The Only Male Student in the Academy

056. Inferior Marie (2)

My left ear is deaf.

Apparently, he lost hearing in one ear as a side effect of the partial gigantism potion.

But I can hear the sound, but I just can’t. It is not a symptom of dizziness.

Inconvenient, but still able to fight.

With that in mind, I watched Marie’s actions.

“.”

That was an unexpected action.

Even though I hadn’t attacked yet, Marie created an ice shield in front of her eyes and Marie spread her wings of flame.

“……No way.”

An ominous thought crosses my mind.

Marie rushed forward with In front.

‘… You didn’t do that in the original work.’

But again, it’s not a completely unseen technology. Hadn’t Marie done something similar the other day when she took down her golem.

Did you combine the two techniques by reviving the experience at that time?

The experience of going around the dungeon with me has changed even ‘Inferior Marie’ without knowing it, and it is stronger than the original.

But I was able to react.

From the moment Mari spread her wings, she expected it to be a charging egret. The question is how to respond.

The unfortunate thing is that the road is not very wide.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to evade sideways using mobility. It is also impossible to dodge by leaping due to the broken spider hand.

Then there is only one way.

There is no choice but to stop Marie from charging itself.

[Magic Engineering Tool: Magic Engineering Street Light]

Crafting Rating: 8

Attack Power: Low

: A street light that expands to 3m when installed. It has no special effect other than illuminating the surroundings.

This item will never be destroyed by external attacks. Also, it continues to exist in the same place until a ‘destruction order’ is issued.

—–

Immediately after installing a street lamp in front of my eyes, I took a big step back.

Bang! With a sound, the ice shield crashes into a street lamp, and Marie stops her charge.

Mari already understands about streetlights.

On the spot, he immediately breaks And converts to .

-Two da da da da da da da da da da!

Hailstones fly like machine guns.

I expected it, but the projectile speed was too fast to be directly affected by it.

Use your mobility to dodge them one by one, or if you feel like it’s not going to work, try to block them with your enlarged left arm.

While I was busy avoiding , Marie tried to create a fireball.

From noble mtl dot com

In this situation, a fireball attack is just as difficult.

With that in mind, I threw the water bomb with my empty right hand.

Fortunately, before the fireball was completed, the water bomb hit first.

Water pours down and catches Mari’s flames.

“…….”

But it didn’t seem like such a big blow.

The flames had only slightly faded, but Marie did not react. It must have been a shallow attack compared to Rose’s water elemental magic.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have increased my water attack.

Can’t help it even if you lament what you don’t have.

I set off a smoke grenade under my feet.

‘Marie has no sensing skills.’

I know very well what skills Mari has.

, , , , And . There are only 5 of these.

If Mari had the Sensing skill, she would have been active in the underground waterway a long time ago.

Marie would never have learned anything like .

When I think about it, a strange bitterness spreads.

I tried to ignore it and ran back.

It’s the same as not having a sensing skill, but I know Mari’s location very well.

Because it’s hot.

The flames burning Mari’s body can be felt from quite a distance.

So, I know roughly where Marie is, but she is completely unaware of my location.

“.”

When nothing was visible, Mari chose a wide-area skill.

Since they don’t know where I am, they’re just going to attack all at once in a wide area.

That attack made a lot of sense. Actually, I was within the scope of Mari’s .

At the same time, a breath of hot flame approaches.

Breath attack.

He was going to tie me to And shoot a flame breath in a wide range in that state.

Cold air blows in from behind,

The hot heat is transmitted in front of your eyes.

It was cold and hot and it wasn’t crazy,

If you use your huge left hand as a shield and block it, you can withstand it more than you think.

“.”

Mari’s breath attack allowed me to fully determine my position.

Leave it to your senses and shoot an arrow of fresh blood through the smoke.

-Pak!

A loud banging sound is heard in the distance.

It seemed that the attack was right.

But with that attack, Mari also confirmed my position.

Flew out of the smoke as if returning it.

“.”

Swing the sword with your right hand and hit .

At the same time, if I’m swinging my left hand, which has grown in size, Mari’s staff collides with it.

At some point, Marie Enga was right in front of her nose.

Possibly, after holding me in check with , He spread his wings and shortened the distance all at once.

After slicing her left arm off with her staff, Marie whips up a flame whip with her other hand and swings it.

‘This is something I didn’t do in the original work.’

But I have a guess. It’s a tactic I’ve shown Mari a few times.

When I was dealing with kobolds in the Blatta Dungeon, there were a few times when I used To keep them in check from a distance, then immediately drove them into close combat and defeated the monsters.

Close combat with Marie…… Basically unfavorable

Just being close to Marie was hot enough, and it was difficult to avoid an attack like a flame whip.

‘But if you leave it out.’

Originally, I would have an advantage over Mari in close-range combat.

Mari’s original job was a ranged nuke. She doesn’t have any skills that are advantageous for close combat.

Conversely, my strength and skill stats are far superior to Mari. On top of that, he has the close combat skill .

So, you just have to overcome the heat.

