Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

52 – Priest Strike

[This, what is this? The 2nd year representative, Urharion, was knocked out by Gran’s first attack!]

The winner is Gran, the 1st year priest.

It was rare for a freshman to win an academy competition. Even if it is said that a great genius entered as a freshman, it is because there are already similar geniuses in the school. First of all, since he was also taking the academy training course, it was difficult to beat his seniors unless he was a genius.

Of course, there were often freshmen who beat their seniors. However, Gran was the only one who defeated his senior in a single blow.

Even Shuina, who everyone calls her the winner, surprised her seniors with her monstrous skills during her freshman year, but she couldn’t win in a single blow.

“That’s a lie, right? No way…. That druid friend was careless.”

“One blow… ? No blade, no blunt weapon, just that staff?”

“It looked heavy, but…. Doesn’t this make sense?”

“Hey…. Any second graders nearby? Wasn’t that druid lucky enough to come up this time?”

It was a conversation between 3rd grade students.

They couldn’t believe it. He defeated the 2nd year representative in a single blow.

The 2nd year representative couldn’t win with ordinary 3rd year students. If you show your pride as a senior, it is possible to hold on for a while, but it is impossible to win.

Because he defeated such an opponent in one blow with his job as a priest, without any special skills, and with a bladeless staff as a weapon, it was unacceptable.

Those who were more shocked than the 3rd year students were the 2nd year students. They knew Urharion’s skills.

Even if he hadn’t fought Urharion, his skills could be measured as being in the same grade.

“He must have been a monster…. I was expecting Urharion to beat Shuina….”

“Whoa, was it a bit up and down?”

“I told you about the preliminaries. This guy is never a guy to be underestimated. Not to mention nervous, my personality was so dirty that I was never a guy who looked after anyone. It’s also obsessive.”

“But why….”

“Well, that first grader is really a monster. Like Shuina-senpai, who is called the best in the academy.”

“Does that make sense? There were even rumors that Shuina-senpai was the next hero.”

“Now I don’t know. Just…. Suddenly, I lose some energy.”

There were people who intuited Gran’s skills and were happier than anyone else when everyone was in despair.

It was Gran’s classmates.

“Gran! Gran! Gran!”

They shouted at Gran to break his throat. I was happy that Gran, my classmate, had beaten my senior, but I also felt like the despair I had heard while fighting Gran was relieved, albeit a little.

I always had doubts after fighting Gran.

To think such a strong person is a freshman.

If I thought there were people stronger than Gran in the world, I couldn’t help but doubt myself. He said that this road he was walking on was wrong.

But now I’m convinced.

There was no need to shrink compared to Gran from the beginning. He’s just a monster no one can beat.

There was a person shouting Gran’s name with excitement until his face turned red.

That’s Arnes Ulcron.

He was the first student defeated by Gran in an official confrontation. Now he was one of the people who were most delighted with Gran’s victory.

“Graaan! Kill them all!”

He shouted loudly as his face turned red.

And at this moment when everyone was surprised, there were those who watched Gran with cold eyes, Shuina Hern, who was called a genius, and Deian, a warlock.

Shuina Hern watched Gran’s match in the waiting room. He looked closely to analyze Urharion’s skills. She didn’t even think that Gran would win.

Moreover, I couldn’t even analyze Gran’s skills. For he had slain a druid in one blow.

Shuina felt her heartbeat speed up little by little. She felt like a stranger. Shuina opened and closed her fists and repeated. I could feel her palms getting a little damp.

Gran left the arena and headed straight to the waiting room. The match to determine the next opponent has begun. It was a match between 2nd and 3rd grade.

The athlete is a 3rd year magic swordsman, Rune Bernetto.

2Nd year assassin, Dyke.

After a fierce battle between the two, 3rd year magician Rune Bernetto won.

The next match was between 4th year wizard Ronald Hand and 3rd year warrior Lokhan.

The third match ended with the victory of the warrior Lokhan.

The 4th match was played by Shuina Hern, the winner for the second year in a row. The opponent was Arci Edriano, a 4th grade shooter.

The result was obvious. The winner was Shuina Hern. She ended the game on her 4th strike.

Gran, who watched the match, nodded his head in satisfaction.

