Academy Gumiho is a Magic Genius 245

Leonhardt (5)

Everyone has abilities they handle well, and abilities that suit them.

In my case, it’s fire magic.

That’s not to say I can’t handle water or shape-related abilities, but “Bephar’s” power to control the sea definitely didn’t suit me.

The power mutated, and he showed the ability to handle not only the sea but also liquids in general, including blood.

I learned how to handle the power through observation, imitated and replicated it, and reproduced it through my shadow.

Bang!

A dull sound, like something huge colliding.

The rupture was so loud it was hard to believe the culprit was the mass of liquid—a mixture of seawater and blood scattered everywhere—and the widely spread shadow.

“……My ears are a little numb.”

I stroked my ear with my right hand.

The rupture just now slightly affected my hearing. Just in case, I protected my whole body with magic, but the rupture penetrated that magic and reached my ear.

Fortunately, the magic reduced the sound considerably.

Even considering that, it was too loud.

He just collided with all his might. Both he and I were determined to kill each other in one blow with overwhelming mass and pressure.

“Bephar” gave an absurdly high pressure to the miscellaneous liquid and wielded it like a wave.

Clearly, his power was a powerful force.

He even had the power to rot wounds.

If it were the old me, I would have struggled.

But it didn’t matter to me now.

Rather, I wanted “Bephar” to show off his power, abilities, and strength even more. That way, the samples would increase.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of ability it is.”

There’s no need to distinguish between magic, sorcery, or power.

If it’s a type of mystery that contains the mystical, it can be freely analyzed, imitated, and handled.

「The Magic Sage」

That was the innate talent of ‘Baek Seung-woo’.

Having fully bloomed that talent, I could imitate any magic or power.

So it was natural for me to win this fight, but “Bephar” was more persistent than I thought. I grasped the principle of how his power worked and applied it to my skills, but it only served to offset his power.

Rather, he threatened me by extending his fierce fist straight out.

“Bephar” also knows how to use his body well, and his skills are outstanding.

Perhaps the pure method of handling the body can be selected from about 100 people I have known so far.

Around the top 100.

It may be a slightly stingy ranking, but considering that most of the top 10 are old monsters who have survived on the battlefield for decades, it is a generous evaluation in its own way.

Having survived on the battlefield until becoming an old man.

That means they are that strong.

“You’re really great. Although you’re an enemy, I can’t help but praise you.”

That I evaluated “Bephar” in the same ranking as those old men.

He should be honored.

Because.

“But you’re still full of shortcomings. You. You’ve lived for hundreds of years, and that’s all? If you’ve trained for hundreds of years in that state, I can see your level clearly.”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you need to know what it means? It’s exactly what I said.”

If I had to explain.

“You’re a moron. How can a guy who has lived and trained for hundreds of years be so pathetic against a mere 20-year-old? You’ve wasted your life.”

The density of time differs from person to person.

Even if it’s the same 24 hours, some people may be working, while others may be developing themselves.

However, the difference between 20 years and hundreds of years had the power to make that density pale in comparison. No matter how fulfilling 20 years may be, you can’t do as much as you can in hundreds of years.

Mountains and rivers change every 10 years.

20 years is just a period in which mountains and rivers change twice.

On the other hand, hundreds of years is a time when mountains and rivers change at least 10 times. Depending on the first digit, it could be a time when they change more than 90 times.

But a guy who has lived for such a long time is on par with a 20-year-old?

Even in the element of martial power that he has built up throughout his life?

That’s why I say he wasted his life.

Your hundreds of years don’t even measure up to my 20 years, I am insulting “Bephar’s” life.

‘I hope this works well.’

I’m not very good at eloquence.

My scripts have always been written by my secretary. Of course, it’s not that I’m not good at it. If I work hard, I can do it to some extent, but I uniquely lacked the talent for speaking, which was not befitting of my position.

So it was uncertain whether my provocation would work.

I feel like I’ve provoked him so much, what if he develops an immunity to my provocation and doesn’t move the way I want him to?

Just in case, while being wary with my body.

While thinking about various plans in my head, “Bephar” moved.

“……Stay right there.”

He glared at me while chanting a spell that made me not want to stay still.

His appearance was like a bull snorting, ready to charge with its horns.

His facial expression clearly showed what he was thinking.

How can there be someone whose emotions and thoughts are so clearly revealed on their face?

“Staying still? There’s no way I’d just stand there and take it.”

“Stay still!”

“Do you want to hit me that badly?”

Then try to follow me.

I didn’t say it, but I looked at him with that nuance and smirked.

Squeeze!

I saw “Bephar” clenching his fist tightly as he met my eyes.

“Bephar” swung his fist at me as it was.

Whoosh!

His fist only cut through the air and caused a slight shock wave.

It didn’t reach me. He didn’t give up and threw his fist at me, and I dodged that fist again and smirked.

That’s how the tag game started.

Thump!

Rumble!

