How to Survive at the Academy

Velbrok Subjugation (6)

I ran down the corridor on the third floor of the Trix building, shaking off my bloody arms.

A draft was blowing in from the already broken windows, and stars and magic circles could be seen from the ceiling of the half-blown hallway.

There is no time to worry about the battle between Velbroque and Lucy. First, I had to dig into a place with as many features and obstacles as possible, making it difficult for Sylvania to pinpoint my location.

– Whoo Woo-wook

However, there is no way a person about Sylvania could not read my intentions.

As the feeling of gathering magical powers spread from downstairs, I clenched my teeth and prepared for the shock.

– aa

High-level lightning magic, Nemesis.

A lightning bolt struck in an instant, destroying the remaining remains of the Trix Pavilion.

Now, the Trix tube, with almost no intact parts left, collapses once more.

Rather than a broken building, at this point, only the remains of the building remain.

Running among the rubble of an intermittently erected outer wall, I tried to escape the magic somehow…

– Whoa!

High-level space magic ‘space leap’.

Sylvania landed right in front of me, casually using high-level space magic that consumes an astronomical amount of magical power with just one use.

“Khahak, ahhahak.”

With a strange laughter that seemed like boiling phlegm, Sylvania held her wand in front of my nose.

“I don’t know if I could have blocked it once, but the second time looks hard when I look at it.”

If ‘instant death’ hits here even once, I can’t stop it with my Holy Spirit’s magic. Knowing this well, I quickly bent over and kicked Sylvania’s staff away.

However, Sylvania did not care, gathering magic power and thrusting two magic bullets into my shoulder.

As I clenched my teeth and clasped my shoulders and fell into the corner of the hallway, I began to raise the Aspect’s magic again.

Normal magic power can be dealt with. However, Aspect Magic cannot cope.

The greatest characteristic of Aspect Magic. That you can’t deal with it at all, and you can’t deal with it at all.

These are magics that cannot be defended at all, unless it is an exceptional situation where they are defended through the same type of magic.

“Whew…”

If you stand still, you will suffer.

We have to keep attacking whatever we do to prevent Sylvania from casting the Aspect Magic.

I drew out my magic and summoned Mug in an instant.

The rising fire changes into the shape of a bat and spreads its huge wings. Mug, who squeaked and screamed, looked at Sylvania and drew the magic of fire.

Unlike the basic elemental magic, a different amount of fire rises around it. The flame march is headed in the direction of Sylvania, which is gathering the constellation magic.

Sylvania narrows her eyebrows for a moment, then lets out a creepy smile.

Then, just by swinging his wand and using magic power, he scattered all the flames.

The place where the subsequent Holy Spirit magic was headed was towards the mug.

– Kaang!

Aspect magic struck in an instant, ‘Time Prison’.

Mug, floating still with its wings spread out in the air… couldn’t move any more.

When you are in a time prison, the caster’s time itself stops until the caster’s magic power runs out or is terminated. It has to stand still as if it had become a stone.

Of course, Sylvania’s magic won’t run out, so it’s safe to say that if you get hit even once, it’s over.

However, once Sylvania was able to neutralize the Aspect Magical Power once collected.

I’m sorry that I used the mug as a shield, but I was able to get more time to draw out more magical power. Eventually, with the manifested magical powers, a giant wind wolf… Merylda sets her feet again and goes out into the world.

– Whoa, whoa!

– aa

The flow of magic power that spreads out covers the sky of the Trix tube.

After trampling on the ruins of the buildings with the roaring fire, Merylda stood straight and looked down at the small-sized sorceress.

[ Sylvania… ]

Once, a friend who was sitting side by side at the edge of the right mountain and looking down at Aken Island… looked up at the huge wolf of the wind.

Sylvania, who was looking up at Merylda blankly, murmured, with a wand larger than her upper body, at an angle, and a robe embroidered with colorful patterns.

“Oh my goodness….”

There is no life in those eyes.

“Wolf, it’s big.”

There is no room for heartache for not knowing.

Before Sylvania moved first, Merylda raised her magic power. The air around the area was fluctuating due to the magical energy embodied by Merylda.

The moment Merylda’s magic was about to attack Sylvania… ──Merylda’s body was already pierced with a huge ice spear.

[ … ]

Merylda’s squinted eyes widened. He didn’t even notice the flow of magic.

Ice spear is a lieutenant’s magic.

However, a gigantic ice spear rose from the ground and pierced Merylda’s abdomen, to the point that it was hard to even call this a lieutenant’s magic.

Because of the dripping blood, the surface of the spear is dyed red.

