Spring forth.

Spring forth.

Spring forth.
As the incantation was repeated several times, the water masses took shape and revealed themselves.
The 【Spatial Awareness】 magic didn’t simply end at making the mage accurately understand the space around them.
It also granted additional effects when making such long-range attacks.
It could dramatically increase the number of water orbs that would normally be difficult to control beyond a certain amount due to having to manipulate each one individually.
Combining and linking magic in this way was also part of a mage’s ability…
“…”
“…”
…but this was only possible if one had the mana for it.
Durgyu and Giselle forgot about charging at Bikelintz and stared at the water orbs with eyes filled with bewilderment and amazement.
No matter what, there were just too many of them.
‘Amazing!’
Bikelintz stood still, even forgetting to counterattack.
Normally, giving time to a powerful mage was the ultimate taboo. Even a brief incantation could completely reverse the situation on the battlefield.
However, instead of counterattacking, Bikelintz watched.
It was too amazing to interrupt the flow with an attack.
No matter how much of an Einroguard student they were, could a first-year use magic of that level?
“Professor Ingoldel. Can all first-year students at the magic school use magic of that level?”
Bikelintz asked.
If it were true, he was planning to scold the mages belonging to the White Poplar Knight Order.
If a first-year who had just started learning magic was at that level, then what about the mages belonging to the White Poplar Knight Order?
“No.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Definitely not.”
Not only Professor Ingoldel, but Durgyu and Giselle also spoke with serious expressions.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
At that moment, Lee Han’s attack resumed.
The water orbs that had appeared in the air began flying with different trajectories and different speeds.
Even though Lee Han himself didn’t want to admit it, that sight resembled the Magic Arrow Control that Professor Boladi had demonstrated.
In terms of aggressively launching large quantities of projectiles, he couldn’t help but resemble the orthodox method Professor Boladi had shown.
‘I should have a word with Professor Boladi.’
Professor Ingoldel, who was watching, frowned with worry.
He knew from hearing from various professors that Lee Han was learning about magical combat under Professor Boladi.
-Do you understand, Ingoldel? Compared to Professor Bagrek, I am nothing. So don’t go around talking about me. Especially to His Imperial Majesty.
-Do you understand, Ingoldel? Compared to Professor Bagrek, I am nothing. So don’t go around talking about me. Especially to His Imperial Majesty.
-Do you understand, Ingoldel? Compared to Professor Bagrek, I am nothing. So don’t go around talking about me. Especially to His Imperial Majesty.
-Sigh… Why… Lee Han being under Professor Boladi… I never thought talent could become poison… Ah. My apologies. This wasn’t something I should complain about to Professor Ingoldel…
The mage professors at this magic school, being from mage backgrounds, inevitably had some extreme aspects.
Lee Han was now becoming like those professors as he learned from them.
A new student had floated too many water orbs in the air.
No matter how much mana he had, the mental energy consumed in controlling all of those individually would be considerable.
Professor Ingoldel seriously thought he should visit Professor Boladi and make a request.
Wouldn’t it be dangerous to have him float so many water orbs already?
‘I should speak carefully.’
Professor Ingoldel himself was the only one who could protect the students from the professors at this magic school.
* * *
Lee Han felt a chill down his spine.
‘He’s strong!’
Was this how the strength shown by a knight who had reached mastery made people feel afraid?
Of course, there was another reason for the chill Lee Han felt, but Lee Han himself couldn’t know.
If he had known, he would have gone to Professor Ingoldel and begged, ‘Please don’t say strange things to Professor Boladi!’
But right now, Lee Han was too busy dealing with Bikelintz.
Even with Durgyu and Giselle circling around to both sides and charging while water orbs continuously rushed from the air, Bikelintz remained unshaken.
Bikelintz sliced down all the rushing water orbs and deflected the two charging swordsmen.
‘This… even 【Perkuntra’s Lesser Lightning】 won’t work.’
