636.

Lil charged forward at tremendous speed.

A massive steel spike that erupted from the ground struck at the charging Lil.

Crack-!

The sharp tip of the spike crumpled and shattered into pieces.

However, Lil, gripping the battle hammer, showed no signs of slowing down.

“It’s not working!”

“Uaaahhh!”

“Block it! Block it somehow!”

The Magic Studies Department students screamed.

The Knight Department students who had rashly tried to block Lil had long since been sent flying by Lil’s hammer.

At that moment, one of the Knight Department students raised a large, thick shield and blocked Lil’s path.

“Ooh!”

“It’s Lex!”

Lex Stoner.

A student with excellent grades in the 3rd year Knight Department.

His biggest characteristic was being a typical vanguard.

His mobility was slow and his attacks were simple.

However, his defense could be called the best among the 3rd year Knight Department.

He was literally the man with the greatest defensive power among the 3rd years.

The number one priority for mages wanting to recruit into their party!

That Lex, with his solid presence, stood in Lil’s way.

“I am Lex Stoner! I will stake my life to defend this position!”

“Wow! Cool! Lex! I’ll date you later!”

“Get lost, you bastard!”

Lex barked fiercely and slammed his shield into the ground while watching Lil charge toward him.

Thud-!

“Hup!”

With his shield planted in the ground, Lex charged forward.

Lil swung the hammer toward Lex’s shield.

Crash-! Thump! Rumble-!

The hammer and shield collided, producing a tremendous sound.

The ground Lex was standing on caved in with a thump!

The surrounding area cracked from the aftershock.

“He blocked it!”

“That’s our Lex!”

“Of course! Lex can even withstand attacks from Selia and Duran!”

Having no means of attack, his win rate in duels was lacking compared to top-tier students.

However, when it came to the mission of blocking attacks, no one could match Lex.

Feeling the force transmitted through his shield, Lex said confidently.

“Senior! Further advance is impossible…”

Crash-!

Lil’s follow-up attack continued.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!

“Gaahhh?!”

Tremendously heavy and powerful attacks continued in succession.

Lex’s body, letting out a cry of shock, began to sink into the ground.

Crash! Crack-!

When Lex’s body was completely buried in the ground except for his shield, Lil struck the shield with all her might as a finishing blow.

Lex, embedded in the ground like a nail, fainted from the impact.

Judged as combat incapacitated, Lex was immediately teleported away.

Certainly, Lil’s single strike was somewhat lacking compared to Selia and Duran’s single strikes.

The problem was that those attacks continued in tremendous rapid succession.

Having rendered Lex combat incapacitated, Lil charged forward once again.

“What is this! It’s not even a tank!”

The 3rd years screamed.

Every time Lil’s hammer swung, 3rd years went flying in all directions.

What blocked Lil’s unstoppable momentum was none other than Woreden.

Grab-!

Lil’s hammer was caught by Woreden’s arm.

The two Spirit Mages engaged in a contest of strength.

“Indeed…”

Woreden clicked his tongue.

“There was a reason you’re called a monster.”

“Woreden’s a monster too!”

“Then it’s a monster battle!”

“That’s not how you address a senior!”

Lil glared and pushed against Woreden.

Whoosh-!

“Woreden. Hold on tight!”

Selia aimed at Lil from above and swung her sword.

Seeing this, Lil shook off Woreden.

And kicked off the ground to avoid Selia’s attack.

“Too late!”

Crash-!

The flame aura struck Lil.

However, before the flame aura could reach her, Lil accelerated at tremendous speed and dodged the attack.

“So fast?!”

Selia was startled by the speed that far exceeded expectations.

At that moment.

Whoosh-!

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.

“Ice World.”

Crack-!

As Chloe’s spell was completed, tremendous cold struck Lil.

Freeze-!

Without time to react, Lil was trapped in ice.

“As expected of Chloe.”

Nella admired while treating the injured.

Until now, the 3rd years had been building a defensive formation to block Lil who was targeting Chloe.

