The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 310
Chapter 310
Harriet faced Olivia Ranze with a thin smile on the other side. Unlike Harriet’s expression, which was stiff, the other person’s expression was full of composure.
Harriet didn’t like that arrogant attitude.
‘I wonder if I was like that once.’
There was a time when everything in the world seemed insignificant and funnier than himself.
Everything is decided from birth, but I don’t know why they struggle so much.
There was a time when I just laughed at them without thinking about understanding them. Even now, I don’t think I completely abandoned myself at that time, but I realized that I had to fix myself.
Opponent is arrogant.
Of course, as the nickname Eredian’s saint suggests, she is known as an altruistic person, but for some reason, she behaves like a terribly bad person when it comes to things related to Reinhardt.
I’m openly arguing with Ellen.
he deliberately ignores
That expression you make every time.
He smiles softly and hides his true feelings while only trying to stimulate others.
Harriet knows the odds are slim for her. Because I saw that monster fight.
but that mask
The way that disgustingly thick, terribly thick face becomes stern.
I was angry and angry and got a fever or whatever.
I’ll take off that mask once and see.
I’m not going to leave you ignoring me with that expression forever.
– Now, the last game of the quarterfinals, Group C finals! let’s begin!
Olivia Ranze stares at Harriet.
“I hate being soggy. I’ll finish it quickly.”
Olivia’s body is covered with blue mana.
Dense mana surrounds her.
I hate being soggy.
Harriet was dumbfounded by Olivia’s words.
“Isn’t that what a person who clings to Reinhardt who says he doesn’t like it is something to say?”
“Ah, that?”
Olivia doesn’t come running with a smile, but slowly walks towards Harriet.
“Because I like it enough to have to do something I really hate.”
“… … .”
“Can’t you say that?”
Olivia continues to approach Harriet with a dazzling smile.
A person who is honest with his heart.
A person who can be honest.
A person who tries to push through even if someone else is hurt because of his heart.
He accepts that if he gains something, he loses something, so he is a person who tries to have Reinhardt even at the cost of hurting himself and Ellen.
Harriet suddenly thought that she was jealous of Olivia.
However, it was terribly faded before it was able to rise. The opponent is only provoking himself.
The moment Harriet tries to stop thinking about what the other person is saying to keep her cool.
She gently kicks the ground.
-fault!
The sound was light.
-Shhh!
But the running speed was never light.
– Chiing!
At the same time that the protection was activated in front of Harriet’s eyes, Olivia’s fist struck the blue force field.
– Kwakang!
“!”
As the protection collapsed on the first volume, a fist was thrust in front of Harriet’s nose.
– Phat!
In the split second right before allowing the attack, Harriet instantly widened the distance with Blink. Olivia immediately turned around and smiled at Harriet, who was sweating.
“It’s fast.”
As soon as the protection collapsed, I cast Blink.
However, unlike Olivia, Harriet did not have the time to play around with Olivia.
– Flash!
A stroke of lightning struck Olivia’s body.
This is the tactic used in the first game. A tactic that spreads distance with Blink and then pours out a lot of attack magic to remove the protection of magical power enhancement.
Even with this simple method, there are many people who have been helpless in the preliminary round.
If you are afraid of melee, you don’t allow melee.
Electricity-type magic is close to instantaneous once the casting is complete. So it is almost impossible to avoid. Of course, an ordinary person would faint or lose their lifeline the moment they were struck by the electric shock, but the opponent who had magical power enhancement was different.
It is best to make them incapacitated with fireballs with strong destructive power.
It’s clearly worked so far.
However, Olivia rushed at Harriet again even after receiving a thunderbolt as if the electric shock hadn’t happened. He didn’t even flinch in the slightest.
Naturally, Harriet expected this much.
-thud!
As soon as Harriet waved her hand, the ground in the arena rose and formed a stone wall.
The protection is easily pierced.
If so, create a physical wall.
However, the opponent has no strategy.
“This crab.”
I believe in my overwhelming physicality and push in.
“Will you stop me at all?”
-Kukwang!
Olivia Ranze rushed at Harriet, smashing the rising stone wall with her bare body.
‘I’m not trying to stop it.’
It was after Harriet had already cast magic in that short time.
There was no way that walls could stop Olivia.
The power of the opponent is overwhelming.
Then you won’t win by force, but by other means.
The reason why the wall was built was to disappear from the opponent’s sight.
The magic used is Hallucination. It causes hallucinations, making it unaware of its own existence.
Magic is limitless.
It causes confusion in the opponent’s cognitive ability, causing them to run amok alone and be defeated.
Right now, the other person will not be able to recognize their existence. It’s because he broke the wall and ran out, but he disappeared.
but.
Harriet felt it the moment she cast the spell.
‘resistance… … ?’
The magic cast at Olivia bounced off.
why.
Even if it’s not the highest level, it’s an intermediate level or higher mental magic.
It’s not a magic that can be easily resisted.
Harriot could only watch as Olivia’s fists flew towards him.
* * *
The first set was taken by Olivia after a short battle.
