I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

55 – What’s the result?

Kwaguagaga River——!!!

Even now, 10 minutes after the battle began

Mistiltane’s magic poured down endlessly on the arena.

‘─Nonsense!!!! Does that guy’s magic know no bounds?!’

Gapera was barely able to block the endless magic, but her face gradually turned white.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use ‘Penalty Window’ without any ‘penalty’! It would be difficult even for a high-ranking mage of the Mage Tower to maintain that level of offensiveness!!!’

A high-end magic tool? A gift that specializes in mana recovery or mana saving? Or a lineage function of an aristocratic family?

Numerous cases passed through Gapera’s mind….

‘… The remaining magic power is about 40% of the total… ! If your mana drops by more than this, you can’t do anything and lose… !!!’

What is certain now is that his chances of winning are rapidly disappearing as time goes by.

‘… Then. Now is the time to make a bet… !!!’

Gapera, who decided that he had to bet on the game now, hardened his expression,

Among the defense magic he can use, he casts the best defense magic.

“Extreme Heat Barrier”!!!”

──Quaaa!!!

As soon as the magic was activated, a wall of ultra-high temperature flames rose in front of Gapera.

Chiik——!!!

For ordinary people, the heat is enough to burn your entire body in an instant, even if you are several meters away.

Quaaa!!!

Incoming fireballs were eaten back by walls of flame, spears of water evaporated, blades of wind were caught up in high-temperature updrafts, and large rocks melted in an instant.

‘However, the duration of this magic is only a few seconds… !’

If the extreme heat barrier disappears, you will be exposed to that magical storm again.

So Gapera did not waste this golden time protected by the wall of flame.

‘… Big!!! After this, I’ll be sick for a few days… !!!’

Wheeining—!

Gapera forcibly absorbs the firearm extracted from the jewel attached to the end of his staff, the ‘attribute stone’ created by accidental coalescence of the firepower of the scorching zone,

Temporarily forcibly ‘raised’ her own attribute titration.

“……Huh!!!”

Fast-!

Gapera gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his mana load heating up from the intense fire.

Gapera, who temporarily reached the level of a high-ranking magician, poured all his remaining magic power into one high-level magic.

“──「Rainy Bird」!!!”

Roaring——!!!

The ultra-high-temperature yellow flame that erupted from Gapera’s staff took the form of a large bird.

Flutter-!

It fluttered straight ahead and shot forward.

Quaaa!!!

Like a salmon running up a river, a very salty bird that approaches Misteltein while reversing the torrent of magic pouring in.

“…….”

Mistiltane quietly stared at such a flame bird…

Sug-

Suddenly, the use of magic was ‘stopped’.

“…What?! …This, oh my! It’s dangerous!!!”

Leaving behind Gapera, who was startled by Misteltein’s sudden action.

Kirururook—!!!

Rejoicing that his encumbering magic was gone, the flamebird accelerated by flapping its wings even faster.

“…….”

──Kwaaang!!!!!

I collided head-on with Misteltein.

Roaring——!!!!!!

A long sword that could reach the ceiling of the arena, a pillar of flame soaring high wrapped around Mistiltein and burned brilliantly.

“Oh no…! To stop using magic all of a sudden! Why did you do that…!!!”

Gapera took into account that Mistiltein’s magic was offset to some extent by his own magic.

He used the best fire magic available to him without hesitation….

Suddenly giving up resistance and accepting advanced magic without any resistance did not count.

“……Hot!”

Looking at the pillar of flame with a devastated face, he raised his head

I urgently called Kitrin, the receptionist who supervised the promotion test.

“…Kitrin!!! Hurry up! Bring me the best recovery potion I have in my storage!!! Hurry up!!! A wizard of that level should have high magic resistance! It wouldn’t have been an instant death…! !! It might still be possible to save that young man…!!!”

Gapera, who had exhausted all of his magic power, barely stood up while picking up the ground with his staff, and hurriedly asked Kitrin….

“…….”

Kitrin just blankly stared at the pillar of flame.

“…What are you doing?! Hurry up, get the potion…!!!”

“…No. I don’t think I need a potion… Look at that, Gapera-sama…”

“……What?”

Kitrin points at the slowly dying flames with his finger.

Involuntarily, Gapera, seeing where the finger was pointing, involuntarily opened his mouth wide.

Rest…

Slowly shrinking in size, but still in a roaring pillar of flame…

Turbuck-Turbuck-

Mistil Thein, ‘without a single wound’, brushed off her robe and walked out of the fire calmly.