[You…uh…]

“I’m sorry, the spirit… can’t even die. If I were a human, I would have died comfortably from this blow.”

The status of the high spirits is enormous. It is safe to say that just being able to deal with high-ranking spirits can put you in the ranks of famous spirits in that area.

Even such high-ranking spirits can be wiped out by Sylvania with a single blow.

However, the fact that the mana was consumed does not change. In other words, it means that a gap has been created for me to act.

– Kwaang!

I smashed the floor with a ‘one-point explosion’ and hurriedly jumped to the ground.

Sylvania looked tired, looked at the hole I had drilled, and jumped off with a light gesture.

The moment Sylvania went underground, hiding in the blind spot of my sight, I pulled out my dagger and tried to stab her in the back.

It was a surprise attack that was completely out of sight, but she used defensive magic to deflect the dagger as if she had eyes behind her back.

– Kaang!

When my hand was deflected by the shock of the defensive magic, Sylvania, who took advantage of the gap and swung back, grabbed my collar.

The rising magic wrapped around my body, and when it pushed me with great power, I was drawn to the floor by the aftermath.

Sylvania stabbed me in the stomach with her knee, clenched her throat, and pushed her bloodshot eyes up to the front of her nose. Still, more blood flowed from the wounded body.

“Did you think you were going to win a close fight? Is it because I am a wizard? Ahaha, that’s great. It’s great, it’s great. Even in this situation, you were rolling your head to steer the battle in a different direction. I was scared, afraid of death, in a situation where it wouldn’t be strange to run away all the time… I was thinking of a way to win. It’s amazing, it’s amazing. It’s a shame to kill If it wasn’t for this world, if it wasn’t for such a dark future… you would have been a great person.”

“…”

“Uhhh… sad… so sad… it’s sad that someone like you has to die. There must be many amazing and wonderful people like you in the world. It is so futile and sad to know that everyone has to die, that one day we will have to struggle in that endless darkness…”

I smiled and then burst into tears… Like a maniac, Sylvania talks with my eyes closed in the changing emotions.

The tears I had just shed have not dried up. Raising the corners of your lips.

“So, I will kill you.”

“Specify.”

– Kwaang!!

A huge shock that emerged from my arms covered the whole area.

‘Shock reinforcement wave ball’. It’s one of the magic tools I’ve been saving to the end. Sylvania covered her eyes with her flapping collar and furrowed her brows in shock when the crystal ball in her arms broke.

Naga won’t fall because of the defensive magic applied to the body. However, he succeeded in obscuring his view.

As it was, I collected the dust scattered on the floor with my fist, and scattered it in Sylvania’s eyes.

Sylvania, who closed her eyes in a momentary scream, took a few steps backwards. Sylvania, who had lived her whole life as a dignified wizard, was certain that she would not be accustomed to such street battles.

As it was, I pulled out my dagger and gathered my magic power. I tried to express the spirit expression as it is, but the spirit expression engraved on the dagger did not respond.

“Whew..”

I frowned and just took the dagger and put it in.

Mug was subjected to time prison, so even the spirit ceremony connected to the mug did not work properly. In a hurry, I had to dig into this very small gap.

However, while Sylvania lost her sight, she felt the flow of movement as magical power and quickly bent to avoid it. At this point, I wondered if it would be okay to get a blow, but he was a human with a surprisingly developed intuition.

However, because she twisted her body to avoid it… Sylvania stumbled backwards due to her inertia and bumped her back against the broken column.

– Bang!

Leaning her back on the pillar as she was… Sylvania, who took a deep breath, opened her eyes with even more red veins and looked at me.

“It’s a ceremonial dagger for the Roth Taylor family. Then you…”

Sylvania, who looked at me with her eyes wide open, trembled at the tip of her lips and continued the story.

“Ed Roth Taylor. Yes, you are Ed Roth Taylor.”

“…well, you know. Because you are a person who has observed the future spreading in many directions.”

“Yeah… Yeah… I remember… I’m trying to remember… Surely in my memory… Ed Roth-Taylor… Ed Roth-Taylor… he didn’t feel like this…”

Sylvania, who had been speaking in a muffled tone with a bizarre twisted voice, shed another creepy smile as if she had realized something.

“Ah, ha ha… ha ha ha…”

Blood drips from his lips, which he chewed once more. The blood slowly dripping down from the tip of her lips represents her horribly broken mental state.

“Okay… Now I know a little bit… You… are a by-product of the mistakes I made back in those days.”

“What?”

