I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

9 – Wind Attribute Magic Practice (2)

“Wind!”

“Wind Cutter!”

Wind property magic hit rocks everywhere.

Students pouring magic while being careful not to break the circular shape of the rock.

“I found it! First bead!”

“Good work, YuRia!”

Students concentrated on breaking the rocks, as just diligently searching for marbles helped to develop a sense of magic.

Eugene, who had just been asked, ‘Should I do it with a teacher?’ Had just come to her senses.

‘After. This dog-like rock.’

The cause was entirely provided by the previous owner of the body, but the rock seemed to hate it for no reason.

‘So I just need to find the marble, right?’

Even though he wasn’t particularly interested in wind magic, Eugene decided to do it with all his heart.

The other groups consisted of five or six people, so they were in a much worse position, but I had no intention of losing to them.

He put his hand on the rock, focused his mind, and channeled his mana.

The intention was to find the marble by spreading mana like a small stem into the rock.

This was possible because Eugene had talent in the three fields of swords, martial arts, and magic, and thanks to that, he was able to use magical powers excellently.

I wouldn’t know if the grade went up a little, but even Yerina couldn’t do it easily at the first grade level.

‘No!’

It wasn’t easy to explore the inside because the teacher had strengthened the entire rock with magical power.

‘Thinner! Thinner!’

Eugene gritted his teeth and made the mana stem as thin as a thread to explore the inside of the rock.

After grinding his teeth, he managed to locate all 15 marbles in the rock.

“Hoo-wook! Whoop!”

‘Such intensive training in the practice of wind attribute magic!’

Wiping off the sweat that flowed down like rain, Eugene slashed the rock and searched for the appropriate wind attribute magic in his head to find the orb.

‘This should be enough.’

Wind Blade.

It was a four-star magic that was difficult to use at the first year level, and it was a magic that created swords with wind.

Yujin drew mana from the danteon and materialized the sword in the image. A thin sword made of wind, it was optimized for finding marbles while cutting rocks.

‘No. I won’t be able to keep it for long, though.’

Because of his young age, his magic power itself was small, so he could only last for a few minutes at most.

‘Quick fight!’

In order to finish the fight in such a short amount of time, Eugene used a sword technique like rapid speed.

His sword cut through the rock, and dust and stones splattered. A high-level sword and wind merged, and a wave of wind bloomed.

If someone had seen it, it would have been a sight that would make them feel amazing even if they were not familiar with wind attribute magic, and if a person skilled in wind attribute magic had seen it, it would have opened their mouths wide at the high magic skill.

No one saw it.

Students were busy cutting down the rocks in front of them, and the student was passed out in the corner of the training ground because he used excessive mana.

‘Whether anyone sees it or not.’

Eugene put 15 black marbles down in front of a rock and crossed his arms. He said it was an assignment that didn’t even count for grades anyway, so there was no need for anyone to find out.

Eugene watched the other students.

*

“Ugh…… It’s hard.”

“The rock itself is too strong!”

Effortlessly letting go of the whining of the girls in her group, Yeri focused her gaze on the rock.

She was now rotting her head in front of the assignment.

‘There are 4 marbles found so far.’

Since there were still many intact parts of the rock, there must have been more hidden marbles.

However, it was not easy to find.

Every time he cut a rock, he had to use powerful wind-attribute magic thinly, which consumed a lot of mana.

If you knew the location of the marbles in the rock, you wouldn’t know.

Other than that, using magic to find the marble itself required a considerable level of difficulty.

In the end, I had no choice but to bite my teeth and focus more.

Ye-ri I continued her search for marbles, casting her magic with her gaze fixed on the rock.

I wonder if ten minutes have passed like that.

“I, I can’t do it anymore.”

“Give up, give up.”

“I ran out of mana.”

When the female students in the same group used up their magic and fell to the ground,

“Ha ha. Ha… ….”

Yerina let out a rough breath by herself.

‘I have found 12 so far.’

Yerina found 12 marbles. She was a great achievement, considering that the female students in her group were at one level alone, with no help.

Even her teachers would be amazed to know that she had made it this far at the first grade level.

‘At this rate, I’m sure I found the most, right?’

There were still a few places left on the rock to find marbles, but she didn’t have much magical power. She had to be exhausted all day after school to do her thing here, so it was wise to finish at this point.

‘There’s no way a group has found more marbles than this.’

Yeri I took her magical powers and looked around her.

As she expected, the progress of all her groups fell below hers.

7, 6, 4, 8…….

I couldn’t even see the group that had collected more than two digits of marbles. In the first place, all of her rocks were in much better condition than the one she was holding onto.

There was one exception, but it was the group to which Knox belonged to the famous white flower class of the royal school.

