Chapter 17: Dungeon Practice (5)


    What, crazy!


    Baek Yoo-seol used blinking after abruptly shifting his body to face his chest front. Shortlyter, the me exploded into sparks where he was going tond by a hairs breadth.


    <em>kwakwang!!</em>


    It had the same explosive power as a small bomb.


    Because of the eleration of the fall, he couldnt control his body even after the blink was over, hitting his head on a rock and hurting himself as a result.


    Oh, my


    Even on the dirt floor, the sound of heels could be heard clearly. Baek Yu-seol patted his head, stood up, and looked back.


    Hong Bi-yeon


    She was approaching slowly with her staff pointed this way. Baek Yu-seol became more and more confused.


    No, why is she here again?


    I dont know what kind of grudge everyone has toward me.


    Hong Bi-yeon said while aiming her staff at Baek Yu-seol.


    Commoner, why didnt you just take another stick from them?


    What are you talking about? I couldnt take it.


    Nonsense.


    No, in the first ce, why does it matter if I took those sticks or not?


    She did not respond. Writhing his brows, Baek Yu-seol inquired.


    I wonder if you If I took it all away, were you nning on taking them all at once from me?


    She was silent again, but it was as if she had already answered with her silence.


    Such shameless. Youre a human after all.


    Im a royalty.


    Considering that she believed she could take away my stick in the first ce, it appears that it was not her pride as a royal that motivated her, but rather the confidence thate from knowing she was strong.


    No, isnt that too much? Thats right, I even gave you a special lecture.


    Huh. Domoners not know the difference between a public servant and an apostle?


    She flicked the staff up and down.


    Get ready quickly. Taking away things likemoners does not reflect the dignity of royalty, so Ill deal with you properly.


    Dignity is such a bitch. Is it okay for you to tease the weak in this manner?


    weak? you? Dont be silly.


    Hong Bi-yeon frowned. As if she was genuinely offended and disgusted.


    Ive been watching how you were messing with them, all this time.


    Hong Bi-yeon had been watching the Raiden gang and Baek Yu-fight seols fight since they first met.


    Their point stick was prized, but dealing with six people at once would sap her stamina, so she thought of taking the point sticks all at once when the fight was over and they were physically exhausted.


    Currently, she had 4 point sticks, and she had defeated quite a few monsters, giving her a whopping 144 points. But she still had a long way to go.


    It was because Haewon, whom she had previously met, had points in the 200 range.


    I cant go back with poor grades again this time.


    My mother, she will punish me.


    She was desperate. More desperately than anyone else in Ste, she was working hard to get grades.


    I must win first ce. Only if I win first ce in this academy of geniuses and nobles from all over the world will I be recognized.


    However, thatmoner is ying around.


    Because Hong Bi-yeon had always worked hard, she was dissatisfied with Baek Yu-seol, who possessed power but did not use it well.


    If you dont do your best, you dont deserve points.


    However, she couldnt let go of the tension, whether the other person was amoner or not. Hong Bi-yeon increased her mental power to the maximum.


    She recalled Raiden, who had just been brutally beaten. Regardless of how pitiful they usually acted, their magical abilities were not pathetic. It was good enough for them to be admitted to Ste.


    Although far inferior to Hong Bi-yeon, they were still the elite of the elite who grew up in a wizarding family in their own way, as were the boys who followed Raiden.


    If you have the skills to mess with those guys.


    I have no choice but to burn it with all our might.


    Even Baek Yoo-seol, who had been joking around without even using magic until now, would have no choice but to respond sincerely if she was sincere.


    It was unjust to Baek Yu-seol, who had always been sincere, but Hong Bi-yeon thought so anyway.


    <em>Whack!!</em>


    The sparks from her body began to spread in all directions, linking the trees to each other.


    The waves of me ate and swirled around the trees.


    Because the 4th ss fire field couldnt be implemented yet, an advantageous environment was created bybining 1st ss spark magic and the surrounding terrain.


    Shes smarter than I thought.


    In a cold sweat, Baek Yu-seol looked at the burning field.


    As she aimed the point stick, Hong Bi-yeons brow twitched at the prospect of dealing with it.


    Your wand, arent you going to take it out properly?


    I gave it to you.


    Isnt there a basic cane given to you at the time of admission?


    Oh right. Was there?


    In the first ce, there was no point in using a cane, so Baek Yu-seolpletely forgot about it.


    A wizard, like a Korean soldier who must always carry a K-2 rifle on his body, should always carry a cane.


    Youre still joking around.


    Hong Bi-yeon swung the staff with an angry expression.


    I dont know about the other idiots, but youd better be serious with me.


    <em>Hwareuk!!</em> A barrage of mes and flowers set flies soaring high in the sky, much like a snake.


    If you dont, youll really die.


    In time, the barrage of a me started to explode!


    Even after using two or more shes in a row, it seemed impossible topletely escape that vast wave of mes.


    Knowing that Baek Yoo-seol can move quickly, Hong Bi-yeon had already prepared countermeasures.


    This is going to be a little difficult


    Even the tiny fireflies that were ying near Hongs body would erupt if he got too close. Hed been ying PVP with pyrotechnics wizards and had been beaten by them numerous times, so he was aware of the threat.


    The level was much higher than expected.


    If it was a real battle on a t ground, I would have been robbed in less than a minute.


