Magic Test (7)
The gaze Harang felt was accurate.
Arniel spread transparent artifacts throughout the forest to watch over the students.
This artifact, called the ‘eye of watch’, is normally hidden and cannot be detected by the skills of an 8th grader.
About 30 minutes had passed since the test started. There were especially many artifacts concentrated in Harang. That meant there were many supervisors watching him.
“… … “This might be a bit of a problem.”
Supervisor Dayric, who was monitoring the forest as a whole, had a wrinkled expression.
“Students whose five senses are disturbed are lost. It seems that some students complain of motion sickness… … “It seems difficult to properly draw a ‘circle’, one of the basic elements of a magic circle.”
“You will adapt. It might take some time, though. A wizard from Arniel should be able to do that.”
As he said, as time passed, one by one, the students stood up and started using magic. We analyzed phenomena occurring in the Whirlpool Forest and also dealt with wood golems.
It didn’t seem easy.
On average, with the skills of 8th grade students who reached 2 stars, they could easily defeat wood golems, but in a state where their senses were disturbed, their sense of distance and direction kept getting mixed up.
“You don’t have to worry about getting seriously injured because you’re wearing a protective test suit, but is it really okay to do this?”
“Hmm, it’s slower to adapt than I thought.”
“If this continues, I think there will be more students disqualified than those who pass.”
“It’s a matter of lowering the passing score cutoff point. Even if you can’t escape, you can still earn points just by interpreting magic phenomena or killing wood golems.”
“I honestly don’t know if setting a barrier was the right choice. Just to keep one Caladun boy in check… … .”
“At best? Not only that! “Isn’t that guy already lowering the prestige of the magic world?”
“But isn’t it true that the Spire was saved?”
“Bullshit. Mage Xyrel was there. Even though he was wounded at the time, he would have taken care of it even if Calla Dawn wasn’t there.”
“… … “Do you think so?”
Some wizards looked uncomfortable. Those who saw for themselves how seriously injured the Xyrel mage was at the time thought that the situation would have been even worse if the Kaladan boy had not been there at the time.
“Of course. “I didn’t need Calathon’s help in the first place!”
The supervisors fell silent at the words of Judge Medrick. Since his influence was strongest here, there was no point in protesting.
“… … Looks like the Kaladan boy is struggling as expected. “I’m sitting down in my seat and not getting up.”
Medric nodded with a satisfied expression at a supervisor’s briefing.
“That’s right. “Where are you going to get an Arniel certificate as a knight?”
The Arniel certificate has a special meaning in the magic world. At a normal magic school, you have to take a separate formal wizard exam after earning a school diploma to be certified as a wizard, and you can use magic to your heart’s content anywhere.
However, as soon as you receive the Arniel certificate, you will be recognized as a wizard without having to take a separate formal wizard exam. This means that obtaining the Arniel certificate is a difficult task.
If you show just one Arniel certificate, you will be treated as the best wizard anywhere in the world, so its value is so high that you can’t just give it to a brat from a knightly family! This was a matter of pride in the magic world.
“Are you really planning on just sitting there like that and doing nothing until the exam is over?”
“It’s not that I don’t do it, it’s that I can’t. “It would be difficult for a knight with sensitive senses to control his body within this barrier.”
Medric chuckled.
It’s not like there’s never been a test using a barrier that disrupts the senses in this way. So, I can’t really protest if the test is being taken this way again.
‘Your idea, Aedrin, was very good… … .’
I never thought I’d think of the Sensory Disruption Barrier in the Great Knight War. With this, it would be easy to protect the last pride of the magic world in Arniel.
If, after shaking up the magic world, he had to return home without being able to obtain the Arniel certificate, the look on his face would be truly worth seeing.
“Oh, wait. “What is that?”
“… … ?”
The proctors who had been quietly watching the exam room suddenly stood up from their seats.
“That… … .”
Medric also frowned.
At the test site, a golem other than the wood golem was being assembled.
“Power, Golem… … ?”
Its true identity was a steel doll.
Why on earth did a powered golem, which can be summoned only by preparing metal and steel in advance, appear at the test site, unlike a normal golem that can be entangled in nature using wood and rocks?
“Powered Golem is a 5-star combat power! “I can’t handle it with the students’ level!”
“The golem is heading towards Harang!”
There was an emergency.
