Episode 140
Rustling paper.
My mind went blank for a moment.
What did I just hear?
I frantically worked my frozen brain cells to retrace the words I’d just heard.
“An autograph, you said.”
“Yes! An autograph! From Min-ho! Your autograph!”
Each word was packed with force.
It was the complete opposite tone from when she was trembling at first.
“Uhhhhh, why do you suddenly want an autograph?”
I was the one who was flustered.
Why?
How come?
I’m not even a celebrity, so why are you asking for my autograph?
“I’m a fan!”
“Huh.”
I was so startled I almost bit my tongue.
Ugh.
That was almost bloody.
“So you’re saying you’re my fan.”
“Yesss!”
“I’m Korean, you know.”
“There’s probably no one in Europe who doesn’t know Min-ho’s name, right?”
I couldn’t collect myself from the bombardment of words pouring down like a waterfall.
Where did the person who was stuttering earlier go?
It was fierce in a different way from Sir Gerard’s TMI.
Getting S-rank in the C-rank and B-rank promotion exams.
Stopping the Gate Break that occurred in Guui-dong.
Even the relatively recent incident of stopping the Gate right before the Mega Break.
My track record came pouring out of the other person’s mouth.
What the.
This is scary.
“Hahaha! Those were eyes of admiration for our Lord.”
“Our Master is pretty amazing.”
Don’t chime in, you guys.
If the plan was to kill me with embarrassment, it was half successful.
Whew.
Let’s calm down.
It’s not like this is my first time giving an autograph to a fan.
“That’s true. It’s the second time.”
Thank you sooo much for that reality check.
I never thought I’d see my fan in a foreign land.
And that too.
I never expected someone who’s supposedly a disciple of the 12 Heroes to claim to be a fan.
I put strength into my hand as I signed and handed it over.
“Thank you! I’ll keep this as a family treasure and pass it down for generations!”
“You don’t need to go that far.”
“Oh, will I be doing the exchange match with Min-ho today?”
“That’s not it, this guy will be doing it.”
I casually pointed to Sir Isra.
“It’s a match with honor on the line, so I can’t go easy even on our Lord’s follower.”
“Wow! The Knight of White Light as my opponent! What an honor!”
Knight of White Light?
Who’s that supposed to be?
“That’s the nickname the fan club uses for Sir Isra, didn’t you know?”
A drop of cold sweat trickled down my spine.
I learned about the fan club’s existence during my B-rank promotion exam.
Thinking about that time makes it even scarier.
“Oh, ohhh! The Knight of White Light!”
“But why white light?”
Emilia’s eyes lit up at my question.
“Because light flashes when he swings his sword!”
“Hahaha! I quite like it!”
Sir Isra’s eyes sparkled.
Sigh.
Why is the embarrassment my share?
“Wh-what about me?!”
“Ingrid, sorry. You’re just called the Witch.”
Emilia bowed her head deeply.
“Grr! I need to work harder!”
“Hahahaha. Both loyalty to our Lord and achievements, I’m ahead in everything, Mage.”
“Just wait and see, Iron Head. I’ll get a cooler nickname.”
【I want a nickname too.】
“Shut up, thief.”
“Don’t butt in, thief!”
【I’m. Fine. Now.】
This is chaotic.
So chaotic.
“Emilia. Did you exchange greetings properly before starting the exchange match?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Then let’s start soon. Are you ready too, Min-ho?”
“Yes. I’m fine.”
Sir Isra is in top condition.
Since it’s a one-on-one sparring match, I didn’t cast blessings on him.
The damage he took in the Tower of Chaos was long since recovered, and he’s been consistently maintaining perfect condition.
“G-good luck to both of you!”
Emilia moved away while looking embarrassed.
Have I really become this famous?
“Sir Isra. Don’t you think you don’t need to elevate my honor any more at this point?”
“What are you saying? I made a vow. That there wouldn’t be a single person who hasn’t heard our Lord’s name.”
Sir.
That’s not a vow, that’s unilateral tyranny.
“Iron Head, are you going to go easy?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Mage.”
Sir Isra made a serious expression without a trace of humor.
Whoooosh!
Air swirled around the [Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword] in his grip.
“Going easy would be an insult to our Lord.”
A fierce will that he must not show mercy just because she’s my fan.
Listening to the sword’s cry resonating with Sir Isra’s emotions, I could feel that sentiment deeply.
Thud— Thud—
Maintaining a distance of about 100 meters.
Sir Isra and Ms. Emilia looked at each other.
“Then I shall begin.”
A green sphere that appeared from Lord Alfonse’s fingertips floated several meters up.
The sphere changed from green → orange → red.
After that.
Boom!
It exploded spectacularly like fireworks.
Along with the spectacular performance that opened the start of the exchange match.
“Then I’ll go with full power.”
Sir Isra’s figure shot forward like an arrow.
* * *
The direct disciple of Alphonse Hus, one of the 12 Heroes.
Emilia Gunther closed her eyes tightly just before the exchange match.
‘My heart feels like it’s going to explode!’
Her favorite hunter, whom she recently started fangirling over, was right in front of her.
It was by chance that she learned about Min-ho’s activities.
While browsing SNS as part of her usual routine before bed.
It started when she saw a short clip of body camera footage containing Min-ho’s activities.
‘It wasn’t ordinary.’
