724.

Nine Magic Studies Department students, excluding Risinass, were wary of Chen Xia.

Chen Xia looked relaxed as she watched the Magic Studies Department students.

“What’s with that face that shows no tension at all? Are you saying you can take us all on by yourself or what?”

When Ellig, a third-year Magic Studies student, furrowed his brow, Avad shook his head.

“That can’t be. She’s probably just checking our positions and planning to retreat. It seems like she came for reconnaissance.”

“I suppose so. But for reconnaissance, wouldn’t Iliana Raden be more suitable? She’s the fastest among the Knight Department students.”

Chelsea, who had her arms crossed, answered Ellig’s comment.

“Do you think that idiot could handle the difficult task of reconnaissance?”

“What’s so difficult about reconnaissance?”

“It’s difficult for that idiot.”

Chelsea spoke mercilessly.

While several people nodded in agreement.

“It seems like you’re the ones who look relaxed, not me.”

When Chen Xia smiled and spoke, Ellig said.

“If you had come secretly, that would be one thing. But now that you’ve been caught, retreating won’t be easy either.”

Ellig drew his staff and aimed it at Chen Xia.

“Even in terrain like this where concealment is easy!”

Rumble rumble rumble—!

The trees around Chen Xia attacked her as if they had their own will.

“Wow, as expected of Ellig. You display tremendous power in the forest.”

Chen Xia exclaimed in admiration.

Ellig Tuna.

As a master of plant magic, he uses powerful magic in forests.

While he had the disadvantage of drastically reduced combat ability outside of forests, his forest combat ability alone was enough to rank him among the top five in the third-year Magic Studies Department.

Chen Xia stepped lightly with aura steps.

As if she had become flowing water.

Chen Xia tried to escape from Ellig’s attack range while dodging the tree roots that surged forward to catch her.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Ellig unleashed his magical power.

Then an even greater number of tree roots sprouted from the ground.

At that moment—

Flash—!

Crackle!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

When Chen Xia flicked her hand, sharp ice blades flew toward Ellig.

“Gah?!”

Ellig was startled and stumbled backward, falling on his bottom.

A wall of ice had been erected in front of Ellig before he knew it.

Seeing this, Chen Xia furrowed her brow.

‘It’s not Chelsea… but Chloe?’

She had expected her attack wouldn’t get through.

But she thought Chelsea, who specialized in high-speed casting, would be the one to block her attack.

Chelsea, who had also reacted quickly to Chen Xia’s attack, looked at Risinass with surprised eyes for responding even faster than herself.

Risinass had been continuously watching Chen Xia from earlier.

The moment their eyes met.

Chen Xia felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

Without hesitation, she disappeared into the darkness of the thicket.

‘Sharp instincts, that child.’

Risinass smiled and began to move.

“Chloe, where are you going by yourself?”

One of her classmates grabbed Risinass’s shoulder with a puzzled expression.

At that moment.

Crackle—

“Eek?!”

He gasped and removed his hand from Chloe’s shoulder.

The moment he grabbed Chloe, tremendous cold had swept through.

At that moment.

Chelsea’s eyes suddenly changed.

Swish—! Swoosh—!

Chelsea’s staff touched Risinass’s throat.

Avad had also summoned his staff and was aiming at Chloe’s back.

“What are you doing?”

“Who are you?”

“I thought something was strange since this morning.”

Chelsea asked in a sharp voice, and Avad nodded as if he had expected this.

The atmosphere among the Magic Studies Department students also changed at the siblings’ reaction.

Seeing this, Risinass asked with a curious expression.

“How do you all become so perceptive?”

“You should try being tormented by Leo too. You’d become quite sharp.”

Creep creep—

“Chelsea! Get back!”

“…!”

Avad shouted urgently, and Chelsea also flinched and distanced herself from Risinass.

Before they knew it, Chelsea and Avad’s feet were trapped by black shadows.

“What is this?”

Chelsea, who had escaped from the shadow’s range, looked at Risinass in shock.

Avad’s face hardened.

“Are you in disguise?”

Risinass smiled at those words and extended her hand.

Crackle—! Crack—!

Risinass crushed the ice fragment that bloomed from her palm and dropped it on the ground.

Crack crack crack! Creak! Crack! Crackle!

The ice fragment that fell to the ground grew larger and began to take shape.

Eventually, an ice doll identical to Chloe was created.

It was an ice clone, one of Chloe’s specialties.

“Please.”

At Risinass’s words, the ice clone nodded.

Risinass turned around and pursued Chen Xia.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

The moment Ellig began to deploy his magic.

“Ice World.”

Crack crack crack crack crack—!

As the ice clone chanted, a tremendous cold wave swept through.

Startled, Avad used protective magic, creating a wind barrier to push away the cold wind.

