The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 48



◈ Episode 48 Student sparring (2)

When I asked why I brought a sword to the magic sparring session I noticed something strange about the shape of the sword.

The end was blunt and the thick blade looked like an object for striking not cutting.

Rather than a sword it was closer to a magic wand transformed into a sword so the danger and lethality of the sword itself were close to zero.

The referee thought for a moment and passed it on thinking it would be okay.

“good. Both into position.”

Following the referee’s instructions Aidan and Jevan stood at opposite ends of the stadium.

The audience who had been shouting also closed their mouths and became quiet.

The second training ground was silent.

In the center Aidan and Jevan stared at each other with intense gaze.

“start!”

As soon as the shout of judgment was heard the two pointed their canes at each other.

At the same time magic power is woven like a thread to manifest a magic trick.

The first start is a check to inflict damage on the opponent first.

The most basic rule for a match between wizards is to first analyze the gap between yourself and the opponent.

It consists of an exchange of first order magic.

Faaah!

The magic that Aidan activated was [Flowing Water] a first-level water attribute release system.

On the contrary the magic that Jeban activated was [Shooting Fire] a first-tier fire attribute release system.

“oh. “It’s fast.”

“Is the speed the same?”

In terms of the speed at which the magic was implemented the magic unfolded at the same time with no one taking precedence.

In other words Aidan who originally thought he would be at a disadvantage implemented the technique faster than expected.

There were also differences in the elements expressed by the two people.

What Aidan shot was water.

On the contrary what Jeban wrote was fire.

There is no need to ask which attribute is superior.

‘also!’

Aidan cried out in joy.

In order to gain an advantage over the opponent in the first clash one had to occupy an advantageous position in attributes.

It was kind of like rock paper scissors but it wasn’t purely luck.

‘I thought he would definitely use fire attribute magic.’

If you dislike this type and have a fiery personality I expected that the first magic you would use would definitely be fire which has the highest fire power.

And it fit just right.

Aidan reads the opponent’s magic in advance through psychological warfare and prepares the corresponding magic.

Some students may have thought it was just a coincidence but teachers begged to differ.

“Ohh. “You’re ahead of the game right from the start.”

Standing next to the president who was speaking happily Hugo shot back not hiding his discomfort.

“The game is not yet decided.”

As Hugo said the situation did not go towards Aidan winning.

water and fire. When the two magic collided in midair.

Contrary to people’s expectations it was the flame that destroyed the other person’s magic.

“oh my god.”

“what. “You beat water with fire?”

“Are you saying the difference in magical power is that much?”

Even if there is a correlation between attributes if the magic power is higher even such correlation is ignored.

Everything was exactly like that.

A flame that instantly evaporates water. It soon flew towards Aidan.

Aidan hurriedly ducked to avoid the flying flames. An incredulous gaze turned towards Jeban.

“haha. Did you see it? This is the difference between you and me. “A lowly commoner.”

Jevan did not stop using his magic power while speaking.

While Aidan was dodging he immediately prepared the next spell.

Aidan also adjusted his posture and immediately activated his magic.

This time the first level magic was activated on each other.

What Jevan fired this time was lightning-attributed. What Aidan shot out was of the fire attribute.

Pow!

The two magics collide and cancel each other out in the air.

However the difference from before was that the location where the magic was offset this time was a little more biased towards Aidan.

Aidan was being pushed.

“haha! “That’s all!”

Jevan used magic again and Aidan did the same.

The magic of the two collided in the air again.

Aidan knew that he was about to lose out in firepower so he poured in more mana and activated the magic.

Pow!

A third collision occurred. And it happened right under Aidan’s nose.

It’s getting harder and harder.

“Ugh!”

Aidan stumbled from the shock of the magic explosion.

“Aidan was pushed!”

“So you’re saying that commoners can’t help it?”

Everyone was excited as they heard them talking among themselves in the audience.

It’s your chance!

Jevan did not miss the opportunity when Aidan collapsed and immediately used the next magic.