“Damn it, where is the pilot!”
“I checked the Wood Golem remote control room, but the Powered Golem is not in control! “It seems like the signal is coming from a much further away place!”
“what?! Powered Golem’s control range won’t be that long… … .”
“It seems that a 7-star or higher wizard is controlling the Powered Golem from a remote location… … .”
“Holy shit!”
Supervisors tried to rush to the scene, but Medric calmly raised his hand to stop them.
“… … “It will be okay if we move out slowly.”
“yes… ?”
The Powered Golem advanced at breakneck speed, tearing through the trees and the ground.
Right towards Harang.
“He wore a combat suit for safety anyway, and didn’t you say that boy was a four-star knight? Although it has no sense, its body is strengthened with auras, so it won’t die if attacked by a powered golem. It might hurt a little, but… … .”
“Chairman!!”
“Why do you keep yelling? Just watch quietly.”
It’s crazy. This guy is really crazy.
I knew that his devotion to Ainglass was tiresome, but did it make sense to put a fourteen-year-old boy on the brink of death in order to restore the honor of the magic world?
Some supervisors even began to suspect that Medric had unleashed a powered golem.
To that extent, something was wrong with Medric… … .
Without an order from Chairman Medric, the supervisor could never go to the scene at his own discretion. If he does that, he could be disciplined for interfering with the exam.
Unfortunately, there was no wizard willing to give up his career to save the boy from Kaladun.
Everyone watched the scene with their fists clenched and their teeth clenched.
Harang was still sitting in his seat and doing nothing, as if he was trying to gather his energy, but the Powered Golem advanced towards him with great strides.
Now, there really is no turning back.
The wizards watched the Powered Golem raise its arms with a stiff expression and thought it was the end.
* * *
Kwaang!!
The Powered Golem, who slapped Harang with his arm, blinked as the thick sand dust cleared and hurriedly looked around.
Harang, who had been sitting quietly until just now, had suddenly disappeared!
-… … !
The golem, which was turning its head left and right, belatedly realized that something was on its shoulder and raised its arm, but before that, Harang kicked the golem’s head.
Teong-!! An impact so powerful that the helmet was slightly dented! However, there seemed to be no major damage. Since the golem had no sense anyway, he wouldn’t feel pain.
“… … “I heard that golems controlled by humans have extremely limited senses except for sight and hearing, and that was true.”
It’s just like I learned in school.
Even though I was riding on his shoulder, I couldn’t find him for a long time, so I told him everything.
“It looks like your tenacity is worth using.”
Harang leisurely stamped his feet in place and disappeared in an instant.
-… … !?
The golem looked to the left and right as if embarrassed, but belatedly, a powerful shock occurred on the back of its head and its body leaned forward.
It was difficult for this heavy body to get up after falling, so it supported the floor with both arms, fired magic cannons from its palms, and quickly got up with the recoil, rotating its upper body 180 degrees and punching out at an incredible speed.
Huh!!! His fist was about to hit Harang with a sound that screamed and tore through the air, but he caught the forearm of the flying fist and tumbled, sending it flying upwards.
-… … !
Yikes! When the golem quickly stretched out his palm in the direction Harang was facing, blue mana formed and the 3-star magic [Energy Bolt] was completed.
Tooshoon! The energy bolt fired with ease shattered the centuries-old tree in an instant, but as soon as Harang landed on the tree, he jumped to the ground to avoid it, then approached in an instant and kicked him in the abdomen.
Teong-!!
A small shock wave exploded and waves of air spread out. The golem took a step back and was so surprised that it was unable to make its next move properly. I had no idea that a simple kick could create such an impact!
‘what?’
Kandelic, who was controlling the golem, was greatly embarrassed. Because he had lived on the battlefield for a long time as a battle mage, he knew exactly how strong a four-star knight was.
Even if he was a 4-star player, it was impossible to move like that.
‘No, that…’ … Did you throw a kick with an auror on your calf?’
Kandelik could not help but be astonished.
A white aurora was blooming from Harang’s right foot!
Anyone would be surprised.
Normally, a warrior could only attach auras to the weapons he had used throughout his life. In the case of many types of swords, there were some sensitive swordsmen who could not carry the aura even if the length was slightly different.
A swordsman cannot place an aura on a spear, and a spearman cannot put an aura on a sword either.
