[573] Reaction and response (5)
As a steamy haze rose from Frings's body, Dorothy canceled her victory pose and took a defensive posture.
'Hickory defense tendency 100%.'
Feeling a distorted hostility that could not be seen as natural, Dorothy unwittingly activated the algorithm.
"Dorothy, you are a strange woman."
The moment she saw Frings' eyes, Dorothy's spirit began to scream madly.
It was a coolness that was not in the world.
"It looks like you are thinking nothing, but in reality you are thinking a lot. say it. How afraid are you now?"
Dorothy bit her lip until it bled.
"Actually, you're scared to death, aren't you? I'm afraid I'll die Well, you are always terrified."
"I am… … I have no idea."
"is it? Did you think that if I said I had no idea, they would just let it go?"
Frings spread his hands in a buoyant posture.
'Ice devil.'
From behind him, dozens of ugly pillars of ice, like spider legs, protruded like blades.
'Die. Die.'
Dorothy's body trembled.
"The expressionless face is a mask to hide the appearance of a frightened child. Was it so amazing, the body of an adult?"
Frings, the president of the Hide and Seek Research Club, had insight into Dorothy's life.
"say it. what do you imagine? What expression are you making?"
Dorothy's lips trembled.
"If you won't tell… … ."
Frings's mouth was grotesquely torn.
"I will bring out the child inside you."
Dorothy's head went pale, and her whole body trembled as if struck by lightning.
-Activation of mimesis algorithm. emergency escape.
As the wizard's brain went into shock, Hickory switched to automatic mode and ran away into the woods with Dorothy in his arms.
"… … ."
Quadd!
The thorns of the Ice Demon split and fell to the ground.
"Quack."
Frings covered his face with his hands and tried to live slowly.
"Sorry. I wanted to see you scream."
Returning with a greasy face, he held the scramble in his hand and shouted back, and the three-member party (○●○) was completed.
'It's a hand worth playing for now.'
After checking the status of the Master Card, he muttered as he parted through the bushes.
"Who shall I destroy now?"
* * *
"omg! omg!"
Entering the deep forest, Dorothy put her hand on the tree trunk and let out a rough breath.
Hickory, whose mimesis algorithm was turned off, looked at him with a smile, but it didn't feel as pleasant as before.
"Huh!"
Because he was completely crushed by Frings' goosebumps, he ran away without even thinking about taking the scramble.
"How to… … ."
Dorothy sat down helplessly and wept.
"I got caught."
I got caught.
A child hiding in an adult body.
* * *
Hersie, who checked the master card, looked at Shirone's current hand, ○●○●ⓡ.
'weird.'
It was a question I had after losing yesterday to Shirone in Caen.
The reason for responding to Shirone's kang while catching ●●●○ (Dictator) was because Shirone's hand was all ⓡⓡⓡⓡ.
The dictator also has no reason to shout Pao if it is the second strongest hand in step 4.
But the result was ○●○● (democracy).
Of course, it is probabilistically correct that four random cards are opened and white and black come out in equal proportions.
'No, probability isn't like that.'
Being too probabilistic is what makes it feel rather non-probable.
'I care about what Kayden said yesterday.'
Also, the fifth card was randomly selected.
'It's the feeling of not being afraid of defeat. If the build-up is wrong, I will have no choice but to lose myself in the 6th stage.'
It was a situation where both sides of the experiment were over when allies were to hang kang and defeat each other.
'Do you think hiding one card in a state where democracy has already been revealed is more important than losing a game?'
After thinking, Hersey gave a convocation signal.
Currently, his hand is ●● (Heretic). He was a loser who had nothing to regret even if he was defeated for the sake of experimentation.
'Tomorrow, Shirone will leave the game.'
* * *
Day 3 of Scramble Royale.
At the place where Scramble was summoned, Shirone met Cayden again.
'If only… … .'
Cayden's hand is ○○○ (religion).
One selected ○ (white), and two cards were combined by opening ⓡⓡ (random).
'It's a difficult card to develop.'
That's why it wasn't a good situation for Shirone.
If Cayden bets Kang, his hand, ●○●○● (Revolution), will be revealed, and from then on, doubts will arise.
"This is it."
