Episode 627
Seeing Wodanaz’s sincere resentment, Giselle felt something in her head snapping.
“Now I’m fighting with my sister because of someone!”
“for a moment. Moradi. Do you fight too?”
“…okay.”
‘Why? Are you trying to stab me in the back while saying we’re fighting together? Have you prepared any traps in advance? If it’s a trap…’
Giselle gritted her teeth as Lee Han made a very blatantly worried face.
“I’m fighting with you in case you’re left behind…”
“Ah. Aren’t you exaggerating too much?”
“It’s not an exaggeration, so calm down. So, why the hell did you uselessly flatter your sister…”
Lee Han’s face became serious as he listened to Giselle’s explanation.
Hearing the story of the northern knights that Ziclin destroyed, he felt that the problem was bigger than he thought.
If I made a mistake, I might have to walk with crutches for the rest of winter vacation.
“I’m a guest from outside, but don’t you control your strength?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe it. My sister says she can’t control her strength well.”
“No, why can’t the person who cuts the Imoogi’s neck adjust the strength?”
“Hey, be careful. There are things everyone can’t do.”
Giselle didn’t allow any criticism about what happened with Giclin.
Lee Han was lost in thought.
‘You’re doing too much. You’re trying to kill me just because you said you wanted to see swordsmanship.’
This was Lee Han’s mistake.
I should have noticed in advance and been careful when I was forced to make an appointment after saying let’s eat!
“Moradi. Didn’t you say you would fight with me?”
“okay. That way, unnie will be able to control her strength a little more.”
“What if I grab you and hold you hostage?”
Alcicle, who was listening by the side, looked at Lee Han in a puzzled way.
do you mean that?
But Giselle answered seriously.
“I thought about that too, but it’s counterproductive to my sister’s personality. They will kill you right after they take me away.”
“As expected.”
“……”
Alcicle wondered if he was the only sane person in the room.
I looked to the side and saw Eandurde munching her sardines.
“Hey, aren’t you the only one who thinks it’s weird? Does that sound strange to you too?”
“?”
Eandurde looked at the penguin beast as if he was talking about something.
* * *
An empty wasteland with nothing in the sky or on the distant horizon.
In the dream he hadn’t seen in a long time, Lee Han knew who had called him.
“nice to meet.”
The black book given by the skeleton headmaster fluttered in the air.
It was a black book that always taught Lee Han new magic in his dreams whenever he faced adversity or hardship.
If nothing else, it was clear that Headmaster Skeleton was considerate of Lee Han in this respect.
If it wasn’t for this black book, Lee Han could have died once or twice in Ein Lorgard.
‘But now that I think about it, if it wasn’t for the principal, wouldn’t it reduce the amount of hardships that would be suffered by about half?’
Farak!
The black book attracted Lee Han’s attention by fluttering as if to stop thinking.
“The Black Book. Tomorrow I’m fighting a strange knight and I need help. Teach me useful magic.”
Parala Rock!
The black book flapped the paper as if to say not to worry.
Seeing that, Lee Han suddenly became worried.
“By the way, isn’t it close-combat magic?”
The magic that the black book taught me was basically the magic that the skeleton headmaster created.
It was only natural that the black book itself was something like an artifact created by the Headmaster Skeleton.
The problem is that all of those magics are biased toward melee combat.
< The Agile Steps of Gonadaltes > or < The Sharp Hand of Gonadaltes >. In addition to < Gonadaltes' Boiling Power >…
At least the non-combat magic < Gonadaltes' Dark Vision > was highly versatile, but it also felt like a magic developed for close combat.
It seemed that melee magic would not be of much help in fighting a knight like Zicline now.
Would an empty cup be full if you put a drop of water into it?
Farak!
The new magic that the black book opened was < Gonadaltes' quickening agility >.
“……”
The black book fluttered as if telling him to learn quickly, not paying attention to Lee Han’s expression.
* * *
Giselle, who had trouble sleeping last night, grumbled over bread.
I still haven’t decided how to fight when I face my sister today.
“Moradi. I had a good idea.”
“…?”
Giselle was puzzled when Lee Han, who appeared at the restaurant, said something like that.
“What?”
“Can you use magic when sparring?”
“It doesn’t matter this time.”
It didn’t matter if Wodanaz or Giselle used magic, as it was a sparring that was conducted because they wanted to show Ziclin’s swordsmanship to Wodanaz, not a swordfight against swordsmanship.
“When will the sparring end?”
“In case of this sparring… I think it will be over if I think that my sister has shown enough of her swordsmanship.”
According to the rules of the match between the knights, the victory conditions were also varied.
Sometimes they really risked their lives and dueled until one of them died, sometimes they fought until the first wound was inflicted, and sometimes they set a special goal and it ended when that goal was achieved.
In this case, it was close to the end.
“okay. It seemed so.”
Lee Han nodded as if he had expected it.
“It’s fine if Ziclin-nim finishes it. So I thought of something like this. Moradi. Unlike the knights, we can use magic, right?”
“yes…?”
Giselle listened intently to see what Wodanaz was trying to say.
“Let’s use magic as much as we can and then lie down saying we’ve exhausted ourselves.”
“…!”
The knights who had to face each other with their swords were supposed to hear Ziclin’s screams the moment they lay down.
Given G-Clean’s naive personality, the excuses of someone who gave up without a fight couldn’t work.
But wizards are a little different.
What would happen if, after using magic, he lay down saying ‘I have no magic’?
…It was a little too filthy, but Giselle was tempted.
“surely. My sister doesn’t know magic, so it might work.”
