Became a Childhood Friend of an Academy Genius - Chapter 114



114 – Assault(2)

Quaang!

A gigantic roar with the momentum to break the barrier fills the underground space.

It was an instant for the followers of the black robes that were disturbing Aden’s eyes to be covered in dust.

“Bell! Aden! Is everyone okay!?”

When Aden turned his head at the voice he heard from far away, he could see through the dark aisle the silver hair that had been tinged with the light of the light field.

When Rone, who was standing in the same posture as she had cast her magic, came running belatedly and asked her condition, Bell answered instead of Aden, who was dazed for a moment.

“Yes. What about Pareon?”

Feeling uneasy intuitively, Bell, who ran away from the members of the team who were trying to dissuade him, realized that there was no pareon and asked.

Elisha, who stayed by Lone’s side and joined the group, gave her an explanation on her behalf.

“I went to the other side saying I would go check on the other group. I should be safe….”

“Well, he’s a one-stranded guy, so there’s no need to worry. Let’s wipe our butts well.”

Since the opponent was the opponent, it was impossible not to worry, but Bell decided to prioritize the situation on this side, thinking that there would be no big deal.

According to what she felt through conversations from before, Pareon is quite a chivalrous person.

No matter how she looked at it, she must have rushed to see if there was anyone left out without help.

Bell said she just hoped she wouldn’t be killed by overdoing it, she laughed.

“Keugh….”

On the other hand, even after being hit directly by Lorne’s magic, the group staggered to their feet as if proving that followers were followers.

So, believing that it would be impossible for Bell to fight while defending, she relayed her words to the members of the same group as Aden in the back.

“First, you go up to the ground. They’ve probably been attacked from over there, but it’s safe to stay under the protection of the professors and instructors.”

There is no guarantee that the option to run away is unconditionally safe.

However, Bell said this because there is no guarantee that even if he is here, he can protect you, so he would rather just get rid of the intruders.

It may sound cold, but I don’t think three people in that state can be of much help.

However, Pierri, who was supporting her lover, took this as a word of consideration and expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you. Are you that student at the exchange meeting a while ago? I will remember.”

“You don’t need to remember it, just go fast.”

Not wanting to waste time, Bell responded in her characteristic harsh tone, slowly building up her magic power and keeping an eye on the followers who were approaching.

Realizing that they would only get in the way if they stayed here longer, they rushed off like a dart.

Looking at the backs of the members as they slowly disappear, Arden stood up, stepping off the ground using his sword as a staff.

Fortunately, thanks to Bell’s arrival at the right time, there were no major injuries, so it should be able to help with all forces.

“Aden, first of all, don’t overdo it and stay next to Lone and guard it. Because Elisha and I will be in charge of the vanguard.”

“Okay. Bell, don’t overdo it.”

However, compared to Bell and Elisha, who came all the way here without a major battle, it was true that he was behind in power, so Aden decided to quietly follow his advice.

To be honest, I have a desire to help him even a little bit more, but there was a part of me that followed that decision as if I was bewitched by Bell’s concern for her.

“… Okay.”

Bell smiled involuntarily as she nodded her head and worried about his body with a serious look in her eyes.

The reason was that she herself did not know. It just made me laugh.

After he finished his definite answer, he turned around, corrected his posture, and started a snowball fight with the crowd of followers who had gathered as if blocking the passage.

Fortunately, he doesn’t look very good because he was hit by Lone’s magic.

Then there is only one option.

Tak.

“Go, attack!”

His new model, which had risen from the ground, disappeared from sight in an instant.

Her body movements were so fast that even Elisha, who was standing next to her to take charge of the front line, rolled her eyes.

When the leader of the group that attacked Aden’s group urgently issued an order, rather late, lightning and flames shot out from everywhere and attacked the party.

From noble mtl dot com

“… ! Get down!”

At that moment, Lorne’s swift chanting followed, as he expected a counterattack to follow.

That’s Low Dispel, which drastically reduces the power of all offensive magic below 4 stars.

Considering that the enemy’s attack was cast with almost no chanting, Lone guessed that it was not high-ranking magic.

Then, as if to prove that it was correct, the several beams of light that were rushing in with the force to devour everything began to gradually thin out.

Lorne, who did not miss this opportunity, created a thin and large protective film in the air through a high-speed chant.

Passes….

Even if it was a low-level protection magic, it wasn’t enough to pierce it with the attack magic that fell as low dispel’s power dropped.

In the end, fragments of magical power that could not break the barrier and scattered in vain.

Lorne didn’t pay attention to that, and focused on Bell, who was disrupting the opponent’s battle line from his vanguard.

Pooh!

With a grotesque sound piercing flesh, the follower’s body loses strength and collapses on top of Bell’s body.

He put it aside as if he were throwing away a piece of luggage, and this time, he loaded his sword full of mana and cut it straight in front.

Another sword blade forged with magical power moved with the momentum to slash all heads mercilessly, as if to say that weapons do not have eyes.

“Sir, Serges!”

