The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 380
Chapter 380
Tana had a bewildered expression, but soon she got up and looked at Ellen.
“Under the premise of using magic enhancement, you cannot take the other person’s life with a headbutt. Of course, I was a bit embarrassed, but… … .”
The reason Tana fell for it in the first place was because she didn’t think Ellen would use the headbutt in the first place, and it was also because she knew that the headbutt wouldn’t be very useful in a real fight.
If Tana had been using magical power enhancement properly, Ellen’s headbutting was rather a bad plan among those who fell into the hands of someone more powerful than herself.
Tana, who was taken aback by Ellen’s sudden use of such a slander, stuttered.
how to say
Still, they say he’s a warrior’s younger brother and has great skills. same.
It was like a carelessness that comes from a kind of trust.
“… … If I don’t do this, I feel like I won’t be able to compete with you.”
At that, Tana was silent for a moment.
I thought I would lose 100% if I didn’t do something like this, so this is what I came up with.
In fact, I even ate a room anyway.
‘uh… … .’
‘That’s right… … ?’
The sign of agreement is clear.
“It is good to act out of proportion. Actually, I couldn’t even respond. But don’t rely too much on these numbers. but… … . Just now the number was great. Because what happened to me is true.”
Of course, in the end, she acknowledged Ellen’s wit, as if admiring that he had dealt with her, even if it was an unexpected attack.
It was an adult response itself.
“sorry.”
Ellen bowed her head to Saviolin Tanna, probably thinking it was rude.
I did it because I thought there would be no answer if it wasn’t for the level of surprise.
how to say
It’s kind of strange that he does such cute things.
Of course, if it wasn’t for Tana, her nose would have gone out the moment she hit that headbutt.
“There is nothing to be sorry about. Finding such a move in order to deal with an opponent that cannot be dealt with in a head-to-head match is also a skill.”
“… … yes.”
The words are good, but as a result, they scratch Ellen’s nerves. Of course, Saviolin Tana would not even be aware that he was being ignored.
In the first place, in a class like hers, there was no need to talk to anyone at eye level, but they even sparred.
“let’s try again.”
As if such a surprise move would not work this time, Saviolin Tana aimed her training sword at Ellen.
“yes.”
Ellen also started a confrontation with Saviolin Tana as if she would not use shallow water from now on.
obviously.
It was Ellen’s defeat.
Of course, there are degrees of defeat.
Ellen was never at the level of being played with like the three of us.
* * *
Unlike the first headbutt, Tana didn’t do it twice, and Ellen didn’t try it twice.
Therefore, the result of the five practice matches was a total defeat.
Of course, fierce battles came and went. Tana didn’t fight Ellen with all her strength to measure her ability, but that’s why she couldn’t catch Ellen’s gap easily.
When the five practice sessions were over, Tana looked at us.
“Except for Ellen and Reinhardt, the two of you go back.”
At that, Cliffman and Ludwig were a little puzzled, but Tana’s expression was not joking, so Ludwig and Cliffman left the gymnasium.
I sent them back except for me.
Tana seemed to know what she was trying to do.
“Now get ‘it’ out.”
“… … .”
“I want to see your real skills.”
Saviolin Tana is seeing Ellen Artorius’ skills for the first time today.
Ellen didn’t compete in the tournament and she’s not a formal swordsmanship teacher.
Practice sparring is, after all, practice sparring. Just like Tana can’t go out seriously, Ellen doesn’t fight with this grin.
She seemed to be trying to figure out Ellen’s exact capabilities as the current strongest swordsman in the Empire.
Ellen silently summoned Lament in her right hand.
Ellen has one more relic. But he only told me about it, and he still hasn’t brought it up.
Blue magic formed on the training sword with Tana.
Even if the brittle training sword collided with Rament, it would break or be cut off.
Proof of the Sword Master. Aura Blade.
Ellen stared at the magic flowing through Tana’s sword.
She is an existence that surpasses even the sword master. Saviolin Tana also stares at Ellen with a serious expression as if she is no longer joking.
“Think of killing me.”
It’s very similar to what happened with Cliffman not too long ago, but it’s a very different situation.
You may even think of killing it.
‘Cause you can never kill me
That’s what it meant.
“yes.”
Ellen looks at Saviolin Tana and takes a deep breath.
I won’t worry about anything. Ellen must have known that no matter how sincere she was, she was no match for her.
Ellen, engulfed in magical power, assaults Saviolin Tana while holding a rament.
– Jjaeng!
Just the clash of the Aura Blade and the Lament made a deafening sound reverberate through the gymnasium.
It’s not just the booming sound.
