Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 177
Chapter 177
The apprentice knights were greatly shocked when Lee Han coldly clicked his tongue and suddenly changed.
Indeed, Wodanaz was deceiving them!
“Wardanaz… you… I trusted you! I respected your honor!”
“What kind of respect do guys who have never lived in Einrogard talk about with arrogance and ignoring them?”
At Lee Han’s sullen reply, the students of the White Tiger Tower burst into cheers.
“okay! Wodanaz!”
“Good talk! What kind of respect are you talking about!”
A strange situation where the students of the White Tiger Tower support Lee Han.
However, the apprentice knights who did not know the relationship between the two misunderstood once again.
“Cowardly children…! Wasn’t it because you used Wodanaz, who was not from a knight family, to distract you?”
“???”
“Oh no, we didn’t do that?”
The White Tiger Tower students were taken aback when the arrow suddenly turned.
In the first place, he wasn’t very close to Wardanaz, and he wasn’t the one that Wardanaz said he would do.
He just knew he was cheating!
“Wardanaz! Please explain! When did we do that!”
Lee Han nodded at the words of the White Tiger Tower students.
“okay. Those guys never did that. Would friends from noble families of knights do such a thing? You guys don’t make such ridiculous assumptions.”
Of course, the apprentice knights didn’t believe it.
“Let’s see where to put it!”
“Like cowards!”
“……”
“I tried.”
Lee Han shrugged.
Seeing this, the students of the White Tiger Tower glared at Lee Han.
* * *
Ravda of the Enge family was considered the most skilled among the apprentice knights.
As such, even when the other students and apprentice knights fell off one by one, he remained and faced Lee Han until the end.
Now, the sparring between the two was no simple sparring.
A battle of pride, whether the knights who have entered magic school win or the apprentice knights who are devoted to the path of the sword win!
‘hmm. Come to think of it, I must have been feverish for no reason.’
Lee Han thought to himself.
In fact, Lee Han only needed to get a good test score, but he did not bother provoking his opponent unnecessarily.
Because the other person said that life at the magic school was not very difficult…
Ravda held onto the sword with a nervous face.
Unlike Lee Han, Ravda was very nervous.
As Lee Han had already secured a perfect score in the midterm exam, he had nothing to lose even if he lost.
What kind of dishonor would there be if you were a member of the Wodanaz family and you were good at swordsmanship? If anyone made fun of that, he was a madman.
But Ravda was a different story.
If you lose to your opponent, you have too much to lose.
Not only would it be a defeat for all the apprentice knights gathered here, but you would become the one who lost to the magician with swordsmanship…
“Ravda. calm down. The opponent is from a wizarding family.”
“You heard how he won. Just beware of cheating. you know?”
“of course.”
Ravda rose from her seat.
win!
By all means!
* * *
“Wardanaz. This will never happen in the future, but I will support you this time.”
“Win!”
“thanks. Your flirtatious cheers motivate me.”
Compared to the tight bond between the apprentice knights, Lee Han and the White Tiger Tower students had a fairly dry relationship.
In fact, some of the White Tiger Tower students were still wondering, ‘Do we really want Wodanaz to win?’
“By the way, what kind of swordsman does that guy use?”
Lee Han looked back and asked.
Since Lee Han is not from a knight family, the opponent will fight without knowing much about Lee Han…
That was not Lee Han’s business, and Lee Han intended to fight knowing about the opponent.
“A breather with many variations.”
Giselle answered.
The swordsmanship of the empire all had their own individuality, but the swordsmanship of the Enge family was quite unique among them.
Not only are the changes profound and bizarre, but when you collide swords against each other…
you can feel the suction power as if you were pulling from a swamp.
Unless you were a knight with a lot of experience in combat, you couldn’t help but be embarrassed when dealing with this type of swordsmanship for the first time.
“It is indeed so. Durgyu. What kind of swordsman does that guy use?”
“That bird…”
Giselle was furious.
Why do you ask me again, even though you have already told me?
I told you the best, but I dare to doubt…
“Don’t misunderstand. Moradi. It’s not that I don’t trust you. But since I’ve dealt with Durgyu myself, I just thought it would be different.”
“That’s right. Moradi. Wodanaz probably had no bad intentions.”
The students of the White Tiger Tower also tried to dampen the threatening atmosphere.
Durgyu asked softly.
“Really?”
“no.”
“……”
One of the friends who was trying to stop him turned his head and asked.
“What did you just say?”
“nothing. did nothing! ruler. Han Lee. I will tell you as much as possible about the opponent!”
Durgyu hurriedly changed the topic.
At this rate, he might end up fighting his friends from the White Tiger Tower before fighting Ravda.
* * *
“Start!”
When the signal went down, Lee Han stepped forward.
The advice Durgyu gave was similar to what Moradi gave.
– Instead of the usual repulsive force felt when striking swords, you feel a suction force that pulls you toward the opponent. Han Lee. The balance will break down little by little, but by the time you notice it, it’s likely too late. You have to be vigilant from the start.
‘I can put magic into the sword and use it like that.’
It was only natural that he knew how to put magical power into his sword as he was the most skilled among the apprentice knights and had even defeated Durgyu.
It was probably creating an effect that pulled the opponent’s sword whenever the magic contained in the sword collided.
It sounded simple in words, but Lee Han, who had trained in swordsmanship for a long time, could guess how complex and advanced the skill was.
First of all, it is difficult to create an effect that pulls the opponent’s sword with magic, but while casting it continuously, it breaks the opponent’s balance?
It was necessary to have an eye for maintaining one’s own swordsmanship and at the same time grasping the opponent’s balance.
