The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman chapter 120

The night of the next day when a group of monsters began to swarm.

The vanguard of monsters, the same number as yesterday, began pushing toward the border.

“let’s begin.”

I don’t know if my voice will be heard by the warriors who haven’t fully recovered from yesterday’s fatigue.

After spitting out a formal word, he simultaneously cast the spells fixed on his ten fingers, just like yesterday.

Two light blasts. Two Arcane Explosions. and three explosive spells.

The masses of explosive magic that broke and exploded all over the battlefield blew away about 30% of the vanguard this time, turning the battlefield into a mess.

‘Kreur… .’

‘Kieek… keek… !!’

Unlike the kobolds and goblins who threw away their weapons yesterday and ran away in a hurry, today even the small monsters were calmly maintaining their battle line.

Did you already learn it overnight?

After using the first explosion magic several times, it will not explode again.

Or, there is a possibility that the woman in charge of them ‘educated’ them.

The only thing that mattered was that either made them a slightly more demanding opponent.

Everyone must have accumulated large and small fatigue in their bodies from yesterday’s battle, but will the northern warriors be able to hold out against the slightly more monsters?

I had no choice but to lean on that part as I had exhausted the means I could do right away.

Just like yesterday, the shield soldiers broke the formation, and hundreds of warriors rushed right behind them.

Their swords and axes cut or stabbed the monster’s neck and chest.

Even in the midst of this, the movement of the golden-haired lady and the blue-haired knight in particular caught my eye.

It’s as if from here to here is your own territory. Stella and Willia make their own circle with their swords and deal with the monsters rushing in from all directions one by one.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but it was a movement that seemed much more energetic than yesterday.

Perhaps bringing up the story that I might be related to the Dark Church set fire to their hearts.

‘Hwaaagh!’

In the meantime, a huge halo of light stretched out from near the outpost and fanned out across the battlefield.

Creatures hit by the beam of light that enveloped the battlefield showed two major reactions.

As soon as they touched the holy light, their tired bodies were restored and they were able to move more quickly.

And an army of monsters complaining of pain by touching the divine light.

A divine spell that grants the blessing of the sun god to allies and leaves pain and scars on monsters.

The divine wave enveloped half of the battlefield and strengthened the allied line.

“Ha ha, ha, ha… .”

I poked my head out of the guard post and moved my gaze to the point where the beam of light started, and there was Saint Claire lying on the floor breathing heavily as if exhausted.

Apparently, he used the prayer of salvation to replenish his lack of divine power.

It was a spell that I had been advised not to use if possible, as the body would become weak for a while after writing it, and if it was used frequently, there might be aftereffects.

It seemed that it was a judgment made that there was no choice but to maintain this battle line that continued for two days in a row.

Knowing that, I will have to thank her in silence instead of spitting out advice as usual.

If it wasn’t for Saint Clair’s holy wave, there would have been deaths in today’s battle.

With that thought in mind, I gathered my remaining magic power and prepared a long-range wind magic, ‘Wind Rifle’.

I knocked it through the necks of some of the farthest trolls in my range.

Eventually, as the magic exhaustion approached, he fell backwards on the guard post.

Now I just trust my allies and wait for the morning to come.

Just like Saint Clare, who is breathing exhaustedly under the guard post.

Like the first day, even the battle of the second day, which started early in the evening, was finally finished until dawn the next day.

A victory could be considered a victory in the sense that it was somehow blocked and prevented from entering the territory at the border.

More than that, the damage suffered on our side was not negligible, so it was a bit early to rejoice.

“Heh, heh… . ugh… .”

“Haaa, haaa… .”

“… … .”

Warriors showed signs of exhaustion or were wounded one after another, and there were even serious injuries with broken legs or arms during the melee.

It was only the next day, but the fact that they suffered this much damage was already a crisis.

Although the number of monsters killed and cut down by me, Stella, and Willia was not that small.

Just that number was not enough to stop the monsters that were flooding in in history.

Even after the next day, the number of monsters rushing in to push the north didn’t show any signs of stopping even after the next day.

At this rate, the first line of defense would be breached in less than five days.

If that happens, Stella and Willia, who are fighting on the front lines of this battlefield, will be in the most danger.

The same would be true of especially skilled warriors from the north, such as Erahl, Kakula, and Hazark.

In fact, the story that the first line of defense was breached was not too different from the story that it would become impossible to completely block the monster army.

The moment the 1st line of defense and main forces are lost, the remaining 2nd and 3rd lines of defense are just buying time.

It was a situation where new operations that could improve the situation, as well as the help of external reinforcements, were desperately needed.

It was time to talk to Charahl.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

A medium-sized tent prepared in one camp.

He pushed back the entrance of the medium-sized tent used for strategy meetings and Sharahl’s temporary lodgings and pushed his face into it.

Fortunately, I was able to confirm that several warriors, including Sharahl, were inside.

“Sharahl-nim, can I see you for a moment?”

“Is it an urgent matter?”

