Chapter 55


    Ah, the more I think about it, the more I get angry.


    Five minutes before the team battle.


    Jin Heeyoon gritted her teeth, thinking of Shin Hayuls words.


    Thinking back on his words, they made her angry.


    What? Do whatever we want because they wont lose? Ha, they must be joking.


    Rx, Heeyoon. Calm down.


    Unlike Jin Heeyoon, Ma Jinseok, who seeded in rxing his anger, calmed her.


    I know it is natural to be angry. But, we have less than 5 minutes before we start. Calm down and focus on this battle.


    ......I know.


    As Ma Jinseok said, she understands with her head that now is not the time to surrender anger to the body.


    However, understanding with the head and practicing with the body are different.


    She thinks she needs to calm down, but she just thinks about it. Her anger shows no sign of cooling down.


    She wants to smack in Shin Hayuls face now.


    ......Ah, Im really upset. What if they win? Ask me to apologize for saying that he was below standard? What a double standard?


    After making such a huge provocation, is that what they are saying?


    I told you to calm down.


    I know! Im gonna calm down!


    Ma Jinseok sighed loudly as Jin Heeyoon seemed to have no intention of calming down at all.


    ......We are in trouble.


    Ma Jinseok also looked at the other juniors.


    Except for Kang Shinwoo, everyone was in a state of rage like Jin Heeyoon.


    It is a natural reaction.


    Even Ma Jinseok, who is famous for being cool and calm, exploded in anger.


    It was impossible for the other juniors to remain calm.


    Even though I want to calm them down, I dont have enough time.


    There are about 2 minutes left before the battle begins.


    There is nothing he can do with just 2 minutes.


    We arepletely wrapped up.


    Ma Jinseok clicked his tongue.


    It was very ufortable that everything seemed to be going ording to Shin Hayuls intention.


    Then what should I do? It will cause an opposite effect if I try to calm them down any longer.


    If you tell a crying child to stop crying, it will cry more.


    Telling them to calm down in this situation would cause an opposite effect.


    Since it hase to this, it is better to take advantage of Heeyoons anger.


    It is true that anger is poison in battle.


    However, if you use the poison well, it can be a medicine.


    Anger is the best doping drug to bring ones power to the limit.


    A strategy that erases the shorings of anger and fully uses the advantages of it.


    Ma Jinseok designed a new strategy.


    Im sorry, but lets change our strategy with only 2 minutes left before the battle begins.


    Anger makes people lose their peace of mind, and blur their judgment.


    This is the shoring of the energy source of anger.


    What should be done to erase this shoring?


    The answer is simple.


    Just rule out situations that will blur their judgment.


    Heeyoon, dont think about anything else, but just take away the opponents g.


    Unconditional offensive.


    A charge that requires no judgment.


    When ites to ying that role, anger bes a force, not a poison.


    So, you are telling me to think only about beating them?


    Yes, you dont want it?


    No.


    Jin Heeyoonughed like a wild animal.


    I like it.


    * * *


    3 minutester, the battle began.


    I found the opponents g.


    Jin Heeyoon, who went on the offensive, found the g of Shin Hayuls team.


    It was a splendid achievement in 5 minutes of the battle.


    Good job. Whos guarding the g?


    Ma Jinseoks voice was heard over the radio.


    As Ma Jinseok had to think about the bnce of offense and defense, it was more important for him to know who was guarding the g than where the g was.


    Theres only one person I can see. Ji Soonchan is guarding the g alone.


    In front of the opponents g, Ji Soonchan was wary of all sides with a serious look on his face.


    It doesnt seem like there are other people around.


    Ji Soonchan alone?


    Ma Jinseok was surprised.


    Not anyone else, but only Ji Soonchan was entrusted with the defense?


    It was an iprehensible judgment.


    Is there someone hiding around him?


    I dont know. I dont think there is.......


    She checked again, but there was no sign of somebody elses presence around her.


    Be careful. Both of them might be hiding, leaving Ji Soonchan as bait.


    However, since the opponent is Shin Hayul and Ade, there is a possibility that they are using a hiding magic thatpletely hides their presences.


    Dont be careless.


    I will try to attack with as much caution as possible.


    Okay, please.


    After saying that, the radio cut off.


    Lets go.


    The two people in charge of the offense like Jin Heeyoon nodded.


    Hey, are you guarding this house alone?


    Jin Heeyoon appeared in front of Ji Soonchan.


    Yes, it happened somehow.


    Ji Soonchan replied calmly.


    As if he had expected Jin Heeyoon to appear, there was no shaking.