    Would there be a fight in the first ce? Let alone one minute, it would be settled in a matter of thirty seconds. Only two shes could not beat a monstrous being named Hong Bi-yeon..


    However, things were very different now.


    The constantly changing terrain and the point stick in Baek Yu-seols hand were acting as variables.


    This point stick would be able to destroy Hong Bi-yeons flimsy magic shield, which was renowned for its weak defense.


    It would be difficult to knock her down, but


    At least he wont be helpless.


    <em>Whoa! Whoa! Pop! Pop!!</em>


    A mass of mes was fired from the tip of Hong Bi-yeons staff, as a pir of fire rose from Baek Yu-seols feet.


    The intention was to take the flow from the opponent by using target and shooting alternately.


    Crazy, Im not kidding, really.


    Indeed, it was a formidable force. If she get one right, it was all over.


    However


    Not a single attack reached Baek Yu-seol.


    By twisting his head, he narrowly avoided the barrage of mes passing by his cheeks, and by blinking flexibly, he evaded therge waves of me.


    It was even possible for parring with this point stick, but after seeing the flying me arrows, he hit it as it is!


    W, what!


    For the first time in her life, Hong Bi-yeon was visibly perplexed by the sight of magic being struck down by a weapon.


    The me arrows were as swift as an arrow, so it might not be possible for ordinary people, but Baek Yoo-seol had raised the Magic Leakage Dy level to the maximum level at the time of ying the game, and he could clearly detect the range of attack with his eyes.


    Even though the level was low and only detectable with the sixth sense, for now, it was sufficient.


    <em>Tongterung!!</em>


    As he blinked behind the rock after deflecting all the balls of me that came flying in session, the waves of me hit the pitiful air.


    How long are you going to just dodge!


    Of course, Baek Yu-seol didnt just run away.


    He was slowly awakening his senses by waving the point stick to momentarily radiate magical power to ward off magic or find the optimal path with minimal blinking.


    Sensory enlightenment through practice. Yes. He was now using Hong Bi-yeon for his training.


    She was different from the rest of the world. Although her level was still low, she was closer to a real wizard than anyone he had ever faced.


    Instead of a 3D game operated by a keyboard and mouse, Baek Yoo-seol moved, in reality, to slowly realize the sense of dealing with the wizard.


    Clear.


    The flow of mana fluttered like it could be caught at his fingertips. The sixth sense felt just as familiar as touch, sight, and hearing.


    Ugh, how the hell are you avoiding it?


    Hong Bi-yeon screamed inwardly.


    How can you move freely in this ce that is still constantly entangled and intertwined?


    She thought she could shoot him down enough if she got it right even once, but she kept missing narrowly.


    This terrain is full of trees, surely I have an advantage?


    Hong Bi-yeon thought she made the terrain her own by setting fire to the trees.


    However, in fact, this living and moving terrain were always on the side of Baek Yu-seol, whether it was on fire or not.


    Rather, every time a burning tree soared high and then shrank, repeatedly obscuring her gaze, couldnt Baek Yu-seol dig into the gap?


    this!


    When the me did not reach him despite such a wide range of shots, Hong Bi-yeon made the mes even stronger.


    A move to prepare for big magic!


    And that moment was a gap.


    [Blink]


    Baek Yu-seol in an unexpected movement used a blink and appeared in front of Hong Bi-yeon.


    ah!


    In a very brief moment, their eyes met, and Hong Bi-yeon, who had a wrinkled expression on her face, shut her mouth.


    Area Crash!


    An explosion of mes erupted from Hong Bi-yeons body.


    Baek Yoo-seol knew that magic well.


    It was a magic that was used as a counter to the opponent approaching by a pyrotechnics bishop, which causes a small four-back explosion within a radius of 2m around the body.


    He was able to deal with such a rudimentary response because he had been subjected to the magic so many times before.


    With just one step back, he was able to get exactly 2m away from Hong Bi-yeon, and <em>pooong!</em>


    As soon as the four-back explosion hit the air, he approached without leaving even the 0.1-second gap and stretched out.


    the point stick.


    <em>Clink!!</em>


    Ah!


    Hong Bi-yeons chest was stabbed with a point stick, and her sloppy magic shield broke, pushing her body back.


    If it had been Hong Bi-yeon from the future, she might have fallen gracefully or prepared a second countermeasure before being stabbed, but she now fell backward, most likely due to herck ofbat experience.


    <em>Dump! </em>Hong Bi-yeons face shook from shock, whether from hitting her bottom on the floor or from being attacked.


    The me died away, and silence took its ce.


    It was Baek Yoo-seol who opened his mouth first.


    I won.


    No. Not yet, there is a pyrotechnics aura surrounding me. If you had hit a second time, you would have been immediately swept up in the explosion.


    I know. Thats why it didnt go in.


    Pretending to know!


    She became depressed and shut her mouth as she yelled. It was because she believed that if he had used a real wand and fought her, she would have been defeated sooner.


    What the hell What is your identity?


    Contrary to what she believed, the rumors about him were alsoplicated. Looking into her corner, he said.


    Fuleim. Stop hiding now ande out.


    What?


    When Hong Bi-yeon turned her head in surprise, a ck-haired girl crept out from behind the rock.


    She still looked discontented.
