Chapter 94: Ahh!


    Chapter 94  Ahh!


    Dont do that.


    n nodded at Trixie.


    The evaluation criteria was not about winning or losing.


    It was about how well they hid their presence, so it didnt matter much who their opponent was, even if it was n.


    Besides, he had a bit of curiosity to test the power of the ancient runes quickly.


    Unique Boundary


    It was a magic that manipted space and created a unique domain for the caster, using the power of the maniption type ancient runes.


    It was based on his theory and the research organized by Maiev.


    The World of Painting was nothing but a fantasy, but the Unique Boundary was implemented in reality.


    The difference between the two fields was as big as heaven and earth.


    n was curious about its exact performance.


    You epted it, right?


    Trixie muttered with a serious face, as if she wanted to get confirmation.


    Yes. I wont change my mind.


    Trixie nodded with a relieved expression.


    But that thought was only for a moment.


    Suddenly, she remembered the previous duel with n.


    The nagging memory of wondering if he had deliberately spared her.


    The girl quickly licked her lips.


    You. I have something to add.


    Trixie didnt want n to be moderate. Her goal was to win in a match where they both gave their best.


    Dont hold back. Be serious in the duel


    Thud!


    Before she could finish her sentence, her head snapped back.


    It was so powerful that it seemed like her neck would break.


    The eyes of the spectators were filled with worry and shock.


    Trixie was frozen for a moment.


    She wondered if this was what they meant by seeing stars.


    n narrowed his eyes and asked.


    Did you say something?


    A cold tone. Trixie slowly turned her head back.


    She blinked a few times.


    Something dripped from her nose.


    It was blood.


    Its nothing.


    Whoosh!


    Trixie immediately shaped her mes like y.


    Soon, a blue wolf appeared.


    It was Fire Wolf, inspired by the beast she met in the preliminaries. Fire Wolf swallowed n like a wave.


    Crack!


    n, who was swallowed by the huge mouth, disappeared from sight.


    Trixie quickly made a contract and chanted.


    She added support to the Fire Wolf.


    me is the heart of hell.


    Trixie nted the nature of explosion on each tooth of Fire Wolf.


    In other words, Fire Wolf now had dozens of bombs in its mouth.


    But the blessing of ignition.


    As soon as she finished the chant in her mind, each tooth of Fire Wolf began to heat up, and as a result.


    Boom!


    Elemental explosion. That was all.


    Roar!


    Fire Wolf spat out the me and explosion like breath and ran wild.


    !


    The sight of something resembling a dragon made the eyes of the watchers widen.


    Before approaching it with a magical principle, it was an amazing spectacle just by looking at it with the naked eye.


    This was all the result of Trixies talent and effort that she had polished until recently.


    Huff


    Trixie wiped the sweat that dripped from her forehead.


    She felt a bit dizzy from using too much mana at once.


    She felt a little proud.


    The stadium, which was ridiculously wide, was covered in mes.


    Trixie would have only imagined this scene in the past.


    But that pride soon faded.


    At some point, the whole stadium turned ck.


    No other representatives, no spectators, no Fire Wolf.


    In the middle of it, there was only n.


    Trixie still couldnt understand this principle. Only one thing was certain now.


    Trixies magic didnt reach n.


    n opened his mouth calmly.


    Your magic was detected by a passing dog. By now, a few knights must have arrived.


    Three seconds of silence, n continued.


    And by now, death. Its obvious.


    Trixie narrowed her brows.


    She realized that she hadnt focused at all on hiding her magic.


    But what truly angered her was that even though she did her best without thinking of concealing her magic, she couldnt even reach n.


    Trixie bit her lower lip.


    No, its not obvious.


    And she started to control the fire again.


    This time, she focused on hiding her presence, and stretched out the fire like a shadow in the shape of a snake.


    It was a magic worthy of being called assassination.


    Swoosh!


    But like dried leaves crumbling, that stealthy movement was soonpletely blocked.


    To be exact, it was snatched away.


    The blue fire that formed the shape of a snake was sucked into n.


    Ugh


    As n just stared at her calmly, anger boiled up in Trixie, and she gathered mana again.


    ?


    She tried to gather it, but failed. Again, the mana flowed into n.


    Trixie soon realized the nature of it. It was not a simple defense, but absorption.


    After a while, n opened his mouth.


    Its obvious now. You said to hide your presence, but you only reduced your power to the point where there was no presence at all.


    He felt all the magic that urred within the Unique Boundary much more clearly than before.


    The principle, the presence, the intensity Everything.


    I never told you to weaken yourself. I repeatedly told you to maintain your strength and only erase your presence.


    But that was what n was good at.


    But within his own Unique Boundary, and if the other person had the power of mana


    He could absorb that mana.


    He could use the other persons mana to cast magic.


    In other words, n was more free from the constraints of mana. If the total amount was insufficient, he could borrow from the other mage.


    Its not hard at all. Ill exin it only once.


    Thats why this kind of personal tutoring was possible.


    n handed back the blue fire that was stuck in the air to Trixie.


    Maintain the full firepower of this and only erase your presence. Its definitely what you learned.


    She was angry at herself for finding it difficult when he said it was not.


    Trixie started to draw the form again from the beginning.


    She had plenty of time anyway, so she wanted to seed this time.


    She wove together the 21 lines, changing the thickness every three lines, like stitching.


    That theory It was applied here.


    She felt like she could see the answer as she slowly unraveled it.


    She felt good.


    She was confident.


    Her fingers sped up, and the moment she was sure she would seed.


    !


    Trixie was startled.


    Something grabbed her arm.


    ?!


    And the next moment, I was even more shocked and trembled.


    It was because that something was none other than ns hand.


    He grabbed Trixies arm and started moving her finger like a chalk.