Turb-Turb-

Tak-

As if being hit directly by magic was a hallucination

Mistiltein stopped in front of the two people who approached casually and opened their eyes wide.

“…So, what about the results of this test?”

“……Heh heh.”

Not intentionally… To the young man who calmly asks about the result even after using her own best magic properly.

What can Gapera say after bursting into laughter without even realizing it… There was only one.

“…Of course I passed. Such an outrageous guy…”

******

“Here it is, Mr. Misteltein. This is a mercenary plaque that proves that you are a gold-grade mercenary.”

Saying that, Kitrin handed over a hexagonal gold plaque the size of the palm of her hand.

At the top of the gold plaque was a small crystal ball.

Under it, the name ‘Mistiltane’ was written in luxurious handwriting.

“……Hmm.”

After receiving the gold plaque from Kitrin, Mistiltein looked at the mercenary plaque once.

Took-

“…I’ll just go”

I casually put it into my bosom, turned around, and left the arena.

Tak-!

“…….”

In the arena that became quiet as Mistiltein closed the door and left, the sound of the old man’s pain resounded.

“…Keep! Hey, Kitrin. Would you like to help me…?”

“…Ah. Yes! Gapera-sama!”

When Gafera, who was barely standing relying on the staff, asked for it, Kitrin hurriedly approached and helped the old man.

“Hmm. Thank you.”

“No, what! You helped me a lot when I reached platinum status, but this is nothing!”

“…Crap. You’re talking about years ago. That was an old man’s whim.”

“But thanks to that whim, I got to platinum safely! I’m always grateful!”

“…Hmph. Now, even if I try to flatter the withered old man, there is nothing.”

As if he wasn’t in a bad mood after saying that, Gapera’s mouth went up.

“Oops! You still corrected it!”

“It’s flattering! …By the way, is it time for me to retire too…”

Gapera spoke softly, looking at the door Mistiltein had left.

“Ah~ Are you saying that you lost to a talented young wizard right now? Even if people around you say that you were late in learning magic, that old man who persisted in learning magic and reached the level of a superman in his 60s?”

Kitrin spoke in a slightly provocative way to cheer Gapera, who looked a little dispirited, but….

From noble mtl dot com

“…Yes. To think that I couldn’t bring out the true skills of that young mercenary, no matter how much I do, I feel a bit embarrassed…”

“…Eh.”

After hearing Gapera’s absurd words, he made a strange noise without realizing it.

“…So. That wasn’t the skill you saw?”

“Yes, of course. Because, that guy hasn’t moved ‘one step’ from that spot since the battle started.”

“…Huh? Come to think of it, …really?!”

Let Gapera point to the spot where Misteltein was standing, where traces of the Pillar of Flame remain.

Kitrin pondered the battle and realized that Mistil Thein had been there since the battle began, and she was startled.

“That’s not all. I didn’t know it during the battle, but after I hit the vital point with the arrow of water, I didn’t purposely target my magic. After that, as if I was just checking my abilities, I used as many different types of magic as possible. It was just poured all at once.”

“…Isn’t it just that it was difficult to control magic because I used a lot of magic at once…?”

Kitrin, who only knew a little about magic, said so…

Gapera sneered and denied Kitrin’s words.

“In a situation where you can’t even see right in front of your eyes because of the fog, you can accurately sense the unfinished magic of a place hundreds of meters away and destroy it with a single arrow of water. That monstrous scab like that? That’s absurd. !”

“…….”

Kitrin kept her mouth shut, and Gapera also shut her mouth and fell into thought.

‘… Anyway, something big will happen in these years. In my experience, whenever a monster like that appears, something happens to the continent….’

It was a kind of premonition that Gapera naturally acquired while living as a mercenary for a long time.

***

After returning from the mercenary guild to my residence, I laid down on the bed and organized the events of the day.

‘Hmm. I also gained a new identity, which was my purpose. I also tried to use attribute magic that I had only learned and never used before. And… ‘

I looked down with satisfaction at the dark black robe I was wearing.

‘The performance test of ‘this’ was also successful.’

I grabbed the tip of my robe and gave a command to myself.

‘Change.’

Shrulook─

As I commanded it, the robe, which was large enough to completely cover the two-meter body,

After swirling and condensing into one point,

Took-

It turned into an enchanting, jet-black jewel brooch.

This is the most valuable thing I have right now….

It is an ‘S+’ grade item.