“!”
Just by bumping into the aura blade, both hands holding Ellen’s rament bounced off as if they almost soared into the sky.
chest opened
Tana did not miss that opportunity.
– Jjaeong!
“evil… … !”
Ellen, who had her left fist stuck in her stomach, gasped and collapsed.
“Haha… … . ugh… … !”
Tana stares at Ellen, who is holding on to her chest and gasping for breath, with her magic power lifted off.
“The Aura Blade is not just a sharp sword. If you use magic waves freely, you can return a strong counter-resilience to your opponent just by bumping into them.”
“Huh… … . uh… … .”
“I was going to let you lose the sword, but you’re holding it. I’ll praise you for that.”
It’s only natural that he couldn’t be the opponent, but Ellen ended up like this in one blow.
I was also shocked by the sight.
“Huh… … . uh… … .”
Tana looks down at Ellen with a cold gaze.
“You are strong and you will become stronger.”
“… … .”
“Just as the fundamentals of swordsmanship must change from the moment Magical Enhancement is used, the fundamentals of swordsmanship must change again from the moment you use Aura Blade. So if your opponent is a sword master, you shouldn’t treat him the way you used to.”
“… … .”
“I’ll teach you how to deal with a sword master when you’re not a sword master, how to deal with an archmage. How to deal with monsters, demons, demons, and armies.”
Until now, Ludwig, I, and Cliffman had talked about things that were at eye level. It taught us what to do now.
but.
Ellen suddenly learns how to deal with the sword master.
The reason why Tana suddenly appeared like this must have been because she found a potential in practice sparring with Ellen.
“Arise, Ellen Artorius.”
“… … .”
Ellen was catching her breath with her eyes fixed on the gym floor.
“You are not free to be weak.”
You have to be strong.
If it’s to protect something precious.
As if if you decided to shoulder something, you would have to endure this level of harshness.
Ellen wakes up slowly. Ellen Artorius’ eyes did not die.
The strongest knight in the empire wants to tell you something from the bottom of his heart.
That’s why I could feel the tenacity that I had to learn.
Saviolin Tana looks at Ellen with an expressionless expression.
‘If only it were me rather than these young ones.’
‘That would be nice.’
‘Why did the gods choose you as the enemies of the devil… … .’
‘Why do you guys have to get hurt… … .’
‘Is there still no role for me… … .’
Such emotions could be read from Tana’s expression.
“Goes.”
“… … yes.”
in sorrow
She seemed to foresee some sad fate for the two of us.
* * *
Tana seemed nervous. It’s like thinking that if you don’t get stronger quickly when you have a little extra time, you might be killed in vain the moment you really need it.
In the original story, Tana took on Ludwig and Ellen, the holders of the holy relic, after the Gate Crisis had already broken out. Even then, Tana taught Ludwig roughly, but she had to pay less attention to Ellen. Even at that time, Ellen was already somewhat complete, and Ludwig lacked a lot.
However, at this point, there is a sense of crisis, but there is still room.
That’s why Tana focuses on Ellen, who has greater potential for growth. In addition, the owner of Alsbringer has not been decided yet.
I told Ludwig and Cliffman what to fix at this stage.
But she said she would teach Ellen how to fight.
How to fight sword master archmage demon tribe demon and army.
I’m trying to teach you how to kill something.
“Reinhardt, come here too.”
And I also have the holy relic.
Saviolin Tana, as if I am no exception, speaks with Ellen and I standing in front.
“What is a master class?”
“Someone who can use the Aura Blade.”
“Then what is that aura?”
“I understand that it refers to the ability to enhance magical power beyond the physical body and even weapons.”
“okay.”
As if it was a normal answer and there was nothing wrong with it, she nodded her head.
“Then if your main armament is your fists and feet, you can wrap your feet and fists with magic, so is this a master class?”
If you can enhance your main armament with magical power, it will be a master class.
If so, if close combat is your specialty, is it already a master class the moment you strengthen your magic power? Because he learned how to enhance his main weapon with magical power.
“… … I don’t think so.”
Of course not.
“I guess so. In general, if you can magically enhance an object other than your own body, it is considered a master class, but that is only the result and is slightly different in reality.”
As Saviolin Tana put down her training sword, blue mana formed in Moe. Ellen and Tana are both wearing each other’s magical powers.
Both of them are magically enhancing their bare bodies, but the appearances of Ellen and Tana are slightly different.
Ellen used very explosive magical power enhancement like the first time, but now she can gradually refine her magical power enhancement, but in Tana’s case, it felt extremely controlled.
