‘The professor’s fighting method, number one!’

As soon as the 1v2 fight started, Yerina, who shouted as if she wanted to rush towards the other two princesses, suddenly turned around and sprinted with all her might.

‘Never fight in the terrain where the opponent has the advantage.’

When Yerina trailed back to the way she came, the first and the second princess were bewildered, and so they were late for a split second in chasing her. They couldn’t even blame her for her cowardice, after all, it was them who started first.

“You!!!”

However, before the two princesses could run for long, the ground suddenly exploded, and they had no choice but to stop sprinting.

“Keuk!”

“Keuk!”

The intensity of the explosion itself was weak. However, in the aftermath of the explosion, the fog suddenly descended into the jungle, obscuring their view.

‘Maybe…!’

At that moment, the two princesses realized. Perhaps, from the moment Yerina knew that the two princesses held hands and were trying to strike her first, she was already preparing for this magic.

“Stop calling such useless mist!” As the two princesses smashed the floor with their fists, an enormous tornado swept away the mist. But unfortunately for them, Yerina’s magic didn’t end there.

“What’s happening!” The sky suddenly grew dark. The reason was because Yerina used the spell ‘Noctis’ which darkens the surrounding in succession.

‘Then, Miss Aracelli, are you saying that I should take advantage of the terrain?’

‘Yes. But you can’t always fight with advantage on your side, can you? In that case, you have to get rid of your enemy’s advantage as much as possible.’

Seeing the two princesses bewildered, Yerina let her voice flow through her mana while trying to be as calm and composed as possible.

-My sisters. Can you blow darkness away with your muscles? Or did you train your eyesight with an iron barbell?

The field of vision of the two princesses gradually narrowed. They both tried to focus their mana on their sight, but in the first place, the warriors of this world focused on training their muscles rather than magic, so it was simply impossible for them to escape the magic cast by a 5 circle magician with their miniscule amount of mana.

However, that didn’t mean that Yerina had an overwhelming advantage. The radius of the Noctis magic she casted was at most only 50m. It’s unavoidable since she casted in a hurry. Which means, once they get out of the jungle, the magic would be undone.

‘I have to make sure my sisters notice it as late as possible.’ Yerina swallowed her saliva. A 5 circle magician could store 3 spells beforehand and cast them at will. But the power of that magic would be halved by 30% and at the same time, she would only be able to cast a spell one circle lower than her current level. In case of emergency, she could cast a spell immediately, but its power will not be able to defeat the strength of the princesses.

As Yerina moved slowly, she gathered her hands in a diamond shape and tried to cast a spell. But then, the first princess suddenly lifted her head and looked at her.

“Found you!”

“!!!”

The first princess took a jagged rock from the ground and threw it with all her might. It broke all the trees on its path and rushed towards Yerina. She hurriedly lowered her body to the floor, but at some point the second princess approached her with her fist tightly clenched.

‘Indeed, eldest sister’s senses were much better than second sister’s.’

Second princess specialty was strength, while the first princess specialty was skill and sense. Recognizing that, Yerina cast the flame curtain spell she had prepared beforehand in her front. Thanks to that, the second princess’ advance was halted as she was forced to guard her body with both arms. However, the magic Yerina just casted was not for attacking purpose; it was to gain momentum.

Yerina rode the blast and slid 10 meters back, before placing her hands on the ground. Moments later, seven-pronged chains of light rose from the ground beneath her and slithered towards the second princess and tried to bind her. But, before the chains could coiled around her, the first princess smashed all from her before grabbing the last one with both hands and tried to pull it.

“Let’s see how long you can continue with your tricks!”

However Yerina only smirked. Even when she put her hand on the ground, it didn’t mean that the chain was connected to her. She snorted and raised her palms slightly.

“!!!” The moment the first princess realized that what she had done was in vain, a shadow cast upon his body. When she looked up, a huge awl was falling from the sky!

Because of her muscles, she was the furthest from being agile, so the falling awl was an unavoidable attack for her! Thankfully, she had the second princess on her side. She hurriedly got up, raised her arms and clamped it when it was right in front of her.

Boom-!!

A spider web-like crack started to spread on the awl. However, unlike the awl, only a small wound could be seen on the second princess’ skin. Judging by the fact that she just repelled a giant awl, it could be said that she was unharmed.

‘… her agility is amazing, after all.’ Yerina murmured before disappearing again.

‘The professor’s fighting method, number two! If you find yourself at a disadvantage because you have a lot of enemies, fight as cowardly and dirtily as possible.’

‘I-is that so?’

‘Yes. Do you know that it’s annoying to fight an archer or a thief who hides among the bushes while shooting poison arrows?’ While telling Yerina that, Aracelli caressed her own chin with her hand, pondered for a moment, and then put her thumb up. ‘But when it is done by a wizard, it’s cool!’

‘Wait a minute… does that matter?’

‘It’s very important!’ Aracelli smiled brightly as if she was just talking about some profound saying or something.

‘After all, in the battle for the throne, showmanship is important!’

Crack-!!

At that moment, the ground split open and thorns protruded from the gap. Meanwhile, a small streak of lightning struck from the sky.

Since the two princesses had no knowledge of magic, they could not let go of their tension. However, for someone who knows magic, only one magic could be activated at time by default.