I was planning to use this opportunity to gather momentum and put a complete end to it.

A little while ago they used magic at the same time but this time they were much faster.

All kinds of magic that appears again.

Aidan straightened his stance and tried to aim his wand for defense but immediately changed his judgement.

‘no. Even if you try to use magic now it’s too late!’

Everything has already begun to implement the spell.

Even if you try to catch up in a hurry it’s inevitable that you will unleash your magic first.

If you focus on speed and use magic simply there is a high chance that the magic will fail.

Their power is also overwhelmingly superior.

In this situation if I had Ludger’s source code I would have been able to manifest magic first and defeat the opponent.

‘Because that’s impossible right now.’

Since I realized that the magic implementation speed was the same as the previous skirmish it was time to choose a different method.

‘From here on I’ll use what I learned from Professor Ludger.’

For that purpose didn’t you work hard for the past three days?

Instead of putting his wand away Aidan jumped out of his seat and rushed towards Jevan.

“what?!”

“They’re rushing in from there?”

“Have you given up?”

Mystery comes out from everywhere.

Most of the audience thought that Aidan was giving up everything and just throwing his weight around.

Using one’s body is a decision unbecoming of a wizard.

Are you going to rush in and start punching me?

“It’s barbaric. “This is why commoners.”

“Aidan… what on earth are you going to do?”

While everyone either despises or feels sorry for them.

All magic has been completed.

“Hot! “Did you give up because it didn’t work out in the end?”

Jevan smiled cruelly and used the second-tier magic [Burning Thunder].

It is a very powerful magic among second-tier magic that pierces the opponent’s body like lightning with a quick lightning strike.

There is a safety device on your body so you won’t die but considering the overflowing magical power it could make you feel the pain enough to kill you.

Jevan aimed his magic precisely between Aidan’s eyes.

“Take it!”

Aidan was running towards us without any fear.

In the end commoners are commoners.

That must have been Aidan’s limitation.

Jeban thought so and activated [Burning Thunder].

Puzzle!

The yellow electric current forming in the air eventually became an arrow and flew towards Aidan.

Everyone who watched the scene thought the fight was over.

‘It’s over. In the end Jevan won.’

Chris chuckled as he watched the sparring proceed as he expected.

He looked back at Ludger already expecting to see his broken face.

“…what.”

Ludger was just staring at Dalian silently with an innocent expression.

As if this fight isn’t over yet.

Suddenly a feeling of anxiety like an unknown chill ran down Chris’ spine.

“…!”

Chris’ eyes urgently turned towards the stadium.

In his eyes.

Just then as the magic flew Aidan was seen reacting to it.

In a running stance Aidan turned his upper body and head to the side to avoid the magic flying in front of him.

Puzzle!

“Ugh!”

A [fiery thunder] passed by Aidan’s cheek and shoulder. Aidan’s face was slightly contorted in pain but that was it.

Aidan didn’t stop.

Chris was inwardly shocked at the sight.

He had noticed how Aidan had dodged the attack.

‘You didn’t take your eyes off the other person even when you were at a disadvantage?’

Usually when new students engage in magic sparring those who are not yet accustomed to fighting among wizards tend to behave like beginners.

Turning your gaze away from the other person or instead of defending yourself when magic is flying at you you close your eyes tightly and raise your arms.

When you realize that pain is coming your body moves instinctively.

It can’t be helped.

Because it’s human instinct.

There is no way to reduce it other than training for a long time.

However Aidan is a freshman who has just entered school. I was a beginner who didn’t know much about magic.

Aren’t they commoners who don’t have the environment to receive education like others?

‘however.’

Aidan didn’t stop and didn’t look away not scared even when magic flew towards his forehead.

I didn’t just avoid it because I was lucky.

courage. A strong will to overcome pain.

It was an action that was possible because he was confident that he could avoid it.

‘no. But I need some time to get back into position and use my magic!’

Chris’ judgment was correct. Anyway the leadership was still in the hands of everyone.