The second match of Gran finally started. The opponent is Rune Bernetto, a 3rd year magic swordsman.

“If I win again, I really have no choice but to admit it.”

“No, if I win with one blow this time, I can win Shuina too, right?”

“Haa…. I guess I was just lucky. And surely that Shuina will lose? He’s hard to catch with her eyes.”

“Well, it’s really fast. Her knight teachers are also embarrassed by Shuina. Looking at that, Shuina is really amazing. She must still be practicing?”

“He’s a real venom. But Rune is also a genius. I hope Rune can overcome that cheeky freshman.”

“All the guys who entered the competition are geniuses.”

Gran entered the arena.

Then, Rune Bernetto entered while shaking his body, as if to say that he was relaxed.

Gran looked at Rune Bernetto bluntly. I’ve seen his battles before. He was a magic swordsman with good skills. In particular, the magic attack with a wide range was fine, and it was a tricky skill.

Of course, if Gran didn’t have the ability to recover.

“Hey, freshmen. I watched the game. Are you strong? Then take care of yourself.”

He said with a smirk in his voice. The narrowed eyes scanned the arena and Gran’s body.

He stood on his feet and waited for the game to begin.

[The match starts!]

The game started with a booming sound.

Rune kicked off at the start of the game. A red light glowed from his sword, and as he swung the sword, flames spewed out and flew towards Gran.

It was a magic powerful enough to devour the entire arena. The heat of the flame magic was intense. The heat was enough to cause burns, but it didn’t work on Gran.

In order to defeat Gran, it is more effective to defeat him at once rather than inflict continuous damage.

Rune’s flames could not defeat Gran. This is because when the skin is damaged by the hot flame, the surrounding skin is restored with divine power faster than that.

Rune intended to finish off Gran with the first attack. He too was watching Gran’s match with his own eyes. He swung his staff and struck down the bear-turned-druid in one blow.

It was a shocking force.

No, I didn’t know exactly how strong Gran was.

I couldn’t decide if I really took down the druid with a ridiculously powerful blow, or if the druid was weaker than I thought.

From noble mtl dot com

Even if the druids had a bubble, you still have to be careful. What’s more, Rune didn’t even think that he would have stronger defense than a druid who fell in one blow.

But I wondered if the priest really had any defense even if he had powerful attack power.

So Rune decided to put everything on his first attack. He avoids the threatening Priest’s attacks and at the same time finds the Priest’s weakness.

If this attack doesn’t work….

Simple. Admit defeat.

I did not do my best to exhaust the enemy’s physical strength or inflict damage. It was an attack to end Gran only once and for all.

Gran was engulfed in flames. The hot flame burns undiminished.

Rune didn’t stop his sword. He let the flames go and let them go again.

A man walks out of the red flames. He walked through the flames as casually as through his fog. Eventually, Gran will appear.

The inside of the stadium, which had been cluttered, became quiet.

“… He was a real monster.”

Rune collected the flames and aimed his sword at Gran.

Quaaang!

Gran kicked the floor. He quickly closed his distance.

Booooong.

As Gran turned his staff, a wind rose around him.

Rune’s body stiffened. The sound of the cane cutting through the huge body and the air was so horrifying.

He saw the future in an instant. If you hit that staff directly, your head will explode. Without even a trace.

It had to be blocked or avoided.

However, the frightened energy stiffened my body.

Puuu!

“Keah uh uh uh uh!”

Rune’s body flew backwards quickly. He only looks at Gran, who is getting farther away with his two eyes that are gradually getting darker.

The winner is Gran, the 1st year priest.

He didn’t wield a cane.

It was because there was no defense from Rune. If I had just hit him on the head, there would have been an uproar by now. With her cane, Huri instead kicked him hard in the chest. The cracks may have gone, but life will not be affected.

“No, what another blow….”

“What the hell is going on? Is that kid student right? Strange no matter how you look at it? Actually, isn’t the first attack a special move or something?”

“How did you survive that magic? I could feel the heat all the way here.”

“That’s it. I thought my face was burning…. He seems to be finer.”

“This is enough… ?”

“What?”

“That freshman defeating Shuina.”

The students nodded their heads in approval.
