The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

36 – Combat practice class (2)

The combat practice class was placed at the end of the daily routine.

The idea was to learn magic in theory classes and then learn practical skills.

In addition, since taking a practical class requires a lot of physical strength, it was also necessary to allow students to rest after finishing the class.

Therefore, the students were somewhat close to each other. This was because we took classes and spent time traveling together.

-Wow, this place is really spacious.

-Uh, is there someone over there?

Once it was confirmed that someone not wearing a student uniform was standing, the whispering began to decrease.

“Are you here? Sit down.”

Ern pointed to the audience with a nod, and the students began to take their seats.

The silence that follows.

When the commotion stopped, Ern opened her mouth.

“Class A… Are they all here?”

She often thinks that when it comes to class A at the academy, not only the main character but also the heroine will all be there.

This was also true in this game, but not yet.

Currently placed randomly.

Dividing students into classes based on ability occurred after the midterm exam.

This system was a system that not only encouraged students to improve, but also increased player immersion.

If the player deserted too much and had their score deducted, or if they messed up the midterm and final exam quests, there was a possibility that the player would be placed in class B.

In that case, not only would the level of available party members drop, but there would also be setbacks in capturing the heroine.

Ern stood on the sparring hall and counted the number of students.

‘There is no main level.’

There were some familiar faces, but none of the students had a significant role in the original work.

“It looks like everyone is here. Then let’s start class.”

***

A rumor was wandering around the academy. Rumors about combat training classes.

The source of the rumor was the Class A students who returned to the dormitory in tatters.

-Why are you looking like that?

-Gyo, the professor is crazy….

-Be careful. First impression was okay… There is a devil hiding behind that face.

-???

-You… Don’t take combat training classes….

-What do you mean, it’s a required class?

At first, it was dismissed as a mere rumor. It was because of the influence of my seniors.

-You’ve been practicing combat since first grade? We don’t do that either?

-This is a new professor? In fact, the more you do that, the easier the class becomes. Wouldn’t it be a rumor?

-What kind of battle is it for kids who are only now starting to learn elemental magic properly? There’s too much fuss.

However, the rumors were suppressed for only one day. New victims had appeared.

-Class A guys…. What on earth happened….

-Class C, welcome back. Why are you so sore this evening?

-….

The story that was floating around began to become more concrete.

Therefore, Class B, which was about to take combat practice class today, was bound to be the most sensitive to the rumor.

Lia thought while eating with her friends.

‘… ‘Do you really think so?’

There was no need to explain that there were many descendants of nobles in the academy.

That may have been the case up to that point, but Lia was surprised to hear that there was a princess among her classmates.

‘Probably not.’

Surely I can make a princess?

Leah concluded that no, and she began to focus on the quality of her fork.

‘Anyway, it’s delicious.’

These days, Leah was living a life where she only looked forward to meal times.

‘It’s at least the size of a lizard skewer, or better….’

The reputation of being the best educational institution in the kingdom was not a lie!

‘It would be nice if I could continue attending the academy… ‘I won’t do it.’

If I wanted to remain in Kagon, I had no choice but to become a graduate student, but no matter how much I thought about it, that wasn’t a good idea.

-Oh my, look at that person.

-What is it? Are you a friend from Class C who came from combat practice?

-No… That’s a graduate student!

‘… ‘I need to graduate from Cal.’

Lia’s goal was to become a great wizard, and after she graduated from the academy, she would work for a high salary.

‘I need to save some money…’ .’

But she needed money to graduate.

If you save money on maintaining your dignity, study hard, and get a scholarship, you may be able to attend school, but you never know what a person’s future will be.

She was thinking of setting up a slush fund.

But because it is the beginning of the semester, she has not yet been given permission to go out.

‘I need to look into something like a professor’s assistant position.’

She was Lia, rutting and thinking.

***

Ern found the students hesitating at the entrance to the sparring hall.

“Class B, right?”

“…Yes.”

“You’ve come to the right place, so come on in.”

The students came in at a slow pace.

-You are young.

-You’re handsome?

-That person said that??

They came in slowly, whispering to each other so that Ern could not hear.

“We’re not there yet.”