Sir Isra’s sword slicing through mutant ghouls.
Unique techniques that defied common sense about magic.
Every single thing was a mysterious and wondrous performance that she couldn’t take her eyes off.
Starting with that short video, as she searched for information about Min-ho.
Emilia ended up becoming his fan.
‘I want to show him something cool.’
A talent that surpassed Alfonse.
However.
Due to her weak disposition, Emilia had always been unable to display her true abilities.
But now.
This moment was a little different.
The intense will to not disappoint the hunter she admired drew out more than 100% of her abilities.
‘He’s someone who can cut through magic even without aura.’
She had confirmed Sir Isra’s activities through videos several times.
The Guui-dong Gate Break.
The conquest competition with Mir Guild.
Even the recent gate conquest right before a break occurred.
Not all materials had been made public.
She had only seen some materials distributed by the Rift Bureau.
But Emilia, who had watched the open source videos over and over again, had come up with the best answer.
‘I have to pressure him without giving him distance.’
Emilia’s level was A-rank.
She had awakened abilities called Memorize and Multiple Casting.
She had several spells memorized for today.
The key was whether she could decide the match before her stored spells ran out.
Boom!
As soon as Alfonse’s starting signal went off.
“Hah!”
Sir Isra let out a short battle cry and used [Mana Emission] as he kicked off the ground.
Fast.
The fight between a mage and a warrior depended on ‘distance’.
How quickly to close the gap.
Or whether to create distance without giving any opening and land free damage.
‘I expected him to come straight at me.’
[Multiple Casting]
[Banish]
A spatial spell that designates a target and banishes them.
An unavoidable instant-activation spell pushed Sir Isra away.
The distance moved was about 50 meters.
‘Huh. Why.’
The banishment range of Banish is at least 100 meters.
Moreover, the technique Emilia deployed was complete enough to push even a well-defended mage up to 200 meters.
‘He resisted the magic in that brief moment!’
As expected, he was amazing.
Separate from that thought.
Emilia deployed the next move she had prepared.
[Earth Magic — Stone Edge]
Magic that was calculated along with Banish.
Rock chunks that shot up from the ground spun fiercely as they were launched.
“Good move.”
Sir Isra grinned.
A magical attack accompanied by physical force.
Even if you cut through the flow, you can’t completely neutralize all the physical force contained in the rocks.
Banish followed by Stone Edge.
It was an excellent move.
“I too have no choice but to give my all.”
[Aura]
Whooooom!
Blue currents covered the Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword.
[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]
[3rd Form – Full Moon Slash]
A black blade that left a trajectory in the air.
The aura wrapped around the sword was released into the air, creating a strong wind.
Whooooosh!
The rock chunks imbued with earth mana flew helplessly in the wrong direction.
“I’ve never seen anything like this?!”
Emilia was so surprised that she blurted out what she was thinking.
Sir Isra’s fighting style was cutting through flows.
When analyzing the videos released so far, it was always like that.
But what was that technique he just displayed?
Instead of using his usual finesse, he crushed her magic with overwhelming power.
The Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword.
It was the result of maximizing the power of a transcendent-grade artifact.
‘Amazing!’
The shock was only momentary.
Emilia’s heart swayed greatly.
To think she could only capture that wonderful sight with her eyes!
Her regret at wanting to capture it in a photo dripped down.
Separate from that.
My mind was desperately devising the next course of action.
The earth magic I had deployed to restrict Sir Isra’s movements was nullified with a single sword strike.
Even so.
This sparring match wasn’t over yet.
[Space Magic – Blink]
Can’t push the opponent away?
Then I just need to move myself.
The aftereffect of Blink, decreased concentration, came rushing in.
[Ultra Concentration]
Emilia’s ability nullified the penalty.
Magic activated simultaneously with crossing space.
[Earth Magic ― Dig]
The spot where I had been standing just moments before caved in deeply.
Sir Isra’s form, having lost his footing, seemed to sink downward.
[Mana Emission]
He shot up again, spraying mana into the air.
“I thought you might do that.”
[Memorize]
[Gravity Magic – Weight Gravity]
Memorize, the proof of an A-rank mage.
Even powerful magic can be used immediately without preparation if stored beforehand.
The gravity enhancement magic activated with the entire pit as its range.
Sir Isra’s form, which had just been bouncing up, was slammed down into the pit.
Sir Gerard, who had been watching the sparring match, let out an admiring “Oh―”.
“Weight Gravity is an A-rank skill. It wouldn’t be easy to memorize.”
“She’s my disciple.”
Alphonse Hus’s specialty was light and earth magic.
Emilia also had talent in the same attributes as her master, so she handled magic skillfully.
“That’s not what I’m asking about, is it?”
“Good grief. Can’t you give one sincere word about how excellent the disciple I took in my later years is?”
“Be quiet since you’re being noisy. You’re interfering.”
While the 12 Heroes engaged in their verbal battle(?).
Sir Isra gritted his teeth, trying to escape from the pressure weighing down his entire body.
“Hrrgh. Quite spicy indeed.”
“It’s not over yet!”
[Fly]
Emilia rose into the air.
Mana was rearranged around her staff held forward.
[Multiple Casting]
[Photon Ray]
[Brilliant Arrow]
[Stone Shower]
A massive amount of magic bullets condensed with light attribute mana.
And earth attribute magic poured down above Sir Isra’s head.
