320

Gooooooo-!

Watching Leo emit gray mana, Duran tightened his grip on his sword.

‘The three of us… attack together?’

Duran’s eyes narrowed.

‘Prove that we’re qualified to stand on the same stage as him?’

It was incomprehensible words.

But this one fact was certain.

‘He’s going to test me… test us. Leo Flobe.’

From the moment of enrollment, Duran had disliked Leo.

It was natural since the one who became class representative, beating all the formidable candidates including himself, was someone unheard of.

But it was literally an instant before the guy he thought was beneath him became a goal to chase.

When he came to his senses, he could see Leo’s back getting farther away no matter how frantically he ran.

Until his fingers were crushed. Until his arms fell off.

He swung his sword frantically, again and again.

He achieved remarkable growth accordingly, but there was no sign of catching up.

Stubbornness and obsession were unleashed.

Without giving up, he threw himself into training frantically to catch up to Leo Flobe.

Crackle-!

An ominous golden current flowed from Duran’s body.

“Woreden Taiden, Eliza Herginn.”

Duran looked back at the two with eyes flashing golden light.

“Don’t interfere.”

Leaving those words, Duran stood before Leo.

Crackle-

An ominous current swirled.

Whooom-!

Gray aura appeared on Leo’s sword.

Seeing this, Duran narrowed his eyes.

‘Leo Flobe, I know that you sometimes use gray aura instead of Jerdinger’s flame aura.’

He recalled Leo using gray aura several times.

‘If Jerdinger’s flame specializes in attack power… that bastard’s gray aura is a balanced type, excellent in both offense and defense overall.’

His swordsmanship was also much more stable when using gray aura.

Duran knew.

That Leo’s statement to attack together as three was absolutely not empty words or recklessness.

That it was words coming from having that much confidence.

That’s why this situation was even more irritating.

‘Your gaze has always been annoying, Leo Flobe.’

Golden sparks flew from Duran’s eyes.

‘That gaze of yours that looks only at distant places, paying no attention to anything else.’

Duran also knew.

Not just Duran, but everyone chasing Leo knew.

That the place Leo was looking at was somewhere far away.

A distant place they couldn’t see.

Duran had seized everything through skill since childhood.

Kingdom of Moira.

Though he seemed to live without want as a prince of a nation called the Knight Kingdom, bloody effort was needed to obtain the crown prince position.

He earned fame worthy of his grandfather who founded the kingdom.

Though he obtained the crown prince position as the third prince, he tried to develop even more powerful abilities to gain more.

Only the strong were given such qualifications.

That’s why Duran acknowledged Leo.

As a strong person, it was natural in a way to pay no attention to his peers.

But…

‘The rising anger was unavoidable.’

In such a situation, Leo looked back at them for the first time.

And said he would test them.

He couldn’t understand the intention.

But…

‘I won’t go along with your wishes.’

Even if he fought one-on-one now and got miserably crushed.

Duran vowed he would absolutely not attack according to Leo’s wishes.

Watching such Duran, Leo chuckled.

Crackle-!

Duran’s eyes widened seeing the gray current that instantly appeared on Leo’s sword.

“You bastard…”

As Duran’s face contorted, Leo lowered his stance.

Flash-!

Leo charged toward Duran at tremendous speed.

Along with gray lightning, gray sparks embroidered the path Leo ran.

Clang-!

Crackle crackle crackle!

Bzzt-!

Golden and gray lightning collided, destroying everything around.

Leo’s mana characteristic was pure.

It was the ability to freely handle all attributes without specializing in one.

Clang! Clang!

The crossed swords competed in strength.

Screech-! Thud-!

Duran was pushed back, his soles digging into the ground.

Terrifying strength.

Duran was taller and bigger in build.

But in pure physical strength, the strongest among 2nd years was none other than Leo.

Duran hardened his face and put strength into his sword to shake off Leo.

Crackle-!

At the same time, he summoned a greatsword in his other hand not holding the sword.

Whoooosh-! Bzzt-!

The greatsword imbued with lightning aura was swung with murderous momentum.

Swoosh-!

The sword swung at lightning speed cut through the air.

Duran’s eyes turned toward Leo who had landed on the greatsword.

‘I expected it!’

Just as Duran, who had anticipated Leo’s movement, was about to inject aura into the longsword in his other hand.

Crackle!

“Urgh?!”

The gray aura extending from Leo’s hand instantly paralyzed Duran’s body.

“Kah!”

Duran let out a battle cry and shook off Leo’s gray aura wrapping his body.

Flash! Crack crack crack-!

Lightning instantly swirled around Duran’s entire vicinity.

Thud-!

But Leo escaped from Duran’s aura range at tremendous speed.

“Leo… Flobe!”

Duran tried to chase after Leo.

But while lightning’s power was formidable, in terms of speed, Leo had the upper hand over Duran.

Leo easily overtook Duran and charged at Woreden and Eliza.

“If you three won’t attack together, I’ll force you to attack together.”

Seeing this, Woreden summoned a spirit.

Spirit Armored.

The highest-level spirit technique that arms the body with spirits.

Seeing this, Leo extended his hand.

A summoned lower-grade water spirit formed in Leo’s hand.

The same Spirit Armored.

But Woreden wasn’t flustered.

He didn’t think Leo couldn’t do what he could do.

Woreden took a stance as if loading, ready to swing his fist.

Crackle—!

Leo’s gray lightning, enhanced in power by water, raged even more wildly.

As Woreden swung his fist, Leo also threw his punch.

Boom—! Crash—!

Fist met fist, and the surrounding area was devastated.