If Ellen’s body felt a blue light, Tana’s body could only feel a haze.
Reinforcement of refined magical power to the limit.
Rather, because it was a pale light, it felt like the magic power enhancement itself was optimized by minimizing unnecessary consumption.
“A master class refers to a case where the activeness of magical power enhancement has been developed to the limit. come closer Keep strengthening your magic power.”
Following Tana’s instructions, Ellen stood in front of her.
It was a bit embarrassing that Tana showed it after calling it as if she was going to show something great.
With the middle and index fingers of his right hand joined together, he aimed at Ellen’s forehead.
It is a common night.
“???”
Questions flashed across Ellen’s face.
No, it’s a grandmaster’s night.
Are you thinking of killing Ellen?
-earth!
However, although Tana’s ricochet cracked Ellen’s forehead, Ellen didn’t seem to be hurt at all. The head was slightly pushed out.
however.
Isn’t it a little strange that the night is making a noise like that… … .
“It must feel like metal colliding with metal, right?”
“yes.”
Ellen nods.
“This is your magic power enhancement. The formation of a strong protective shield and the strengthening of physical abilities.”
At our level, it’s still not that far.
“ruler. Then try this right.”
Tana prepares for the night once again.
Something different this time.
Ellen looks at Tana’s balm pointed at her forehead.
“… … .”
no.
I think it’s the first time I’ve seen him scared?
Look at the trembling eyes while pretending not to be like that!
Ellen is terrified!
I think it’s strange that a bad night is more scary than being hit with a fist.
That would scare me too!
“… … .”
As Ellen’s shoulders began to tremble slightly, Tana turned her gaze toward me in disapproval.
“I… … . Me?”
I might really die
My complexion turned white too.
OK.
“I’ll just be right.”
Suddenly, Ellen stopped trembling and said so calmly. Rather, he kept his eyes wide open as if he had made up his mind.
no.
hey.
So what am I going to be?
“No sir, I will just get hit and die.”
If you become the right picture instead of me, I have no choice but to come out like this!
I’m not sure I won’t die, but let’s say that for now. Tana looked at me and Ellen, then put her finger down.
“… … Come to think of it, there’s no need to hit me. And there’s no way I’ll hit you enough to kill you.”
Tana let out a sigh of embarrassment and put her hands down.
Both Ellen and I let out a sigh of relief when we saw the finger that was no different than a murder weapon.
“Well, it’s just like that.”
She flicks a chestnut into the air.
– Boom!
Rather than the sound of fingers snapping, Tana’s fingers resonated with a fierce sound, as if gunpowder had exploded.
what did i hear now?
“There is a difference between the magical power enhancement in the master class.”
“… … .”
Were you trying to slap something like that on my forehead?
Ellen stared blankly at Tana with that gaze.
“Um hmm. Oh, you didn’t… … . hmm.”
Embarrassed, she avoided Ellen’s gaze.
“How did you do it?”
“It’s an aggressive use of magical power enhancement.”
“Aggressive operation… … What?”
“Yes, you and Reinhardt are proficient in magical power enhancement, but you will only be able to strengthen your body internally and gain protection through magical release externally. This is the next step.”
The mana on her right hand seemed to be refined, then suddenly exploded only in the right hand area and repeated the appearance of burning like an explosion.
“Perhaps at a certain level, it will be possible to explosively release mana throughout the body. And it’s getting more and more detailed. From the whole body, only the right foot, only the right arm, and the right arm, only to the bottom of the lower arm, and only the hand, followed by only the fingers.”
Tana held up her index finger, and only on her index finger did the flames of magical power flicker like blue flames.
It becomes possible to explode magical power at a level that only adds defense.
It starts with the whole body and gradually reduces the range.
The destructive power will increase as the mana is concentrated rather than emitted.
Tana’s fingers, which seem to be engulfed in black but blue flames, begin to focus on a single point.
“It’s getting used to concentrating magic power enhancement slowly from the whole body to one extreme point in smaller and smaller increments.”
“Detailed.”
“Concentrate.”
The light that shimmered in Tana’s fingers as she said that gradually began to gather at her fingertips.
“In the end, it will be possible to strengthen magic only at the fingertips like this.”
“Ego. And beyond this stage.”
She grabbed the training sword she had put down.
The training sword she held was gradually covered in blue flames, as if it were ignited by the magical sparks gathered at the tip of her index finger.
“This kind of thing becomes possible when you reach the limit of mana management.”
An ability to strengthen magical power that is detailed and refined to the extent that it can enhance magical power beyond the boundaries of the body.
“That is the condition of the master class.”
When you can do that, you will reach the master class.
