Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 122

06. Midterm exam (17)

A blizzard rages.

The remnants of the two people mingled dizzy in the icy cold that would take away the body heat and freeze the hands and feet of an ordinary person.

Chasing and running away, chasing and running away.

Even if the spectators try to follow the two with their eyes, only afterimages are captured.

Yoon Seo-hee smashed all the flying icicles with her sword. Shattering ice shards created a scattering of light.

Even if she broke through the debris and blizzard and jumped toward Baek Ji-soo, she was transferred to somewhere in the stadium before she knew it.

‘Chit.’

It’s cumbersome to run away, but that’s it. Nothing will change if you keep running away.

The intense cold that took away body heat, and the colony of ice spirits and icicles, could not inflict a single wound on Yoon Seo-hee.

Even though her blizzard would take away Seohee Yoon’s physical strength, her physical stats were enough to last for several hours even in the cold, and even if her magic release was hindered, Seohee Yoon could use her elemental magic on her sword similarly to Aura. It was possible to shed

Even now, a yellow electric current was bouncing from the training sword she was holding. Even if she can’t compare to an Aura, if she touches her elemental magic reaching an S rank, whether it’s a ghost or a spirit, she’s just one hit.

Even if it is difficult for Yoon Seo-hee to catch up with Baek Ji-soo, who quickly runs away with a transfer, Baek Ji-soo cannot inflict a decisive blow on Yoon Seo-hee with such tricks. She just creates an infinitely long confrontation.

However, from the point of view of the spectators watching, it was a match full of spectacle.

“Ohh….”

“Awesome! Aren’t the standards too high?”

Also, from the spectator’s point of view, this match seemed to have Baek Ji-soo’s advantage. Yoon Seo-hee can’t even catch up with Baek Ji-soo and she can’t land her effective hit even once, because Baek Ji-soo keeps pushing Yoon Seo-hee with cold and icicle attacks.

It was like that when I saw it with my own eyes.

But Yoon Seo-hee was very aware of Baek Ji-soo’s condition.

‘It won’t last long anyway.’

A chronic lack of mana.

Unfolding her various magics one after another must have been quite a burden to her.

It is Yoon Seo-hee, not Baek Ji-soo, who gains an advantage over time in a long-term battle. And Baek Ji-soo knows that better than anyone else.

‘If it were me, I’d prepare a big one.’

A trump card capable of overturning this situation. Of course, Yoon Seo-hee does not know if Ji-soo Baek has such a means. Even though she uses strange magic, she is confident that she will not be surprised by anything that pops out.

In that case, as long as you endure that trump card, you will win.

Yoon Seo-hee constantly pursued Baek Ji-soo and forced her to consume her magical power, but on the other hand, she raised her vigilance and was wary of new magic.

‘… With this, we have to decide.’

Baek Ji-soo’s condition was as Yoon Seo-hee guessed.

In fact, Baek Ji-soo’s magical power was already close to its limit. In addition to summoning spirits by linking countless low-level and middle-level magic spells like dominoes, she was also overdoing it once per second to space transition that consumed her mana considerably, so this was a natural result.

Even if I had enough magic power, I could have maintained this state for hours. But she was getting short of breath, sweating profusely, and her head was spinning, signaling that her body couldn’t stand it any longer.

Enhanced ice spirits and space transfers are just to buy time.

The board had to be overturned. Even if it means squeezing out her remaining magic power.

Baek Ji-soo completed one of the techniques to the end even while repeating the space transition. And he cast her magic at Yoon Seo-hee, who was running towards him.

The highest level of magic.

Multiple space transitions.

And then, Seohee Yoon disappeared from the arena.

The spectators were surprised for a moment. However, it was not difficult to find where the missing Yoon Seo-hee went.

“… !”

She had moved out of the arena at some point.

General space transfer requires physical contact to move others other than oneself. But Baek Ji-soo didn’t have the confidence to get close to Yoon Seo-hee, who was moving quickly, much less stretch out her arms.

However, multi-space transfer is different. As long as it is within range, it can send the opponent anywhere at the will of the caster.

Of course, it is very inefficient to use multi-space teleportation, which can move dozens of people at once and consumes an enormous amount of mana, for the purpose of only moving one person from a distance. Because it doesn’t make any sense

If it weren’t for the game, it would have been.

