Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius 307

Test (2)

Students are flying.

“That looks like it really hurts.”

“Wow, they can’t even do a proper landing and are falling on their backs.”

The students in the lecture hall were observing the scene in real-time.

A giant screen had descended where the podium used to be, broadcasting the lesson taking place in the field.

“Seriously, he’s so malicious.”

“He’s adapting his attacks to match each student’s strengths and still winning.”

“Their pride must be taking a huge hit.”

A spear for the student wielding a spear.

Magic for the student chanting spells.

A fist for the student throwing punches.

He countered according to the means each student used.

And he didn’t stop at just countering; he knocked them unconscious, clearly demonstrating the difference in power. Eventually, the students realized they couldn’t accomplish anything with their individual strengths alone.

The students who were knocked out or sent flying far away picked themselves up and formed parties of ten.

“Anyone here use a shield? If not, I’ll take the front line.”

“If you can hold out as much as possible with defensive swordsmanship, I’ll attack with a spear from the mid-line.”

“I’ll provide magical support from the rear.”

“Seriously, not having any defensive measures is so frustrating.”

The students used what they had learned in previous classes as a foundation to distribute roles on the spot. Instead of attacking recklessly, they employed tactics and launched various attacks, but.

“Even a hastily formed team has too many openings.”

“Huh?!”

“Hey! Block the back!”

“No, block the side first! Fire is coming!”

All sorts of magic and weapons rained down on Seungwoo.

It was still clumsy coordination, but they had learned for a few months at the academy.

They launched textbook attacks.

Restricting the opponent’s movements with weapons, and using magic to grab their ankles or attack. Not bad for first-years, but.

Still, I had to point out the flaws.

“Too much distraction. In a group of this size, two voices are enough.”

Because multiple students were talking at the same time.

Confusion continued to arise in the command.

As a result, their responses were always a step behind.

Two people speaking are just right.

More than three voices in a group of ten only cause confusion, and if the commander is alone, there is no one to point out incorrect judgments.

It was very obvious common sense to Seungwoo.

But not to the students.

They had never trained anticipating such a chaotic free-for-all. As a result, the students were distracted by the magic flying in from the left of their group, and everyone fell to the punches aimed at their backs.

“……Hmm.”

Thud!

The students with large bumps on their heads collapsed to the ground.

Seungwoo thought as he looked at the unconscious students.

“It’s not entirely satisfactory, but it’s definitely better than before.”

He countered the attacks of the individually separated students.

Attacking with the same means, but with a level above the students’ attacks. In the process, the students learned something, countering with cleaner attacks.

There were improvements when they formed a group and attacked as a team, but it was definitely better than before. This one team should be enough.

Good.

“Okay, next.”

Seungwoo clapped his hands as he spoke.

Clap─!

The crisp sound traveled across the field and reached the lecture hall.

The students watching the video being broadcast on the giant screen carefully watched Seungwoo’s actions when.

───!

Once again, the space next to the platform distorted, and a portal opened leading to the field. Students floated up and were transported through the portal.

The students who had been sitting down landed back in their seats.

Thud!

They slammed their heads on their desks.

They were unconscious and unable to control their bodies.

Even so, the impact of hitting their heads on the desk should have startled them awake. The unconscious students remained collapsed with exhausted expressions.

“Gulp.”

“That… we have to do that too, right?”

“Of course, we do.”

The students watching the scene swallowed and fell silent.

“I definitely came because I heard it was Assistant Instructor Baek Seungwoo’s lecture.”

“What kind of great mage’s class is this? It’s completely haphazard!”

“……But you guys saw it too. Everyone’s movements and attacks became more streamlined and without unnecessary actions than before.”

Yes, they all grew while enduring violence in the name of a lesson.

The growth was minimal, but it was definitely visible to the naked eye.

However, there were many students who didn’t want to learn by getting beaten.

“I, I don’t want to!”

“I don’t want to take the class either!”

Seeing the unconscious students, students dropped out of the lecture one after another.

However, leading students without the will to learn is also the duty of a teacher or assistant instructor. Seungwoo was going to do his best in his duty now.

Thus.

“I clearly said ‘next’.”

The space next to the platform is getting bigger and bigger.

The unstable space magic gradually began to open the entrance in a stable manner. The entrance, which was large enough for an adult man to pass through, was now large enough for more than ten students to pass through at the same time without any problems.

“Do I have to forcibly bring them in?”

The space continues to grow.

As if a living creature were opening its jaws, the students who couldn’t stand it anymore finally.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

“Yeah! This isn’t right.”

“Hey, guys……!”

Thud!

They pushed ten students sitting in the second row into the portal.

Some of them didn’t have enough strength just to push, so they kicked them with their feet! Thus, Team 2 arrived in the field.

“Ouch, that hurts…….”

“Is everyone okay?”

“I can understand the ones who pushed, but who the hell is kicking us?!”

“Let’s see when we get back, you bastards.”

As soon as they arrived, the students rubbed their butts.

It was very painful because they were forcibly pushed and fell on their butts, and someone kicked their butts to tell them to hurry up.

“Everyone’s here.”

“……Ah.”

“……I don’t want to take the class.”

But their pain.

“Everyone, take up your weapons. If you don’t have one, you can create one with magic.”

It’s just the beginning.

* * *

“……They’re really weak.”

That’s what I said as I looked at the students.

