[254] Another sky (4)
When the density of Ataraxia exceeded 50%, the students could not stand the heat of the bracelet and complained of pain.
Mark also twirled the bracelet around and asked Amy.
“Seniors! Is this really safe?”
Amy was also breaking out in a cold sweat.
I honestly wasn’t sure. The bracelet didn’t get this hot even after fighting among those who used the most fancy magic in the senior class. It was clear that 2,000 times couldn’t digest Ataraxia’s amount of information.
“I don’t know either. It might explode, so be careful.”
“That’s like that…”
Even so, Amy’s eyes were on the 2,000th. Even if the bracelet exploded, it was tenacity to check the result.
Then, Mark followed the example of his senior and turned off his nerves. In the scene where the geniuses of the century clash, is the degree of burns significant?
At that moment, surprisingly, Dante disarmed the automaton. If she is dragged along like this, Sirone’s magic circle will be completed, and the tight balance of power will collapse.
Iruki was genuinely amazed.
“It is an excellent choice. I’m even reading the battle channels.”
It is difficult to give up the strategy of conversion. People watching from the outside can say anything, but it is because the inertia of the person who puts their all into a confrontation is not easily bent.
But Dante broke it.
Knowing that being swept away by the opponent’s flow is the most lethal thing in battle, I entered the unknown world again. Judging by this judgment alone, Dante was clearly a genius.
‘Damn it! I’ll never lose as long as I’ve come this far!’
Dante converted Spirit Zone into sniper mode. Up to 100 amplification magic circles stretched out in a line in front of Dante.
Ultra-precise serial magic circle white sword.
The magic circles rotated around an imaginary line and tightened.
In a smooth series structure that only considers the amplification of power, there should not be even a millimeter of error.
When the automaton was released, Sirone was able to focus on Ataraxia. But his heart was rather hopeless.
If it had gone the way it was, the victory would have been its own. But Dante created a variable again.
‘That’s great, Dante. Well, that would be the case with me too…’
Now it was a fight over who would build the magic circle first.
Dante’s white sword has a much shorter activation time than Ataraxia, but Sirone also accumulated more than 70% of the information through time division.
A smile formed on Dante’s lips. Hundreds of magic circles disappeared, but Pascal was still alive.
“This is the difference between you and me.”
Sirone realized what she had overlooked and looked down. Before I knew it, a space movement magic circle was engraved under my feet.
Sirone’s body collapsed into the ground, then appeared from the sky and landed headfirst in the exact same place.
“damn! There was a number like that!”
Nade slammed his fist and exploded in anger. Dante can attack as much as he wants while building a white sword.
Of course, this is also just an instruction from the observer, but in order to win, he definitely should have paid attention.
Iruki let out a sigh as if resigned. Sirone also showed great skills. Only Dante had one more, very minor thing.
“It was a good match. I’ll have to admit it.”
Nade shook his fists in resentment. I didn’t hate Dante, I hated Dante’s perfection.
“That child. I deliberately chose space movement magic.”
“Because the 2,000 times there is a blockage judgment for active magic. Attack magic has room for Sirone to withstand. That’s why I inflicted a physical blow. It must be the best defense in the kingdom.”
In the meantime, Dante’s white sword was completed. A fire strike was then mounted at the start of the amplification tunnel.
Dante regained his composure and said with a smile.
“This is the end…!”
Dante’s words came to a halt.
The curious students followed Dante’s gaze. And as if in shock, his eyes widened.
Even though Sirone lost consciousness, Ataraxia was still there.
ping.
A drop of information fell on Halo.
ping. Ping Ping.
drop again. And two more drops.
Ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping!
Suddenly, light began to pour in at a tremendous speed.
The halo rotates faster and the halo is filled with a brilliant light that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Olivia jumped up in disbelief.
“Nonsense! Information imagines itself!”
Alpheas was also surprised. However, if you knew whose ability Sirone’s Ataraxia was, such a phenomenon was only natural.
“It is not human logic. The information system at the stage of thinking for itself the moment it passes the critical point. Isn’t that why it’s called celestial magic?”
Olivia asked with an absurd expression.
“Heavenly magic? What are you talking about?”
Alpheas was silent. As we will eventually find out after this confrontation, heaven was not as important as this moment.
“Finally we have arrived at our destination. The game will be decided here.”
Alfeas pointed his chin at 2,000 times as if telling him not to miss the good view, and Olivia also turned her head.
Sirone, who had regained consciousness, stood up slowly. The photon of the photon cannon was born as the light sagged in front of him with his head lowered. A single photon cannon created with a bit of mental power.
“Damn it!”
Dante managed to suppress the urge to scream and fired a fire strike. The spear of burning air broke through the magic circle and grew in size.
At that moment, a magic circle was completed in front of Sirone.
Ataraxia with super-magic amplification.
Sirone watched as the fire strikes amplified into white swords rushed in. Then, he fired a photon cannon towards the center of the fire.
The scene of photons penetrating Ataraxia came to everyone’s eyes like slow motion.
And the moment you finally cross the line.
Flash!
The world was filled with light.