Ern didn’t count her. She could tell right away simply because the white hair, which should have been particularly noticeable, was not visible.

“Now, the kids who came earlier are sitting in the stands over there-“

“Mr. Ern?!”

At the sound of someone being startled at the entrance, the attention of everyone in the sparring hall turned towards that.

-?

-Who is it?

-That sounds familiar?

The students thought that a fellow professor had come to visit him. But he was a familiar classmate standing there.

-Liane??

-Did you just call the professor ‘Mr.’?

-That….

-Did our class get its first demerit point?

Students were slowly learning the virtues of equality and learning. The aristocratic friends who were being robbed began to appear one by one.

One of the important elements of the school rules was to establish a clear hierarchical relationship between professors and students.

This was a measure to allow professors to fully concentrate on education.

If teaching is disrupted due to fear of a student’s status or background, the overall academic atmosphere will be ruined.

And that was an act that would soon damage the reputation of the #1 Magic Academy.

There were a few students who felt dissatisfied with that, but they did not show their dissatisfaction openly.

This was because Class D’s first princess, Arestia Elundis, was also obediently following.

It was not a rumor that the King supported the philosophy of the Kagon Academy.

The Lord of Elundis says he will acknowledge it, so what kind of noble would raise an objection?

In that sense, what Lia did was… It could be said to be quite bold.

“……”

When Lia sensed her strange aura, she began to break into a cold sweat.

‘Why is Mr. Ern here…? .’

He was clearly an adventurer of a similar level. An adventurer who is also quite bad at using magic!

Lia’s eyes rolled around.

Ern was standing alone, and his friends were sitting somewhat in front of him. Then he looked at Ern and himself alternately with interested eyes.

‘No way… No way….’

Lia’s mouth dropped with difficulty.

“Gyo, professor…?”

“…Okay. Please sit down so class can begin.”

‘It’s ruined!!’

Leah lowered her head and walked quickly to find her seat.

When Lia sat down, her friend who was sitting next to her widened the distance between her and her.

“!?”

“……”

Leah looked at her with a sense of betrayal. Her friend slightly looked away.

We ate together earlier!

“It looks like everyone is here. Then let’s start class.”

‘Are you just going to overlook it because it was a mistake?!’

Just as Lia was about to reassure herself, Ern spoke to her.

“Oh, Ria, please stay after class.”

“Yes…”

Ern cleared her voice and asked a question.

“A student here who knows how magic is used in actual battles?”

Some students raised their hands. After Erne nominated her, an announcement followed.

“Assistance to the front line.”

“Disables enemies with powerful firepower.”

“Reduce the number of enemies with sniping.”

Ern nodded her head and listened to the students’ answers.

“That’s right. Casting multiple magics from the rear is a standard tactic these days. It can even be said to be standard.”

It was common sense to people in this world.

I thought the role of a wizard was typical of ‘party play’.

The problem was that common sense would break down sooner or later.

‘Especially with these people, the situation is different.’

Kagon Academy is the background of the main story. Ultimately, these students were to be affected directly or indirectly.

I had to prepare thoroughly somehow.

“…Then, have you ever experienced a magic battle here?”

The number of students involved was just a handful, including Lia.

“I can say it’s excellent…So far.”

Students raised question marks.

“The history of magic is the history of progress. Magic science has never stopped developing. This also applies to combat.”

Still a puzzling face.

“Like it or not, war also progresses. A few hundred years ago, kingdoms would have fired magic missiles at each other at most, but now high-ranking magic comes and goes like greetings.”

A brief history of magic quickly emerged. It was something I knew as the setting of the game.

“Similarly, the wizard you think of today would have been praised as a great wizard a few hundred years ago. But now? What about the future?”

-……

Students are troubled. It meant that persuasion was working little by little.

“In the future, the capabilities required for wizards will gradually change. And in this class, I will help you prepare for that future.”

Ern opened the box that was placed in the sparring room.

“Most people will be familiar with magic combat in theory. Of course, there are students who have first-hand experience. But I can say this for sure…”

They were concentrating on Ern without taking their eyes off him.

“I assure you, you do not know what ‘real’ magic combat is.”

Ern said, putting the magic sparring protection device on her arm.

“Today I will show you what real combat is.”