Cayden raised his crosssword vertically and said.
"I will kill you today."
Caden's attitude of not even thinking about Kang made Shirone quite relieved.
'In a sense, it's amazing.'
Although they had different inclinations, it felt like Rian was visible in Caden's stubbornness.
"The fate of the Red Cross."
Cayden muttered as he placed his palm on his sword.
"Lead my talents."
As the blade burned red, Shirone's eyes widened.
'That's… … .'
"Absorb magic power."
Cayden charged as the fire on his sword blazed.
'Magic Swordsman!'
It was a title that could only be obtained by being at the level of Cayden, who was in Class 1 of the graduating class, with magic alone.
"I don't know what secret he is hiding… … ."
The cross sword was drawn horizontally.
"I will bury you with death."
A huge cloud of fire rushed in like a tidal wave, burning the entire area where Shirone was.
"Keugh!"
It was a magic swordsman's technique that had never been shown at school.
"Taha! Taha!"
Every time Cayden swung his sword, a 6-meter-high cloud of fire rushed in while eating reverse rotation.
The radius was so wide that it could not be avoided except by teleportation, and lightning struck over the head of Shirone, who stepped back.
'Lightning magic?'
The thunderbolt-infused crosssword plunged vertically into the ground.
Demon Sword – Lightning Impact.
As the blue lightning spread across the ground like a spider's web, Shirone's body convulsed.
'Poems of fire!'
At the same time, the sequence ceremony entered the realm of reverence.
1 second ago.
Demon Sword – Lightning Impact.
As soon as the electric shock spread, Shirone jumped into the sky, and Kayden ground his teeth.
'I just can't understand.'
It's this feeling again.
No matter how excellent a mage is, in the realm of martial arts and nerves, the schema should be overwhelmed.
Also, it was a situation that was proceeding with such a development.
'What happened!'
The reason why I can't figure it out no matter how hard I roll my head is because there is nothing wrong.
"then… … !"
Cayden twisted his face like a wolf and prepared for a deadly attack.
"Enhance magical power!"
The cross sword vibrated and emitted a powerful high frequency sound.
It was a Kaiser type of sound magic.
'You can use all magic?'
He was a genius of a different kind than Fermi.
Cayden swung his sword at Shirone with an absurd expression.
"Can I avoid the sound too?"
Aaaaaang!
The shock wave devastated the surroundings, but Shirone penetrated the shock wave intact.
'how?'
not space
It was time to escape.
'I have no choice but to do it.'
When the incarnation of the light angel permeated Shirone, Cayden finally realized the identity of his sixth sense.
'That's it. It's not a fluke. It's definitely some kind of technology.'
As the Photon Cannon was compressed in her hand, a golden afterimage identical to body lines spread out from Shirone's body like a fan.
Cayden, who had been attacking fiercely until now, took a backward step in front of Shirone for the first time.
Shirone, who had shortened the distance by teleportation, swung her hand with a photon cannon, and Kayden turned her crosssword 180 degrees to defend the side.
"huh?"
Surprisingly, Shirone was approaching from the other side.
"damn!"
Cayden, who raised the schema's ability to the maximum, defended again at terrifying speed, but Shirone changed direction as if bending again.
A surprising insight struck Cayden's mind from the natural movement, as if it had been predestined from the beginning, rather than by twisting the trajectory with magical powers.
'if… … Is it time?'
At the same time as he thought, Cayden's arm moved at a terrifying speed.
"Big!"
Block, block, block again.
Cayden's physical ability, which changed his defensive stance seven times in a split second, was so fast that a wizard could not even imitate it, but Shirone's photon cannon was slowly closing the distance to the point where it was impossible to defend.
'It's like… … .'
At the end of her thoughts, Cayden was dazed.
'infinite.'
It felt like an infinite Shirone was rushing in.
bang!
I heard the sound of my ribs breaking as the photon cannon slammed into my side.
"Ouch!"
Cayden, whose eyes shook from the shock, flew about 10 meters and crashed into the wall.
"Aww!"
Even with the schema's regenerative power, as long as the bones are broken, fighting is impossible right now.
'I have to take away the Master Card!'
Shirone immediately ran to Cayden.
Cayden, who hurriedly stood up, knelt down on one knee again as his legs gave out.