All objects beyond Ataraxia were swept away by the massive storm.
The momentary flash reached people’s perception a little slowly, and as if the skin of the space was peeled off, wrinkles in the air were revealed and pushed the whole thing away.
Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching!
At the same time, the sound of breaking glass exploded one after another in the place where the students were gathered. As information processing became overloaded, all the crystal balls in the bracelet exploded. 2,000 times stopped working and the scenery made up of simulations disappeared.
Like a midsummer night’s dream, the spectacle disappeared, leaving only dry physics blocks in sight.
nobody spoke up
He had no time to think of anything else as he was thinking about the magic he had just seen. Even the teachers had never seen magic on such a grand scale.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Sirone and Dante.
Seeing the two of them standing on the same street as the first time, the students became agitated.
The variable was that Dante did not collapse.
Sirone’s magic was so powerful that no one could block it. You can tell just by looking at the amount of information that exceeds 2,000 memories. If it had been a real battle, the existence of Dante would have disappeared without a trace.
But this is the 2,000th and Dante is standing.
Even if the synchro rate is 50%, if anti-magic is in, it’s normal to have already lost consciousness.
Maybe the 2,000th system went down before the impact. If so, the distinction between winners and losers becomes a bit contrived.
Given that it was a confrontation between students at school, there was a good chance that the teacher team would end this situation with a beautiful draw.
However, that was not what Sirone’s friends, as well as the students who had watched the battle, wanted.
Sirone and Dante fought a match that will go down in history.
It’s a selfish idea, but the students present here hoped that their memories would draw a definite conclusion.
Sirone glared at Dante while gasping for breath. Since 2,000 disappeared, I had no choice but to watch, but in fact, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t do anything except breathe.
“Ha ha…”
Dante let out a laugh. But he was too exhausted to say anything. I struggled to move, but in the end I couldn’t take three steps and stopped.
His voice leaked out between his slightly parted lips.
“You…”
At that moment, blood poured from Dante’s nose. Then, his eyes gradually lost their vitality, and he collapsed to the floor in the same position as if a giant tree were toppling over.
Iruki said in a trembling voice.
“Goed in. Anti-magic went in before the system turned off.”
Iruki’s voice was small, but it passed through the students’ heads and heads like telepathy.
“Is it true? Dante lost, right?”
“I guess so? Dante… that Dante lost.”
At that moment, as if under a group hypnosis, all the students stood up and burst into cheers. The air in the hall vibrated violently as the sound waves mixed together.
“Sirone wins! Sirone beat Dante, the best in the kingdom!”
Mark barely regained his spirit that had flown to the edge of the sky. Hearing the shouts of the students, he wondered if his tension was relieved, but another emotion struck his heart.
It was the moment when Sirone became the biggest star in the kingdom.
“Aww! Sirone-senpai won! Now you know who’s the best yes? Come on! If anyone else wants to challenge you, go for it!”
Mark was ecstatic as if he had won. Dante’s friends were sitting right next to him with cool expressions, but the adrenaline was overcharged and the petty thoughts had long been erased from their heads.
Killline murmured as if dreaming.
“Oh my God… Dante…”
It was an unbelievable result. However, Dante’s face buried in the cold physics block was an undeniable fact.
472 wins out of 473.
and 1 loss.
It was Dante’s first loss upon entering the world of magic, and it was the end of a ten-year undefeated record.
Olivia kept her seat with a calm expression, buried in the shouts of students from all directions.
I was worried about Dante, but I still had to remain neutral.
Shiina looked at Dante and signaled that he was fine. Only then did a small sigh escape from her mouth.
‘Dante lost.’
I never doubted Dante’s victory. But oddly enough, there was no emotional turmoil when he lost.
It may be because it doesn’t feel like reality yet, but it was a great confrontation that it’s safe to think that it can’t be helped.
‘I have to admit this. Dante also poured everything. Sirone was stronger. That’s it. But…’
The magic Sirone cast at the end. What is the power of that magic? Judging from the temperament, it was clear that it was Sirone’s main specialty, the Photon Cannon.
But to be sure, it was never a photon cannon.
It was a power that even he, a specialist in the magic of words, could only use with determination. No, aside from the power, the amplifying power beyond common sense was the problem. Raising a student-level photon cannon to the power of an archmage was impossible even for him.
Olivia turned to Alfeas. As expected, he didn’t say anything, so it was clear that he knew from the beginning.
Was the reason why I was expecting a fight with Dante because I wanted to see a miracle that would happen with a very small probability? Like a boy rubbing his hands in front of an exciting toy.
‘It’s like a snail. Is this the one that completely fed me?’
Olivia gnashed her teeth with a look of resentment. However, Alpheas, who thought he would make fun of himself, kept his mouth shut for a long time and did not get out of his thoughts.
‘Was it this much power?’
Ataraxia with super-magic amplification.
He heard the story of Sirone’s feat and made some predictions, but the power he saw with his eyes was different from what he heard in words.
Above all, it is a confrontation organized by the Kingdom Teachers Association. A correspondent came and was accompanied by a video recorder.
At this rate, there was no way the king wouldn’t move.