The falling leaves fluttering in the autumn breeze and the students’ situation were similar.

It was truly like falling leaves in the autumn wind.

“Um… Assistant Instructor. I, I dare to ask a question, risking being rude.”

Just then, a student who hadn’t fainted carefully raised his hand.

Apparently, the rumor that I hate asking questions at unauthorized times has spread far and wide, so they are asking questions carefully. Well, I would usually be like that, but.

Most of the students were unconscious, so a minute or so would be fine.

“Good. Speak.”

“T, thank you!”

“It’s nothing to be thanked for, so skip the greetings, what’s your question?”

“Ah, I was wondering what number student we are. I’m also curious how many are left.”

It’s already been over an hour since the class started.

But there were still many students who hadn’t taken the class.

“Why are you curious about that? It’s not related to you.”

The student who asked the question was standing in front of me.

No matter how much time is left. He is destined to take my class to the end.

So, it is right for the students who are still in the lecture hall in good condition to watch this scene, rather than the student in front of me.

It had nothing to do with this student.

“But… I’m curious.”

“…….”

I didn’t answer, giving him a look that told him to keep talking, and the student who caught the signal continued.

“Assistant Instructor’s class should be fair so that all students can take it.”

In other words.

We can’t be the only ones to fail.

Now that it’s come to this, shouldn’t the entire student body experience it together? The students who were sane in the lecture hall protested.

Maintaining sanity means not fainting.

In other words, it means students who have not yet taken the class.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! If you say that, the assistant instructor will speed up the class and our turn will come soon, you’re dead!”

“……Even if you don’t say that, our turn will come anyway.”

“Why are you thinking so pessimistically? All the first-year students are gathered in this lecture hall. If we’re lucky, our turn might not come!”

“Look around.”

“Why?”

“How many guys around us don’t seem to be unconscious?”

In response, I checked my classmates who were sitting properly in the lecture hall.

There were many numbers standing around, but when I counted them one by one, I realized that.

“……There aren’t many?”

“Right? It’s already more than halfway done.”

Hundreds of students were watching the giant screen.

I didn’t notice because all the students sitting around me were doing the same thing, but in reality, the number of students who had finished the class had already exceeded half.

It wasn’t easy to count them one by one because there were so many students, but.

I remembered the number.

“It’s not a very great question, but okay. To answer you kindly, you are the 1,470th student.”

“A, already? But 1,470th means……?”

What else could it be?

“It’s the number of students who have fainted in order.”

“Yes? Ah, Ack!”

“Now that the question is over. You have also proven yourself through the class, so faint.”

Thud─!

I hit the student’s head with the back of my hand.

I didn’t really hit him hard.

I just gave him enough shock to knock him out.

The human body is more delicate than you think, so if you master the knack, you can easily knock people out.

Of course, to the students who don’t know that knack.

“B, did you just hear a thud from his head?!”

“Seriously, isn’t his head broken?”

“Should we run away quickly? The class isn’t important right now.”

“Yeah, let’s live first.”

It was a scene that was enough to confuse everyone.

The students in the next turn really wanted to run out of the lecture hall, but interest beyond fear was stimulating the students.

The students who took the class all fainted, but they showed more skill than usual just before fainting. An opportunity to become stronger.

As a student attending Chilseong Academy, I could easily tell that such opportunities are rare.

“I, I can’t do it!”

But scary is scary.

The male student who really didn’t want to faint covered his head with both hands.

The portal was already open, and even though they were urging the next 10 people to come in, the male student covered his ears as if he didn’t want to hear it.

Thus.

“Shut up. Get out of here.”

“Huh?”

Someone flew the male student away.

I didn’t push him or kick him, but since he was sitting on a chair. I flew him into the air towards the portal while he was sitting on the chair.

“Aaaaaaaaa!!!”

The male student flying towards the field drawing a beautiful parabola [a curved line].

Listening to his sincere screams, I reached out to the male student.

Whirr─!

Flames formed in the air, instantly growing huge and enveloping the flying male student and his chair. The student who touched the flames didn’t have his skin burn, nor did he fly through the flames and beyond.

The huge flames grabbed the student like a net.

“……What is it? Is it an illusion?”

The student who barely regained consciousness examined the flames that had saved him.

For a moment, I thought it wasn’t a flame.

Whirr! Whirr─!

The chair that flew with the male student had already become firewood and was burning.

At that moment, the male student was speechless. Terrifying magic control to the point where you can’t think of the flame as a flame.

Is he really a great mage [a powerful magic user]?

The thought that he, as a student, was no match for him flashed through his mind at that moment.

“As expected of you. To be able to spread a net so casually.”

“…….”

A noble tone.

The voice of a girl full of nobility was heard.

The male student turned around. He realized that the girl was the one who had flown him like this.

“You! You!! How can you fly people like this?”

“Ah, it’s you. That’s because you were disturbing the class. This is your fault? You’re an academy student, but you’re afraid of getting hurt, and you’re missing out on an opportunity to get stronger, do you think that makes sense?”

Isn’t it a bit much that the other nine are being harmed because of you?

The male student couldn’t open his mouth at the girl’s words.

She hit the nail on the head.

As the male student remained silent and all the other 9 people came over.

A familiar-faced girl approached me.

Close.

Very close.

I spoke her name as she got close enough to almost touch my nose.

“Isabelle.”

“Hello, it’s been a while.”

The blonde girl. Isabelle.

It was really a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
