Academy Gumiho is a Magic Genius 109

Temil Village (4)

As soon as they grabbed Gu Yaja’s equipment.

─Clang!

They led the fight to victory everywhere.

Seo Yerin flew towards a mercenary who had been hunting villagers, channeling refined spear energy into her long spear.

Her speed was instinctively felt to be incredibly fast.

Her movements, honed to perfection, were incredibly swift and precise.

Seo Family Spear Technique, Second Form, Fourfold Crushing Strike! ─Whir! Swish! Swish!

A spear technique flowing like water.

After wielding the spear with fluid motions, the vital points of the surrounding mercenaries were pierced before they knew it.

With attacks that were too quick and accurate, four mercenaries fell helplessly.

Thud!

Just then, someone moved to attack her from behind.

A movement barely half a step faster than Seo Yerin.

However, that small difference created an opening.

“…Damn it.”

Seo Yerin spat out the curse at the presence she felt behind her.

She hurriedly tried to create distance and defend with her spear, but one move wasn’t enough.

If she allowed that one hit, one of her ribs would break.

Just as she braced for the impact and prepared to counterattack,

someone pushed away the man attacking Seo Yerin from behind with a shield.

Clang──!!

A clear sound rang out as metal collided with a head.

In return, although the brilliant golden shield was stained with blood, Leeji properly fulfilled his role as a guardian, protecting his comrade.

“Not bad.”

Both the students and the mercenaries were proving capable.

The battle, which he thought would end quickly with the students overwhelmingly superior, showed the mercenaries’ resilience in surviving this long.

“To think they would hold out against the elites of Chilseong [Seven Stars Academy].”

Baek Seungwoo observed the state of the battle.

The situation was overwhelmingly advantageous for the students and the villagers armed with farming tools.

However, the mercenaries occasionally fought back, proving they had managed to survive in this harsh world.

The fight is turning out to be more interesting than I thought.

“If I hadn’t given the students Gu Yaja’s equipment, one of them might have been seriously injured.”

─Still, wouldn’t they have been able to hold out because that little girl with the spear knows how to scatter sacred light and heal wounds?

“Seo Yerin’s use of ‘Divinity’ is only at the beginning stage. She needs professional training.”

Her “Divinity” only extends to self-healing.

She can use it on others, but the difference in efficiency is too great to compare with using it on herself without any processing or formulas.

She needed to properly learn from a skilled healer.

─Can’t you teach her?

“It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I’m not suited to it.”

Healing people, which comes from faith or belief, is incompatible with Seungwoo. So he received a lot of help from his teacher when he was young in that area.

“I specialize in killing.”

Controlling, governing, cutting, and stabbing.

Rather than good deeds like healing.

“Divinity” is too distant a word for Seungwoo, who is accustomed to slaughter and struggle.

And that is clearly reflected in the students he taught.

“Hey, your flank is open!”

Holding a shield and protecting various people, Leeji, wielding a huge double-edged axe like a guillotine, aimed at the opponent’s neck.

Then, the opponent kicked off the floor backwards to avoid the axe and immediately turned to kick his flank.

Thwack!

At the unexpectedly heavy blow, he lowered his stance and tried to endure with heavy weapons such as shields and axes.

Bang!

He kicked up a second kick.

This time, Leeji’s body was pushed back by a kick aimed at the shoulder holding the shield. He barely avoided falling, but the bruise was quite severe.

“Wow, that’s crazy. Even wearing a school uniform, that’s quite the impact?”

The Chilseong Academy uniform is basically bulletproof and swordproof.

And it is full of defensive abilities, including exorcism.

Compared to artifacts, it wouldn’t be strange to receive a grade between C+ and B in terms of durability and elasticity, and it minimizes most attacks.

However, the kick just now was quite dangerous.

And the opponent also realized that fact.

‘If I do well…’!

‘I can kill him…!’

The two, thinking different things, looked at each other’s faces and expressions.

──Thwack!

The mercenary kicked off the floor first and made the first move.

The amount of magic power imbued in his hands and feet was considerable, as if he was going to end it with this one blow.

‘Die with this!’

Even if his colleagues who formed the mercenary group with him die in this place, he will take one person with him.

The single fist unfolded with that one thought was truly a single blow comparable to an unparalleled fist technique.

Even if you block this attack with a shield, it’s enough to pierce the body with the shield.