'Let's faint.'
The moment the photon cannon was held in her hand, Cayden shouted with a distorted face.
"Shirone, Kang!"
Lulu's voice came as an electrical signal.
"Kayden walked Caen."
If you don't make a choice within 1 second, you lose.
"Kang!"
Cayden's hand was shattered and Shirone's hand, ●○●○● (Revolution), was revealed.
Also, the brief moment when Kang had to be received as Kang gave the Hercy team a chance to turn around.
"Now!"
As Hercy shouted and jumped out, Anchal, Eden, and Fisho appeared from all sides at the same time.
'Isn't this Eden?'
Shirone, whose top priority was to stop Eden from collecting cards, hurriedly turned and headed towards the scramble.
At the same time as catching the scramble, Hersy shouted.
"Stop it before it opens!"
Anchal walked Caen.
Her hand is ○○●○○ (Emperor).
It was a higher hand than the revolution, and it was broken with one unopened ⓡ card left.
– Unopened random cards cannot affect or be received in the match.
This is also a fact that has already been verified through experiments, so Hercy, Eden, and Fisho all shouted at the same time without having to check the master card.
"Shirone! Kang!"
If everyone hangs Kang, Shirone can't harm anyone.
'finished! You're out!'
It was called Operation Shirone Kill.
"We lost the battle in Caen. No harm can be done to Shirone until the next scramble summons."
"what?"
Hersy checked her MasterCard, thinking there must be something wrong with her hearing.
'Extinction (●○●●○●).'
"wait for a sec. No, why is this?"
Cayden grabbed his side and said.
"Control your time. It's that kind of ability."
It feels as if reality is obliterated and a new reality is born.
You can't feel the reset in the realm of thinking, but the physical evidence of the card proves it to be true.
'hour? Time?'
It was the first time in her life that Hersie had such a bewildered expression, but she soon came to her senses and looked around and shouted.
"Bounce! retreat!"
The moment everyone fled, the person Shirone targeted was Cayden.
Although I was injured, it was also a moment to relieve my resentment that I had been aiming for an opportunity until now.
At that time, Eden ran and blocked the way of Kayden, who was still unable to move.
'Saint Barrier!'
As the spirit zone emitted a brilliant light and formed a barrier, Shirone's eyebrows wrinkled after hearing the ability from Eruki.
'I need more power.'
As soon as I opened the immortal function with my eyes wide open, the photon cannon shook like a mad dance.
It was Eden that made me shudder at the moment, but I bit my lip again and prepared to accept it.
'Photon Cannon!'
A flash of light with a diameter of nearly 1 meter pierced the Saint Barrier in an instant.
The shape of the sphere, which did not budge even with the detonation magic, dented like cotton, and the other side swelled and exploded with a bang.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
As Eden, whose omnipotence had been destroyed, crouched on the floor holding his head, everyone who fled turned their heads in amazement.
"Eden's… … ."
Defense magic has been pierced.
It was a sight no one in the senior class had ever seen.

[574] Almighty Monster (1)
"This… … Nonsense."
It was the defensive magic of Eden that no one in the graduation evaluation, not even the graduation exam, had ever destroyed.
'Didn't he come back as a monster?'
Shirone rushed at Cayden before Hercy had time to make a decision.
"Stop!"
Realizing the moment you shout is impossible.
Since they had been defeated by Shirone in Caen, no one on the united team could harm them.
Jincheon magic-precise wheat.
As the illusion magic of the temple unfolded, the scenery Shirone was looking at changed to lustful.
"what!"
What is conjured up by Gestalt, though not in definite form, is conceivable lewdness.
The dense metaphors that permeate trees, rocks, and even grass defied reason and stung instinct.
"Now! Run away!"
Taking advantage of the split second, Fisho moved a giant spider, grabbed Cayden and Eden, and left.
When the illusion of precision disappeared, Shirone's face was flushed.
The sound of his heart pounding wildly hit the inside of his eardrums.
'Anchal… … .'
It wasn't just that I was messing with my eyes by showing a lowly illusion.
He was a master of stimulating the original psychology of humans using Gestalt, the specialty of illusion wizards.