“Go, don’t get too close!”

The head of the two followers, unable to adapt to the sword attack that instantly increased range, was decapitated while wearing robes.

Seeing the heads of his comrades rolling across the floor, a commotion erupted from the group of followers.

When I was caught off guard because I was just a cadet, there was an unexpected variable.

‘It’s sharper than before.’

Meanwhile, Elisha’s eyes widened as she pierced the heart of a follower and watched from a distance.

Just a while ago, when we competed together, his aura blade was such a skill that it would be a shame to even say it was incomplete.

Originally, as if a new sword was made with magical power, even the sharp blade of the sword was barely formed.

The sword’s reach, which can be said to be the greatest advantage of the Aura Blade, was not very long, so it was not much different from just striking each other.

So, even though Elisha is also the heir to the sword castle, I guessed that it would be impossible to successfully manifest an aura blade at this age.

As if laughing at that guess, this man brought a more complete Aura Blade before he knew it.

Although even that is still at the level of a degraded version of Aura Blade, it is certain that it will at least be a scene that will open the mouth of cadets of the same age.

‘As expected.’

While she was thrilled by her best friend, who was getting ahead of her even in this urgent battle.

After confirming that the light from the tip of her sword had faded, Bell frowned and her self-talk reached her ears.

“Damn it. I still have a long way to go to use it properly.”

“…… !”

Those words gave Elisha a sense of awe that was incomparable to that of a moment ago.

That’s right, it’s an aura blade.

Although it is not a finished product, it is a stage that deserves attention from the public just by manifesting at that age.

How amazing it was to be able to pry open that tightly closed iron door and peek at just a crack.

But even though he did it quite successfully at such a young age, he doesn’t see the slightest bit of joy in his eyes.

Rather, it seems that they are dissatisfied.

Just the fact that the Aura Blade he manifested wasn’t perfect yet.

If she had been in the same position, would she have reacted like that?

Elisha, who continued to struggle as a single prosecutor, shook her head heavily and denied it.

I would never have done that.

Perhaps that spirit of improvement that shows no sign of satisfaction is the source of his strength.

Even as she slashed through her terrified followers, Elisha found herself standing opposite her.

* * * *

At the same time, the situation on the ground side where the instructors and professors were seated was also difficult.

All in all, the guards who had been erected as guards around them were camouflaged enemies.

As a result, there were quite a lot of professors and instructors who were attacked unexpectedly, and there was a big problem in terms of power.

Even this side has to fight while protecting the cadets, so there is no taste of death.

No matter how many cadets say they have their own self-protection abilities, how many fights do they have to fight to the death with little practical experience?

This is a real battle, different from sparring or mock battles.

There are always people who find it difficult to go into battle just by assuming that their lives are at stake.

“Reinforcements are far away!? How long since they came and still haven’t come! Please contact me soon!”

A male professor who killed the crowd of followers let out an angry roar, not knowing who it was directed at.

Before I knew it, my magic power had dropped to the limit.

It was also a misfortune caused by trying to heal the cadets and professors who were caught in a surprise attack first.

“Ah, the communication network with the academy is down! After all, I wonder if they hit the ball first….”

“f*ck! At what point… !”

The male professor gnashed his teeth at the unfortunate news he heard shortly after.

Meanwhile, I saw a man floating solidly in the air, looking down at the ground, which was in agony.

He was wearing a wide sword, commonly called a broadsword, on his back, and it looked like a two-handed sword.

Judging from the unusual atmosphere, it is highly likely that he is the leader of a group of followers who raided the ground.

‘If you defeat him first….’

The male professor, who was staring at him, gathered all the magic he had and didn’t have and began to recite the chant.

I don’t like the way he looks at this hell map with an uninteresting look like an observer.

Coincidentally, he wasn’t even looking this way, so he cast a six-star lightning spell, Thunder Spear, with the idea of giving it a shot.

Pajijik!

The thunder spear placed on his hand began to spread lightning in all directions as if responding to the caster’s anger.

The man standing in the air at the sound of his hamstrings tingling just by hearing it belatedly turned to the male professor, but he waved his hand as if it were too late.

Wedge fluid.

The thunder spear that flew with the momentum to rip the air was already standing in front of the man’s eyes when he turned his head.

The moment when the male professor’s eyes filled with joy at the thought that this would work.

“… Uh?”

As if an illusion had occurred in my eyes, the face of the man standing in the distance was approaching right in front of the male professor before I knew it.

A suspicious voice came out of his mouth when he noticed this, but it was already too late.

Serung.

Did you get selected before you knew it?

The sword that went back to his house on the man’s back made a heavy and sharp sound.

Poohak.

Just like that, fountains of blood spurt in all directions.

The male professor, who was rolling on the floor with cold eyes, and the man, who was looking down at another person sitting next to him, inadvertently turned his back and walked toward the entrance to the basement.

As long as he doesn’t disturb him, he doesn’t bother to touch him.

This was also a leeway that only the overwhelmingly strong could afford.