As if responding to that will Jean also took action.

After realizing that his attack had missed Jevan panicked for a moment and immediately prepared the next spell.

There is no time to use magic on Aidan who is still moving…

“…!”

However when Jevan saw the magic technique created right in front of Aidan he could not help but open his eyes wide.

It was the same for Hugo and Teacher Marie and the president also whistled as if he was interested.

Chris had nothing to say.

He immediately recognized the technique Aidan used.

“Ki Mobile Technique!”

Maneuvering technique.

A practical technique that combat wizards learn to manifest magic while moving their bodies.

Chris turned his head and looked at Ludger.

The man who had not taken his eyes off of sparring a while ago.

Although it was faint he had a gentle smile on his lips.

‘I wonder if he taught me this!’

Since it is a magic that guarantees victory there is no time to teach it so there must have been limits to the methods Ludger could take.

That’s why Chris also handed over the magic power boosting potion to Jevan.

It was okay to be cowardly. Because if you win that’s enough.

But Ludger didn’t do that.

This man taught the commoner the maneuvering technique which is a technique to outsmart the opponent in sparring in a short period of three days.

‘You learned that in 3 days?’

no. no.

This is not what Ludger taught me in three days.

Aidan learned the maneuver in just three days.

‘Are you saying that only commoners are born with such talent?’

Chris didn’t know.

While Jevan and himself were already intoxicated with the victory toast and wasted time lazily Aidan had been working hard and fiercely under Ludger’s teachings.

When you quickly conclude that nothing can change how much effort did they put in behind the scenes to change something?

You never know.

You probably won’t know even if I tell you.

Because the current situation was so absurd.

‘Jeban! You idiot! ‘Stop the magic!’

Chris tried to shout like that but his last remaining sense of reason made him keep his mouth shut.

If you were to shout out instructions to everyone here that would be ruining a fair sparring match and damaging your own image.

I could only hope that everyone would notice and take different actions.

‘Wrong.’

Chris closed his eyes tightly.

Jevan was preparing the next magic as if he had never expected Aidan to use magic while running.

It would have been better if Aidan had been embarrassed when he evaded his magic and had not been able to proceed with the next attack.

However his somewhat innate abilities ended up becoming shackles holding him back.

Respond quickly to abnormal phenomena encountered for the first time.

There was nothing wrong with that judgment but everyone was completely unable to respond to the abnormal phenomenon occurring not once but twice in a row.

“Huh?”

Jevan who belatedly saw the magic spell completed in front of Aidan realized that things were going strangely.

However there was no way to complete the magic that would implement the current technique first.

The magic that Aidan fired was the [Shining Stone] that he had practiced so much.

Although it is a simple magic that is only ranked 1st.

It was very fatal as it was a magic that unfolded during a gap of carelessness and surprise.

Pow!

The shining stone pierces through and destroys all types of magic. It didn’t stop there and it hit everyone hard between the eyes.

“Kaaak!”

It wasn’t fatal but it couldn’t completely stop the pain.

The shock made my eyes dizzy and I fell backwards.

His movements become sluggish and his thoughts freeze as if submerged in ice water.

The brief attack and defense that just took less than 5 seconds.

It played a decisive role in determining the outcome of this fight.

Everyone stood up hesitantly.

but.

Aidan who had now been handed the opportunity did not just sit back and watch.

‘It’s over.’

Looking at that scene Ludger was satisfied.

The flow completely shifted to Aidan.

If this had been a dog fight with fists there would have been a possibility for everyone.

Magic sparring doesn’t go that simple.

This is a fight that thoroughly consumes turns.

From the moment I lost my condition and flow defeat was almost certain.

Aidan pointed his wand at Jevan.

“Now it’s my turn.”

“Oh no!”

But despite everyone’s cries.

Aidan’s magic was activated immediately hitting Jevan’s body countless times.

The moment the total amount of magical power in the armor surrounding everyone’s body reached 0 the victory or defeat of the sparring match was decided.