    You knew I wasing?


    Yes, well.


    In fact, Ji Soonchan knew in advance that Jin Heeyoon would appear like this.


    How?


    Hayul said. You have a lot of anger, so you wont be able to control your anger until the start of the battle. It would be awkward for you to defend in that state, so you will definitely attack.


    .......


    Jin Heeyoons eyebrows flinched with annoyance.


    He was expecting me toe, and left you alone to defend?


    Yes.


    Why?


    Why?


    Ji Soonchan shrugged his shoulders calmly.


    Because I can stop you by myself.


    Jin Heeyoons middle of the forehead frowned.


    ......Birds of feather flock together. You two are the same. You are just as arrogant.


    It was a provocation that would normally have been snorted over, but now it was the best provocation for Jin Heeyoon.


    Simr to Hayul. That is the bestpliment.


    Ji Soonchanughed with a pretty ufortable face.


    Ha.


    Jin Heeyoons head became hotter.


    Hey, you seem to think that youve be a great person since you are with them.


    mes burned around her.


    Dont be mistaken. You are an ordinary person.


    Jin Heeyoon.


    4 circle user.


    Her special magic is fire-attribute magic.


    The mes around her seemed to show her fiery temper.


    Hey, why would I be mistaken? I know that well. Im nothingpared to those two.


    Mana was also boiled around Ji Soonchan.


    It fluctuates violently as if responding to Jin Heeyoons mes.


    ......You know yourself.


    Jin Heeyoon lifted her right hand and unfolded it.


    At the moment, the mes were met with a single point.


    4th circle fire-attribute magic.


    <strong>me Sniper.</strong>


    A magic bullet of me made by condensing the mes as much as possible.


    It flew toward the g behind Ji Soonchan.


    Among the 4 circle magics, it is a fire-attribute magic highly evaluated for its power.


    One-point breakthroughpression magic, which is the most powerful among the fire-attribute magic. me Sniper.


    This magic is not a level of magic that a 3rd circle magician can block.


    It is a futile end.


    me sniper will pierce the g with Ji Soonchan.


    Then, its over. The victory of the juniors team is confirmed.


    But.


    <em>Baaaaaaaaaang-!</em>


    Contrary to Jin Heeyoons expectation, the me Sniper could not pierce the g or Ji Soonchan.


    ......Did you block it?


    The unusual octagonal shield in front of Ji Soonchan perfectly blocked the me snipers rush.


    <em>Clinnnnnnnnnng-!</em>


    The me Sniper was blocked by barriers and spun fiercely.


    The two magics shed, and a loud roar rang out.


    Hayul said this.


    Ji Soonchans voice rang through the roar.


    You think you are a damage dealer, but you are a tank by nature.


    There was a smile around Ji Soonchans mouth.


    My main attribute is non-attribute. I, especially, have exceptional talent for defense magic.


    Magicians have their own main attributes.


    Kim Kang-n, the owner of the Blue Magic Tower, has water-attribute magic. James Piller, the owner of the Red Magic Tower, has fire-attribute magic.


    Likewise, Jin Heeyoon also has fire-attribute magic.


    These main attributes are characterized by low mental power consumption, high power and output.


    And Ji Soonchans main attribute is non-attribute. He is specialized in defense.


    Your main attribute is defense magic?


    Yes.


    <em>Fwoo, Fwoosh.......</em>


    Soon, the me Sniper, which lost all power, scattered and disappeared.


    You told me before? You said I am nothingpared to Hayul and Ade. Yes. I am really nothingpared to Hayul and Ade. But.......


    Ji Soonchan smiled andughed, full of the meaning of the provocation.


    I think I have enough topare to you.


    ......You.


    The middle of Jin Heeyoons forehead frowned again.


    Even more blood rushed to her head.


    Dont mess with me!


    Jin Heeyoon left her spot.


    In line with her, the two also left their spots.


    Ji Soonchan was surrounded in an instant.


    Well, can you also block this.......?


    Jin Heeyoon demonstrated her magic in front of Ji Soonchan.


    Let see!!


    <em>Fiery Fist</em>.


    4th circle short distance fire-attribute magic that Shin Hayul has used before.


    It was the st Impaction.


    <em>Baaaaaaang-!</em>


    Ji Soonchans barrier crashed and a terrible explosion happened.


    Ugh.......!


    However, this time, Jin Heeyoon failed to pierce Ji Soonchans barrier.


    Why is it so tough?


    An octagonal barrier that she has never seen before.


