at Yuri and was sure of victory.

The ice was still just under Yuri’s feet, but Eugene’s magic formula was over long ago.

“Goes-!!”

Piyung-!

Three mana arrows pierced the glass in a curve.

‘Do you think you can avoid this too!?’

“draft.”

“What-”

With the gale blowing from the left, only the ice sheet remained where the glass had been.

After seeing the mana arrow chasing Yuri, Eugene belatedly figured out the situation, but it was already too late to respond.

“draft.”

“Kyaaagh!”

Once again, the wind blew, and Yuri began to spin around Eugene as she slid across the floor.

Where the glass stepped on, all the floors were frozen. Riding on the wind that blew through the cracks in the prison, Yuri was sliding on the ice floor faster than a mana arrow.

“draft.”

Whoop-!

Then, a strong wind blew again, and the ribbon on Eugene’s head untied and flew into the sky.

In the blind spot that was covered for a moment, before Eugene’s hair, which had fluttered, could return to its original place… . Something cold touched the nape of her neck.

“Asane.”

Sitting right behind Eugene, Yuri placed a small piece of ice on her neck.

‘… !’

Like a cold sweat, the ice melted in Eugene’s body temperature and flowed down. The duel seemed an obvious defeat for Eugene. but.

‘yet!’

At that moment when everything seemed to have stopped, Jun, who was watching the magic duel nervously, screamed.

“glass-! behind!!!”

Yuri sighed at the glimpse of Yujin’s smile.

“You really-”

Taang-!

Yuri took the mana arrows that had been chasing her and smashed them with the miseric code she took out of her bosom, and threw them on the floor one after another, and Eugene’s rock prison collapsed as well, thanks to a gift from Saint Stica Cathedral.

“Ahhh… .”

“Give up.”

To Yu-jin, who was staring at the remnants of her magic in vain, Yuri spoke with compassion.

“There is no shame in losing to me. I learned magic from adventurers, so I don’t fight honestly like you.”

‘adventure? It’s a stupid thing that was popular only 200 years ago… . Could there still be adventurers in this era-‘

Passing by Yu-jin, who was still shocked with an expression of disbelief, Yuri spoke quietly.

“Don’t cry. I won’t spread rumors.”

“… .”

Eugene’s eyes turned to the outside of the arena. Even if Yuri and her friends do not open their mouths, there is no way that rumors will not spread.

Those Paideia girls looking down at Eugene, now on her knees, can’t miss such a big issue… .

“What, I really lost.”

“Is that kid the head of the department? Is there anything wrong?”

“Should we apologize to Jun tomorrow? These days, you still don’t announce it. We’ve been through a lot.”

“Is it because of you Carol-senpai?”

“lol… .”

In fact, they, not Yuri and Jun, were Eugene’s competitors.

The children who ranked in the top 20 of the entire school seemed full of desire to bring themselves down and raise their rank, and the hearts of those they thought were friends seemed to have already left Eugene.

Yu-ri felt disgusted at that behavior and added words as if to comfort Yu-jin.

“… great job. I go.”

“Let’s go too.”

“But, is he really the chief?”

Everyone left Eugene.

“I… . why me.”

On the Dulle-gil, where no one was around, Yu-jin sat down and cried endlessly.

It was sad. I hated everything. I couldn’t figure out why things were so messed up.

“mom… .”

Time passed coldly, as if not pitying Eugene, who had been abandoned by everyone, and soon afterward, dusk was setting and darkness was falling on the trail.

As the days got colder and colder, Yujin was also thinking that she had to go home, but she couldn’t move her feet on the trail, probably because a mouse came down while she was sitting down.

‘Oh, I have to go home… .’

And finally, the night came to Eugene’s bedside.

Under the darkness in the form of a girl, Eugene raised her head in the shadows.

A 2nd year senior who looked like a doll because he was not neat, was smiling at Yujin.

With only pink eyes shining as if they were alive, she said while stroking Eugene’s head with her colder hand than ice.

“Who did it?”

* * *

Around the time Rize was having a hectic time handing over duties to the new student council executives.

