Chapter 16: Dungeon Practice (4)
As soon as Baek Yu-seol sensed that something akin to attack magic was flying by his sixth sense, he blinked and moved to the top of a tree.
Tung! Something similar to a bullet of light passed by where he was standing, crashing into a tree and disappearing.
Baek Yu-seol looked at Fuleim lying on the floor in a cold sweat.
Do you have any reason to kill someone?
Magic Leakage Delays level had recently increased, and it could now detect magic flying from 18m away, so I wiped away the cold sweat, thinking that I was almost in danger.
Wizards wore thin layers of defensive magic on their bodies, and I didnt have any of that.
Besides, the light bullet isnt a good thing.
Wasnt it too much for someone at a student level? In magic society, a 17-year-old magician was called a genius even if he used only 1st class magic.
But it was all a ruse in Stella. First-year students were already using 2nd class magic freely, and students who excelled, such as Fuleim, were dealing with 3rd class magic.
It was best not to deal with Radiance attribute magic, which was fast in attack, powerful in attack power, and also good at healing.
But now I have two blinks, so if I can use the terrain well, Ill be able to deal with it to some extent
[Blink]
Class: 1
Maximum Range: 12m
Maximum number of charges: 2
Cooldown: 3 seconds
As a result of the early morning training, the number of blinks increased to two. Now, it was possible to move freely.
But its hard to fight with her.
It was crazy to deal with the main character, so Baek Yu-seol left quickly.
My goal was to be in the top 5. No, I was aiming for exactly the 5th place.
As I recall, the prize for fifth place was Edelic Root. When consumed, it increased stamina and muscle strength by a certain level, and although it was not that good, it was added as a product to replenish energy when young students studied.
Jeremy was first, followed by Haewonryang in second, and Hong Bi-yeon in third. Mayu-seong was in fourth place, but there was a part where Fuleim would take it away from him.
Anyway, the score from the fourth place was so overwhelming that I didnt care. The cut-off for fifth place was approximately 70 points. I only need three more point sticks.
However, no matter what you say, I cant seem to recall where the point stick was. I simply need to believe in the quick maneuverability of blinking and searching.
Oh, is it another dead end?
I took the wrong way. It was so confusing because the terrain kept changing in the first place.
I had no choice but to turn around and try to get out of the other way.
s! The grass in front parted, and about five boys appeared.
Oh, who is this? Isnt it Baek Yoo Seol from class S?
When I checked the name tag, it was a boy named Raiden. Those guys are pretty well known in school these days. He belonged to the Yuslek faction, whom I had previously identified as Jeremy Bread Shuttle.
So, they were the faction member of a faction created by a faction member of another faction. Next to him stood boys whom I believe to be in the Yuslek faction, and I was honestly impressed.
Because Raiden was holding three-point sticks in his left hand.
Theyve collected a lot.
The Raiden gang came close and condescended.
Are you Baek Yu-seol? The one who cant use magic at all and got into class S?
I cant believe you got three weird questions right and entered Class S. Stellas been dead lately, too. <T/N: dead as in quality standards have dropped lately.>
I heard you resonated with an upper-middle grade wand this time. Why dont you show me? For a subject that cant even use magic, it wont be of much use.
It wasnt funny at all but giggling among themselves, they were your typical group of high school bullies.
It feels different to see them after a long time.
When Baek Yu-seol was in school, there were a lot of kids like that.
Why dont you speak? All right, give me your point stick.
I dont want to.
Raiden laughed in vain when Baek Yoo-seol secretly hid his point stick behind him.
What do you believe in, ha? Youre not wearing a damage suit, are you?
A damage suit was a suit given when practicing in a subspace. It had its own protective shield to ensure safety, and if it took damage above a certain level, it would be kicked out of the arena.
In other words, youre out.
But, it only prevents death, it does not alleviate pain. I mean, get a taste of the real thing. Heh heh, youll probably be in enough pain to want to die.
Hmm
I made an estimate for a while.
The first-class Blink should be effective against a group of low-ranking students, but there was a good chance it wouldnt work against a talented wizard from a prestigious family like Raiden. Im not sure if it would have been possible if there had been at least three blinks.
There were, however, variables.
It was the point stick in his hand and the point that this place was a dungeon.
Come on.
[Blink]
As soon as the decision was made, I approached the boy who was standing on the precipice and casting magic.
And then, I screamed.
Argh!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him and shouted, and he was so startled that he forgot his face and fell to the floor, losing his wand.
At that moment, Magic Rebound was triggered by the effect of casting failure.
There was enough cool time left to blink, and it was possible to avoid it, but magic rebounds of only first or second-class magic did not cause too much damage, so avoiding it was unnecessary.
So I acted aggressively.
Just before the magic rebound happened, I kicked the boy in the stomach and pushed him to the place where the Raiden and his crew were gathered.
Ting!
Shudder!!
The robes magic shield wrapped around his stomach lightly intercepted Baek Yu-seols kick, but the impact was enough to blow him back.
phut!
Whoa! Argh!
Argh!
It was a shock wave the size of a firecracker at best, but it was still insane due to the traps in the dungeon, and because of rumors of a newcomer, their heart trembled, screaming a little, and they fell back.
This technique worked because the opponents were young boy wizards who were still learning how to fight.
And in between.
[Blink]
I moved behind Raiden, who took a step backward in surprise and took another point stick.
You, you, this dog!
Aigoo boss. You are even organizing a one plus one event. This will ruin the store!
Hey, bring it here!!
Raiden fired a thunderbolt, but it did not reach Baek Yu-seol, who hid behind the tree.
I dont think Ill be able to take the other one.
I stuck my head out again, wanting to be satisfied with this.
I had a lot of fun, so Im going to go now. I have a date tonight.
You!
Raiden shouted, but Baek Yu-seol, who had already blinked and left his place, could not hear it.
Fufu, what a windfall it is.
If I had fought normally, I would have been robbed, but thanks to the fact that this is a dungeon, I was able to steal the point stick. Thats what adulthood is all about.
Something caught my eye as I was leaving the battlefield.
A familiar black hair back of the head.
Fuleim? Whats that kid doing here?
I had no idea because unless the subject was using magic, I couldnt tell their location with my sixth sense, and she had been watching my fight with Raiden from a good distance away for quite some time.
Is stalking her hobby?
It was strange, by the way. According to the game, Fuleim had two options to choose from here.
Defeat the hidden boss that Eisel had planned to hunt, or intervene in the fight between Hae Won-ryang and Mayu-seong to determine their victory or defeat.
Whats she doing here at a time like this?
I was about to climb a tree while staring blankly at her when my sixth sense alerted me of a creepy sensation.
Uh?
When I turned my head.
Whack!!
A huge fireball flew right to the landing spot of Baek Yu-seol.