'It's a pity, but breaking Eden's hand is a great harvest. Because I can earn at least one more day.'
Moreover, since Cayden was also injured, it would be impossible to participate in the match right away.
'I'm going to need to rewrite the board.'
A flash of a muster signal shot up above Shirone's head.
* * *
midnight.
The combined team, which failed in the operation to kill Shirone, gathered at the hideout with sad faces.
Cayden was sitting helplessly with a bandage wrapped around his waist, and Eden was kneeling in the corner of the forest, shedding tears and praying.
"I am disturbed."
Mounted on a giant spider, Fisho descended from the top of a leafy tree to its trunk.
"I barely collected scrambles. If this is the case, there is a high chance of being pushed back on the 4th day."
Hersy tutted and clicked her tongue.
After betting Caen on Shirone, all of them were ruined, so an all-out war was impossible for the time being.
'Because the other side will unconditionally hang Kang.'
Collecting only a few scrambles was the only achievement of the day, as it was necessary to prevent the master card from being taken away by attacking with a machine gun.
"How are you going to power off?"
Anchal opened his mouth.
"Kaden is injured. Even if you receive recovery magic through the research members, it will take a day."
If it wasn't for Ahnchal's illusion magic, Cayden and even Eden would have had their Master Card stolen, so it was fortunate that it ended like this.
Hersh said to Anchal.
"Thank you for being alive. This strategy is my mistake. Stopping Shirone's motion with the illusion was effective."
At that time, Anchal was also defeated in Caen and could not harm Shirone.
"Honestly, it was a gamble. Because the definition of harm is ambiguous. However, since they said that secondary traps were allowed, I risked disqualification and attempted it."
'Hmph, it must be true that the experiment has already been completed.'
Nevertheless, the reason Ahnchal is complaining is because of the non-gong peddling after the Scramble Royale.
'If the match is won, the research society in the shadows will confront each other again. Depending on how much you were involved in the victory, the priority of Istas' investigation authority will be determined.'
It is a powerful party with the heads of each research society, but in the end, the limits of the united team existed.
"I can fight."
Caden said with a frown on his face.
"I don't need recovery magic. Starting tomorrow, I will catch Shirone again."
The obsession was to the point of being desperate.
"No, take the recovery magic. There are still four days left, so there is plenty of room to make up for it."
"You said you could fight. Such an injury… … ."
"Kaden, this is an order."
Hercy was Fermi's authorized representative.
"Then I will disobey your order. Even Fermira can't move me freely."
Hersey's gaze grew cold.
"I admit it honestly. If Shirone hit you with the magic that destroyed Eden's defenses, he's already dead. His torso must have been blown off, not his ribs."
'Damn it!'
It was already a defeated field, so it was useless to say anything. Cayden bit his molar as if his jaw would break.
"God, forgive my poor self-indulgence. Give me the teachings of infinite love… … ."
The voice of Eden praying in a trance penetrated the silence.
Hersie, who had been looking at her, turned back to Caden.
"I can't stick to the same strategy unless you stop Syrone's solo."
It wasn't something anyone else could do.
"I'll do it."
Eden came to the end of the prayer before I knew it.
"you?"
"From now on, I will collect white cards again. If we create and protect infinite (○○○○○○) in the shortest time, won't we win?"
"But you are also broken. Failure is more dangerous."
"No, it's magic that's broken, not my faith."
"I know how you feel, but… … ."
Eden's eyes widened fiercely.
"you can do it. From now on, I will be different. However, there are conditions."
"Hmm."
So far, even if it's a team, it's a competitor in the graduating class after all.
As with the seal on the temple, there must have been a trump card that Eden did not want to reveal.
'Putting a condition means that we will see the end here.'
Hersy judged so and said.
"Okay, let's listen first. What are the conditions?"
"If I can keep the infinite hand until the 7th day, give Istas investigation priority."
Hershey's expression softened.
"Hey, no matter what country it is… … ."
"No, I am suggesting it to everyone here. The numbers in the hand are already starting to spread. However, if it were me, I could certainly combine and protect an infinite number of cards. Isn't that a much better choice than paying the price by losing the game?"
It was clear that if Eden had a really hidden card, the odds of reversal success were high.
'Eden will do his best. It's a matter of religious belief.'
