Academy Gumiho is a Magic Genius 391

What is that?(1)

“It’s already connected.”

Through the journal, I perfectly understood what kind of system these people in this world were trying to create.

‘The system is a newly written law of the universe.’

By adding a medium called a system on top of the concept the researchers named ‘Spear,’ they developed the Spear into a form useful for people.

The most perfect program in the entire universe was born.

However, because it was too perfect, the system escaped the researchers’ control, and the system, which had become one with the Spear, failed to recognize this world as one they should embrace.

The result was Eve.

Researcher Hawa, was it?

‘I don’t know why their names are all like that.’

In any case, Hawa created the perfect program called the system and always regretted one thing.

That was that she was too obsessed with ‘perfection.’

‘I don’t know if she judged that a flawless result was necessary to save her world, but…’

Thanks to her perfectionist tendencies, the system analyzed and judged on its own, diagnosing this world as one that could not be saved.

The system is perfect. Because it is perfect, it escaped the control of the researchers.

In the end, Hawa came to a conclusion.

To save the world, an imperfect artificial intelligence was needed.

That’s how Eve was born.

The epitome of imperfection.

An artificial life form created with humans as a motif, and supposed to be the AI of the system… but the process took too long.

Hawa returned to dust hundreds of years ago, and Eve went through the process of being discarded and reproduced hundreds of times.

“You. What number are you?”

Even I, who can pride myself on being Eve’s close friend, couldn’t tell which number she was. Because.

The Eve I know is only the last Eve created.

Only one.

I don’t know the other Eves.

“…….”

“You probably don’t even know yourself, do you? Which number Eve you are.”

Eve didn’t give me an answer.

Maybe she doesn’t even know herself.

‘Or maybe she’s not telling me because she doesn’t want to.’

If it were the Eve I knew, she would have readily told me with a bit of a joke.

What number she is.

She would even add past stories and tell me everything I didn’t ask.

And if I replied that I wasn’t even curious about such things, she would say, ‘That’s why I’m telling you,’ and bring up the next topic with a smile.

That was the Eve I knew.

‘This one is completely different.’

She doesn’t react to my answers, and there’s hardly any change in her expression.

‘It’s like looking in a mirror.’

If Eve used to talk to me and I answered brusquely [abruptly].

Now I talk to Eve and she doesn’t say a word.

‘I’ve grown up, is it your turn to grow up now?’

Whirr.

Flames spread subtly from under my feet.

Instead of the disappearing ice tower, these flames will be the foothold for me to move.

Thud.

I was floating in the air with psychokinesis and fire, but I can’t fight like this forever.

‘My specialty is ground warfare, not aerial warfare.’

Even if I fight in the air, if I create a foothold with magic and fight, I can fight as easily as fighting on the ground.

‘……Hmm.’

I finished preparing.

A situation where I can unleash a big skill right now.

However, I rolled my eyes non-stop to grasp the opponent’s capabilities.

Let’s see, I can see the system connected to Eve far away.

Is what’s beyond that the Spear?

Well, then Eve isn’t the end.

‘This world doesn’t end by killing them.’

It wasn’t a convenient development where it ends when Eve dies.

The reverse side world is a fragment of an already destroyed world.

Then, this world must also have a predetermined end.

‘Eve is by no means the end of this world.’

Because I know.

A girl who makes strange food and tries to force me to eat it, likes to write, and is full of regrets in everything.

‘It’s right to see that as the system itself already.’

Then Adam and Eve manage the system.

It means there are two managers. I doubt whether the perfect program called the system needs two managers, but based on the information I have seen and experienced so far, that was the only conclusion.

‘Then let’s take down Eve first and move on.’

The moment I decided to defeat Eve, my sword had already reached her neck.

“What speed?!”

Eve, surprised by the speed, glared at me.

She didn’t even open her mouth to the question of which Eve she was, but she speaks so well at times like this. A selfish mouth.

But that mouth will soon… Huh?

‘A translucent barrier on her neck?’

A very faint trace was felt.

Sensing that it was impossible to cut Eve’s neck, I immediately changed my target and swung my sword.

Whoosh!

A sword strike moving at high speed, cutting through the wind.

Eve reached out to block the attack, but at some point, the speed of the sword far surpassed her recognition speed.

In the end, Eve completely missed the trajectory of the sword.

Slice!

Eve reflexively knew where the sword was headed.

A cool sensation brushed her arm. After that, a burning pain was felt in her arm, and warm liquid was felt on her face in an instant.

“…Fast.”

Thud!

Fell to the thin girl’s floor.

The sword had cut off Eve’s left arm.

At the moment of a sure hit, I was about to aim for other body parts.

‘This girl isn’t even human in the first place.’

Is there any point in cutting off her arm?

People and animals, Mins and Demons.

They are living beings.

Personally, I don’t even treat Mins and Demons as living beings, but it was an undeniable fact that they were living and breathing creatures.

But what about Eve?

Breath?

She’s breathing.

Injury?

An unbelievable amount of blood poured from the shoulder where her left arm had disappeared. An amount that would have killed an ordinary human long ago.