“A time when I thought I could resist this useless world. I was convinced that somehow there would be a way out of glorifying life, the stupid me of the old days… who struggled with the heart of catching a straw… I was dragged into… an innocent victim…”

Sylvania slowly lifted her back from the pillar and raised her head.

The amount of magical power that became even thicker increased if it had increased more than before, but it did not decrease.

“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… You suffered a lot because of me… The time I was dragged out without knowing anything, hitting and hitting, fighting, struggling to live a worthless life… It was so painful… I’m sorry …it’s my fault…it’s all my fault…”

Sylvania weeps and tears again. I just can’t keep up with the flow of emotions.

“So, I will take responsibility and kill you. rest in peace You don’t have to suffer any more in order to live a worthless life.”

At that moment, the expansive magic filled the lobby of the Trix Hall, where only the shape remained. In the aftermath of that alone, the pillar that had barely endured collapsed.

– Coogong! thud!

I sprinted away from the falling building rubble. And just as he was about to take a battle stance, two ice spears flew and landed on his left shoulder.

Heck, before he could even let out a sound, another magic bullet was pierced in his left lower back. I rolled a few big rolls as it was, and got stuck on the outer wall of the rubble.

As I sat down with my back to the outer wall as it was, the thick dust of dirt subsided.

When I somehow shook my head and regained my sight, Sylvania was spreading her palms toward me in front of her.

A fairly large amount of Aspect Mana had already been accumulated. I feel like I’m collecting the Holy Spirit’s magic at a much faster rate than when I first encountered it.

It must have been that there was a big change in his emotions, and he gathered a huge amount of Aspect magic as tears were dripping down.

I plan to express ‘instant death’ once more. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough Aspect Magic left to resist.

Once manifested, it will surely die. Sylvania is well aware of that fact.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was painful. It was so painful. It was hard. are you okay. I’m really fine now. You’ve been through a lot of trouble Really… it was a lot of hard work…”

I tried to avoid it by drawing some strength, but my body couldn’t move anymore.

In that way, the sprawling Holy Aspect magic power was gathered in Sylvania’s hand in an instant—

As Sylvania clenched her hand tightly, the high-ranking magic ‘Instant Death’ was manifested… and it hit me directly.

*- Wow!

– Whoa!

Ed Roth Taylor, who bled from his body, bowed his head like that… and then died.

Leaning against the wall, watching Ed Rothtailer with his head bowed as if asleep… Sylvania held her breath for a moment.

The fire bats he summoned and the wind wolves pierced by the ice spears are also quietly summoned and released… returning to their corporeal state.

So, another departed into eternal rest.

– Whoa, whoa.

– aa

Velbroque roars as if the world is ending.

And, a mysterious young wizard who somehow blocks the Velbrok.

Sylvania looks at the scene with her head tilted.

Although Ed Roth Taylor has been sorted out somehow, there are still too many ‘variables’ in the world who try to block that Velbrok.

There are too many people to organize, and there is no time to relax. But… right now, my body didn’t move.

In front of him lies the body of Ed Roth-Taylor, who has been turned to blood and collapsed. His eyes are comfortably closed as if he were asleep, but the scars and bloodstains left on his body show how painful he must have been while he was alive.

“Sorry.”

Sylvania said so.

“If there’s only pain left… it’d be better if it ended like this.”

Sylvania closed her eyes and paused for a moment at Ed Roth Taylor. As all the magical power that had been on her body disappeared, tears flowed again from Sylvania’s eyes.

What comes to mind is when I met my first disciple, Glock.

The young disciple had just asked Sylvania’s concerns as it was.

Hundreds of years ago, one question of that foolish disciple is now chewing the cud again. Do I really have to call it a hearing aid? It’s really ironic that the world is.

The question the young boy asked while looking at Sylvania with empty eyes.

“Even if life is just struggling with pain, is there any reason to keep going?”

At that time, Sylvania herself, who didn’t know anything… what did she answer? Now it’s buried beyond my memory, and I can’t remember it well.

Sylvania herself in her memory, which is fading like a black-and-white photograph…

I don’t know why, but I remembered that I answered with a broad smile…

Sylvania quietly opened her eyes with a feeling of being buried in emptiness.

“Live and talk to me, you bastard.”

──At that moment, Ed Roth Taylor, who had become blood-seven, rushed in and thrust the dagger he was holding on Sylvania’s shoulder.

– Get it!

He thought that everything had already ended, so he had disrupted the flow of magic.

However, the moment I opened my eyes, what I could see was… Ed’s face covered in a horrifying amount of blood.

“Heh, heh heh… heh heh…!”

No matter how much magical power he was wearing, Sylvania’s stature was small.