“Oh… !”

Of course, there is a rule called off-field. The rule is that if you step on the ground outside the stadium, you are eliminated.

Yoon Seo-hee intended to break Baek Ji-soo from the front no matter what kind of magic she used, but Baek Ji-soo had no intention of confronting Yoon Seo-hee from the beginning. In a power battle, of course she would be at a disadvantage. It was Yoon Seo-hee’s failure to consider that.

The moment everyone remembered Yoon Seo-hee’s over-the-counter hand.

“Profit!”

Yoon Seo-hee did not give up.

Because, she hasn’t even touched the arena floor with her feet yet.

Yoon Seo-hee, who was transferred to a leaping posture with her sword stretched out in front of her, jumped into the air, stepping on her own feet in an instant.

“Haap!”

Tung! She twisted her back in that state and she used the elasticity to turn her around in the air. Yoon Seo-hee’s body spun around and landed swiftly on her floor.

Returning to the arena, Yoon Seo-hee let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew, that was close.”

Everyone doubted her eyes.

“… ??”

“What is that… ?”

She didn’t use her magic or skills to fly, she stepped on her own feet and twisted her body in the air to bounce back to the arena?

Min-seok Park, who was watching the game, let out a stupid laugh.

“No, not some kind of ninja….”

To a Korean Awakener, ninja was an unfamiliar expression, but now I couldn’t find a more appropriate word. Right now, even if Park Min-seok himself was asked to do the same thing, he didn’t have the confidence to do it.

What Ji-hyun Lee, sitting next to him, was thinking while looking at Ji-soo Baek, now Min-seok Park was feeling it while looking at Seo-hee Yoon.

As a referee, watching the game, Park Jin-hoo also swallowed saliva. She saw it with her own two eyes. That Yoon Seo-hee’s feet didn’t step on the ground outside her arena.

Then, she had no reason to stop the test.

“Go ahead.”

Mr. Park Jin-hoo told her about the continuation of her match in a calm tone.

Hearing those words, Baek Ji-soo’s heart sank heavily.

“Ha ha ha….”

Because now it really was the limit.

All the mana in his heart had drained out and was empty, and the circuits throughout his body were convulsing repeatedly. Every time she exhaled, her heart tightened and it was difficult to breathe because of the pain. It was a common symptom of magical exhaustion.

However, Baek Ji-soo did not give up.

She barely stood upright, supporting her trembling body with her staff. She and she looked at Yoon Seo-hee.

Although her focus was shaking and her vision was blurry, Yoon Seo-hee could tell.

It was a look in her eyes that showed her determination that she could still do it.

“… ….”

Yoon Seo-hee could not understand at all. Why are you even doing that? Isn’t that enough to get a good score on the exam? The two of us should have been confirmed for the top and second seats just by what we’ve shown so far. Do you want to beat me that far?

To be honest, Baek Ji-soo, whom Yoon Seo-hee has been watching, was a girl who had no idea what she was thinking except for her sense of purpose, ‘I will stop the end.’

Although I thought of her as a colleague and friend, she had a personality and appearance that was far from everyday life, and in fact, on the other hand, she felt a sense of distance.

Why is that? It’s not awkward when the three of her friends are hanging out, but when the two of them are suddenly left, the relationship becomes silent. It’s not that I don’t hate it, we always hang out together, but if you ask if we’re close, it’s awkward.

Yoon Seo-hee, with her unique affinity, she formed a certain relationship with Baek Ji-soo, but that was only between her passing by and saying hello to her.

Baek Ji-soo is not the type to explain his thoughts to others. He speaks only when necessary and is always quiet otherwise. I know he came back from the future to prevent the apocalypse, but he never told me what he was dedicated to preventing the apocalypse.

She doesn’t know why she sometimes looks at Yoon Seo-hee and makes an expression that reminds her of someone other than herself, and why she makes a vague and sad look at Kim Yi-jin. Because she never explained it.

Future knowledge is always future knowledge. There is no content about a person called Baek Ji-soo. She sometimes found it frustrating.

Yoon Seo-hee does not know Baek Ji-soo. What she thinks she She didn’t even know why she was doing this.

She couldn’t understand, so Yoon Seo-hee made her own choice.

Chang-Geurang! Yoon Seo-hee’s training sword fell to the floor.

“I will abstain.”