A violent tag game where every passing house or building was completely destroyed.

* * *

and “Bephar.”

There were few tall buildings in the downtown area where the fight between the two villains was taking place.

Thanks to that, there was little chance that someone would be watching from afar.

“This is a good spot. It’s just a 명당 [myeongdang – an auspicious site].”

Locationally, it was difficult for someone to watch their fight, but it wasn’t impossible. There were few tall buildings, but there weren’t none, and there was almost no chance that someone would be watching from afar, but it wasn’t 0%.

The one watching their fight was a woman who was well-versed in the local geography.

Leona Leonhardt.

“Both are stronger than my uncles. I don’t know about Dad…… but the black monster over there has no hope. I don’t know about the fox monster.”

The Nine Heavens Families. Among the families with high power and prestige enough to divide and rule the sky into nine, the Leonhardt family was a family that widely spread its status with powerful strength and speed.

She quickly and nimbly finished the given task, secured a good spot, and watched the fight. There were two children who couldn’t escape earlier, so I went to help them, but an attack flew from afar and killed everyone except the children and herself.

Thanks to that, she came here without the hassle of fighting.

‘I have no reason to intervene in a situation where one of them is going to die while fighting. Yeah, that’s right. None at all.’

If I intervened in that fight, I would definitely die.

That was the conclusion that came from watching their battle.

It wasn’t just a conclusion based on instinctive intuition.

Leonhardt’s symbol, the lion-like ears, perked up and collected a lot of information through hearing, and then came to a conclusion. A very perfect and valid conclusion.

“Oh well! I’ve done all the life-saving, so I should watch the fight.”

So Leona spread out a mat on the roof of a high-rise building.

The most interesting sight in the world: watching a fight.

Moreover, both are superhumans.

Both are villains who don’t matter even if they die.

Both are fighting with clear murderous intent, one is a newly emerging villain who has recently heated up the world, and the other is an old monster who has been famous for not being killed for over 100 years even among the demons.

Wow! How can I not watch this fight?

“If only I had some beer in this spot…… Ah, that’s right. I can’t drink because of that damn school, damn it.”

Leona is a freshman at Chilseong Academy.

In other words, she was a 17-year-old minor.

Before entering the academy, there was no one who would dare to tell her not to drink because she was a minor. However, if some professors with a certain tendency to be principled find out that she drank during the vacation…

Ugh, I don’t even want to think about what will happen next.

“Damn bastards. If you’re going to develop magic, develop something that’s helpful to society. What’s with developing magic that can tell if you’ve been drinking or smoking in the last three months?”

There were many strange professors at the academy.

Thanks to that, Leona was very sad that she couldn’t drink even with the best 안줏거리 [anjukkeori – snacks for alcohol] unfolding in front of her eyes.

But the sadness was only temporary, and she stared straight ahead at the hot heat that suddenly felt even on the roof of the high-rise building.

“What is it, that fox monster.”

Leona glared at the villain who was covering his whole body with black clothes and a mask.

That doesn’t mean the face inside the mask is visible or the mask is broken.

However, the purple magic that spread behind his clothes gave a big hint.

Goo-ooo-!

A mass of magic that looks like purple smoke.

They were in the shape of tails.

The amount of magic contained in that tail shape was so great that it emitted a strong light on its own, like the starlight in the night sky. Usually, there is one core that is the center of a magic.

Those lights had the same properties as the core of magic.

And such lights were shining in one tail, from at least dozens to hundreds or more. Leona was more impressed than shocked by the sight that even high-level magicians could not unfold and great magicians could only be shocked by.

“Our teaching assistant. He was quite an interesting person. He’s also working hard at his double life.”

Leona was sure who the villain who hid his identity was.

Our teaching assistant.

The tail that flutters like that fox tail and tempts people is the exclusive property of that family. In addition, the chilling aura that tempts people and at the same time seems to strangle them to death at any moment was an aura that was only felt from ‘him’.

Just as Leona was about to focus more and look ahead at the unexpected harvest.

Sasa삭-!

A sound of quickly moving feet from somewhere.

“……There are only those two nearby. Who is it?”

Leona recognized the existence of a third party.

As she guarded her surroundings and focused all her nerves on her senses, she could see a demon trying to do something to in the distance.

How should I intervene?

Even if he wears a mask, he is a villain, but the contents are clearly our school’s teaching assistant, so if he dies, it will be a big deal.

Even if I think about his identity.

Our family will also be hit from the outside.

“Shall I send a little help?”

Taptap, she sat on the roof, dusted off her dusty pants, shook her hands, and stood on the railing to jump off.

Right then, Baek Seung-woo’s movements looked particularly strange to Leona’s eyes.

Why is he running there?

There’s nothing there even if you go to that end…… Ah! That’s it.

I felt like something was going to be fun.

In the end, Leona sat back down on the roof floor and watched below.

That sight was a scenery that was only visible to Leona, who was looking down from above.
