Surprising Even Breathing - Chapter 50



50 – trophies we won

Everything happened in an instant.

I picked up the sand bag that had been rolling on the floor with my telekinesis and threw it at Pak with magical energy.

Park couldn’t stand the magic contained in the sand bag and cuckoo! and exploded.

Even after bursting the gourds, the sandbags did not run out of power and continued to fly until the professors broke the shields that had been laid out to cover the playground in advance.

In the blink of an eye, the confrontation was over, and the barrier protecting the spectators was broken.

In the aftermath of using my power for a while, the thick and powerful magic that flowed from my body spread like a wave around me.

The magic that passed over the playground and passed through the back seats gave them a chilling fear.

Ah, if you attack the owner of this magical power, you will die.

Whether the sensitivity to mana is strong or weak, everyone will know if you face this amount of mana in person.

It is impossible to confront a person at the center of the wave that has just passed by force.

He stopped his thoughts and actions and just cringed, then knelt down towards me.

“… … .”

I looked at the original gourd, which had been blown up so much that I couldn’t recognize its original shape, scattering debris in the air.

Anyone can see that the gourd of the first year academy special class exploded, so victory was ours.

I lowered my head with a satisfied face, and all of them were on their knees.

All of the students who were out on the field holding sandbags to set off the gourd and the academy officials who were watching the class match from the stands all bowed their heads.

Seeing him face down towards me, he must have been frightened of me again.

It seemed okay at first when I came wearing the Infinite Ring, but after using my strength, it ended up like this.

A sight similar to how people usually treat me.

It’s not my fault though.

I just burst the gourd.

He did not react to their fear and looked back at Broa.

“Is this enough? A landslide victory.”

“yes?”

She, who encountered the wave of magical power closest to me, was trembling on the floor faster than anyone else.

He catches his beating heart and looks up at me.

With my finger, I pointed at the remains of the first year academy special class park flying in the air.

Only then did she follow my fingers and follow the gourd fragments and dust particles with her eyes.

Arrogantly, I checked the gourd that was floating 100 meters high and then disappeared.

“Didn’t we say that if our class had an overwhelming victory in the last event, we could turn around by getting a high score? I asked if this was possible.”

I explained in more detail to her who blinked her eyes with a bewildered expression.

Overwhelmed by my strength and the surrounding scenery, Broa gradually comes to her senses.

“Yes, we were the first to beat the gourd in the last event, so we won regardless of when the sophomore academy special class beats the gourd!”

He raised his back from his prone position and responded quickly.

He must have understood why I hit the gourd with great momentum.

I just participated in the half match to win like everyone else, and I just burst the gourd according to the rules of this event.

I had no intention of hurting or intimidating anyone by showing off my power.

“Okay, good.”

He crossed his arms and nodded his head.

The match was briefly stopped due to shock, but I don’t know.

He stood there calmly and remained still.

“?”

“??”

The people who secretly raised their bodies and looked at me.

Now that I’m still with my mouth shut, I look around to figure out the situation.

I was worried that someone might get hurt or die, but no damage was done.

The air that had been frozen as if cold water had been poured on it was released, and everyone looked at the location of Park in the first year academy special class.

Park’s traces are now hard to find.

We won the half-match.

I stood in the area of the first-year academy special class until the awards ceremony.

Looking for the Infinite Ring, there is definitely a difference.

The pressure I put on the people around me has been greatly reduced.

So I didn’t have to move out of my seat for the frightened people on their stomachs.

In the past, they would have shivered under the pressure and suffered a nervous breakdown or lay down with mental and physical weakness, but that was not the case anymore.

Even if I just stand there, they wake up on their own.

As long as you didn’t show your strength and startle yourself like before, you weren’t so afraid that you couldn’t even breathe just by being by my side.

Seeing this difference, I happily stroked the snout of a dragon skull earring and watched people fidget.

The organizers of the event confirmed the damage and woke up the fainted people before resuming the match.

“OMG…”

“Hey, let’s do our best.”

The students in the playground seemed to have lost a lot of energy, but they still eagerly threw sandbags and burst the gourds.

The game of bursting gourds ended in a strange atmosphere where joy and fear coexisted.

The anti-war event successfully completed.

The moderator climbed onto the podium and opened his mouth.

– Everyone, thank you for your hard work! With this, we will end the Imperial Academy class competition! From now on, there will be a final score calculation and awards ceremony!

Seeing me standing still, he stuttered and proceeded with the event to the end.

-Eh, a double electrode occurred in the last event! Thanks to Demesis’ performance, the 1st year academy special class won the gourd game! Add up their final scores and they’re in first place!

wow…

wow…

For the first time in history, the 1st year academy special class won the championship by defeating the 2nd year at the Imperial Academy, but the response from the audience was minimal.

I’m already so surprised by my strength that I’m not particularly shocked by the results of the match against the class.

Even the 2nd year academy special class, which lost the championship trophy, was applauding our class slowly, watching me like other students.