It is not strange that the moment you allow a strike with a sharp dagger, even if it leads to a fatal wound. Fortunately, the dagger embedded in the shoulder did not pierce the vital point. It was because Ed was in a state where his body had reached its limit, so he did not have enough free time to properly aim for the vital point.

– Taang! Clink!

There was the sound of something falling on the floor. It was… an hourglass the size of half a fist.

Sylvania muttered in a bewildered voice.

“Dell… Heim…”

A magical engineering tool that gathers the energy of Ju Park Shin Del Heim and makes it possible to overcome the crisis of death just once.

A long time ago, three students who attended the Sylvania School, which had not yet had a sign of being a school. Teslin McLaugh, Gloct Elderbane, Philona Bloomriver.

Among them, Philona, a disciple who excelled in alchemy, studied with a special spirit… Sylvania knows the record of the magic equipment.

I didn’t pay much attention to the idea of unrealistic research records, but the records left by her student Philona for a long time have been passed down… In the end, the recent technics succeeded in realizing that blueprint. It is said that the method was very difficult and the materials were rare, so it was not meaningful…

“Great.. Heo-eok…”

A student who always had a smile on his face and was building up research journals… Philona Bloom River.

Sylvania still remembers the hourglass-shaped tech gadget drawn on her blueprint.

“You…”

However, it was strange.

—Sylvania is a great sage who has read all the future trends that will be formed in this world.

However, it has never been observed that Philona’s invention, the Del Heim Hourglass, exists as a finished product.

– Paang!

Sylvania, who once quickly released magical power and deflected Ed’s body, frowned when she saw the dagger stuck in her shoulder.

He endured the rising pain, and while clenching his teeth… somehow pulled out the dagger.

“Ahhh!!”

He pulled out the dagger, but blood was still dripping from his shoulder.

Sylvania unleashes the Holy Spirit Magic in her opposite hand, somehow clenching her teeth and returning the wound on her shoulder to its former state.

“Big, ah! haha…”

The wounds have disappeared, but the aftermath of the pain remains. Even if you turn back some time in your body, the memories of that pain are not going to disappear. The sensation remained like a phantom pain, and Sylvania continued to sweat in a cold sweat.

In the meantime, Ed was slowly getting up, bleeding profusely.

Until the very end, hiding his trump card… His calmness that leads to vigilance by doing his best. It is no longer human.

However, the blow he just delivered must have been the trump card that bet everything. If he definitely beat Sylvania, but couldn’t finish it with one blow… In the end, it’s just a pointless struggle.

Still… Ed Roth Taylor forcibly lifts his upper body and gets himself up.

Now, Ed Roth-Taylor was far more zombie-like than Sylvania, but his eyes still burn with the will to survive.

the will to survive. only that one

Even in the battlefield where bullets come and go, and in this academy where magic comes and goes. It was only that thought that made him stand with his feet on the ground until the end.

“I hate people like you the most.”

Edgar speaks in a sputum-soaked voice.

“You think that the future you observed is everything, you know it all? So did I.”

He was the one who knew all the scenarios that existed in ＜ Failed Swordsman of Sylvania >.

However, nothing went as planned.

The history of this world that I thought was going to go the way I thought it would go, without a single exception, every one of them went their own way, betraying their expectations.

This goddamn world is full of all kinds of anomalies and variables, and even though I thought I had figured it all out, it spreads out on my own.

Life doesn’t go according to plan.

So there was a lot to lose.

So there was something to be gained.

Death is always on the way.

In a world where it is natural… in that hell road where bullets fly and dig up people’s flesh… There was a time when I looked up at the cloudy sky with dead eyes.

The nightmare didn’t go away, I was stuck in a corner of the room, and I lived for a long time because I was just breathing.

He did not want to hold anything in his hand because he was afraid of losing it, and he was sure that he would reluctantly survive in this achromatic world.

But.

Aiming for just one diploma, without getting involved with anyone, his determination to live a quiet life was overshadowed.

The camp, which used to be just a temporary residence, has become attached to the camp, and you may feel like you don’t want to leave.

I don’t want to worry about a girl who is a good-natured spirit, so I’m going to have to live with myself.

He’s trying to take responsibility for a merchant who has a lot of wounds, and he’s doing a fraud that doesn’t suit him.

He hugged her shoulder and swore to comfort a magician who was insanely stronger than herself.

I look at the night sky and fall into a sense of nostalgia.

Running around the hunting grounds busily.

I have a strange sense of confidence in my ability to grow.

While watching the growing hut camp, I hum humbly.

As I look back on the footsteps I have walked, I feel a sense of useless pride.