No matter how superhuman, even a magician with recovery abilities would step on the threshold of death.

“Tsk.”

An ominous feeling doesn’t easily leave my head.

In the end, instead of continuing the next attack, I kicked the floor and moved backwards.

Bubble bubble.

It was at that moment.

Bubbles embroidered on the floor.

No. I made a foothold with fire, but this place was still high in the sky. Therefore, those bubbles were floating in the air.

“What is that… !”

“Too bad.”

Thump-!!!

A short, huge voice.

Reflexively protecting my eardrums from the ear-splitting sound, I covered my whole body with a shield. Immediately after, a huge shockwave was emitted in all directions from the air.

The flames that couldn’t withstand the impact scattered in all directions, becoming fragments.

The flames that formed the foothold scattered and obscured the view, but.

“Hmm? That is?”

In a subtle gap, I witnessed something wriggling.

My body moved before I thought.

Sword from bottom to top. The sword, swung towards the front and the sky, emitted sword energy and stretched out long.

Kaga Gaga Gaga Gang-!!!

Another loud noise echoed.

However, this time it was impossible to completely block it even by protecting the eardrums with magic. Noise that penetrates the barrier and the inside of the magic.

“Couldn’t cut it completely?”

This is not enough.

I took out a sword from the space in the ring.

It was a sword faithful to the basics.

Well balanced, and the quality of the iron is good.

Instead, an ordinary iron sword with no abilities built in.

‘If possible, I’ll bet on this one!’

Mountain Breaking Sword. A sword that destroys a mountain with one swing.

Instead, it means a disposable sword that cannot be used again once it disappears.

As mentioned earlier, this sword is just an ordinary iron sword.

There are no special abilities whatsoever.

Instead, because it is an ordinary sword, it is possible to destroy it appropriately each time the sword is swung.

If you swing it to the limit that an iron sword can withstand, it is possible to exert power comparable to a Mountain Breaking Sword.

‘There are forty-two swords left.’

Twenty-one of these are consumable forms that are used and discarded once as a Mountain Breaking Sword.

Exactly half.

It was a large amount to deal with an individual, but it was woefully insufficient to assume that I was dealing with ‘Eve’.

I’m going to have to save money even after coming this far.

‘First of all, the one in my hand.’

My head became more and more complicated.

When dealing with other guys, it was possible to check the number of consumables in real time while fighting, but it is difficult to even take that short amount of time against Eve.

‘First of all.’

Let’s start by using what’s in my hand.

Swish.

I swung the iron sword down towards Eve, who was wielding something huge to her heart’s content.

From top to bottom. The sword flowed leisurely, and then the moment the tip of the sword faced the floor.

Clang!

The sword shattered into fragments from the blade to the handle.

“…Huh?”

Eve, who had not suffered a single blow from any of the students’ attacks.

After allowing a major wound for the first time in my attack, she had been focusing on the battle without taking her eyes off me.

But this time, she took out a new sword and swung it, and it broke as it was─

“─Could it be?”

Eve protected herself with something that popped out of the air.

Immediately after, a huge storm raged along the trajectory of the sword.

─────!!!

An attack that was more than adequate to crush Mount Tai [a famous mountain in China] in an instant.

The flames used as a foothold were all scattered in front of the wind.

The remnants of magic caused by the fight also flew away in front of the storm.

Wide open view.

Now I can see something.

“Ah, no wonder. That’s why the sword didn’t go in.”

With nothing obstructing my view, I opened my eyes wide and watched what Eve had taken out of the air.

Such a loud noise came out because those things collided with the sword energy.

Wriggle wriggle.

A giant octopus leg blocked Eve’s path.

I thought she was summoning and handling a Kraken’s leg, but when I examined the contents of the leg, I felt an indescribable sense of awe.

‘That is taking the form of a giant octopus leg, but.’

Its essence is by no means organic matter.

That was a concept and a resource.

A concept like a magician’s magic power and a swordsman’s sword energy.

“…If I had to say, is it Eve’s own resource?”

A source of energy that only Eve can use has appeared.

It’s a resource that you can use alone, but it didn’t seem like the amount was small.

The simple energy density seems to be much higher in magic power.

‘Instead, the amount of resources felt in that dark octopus leg is.’

It’s infinite.

“…No wonder I thought the level of magic used was excessively high compared to the magic power accumulated while dealing with students.”

Because there is no magic power, there is something like that, so that is possible.

With the emergence of a new variable, I compared the octopus leg and Eve.

‘If Eve could have handled that resource completely, the students and I would have died long ago.’

Overwhelming magic power efficiency. I, who have the magic power recovery speed that even Nam Hwa-yeon shakes her head at, can use magic non-stop thanks to these two factors.

In fact, I have virtually infinite magic power.

However, I couldn’t dare to face an opponent with infinite magic power where the expressions ‘virtually’ and ‘close’ disappeared.

‘As a magician, that is.’

I think I can somehow cut it with a sword.

I can’t get a good feel for it.

No, how can such a vast amount of energy exist?

Is that hole connected to some universe?

‘Hey, no way?’

Isn’t it? Really.

Isn’t it?