“yes?”
“But the problem is not completely solved. There won’t be time to use magic for now.”
Excellent knights did not give time when dealing with wizards.
Few beings were as threatening as a wizard with enough time.
Like the other knights, Ziclin would probably rush in as soon as the confrontation started and press them like a storm.
It was free to use magic, but the only thing the two could use was swordsmanship under such strong pressure.
“yes. We have to keep as much distance as possible.”
“I don’t think I meant to bait you while you widened your distance. And that doesn’t work on my sister.”
“Moradi. How do you see me?”
Lee Han protested to his friend and explained the tactics he had prepared.
Judging from G-Clean’s skills, it was a suicidal act to cast magic while clumsily widening the distance as usual.
No matter how much power he didn’t use, he wouldn’t be able to widen the distance that much.
I had to focus only on running away.
“We are two. You have to take advantage of the numbers. I just learned agility enhancement magic a while ago, so I’ll carry you and run away as much as I can. You use magic at Ji-Clean.”
“I see… Wait a minute. None of the ranged magic I have is like that.”
“what? What did you do without learning ranged magic?!”
Giselle was taken aback by Lee Han’s point.
It was true that most of the White Tiger Tower students were relatively weak in long-distance combat, as most of them were strengthening or granting combat magic.
But the other towers didn’t fire magic as randomly as Wardanaz said now. It was a very difficult task in itself to use magic.
“Don’t you know that throwing magic is no joke, and doing it wrong really burns you out?”
“ah. I see… If you do something wrong and really burn out, it’s a turn of events.”
Lee Han, who was worried, nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
“Then there is only one way.”
“??”
* * *
Standing at the gymnasium, Ziclin showed a faint surprise on his face at the unexpected sight.
The younger brother was standing there holding the boy of the house of Wodanaj in both arms.
“Giselle. Now this is…”
“…It’s a strategy.”
“I know what the strategy is. Since the sorcerer himself cannot concentrate the spell while increasing the distance, isn’t Wodanaz trying to cast the spell while Giselle runs away?”
“!”
Instead of being surprised to see this bizarre figure, the two were surprised to see G-Clean guess right away.
“As expected, Mr. Ziclin. You see right away!”
When Lee Han, who was cradled in Giselle’s arms, shouted, Zicline nodded as if it was nothing.
“Mages don’t just use outright surprise tactics. If you take into account that you use magic, you can predict it.”
“indeed.”
“Are you thinking of flattering yourself in this position, you bastard?”
Giselle was stunned by the sight of Wodanaz flattering herself in a horizontally stretched state.
However, Lee Han was confident.
“Moradi. If you’re shy here, it’ll feel even weirder.”
“It’s strange enough already.”
“How are you?”
“I think there are still enough orders. As soon as it starts, blow it with all your might. Because you can’t give your sister a break.”
Before the confrontation began, Lee Han cast all of the strengthening magics he could cast on Giselle, such as < Gonadaltes' Agile Steps > and < Gonadaltes's Rapid Agility >.
This was the only thing to speed up Ziclin’s expectations.
‘I have to go through it.’
“Then let’s begin.”
The moment Ziclin said ‘da’, Ziclin was already in front of him.
Giselle desperately began to increase the distance by exploding magical energy on her legs.
My body was so light that I couldn’t compare it to usual, but I didn’t feel relieved in the slightest.
Catch up!
“Park Mu, spread!”
Fog spread around Giselle. It was a mist of enchantment that made it impossible to focus properly when viewed from the outside.
However, Zicline closed his eyes and chased the two with his senses, correcting their direction. Lee Han and Giselle both put on tired faces.
“Darkness sweep away!”
Lee Han spread the dark wave as if striking a wide area.
Even if it lacks attack power, due to the nature of the dark element, it will definitely have the effect of temporarily stopping the feet of the rushing knight.
However, Zicline held the sword in one hand, clenched a fist with the other free hand, and fired a punch into the air.
The dark waves were offset with the sound of the air ripping. He created such power just by striking with his magical fist.
‘Is it a real monster!?’
Lee Han was shocked, but there was no time for that. He gritted his teeth and recited the next incantation.
“Gather around, rotate!”
Clumps of water gathered in the air and began to spin rapidly.
The water beads loaded with the maximum rotation possible now flew in with a heavy sound.
Zicline swung the sword she hadn’t pulled out yet with the scabbard and shot down the water beads. Although the impact would not have been normal, his posture did not shake at all.
‘amazing!’
Lee Han admired G-Clean’s swordsmanship.
Moradi’s swordsmanship was also an ever-changing double swordsmanship, but Ziclin’s swordsmanship was even more spectacular, as if claiming that it was a real family swordsmanship.
It was to the extent that I couldn’t keep up with the change even if I only spread it with one sword.
“Sharkhan Gonadaltes. come out! Rise up, warriors made of bones…”
Lee Han wondered if he should summon even Perkuntra in the worst case.
It was nonsense to summon Perkuntra in practice sparring, but the knight running right in front of him had the power to make him think about it.
If you keep narrowing down like this…
Tak!
Finally, after pursuing Giselle, Zicline extended his sword and stopped in front of his brother’s forehead.
And praised in a gentle voice.
“They both did well. We are delighted that it exceeded our expectations.”
“……”
“…???”
The two were perplexed.
Giselle came to her senses first and asked.
“Is this the end?”
“That’s right.”
“Your arms and legs are still intact, so you’re saying it’s just over?”
“Giselle. What kind of story is that? If a guest from outside hears it, they will misunderstand it.”
“……”