“Aagh! It’s annoying! Can’t we just break it down!”

“Be patient! Hang on, Knox!”

“It’s a waste of what I’ve done so far. Huh?”

“Aagh!”

To find the beads in the rock, it was important to use magic thinly and precisely, but that wouldn’t have suited the temper of a madman.

So even though the rock is on the verge of collapsing, there must be only 5 marbles found.

‘Knox is one of the best among first-year students in terms of magical power.’

I was branded as a problem child because I couldn’t control my fiery temper.

Anyway, I couldn’t overcome my temper and the future of blowing up rocks was clear.

‘Whatever.’

It was clear that Yerina found the most marbles.

In a task like this, it was funny to even discuss her family name, but it could be said that she had achieved results worthy of the continent’s greatest magical family.

“Look over there.”

“Isn’t that where you found 15 marbles?”

“How did you find 15 rocks when they are perfectly fine?”

Until she heard a strange hum from behind her.

“What… ….”

Yerina looked behind her.

There was a rock that she passed by because it looked so good. Behind him was Eugene, a man with arms folded and a relaxed look.

‘Eugene?’

From noble mtl dot com

Yerina’s eyebrows narrowed.

That rock was obviously taken by Eugene alone. So he must have found all 15 marbles lying next to the rock by himself.

‘Does that make sense?’

Yeri I didn’t turn her head well into a situation she couldn’t understand.

In her memory, Eugene was not a man who could do such a thing.

‘Did I cheat on something?’

Have you brought marbles from other groups?

‘No, it can’t be.’

No matter how eccentric Eugene was, he couldn’t do such a thing.

I couldn’t stand still when I saw other students take the beads, and what benefit would I have by doing such a thing in a test that had no involvement in grades in the first place?

It was true that Eugene had found all of those marbles, and there was no doubt about it.

‘No, then how?’

The question was, how did Eugene manage to do that? The question was, of course, of the kind that could not be resolved.

She would have understood immediately if she had seen Eugene’s process of finding her marbles, but she was also busy looking for her own marbles.

‘I have no choice but to ask later.’

Although it hurt her pride to ask her Eugene about something of her own, raising her own level of magic was more important than her pride.

Didn’t she get help with her magical understanding from him in the first place?

Even her broken watch is right once or twice, she passed it on thinking that Eugene, who talked a lot, gave her good advice by chance.

If today’s finding of marbles is entirely his skill, there is a need to ask and learn how he did it.

“aaa! I really can’t stand it anymore!”

“Be patient! Calm down! Knox!”

Since she was lost in her thoughts, Yerina couldn’t hear the loud noises around her.

“I don’t know! Break this rock!”

“Hey! What are you doing now What if you cast such a big magic…….”

Quaaang!

Yerin Behind me, Knox, a madman who lost her vase while wrestling with a rock, gathered all her mana and unfolded her magic.

“Da, shrapnel!”

“Damage!”

The magic shattered the rocks that were already on the verge of collapse.

Debris flew in all directions.

“Yerina! Damage!”

“Yerina! Look behind you!”

“…… What?”

And unfortunately, the biggest shrapnel came crashing down on Yerina.

When she noticed it and looked behind her, the debris was already close by.

“…… !”

I didn’t even have time to deploy my magic. Without even being able to chant, magic that could not become magic extended from her fingertips.

It was too weak to block the fragments.

‘Even if I noticed it a little earlier…… !’

There was almost no magic power left, but with time, I could easily break such fragments.

But the confirmation was too late.

‘This is…… I can’t avoid it.’

Yeri I closed her eyes tightly.

Paper weave

“…… ?”

She was waiting for terrible pain, but she didn’t feel it.

I could only hear the sound unique to her brain attribute magic.

When I opened my eyes, the fragments were shattered and flying away.

‘Did the teacher help me?’

Her head turned quickly.

It was impossible at the student level to provide help so quickly in this practice field.

If it is true that the teacher helped her, she should go and thank her.

If she was hit by that shrapnel she wouldn’t have gotten over with normal injuries.

‘He passed out?’

However, the teacher was still fainting.

Then who the heck?

When she came to her senses and looked around, the eyes of many students were directed to one place.

Naturally, her head turned to follow that gaze.

At the end of it, there was Yujin, who was standing with her arms folded just like before.

“What? Why? Have you ever seen magic?”

Why is everyone looking this way?

He had a grave face, as if he had no awareness of how great the work he had done.

*

After a while, the teacher wakes up and the class ends.

“Thank you. Thank you very much. I never thought that would have happened while I was down. If Yerina von Bliss had been injured, my neck wouldn’t have been stuck like it is now. Perhaps the head of the workplace is blown away, and the head of reality is also blown away.”