    It definitely seems to be a 3 circle level output, but she doesnt know why it is so tough.


    But, they wont block all three attacks at the same time. We won!


    She could see her colleagues over both shoulders of Ji Soonchan.


    They are going to attack the g soon. Ji Soonchan alone would not be able to prevent all the attacks.


    She was sure that Jin Heeyoon won this time.


    But then.


    ......16-66. 13-26.


    Ji Soonchan muttered something.


    And the next moment.


    <em>aaaaaash-!</em>


    She heard something cutting through the wind.


    The sound of the mana wind cutting through the air.


    Jin Heeyoons eyes became bigger.


    In the distance, two Wind Cutters were flying towards her colleagues.


    Watch out!


    .......


    At Jin Heeyoons cry, the two left their spots at the same time.


    A wind-cutter cut through the spots where the two had left.


    16-77.


    Ji Soonchan muttered again.


    At that moment, one of the Wind Cutters ran off its track.


    The Wind Cutters, which had run off its track, pursued the man who had left the spot.


    Ugh!


    The man hurriedly used the barrier to block the Wind Cutters.


    The Wind Cutters that hit the barrier scattered into the wind.


    There was a moment of silence.


    ......Shin Hayul.


    Wind Cutters running off its track.


    This is the magic of Shin Hayul.


    Be careful, everyone! Shin Hayul is hiding around here.


    Jin Heeyoon stepped back and was on alert for now.


    Where is he?


    Then, she quickly looked around.


    An area full of trees and bushes.


    Shin Hayul is hiding in between there.


    Where the hell are you.......


    Jin Heeyoon and the two are on alert.


    Again, Ji Soonchan muttered quietly.


    21-83.


    <em>Crunch!</em>


    At that moment, there was a sound of a leaf falling behind Jin Heeyoon.


    Jin Heeyoon, who sensed the danger, threw herself to the side.


    <em>Whoosh-!</em>


    A gray sphere swept through the spot where Jin Hee-yoon originally stood and flew high into the sky.


    ......Moonlight bomb?


    Moonlight Bomb.


    It was the vision magic that Mystic Wi n boasted.


    Damn it!


    The use of a Moonlight Bomb meant that Adel was also hiding around here.


    Jin Heeyoon stepped back with a face of great embarrassment and shouted at the radio.


    Ma Jinseok! All three of them are here! We need help!


    Looking at Jin Heeyoon, Ji Soonchan muttered unknown numbers again.


    19-32. 6-22.


    A Moonlight Bomb and a Wind Spear rushed toward Jin Heeyoon, who had distanced herself from the two.


    Dont hide ande out! You cowards!


    Looking at Jin Heeyoon shouting, Ji Soonchan twisted the corners of his mouth.


    * * *


    The juniors camp.


    Ma Jinseok was guarding the g alone.


    The idea is to reduce our powers by defending together, and then divide the offense and defense. This is their strategy.


    Until a minute ago, there were 4 defenders. At Jin Heeyoons request for help, Kang Shinwoo and three other yers were sent to the offensive team.


    Since there were all three over there, there was no reason for 4 people to keep the g.


    Ma Jinseok also wanted to go to help, but he stayed just in case.


    It wasnt a bad strategy. But, they were unlucky. The distance between the two camps is less than 3 minutes.......


    It would have been dangerous if each others camps were more than 10 minutes apart.


    Jin Heeyoons team must have been wiped out before their support arrived.


    Whatever it is, its over.


    The three, including Kang Shinwoo, will join Jin Heeyoons team soon.


    If that happens, the power difference is doubled by 3:6.


    Its actually the same as winning.


    It was then.


    <em>Whoosh-!</em>


    He heard something flying over him.


    The rm went off on the head of Ma Jin-seok.


    Attack?


    Immediately, he used a shield to protect the g.


    <em>Baang-!</em>


    A Wind Cutter blocked and disappeared by the shield.


    ......Silent assassin?


    The de of the wind that flies silently.


    You have a good sense.


    There was a voice from the direction the silence assassin had flown.


    Shin Hayul?


    Shin Hayul walked out.


    ......How are you here?


    Ma Jinseoks eyes trembled.


    Damn Wind Cutter! Shin Hayul! Where are you hiding?


    Considering the sound heard over the radio, Shin Hayul shouldnt be here.


    How the hell is Shin Hayul here?


    Well.


    The voice came through the in-ear Shin Hayul was wearing.


    11-22.


    Shin Hayul moved mana ording to Soonchans voice.


    How am I supposed to be here?


    Shin Hayuls smile widened.
