How to Survive at the Academy - How to Survive at the Academy chapter 243
Velbrok subjugation (11)
All the swept away monsters became flesh and scattered, and the high sky came into view again.
Lucy looked at the sky with her eyes fading. He was on the verge of losing consciousness, but even pretending he knew that Bell Broke had a valid hit.
There are very few people throughout history who can wield the highest elemental magic.
And, there were many cases where even the highest level magic was a siege magic that was barely cast while preparing for days and nights.
To cast such a large-scale magic by one’s own is truly a journey that seems to deny the science of magic itself.
Nevertheless, Velbroque doesn’t fall.
Velbrok’s scales, which have a certain resistance to all kinds of magic… almost incapacitate even the highest level magic that goes beyond common sense.
As much as it was the large-scale elemental magic that Lucy did with all her might, Velbroque also let out a roar of pain. But all I did was feel the pain.
The group of monsters that covered the sky disappeared for a moment… but eventually, a new group of monsters is covered by the summoning circle that Velbrok has called again.
Even with a single blow with all her might, Lucy’s efforts become meaningless in such an instant.
And, the Great Sage Sylvania, standing upright on the broken spire in the Living Plaza.
She appeared with one swipe of her gigantic staff, dispelling the high-ranking magic ‘Space Curtain’.
Its Aspect Magic that twists space and hides in its crevices, transcends virtually all laws of physics, allowing it to temporarily drain any attack.
If there is a downside, the casting time is very long, the range is narrow, and it is difficult to judge the external situation easily because you are also trapped between the curtains of space. In other words, it is crouching in one place with your eyes closed, so it is easy to be attacked when you just dispel the magic.
Nevertheless, the absolute defense ability to be safe from any attack is an advantage that can offset all the shortcomings.
From the magic of Lucy, who is naturally swept away by anyone, she has survived without a single scratch. It made no sense to discuss its power by itself.
And look down at Lucy from the top of the Broken Spire.
Lucy’s white blouse has already lost its original color and is dyed red. Only the ends of the sleeves or the hem curled into the skirt remain as traces of the original color.
The ends of the skirt are also torn, and the white knee socks do not maintain their original shape as they are worn out.
And, as always, in those dazed eyes, hostility begins to emerge.
The way he looks up at Sylvania with strength in his eyes has a kind of willpower.
Lucy looks up at Sylvania and says, as if crouching and sleeping in the corner of the bachelor.
“The speed of conversion of horsepower.”
Lucy, born with a natural sense, catches the gaps in Sylvania only then.
Sylvania Robester is a pioneer of the Aspect Magic, a rare genius, and one who achieved magical achievements that no one could match.
The same is true in the field of combat magic. Natural magic power, fast calculation speed, and proper determination.
In the field of duel magic, as she already has abilities that are second to those of great men… It’s hard for Lucy, who is already exhausted, to handle it.
However, normal magical power and Aspect Magic are completely different in nature.
If you want to draw down magical energy to deal with normal elemental magic, you have to scatter and destroy all of that magic and draw out new Aspect Magic. It is the pinnacle of inefficiency.
For that reason, it is difficult to use Aspect Magic and Normal Magic at the same time.
Even if it seems that there is no difference in speed to a normal wizard, there is a subtle shift in the battle between the best wizards of mankind.
It’s a small gap where you can barely see the fragments only after giving and receiving dozens or hundreds of sums… but Lucy Meryl noticed it after only three or four sums.
Sylvania Robester’s Aspect Magic is a cheat method that ignores all aptitudes and irrationally suppresses enemies, but… it’s not without flaws.
If you use elemental magic, which is difficult to respond to, and force defense, then take advantage of the opportunity to cast Aspect Magic, you may have a chance to win. Ed was able to insert the dagger into his shoulder because he used his death as collateral to create a break in the magic conversion.
If you fight by strength, there is really no chance of winning anymore.