– Chu, congratulations!

wow…

wow…

The first year academy special class gathered together and received the championship trophy.

It was not grandiose since it was a sports festival event held within the Imperial Academy, but the winning trophy was a beautiful design covered in gold leaf.

My classmates who are far apart, drawing a semicircle around me.

The emcee walked over to present the trophy.

Kneeling about 3 meters in front of me, I respectfully raise the trophy with both hands.

I telekinetically pulled the trophy he was offering.

The school building on top of the laurel tree symbolizing the Imperial Academy.

Underneath it, today’s date and class records are written magically.

While appreciating the trophy, he lifted it up with telekinesis and delivered it to Miel, who was hiding behind him.

“Kyaaa?!”

She couldn’t have imagined that I would give her a trophy.

As if he had been attacked, he took the trophy and stepped back.

“Take it, class president. It is a trophy we won.”

I didn’t care about her reaction.

This trophy was not mine.

“I only participated in the last event. You guys have been running all along to win. You deserve to lift the trophy.”

I wasn’t involved from the beginning of the class competition, so if they hadn’t piled up points, I wouldn’t have won.

Isn’t the person who will truly lift the trophy not me, but the class president who led all of us?

“Wow…”

Miel looked at me awkwardly and lifted the trophy onto his shoulder.

Her classmates also gathered by her side to share her joy.

This is the achievement of the anti-class battle achieved through unity, not the unity of our class.

Academy special class next week.

The trophies were well displayed on a display stand at the back of the classroom.

Since it was a newly acquired gold-leaf plaque, it shimmered conspicuously.

“Demesis-sama, I will not disappoint you this time.”

When Professor Trunen entered the classroom, he let out an excited snort when he saw me, and invited me to a new illusion magic.

I made a lot of preparations while I was away from the academy.

Based on his last experience, he stopped talking about dangerous monsters and all.

Instead, I did my best to set the background of the illusion magic.

I came looking for fields worth watching and appreciating while leisurely.

So I walked around the field feeling like I was watching in illusion.

The rest of the students had to put in all their efforts to adapt to the new field and deal with monsters they hadn’t seen before.

“Uh, how are you? This, this illusion magic.”

Trunen came up next to me as I was walking around the field and asked cautiously, running his finger over the tip of his staff.

“It is amazing.”

I answered briefly, looking around the background.

Although the environment of the unfamiliar field was new, there was no excitement like the last time I was expecting a monster.

Are people’s expectations important?

After hearing that there was no monster to deal with, I looked around for a bit as if I was enjoying a landscape painting without people, and my interest cooled.

“Sin, sorry! I-I couldn’t prepare a monster that would satisfy Demesis-sama, so I paid special attention to the background!”

Trunen hurriedly lowered his head and shouted.

I’m expressionless, so I’ll add words soon.

“Everything, next time I will definitely prepare a great monster! It’s impossible for me alone, so I’m taking advice from other professors and wizards and borrowing their strength! If you wait, you will be able to create monsters that are more powerful than 3rd or 3rd grade monsters!”

Very desperate not to disappoint me.

Whether this was because of his pride or because he was afraid of me, it was Trunen who was frantically preparing and increasing the level of difficulty.

“Don’t expect it.”

I said a word to him.

I didn’t express it at length, but it was a cheer for him.

“Kkeuuu, angry, sorry.”

Trunen kneels and pays homage to me.

There was no need to reprimand him for disappointing me twice but always doing his best.

The class ended with a detailed explanation of the monsters we dealt with today and the fields we experienced.

During the midterm exam, I take a written test to see if I properly learned the monsters and fields I learned in class.

The students also studied by recording his words in a notebook, soothing their aching muscles from fighting the illusion.

After class, I came to the Demesis-only lounge.

It is my spacious and comfortable space.

You can relax comfortably here.

Chase sets refreshments on the table without being told.

She also conveniently uses my private break room.

“Demesis-nim, we’ve been researching the lessons we missed while visiting the Magic Tower and going to the Eastern Magic Field.”

Chase handed me a notebook in which the lessons I had missed were neatly organized.

“I received the materials from Professor Trunen and Richellin, and I heard the explanation of the lecture from Assistant Professor Silian.”

When I, who had fallen into class, asked for materials, they readily cooperated.

In addition to the classes mentioned, the rest of the miscellaneous lectures have been organized and recorded.

“Well done, as expected, it’s trustworthy to entrust you with information research.”

Maybe it’s because he’s from the information guild? One source was Chase, who came along really well.

Hearing a compliment from me, he shrugs his shoulders and adjusts his round glasses.

“The midterm exam period wasn’t far off. During midterm exams, there are mainly written exams, so it will take quite a while to study all of them.”

She opened a notebook neatly organized in her own handwriting and burned her passion for learning.

It seemed that he was determined not to fall behind anyone in his written score.

“Since midterm exams are just around the corner, I need to participate in club activities this week. If you pass this time, the next club activity will be in a month.”

“yes?”

But before she can study the notes, she has to go volunteering with me.