I dug in.

“……!”

Unexpectedly for Marie, she backed away.

The flame whip crashed into my body, but I gritted my teeth and met it.

Flame Whip is a mid-range attack rather than a melee attack. Because the range is slightly long, if the distance is reduced further, the attack becomes useless.

As Marie aims her wand, the flames attached to her body grow more and more.

The momentum of the flames grows and hinders my approach.

Burn damage continues to come in just by approaching.

With his right hand, he broke a potion bottle and sprayed it on her head.

As it is, swinging her huge left arm, I lunge at her Marie.

– Grasp!

Marie blocks her left fist within her for a moment with her cane.

However, due to the difference in strength, he was pushed out.

When she swung her huge left arm all the way, Marie flew away.

Immediately throws throwing weapons with her right hand.

-Pak! Grasp!

Marie, floating in the air, gets hit by my throwing weapons, and then rolls her to the ground.

But I got up again.

Spreading its wings, it immediately closed the distance,

At some point, he was holding my waist.

“Hey!”

Hot and painful.

Shock like being hit in the stomach with a bat.

But it doesn’t stop.

Marie grabbed me by the waist and pushed me forward until I hit the wall.

-Kwaang!

A big shock occurs on the back.

“Ugh, ah…”

I couldn’t breathe for a moment.

This must be how it feels to be hit by a truck and blown away.

An ominous sound came from the spine, and a pain as if the internal organs were twisted.

Still, the arm was moving.

As soon as I hit the wall, my right hand reflexively pointed at my bag,

Soon after, a water bomb explodes right in front of your eyes.

Even so, the water pressure bursts out from close range and beats the body.

The same goes for Marie.

A water bomb explodes at close range and is instantly pushed back.

“Heuk, oh my gosh…”

I barely managed to keep my hands on the wall.

He hasn’t died yet, and he hasn’t collapsed yet.

Her head is strangely cold.

‘… It is gradually reaching the limit.’

No, the body is already beyond its limits. It’s amazing to be standing there.

Perhaps it’s because Ariel is a character with a high vitality stat.

‘I can’t fight long anymore….’

Bones were broken here and there.

Perhaps because of the sudden change in temperature, the body also has a fever and the mind is about to become hazy.

Above all, the problem is the potion.

I’ve endured this far with potions, but those potions aren’t infinite.

I don’t know if I can open the warp gate and supply it.

Since the warp gate doesn’t open here, it can’t be supplied.

Pour the last potion into your mouth,

Right away I run backwards.

“…….”

Marie fires an At me as I run away.

You can predict from which direction they will come without looking. How many times have you seen Marie’s ?

She knows that Mari likes Among all the magic she handles, and also knows what trajectory she likes to shoot.

Twist your body at the right time to avoid it.

And if you look behind you, Marie is preparing to charge again.

It’s because it’s more than a certain distance from me. Mari’s magic didn’t have such a long range.

For me, it’s just fortunate.

If it started going in the opposite direction, Lucius and the others would be in danger.

Fire another smoke grenade to blind Marie.

There is one weakness in the charging pattern of inferior horses. She boasts great mobility, but the fact that she can only run in a straight line.

I could fully predict how Marie would rush.

Marie knows me just as well as I know her.

Therefore, it will surely rush towards where I am.

In that case, I would just use it backwards.

– Bang!

Marie’s head bumps.

On the street lights installed right after the smoke screen was set off.

I throw the bomb without missing the gap.

-Kwagagaga River!!

Countless bombs explode and flames hit Marie’s body.

But even this is nothing more than wasting time. It wouldn’t have done much damage.

In the meantime, I arrive at the end.

“Miss Ha… Is it blocked…”

I somehow reached the secret door.

However, the door that should have been open until I came in is firmly closed.

It’s obvious who did it.

Elpis Bamir must have closed it when he left this place.

I can’t.

I threw the Mountain Eater towards the secret door.

– Kwaaang!!

The wall that was tightly closed collapses, and fragments of stone hit me.

I pass the road while inhaling the dust through my nose and mouth.

The feeling of pressure that weighed down your body disappears and you can breathe freely.

It is a winning place.

And it only vaporizes once.

“Marie.”

I called that name.

Marie is approaching.

Do I want to see what I’m trying to do? Mary just walks slowly.

Marie also passed through the destroyed door and came out of the ‘disconnected space’.

The distance from each other is about 10m.

They stare at each other and confront each other.

“Let’s finish now.”

I took an item out of my bag.

Marie glared warily at the item I took out, but that wasn’t her goal right now.

I threw the bag side.

“……!”

It seems that he didn’t expect to throw the bag at all. Marie’s reaction was delayed by a beat.

Mari quickly deployed , But she was too hasty.

The bag I threw is not touching the ice shield.

From noble mtl dot com

It touches the ceiling.

This is a form of attack that Marie doesn’t know about.

Marie didn’t see the fight with Claire.

-Quaaang!

All the bombs in the bag exploded.

Countless falling rocks fall towards Mari.