“If you are in a hurry, you can also say that you are in a hurry. I don’t know if it’s more urgent than the strategy meeting between Sharahl and the other warriors.”

“Come in at once.”

“Then excuse me.”

After receiving Sharahl’s permission, they entered their tent where they were having a meeting.

Naturally, I attached my butt to the empty seat in the conference room.

I have to act confidently as if this place was my place from the beginning, so that I can give trust to others who listen to my story.

“… … .”

Sharahl, who grasped the meaning of my actions, fixed his gaze on me for a moment, then immediately started introducing myself to the other warriors.

“There may be some friends you already know, but this friend is Konrad Perdalos, the leader of the students who were dispatched from the academy this year for practice.”

“It’s an honor to meet you all, great warriors of the north.”

“And he is also the one who turned the battle situation in our favor with magic during the battle against the monsters for two days in a row.

Every warrior who participated in battle without running away must have seen it at least once. Hearing the sound of an explosion among the crowd of monsters, seeing them explode.

All of them were the result of this one student, so I think they are qualified enough to participate in the meeting.”

As soon as Charahl’s introduction was over, his gaze at me was divided into three main categories.

“Hmm, is that the wizard?”

“… … .”

“A guy like this who seems to be fine? Rather, that blonde lady who wields her sword non-stop in front of the battlefield is more like a warrior!”

A little courtesy and an acknowledgment of the fighting methods I used.

The kind of gaze that tries to look and observe me with suspicion.

And with fury, in three ways I can’t admit I’m sitting here.

Although I acknowledged that Stella was more like a warrior than I was.

Even so, I couldn’t just resign from this position, so I opened my mouth to convince those who doubted or criticized me.

“That’s too much praise, Lord Sharahl. How can a youngster who has been on the battlefield for only two days or so have the same qualifications as the great warriors of the north?

I’m not a valiant warrior like you who can wield a sword and an ax on the front line and fight, I’m just a mage doing trivial tricks from afar.

However, there were some information that I thought could only be seen by the eyes of a kid as much as I looked at the war situation broadly, so I borrowed this seat to tell you about it, so don’t worry about the idea that I’ll be pretending to be a great warrior by participating in this event. You may not.”

Sharahl, the captain of the great warriors, floats me up.

Conversely, I lower my own evaluation and gain the trust of other warriors.

That was the way outsiders in the North at least voiced their opinions.

“… Yes, if so.”

“As long as you don’t pretend to be a proud northern warrior! There’s nothing I can’t hear you say!”

honor and glory. It was the warriors of the north who voluntarily wielded an ax for those two things and pushed themselves into the battlefield.

If so, it was enough to just keep the value they wanted.

The important thing now is not to be recognized as a great warrior in the north or not, but rather to explain how to stop the monster army coming in tomorrow.

“First of all, let me tell you about the war situation I observed today from the perspective of a mere kid.”

“““… … .”””

“If we assume that the same number of monsters as yesterday will invade the north today, it is expected that great damage will occur.”

Some of the people in the meeting room who heard me nodded.

Naturally, words of repulsion escaped from the mouths of some proud warriors.

“What nonsense!”

“Aren’t the monsters running away, surprised by the northern spirit every morning! Twice already we have been victorious!”

“However, unlike the first day’s battle, there were some serious injuries in yesterday’s battle.”

“… … .”

“I know that the warriors here are brave enough to fight for three days and three nights, but you know that not all warriors in the north can fight like that.

Even today, it would have led to even greater damage had it not been for the holy wave of Saint Clare. Tomorrow, the more tired warriors will face off against the invading monsters.

Am I wrong, Miss Grisula?”

After hearing my explanation, the warriors began to lose their temper a little.

“that’s… It is something that can be overcome with spirit.”

“I know. That is why I came to the conference hall despite the rudeness.”

After confirming that Grisula, the great warrior who had spoken out against her, became quiet.

After standing up, he pointed to the large battlefield map on the table and continued his explanation.

“First of all, in tomorrow’s battle, we will use magic in a slightly different way than before.”

“If you’re going to bring up the story of tainting the warriors’ sacred duel with magic… .”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Warriors do what warriors do, and I just fight that way.”

“… … .”

“I just came to ask you to change the battle line of some of the warriors a little, as it looks like we will have to change the battle situation tomorrow.”

Having said that, I moved the shield soldiers listed on the map and placed the yellow and blue pieces I had brought on top of it.

Everyone had a vague idea of who these meant without having to explain.

“… In tomorrow’s battle, I would like to ask you to form the troops near the guard posts in this line.”

“But this line will be dangerous near your outpost.”

“Fine. However, this method is the most efficient.”

And when the need arises, it’s enough to switch to close combat.

After hearing my words, Sharahl nodded and continued the conversation.

“… Got it. Since you said so, let’s do it in the battle tonight.”

“Thank you for your permission, Lord Sharahl.”

“Even so, please don’t do anything that could endanger your life.

When a student who has been dispatched to practice dies, that boy, Russell, nags him badly.”

It wasn’t a very funny joke.
