Chapter 93-2

"Ge... darn it..."

Forcing recovery magic onto her back, she struggled to stand up, and tightly gripped her staff.

Despite students sprawling all around, Maizen still remained motionless with a relaxed demeanor.

"Hmm, this is quite impressive. I didn't know you could defend against it. Certainly, our first-year newcomers are not ordinary, huh?"

He laughed as if genuinely delighted.

"... I'm very pleased with the idea of absorbing that talent."

**Thunk!**

As soon as Maizen took a step forward, some students forcibly used their staff and stood up.

Remarkably, even in the midst of all this, they were igniting the determination to resist, knowing that the enemy was still right in front of them.

"Hahaha... Indeed, no matter how young, Stella is Stella, huh?"

As he slowly scanned the students who were rising, Maizen's expression twisted.

"... Kids these days, why are they so earnest about irrelevant matters?"

Edna quickly confirmed Mayuseong's position. His academy uniform was disheveled, but he seemed relatively unharmed.

No, it wasn't just relatively unharmed.

Sparks were gradually emanating from his body, but it wasn't the typical blue and red mixture of magic.

It was pure black.

Mayuseong was attempting to use his inherent ability, [Dark Magic Domination].

However, the condition for that was extremely strict, requiring the complete release of [Dark Magic Form].

It was a formidable task for Mayuseong in his current state.

Moreover, once he revealed his dark magic, he would no longer be able to stay at Stella permanently.

Knowing this, the decision to release it was a testament to the importance of navigating the current situation rather than the trivial academy.

But at that moment, Maizen approached Mayuseong with a bang, forcing him to reluctantly step back and deploy an rock barrier in front.

**Bang!**

But, Maizen effortlessly pierced through even the Class 3 barrier and charged forward.

Mayuseong desperately used a Hyper Jump to hastily evade, but Maizen immediately pursued him.

"Ugh...!"

Unable to do anything, Mayuseong exploded flames in mid-air, forcefully propelling himself and crashing onto the ground, suffering significant impact.

**Boom!**

Maizen was about to strike him in that state, but the students, who had regained their composure just in time, launched their magic attacks, preventing him from doing so.

Meanwhile, Mayuseong quickly tried to create distance, but Maizen, even with a hastily deployed shield, intended to chase him relentlessly, even if he had to endure some attacks.

"She noticed something...!"

The [Dark Magic Domination] ability had a morale-boosting trait that could have some impact even on higher-level dark mages.

Maizen knew this from the beginning and forcefully pursued Mayuseong to prevent him from unleashing dark magic.

"You, damn bitch!"

Edna summoned a whip of light to bind Maizens body. While his speed slightly decreased, it didn't have a significant effect.

Maizen tore it apart and continued advancing.

Meanwhile, magic struck Maizen.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

However

Even though Mayuseong was receiving Maizens attacks... he was still a dark mage with a power level of over Class 5.

Against him, Mayuseong demonstrated various senses to block or evade his attacks and even counterattack according to opportunity.

Rocks erupted, lightning struck, and walls of fire obstructed Maizens vision.

In other words, Mayuseong was excellently 'tanking' against Maizen.

He was more impressive than they thought. Even though he was Mayuseong, the fact that he could withstand a Class 5 dark mage without unleashing all his power was quite remarkable.

Dizziness.

The world shook, and her body pleaded to fall into sleep, wanting to escape the continuous ordeal, but she couldn't afford to.

If she fell asleep here, she would forever lose everything.

Even her life and the future of this world.

"I can't I can't possibly..."

Exhausted, Edna gripped her staff and lifted her head.

Soon, her eyes were filled with despair.

**Swish...!!**

From Maizens fingertips, a magic circle emerged and began spinning.

It was the dark flame that all the students had barely managed to stop by pooling their strength.

"Haha... Truly impressive. To possess this level of magic at such a young age, the top 10 geniuses..."

Maizen chuckled and then hardened his expression, clutching the flame.

"... I really can't help but want to take it away from you."

The dark flame had grown much larger than before.

Estimated level: Class 6.

Even if everyone was at their peak condition, they couldn't possibly stop it...

The sky turned dark, as if reflecting their future.

Edna desperately tried to draw out her mana to emit light attack, but she couldn't feel anything inside her anymore.

"Damn it..."

Edna suddenly looked around.

Mayuseong, huddled in a corner, struggled to stand up.

Just like Edna, he was supporting his weak body with the staff.

Eisel and Hong Bi-Yeon also supported themselves on their staff, and forced themselves to rise.

And the other students were unconscious, and didnt even have the ability to twitch.

They would all die.

The ones who were meant to change the future of the world.

All would die there.

It was despairing and lamentable.

But if this was fate, there was nothing they could do.

Edna blankly gazed at Maizens approaching dark flame.

**[... The special function of the item 'Marikan's Pendant' is activated.]**

**[Marikan Shield]**

**[Once, it will unconditionally defend against magic of Class 6 or lower.]**

Immediately after, in front of her, a massive, round shield with intricate machinery-like circuits unfolded.

** Boom!!**

The dark flame completely vanished.

"Ah..."

In that fleeting moment, Edna could see it.

Smaller and more petite than the boys of his age, but... she felt that his presence was solid and broad, more than anyone else.

The profile of a certain boy.

"He's damn late..."

With that, Edna closed her eyes.

she appeared relieved and there was even a smile on her face.",