Of course, it was absolutely impossible for a swordsman to do it easily, as putting auras on one’s fists and legs was something that could be achieved through a lot of training.
However, Harang was completely breaking that common sense.
‘Not only did you learn swordsmanship and magic, but you also learned boxing?’
No, it’s not like that.
Although his movements were very quick and acrobatic, it did not seem like he had learned martial arts professionally. That’s because punching and kicking were simple.
‘Still, does that mean he has auras wrapped around his feet…? … .’
Saaa- Khandelik saw with his own eyes the wind blowing.
Although I had no sensation, I knew very well that the barrier in this space was functioning properly.
however. In a space where the senses are distorted, does it really seem like common sense to show that level of movement?
‘Indeed, it is a monstrous talent… … .’
Harang did not stop moving. In order to somehow escape the golem’s sight, he moved between trees that grew so tall that they seemed to pierce the sky, continually disturbing Kandelic’s vision.
Tooung-!! Harang approached and punched her. Of course, it was a fist filled with aura. Since it wasn’t that surprising anymore, Kandelic stretched out the golem’s arm, but the golem recoiled and spun in the air.
‘now!’
Kandelik took advantage of that opportunity and held out his palm. [Energy Bolt], the only magic code engraved on the golem, is activated and shoots towards Harang. It is impossible to avoid while hovering in the air… … .
Whilick! A blue whip stretched out from Harang’s left hand, wrapped around a tree right next to it, and shot towards it.
‘Maneuvering in the air… … ?!’
Kandelic, who had no idea he could use magic in that way, continued to fire energy bolts without stopping, but there was no way Harang, who had already landed on the tree, could be hit by such blind magic.
I could feel defeat.
He also clearly felt that his efforts to infiltrate Arniel for a long time and wait for Kaladan’s orders were going in vain.
My plan is nothing more than motivation for the young master in front of me to grow… … with pleasure.
However, there was not even a trace of regret.
‘Can I really call the person I have worshiped my whole life Calladan?’
Calladun is not someone who is jealous of talented people behind their backs and plots ugly schemes to destroy their opponents.
Overcoming all the adversities in the world solely through one’s own strength, gaining new understanding in any situation and taking one step further… … That’s him.
‘He is the true Caladorn.’
I felt my heart pounding.
I resented the fact that even though I met a master I truly wanted to serve, we had to be hostile towards each other.
Nevertheless, Kandelik swung his fist honestly.
I was worried about how much I could satisfy the master with the simple movement of the golem. It would have been nice if I had practiced my golem control skills a little more and showed more flexible control… … .
Tsk-!!
Harang didn’t seem to have any intention of ending the fight easily, and instead of destroying the heart core, he destroyed it like he was strengthening a golem’s armor.
It was only after his right arm fell off, his left foot was shattered, and his head was crushed that his vision became blurred that he realized that he was no longer able to fight.
When even the internal magic power was consumed and it became impossible to even move, let alone use energy bolts.
He knelt on his free leg, placed his left hand on his chest, and bowed his head.
It was a courtesy that a knight would show towards his true master.
“… … .”
Harang looked at Kandelic’s golem for a moment, then stretched out his hand toward the core.
“There is nothing to be afraid of. Next time, you can come and see me in person. I am… … “Even if you hold out a knife to me, I will embrace you as long as you show sincerity.”
-… … !
Those words reminded Kandelik of ‘maid Soirin’. The story goes that she was fatally poisoned by Harang’s food, but he recognized her determination and will and did not punish her, but accepted her into his own arms… … .
It was sad to see that the golem had no language function and could not respond.
However, the sincerity was conveyed.
Damn it!
The core held in Harang’s hand was slowly crushed, and Kandelik, who had lost connection with the golem, opened his eyes in reality.
“… … “I can’t believe I tried to attack a great man with such great courage.”
He pushed his sweat-soaked hair behind his neck, looked at the sky, and put on his mask.
Anyway, since he operated the Powered Golem illegally in Arniel, he would be a fugitive for the time being.
Since he could not successfully complete his mission and receive no protection from his family, he would have to live alone in the shadows.
but… … .
‘Just being able to meet him was a great luck and opportunity for me.’
Kandelik packed his bag and turned around to go down the hill.
Someday, if there comes a time when Master Harang needs help.
Then I will go out into the world again and reach out to Him.