The spells which Yerina was currently using were Terra Terror, a magic that turned the ground upside down and lasts for 5 seconds and Thunder Pericutin, a lightning strike spell that triggers immediately and lasts quite a while. She only activated both of them at completely different timing to make it seem as if two disasters were triggered in succession! In the meantime, Yerina also prepared a ‘spell that only activates when the other person steps on it.’

‘The professor fighting method, number three! To win, you have to do anything you can.’

‘Isn’t that obvious?’

‘No. You have yet to understand the meaning.’

Even after fighting against Aracelli for countless times, she still said that she had yet to understand the meaning ‘to do anything’ to really win.

But now she realized. The fight she had right now couldn’t be considered a real fight. It was just her harassing her two sisters. Because she was only using improvised magic, she couldn’t even land a proper blow to her sisters. She just blinded their sight, gave them hot, cold, stinging, painful, sensation before running away again to avoid being struck back.

“Found you!” When Yerina was caught up in her own thoughts, goosebumps grew all over her body. She hurriedly raised her head, and saw the second princess’s viciously contorted face right in front of her.

“You know what? Among the training methods of hero Ivan, there is a method to strengthen the eyesight!”

When the second princess slammed her fist to Yerina’s stomach, the sound of balloon popping echoed. Then, her body bent like a bow and flung to the distance.

“But he said I didn’t have to train it, so I just kept the knowledge in my head… But now I can finally use it and see through your magic!”

“Keuk…” Yerina staggered and stood up. Her stomach was burning like fire, and her heart was beating really hard as if it was about to explode. When she looked at the second princess, the distance between them was not even 5 m. It was a fatal distance for a wizard who was fighting a warrior. The second princess was also aware of the fact and tried to maintain the distance.

‘Yeah, I never thought that they would keep being a sitting duck anyway.’

When Yerina glanced at her back, she could see the first princess standing there, blocking her path for running away again. She even stood outside the range of Noctis magic that darkens the surroundings. However, unbeknownst to her, the moment she escaped the influence of Noctis’ spell, the spell which Yerina put down beforehand in the reeds field would be triggered.

Wheeeeing…!!

The wind suddenly blew and the reeds swayed. In the next instance, the reed, which seemed to be dancing, was broken in half. Looking at the sight, the first princess bowed her head to avoid it since she knew that she could not withstand the magic of her little sister.

Meanwhile, Yerina thought. She was currently really at a disadvantage. Being flanked by two warriors as a wizard was synonymous to being defeated. Then, she recalled one of the conversations she had with Aracelli.

‘What if, really what if… the warriors are stupid and set foot on a field where our spell is prepared?’

At her question, Aracelli just shrugged. ‘A perfectly prepared wizard can never be beaten. Well, as long as the enemy is not a dragon, that’s it.’

Rumble-!! Rumble-!!

The ground began to tremble. However, Yerina did not make any gestures whatsoever. After all, her enemies were people who knew that a certain action was necessary for a wizard to cast their spell.

And as she expected, the two princesses soon moved.

‘I’ll twist your neck!’

‘I’ll make you unable to use magic ever again!’

The two princesses leaped towards Yerina.

However, when the third princess snapped her fingers, two pillars rose from the floor and pierced the stomachs of the rushing princesses.

“Keuk!”

“Ghaaak!”

In the deltoid and brachialis muscles of the princesses, the veins of them wiggle like snakes. It was a nonsensical superpower which could block pillars that were rushing faster than trains due to magic!

But the magic didn’t end there. A huge blue line was slowly sparkling in the sky, and before long, the line changed into the shape of a circle.

Swwooshh-!!

Then, heavy rain poured out of nowhere.

Yerina laughed as she stroked her wet hair. To manipulate the weather in such a small area, an enormous amount of time as well as a lot of preparation were required. And now, the result of those preparations is unfolding in front of her.

Boom-!! Boom-!! Boom-!! Boom-!!

The two princesses, who had finally smashed the pillars which obstructed their moves, let out a ragged breath and felt the temperature drop little by little. At the same time, they saw a pure white frost cladding Yerina’s hands. On top of it, the ground beneath her was slowly freezing.

“Four years! Have you been wasting your time learning something like this?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

The third princess slowly spread her arms out, with the palms of her hands pointing towards the sky. The tiny whirlpool of frost whirling on her palm was clearly proving that her main specialty was ‘Ice Magic’.

When the white frost reached the sky, all the raindrops changed into icicles. The small icicles then join up with each other until they become huge icicles and slowly surround the two princesses.

Standing in the middle of it, Yerina raised her hands high into the sky.

Snap-!!

Thud-!! Thud-!! Thud-!!

Giant icicles with fluorescent runes engraved on it fell one by one towards the two princesses. They did their best to avoid, but their action was hampered by the ground which started to freeze even more because of the falling icicles, making it difficult for them to even properly maneuver.

“Ahhhh!!”

“Aww!”

Both the princesses shattered the ice while wriggling their thick muscles, pierced through the icicles, or punched hard at the ice growing from the ground. But it was not enough.

How does one fight against the cold, which naturally begins to grow after receiving the moisture of nature? It was as if a huge flower of ice had bloomed. Yerina trembled as she walked through the ice flowers.

‘Ha…!’ An exhilarating feeling which seemed to make her lose her mind pierced her whole body. At that moment, she felt that her past self, which did not fully understand the words of fighting in a prepared wizard’s space, was foolish.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

“Shut up!”

As she watched the two princesses struggle like worms, surrounded by her ice, she woke up to an ecstatic sensation.

‘Ah, this is really… I think I’m addicted!