Harriet, who was summoned back to the arena after being reverse summoned, was staring blankly at Olivia’s smiling expression.
It wasn’t that higher-level hallucination-type magic was less effective than Illusion, and it didn’t work at all.
“I know roughly what you were trying to do.”
Olivia speaks to Harriet with her hands on both waists as if she would give a special reminder.
“Nearly all mental magic doesn’t work on me. Cute junior.”
The moment he heard that, Harriet’s head froze.
Of course, it was not well known that Olivia Ranze had resistance to the level of immunity to mind-type magic.
No wonder Harriet didn’t know this.
However, as a price for not knowing that, all of Harriet’s conceived plans completely disappeared.
I thought mental magic was the solution as I couldn’t compete physically, but it didn’t work for the opponent at all.
There is no possibility that it is a bluff. Because Harriet clearly sensed that the cast magic had no effect whatsoever.
I expected the level of exorcism, but I didn’t expect it to be at a level that would not work at all.
“Why are you making such a disbelief look? Isn’t that what the world is like? Everyone has something innate. This is a place where only gifted people gather.”
Temple.
The royal class there is a place where such people gather.
“Just as you are a person who doesn’t make sense in your own way, I can’t help but be a person who doesn’t make sense in my own way, right?”
The second set was about to begin.
“If that’s all you prepared, just abstain.”
Olivia still doesn’t lose her smile.
“Before you get into a more miserable situation.”
I realized that even the number of trumps in the unfavorable situation did not work in the first set.
It was hopeless.
magic immunity. I thought the only one with such a talent was Scarlett from Class B, but there is another person with a similar talent.
Now that the only target was destroyed, Harriet’s mind was confused.
-mind! Puff!
And through that confused mind, a certain cry came to my ears.
one side of the crowd.
A familiar voice was heard.
I know without even looking at it.
Because there is only one person in the world who calls himself that.
– Don’t be scared!
The boy was shouting at himself. Winning is not the same as being strong.
I’m just saying don’t be afraid. That in and of itself is no cheer at all.
but.
“Chit.”
Hearing the same cry, Harriet could see Olivia Ranze’s expression slightly distorted.
Reinhardt clearly said that at times like this, you’re rooting for the weaker side.
It was a bit sad because he said it while he was certain of his defeat.
but.
In the end, the world is all about results.
Reinhardt is cheering himself on.
-Don’t be scared, just run into it!
Reinhardt is rooting for Harriet de Saintoine, not Olivia Ranze.
“I guess this means that even if you lose, you feel like you won.”
“… … .”
Seeing Olivia’s hardened expression, Harriet laughed.
The smile disappeared from Olivia’s face. There were no playful provocations or sarcastic remarks.
Harriet’s confused thoughts were calmed down by Reinhardt’s cry, but in the end, Harriet could have a worse outcome.
“This is a little sad.”
Olivia Ranze was angry now.
to Harriet.
to Reinhardt.
“it’s annoying. I want to finish quickly.”
The declaration of the start of the second set had already been announced.
Olivia runs in again.
Harriet did not spread protection this time. On the back of Harriet’s hand, a string of blue magic lines suddenly appeared and began to glow blue.
“Suck!”
-Quad de deuk!
“!”
In an instant, cracks appeared in the arena and the arena itself collapsed.
“Kuk!”
As Olivia Ranze, who lost her balance, stumbled, Harriet spread her hands.
The magic just cast is Shockwave.
With it, the terrain collapsed.
It is by no means a low-level magic.
And there another high-level magic unfolds.
nest.
There is no back. I will take one set by all means and methods.
Harriet stretched out her hands to the sky.
A huge fireball that cannot be compared to a fireball.
“Eat this!”
Flame strikes rushed towards the staggering Olivia Ranze.
-Ku-kwa-kwa-kwang!
A massive explosion of fire engulfed Olivia Ranze.
On the back of Herriot’s hand and forearm, blue magic lines were clearly shining.
* * *
Sudden destruction of the arena and even a fierce flame strike.
The overwhelming sight left the audience speechless.
“It makes no sense.”
Saviolin Tana, who was watching the situation, spoke briefly.
“No matter how genius Heriot de Saintoine is, it’s impossible to cast destructive magic on that scale at that speed.”
“… … Are you saying you wrote a foul?”
“well… … . However, it doesn’t seem to be the usual way for wizards at all. Just looking at that pattern that suddenly appeared on the student’s body… … .”
As Saviolin Tana said, blue letters appeared in Harriet’s hand. but now it’s gone
Massive destructive magic was cast in succession. The time difference was almost non-existent. Ellen, me and Liana too.
Everyone was perplexed by the sight.
“no way… … . Harriet… … .”
I grabbed Ellen’s shoulder and shook her.
“Did he get a tattoo right now?”
“… … ?”
Harriet.
I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s a tattoo!
No, there’s nothing you can’t do!
you can do it! you can do it! It is!
“Is that important to you now?”
“Though!”
Liana’s face made me feel like crying. There were definitely guys here who knew what that was.