All that remains is skill and sense.
And Lucy Meirl, who was born with the blessing of a star, is far beyond the realm of ordinary people even in her skills and senses. He quickly devises a strategy to subdue Sylvania, then raises the magic of his body.
However, there is very little magic left in the body.
I’m exhausted just with the magic that I poured out to temporarily neutralize Velbrok after giving and receiving a few moves with Sylvania.
I get a headache when I try to cast even a single lieutenant spell, let alone high-ranking magic.
In perfect condition, Lucida was able to implement dozens of high-ranking magic circles like a meal. Realizing how cornered he is, he frowns on himself.
The shadow of death climbs Twenty-two on Lucy’s back.
The end of life.
If you want to survive and run away, now is the last time.
If you want to go further and face the enemy, you must risk your life.
A life-threatening crisis.
A word too far from a strong man like Lucy Meirl.
However, that blonde, fallen nobleman was wearing a weight that he wore like a meal. From the danger of losing his life at any time, the shadow of this man who has lived with a clenched fist is layered over Lucy’s back.
There is nothing that cannot escape. It’s not really a style that cares about pride or honor.
But, run away from here… I think it’s not polite to the man… Lucy Meryl doesn’t even think about it.
The battle relies on skill and senses by raking up and raking up the running out of magical energy with teeth.
Basic wind magic, six or seven ‘wind blades’ fly towards Sylvania.
Sylvania snorts and swings her staff to neutralize them all.
The firepower of high-ranking magic is needed to make evasive maneuvers meaningful. The basic magic never touches Sylvania’s body.
However, Lucy didn’t care and swung her arms as it was, expressing the basic fire magic ‘ignition’.
The flames that rose around Lucy obscured the view. Then, the foundation land magic ‘soil wall’ was manifested, and it hid itself between the rising walls.
At this point Sylvania noticed.
Lucy doesn’t really have any magic left anymore. Even the lieutenant’s magic, which can be manifested casually, has to be used sparingly.
The basic magic that has been rampant since before is proof of that. That Lucy Meryl uses basic magic. It’s like a small crossbow arrow coming out of a giant ballista.
Lucy thought as she ran across the mud wall.
──I can’t win.
──Probably, you will die here.
In that case, you should at least take Sylvania with you.
Velbroque, the devastating catastrophe, said Ed Roth-Taylor had a way to stop it.
However, I have never heard of Sylvania Robester. The resurrection of the Great Sage Sylvania was entirely outside of Ed Roth-Taylor’s calculations.

Magic duels are basically a firepower fight, but if you go into the details, there are a lot more areas of calculation.
And, the basic premise of calculation in a duel is to put one’s own safety first.
If you jump in with the intention of throwing your life away, it means you are out of the realm of rational calculation.
In other words, you will be able to outwit your opponent.
Only once.
If only he could create a gap to put a blow on Sylvania with his own life as collateral…
If you can hit a vital point in that way… you can at least get rid of the beginning of a disaster. The stake is Lucy’s own life.
At the end of the day, someone else will have to take down the Velbroque, but…
Lucy doesn’t doubt Ed’s words. The valve lock will be resolved somehow. If so, your role is also clear.
“Wow, uhh…”
With a smiling or crying face, Sylvania lands from the spire towards the square.
Now that Lucy Meryl knows that she doesn’t have much power left to resist… there’s no reason to hold back.
The mud walls are tangled like a maze.
They are designed to make the opponent wander even a little, but such a goal does not work for the strong.
– Bang!!
The level of the earthen walls expressed by basic magic will be shattered just by pouring magic power.
Lucy’s labyrinth, which was layered with flames and mud walls, was instantly neutralized, and Lucy, who was limping and running with blood, caught his eye at a glance.
Sylvania raised her arm, unleashing elemental magic of ice to deliver the final blow. Already Lucy has little power to resist.
It was the moment when the ice spear was slammed into Lucy’s body.