I’m fed up with life that stretches out in unexpected ways, in unexpected ways.

It’s just natural to struggle to survive.

That was the life of Ed Roth Taylor, who lived on this Arkken Island.

“Such cheeky noise…”

Dripping blood, Ed Rothtailer is a marvel that he’s alive and moving.

However, he is still alive. Even if he is pushed to the limit to the point where he has to put all his strength into taking even one step, he is living in the present moment with a clear breath.

“It’s a sound that only bastards who have ever lived can say that.”

I’m not saying it’s irresponsible that everything will work out. The present unhappiness will someday be resolved, and the pain of the past will be replaced by the pain of the past. There is no unrealistic consolation that your life will always end with a happy ending.

However, Ed Roth-Taylor is terribly loathsome of those who pile up a lot of unscratched lottery tickets and say they don’t have money.

no matter what others say.

At least Ed Roth Taylor lived his life that way.

“You… you, what…”

Sylvania, who grunted, raised her magic power again. Although the aftermath of the pain still haunts my mind, I decided that the first thing to do was to end Ed, who was standing with his legs crossed.

Anyway, there’s no way left to resist Ed Roth-Taylor more.

The Del Heim hourglass saved only one life, but the final blow of conversion that risked it all could not save Sylvania’s life.

Now, it’s really just a living corpse waiting to be killed by the last blow.

To deliver the final blow, Sylvania wrapped the magical energy she had raised in her hands. Dozens of ice spears that rose. Even if only one hit was allowed, Ed Roth Taylor would be killed.

In that way, dozens of ice spears flew in to save Ed’s life, but…

– Kaang! Whoa ah ah ah!

– Whoops!

What rose was a huge flame that covered the whole area.

Spirit Ceremony – Fire Flower

A blooming flower of fire fills the lobby of the Trix Hall, melting all the ice spears in an instant.

Ed Roth Taylor knows the true identity of the Spirit Ceremony.

It is a high spirit ceremony that draws out the power of the high fire spirit Takan and engraved it with cosmos embroidery on the cloak of the elemental master Yenica Palerover.

The moment he knew his identity, a girl was landing with a shawl waving in front of Ed’s nose.

The pale pink hair of Yenica Palerover, which was flown through the Lieutenant Wind Spirit, flew once in the flames.

Eventually, by swinging his arms downwards, a number of spirits enveloped the Trix Hall.

A procession of pouring magic bullets. The great sage Sylvania quickly activated his defense magic and blocked them all without difficulty.

Jenica Palerover takes advantage of the opportunity, sprints towards Ed Roth-Taylor, and hugs him as if supporting him.

While holding Ed, who was in a crippled state, with almost no strength in his body, he closed his eyes tightly as if his heart was aching. He clenched his teeth like that for a while, then summoned Lieutenant Wind Spirit Callax.

Sylvania notices as a giant Archeopteryx-shaped wind spirit quickly burns the two of them down. That girl is about to retreat quickly with the wrecked Ed Roth Taylor.

At this point, Yenica Palerover had already noticed. The Great Sage Sylvania is not a one-on-one match to win.

“Where…!”

However, the magic of the giant fire lizard Takan causes a huge explosion once. I don’t think the attack will work anyway. to cover the view.

It may be impossible to beat Sylvania, but a strategic retreat is possible. The elemental force of Yenica Palerover is unmatched in its quantity.

Eventually, when the smoke was removed with magic, the Yenica Palerover on Callax’s back recovered Ed and was running away.

Aerial view of Aken Island. Yenica Palerover, holding Ed’s head tightly in her flapping collar, was glaring at Sylvania from afar.

Sylvania, who felt that gaze clearly… stood still for a moment, holding her wand at an angle.

The many forces of the spirits also disappeared when Yenica completed her retreat.

In the Trix Pavilion, where only rubble remained, there was only silence.

“…”

Sylvania, who was left alone, bowed her head for a moment.

Sylvania has also observed Yenica Palerover several times. However, I feel that Sylvania’s appearance and behavior are slightly different from what Sylvania observed.

Is it an illusion? Or is it the result of some inevitable action?

The spirit, which had been settling little by little after being imprisoned in a prison for a long time, is engulfed in greater pain.

“Uhhh…”

Sylvania, who was holding my shoulder with a bizarre sound, took a deep breath. It seems that the pain of the dagger stabbed by Ed Roth Taylor still lingers on his shoulder.

Still… little by little… little by little… the pain that used to cut the bones subsides.

“Yeah… still… there are a lot of variables to be removed… still… a lot of work to do…”

The aftermath of the madness that came up again was still eroding her mind.