“Louis! How did this happen! What did you do to our paktong at the magic research society!”
Louie turned to me from the front seat at my scream-like cry.
It’s like I never thought I’d have a reaction like this.
“Oh no… … . Why are you so disgusted?”
Louie let out a deep sigh as if telling him to calm down.
“It’s an application of scroll magic.”
“… … What do you mean by that?”
Louie says while looking at Harriet standing on one side of the half-destroyed stadium.
“Heriot is writing and writing magic scrolls in real time.”
This… … .
What kind of weird noise are you talking about?
* * *
-What did you do to our paktong at the magic research society!
It was not only Reinhardt who fell into confusion, but also the Archduke and his wife.
So, he couldn’t even pay attention to Reinhardt, who was calling his daughter-in-law a prank.
“My baby… … . What is that?”
“well… … . I’m not sure.”
Even the Archduke of Saint-Ouan, who had mastered magic, could not understand what bizarre things his daughter had done to his body.
It was a sight no one had ever heard of. Of course, the Archduke was not as frightened as Reinhardt was.
He is a wizard before being a nobleman. So I just live according to the mindset of wizards.
“It seems my daughter has already done something that will shock the world.”
Winning or losing this fight doesn’t matter.
The Archduke of Saint-Ouan had a hunch that his daughter had developed a new magic system that had never been seen before.

Casting.
It is the beginning and end of magic.
However, casting is a job that eventually takes time, so no matter how fast it is, you can’t make that time zero. Magic is a great and convenient power, but if you use magic for the purpose of fighting, there is a fatal flaw in casting time.
Magic can destroy everything if time permits.
Soon, the preparation time for casting is running out, so there are times when battle mages, those with such outstanding skills, die in vain.
Casting is a natural process. The thought of getting rid of it is unthinkable in the first place.
Because that’s nothing different from the bullshit that they’re going to give an answer without formula.
However, Harriet knows the case of her senior.
Royal Class 2-A Class 1 Ludina.
Talent is no casting.
Although it is said to be a superpower, Harriet saw with her own eyes that it was possible.
Magic that manifests at the same time as thought.
If such a thing is possible, is there anything that is impossible for oneself?
But you can’t get superpowers.
Harriet made an effort to drastically reduce the casting time, as many battle mages have studied.
Of course, I did not acquire superpowers.
I just found a way elsewhere.
At the magic research meeting, Harriet was confused with everyone.
The answer was found not by Harriet, but by Louis. Louis Ancton, who understands magic but cannot use it.
That’s why the mindset is different from that of ordinary wizards.
‘Scroll magic can be activated immediately.’
‘yes.’
‘A scroll is a piece of paper imbued with magic with a magic circle drawn on it. yes?’
‘huh.’
‘But isn’t mana already imbued in a person’s body?’
‘So what?’
‘Assuming the human body is a scroll, can’t I draw a magic circle on it and activate it?’
‘… … ?’
‘Yes?’
To Louis Ankton’s opinion, everyone responded by saying, “What kind of bizarre thing is this?”
But the words themselves were not so wrong.
Basically, a scroll is established when a magic circle is drawn on a medium containing magical power. It was a very intuitive understanding that magic would activate if the medium
imbued with magic – paper
magic circle –
was drawn into a human body with the formula medium as it was. It was a bizarre claim that even Harriet, who had a deep understanding of magic, couldn’t feel at all.
‘That’s what Dettomorian did. The warriors of the tribe they lived in said that shamans drew warpaint tattoos on their faces to draw out unusual powers.’
‘I know witchcraft is the root of magic, but… … . I don’t know what that war paint is, but it draws power by drawing a magic circle on a person’s body. What are you talking about?’
‘Yeah, I heard it actually works. If that war paint is to use the magic that resides in a person’s body, isn’t it not very different from what I said after all?’
Louis was just saying it. In order to reduce casting time, the human body itself functions as a scroll by using the human body as a scroll.
Because it’s an overly radical story. At Louis’ words, Adelia tilted her head.
‘But assuming that’s the case, assuming that you can activate it by imprinting the fireball magic circle, can that person only use fireball? If you try to use other magic… … .’
‘My whole body will be full of tattoos…’ … .’
Even if you think about it, it’s clear that it won’t be a very good look, so everyone’s expression is shaking.
Even if that is the case, it would be true that if you want to imprint numerous magics on your body, you will of course become full of tattoos.
‘And we can’t even learn scroll magic in the first place.’
Those were Christina’s words. The magic related to the magic scroll is top-secret, so even the temple can’t teach it.
‘No.’
But at that, Harriet shook her head.
‘I just need to engrave ‘language’ instead of the magic circle.’
language.
Everyone was bewildered by the sudden sound.
‘There is a magic system that can derive countless magics just by combining the necessary letter arrangements if the language is imprinted.’
Having said that, everyone had no choice but to know what Harriet was talking about.
Although less ancient than witchcraft, it is a very ancient lineage of magic and the true source of magic.
‘I just need to engrave a rune on it.’
Through rune words, all the magic that exists in the world can be realized.