Lucy’s body was shattered and disappeared.
“…?”
People are creatures that spill blood and internal organs when they are pierced by an ice spear, and do not break apart like mechanical parts. It was welcome in the first place.
A wise Sylvanian would not fall into such a one-dimensional trap.
A girl who has almost lost her reason by being eaten by madness. Being a Sylvania focused only on smashing the enemy in front of her, Lucy did not take into account the fact that Lucy was also good at her quickness and improvisation.
The reason for blocking the view with earthen walls and fire was just to buy time to install new traps in the gaps.
Realizes the basic freezing magic ‘ice knife’ and makes it rise from the ground. An illusion of magic is engraved on the shiny surface.
Lucida doesn’t have enough magical power to use proper high-level illusion magic. That’s all I can do right now to make a bait using catchy skills. Rather, there is a possibility that high-ranking phantom magic can be easily detected by high-ranking wizards like Sylvania because the aftermath of magical energy remains strong.
For that reason, he tries to deceive the enemy by somehow drawing out the remaining magical power as much as a rat’s tail.
No matter what anyone says, this is the fighting style of the underdog.
Tricked, ran, sanded their eyes, picked up stones and ditched them, ripped their heads off, nailed nails, bit their thighs…
A battle that attempts to fill the power gap with ingenuity and trickery is something that a person like Lucy would never experience in her lifetime.
Because Lucy Meryl lived her whole life as a strong person. Because dipping to the size of her power is the fight she’s had her whole life.
So, this kind of fighting style… Lucy didn’t realize it herself.
– Kwaang!!
Lucy, bleeding profusely and hiding with camouflage magic, stands up from Sylvania’s back.
Sylvania scatters magical energy behind her in amazement, but it was also just an illusion of Lucy engraved on her ice sword.
Lucy… was floating above Sylvania’s head, hiding in the rising smoke.
It looked like a dead body, but it was definitely alive. Lucy’s hand, which jumped out through her smoke, had already gathered the magic she had scraped to the floor.
On the trees in the hut camp, on the roof of the hut, on the altar at the top of the right mountain, on the Roth Taylor mansion, on the battlefield…
The fight of that man who sat blankly and looked down.
At some point, they are engraved in Lucy Meirl’s eyes.
Things filled with bright eyes as if full of starlight.
It’s not the battle of honor as a wizard that Lucy learned from Gluck as a child.
It’s not like a duel between the wizards of the tower and set up an etiquette.
Lucy Meryl has been a strong man all her life.
Ed Roth-Taylor lived his whole life as an underdog.
Since they are two people who have seen opposites as if back to back, their way of life and their way of fighting are inevitably opposite. Shouldn’t have been able to understand each other’s position
–So, Lucy had to be defeated horribly by Sylvania.
In front of the Great Sage Sylvania, Lucy, who is completely exhausted, is in a position of weakness. The picture of Lucy, who could not understand the position of the weak, was crushed by the difference in power and defeated, was predictable by herself.
However, the world doesn’t know what it is.
The fact that there are so many unknown variables that you don’t know what the future will be like is perhaps the best part of life.
Glockt’s back, sitting in an armchair, warming himself by a bonfire.
Isn’t there a place to take a nap? The decision that day I went to sleep in a wooden shelter I found by chance while walking through the northern forest.
Then a relationship came about that turned around and made Lucy Meirl who she is today.
In a series of strange and unknown coincidences, Lucy Mayryl felt ironic and gathered her magical powers.
– Whoa!
Frowning her brow, Sylvania turned her head back to Lucy. As she tried to wield the gigantic staff, she noticed that the young magic in Lucy’s hand was dark red.
Aspect magic.
This is one more twisted number here.
The fact that he has even brought out the Aspect Mana, which consumes much more mental power than normal mana, is the end of this story.
It is because using Aspect Magical power while already pushed to the limit is close to suicidal. I never thought I would use Aspect magic while pushing myself to the limit at this time.