“No, what…… You fainted because of me, so you don’t have to thank me.”

“Oh no. Ah no What are you talking about! Eugene saved a student’s life. I will remember for the rest of my life. Really.”

“… ….”

Looking at the teacher who kept lowering his head, Yujin had a confused face.

‘I didn’t really do anything great.’

What’s so hard about breaking a piece?

I just thought it would hurt if I got hurt, so I skipped the chant saying it would leak me while watching other students sing it, and just blew a ray of brain-attribute magic.

In Eugene’s opinion, it wasn’t something he did to receive such gratitude.

“You can stop thanking me now. Will i go? I have to go back to class.”

“Ah yes, of course. In the future, if I come to this school as a teacher, I will do my best. Let’s see each other again.”

“Sure. Is it so.”

After that, after accepting her thank you several more times, Eugene was freed from her teacher.

‘I have to go to class quickly.’

Several minutes had already passed since class ended.

The other students should have already gone back to the classroom, but I was caught by the teacher alone and was doing it in the practice field…….

She had to go to class so she could finish her student day and leave school.

That’s how I was able to start individual training.

‘Today, it is most important for me to secure a lot of personal training time.’

After leaving her magic practice room, Eugene quickly headed to her classroom.

“Eugene, wait!”

She

She was headed.

‘Yerina?’

Yerina was waiting for him outside the magic lab.

“What happened?”

“I want to express my gratitude.”

“Ah…… It’s okay, I’m not hurt. I’ll go.”

“No, now, wait a minute, wait a minute!”

Her thank you was over, and as she was about to leave, Yerina grabbed the hem of her dress and stretched it out.

‘What is he doing?’

Yujin looked back at her with an absurd face.

“If it wasn’t for you, I could have been seriously hurt. I am the eldest daughter of the Duke of Berwood, and I can afford to properly repay those who helped me. Can you tell me if there is anything you want?”

“…… Do you mean no? You just said It’s okay because you’re not hurt.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t make me say the same thing again. Okay?”

Eugene was about to go again, but Yerina pulled her clothes harder.

“Oh, I see. I know you don’t need any help. Then I want to ask you one favor, please listen!”

‘No, what is this?’

You said you were going to leave without receiving anything in return.

Yujin was curious about what Yerina would say now, so she asked what the favor was.

“Hey, could you talk to me over a cup of tea tomorrow at a convenient time?”

There were several reasons for this request.

First of all, I was able to ask a natural question about how I accomplished today’s assignment. At the same time, she was able to find out the truth of the fact that Eugene had deployed her magic without a chant (which she had heard from other students).

She could even repay Eugene’s refusal.

As the eldest daughter of the continent’s most powerful magical ducal family, her connections were something everyone did not mind.

Of course, she did not intend to give only this. If Eugene wanted to, she could spill information that could help the fallen male writer financially.

‘In many ways, there is no reason to refuse.’

Yerina had no doubt that Eugene would accept this offer.

“Let’s have some tea?”

“Yes.”

“I hate it.”

“Okay. The time is convenient tomorrow, wait. Yes? You don’t like it?”

“Since it’s a request, I can refuse, right? I’m going.”

Her strength slipped from Yerina’s hand that held onto the hem of her dress.

She was dumbfounded at what the hell she had just been through, so she couldn’t say anything.

‘I refuse this…… ?’

Even the children of noble families, if they had a chance to drink tea with him, would jump in wearing tabi.

By the way.

The eldest son of a fallen baron refuses?

Really?

‘What the hell is this…….’

The absurdity that she is experiencing for the first time in her life, Yeri, I couldn’t tell if this was reality or a dream.

‘I’m sorry, but I want to avoid anything that interferes with my personal training.’

Of course, Eugene refused because of her own reasons.

He was obsessed with sword training, and wanted to avoid anything else that bothered him.

That job also included getting help from her own fallen family, just like Yerina thought.

He knew Eugene wasn’t an idiot, and she knew that Yerina could be of help in that way.

It was also true that receiving such help would instantly make her family somewhat more comfortable.

‘But there will be more things to do.’

Continuous exchanges will be created, and less time will be spent on personal training.

If Eugene’s own talent had been several orders of magnitude lower than it is now, Eugene would have accepted Yerina’s proposal without even thinking about it.

However,

‘My talent is not at that level.’

Eugene’s talent for swords pointed to more than that.

It is never too late to save her own situation and family even after becoming stronger.

Raising her self-worth was her top priority, and it was the most important thing.

“Goodbye guys.”

“See you tomorrow!”

“See you tomorrow, sir!”

As soon as the school day was over, Eugene left for personal training, and with his teeth clenched, he trained his sword and body.

And then, a week passed.
