Volume 10, Chapter 22: Exam Finish
I fired a clip of crossbow bolts but while they managed to hit, they didn’t do much damage.
In addition to the continuous fire, 5 of the crossbow bolts were turned into ice shards. One or two hits are basically the same as nothing.
Unfortunately I only have ordinary crossbow ammo on me. If there is something like exploding crossbow ammo, wouldn’t it be trivial to overcome this?
Putting Accelerate on my body, I put away my crossbow, drew the sword from my back, and rushed out of the encirclement.
At the same time I used the menu to change the magic stone in the Magic Guide Book. The previous one had been used up with all of the magic I had been casting.
I’ll only rely on the mana in my body in the worst case. With its value, it is practically useless.
“I have to say, aren’t you bullying too much Ms. Mari? I get the feeling that you aren’t holding back at all. There is a big gap between our levels, isn’t that right?”
“You flatter me”
Ms. Mari came at me from three different directions.
“I’m just trying to improve your potential.”
“What potential......”
With a bitter look on my face, I went through the large number of avatars with Shadow Sneak and rushed up to Ms. Mari.
“Do you want to see it?”
Super Arcane · Punishing · Tearing Cross!
I heard the sound of the magical stones cracking in the book. Really, this type of magic stone can’t withstand the amount of magic absorbed by a Super Arcane level spell.
But thankfully both magic and martial arts use the same type energy slot or I wouldn’t be able to use martial arts with the stone in the Magic Guide Book.
“Super Arcane · Beautiful Water Canopy!”
The two magic guns in Ms. Mari’s hands crossed and split into eight fan shaped metal pieces. At the same time two blue magical arrays appeared in the center of the eight pieces of metal.
A large curtain of water spread like a spider web from the large formation. My red cross slashed down, but the moment it hit countless ice crystals stretched out from the curtain and latched onto my cross!
Oh My God! What the hell! This is the first time I’ve seen a move that can block Tearing Cross! And is this ice magic or something else? Why do I feel like I’ve never seen this before.
But it’s clear that I don’t have time to think about this problem as she turned to face me.
With no other choice, I let go of the weapon and used Charge to escape the encircling avatars.
At the same time I replaced the magic crystal and consumed some of the mana in it with a charge.
“So what exactly are you going to test? Do I have to win?”
If that’s the case I would like you to stop toying with me. With the way that we are fighting, it’s strange that the battle wasn’t decided a moment ago.
“I had been looking forward to fighting you to a draw. But you can’t do it now, can you?”
“I can’t pretend that I didn’t hear that.”
I smiled and threw out what I was holding in my hand.
“What......”
Presumably because she saw what I had thrown out, she immediately opened the net again.
I was waiting for this. Using Acceleration to buff again, I went around the edge of the edge of the field towards Ms. Mari’s back.
At the same time, she finally noticed that what I had thrown was not actually a grenade, but a smoke bomb.
As the smoke covered the area, I went up to Ms. Mari and smashed a reagent at her feet.
“You......”
Ms. Mari tried to turn around only to discover that her feet were frozen to the ground.
Although she is also an ice magician it doesn’t mean that ice magic is ineffective against her. Although the power is weakened, it is very simple to block her ability to move.
Then, I held onto Ms. Mari’s shoulder and smiled.
“Well, I have a certain spell that I can only cast in my present state. Let’s get a feel for it~ Arcane · Snowing Moon – Ice Flower!”
I had come across this spell early in my study of magic, but because the magic could only be used by women it had been sitting unused.
But......now there is a chance to use it. Comparing it to【Ice Field】,【Snowing Moon – Ice Flower】 not only slows people down but also does damage.
Not only that, but the greater the difference in strength the more damage it does.
Then as snowflakes came out from my body, there was a cracking noise and all of Ms. Mari’s avatar’s turned into ice as they lost their forms and functionality.
“At this distance, even with the level gap I can still kill you Ms. Mari~”
I put a knife to her neck and smiled.
“Damn. I knew I should’ve beaten you down with my strongest attacks from the beginning......”
“Hey, that’s not actually testing. Really......”
At the same time applause came from the side.
“Strong! Very strong!”
The person clapping was Prince Sillan. I thought that he would watch half of the fight before running away. I didn’t expect him to still be here.
“Originally I had thought that the profession of magic swordsman was a bad idea, and today I feel as if I was short sighted.”
“Not at all, you are being too kind.”
I said to the prince after putting the knife away.
“Very good. Ms. Mari, the new student will be arranged to enter your class. I’ve come to understand that this girl has had some trouble at home. The country doesn’t want interference with the development of precious talents, so you should arrange for her to move here with her family.”
“All right, I understand.”
Ms. Mari nodded.
When I looked closely, it seems he was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
While we were playing this guy had already finished investigating this body’s history?
Can I truly call them an intelligence agency? That’s too terrifying,
“Well then, I’ll head off first. It was nice to meet you Ms. Felicia. I hope you have an enjoyable day.”
After the prince finished talking he turned and left, leaving me and Ms. Mari looking at each other with wry smiles.
“What’s it feel like to be beaten up by by someone who’s level ten?”
“I’m your teacher now, so you’ll find out soon enough.”
“Hey, don’t abuse your position for revenge!”
“Well, where should I go~”
Looking at Ms. Mari’s expression I only had infinite worries about my future.