Is the manifested magic a ‘time prison’? For Lucy, who had to subdue Sylvania with one blow, she had to implement suppression magic anyway.
Once you get hit with anything, you’re sure to be subdued.
However, that is… when targeting an opponent who cannot use Aspect Magical Power.
It is ridiculous to discuss Aspect Magic in front of Sylvania, Master of Aspect Magic.
Disperses the raised magical power, and instantly raises the Holy Spirit’s magic.
Aspect magic can only be countered by Aspect Magic. If you quickly disperse Lucy’s Aspect magic, only death is left for Lucy, who no longer has the energy to fight.
Like that, it was the moment when I was trying to deal with the Aspect’s magic by raising it.
– aa
Lucy Meryl’s hands are landing for Sylvania, and the young… that reddish energy disappears.
After a while, the red energy completely disappeared by the elemental magic that Lucy drew.
“What…?”
Sylvania doubted her eyes.
If you try to convert from Aspect Magical Power to Normal Magical Power, it creates an inefficient process in which you have to mess up the accumulated magic.
For magicians who reached their peak like Lucy or Sylvania, the time difference was less than 1 second. That momentary gap of maybe half a second is not a significant flaw against most wizards.
However, it’s a completely different story in such a desperate battle.
Forcibly narrows the distance, and draws it into a battle of wits. Lucy’s strategy of grabbing and digging into the opponent’s flaws was very similar to Ed Roth Taylor’s fighting style, no matter what anyone said.
However, how did Lucy achieve such a rapid magic conversion?
Even Sylvania, the master of Aspect Magic, opens a very slight gap, and Lucy’s ability to convert magical power without allowing even that moment to happen is theoretically absurd.
However, Sylvania sticks out her tongue when she sees Lucy’s arm exposed.
In the first place, it didn’t even show Aspect magic.
What Lucy has manifested is ordinary magic. There was no magic conversion process, so it was much more than the amount of Aspect magic that Sylvania drew.
What appeared to be dark and red magic is not magic.
Affected by the blazing fire magic flame, Lucy’s magic also appeared only dark red.
──Lucy set her arm on fire. Just for simple tricks.
It’s been a while… but a smudged burn caught my eye. It is probably a scar that will not go away even after a lifetime. The rush of pain will not be normal either.
A firm decision. Even two fakes using illusions in the first place are traps dug to make the situation more urgent and lead Sylvania to take hasty actions.
Three ice spears gathered around Lucy with only the magical energy gathered in this short time.
The strategy may have been Ed Roth Taylor’s method, but it’s possible because Lucy is able to draw out this ruthless lieutenant’s magic within a short period of a few seconds with basic magic response.
Sylvania didn’t have much time. Because of Lucy’s fake, the Holy Spirit’s magic was drawn out, so it took less than a second to gather the magic.
There is a limit to the Aspect Magic that Sylvania had gathered in that brief moment.
However, if you use it to defend against Lucy’s Ice Lance… you can avoid fatal injuries.
Although you cannot express high-ranking magic, you can exercise a certain amount of physical power by simply radiating the collected Holy Spirit’s magic.
– aan
All this flow of thought is completed in less than a second…
Lucy’s ice spear smashed into the square, and a huge amount of dust rose.
*“Wow, whoops…”
Lucy’s last attempt was made by all means available.
The last blow he tried to even burn one of his arms… unfortunately it missed.
“Heh heh… heh heh…”
Sylvania frowned and held her breath.
The ice spear pierced in front of her nose was forcibly twisted under the influence of the Holy Spirit’s magic and stuck in the empty ground.
But the ice spear would have ripped his head apart if the orbit had been slightly less deviated.
Lucy’s goal didn’t work out in the end.
One last variable that Lucy didn’t take into account. It was just ‘luck’.