The wind barrier that protected the nine Magic Studies Department students disappeared when the cold wave subsided.

Everyone’s jaws dropped when they saw the landscape that had become an ice forest.

“What the hell! Could Chloe cast such powerful magic?!”

“No way! It’s obviously a spy pretending to be Chloe!”

The Magic Studies Department students were wary of the ice clone.

Those who know Chloe’s magical abilities best are naturally her classmates from the Magic Studies Department.

Everyone knew of her overwhelming magical prowess, but this far exceeded the level that the Magic Studies students were familiar with.

She merely took on Chloe’s appearance and used magic similar to what Chloe would use.

The being before their eyes was completely different from Chloe Muller.

“Stop pretending to be Chloe and reveal yourself!”

Chelsea pointed her staff and shouted angrily.

At that, the ice clone covered its mouth and burst into laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

At Avad’s question, the ice clone, who had been laughing until tears formed, wiped the corners of its eyes.

Small ice particles scattered.

“Sorry. Sorry. I just thought kids are the same whether it’s the past or now.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s true that I’m not Chloe, but this power belongs to Chloe.”

Risinass smiled faintly.

“That doesn’t make any sense…”

“You just don’t know.”

Risinass looked at each of the Magic Studies students’ faces one by one.

“How amazing your potential is. How strong you can become if you properly use your power.”

Whoooosh—!

A cold wind began to blow with Risinass at the center.

At that ominous sight, Avad’s face hardened.

“What are you scheming?”

“Scheming.”

The ice clone smiled faintly.

“Leo Flobe.”

“Leo?”

“That bastard. I’m going to kill him.”

“Our leader is a busy person. It’ll be quite difficult to meet him, you know?”

At Avad’s words, Risinass laughed heartily.

“Then shall I make you struggle with all your might?”

Whoooosh—

Fighting spirit erupted from Risinass’s body.

The Magic Studies students’ bodies trembled at the sight.

‘…This presence.’

Avad clenched his fists.

Someone’s image overlapped in his vision.

‘Leo?’

“I’m personally looking forward to this quite a bit.”

An enormous number of magic circles appeared around the ice clone.

“Won’t you avoid disappointing me?”

***

Risinass, who had been chasing Chen Xia, cast one more ice clone.

And the place that ice clone headed to was where nine Knight Academy students were located.

The Knight Academy students showed slightly bewildered expressions upon seeing Risinass suddenly standing alone before the nine of them.

Even the great Duran wore a dumbfounded expression.

“Hello?”

Seeing the clone greet them with a bright smile, Iliana snorted with a “Hmph!”

“How dare you charge at us alone without fear?! And it’s you, Chloe, not even Chelsea?! In the name of the Knight Academy, I’ll take you down! Here I cooome!”

As the excited Iliana drew her sword and tried to charge forward, Selia reached out and grabbed Iliana.

“You fool! You’ll get beaten if you charge in recklessly! Do you think Chloe came here without any preparation?!”

“Ah! It’s a trap! That’s so like Chloe! Trying to deceive me completely!”

Watching the surprised Iliana, Selia pressed her temples firmly.

Then she stepped forward.

“Are you planning to step up?”

At Duran’s question, Selia swept back her hair.

“I’ll go assess what she’s scheming. In terms of compatibility, I’m the most advantageous among us.”

Selia, who wielded flame aura, certainly had an advantage in a fight against Chloe.

Moreover, among the third-year Knight Academy students, Selia was the one who most often performed the role of charging vanguard in situations like this.

In Iliana’s case, she was fast but lacked destructive power.

Similarly, Chen Xia’s abilities weren’t suited for the task of sweeping away enemies head-on.

Even Duran, who used destructive aura equivalent to a mage along with Selia, fell slightly short of Selia in terms of pure destructive power.

Duran’s strengths were speed and destructive power.

As such, he often performed missions that utilized mobility.

‘Whatever scheme there is, it’s useless.’

As Selia stepped forward, the ice clone’s eyes gleamed.

‘She’s definitely Kail’s cousin in this life, right?’

Her upright posture was evident at a glance.

And her red eyes conveyed integrity.

‘…The children of Lumern are truly fascinating.’

These were, in a way, Kail’s descendants.

But they were showing so many different aspects.

The Magic Studies students’ liveliness, creativity, and uniqueness carried traces of Luna.

The Knight Academy students’ unwavering will and brave appearance bore the images of Dweno and Arron.

And in their eyes that never gave up, he could glimpse Kail’s image.

‘They resemble me too. Is it Kail’s influence?’

As Risinass tilted his head with a curious expression.

“Do you have time for idle thoughts?”

Whoosh—

Flames struck Risinass.

Seeing this, Risinass thrust his staff forward.

“What?”

Clang—! Whoosh! Crackle—!

