Chapter 218: Azuaz VS Kyung-joon (2)
A strong headwind blew, making her hair flutter wildly.
Kyung-joon was about to break the sound barrier.
Nevertheless, the situation wasn’t good.
<!•̀.̫•́✧>
<Hehe, 『that』 is correct. I understand.>
<However, the Research Progress of the Magic Breaker will be slightly delayed. Is that alright?>
Kyung-joon looked back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The joy of exploding forward, instantly detonating the mana of martial arts.
Probably less than 3 seconds left until Azuaz catches up!
” Uh, it doesn’t matter. “
Kyung-joon quickly made a decision.
” Turn on Deterministic Worldview and use Lagrangian to display the most efficient evasion route in front of me. Ignore air resistance in the Constraint and only consider gravity and that fairy. “
He added more instructions at a very fast pace, like rapping.
<OK! (ᵔᗜᵔ*)>
<Executing process 『Optimized path with calculus of variations』.>
<Beware of impact!>
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Booom! Bang! Wheek! Shweeeeek!!
The video shook violently every moment!
” Ugh……! “
Thanks to this, Photo Liner, who was filming the video, was having a very hard time.
” Hey! Show the video properly! “
” The quality is terrible. “
” It’s too shaky. I feel nauseous. “
” Can’t you film better over there? “
The students gathered in the square of the ruined PUBG booth complained about the shaky and out-of-focus video.
” I’ve only filmed birds in my life, never an actual aerial battle! If you’re going to complain, why don’t you film it yourselves!! “
The speed at which they were flying, changing directions erratically, was so unpredictable that even a V.O.FE. club member who knew some video magic couldn’t film it properly.
Although the video was not clear, one thing was certain.
” Wow…… “
Edict, who had been staring at the video with a blank expression,
” He’s human, but he’s really amazing…… Kyung-joon-nim too, humans have really risen to the top these days…… “
He muttered, sighing in admiration.
” Ah, right. “
Teclyn wanted to tell him something he hadn’t mentioned yet.
” By the way, that human is Kyung-joon-nim, the one you’ve been looking for. “
” Ahhh…… I see…… “
Edict seemed to accept it easily.
” What the?! “
He couldn’t help but be surprised.
” No way, what nonsense are you―! “
” For your information, it’s not nonsense. “
Stutter, stutter, stutter.
Edict couldn’t easily speak at Teclyn’s firm words!
” Really……? “
” Yes. “
” For real?! “
” Yes! “
After a few more confirmations……
” Wow! As expected of our Kyung-joon-nim!! “
……Edict quickly synchronized the human in the video with the Kyung-joon-nim he had imagined.
” He has arrived, he has! The human in the video right now is Kyung-joon-nim, the idol of our Scrollpia!! “
Edict started shouting to everyone gathered in the ruins of the square.
He was so excited that his voice was so loud that everyone in the square ruins could hear him even without an amplification scroll.
<Affiliation – Independent>
” What? Really? Then is that guy the scroll programmer or whatever? “
The word had spread so much during the three weeks of the festival that even the independents, who weren’t particularly on any side, had heard of Kyung-joon.
<Affiliation – Scrollpia>
” What, what! Edict, really?! Why is Kyung-joon-nim here! Crazy! Awesome!! “
Naturally, the Scrollpia members cheered wildly.
<Affiliation – Those Who Tear Paper>
” Don’t make me laugh! Even a passing dragon would laugh! There’s no way a human who just scribbles scrolls can fight a fairy! “
On the other hand, Those Who Tear Paper couldn’t easily accept that fact.
” What?! Are you insulting Kyung-joon-nim right now? “
” So what if I am! “
Murmur, murmur!
A debate began about whether the human in the video was actually Kyung-joon.
The fight, which had already ended with everyone except Kyung-joon at 0 points, was about to resume.
(※Azuaz is an exception as she is participating as a Safety Officer even though she is an independent.)
” It’s Professor Kyung-joon. I saw him. “
Teclyn tried to clear things up before chaos ensued.
” Actually, that laser that wiped you all out was all planned by that person, Professor Kyung-joon. “
Teclyn’s shocking declaration continued!
” W, What……? “
Zot, the leader of Those Who Tear Paper, grimaced.
” How can you expect us to believe that! “
” Then go ask him yourself when he comes down later. “
Teclyn didn’t seem to want to bother refuting him with a tired expression.
But she added,
” But that’s the only explanation, isn’t it? Didn’t you see the status window when the laser fell from the sky, that pseudo epic or whatever? “
[Epic (Pseudo) Epic Magic 『Heaven’s Punishment』 ]
[Subtitle -Maybe, Satellite Energy Beam- presendted by Kyung-joon ^오^&]
That’s what Teclyn was talking about.
” Ugh……! “
Zot was flustered and couldn’t refute immediately.
” And also. In the subtitles just now, Constraint? Lagrangian……? Have you ever heard those words while learning magic? I haven’t either, so I can’t be sure, but what we just saw definitely sounded like terms from another world, right? “
” T, That’s…… “
Unlike the first week of the festival, this war of words was won by Teclyn, not Zot.
” Now that I hear it…… I guess that human is Kyung-joon-nim. “
” Wooow! Kyung-joon-nim!! “
” That scroll programming guy was that strong……? Unbelievable…… “
Eventually, the atmosphere shifted towards believing that it was Kyung-joon.