‘How do I block it?’

Meanwhile, Leeji, who raised his shield, tried to block the fist.

He made the shield one step more solid with magic.

The shield, with its solidity comparable to a fortress, was certainly strong, but what was wrapped around the fist now was fist energy comparable to a Sword Saint [a master swordsman].

It’s not something that can be blocked with a fortress.

It’s a one-off, but it has almost the power of a siege weapon.

That’s why Leeji tried to somehow infuse magic power into the axe, refine his thoughts, and counterattack. What he couldn’t do easily in normal times was impossible in this urgent situation.

It was at that moment.

Whoosh!

Flames that no one could have imagined in this snowy land suddenly blocked the man’s fist.

“What is this…?”

Thwack!

The flames that blazed fiercely soon took shape and swung a huge fist, sending the man flying.

“S-Sir!”

“Leave that guy to me.”

Seungwoo, who couldn’t stand still in the face of the sudden unexpected situation, kindly created stairs with flames.

Tap tap.

As he cheerfully added to the war situation with the sound of his shoes, Leeji’s urgent cry was heard.

“This is the midterm exam, is it okay for the teacher to interfere like this?!”

He raised the issue of fairness.

Well, usually it would be a problem.

What fairness is there in the supervisor interfering in the exam?

However, the situation is a little different now.

“Of course. This is an unexpected situation.”

The protagonist of the powerful fist energy.

That kind of guy didn’t exist until just now.

If he had, there should have already been a considerable number of casualties before Leeji and Isis joined forces.

No, even before the armored knight and Seo Yerin struggled. He is a skilled person of that level.

“He took some medicine, and suddenly his magic power or internal energy amplified.”

“But, with doping drugs alone…”

“When I watched from afar, I felt an ominous and disgusting sensation from the pill that felt similar to that of a demon.”

“!!!”

Demon.

That was one of the unsettling factors for modern people.

Unlike human ways of thinking, demons who act arbitrarily are dangerous elements themselves who may commit terrorism or cause incidents at any time.

A pill that feels similar to that of a demon.

I have never seen or heard of such a thing in the world.

But in the first place, why is it in this remote other world?

Leeji couldn’t find an answer.

And that was the same for Baek Seungwoo.

‘…There’s something I don’t know, something.’

Because he didn’t come here as a supervisor and teacher with pure intentions, Seungwoo’s heart began to grow impatient.

He had a bad feeling.

It was the intuition of a former Sword Saint.

* * *

This battle ended only after all the mercenaries were captured or killed.

An overwhelmingly one-sided war, quite anticlimactic for the first battle to be shown to the audience outside the dungeon by flying a drone.

Still, the fact that the main players are students will add points.

─Hmm, even without those kids… I think the armored knight would have sorted out the situation alone.

‘Honestly, I think so too.’

It is true that the war situation was unilaterally tilted thanks to the students, but it only reduced the damage on the village side.

If you witness that knight in front of you, you can roughly feel it.

This bastard was fighting with a moderate amount of strength.

In fact, the victory or defeat was decided from the beginning.

“Thank you, I was able to easily prevent the enemy’s attack thanks to you.”

Whether it was because of the thick helmet that didn’t even show the outline of his face, or because of the ability built into the armor, the knight’s voice echoed.

A voice that sounds like an echo, making it impossible to estimate age and gender.

He introduced himself in a rather old-fashioned tone.

“I am Termia, the knight commander of the Frontier and the knight of the Lord. Although I am a swordsman who has just entered the Sword Expert [a rank of swordsmanship], I am in my current position thanks to the Lord’s heavy use of me.”

Frontier.

Knight Commander.

Lord.

Sword Expert.

Even though it was a short list of words, there were several words I heard for the first time.

While inferring general information and listening to his words, I listened while interpreting them into expressions that were contextually correct in my head.

However, the more I listened, the more I gave up on interpreting it because of too many proper nouns.

I just memorized it all and then took the time to decipher it later.

‘Anyway, Knight Commander. I don’t know what level Expert means, but it’s certain that he’s a strong man who has organized his own martial arts to some extent.’

At least he’s surpassed Transcendence.

He is definitely stronger than Mugung, and if compared to Namgoong Seongjin, well.

He may be equal to or greater than him.

An interesting specimen.

For me, Termia’s existence was a good standard for evaluating the approximate level and difficulty of this world.