It would take bone-breaking effort and training to pull off such a thing in a chaotic swordsmanship showdown.
Lee Han slightly raised his evaluation of his opponent. It was something an ordinary idler could never do.
Of course, with this, I couldn’t forgive the absurd remark that magic school is not very difficult…
Boom!
‘What kind of power?!’
Ravda didn’t show it, but was startled by the tingling pain in her hand.
-That bastard has nothing but tricks!
-Don’t worry, Ravda! You can win!
The support from the apprentice knight friends who came out to relieve Ravda’s burden made her feel a little better, but it didn’t really help.
After bumping into each other and correcting their posture by stepping on each other, Ravda could clearly feel the opponent’s skills.
If it’s better than the Durgyu of the Choi family, it’s definitely not weak!
‘It’s the Wardanaz family! It’s a wizard family!!’
Ravda felt unfair and wanted to argue. Why is it that someone from the Wardanaz family is so serious about swordsmanship?
Is it because it is a family of eccentric wizards?
Did swordsmanship help with magic? They say that old swordsmanship has mysteries that swordsmen have yet to decipher?
Boom!
I couldn’t find the lax or deceitful attitude shown earlier in Lee Han.
It felt like a bloody pressure like a huge rock.
“……”
“…Couldn’t it be a trick to belong to the Wardanaz family?”
One of the apprentice knights muttered how surprised he was.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a swordsmanship that someone from a noble family could show.
Excluding the time to eat and sleep, it wouldn’t have been like swinging a sword…
‘Caught the player!’
Lee Han’s eyes lit up.
Fortunately, the opponent was able to catch the player thanks to the delay in understanding Lee Han.
Lee Han knew the opponent well, but the fact that the opponent did not know much about Lee Han was the difference between victory and defeat.
‘Before the opponent uses another technique, press hard and finish.’
It was dangerous to lose a player against a changing swordsmanship.
Lee Han was thinking of taking the player he had once stolen.
Of course, Ravda had no intention of just losing.
‘Somehow!’
The magic power of the whole body circulated and dwelt in the sword, and it became heavy. Ravda barely deflected the attack and unleashed the family swordsmanship with all her might.
‘Pull!’
I could feel the taste. Ravda felt that the swordsmanship was cast properly.
however…?
“???”
Ravda looked at Lee Han with surprised eyes. Lee Han also flinched at that gaze.
‘what?’
Seeing the other person who had been expressionless until earlier looked at me like that made me nervous.
Is it psychological warfare?
‘Anyway, I don’t know when to use the suction blade.’
Lee Han did not waver and attacked again.
It was foolish to be swayed by it because the opponent didn’t use it.
If there is a road that leads to victory, follow that road without wavering!
Kwang Kwang Kwang-
Ravda’s face gradually turned livid. It was only natural that there was no change even after squeezing and consuming mana.
Anyone can see that this is an advantageous situation for Lee Han.
However, Lee Han’s face was not very good either.
‘…It’s a big deal.’
The wooden sword began to crack from the hilt.
Lee Han blamed himself.
‘I still can’t put enough mana into it…!’
Ignorantly injecting magic power into a blow, the wooden sword became like this.
It was self-employed.
Ravda, unaware of Lee Han’s true intentions, gnashed her teeth and prepared for a final counterattack.
It was still a bit difficult for Ravda to use completely, but to cover up the current situation…
“Kuaaaa!”
With a scream, Ravda swung her sword. At the different look from before, Lee Han cast a wary gaze.
‘Something different!’
The swords collided and the strong suction power shook the magic power in Lee Han’s sword.
And nothing happened.
“?”
“Ouch!”
Blood flowed from Ravda’s nose as she held the sword as they collided.
It was because of excessive use of magic power.
‘I can’t let go of the sword…’
Originally, I had to let go of the sword.
However, the swordsmanship performed with insufficient skills paralyzed Ravda’s hands and made her unable to take her hands off the sword.
Worse still, the sword continued to suck Ravda’s mana due to the spread of swordsmanship.
‘If we go on like this…’
Ravda’s eyes darkened.
Kwajik!
At that moment, Ravda’s wooden sword was smashed along with Lee Han’s wooden sword. Ravda drew in a heavy breath and fell backwards.
“Huh… Huh…”
“…”
Lee Han clicked his tongue with a sad expression.
‘I got them all.’
A draw with an opponent who got everything because he couldn’t control his magical power.
I couldn’t help but regret it.
‘no. Let’s be grateful even if it’s a draw.’
Lee Han changed his mind like that.
Lee Han’s sword could have broken first if he hadn’t used his wits and broke the opponent’s sword at the same time.
“Woah… Wordanaz.”
“?”
“thanks.”
“???”
“me… To break your own sword for me.”
“????”
Lee Han did not understand.
What is the other person talking about?
‘I haven’t been able to practice my family’s swordsmanship since a while ago, so isn’t it in a bad state?’
Lee Han wondered if his opponent was injured because he worked too hard while fighting Durgyu.
It was such an absurd statement.
“Ravda! Are you okay?!”
“don’t worry! you fought really well! It ended in a draw because I was unlucky…”
“It’s okay. And this match… I lost.”
“?!?”
Ravda explained what had happened to the shocked apprentices.
After the explanation, the apprentice knights looked at Lee Han with startled eyes.
Clap claps-
I started applause one by one without anyone.
The students of the White Tiger Tower also noticed and applauded.
Professor Ingeldell and Bikelinz applauded.
Lee Han thought to himself.
‘I shouldn’t even have business with the real knights after I graduate.’