“We should be the ones chasing, but instead we’re being chased. It seems we underestimated our senior too much.”

Chloe said while breaking out in a cold sweat.

In fact, she couldn’t draw out maximum power.

Lil’s momentum was so strong that if she had taken more time, the magic wouldn’t have been completed before reaching her.

“She completely saw through us.”

Chloe shook her head while recalling Lil’s movements.

Though it looked like mindless charging, Lil had thoroughly exploited each of the 3rd years’ weaknesses.

It would have been impossible without having the characteristics of all the 3rd years memorized in her head.

“We definitely need to learn from that…”

Crack-!

When Selia agreed with Chloe’s words, the ice trapping Lil began to crack.

The faces of the third-years who saw this hardened stiffly.

Crack-!

Lil broke out of the ice and threw her battle hammer straight toward the sky.

Whirrrrr-!

The third-years were shocked as they watched Lil glare at the sky.

“Attack power, speed, and even defense? There are no openings?”

“We have no choice but to overwhelm with numbers!”

“At least she doesn’t have a weapon right now!”

“Did you say no weapon?”

Lil grinned wickedly.

“For a Spirit Mage, the most powerful weapons are spirits, you know?”

Having lost her weapon, Lil began summoning spirits.

Lil looked at the third-years who were staring at her in shock and said firmly.

“It’s not over yet.”

***

“Great! I got her… Whaaaaat?!”

Iliana, who had caught up to Elena from behind while moving at tremendous speed, cried out in triumph.

At that moment, she had no choice but to back away in terror as Lil’s battle hammer passed right in front of her nose at a frightening speed.

And in that split second.

Swoooosh-!

Clank-! Clank-!

“Iliana!”

Chains of light made of mana wrapped around and caught both of Iliana’s wrists and ankles.

“Owowowowowow!”

Iliana screamed as the force pulled at both her arms and legs.

When Chelsea tried to approach to save Iliana, chains of light poured out from the magic circle.

Chelsea clicked her tongue and dodged the iron chains.

Iliana, who had been screaming, made a tearful face as she saw the staff thrust right in front of her nose.

“Please spare me just once.”

“No.”

Flash-!

Enormous mana swirled from the tip of Elena’s staff as she spoke firmly.

Iliana, who was judged unable to continue fighting, was teleported away.

A terrifying gale whirled around Elena.

Whoooooosh-!

Elena narrowed her eyes as she watched the gale closing in on her, and mana swirled around her body.

Whoooooosh-! Boom-!

“She canceled out brother’s magic with pure force?!”

Chelsea made a shocked expression.

“You know what?”

“…!”

At the voice from behind, Chelsea felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

“Who’s been the best at pure mana in Lumern?”

When Chelsea turned around, there was Elena sitting cross-legged, looking down at Chelsea with a relaxed expression.

“It’s been me since five years ago.”

Elena smiled brightly.

There was another modifier that symbolized Elena, who was called the Queen of Lumern.

Laziness.

She was always insincere and had no interest in Academy classes.

She was the strongest in her grade with just her given talent and quickly reached the top ranks in the Academy.

Elena began putting in effort after Leo became Student Council President.

Flash-! Crackle-!

Whoosh-!

Duran and Eliza appeared on both sides of Elena.

Those facing Elena in the air had only one purpose.

To keep Elena in check so she couldn’t use wide-area magic.

That’s why students with quick mobility coordinated their breathing.

Chelsea, Duran, Eliza, Iliana.

And Avad as the mage.

Cards to keep Elena in check and subdue her in the air.

“The combination wasn’t bad.”

Elena, who had done a short-range warp, gently twirled her hair with her fingertips.

“If you had watched me and Lil as much as you watched Leo, it would have been your victory. But…”

Elena smiled slyly.

“You guys. Were we even in your consideration?”

“…”

No one answered that sharp question.

“Lil and I have been watching you since your first year. So we know you well. Your fighting methods and habits, what your strengths and weaknesses are.”