Intrigued by him, I overlaid the Eye of Heaven on my eyes.

[ peeks at ‘Termia’s’ status window.]

[This is an outer area where the grace of the system cannot reach.]

[Based on the subjectivity seen beyond so far, an arbitrary status window is implemented!]

「Name: Termia」

「Age: 27 years old」

「Race: Human」

「Title: Knight of the Frontier.」

「Grade: ——」

「Abnormal condition: Loyalty to the Lord and Love for the Country, Fanaticism」

「Chivalry」

「Health: A」 「Strength: B+」

「Durability: C (A+)」 「Agility: B (C+)」

「Magic Power: B-」 「Sense: A」

*Durability has increased by seven levels by wearing ‘Invincible Armor’.

*Agility has decreased by two levels due to the weight proportional to the durability of the armor.

「Sacred Invincibility (S)」, 「Blessing of Loyalty (A)」, 「Illusion (A)」, 「Sanctuary of Liver (A)」, 「Imperial Swordsmanship (B)」

Overall, excellent abilities without any flaws.

Among them, what stood out in particular were the high stats.

Unlike my abilities, which are overly dependent on magic power and senses, he was evenly distributed.

‘Really ideal stat distribution. Still, I am several levels above him in magic power and senses. Physical ability is inevitable, but agility is equal.’

Of course, that agility is also equal due to the synergistic effect using the rings in the gauntlet and the weight of the opponent’s armor.

Maybe if he takes off his armor, he will be pushed back in speed as well.

Unlike me, who has excellent magic power but an extremely weak body, the knight named Termia was truly an ideal warrior who formed a hexagon in all aspects.

“I express my gratitude for your assistance. So I would like to ask your name.”

“I am Leeji, a B-class adventurer from the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“Ah, you were an adventurer.”

An ideal warrior who reached the level of Transcendence or higher at the age of 27.

Perhaps if he had only focused on one path, he might have become a famous figure in this world. But the reason why he is in this remote village is…

It was because his tendencies were extremely biased.

“Loyalty to the Lord and Love for the Country”, who is loyal to his lord and loves his land.

“Fanaticism”, who is extremely absorbed in and trusts a specific ideology.

Lastly, the three synergies, including the characteristic “Chivalry”, completed him as a knight, not a warrior.

‘I don’t even know what the S-class skill, “Sacred Invincibility”, is, but the performance will be certain as the level is high.’

If possible, S-class skills are good.

Beyond being good, it is an authority that has the power to reverse unfavorable situations at once, depending on the case.

However, the key is proficiency.

If you don’t even properly understand how to handle it because your proficiency in “Charm” is low like me, it’s a burden.

No, is it not even a burden?

In any case, even if it is your own possession, you must be able to properly handle the ability to truly make it your own.

“By the way, Knight, where did you come from?”

“Me? Haha, as I said in my self-introduction, I came from the Frontier. The Frontier is a well-maintained city even in these turbulent times.”

“City? I don’t think I’ve seen a city while coming here…”

At Leeji’s casual question, Termia tilted his head once, and then answered with a smiling face, saying that adventurers might not know about the geography of this area.

“Well, if you are an adventurer wandering around here and there, you may not know about the geography of this area. The Frontier is a city located not far from here. If you want to go, you can arrive if you walk slowly for four days, even if it’s not soon.”

It would be enough to ride a horse or run in about a day.

With that said, he laughed and left to see the injured villagers for a while.

However, no one grabbed him or moved from this spot.

Our gaze and focus are now only on the status window reflected on the retina.

[The ‘Village-level’ other world is expanded into a ‘City-level’ other world by the scenario!]

[As the area within the world widens, the completeness of the mapping decreases significantly.]

[49.9% → 4.7%]

A world that has increased by at least 10 times.

My pupils shook at the sudden unexpected situation.

‘What should I do?’

No more… I don’t know about this world either.

Too much has changed from what I vaguely knew.

Like Zhuangzi’s butterfly [a reference to a Daoist parable], whose pathetic flapping of wings caused a storm, making the aspen tremble in the tranquility of the eve.

‘…I don’t know anything anymore.’

I muttered to myself as if I were self-deprecating.

The butterfly, which had never imagined that a storm would arise from such a small flapping of wings, realized what it had done through the terrible sight only after coming down from the sky to the ground.

…My struggles, as insignificant as my flapping of wings, ruined too much.
