I Killed the Academy Player

Chapter 18

Hunting Ground (3)

Marie walked through the dense forest jumping and jumping as if playing.

Like a freshman just entering school, the place where the lively steps arrive is the real freshmen who are scattered around.

“Ugh…”

“Huh, waist…”

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

It was a polite question, but the answer Marie expected came back.

“yes······.”

Rather than being sick, it’s a dejected voice. They probably didn’t even know that the gap would be this big.

The genius wizard, Marie Dunareff. The official guardian rank of 1st grade was not obtained through form.

From noble mtl dot com

“I’ll take care of you this time, so let’s work hard?”

“Ugh… yes.”

“That’s right! I struggled like you last year too! I’ll do better next time!”

Marie didn’t take off the freshman’s epaulet, who had lost the will to fight, and stroked his hair before turning his back.

“How can it be done with only beginner magic…”

More than 10 classmates were scattered around the astonished freshman.

“Hmm~ As expected, freshmen are brave. But…”

There are no kids like him.

Marie blushed as she remembered the impressionable freshman boy. If it were that boy, would you not give up and fight to the end?

“It’s difficult~ Then I don’t think it will be easy to subdue it.”

Shall we run into the boy in this practice? The probability wouldn’t be very high, but if I did run into it… just imagining it made my heart pound.

– Basasak!

It was then. A tree trunk protruded from the floor and wrapped around Marie’s ankles and wrists.

“I was caught off guard!”

The protagonist of the voice is a girl with fresh green hair. The girl pointed an old-fashioned staff that looked like tangled tree trunks to Marie.

“Forest spirits, help me!”

Small lights popping out here and there at the girl’s request.

They are naturally occurring spirits in the vast forest of Hunting Grounds. Seeing him voluntarily step out without any contract, Marie smiled.

“Are you that freshman druid?”

The tree trunk was moved secretly without Marie noticing, and at one word of request, the spirits of the lofty forest appeared without delay.

A druid blessed by the forest. It is no exaggeration to say that this is her domain.

“Surrender. There is no chance in the woods.”

Marie understood that confidence as she looked at the dozens of spirits surrounding her.

Druids are naturally spirit friendly. It is because the time of the secular world is not affected and the mind is stained with nature.

A powerful spirit sorcerer who is naturally helped by the forest spirit without a separate contract. In addition, the life force overflowing in the forest also became the strength of the druids.

“I’m Marie. Marie Dunareff. What about your juniors?”

“······Uel. This is Yuel from Avelorn Forest.”

“Yes, Yuel. But I also have the pride of a senior, so I won’t be able to surrender.”

“It’s not convincing by the appearance of being caught, right?”

“this?”

Marie let out a relaxed smile as she looked at the tree trunks holding her hands and ankles. He even gave me strength.

– Crisp! Crispy!

“I’m sorry tree?”

When Marie gives strength, the stems tear like paper. Yuel’s eyelids flickered quickly as he let go of the restraint so easily.

“Uh, how!”

“Eh~ I’m the eldest daughter of a farmer! I’m confident in my strength!”

-Winning an arm wrestling contest and receiving a bull?

“It’s not the level of a farmer’s strength!”

It was said that he moved only the bare minimum to move stealthily, but that a magician, not a knight, broke the bondage with brute force… Yuel was dumbfounded, but still believed in his superiority.

“You know the power of the forest spirits, right? It’s in conflict with my senior, who is a water magician.”

“Well, eh~ is that so?”

– Papa Pang!

A waterball that shoots in an instant. It’s a beginner magic, so it doesn’t have much killing power, but it has enough physical suppression power.

“Spirits.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuel communicated with the spirits with only her voice and asked for their help.

The forest fairies moved the giant trees they nested in and in an instant built a wall of large tree trunks, and the water bodies couldn’t penetrate it.

“Hmm~”

The drenched tree trunk soon went into the ground. As if retaliation for Marie’s surprise attack, Yuel processes green magic.