And just in time.
<V.O.FE. Club Member>
▼Photo Liner (NPC)
” Got it! Focus locked!! “
Snap!
The video, which until now had been unable to properly follow their fight, finally came into focus.
It was still incredibly fast, but the momentum had completely died down.
●[Kyung-joon]: 81→71→62→55→49→44 points
○[Azuaz]: 82→81→79→79→78 points
Bang! Boom! Boom! Crash!
Azuaz’s powerful offensive!
On the other hand, Kyung-joon seemed to be barely blocking.
” Hmph! As expected, it’s ridiculous for an otherworlder to go up against a fairy! She was just playing around until now! “
Zot boasted, trying to claim a mental victory.
Teclyn could have responded more aggressively to his taunt, but……
” Are you blind? “
Teclyn simply replied curtly without saying much.
” What? What are you talking about! “
It was Zot who was getting more riled up.
Teclyn decided to enlighten him with the truth.
” That person is beyond what you think…… No, he’s completely different from what Edict thinks he is, okay? “
” What’s that supposed to…… “
” Forget it. “
Teclyn cut off Zot’s words and pointed her finger at the video.
Bang! Boom! Boom! Crackle!
Azuaz still had the upper hand in the attack, and Kyung-joon was only defending.
” Ha! He’s still losing, what’s…… “
” Look closely. “
At Teclyn’s unknown urging, Zot watched the video closely.
Zot, though twisted and warped, wasn’t stupid.
He realized something.
” That…… That can’t be…… “
Little by little,
The atmosphere was changing.
Light was devouring light.
The pure white light, which had clearly been dominant, was being swallowed by an unknown, shimmering light.
And when it reached a certain point,
●[Kyung-joon]: 31→29→28→27
The rate at which the points decreased slowed down……
●[Kyung-joon]: 27→26→26→26→26→26→26→26→26→26 points
And then it stopped completely.
The rate at which Kyung-joon’s points were depleting had ‘stopped’.
” T, That’s…… impossible…… “
Zot’s pupils trembled.
Teclyn didn’t smirk at him; she just continued to look up with a somber expression.
” He wasn’t fighting in the first place. “
She continued, her gaze fixed on the sky.
” He was 『researching』. “
Having been beaten by Kyung-joon yesterday and helping him with his work afterwards, Teclyn knew.
” You’ll see now. “
” What in the world…… “
Zot asked back in a calmer voice.
No, rather than calm……
” What in the world……!! “
He was overwhelmed.
Only then did Teclyn laugh emptily and add,
” That fairy…… Azuaz, was it? I bet she won’t be able to reduce a single point from now on, right? “
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Back to Azuaz’s perspective.
She was in the middle of pressing her attack on Kyung-joon.
Or rather, that’s what Azuaz ‘thought’ she was doing.
‘Why, why……! Why isn’t it working……?!!’
At first, she had a huge advantage.
He showed incredible mana control and speed for a human……
But it was nothing compared to a fairy, born blessed with mana and wings.
Moreover, she was from the highest peak of the Fairy-Elven Alliance, so there was no way a mere human like him could defeat her.
However.
More and more.
It was getting slower.
At first, she inflicted 10 points of damage with her palm strike.
Then 9 points of damage.
It decreased a little after that, but it was still a significant 7 points of damage.
On the other hand, she only lost 1 or 2 points.
Every time they clashed, she reduced his points by several times her own.
Perfect profit damage trade!
However.
She started to feel something was strange.
It was when she used the same palm strike but could only inflict half the damage, 5 points.
It was after that.
Her attacks gradually began to be eaten away.
From 7 points to 6 points.
5 points.
4 points.
3 points……
……
1 point.
And now……
▶Kyung-joon: 26→26→26→26→26→26→26→26→26
『0 points』.
[Due to unknown mana, 『Fairy-style Magic Body Enhancement – Palm Strike 』 reverts to its original mana.]
[Reverted mana is absorbed by the opponent.]
[Due to unknown mana, 『Fairy-style Magic Body Enhancement – Heavenly Fist 』 reverts to its original mana.]
[Reverted mana is absorbed by the opponent.]
[Due to unknown mana……]
” Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Just take the damn damage―!! “
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
All of Azuaz’s skills rained down on Kyung-joon.
However.
” Useless. Useless. Useless. Useless. Useless. Useless. It’s all useless. “
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
All of Azuaz’s attacks were blocked and devoured by Kyung-joon’s unknown mana.
She couldn’t win.
She can’t win.
Since entering Fael University.
She had never lost to anyone in martial arts, though she might have in academic studies or grades.
But to think that the first opponent she would lose to was neither a fellow fairy nor a similar elf……
But an otherworlder who had only been in this world for less than 2 years……!!
” You! You, you, you, you, you……! “
Thud! Crackle!
Thud! Crackle!
” Who the hell are you―!! “
Bang!
She threw a punch with all her might.
Fwoosh……
It was blocked by a single finger, Kyung-joon’s index finger.
Without the mana of martial arts, a fairy’s fist was no better than a human child’s.
” Me? “
Who are you? It was the question Kyung-joon always heard in this world.
And Kyung-joon’s answer was always the same.
” I’m a student who studies. “
It was always consistent.