    He corrected the magic symbols one by one.


    That part is not right. You need to fix this part.


    You, you, you What are you


    Fire Wolf is Fritzs inner power. Theres no choice. You have to draw it with your finger.


    My body, which had never been touched by even a maid.


    The shock was tremendous.


    The blue girls face was unexpectedly dyed with confusion. It was natural that her body was shaking.


    Who do you think you are, using someone elses hand like a chalk


    Focus. To hide your presence, you need to.


    n continued to exin quietly.


    It was the first time I heard his low voice so close.


    It was also the first time I realized how tall he was.


    The girl suddenly lifted her head.


    ns indifferent eyes were still looking at the magic symbols.


    You have to pay attention to your breathing in this part. Those who have reached the state can sense your intention with just your breathing


    She couldnt concentrate on ns exnation.


    She wondered how to define this strange atmosphere and situation, and how to react to it.


    And then.


    ns scent tickled Trixies nose.


    A familiar scent.


    Ah!


    Trixie let out a stupid scream.


    The mana that she had focused on scattered and the magic symbols exploded with a bang.


    The energy that burst out in all directions was soon absorbed by n.


    n smiled and muttered.


    I like it.


    He was sincere.


    Truly sincere, n was satisfied with the unique barrier.


    What, what are you talking about? Get away. Get away! Get, get away!


    Trixie pushed n away and hurriedly left the arena.


    Becky.


    Louis, who arrivedte at the training ground, called out to Becky. But Becky was nkly standing still and didnt answer.


    Becky?


    Ah, um. Yeah.


    Louis had no choice but to touch Beckys shoulder with his index finger. Then a lukewarm reaction came back.


    I just got here. What should I do first?


    Um


    But that was just a reaction in name only. Beckys mind was already sold elsewhere.


    It was natural that Louis was curious about why Becky was in shock.


    Louis followed Beckys gaze.


    ?


    First, there was n, who was lost in thought.


    And behind him, in the stands, there were about eight professors who were murmuring with excited expressions.


    What happened?


    Something must have happened.


    Louis remembered Trixies face that he had encountered when he entered the training ground.


    Her face was red, and she was staggering and couldnt walk properly. She was not normal.


    Becky, can you tell me what happened?


    Becky couldnt answer.


    The girls head was a mess.


    Louiss kindly offered words didnt reach her ears at all.


    ns magic.


    That was all in her head.


    The ck barrier that she had just seen in her head was spinning.


    It was deep and dark ck.


    An energy that she had never felt before. She had never seen anything like that.


    Becky?


    Louis called Becky again.


    Now there was no answer at all.


    In the meantime, the professors voices and excitement continued to grow. Louis felt their agitation clearly with his eyes.


    n must have done something again


    The boy muttered quietly.


    If he had to express his feelings, he was sorry that he couldnt see ns something with his own eyes.


    Representative students.


    Then, a neat-looking woman with sses came up to Louis and Becky.


    Louis had seen her face a few times.


    She was probably the deans secretary, he remembered.


    The inspection is over. So You can spend the rest of the day freely.


    She also seemed to have been shocked, as she kept pushing up her sses.


    The secretary who finished the delivery hurriedly approached n.


    Student n. The inspection is done, and we want to talk to you. Please, I beg you.


    n nodded his head in eptance.


    Louis couldnt help but snort at the sight of the secretary who almost dragged the student away.


    Of all days, I had to bete today. I missed a big opportunity in life.


    He muttered under his breath.


    Finally, the morning of the Huntingpetition dawned.


    The day hase.


    The second princess, Aurora.


    Her golden eyes were identical to her younger brothers, but her jet-ck hair waspletely opposite.


    She had been receiving reports from the pce officials since the crack of dawn.


    There wont be any problems with the broadcast, right? I hate being frustrated.


    You can see for yourself, Your Highness. The reporters will do their best.


    The venue for the Huntingpetition was the region Berkel, where the Demons were rampant.


    The representatives who disyed their fierce skills on the scene were vividly transmitted to the Academy. It was all up to them. Therefore, the role and responsibility of the reporters were also immense.


    Will he show up this year?


    Pardon?


    The Knight of the Flickering me, the one who can break that womans shoulder armor.


    I doubt that, Your Highness. The public says that its a scoop just to see her wield her sword


    The Knight of the Flickering me, Scarlet, also participated in the Huntingpetition.


    The teams that inflicted damage on Scarlets shoulder armor were rewarded with an absurd amount of points.


    She was not participating as a representative, but as a special attraction for the viewers who wanted to see the Knight of the Flickering me.


    Thanks to that, the viewers could see the Knight of the Flickering me in the Huntingpetition, and the teams had a chance to turn the tables.


    Of course, the possibility of seizing that opportunity was close to impossible, if that was a drawback.


    Hmm. Then who do you think will win this time?


    Unless something unexpected happens, I predict the Heavenly Pir.


    It seems like this year is full of surprises, though.


    Aurora got up from her seat.


    She moved her steps and looked at the school map of the Merhen Academy on the wall.


    And thats not the only interesting thing.


    First, thergest building in the Knight Department.


    The Knight Temple, where the Round Table was located. It was awe-inspiring just to look at it.


    The Knight of the Flickering me.


    This time, she headed to the opposite side of the second princess.


    The highest tower-shaped building in the Magic Department. It was the Magic Tower.


    And n.


    From what she heard, n was a man who was full of self-confidence and grand goals.


    She currently held the royal secret oath in her hand.


    This secret would no longer be a secret when the Huntingpetition was over.


    I wonder how it will turn out


    She looked forward to that day.


    It would be quite fun to watch how much and how far this magician would fly.


    Fly high, for once.


    Maybe then, he would catch her eye.


    Aurora smirked.