Hersy looked back at everyone and said.
"Don't vote. However, it cannot be passed unless unanimous. Raise your hand if you agree."
All the combined teams might have their own calculations, but in the end, they started raising their hands one by one.
'It doesn't matter if your priorities are a little delayed. Because she'll never find it anyway. If you succeed, you will be rewarded, and even if Eden fails, nothing will change. It's better to leave her for now.'
Finally, when Cayden raised his hand, Hersy spoke.
"Okay, winning bid. Stick to Eden's strategy as before. Do it right this time."
Anchal asked.
"Then who marks Shirone? Even if you don't know how to manipulate time, you always seem to be able to create the strongest combinations."
This was the biggest problem.
Even if Eden collects Infinite, if Shirone cannot be stopped, it will eventually be a tie, and then the winner will be decided by the hand of the next rank.
Hersy, who was searching for the right person, opened her mouth.
"Frings."
Cayden was the only battle mage on the team since he was injured.
"No, I'm not going to exclusively mark Shirone."
Frings said, touching his mustache.
"I can't break it. So honest."
said Fisho.
"There is definitely a soft side. If you dig into that weakness… … ."
"It's not soft."
Hersy's face turned cold as she stared into the darkness.
"little… … It hurts your pride."
This, too, was as Fermi expected, but in this case it was not pleasant.
– Cayden won't do it alone.
Before Scramble Royale began, Fermi said:
"To block Shirone, you need a double or triple trap."
Hersey couldn't understand what he was saying.
"In the first half of the gold ring's own simulation, it was only about 7th in the final. After all, we are ranked 1st to 5th."
"It was like that until the first half."
"Will anything change? Besides, in this scramble royale, Kayden will use a sword. You know, swordsmanship skills?"
Even Fermi acknowledged that.
"Of course, Cayden can subdue Shirone. Without Armand, magicians are weak against physical power."
"Then what is the problem?"
"But he… … We will eventually find a solution."
"Didn't you hate Shirone?"
Fermi laughed.
"I don't hate anyone. It just makes me hate it. Anyway, Shirone doesn't stop. If growth is accelerating, it's safe to assume that it's always ahead of expectations. In short, it is a defensive investment."
The key to the judgment was that Miro took Shirone with him.
"Then what if Caden doesn't work?"
Fermi pointed at Hercy with his index finger.
"In that case, do this."
said Hersy, who had lost her mind.
"Okay, Shirone's dedicated mark is given up. Instead, Frings, you have work to do."
"If you can. What is your strategy?"
A cool smile formed on Hersey's lips.
"If you want to come out like an old man… … I have no choice but to attach a real kkondae."
* * *
The faces of Shirone and the others gathered at the hideout were generally bright.
"Okay, reversed! We'll keep going like this!"
Amy, who joined the team last, was currently the most excited.
While everyone who guessed the reason laughed, Nade turned to Shirone and said.
"It was perfect timing. Because I destroyed more than 10 cards in one blow."
"I'm a little sorry though. I wanted to drag it until the 4th day so that there was no room for a reversal, but the other side approached me first."
Eruki said.
"From now on, I will keep an eye out for Kang over there. But it can also be used as a tactic. Anyway, I'm going to keep driving the victory. It destroyed Eden's defenses."
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see her naked, but… … ouch!"
Sabina hit Nade in the back of the head.
While everyone was enjoying the friendly atmosphere, there was one person who was particularly silent, and that was Dorothy.
Eruki asked, knowing that the response had slowed since the 3rd scramble was summoned today.
"Dorothy, what happened?"
"huh? no."
"I want to ask you, why did you retreat so quickly in the third round?"
Dorothy answered in a sensitive voice.
"It was dangerous."
"I am not blaming you. I trust your judgment. However, if there is a problem, after solving it… … ."
"It's nothing!"
Everyone looked at them in amazement, and Dorothy, realizing her mistake immediately, bowed her head.
"Sorry, sorry. I will sincerely apologize."
said Amy.
"are you okay. Because if the battle overheats, you can become sensitive."
Nade helped.
"okay. First of all, take a good rest today and do well tomorrow. You can win."
After a day's battle, Shirone's team was disbanded, leaving only Eruki to stay.