Sword and staff crossed as flame and ice swept in all directions, blocking the vision of those around them.

Crack—! Crack—!

“What?”

Selia wore a shocked expression as she watched Risinass engage in a power struggle with her.

Risinass lightly deflected Selia’s sword and dove straight into Selia’s embrace.

Risinass spread his palm wide and struck Selia’s chest directly.

Thud—! Whoosh—

“Kugh?!”

Selia hastily retreated.

If she had been even slightly late in deploying her aura armor, her entire body would have frozen.

“What kind of martial arts is this? Did you learn it from Sia?”

“Hm?”

“It’s similar to Sia’s!”

“Ah.”

At Selia’s words, Risinass’s clone smiled faintly.

‘If that child is Bihar’s descendant, she might resemble me.’

The foundation of Berkia’s swordsmanship and magic were Arron and Luna.

Leo taught Berkia how to fight using the abilities learned from those two.

Similarly, the foundation of the techniques Bihar possessed as a shadow was Risinass.

‘To be precise, it’s the power of the black dragon.’

The abilities of the black dragons who were guardians of darkness.

Bihar had made that power her own and used it.

“You have good eyes. But….”

Risinass tilted her head.

“Aren’t you the one having other thoughts while fighting?”

“What?”

Crackle-!

“Ugh?”

Selia’s body froze solid.

Looking at Selia with wide eyes, Risinass spoke in a cold voice.

“I’m a bit disappointed. To think you can’t focus on the fight and get caught by something this trivial.”

Step- Step-

Risinass approached Selia.

She had been defeated too helplessly compared to the power Selia actually possessed.

Looking at Selia biting her lips tightly, Risinass said coldly.

“Is there something more important than fighting me?”

At those words, Selia hung her head low.

Then she spoke.

“Chloe.”

“Why?”

“…You don’t have anything going on with Avad, right?”

“What?”

“You’ve always clearly maintained boundaries as friends and rivals in the same department, right? But… this morning something seemed strange.”

“Did you have feelings for Avad?”

“What feelings could I have for that butter! That guy is the heir of the Rwallin Family!”

Looking at Selia shouting indignantly, Risinass made a fuss inwardly.

‘Oh my, look at her.’

Anyone could see she had feelings, yet she was denying it.

Her dishonest appearance while turning bright red was cute.

And someone came to mind as well.

A colleague and friend more precious than anyone.

‘Luna.’

From Risinass’s position of having liked the same person, she couldn’t support Luna.

‘How innocent.’

For some reason, it felt heartwarming.

‘This is a good opportunity.’

While smiling inwardly, Risinass felt like teasing Selia a little.

“Then.”

“…?”

“Would it be okay if I tried to seduce him?”

“….”

Selia’s eyes trembled.

Normally Selia would have felt something strange, but today she couldn’t notice the oddness due to her complicated feelings.

Whooooo-

The ice began melting rapidly.

“Do whatever you want.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Selia’s lips twisted viciously.

“I’m… fine with it. You two suit each other. Perfectly.”

Looking at Selia speaking as if spitting out the words, Risinass smiled slyly.

“Yeah, thanks.”

Whoooosh-

“Thanks my ass!”

Whoosh-!

Selia’s flames engulfed Risinass.

“Huff-! Huff-!”

It was when Selia, freed from Risinass’s ice restraints, was breathing heavily.

Whoooosh-!

Phoenix flames gathered into one mass.

And blazed above Risinass’s palm.

Selia’s face hardened.

“Who… are you?”

At that question, Risinass smiled deeply.

“Secret.”

The flames burning above Risinass’s palm took the shape of a phoenix and struck Selia directly.

Crash-! Thud-!

“Ugh?!”

“Selia?”

“What’s happening?”

When the Knight Department students were shocked.

Duran flinched-! and tried to swing his sword.

But Risinass’s index finger tapping Duran’s forehead was faster.

Tap-!

Flash! Crash-!

The flash that burst from Risinass’s hand sent Duran flying.

Risinass, who had rushed into the middle of the Knight Department students, smiled slyly.

“Are you ready? You’ll need to give it your all.”

Whirr-!

A small sphere of light appeared above Risinass’s finger.

Seeing that, Iliana’s body trembled with a start.

“It’s going to hurt a lot.”

“It’s light attribute magic! Everyone dodge!”

Simultaneously with that shout, particles of light burst from Risinass’s fingertips like buckshot and struck the Knight Department students.

Risinass’s ice clone stood calmly after sweeping away the Knight Department students in an instant.

Selia and Duran struggled to get up.

Iliana, who had barely escaped the range of the attack and hidden behind a rock, peeked her face out.

Whooooo-

As an ominous aura burst from Risinass’s body, Iliana made a tearful face.

“What the hell is this class president version of Chloe?”