“Bloom flowers, O life.”

A huge flower bud that blooms from the ground.

As it blooms, what is revealed is not beautiful petals, but ugly insectivores.

“Ugh…”

Marie stuck out her tongue at that hideous figure, but did not lose sight of it.

‘It’s not a creature of this forest. In other words, it’s not a creature that was grown by infusing mana into the real thing.’

A magical creature created with pure magic. When that conclusion was reached, the insectivorous creatures born to eat something were shot at Marie.

– Jageuljageul!

Insectivorous creatures that open and close their hideous teeth as if they were going to eat even the air in the air. Marie raised her staff and deployed the water bullets. They intercepted the insectivores.

– Jageuljageul!

Water bullets and insectivores collided head-on. With the physical power of water bullets, the insectivorous creatures would be easily shot down. However, an unexpected turn of events took place.

– Iron puck!

“huh?”

Even though the insectivore creatures hit directly with the water bullets, they didn’t bounce off at all and rather grew in size.

‘Aha~ You’re eating magic power?’

– Right!

When Marie snapped her fingers, water droplets formed in the air and swelled up in an instant. Its size is similar to that of a water bullet, but the magic power inside it is more than that.

“Water bomb.”

– Quaang!

A large water bomb exploded in the air. The aftermath swept away the rushing insectivores with a shockwave and bounced them in all directions.

“Chit…!”

Clever and quick to judge. Really first class.

Analyzing the opponent’s actions and interpreting the spell to respond is the basis of a battle mage.

Marie is a magician who has attained the first rank as a battle mage.

‘But still, I have the upper hand in the forest. I can’t lose here!’

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuel tapped the ground with his staff and responded to the earth.

As long as these forest spirits stand by her side, the trees of the forest and the earth will move at her will.

“Drenched, right? Even underground.”

“yes···?”

-Chwaaaaagh!

In an instant, snowflakes bloomed in all directions centered on Marie. Insectivores pushed out by the water bomb froze, and ice instantly formed where the water splashed. in other words······.

-Kugugung!

The ground rises suddenly. The dirt floor is bouncing and shaking here and there. As if there was a sudden expansion.

“What?”

Tree trunks in the ground do not respond to Yuel’s response. Yuel was taken aback at the first time.

“Didn’t the wet tree trunk go into the ground? I froze it.”

“This, what is this…”

“You can’t limit the use of magic to the wizard’s main attribute. There is alchemy magic that converts attribute magic into other attributes.”

Marie Dunaref’s specialty magic is general magic that encompasses water attributes.

Alchemy magic is more applied here and freezes the moisture created in the aftermath of the magic.

Because the tree trunk that blocked Marie’s bullets was put back into the ground, it froze in the ground.

“Not yet…! I still have spirits!”

As Yuel said, the spirits of the forest floating in the air are fine. They seemed very angry at the rude man who froze the ground.

“I’m sorry, but I think something more sorry will happen. I’m going to explode a water bomb.”

“Number bomb? Just that much…”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuel inadvertently looked at the staff Marie had raised. Then, he noticed that unusual magical energy was pointing into the air, and his gaze naturally turned upward.

“ah······.”

A huge glob of water was bubbling.

water bomb.

It is a beginner-level magic that explodes and scatters a mass of water that has formed a shape with magical heat. Its power is, at best, a level that is fortunate enough to destroy a young tree with a shockwave.

Since it’s a beginner magic, it shouldn’t be that powerful.

“Water bomb.”

-Quaaaaaaang!!

Huge water bombs pouring down. The water bomb, which has grown to a terrible size, becomes a huge bomb that sweeps the entire area——

“Hey, Spirit!”

Spirits responding to the desperate Druid’s emotions. They also became contemplative and moved all the giant trees in the forest to protect Yuel. however······.

“Bam ah~”

-Koo-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

It was a meaningless resistance in the face of an overwhelming natural disaster.

