I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

43 – Duel between Fire and Earth Elements

Flash-!

“- Suck!”

I stabbed the fireball that had come right in front of me with my sword.

Qua-…

When the sword containing the aura stabbed right into the center of the magic, the fireball disappeared leaving behind a weak explosion.

But I didn’t even pay attention and focused my attention on the door in front of me.

I must have opened the door to the classroom…. The scene across the door was a wide, wild wilderness with scattered dust.

‘… It’s a spatial ability.’

Although it is an extremely rare ability outside of Valhalla. It was one of the abilities that I was already familiar with since I came to the academy from the first day of being possessed.

As I comfortably stepped inside the door, I could feel the rough dirt on my shoes as well as the feeling of jumping into another space.

In my ear tapping the ground with my shoe. There was the sound of something exploding.

Kwaaang-! Quadduk-! Quagga River—!!!

When I turned my head and looked at the source of the sound, a fierce battle was going on.

In the middle of the wilderness, about two hundred meters away from where I am. The number of students, presumed to be our class, although a bit small, was fighting a melee with people wearing white lab coats worn by doctors.

“!”

“”

“!”

“”

Quaaa!!!

Every time the people in white waved their hands, countless magics were created in the air. Soon, it poured out, targeting the students.

More than dozens of arrows of flame flew, and a stream of water in the shape of a snake strangled the whole body. An opaque mace of wind was swung around, and a fist-shaped rock several times larger than an adult man was fired at the students.

“Damn it! Just hit the vital point and dig into it-!!!”

“Keep it off…! What is this! I can’t even move-!”

“aaa! How can I stop being invisible! …Kek!?”

“It’s an intermediate-level anti-magic technique!!! Avoid it—!!! Go to the corner—!!! ‘Kujik’ ─.”

“I, that bastard! What if I can’t avoid it if I tell you to avoid it!”

Class A’s students try to get in between the magic, and try to cancel the magic with a sword wrapped in an aura. I tried to resist in many ways.

Except for a few with exceptional skills, they were being pushed out unilaterally.

‘… Hmm. I don’t feel uncomfortable, so I don’t think it’s an attack from the Demonic Church…. Huh?’

Watching the aftermath of the flying magic. A gust of wind blew from somewhere.

-Kun Seonwoo! Welcome! It is this way! Come here!-

‘… Is this Professor Markard’s voice? … Indeed, is it transmission magic using the wind?’

When I turned my head and looked where the wind had blown, I could see a slightly tall hill.

Upon the hill, Professor Markard and his students could be seen watching the battle from within a translucent shield.

Whoops—

I got closer and looked closely at the shield. It was a wind barrier spinning at high speed.

‘… Hmm. This must be very strong.’

Even now, if I didn’t focus my aura on one point, it had such high defense that it would take quite some time to break it.

Kwaang-

In fact, sometimes blinding magic flies in, even though it hits the shield. There was not a single shake.

“Welcome! Seonwoo-kun! Hold on a second. I’m going to open a part of the shield now. …Hoy!”

Professor Markard snapped his fingers, and a gap was opened in the barrier, wide enough for one person to enter.

Unlike light actions, it was a skill that showed a high level of magic management ability that transformed the magic in use.

Wouldn’t it be difficult to follow at the level of first-year students?

With that thought in mind, I stepped into the gap.

“Sorry for the delay, Professor Markard.”

“hahahaha, it’s okay! I heard from the other classmates that Seonwoo went to see Professor Kasimes because he had something to do! Then, like the other students, observe the previous battle closely! Originally, Seonwoo-kun would fight over there as well. I have to, but I can’t help it!”

Professor Markard smiled at my apology and said it was okay.

… Come to think of it. Right now, only melee students were fighting outside the shield, and all students inside were magic students.

I took a light look at the students observing while sticking close to the shield. I didn’t see students of the close class like Nis, Ducca, or Shar.

‘… Ah. Miris and Krysia are over there.’

Both of them were closely observing the battle at the forefront of the defense.

I passed between the students and approached two of them.

“Miris, Krysia. Here you go.”

“…Ah! Are you here, Mr. Seonwoo?”

“Welcome~ Let’s go this way, this way.”

Miris greets me with a smile. Krysia pulled my arm and put me in the space between Miris and herself.

“Huheung…♪”

“…Come to think of it, Mr. Seonwoo. Where is Baegi…?”