Elena continued speaking while gently twirling her hair.

“How much we can endure your attacks. How we can win. We naturally came up with strategies to that extent.”

Elena, who had removed her hand from her hair, made a bored expression.

“It’s not that you looked down on us. I know you respected us and treated us as seniors. But…”

Elena narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Have you ever thought about surpassing us even once?”

“…”

“Have you ever thought about catching up to us?”

Elena smiled coldly as she looked at the juniors who couldn’t answer.

“We’re your seniors. Let me make this clear on this occasion.”

Elena raised her right hand with her index finger pointed above her head.

“We’re not beings who follow Leo together with you. We’re ahead of you… beings you need to catch up to.”

Roooooar-!

A sphere of flame blazed at Elena’s fingertips as if a small sun had been created.

“When did she cast such magic?”

“Silent casting?!”

Elena smiled brightly as she looked at her shocked juniors.

“It’s nothing special. It’s multi-casting.”

“You could complete such magic with multi-casting?”

When Chelsea asked in shock, Elena shrugged her shoulders.

“I could?”

Certainly, the third-years had never properly looked at Elena and Lil.

Because there was Leo, such a dazzling goal in the same grade.

How amazing Elena’s mana and genius were.

Why Lil was called a monster by graduates and called a flawless, perfect Spirit Mage.

They had just thought, “I guess that’s how it is since they’re called that.”

And the price for that was devastating.

Elena and Lil, who had properly observed the third-years.

The third-years who had only looked at Leo.

The result of a fight between those who were properly prepared and those who weren’t was obvious.

Before unleashing her magic, Elena said to Chelsea.

“You’re not the only ones chosen by the Hero of the Beginning.”

Chelsea’s eyes widened greatly.

Flash—!

KWAAAAAAAANG—!

As the magic was unleashed, everyone except Elena was swept up in the spell.

Screams erupted from here and there.

Watching this scene, Elena spoke indifferently.

“It would have been dangerous if only Cal or Sia were here.”

Elena chuckled as she thought of Cal, the commander, or the cautious Chen Xia.

“Our professors are strict too.”

Then a resentful cry was heard.

“Elena-senpai! Why me toooooo!”

“You don’t fall down from just this much, do you?”

“That’s too meaaaan!”

Lil’s scream echoed through the air.

***

Whoosh—!

“Over there! They went that way!”

“Catch them! Quickly!”

“What are the Knight Department students doing!”

“Why are you ordering us around!”

At the shouts coming from behind, Cal poked his head out from the thicket.

“As expected, they’re freshmen so it’s easy!”

Cal, who had camouflaged himself by sticking thicket branches in his headband, grinned wickedly as he threw on his invisibility cloak.

And after waiting for the Knight Department students to pass by, when the Magic Department juniors following behind passed next to him.

“Peekaboo?”

“Gasp! Cal-senpai is here…”

Swoosh—!

Cal threw the long potion bottles on his fingers at the Magic Department students.

KWAAAAAAAAANG—!

“Wahahahaha! Easy! So easy! Chasing after me just because I ran away! And since you figured I was easy prey, you even gave me individual plays!”

Cal burst into laughter watching the Magic Department students get caught in the explosion and receive combat incapacitation judgments.

“Over there!”

When the Knight Department students at the front came chasing after Cal in a hurry, Cal grinned wickedly.

“Friends with really~ poor learning ability!”

Cal pulled out a crystal orb from his chest and pressed it with his finger.

KWAAAAANG—!

“Aaaahhh!”

“It’s a trap!”

An explosion occurred on the path the Knight Department students had passed without suspicion.

“There was a loud noise over there!”

“Eek. Let’s run.”

Cal, who had devastated the party, quickly ran away at the sound coming from afar.

Watching such Cal, one male Knight Department student muttered.

“Co, cowardly…”

“Where’s there room for cowardly or whatever in Lumern! Survival is the truth!”