The three students were holding on only because Bikelintz wasn’t actively charging at them.
Once Bikelintz began going on the offensive, the combined attack they were currently pouring out would crumble in an instant.
They needed to somehow deal damage while the opponent was taking it easy, but that wasn’t easy.
Lee Han had never intended to settle things with water orbs from the start. The water orbs were just a trick to confuse the opponent and create an opening.
Once an opening was created, he planned to launch a proper attack with magic like 【Perkuntra’s Lesser Lightning】…
But no opening was being created at all.
‘Why did Professor Ingoldel bring such a knight…’
Complaints aside, his body moved.
Toward the best possible method available right now.
I hide in the night.
”
I hide in the night.
“
I hide in the night.
Lee Han quietly chanted the incantation. As he withdrew behind the illusions and chanted, Lee Han’s body became invisible.
Since he was quite far away and there were multiple copies of Lee Han due to 【Pahaite’s Lesser Illusions】, Bikelintz didn’t notice.
‘This far.’
Despite having cast invisibility magic, Lee Han couldn’t approach that close.
He was afraid of the opponent’s senses.
He could tell from experiencing it firsthand in Professor Boladi’s lectures.
Excellent mages could detect surrounding situations through mana alone even with their eyes covered.
Excellent knights would be the same.
The moment he approached within a certain distance, even with invisibility magic, he would be immediately noticed.
It was regrettable but couldn’t be helped.
Lee Han took a breath and steeled himself.
From now on, it was a battle against time.
‘I trust you, Perkuntra!’
Strike forth, lightning of Perkuntra!
”
Strike forth, lightning of Perkuntra!
“
Strike forth, lightning of Perkuntra!
Mana flowed out explosively from the center of Lee Han’s body and transformed into lightning-attribute mana.
The accumulation of lightning mana, impossible with the 1st Circle magic 【Lightning Generation】 that fires the moment it’s cast.
Lightning-attribute mana rapidly gathered in a spherical form, raging wildly as it shot forth.
Bikelintz was more shocked than by anything else he’d experienced today.
The Wardanaz family boy had somehow approached stealthily and launched lightning magic from behind.
And it was magic that seemed to be at least 4th Circle!
It was surprising enough that a new student cast 4th Circle magic, but what was even more astonishing was the speed.
Casting magic in a peaceful workshop was completely different from casting magic on a fierce battlefield.
The former allowed leisurely, repeated casting without pressure, but the latter required overcoming tension and pressure to cast quickly in one go.
A new student breaking through such adverse conditions this quickly?
He seemed even better than the mages belonging to the White Poplar Knight Order.
‘Wardanaz family… I’d only heard rumors, but were the rumors actually underestimating them!’
Crack-!!!!
A purple light flashed from Bikelintz’s sword as he struck down the incoming lightning bolt.
With an ear-splitting roar, the lightning was torn apart, bouncing to both sides and stabbing into the ground before disappearing.
From the sight of the soil where the lightning struck turning pitch black, one could guess the power the lightning possessed.
However, it held no meaning for Lee Han.
‘…Perkuntra. I’ll never trust you again!’
In a situation where even the magic he’d trusted was blocked, what meaning was there in ‘at least the power was decent’?
Lee Han cursed Perkuntra.
What was even worse was that Bikelintz had changed his attitude due to this surprise attack.
“…I’m truly impressed.”
Bikelintz raised his sword. Traces of lightning remained on the sharp blade.
Bikelintz no longer intended to just stand still. No matter how young a new student he was, standing idle against an opponent who displayed this level of skill was insulting and rude.
Sincerity should be met with sincerity.
“…”
Lee Han felt a chill down his spine.
Even without words, he could predict what would happen from the countless situations he’d already experienced.
“Sir Knight, I think there’s a misunderstand…”
“I think there’s been a misunderstanding, sir…”
Bang!