In order to widen the attack range as much as possible, we drew out all the magic and realized three ice spears, but in the end, the space twisted by the constellation magic succeeded in breaking the trajectory of the ice spear.
Lucy, covered in blood, was strewn across the floor.
Sylvania frowned and looked at Lucy.
Sylvania may exceed Lucy in terms of the amount of absolute magical power, the ability to operate, and the size of the power itself.
However, even in the most extreme situations, the improvisation and improvisation that make up the environment just to take victory. A battle style that tries to win by forcing even a 0.1% chance.
That’s not something you can learn from a wizard.
Sylvania shook her head and again pointed her magic wand to Lucy, who was lying around.
He must never be left alive. The moment that thought filled his head, Lucy’s blood-red eyes flashed brightly.
Lucy, who suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at Sylvania. Gripping her teeth, she tries to draw her magic again. Now, only weak magic flowed out, which is embarrassing to even call it magic, but Lucy uses that magical power as a support to get her body up again.
Lucy raised her head difficultly with her rags draped in her school uniform and stared at Sylvania. There is still fighting spirit in the sound of breathing in hustle and bustle.
Lucy thinks.
Even when death approaches, I have no intention of running away.
Even when the fear of death crawled over his twenty-twenty body, the man always stood upright.
The same goes for you.
I have received a life, so I give my life for the man. In a way, it’s a story that can be taken for granted.
Even 10 seconds. No, just one more second… if you could tie Sylvania’s feet, that would make the man’s chance of surviving even 0.1% more certain.
He casually throws his life away as a stake.
That decision has never changed.
Even as she watched Sylvania unleash her magical powers, Lucy stood upright without shaking.
I wonder if there is any more resistant means… but that seems to be the end of it.
Your vision becomes distant in the bright magical light. Lucy gently closed his eyes.
I can feel the warmth of the bonfire.
Glockt’s appearance from under the duvet is now understandable.
At the end of my life, at the end of that life I thought was just a meaningless life…
Still, it was good to be alive. If you can monologue that… how meaningful it is in itself.
I think I finally understood the meaning of those words.
I met a man and died for him.
If you could recall that it was a meaningful life, how valuable would it be.
For that reason, a sly smile could flow out of Lucy’s mouth.
Like that, my vision became distant.
*- aah
However, the sight you see when you open your eyes is not the afterlife.
The reality is that there are still people who still bleed and somehow clench their teeth.
“Listen, Lucy.”
In the wreckage of the shattered spire, when he realized that he was in the arms of a man who was as bloody as himself… he was already losing his mind.
However, Lucy knows the smell of the man holding her.
In the smell of blood, the grassy smell that reassured Lucy so much rises.
“No matter what, never accept death…”
Sylvania’s magic was temporarily neutralized by Yenica Palerover’s spirit magic. It was a spell she used urgently, but just taking it, Yenica had to bite her teeth.
When Lucy opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ed, who ran up to him and rolled on the floor to snatch her up, followed by the group blocking Sylvania.
It was Ed’s party who had escaped from the royal residence.
“You held up really well, Lucy… Really… You held up well… Thank you… But…”
Ed, who hugged Lucy, who had become seven years old, was already covered in blood.
It was difficult for both of them to be considered alive, but… somehow they were still alive with their teeth clenched.
“At all costs, resist death…. death… never accept it…”
Lucy opened her eyes and looked up at Ed.
Ed endured the pain in his body, but he hugged Lucy and stood up.
“We escape to the Ophelis. Reinforcements… they will gather there…”
Saying that, Ed bites his teeth while grabbing Lucy, who is drooping because of the lack of strength in his entire body.
Lucy looked up at Ed like that and immediately burst into tears.
Is it because he was relieved to find out that Ed was alive?
Or was he somehow relieved that he was still alive?
Perhaps, as if it was both… Lucy stopped crying while grabbing her distant mind.
The blood and tears of his face were terrifying, but Ed wiped Lucy’s tears away.