* * *
Day 4 Scrumble Royale, open.
"The 2nd scramble has been summoned."
Having already collected six cards, Shirone focused on destroying the opponent's scramble.
The closest coordinates were the forest near the integrated education center.
"depart!"
Since he was winning, Shirone, who was even more excited, ran through the streets in an instant and found a sparkling scramble.
"found!"
At that time, the ground shuddered and an earwig three times larger than a human came up.
'It's a fish!'
-Only participants can collect scrambles.
When the insect that swallowed the scramble turned and ran away, Shirone immediately launched the homing photon cannon.
-However, the location of the scramble may be moved due to factors other than the participants.
This fact has already been confirmed by Dorothy's experiment, and the coordinates of the moved scramble are not recorded on the Master Card.
'We have to catch it before it runs away underground.'
Four of Shirone's homing photon cannons hit trees, and the remaining three landed on the insect's carapace.
Key eh eh!
As I screamed and ran toward the crouching insect, soft light began to shine through the cracks in the exoskeleton.
Insect Magic – Bombardment.
A bug that has evolved to have a self-destruct function.
Usually, it is grafted onto small insects, but the current scale was about to fly in a radius of 5 meters.
"Keugh!"
Shards of insects hit Shirone's body.
'It's not an impromptu response. This is an ambush.'
I was sure because I knew the Insect series.
Insect magicians use the 'ecosystem in the head' to induce specific evolution in the egg state.
It would have taken at least two hours to develop the self-destruct function in an insect of this size.
'What are you aiming for?'
Shirone's eyes widened as he expanded the Spirit Zone to find Fisho.
'Is there one more person?'

===============================
[575] Almighty Monster (2)
As if time had sped up tens of thousands of times, icicles were created in the sky and hit the floor.
thud! thud! thud!
Frings appeared through the thick ice pillars.
'Frings? why?'
Even with a surprise attack, combat is impossible anyway.
It is because there is no one in the current union team with a higher hand than Shirone, so it is enough to throw away Kang.
"This isn't fun, but… … ."
Chobakneung.
As Frings waved his arm, the air froze thinly and rushed towards Shirone.
It was so sharp that it could not be seen if the light was not reflected, and the trees in the forest were cut down and fell.
"Frings! Kang!"
Shirone's eyes filled with shock as she hung Kang while avoiding the ultra-thin tomb.
'what?'
Lulu's electrical signals did not enter her head.
"Didn't you think it was too easy to have Judge? You have to be familiar with the rules."
As Chobakneung was continuously cast, the landscape began to be cut as if the sense of perspective had disappeared.
'What happened?'
Shirone, who had escaped through the cutting gap, stomped on the ground and shouted again.
"Frings! Kang!"
Caen didn't get caught this time either, but two attempts were enough to pinpoint the source of the problem.
'has disappeared.'
In synesthesia, which felt like a spirit zone, the presence of Frings suddenly disappeared.
'I see.'
– To cast Kang on a specific target, the Spirit Zone must be in contact.
During battle, it's normal for each other's spirit zones to overlap, so I don't pay attention to it, but it's different in a black and white match.
This is because if you evade the spirit zone at the moment Kang is cast and leave the radius, the block will not be activated.
'That's the theory. But is it really possible?'
Unless you enter the Image Zone, the Spirit Zone is not something that can be visually confirmed.
Therefore, avoiding the Spirit Zone through synesthesia combined with the five senses required murderous sensitivity.
"Because I'm a bit sensitive."
He had fought numerous wizards so far, but this was the first tactic to evade the Spirit Zone.
'Third in senior class, Frings. Are you saying you're not here because you're lucky?'
It was also understandable that Frings hadn't paid much attention to card collecting until now.
'From the beginning, Kang is impossible. You have the confidence that you can absolutely avoid it.'
If it wasn't for Arin's level of mental activity, it would be difficult to catch Frings only with the transformation of four ways.
'But is it really?'
When Shirone, who was burning with a sense of triumph, widened her eyes, Frings raised both arms and cast magic.
"Ice spirit rampage."
Hundreds of tadpole-like icy clouds spread out from the springs, penetrating the forest's features.
As if an ice age had arrived, everything was frosted and frozen.