”

* * *
One of the most common misconceptions among non-mages was, ‘Couldn’t you read and practice magic from grimoires without necessarily learning from a master?’
Gather and condense, then explode!
Of course, this was nearly impossible.
The grimoires that mages used were basically closer to personal satisfaction for individual mages rather than aimed at knowledge transfer.
There was no consideration whatsoever for making readers understand!
Grimoires were books filled with all sorts of codes and abstract metaphors, crooked handwriting, and abbreviations and citations that only the author could understand.
Therefore, it wasn’t strange that Lee Han kept getting stuck on the first chapter no matter how much he read 【On Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications】.
This was despite this book being among the most detailed and thoroughly written books Lee Han had seen.
Thanks to wrestling with the book for a long time, Lee Han was barely able to identify one magic spell.
This was the case even though this book was the most detailed and thoroughly written among all the books Lee Han had read.
After wrestling with the book for a long time, Ihan was finally able to identify a single spell.
On Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications
How else could there be mercenaries who learned only Magic Missile and claimed to be mages?
On Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications
I believe there is no blood mage who does not know of Publicus’s great and tremendous Magic Missile. The excellent blood magic master Publicus created this spell for future generations of blood mages, and the method is as follows…
The same was true for someone like Lee Han whose advantage was overflowing mana.
Lee Han thought this magic was useful and studied it diligently.
Of course, he hadn’t expected to use it in actual combat without a single practice session…
Screech.
A strange sound occurred when the mana condensed, collided, and became unstable.
Lee Han was flustered.
‘What?’
At first, he thought the magic had failed. But it hadn’t failed.
The condensed mana was continuing to move according to Lee Han’s will.
As if it would explode at any moment!
‘…!’
Lee Han finally realized.
The ‘explode’ in the incantation.
If it were a normal Magic Missile, it should have been ‘shoot forth’ or ‘be fired’.
But ‘explode’?
That meant…
‘It wasn’t a firing-type Magic Missile from the beginning!’
A magic that deliberately compressed massive mana to make it unstable, then exploded it at close range!
Such an unstable Magic Missile couldn’t possibly maintain its form and fly.
This magic had completely abandoned the firing process from the start.
Lee Han cursed the blood mages while concentrating his mind.
Abandoning the magic he’d cast this far would be suicide.
Since it had come to this, he had no choice but to control this explosion!
‘Control it.’
* * *
Bikelintz, who was charging forward, witnessed the explosion of mana flashing and engulfing him from ahead and was greatly alarmed.
To cast such magic again in that brief moment?
“Hup!”
Bikelintz circulated mana through all his muscles to strengthen them firmly and endured.
This magic had completely abandoned the firing process from the very beginning.
Ihan cursed the blood mages as he focused his mind.
Abandoning the magic he had cast up to this point would be suicide.
Now that it’s come to this, I have no choice but to control this explosion!
‘Control.’
The charging Vickelints were horrified as they witnessed the dazzling explosion of magical power that came crashing down before them.
You cast another spell like this in such a short time?
“Hup!”
Vickelints circulated magical power through all the muscles in his body, hardening and strengthening them to endure.
It was destructive power that was hard to believe had been cast in such a short time.
While sending respect in his heart to the young opponent before him, Bikelintz knocked the staff from Lee Han’s hand.
Once it was confirmed the fight was over, Bikelintz sheathed his sword at his waist and approached Lee Han.
“By any chance, are you with the White Poplar Knight Order…”
Swish!
Lee Han drew his wooden sword and thrust it forward.
The wooden sword stopped in front of Bikelintz’s chest.
Bikelintz looked at Lee Han with surprised eyes, then gave a bitter smile.
“I still have a long way to go. To make such a mistake…”
Because he had been distracted by the magic, he thought the fight was over just because he had knocked away the staff.
Bikelintz graciously admitted defeat.
“I lost.”
Considering what this young new student had shown, he deserved to claim victory.