Krysia clasped her arms tightly and let out a satisfied sound, and Miris unconsciously leaned against her and asked.

‘… I’ve thought about it a few times. These girls… The distance is not too close… ?’

Is the culture different because it is a fantasy world? I think the sense of distance will be ruined….

The soft touch and subtle scent of the two of them caused me a lot of anguish…. Thanks to Myung Kyung Ji Soo, it didn’t show on the outside.

After a moment of embarrassment, I opened Miris’ mouth to answer her question.

“Bai is sleeping now. He is still a child and sleeps a lot. Come on, look.”

I gently lifted her front pocket and showed it to Miris.

Inside it, Baek-i was sleeping soundly.

“Beep… Beep…”

Baek-i, who exhaled with his small beak slightly open, was very cute.

“……!!! Cute…!!!”

Miris covered her mouth with both of her hands, fearing that Baek-yi might wake up from sleep. Even so, her eyes were fixed on Baek Yi.

‘It’s not necessary because I blocked out the sound with the weak wind magic, but… Well, it’s because it’s cute.’

I didn’t tell Miris about it and asked Krysia, who was clinging to her arm.

“So, what happened? How did you suddenly start fighting?”

“Ah, that’s it~. Professor Markard came in with his teaching assistants, divided them into magic and other classes, and said this~. What did he say? ‘From now on, the first class of 1st year magic studies Traditional, surprise magic battle begins!’ I think he said~”

“Krisia is right. As soon as the professor finished speaking, the classroom turned into a wilderness… And the battle began.”

“Hmm…. There must be a reason why this is a tradition. What is it?”

“Whoops! Shall I tell you, Seonwoo-kun?”

“Professor Markard?”

After thinking about the meaning of this battle for a while, Professor Markard approached me and said with a smile.

“This magic battle has been established as a tradition of magic studies since 15 years ago! Its significance is to increase the concentration of students other than magic studies on magic studies!”

“A rise in concentration?”

“That’s right! I can see that students who have just entered the school lose their concentration when they are not in a field they are interested in! They understand the necessity with their heads, but it is not easy to put it into practice! Especially for those who are still young. I mean! … There are people who aren’t!”

Professor Markard had a point.

Even on the first day, there were some magic students who were dissatisfied with the fact that they had to learn melee combat.

“Still, the melee classes are not focused on magic… Even if you don’t use magic, there’s no harm in learning about magic. It’s useful when you encounter enemies who use magic! ─That’s how I started … It’s a surprise magic battle! It’s a direct hit against the enemy using magic! It’s actually a proven method that many people’s concentration increases after going through this battle!”

If you put it in modern times, wouldn’t it be like shooting a gun directly at someone who doesn’t realize the danger of a gun… ?

‘Of course, my concentration will increase!’

I looked at the students rolling everywhere with pity as they were hit and run by the teaching assistants’ magic.

“Still, this year is especially splendid! In an ordinary year, four or five teaching assistants would have been enough. This year, the level was so high that we called more than twice as many teaching assistants as in previous years! In particular, our lab boasts two aces. My name is there too!”

The place Professor Markard pointed to was an area further away from the place where the battle was taking place.

Kwaaang───!!!!!

The moment Professor Markard pointed over there.

With a loud explosion, a thick red liquid soared high into the sky.

The heat you feel the moment the liquid floats up. It was so hot that you could feel the heat even far away.

“That’s lava…?”

“Oh? You recognize it right away! It would be hard to see unless you are in the volcanic area! You are well-informed, Seonwoo-kun!”

I could feel Professor Markard’s admiration, but I was busy using To look over there.

The magic-enhanced eyesight magnified the distant scene as if adjusting the zoom of a camera.

Boogle-Boogle-

On top of the bubbling lava that slowly feeds on the rugged wilderness, gradually expanding its territory.

A man was standing barefoot.

“…….”

The man was a tall man with dark red hair swept back all back and eyes that looked ferocious like a beast.

Duk-duk-

He took off his shirt and showed off his muscles that looked so strong that it was hard to believe that he was a wizard. In his hand, lava hot enough to smoke was dripping down.

Aware that I was looking at him, Professor Marcard began to speak proudly of his man.

“That student is one of the aces that our lab is proud of, a duel of fire and earth attributes that uses lava magic. It’s Ravi Strayid!!!”