* * * *

A scene of great destruction, as if a bombing had occurred.

The huge water bomb that blew away part of the hunting ground signaled Marie’s landslide victory.

The high school students who participated in this practice were not allowed to use even intermediate magic other than defense magic, but this power. This is because of Marie’s characteristics.

Originally, the fraudulent characteristic of amplifying the power of magic, which has a limit in power according to the formula, was definitely an ability suitable for a boss character.

A special express that cannot be attacked alone. A hidden character created to form a party and attack.

There will be only one student in the first year who can face Marie Dunareff head-on.

“Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, are you okay? I’m sorry! Yuel is so strong that I couldn’t help myself…! Did you get hurt a lot?”

“eww······.”

Seeing the restless senior, Yuel sighed in despair.

This water-colored girl was friendly to everyone with her easy-going and warm smile.

A gentle and peace-loving girl who has no ill will towards the other person. However, on the other side of it, the evil side of being a first-class battle mage is hidden.

In reality, this girl would have a lovely and easy-going personality. A good-natured person who is friendly and kind to everyone.

Even in the Druid tribe, which was a narrow society, there was a tribe member who formed a close relationship with everyone.

A person who is kind and builds good relationships with everyone, but is ruthless in his actions.

“Ugh…”

“Uh, where did you break it? Shall I salivate?”

“Would that be better…?”

“Kkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhu with With with with respect to it! I also fell while spraying water while riding a wyvern before and broke my leg——”

Is this strange toughness like an environmental buff given to children of farming families?

I can not know. The Sabah world is full of things that are unknown in both cities and rural areas.

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yuel had to receive intense worry and encouragement from Marie until she was led out of the forest by the rescue team that had come to escort the injured.

“Umm… Did you just use amplification? But it wasn’t an opponent you could win with only beginner magic without amplification…”

Marie shifted her gaze as if in trouble. Towards another student who had been gazing at him from before.

“Hello? I’m Marie. What’s your name?”

The red gaze crossed the golden one.

* * * *

In front of the hut, the goal point. There was a huge golem standing in front of it.

“······Sorry, first place is mine.”

First year named Golem Master Cranel Luden. One of the player’s initial party members, excluding Hwaran.

The guy was holding out in front of the hut and sweeping away the students who were coming.

“Ha… what day is it today? Why do second-class people appear in front of me?”

‘Seeing that they came so quickly, did they make a golemma and run right away? Are you going to lay down in front of the cabin in advance?’

I was determined to catch Arisya, but it was Cranel after Doron. It’s like dealing with three out of four named players in one day.

In the game, it was not easy to do infinite retries, but in real life, it was easy to do this.

“Did you collect a lot of epaulettes?

“How are you? Yes, among the 2nd class, you’re second only to Arisha, right? I’ll destroy that proud golem right now.”

······

············

······

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Golem.

An old siege technique that has been passed down from ancient times.

A gigantic siege weapon created by a magician’s magic formula centering on the core.

Humans have been using golems since ancient times because they can produce destructive power that can even destroy a castle wall if there are enough materials and magical power.

The fact that the golem is treated as a siege weapon means that it is as powerful as it is, but it also has fatal flaws.

That stout colossus is slow, slow, slow.

– Bang!

“Keah…!”

Cranel fell out of the collapsing golem, unable to maintain its shape.

I pass through the ruined golem leaving only dust and debris and thrust a spear into its neck.

“Golems are no different from being big targets against miniaturized, high-powered weapons. If it were me, I would have gotten a friend to escort them.”

“······doesn’t exist.”

“huh?”

“I don’t have friends…”

“Ah… sorry about that.”

“nice······.”

When he fell from the collapsed golem, Cranel let out a painful moan as if his shoulder was dislocated.

“Stay still.”

“What?”

– Beep!

“Keep it…?!”

A scream erupted from his mouth as he hit the dislocated bone. Intelligent wizards aren’t used to suffering, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

“Am I the overwhelming number one with this?”