'Dangerous!'
This is not the 2,000th.
The reason why fire and cold are called the best offensive magic in practice is that they deal with environments in which creatures cannot survive.
"shall we start?"
Attaching the thorns of the Ice Demon, Frings rushed.
* * *
"Now, today's integrated class is four-way transformation. The spirit zone changes according to the spirit of the wizard, but it is inefficient for actual use. Therefore, it is important to learn the basics of the four ways."
At the gathering of the advanced class students, Ethella explained the four ways as usual.
The children who had just entered the advanced class had their ears pricked up, and the class five or four students were just waiting for the practice time to return with an expressionless expression.
"Oh, boring."
At Mark's muttering, Maria put her index finger to her mouth.
"Shh. I will listen to you, sir."
"sorry. But I think I'm in a slump these days."
"Are you training hard?"
The skills of Mark and Maria, who are receiving personal guidance from Thaad, have improved, and are currently ranked 1st and 2nd in Class 4.
"That's the problem. It's boring to work hard. I guess it's time to leave the advanced class."
Maria had been thinking the same thing lately.
"Well, the seniors we know also worried about promotion to the senior class around this time. But you haven't had Tio yet, have you?"
It was undecided whether Eider, who was currently hospitalized in the infirmary, would drop out of his senior year.
"it's annoying. If you're traumatized by a fracture in your whole body, you can just say you're giving up this year. Why are you stubborn? Blocking the juniors' path."
"Where is that word? to the senior."
"Tch, I heard that Shirone sunbaenim messed around and got hurt, but it turned out better. Anyway, come out Tio. Because I'm going to apply in first place. Is that okay?"
Maria shrugged.
"follow your heart. I'll do it according to the rules."
Even if she entered the senior class right away, she believed that there would be no merit other than experiencing the graduation exam in advance.
"Wow!"
When Ethella entered the image zone and quickly performed a four-way transformation, Class Seven erupted in cheers.
"Okay, did you all understand? Then, from now on, each class will be scattered and transformed in four ways… … ."
Wow!
Suddenly, an explosion erupted in the forest, and broken trees rose into the sky.
"What is it?"
While the advanced class students were staring at her with bewildered expressions, Ethella quickly turned around and surveyed the forest.
Two seniors entered the integrated classroom training center without the need to detect it as a spirit zone.
"uh? Senior Shirone?"
Chased by Frings' indiscriminate attack, Shirone realized that she had entered the integrated class training center before she knew it.
"this… … !"
Without even time to blame himself for the mistake, the Ice Fiend's ice thorns aimed precisely at the vital point and flew into it.
'The precision is really amazing. In terms of sense alone, it's a level that surpasses Dante's.'
As the cover of the forest disappeared, Shirone and Frings began to use offensive magic in earnest.
Diffuse reflections, fragments of exploding ice.
At the high-level workshop beyond imagination, the advanced class children watched in awe.
However, the admiration was short-lived, and as the power of magic soared exponentially, threatening the surroundings, the students in the lower classes jumped to their feet.
"Aaaaaa! Dangerous!"
Frings backed up in a horseback position and cast magic while bending 10 fingers.
'Bing wave!'
As the waves of ice scratched the ground and thousands of ice spikes spread forward, Shirone also cast a berserker.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The fragments of the ice wave were scattered and the frozen powder glittered like a star in broad daylight.
"Stop it! It's class time now!"
Ethella shouted, but Shirone and Frings, who fell into a half-trance, did not stop fighting.
When the homing photon cannon bypassed the training grounds, even the upper class students of the advanced class turned and ran away.
"Pi, dodge!"
The distance was far, but the speed of the homing photon cannon was so fast that I couldn't help but think that it was flying toward me.
"Look out. what's the matter?"
Hearing the sound of Fisho's insect magic explosion, Siena and Thaad, who flew through space movement, broke through the crowd of students.
"huh? That… … ?"
As Thaad blinked, the lower class children shouted.
"Shirone-senpai and Frings-senpai are fighting! Mr. Thaad, please dry it quickly!"
Thaad's brow wrinkled.
'Isn't that like a kid's fight?'
It was not just a matter of power, but deadly anomalies and tactics that could only be seen on a real battlefield were intersecting in real time.