Woreden’s body, armored with earth spirits, firmly withstood Leo’s attack.

Leo looked at Woreden and raised his sword.

“…!”

The sword was faster than Woreden could harden his face and step back.

Slash—!

Leo’s sword left a long sword wound on Woreden’s body.

But he didn’t receive a death judgment.

The powerful defense of Spirit Armored had protected Woreden.

But it was enough to make Woreden step back.

“Leo Flobe!”

Before he knew it, Duran had pursued him all the way to Leo’s back.

Seeing Duran, Leo kicked off the ground.

Crackle—!

Leo’s final destination was Eliza.

Eliza hardened her face and raised her spiritual power.

Whoosh—!

A Wind Wyvern summoned in an instant carried Eliza and flew up into the sky in a flash.

“Hmm.”

Leo lightly exhaled and swung his sword at Duran, who was targeting his back.

Before he knew it, Woreden was also targeting Leo’s back alongside him.

Flash—! Crash—

Leo’s sword emitted a gray flash.

Clang—!

Duran quickly defended with his sword.

Slash—!

But he couldn’t defend against all the attacks and allowed sword wounds.

Duran’s face contorted.

‘The swordsmanship…!’

It was different from Leo’s usual swordsmanship.

The sword was imbued with killing intent and was much sharper.

Duran created distance.

Woreden, who had forcibly penetrated his guard, used his heavy body to ram into Leo.

Crash—!

With a loud noise, Leo was sent flying.

An impact like a massive cannonball striking.

Crash—! Splash—!

The flying Leo crashed straight into the waterside.

Water shot up toward the sky.

Bubble bubble bubble—

Leo, who had fallen into the water, narrowed his eyes.

A dolphin caught Leo’s eye.

Delpinus.

It was Eliza’s magical beast, known as the highest-grade water magical beast.

Delpinus began circling around Leo.

The speed gradually increased, and a whirlpool was created.

Roar—!

A waterspout was generated.

“If you want to face the three of us simultaneously that badly, then prepare yourself! Leo Flobe!”

Eliza growled with a fierce voice.

Crackle—!

Duran raised his great sword.

Flash! Boom—!

Lightning struck down onto Duran’s sword.

A massive golden sword the size of the waterspout was created.

Splash—!

Woreden summoned water spirits to create a spear of enormous size.

The Wind Wyvern that Eliza rode opened its mouth wide.

A powerful wind breath was generated in its mouth.

Flash—!

Whoosh—!

Swoosh—!

The three people’s attacks poured down on Leo trapped in the waterspout.

Seeing this, Leo raised his magical power.

Flash—!

Boom—! Rumble—!

The waterspout that had swelled up in an instant disappeared as if exploding.

Lake water fell over the surrounding area as if rain were falling.

The lightning aura that tried to cut Leo.

The water spear that tried to pierce Leo.

The wind breath that tried to blow Leo away.

They all disappeared as if they had never existed.

Leo wiped the blood flowing from his mouth and raised his head.

Seeing this, the three people felt a thrill run through their entire bodies.

For an instant, Leo’s pupils flashed black before returning to red.

***

“What just happened?”

“How did he eliminate the attacks?”

Murmuring voices could be heard from the spectator stands.

The freshmen also showed confused expressions.

“H-how did that happen? It was clearly magic.”

Juwen looked as if he couldn’t understand what was happening.

It was a moment of confusion.

“That’s Dragon Language magic.”

Mel smiled and explained to the freshman Magic Studies students.

At that, all the students’ eyes widened in shock.

“Dragon Language magic?”

“Dragon Language magic can only be used if you understand the Dragon Language!”

The students showed surprised expressions at the mention of Dragon Language magic, which was unique to dragons.

“Yes. You all know well that it’s magic you can use only if you understand the Dragon Language, right?”

The problem was that understanding the Dragon Language wasn’t easy.

In some ways, it was magic as difficult as ‘Star Magic’.

While the freshmen wore shocked expressions, Mel looked at the screen.

‘Lord Risinass’s unique magic, Nihil.’

It was defensive magic that reduced everything to nothingness.

‘He’s really fighting seriously against the second years.’

***

‘I won’t be able to use magic for a while.’

Using Nihil just now had overloaded his mana circuits.

‘I can handle Duran and Woreden. But….’

Leo’s gaze turned to Eliza.

Currently, the most troublesome opponent to face was Eliza.

No, in a one-against-many fight, an excellent summoner like Eliza was the most troublesome enemy.

Thanks to her powerful summons, her firepower rivaled that of a mage.

On top of that, what made a beast summoner special was their ability to support the frontline fighters.

That’s why the greatest threat in this situation was none other than Eliza.

Whoosh—!

Leo called for Fiora.

Fiora gracefully perched on Leo’s forearm.

“Fiora, keep Eliza in check.”

“Chirp.”

Swoosh—!

Fiora, who had been flapping her wings gracefully, flew fiercely toward Eliza.

Seeing this, Eliza gripped her whip with a snap!

‘Facing Woreden and Duran without your Phoenix would be difficult even for you, wouldn’t it?’

Eliza’s eyes, which had been narrowed as she looked at Leo, wavered for a moment.

Whooom—!

A summoning circle appeared above Leo’s palm.

And the moment she confirmed the pattern of the summoning circle.

Eliza’s eyes filled with shock.

As a beast summoner, she couldn’t help but recognize that pattern.

The summon that pattern symbolized was none other than.

‘A Fairy…?!’

In an instant, a noble silver light spread from Leo’s palm.

Along with it, a being with a noble bearing revealed itself.

The Fairy, Kirran, appeared.