Professor Ian’s voice came from Euril’s bedroom.

“… The reason this school focuses only on memorizing magic formulas and casting magic quickly is because that’s how you can use them most effectively!”

“Hey, can you turn that off?”

“… .”

“Is this your living room?”

The devil, Filetta, was focusing on the video of Professor Ian’s class projected by the video recorder without answering.

Euril, who had given up completely at the sight of her not listening to my words, sighed as she combed her messy hair again.

“Yeah, if you’re a keeper, you’ll win 100,000 won. I know it well, but you’ve already turned it back five times now.”

“It is clear that I will be defeated by Professor Ian once again with my method alone. So I’m trying to learn his way. Auril.”

“You can’t go on like this? Look at the kids you brought in in that short period of time.”

Davi Bianca, the most famous student at Agoge, and Eugene Nabi, the first-year senior. In addition, after Filetta visited to persuade him, Haril also expressed his intention to return.

Considering that all the executives, including Rize, had to use the devil’s invention, it wasn’t bad compared to the existing student council.

However, Filetta didn’t even pay attention to Euril, who was making a frustrating noise.

“Euril, don’t you feel anything when you call out those names yourself?”

“what?”

“Everyone is just a loser. I don’t know if I can say that the current student council has regained its power, but people’s perception of it won’t be the same as before.”

“what… .”

“A group of losers, the level right now is just that.”

“Hey, you picked it up and left it without consulting me. What are you saying now!?”

“Considering the situation in which key positions were vacant for a long time enough that the student council function could not be properly performed, there was no other option. Besides, Eugene, Darby, and Haril were very easy to recruit compared to their grades and abilities.”

Eugene, whom Filetta had been observing closely from before, came over as soon as she reached out her hand, as if she had been saved.

Darby, who had been worried longer than expected, came to the student council quietly, unable to overcome her desire for talent, which she had never felt before. The same goes for Haril, who felt the wall against Mina like Davi.

Now the student council has the strength to confront Professor Ian’s forces, but they have not yet been able to prove it.

“To raise the status of the student council, which is at the bottom, we must first aim for the midterm magic duel evaluation.”

The one-on-one battle evaluation in the central magic arena in the school was an important test to get high marks, but it was also a festival that attracted the attention of all students.

“Take control of the professors who will fill out the brackets, and bring Ian’s forces into conflict with the student council executives. If you use your social status, it will be possible enough, right?”

“You’re going to step on Ian’s underlings in front of the entire school and clear yourself of being a loser!”

“That would be the moment of proof.”

However, it is about three weeks until the final and midterm exams. It was enough time for the student council’s perception to be completely hardened to the level of a hostile force that was defeated by Professor Lee Ahn.

“Then what?”

“We are embarking on personnel appointments that can turn the atmosphere around.”

“Who are you going to bring?”

“I will introduce you within today.”

When the lecture in the video ended, Piletta stood up and spread her arms in front of Euril.

Euril stared blankly into her eyes, then wrinkled his expression.

“… Hey, you think I’m your maid, but you haven’t forgotten that I’m a princess, have you?”

“I am now in a position to represent the student council. Do you want it to be this messy?”

“If you find it messy, learn how to dress! If the leave of absence is over after this summer vacation, you have to take classes, so what are you going to do?”

“Hmm. I guess I should learn the basics from you someday.”

“Yeah, change your tone. Even if you just stay still, you stand out. Are you going to act like this in front of other people?”

“I am realizing the need for liberal arts classes. But I’m in a hurry right now, so I’ll put it off until summer vacation.”

“… Seriously, what kind of devil are you if you can’t even tie a tie properly?”

Ayril’s hand trembled a little as he tied the tie of Paletta, who was stretching her arms without moving like a doll.

For some reason, this situation was strange to her. As a noble princess, she grew up receiving touch from someone all her life, so it was the first time she touched someone’s body like this.

‘I think I understand why frills are friendly with the lower ones… .’

“I will go.”

The drowned body, unable to understand Auril’s mind, left her dryly.