If they weren't going to go into the close together and fight, they couldn't intervene right away, so Ethella and Siena were just waiting for an opportunity.
'Gwangik!'
The spear of ice pierced the trajectory of Shirone, who spread her wings of light and flew low.
The homing photon cannon, which was completed in time division, approached powerfully, but Frings guided the movement with an ultra-precise movement and made an accidental shot.
'The difference in precision is clear. I'm a little angry.'
When Shirone, who was moved, fired the photon cannon directly, an ice wall with a thickness of 1 meter stood up in front of Frings.
The photon cannon pierced the ice wall with a roar, but Frings' expression was still indifferent.
'The power has already fallen.'
The highly reflective ice clumped into his fist, and when he swung his arm, the photon cannon bounced off.
"It's really awesome… … ."
An exclamation was heard among the students of Class Four.
As they were about to enter their senior year, they knew how precise and sensuous the current battle was.
"Shirone-senpai… … ."
In particular, the shock Mark received was beyond imagination.
'I thought I desperately caught up.'
I was confident that there would be no one who trained more intensely than I did, even if I did not compare myself with anyone.
'I'm not the only one running. Everyone is running.'
What more do you have to give here to run faster than others in such a race?
"Maria, let's double the amount of training starting today."
"… … okay."
In the fierce battle, Frings measured the timing while preparing the technique of conversion.
"Shall we finish it soon?"
As I put my hands together on my right side, the icy haze began to compress at a bizarre rate.
At the same time, Shirone also floated a photon cannon in front of her eyes, preparing to hit the counter.
"Invitation… … !"
Just as Frings was about to cast his magic, a violent whirlpool rose from under his feet and froze.
Siena's magic ice tornado.
Sharp ice thorns criss-crossed Frings' body, but there was no wound anywhere.
Meanwhile, Ethella, who had approached Shirone from behind, was also choking him with her arms tucked under his armpits.
"Kuk!"
Feeling the pressure of a steel whip, Shirone canceled the photon cannon only then.
However, her gaze was still fixed on Frings, and her breath was rough with excitement.
"Frings, what are you doing?"
As Siena approached, Frings couldn't move, only turning his eyes to look at him.
"Sorry. Because of a minor disagreement."
Siena, who had already been asked about scramble royale at the teachers' meeting, didn't even snort.
"Quit now, if you want to continue going to school."
'You're in good shape.'
Frings didn't even listen by ear.
"I cannot leave school. However, in this case, the negligence of both sides is probably not suitable."
Siena's face turned red.
'Anyway, these are… … .'
The shadowy research presidents who terribly do not listen to the teachers, as if they had enemies in their previous lives.
Even when I was sent to the senior class, I expected to mature a little, but I had been struggling without graduating for several years.
"Shirone, stop."
Ethella exhorted me, loosening the grip on her neck.
"but… … ."
It was Frings who led the fight.
"Your juniors could have been hurt."
Only then did Shirone look around and see the students she had taken classes with until last year were staring at her with fearful faces.
"… … sorry."
Fisho would have collected scrambles anyway, and since the teachers came forward, further battles were meaningless.
Siena, who disarmed the Ice Tornado, said.
"Go back to your senior year now. If you cause an incident like this one more time, then there will be no forgiveness."
"I will do as you command."
After bowing like a gentleman, Frings headed for the forest, but in a direction that had nothing to do with the senior class.
"Ah, I'm annoyed. stress."
Siena, who pressed her hand to her temple, called out to Shirone, who was standing there depressed.
"Shirone, you can see me for a second."
"yes? Now?"
It was a time when Scrumble Royale was in full swing.
"I'm sorry, but now… … ."
Siena's eyes tightened.
"right now. Even in the senior year, this is definitely a school. Or are you saying that advanced class teachers look ridiculous now?"
"no! Never thought like that… … !"
"Okay, follow me."
When Siena took Shirone down the mountain, Ethella calmed the atmosphere with a smile.
"Come on, everyone! Now you know exactly why you have to work so hard to sharpen your four ways, right? The key to transformation is… … ."
While the students looked blank, Thaad licked his lips and shook his head.
'Teacher Ethella, that's not it.'
