The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician - The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician chapter 37

37 – Combat Practice Class (3)

“Is there anyone who wants to apply first?”

“……”

Silence.

Beware of the unknown. And with the scary rumors added, it was highly unlikely that any applicants would come forward.

The students looked the other way, avoiding Ern’s eyes. Then my eyes focused on one place.

No one signaled or took the lead. It was simply the result of collective intelligence. At this moment, everyone in Class B was of one mind.

Except for one person, of course.

“?!”

Lia, who felt a prickling sensation in the back of her head from all the stares, looked around in shock.

“Guys…?”

“……”

“….”

Ern said while laughing and watching the students’ strange battle of wits.

“There are no applicants, so I will nominate the candidate myself.”

“…!”

“….”

There was anticipation on Leah’s face and tension on the faces of her other students.

“Leah, come out first.”

“Ah.”

Despair and relief. There were mixed feelings of joy and sorrow at the professor’s words.

“…Yes.”

‘Phew….’

‘It’s okay if it’s not just me!’

‘Thank God!’

The students cried out in joy in their hearts.

“It will be over soon anyway. We’ll do it one by one, so don’t worry.”

“…?”

“??”

‘I’m more worried?’

Ern handed over her low level magic sparring protection device to Lia.

“Equip this to her left arm and imbue her with mana.”

After receiving her bracelet, Lia put it on and started it.

[Protection device for low-level magic sparring]

[Do you want to use it?]

Ern also used the item.

Once the linkage was completed, the magic circuit engraved on the device began to glow slightly.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, Ern asked the question again.

“What is the standard for distinguishing between strong wizards and weak wizards?”

A student in the audience responded by raising her hand.

“I think it’s a circle.”

“I usually think so. It’s not wrong. The more links you tie, the more powerful and diverse the magic becomes. But…”

Ern pointed to her own chest.

“I would rather be here.”

Her finger slowly began to rise and she pointed towards his head.

“I think this is more important.”

“Magic calculation?”

“Arithmetic is basic. In addition, how to counter the opponent’s magic, which attacks are effective, which direction to avoid when unable to defend… A wizard must know how to do all of those things.”

That was the standard of wizard solo play.

“I’m not sure what you mean yet. To demonstrate, I will limit the magic I use to 1 circle.”

Meanwhile, Lia got on the sparring floor and thought as she stood on the other side of Ern.

‘Isn’t it worth doing? ?’

The professor spoke as if he were going to use a high-level spell in my face, and then declared that he would only use 1 circle.

Lia had seen Ern use her magic.

The speed was slow and the accuracy was low.

‘… ‘You were fooled!’

The wizard in front of me was not the ‘lowest level adventurer Ern’ I had previously known, but the ‘Kagon Academy full professor Ern’.

Furthermore, my subject was combat practice. As he proceeded with the class, his face was full of confidence.

‘… There’s no way that image back then was real.’

Lia thought about Ern, who had taken on her request.

The sight of holding a staff, slowly aiming, and then firing a magic missile.

‘Speed and accuracy will probably be high. But the action of reaching out will be the same… ?’

Magic becomes a habit.

Some people snap their fingers, while others memorize calculation formulas with their lips licking their lips.

Leah decided to take a closer look at his arm movements.

“The rules are simple. We attack each other with 1-circle magic. If a counterattack hits me, the sparring is over.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll give up who goes first.”

Ern silently observed Lia looking at him with concentration.

Her choice was . A ball of fire appeared to her left.

-Chi Ik…

It turned off immediately.

Leah said for a moment she thought she had made a mistake in her casting. Otherwise there was no way she would have disappeared as soon as she cast the spell.

But she realized when she saw the little bit of water left on the floor.

‘Water element magic?!’

“It’s my turn.”

“!”

The blue light headed towards Lia’s face. Her missiles approached her at unstoppable speed.

‘Ah.’

It’s late.

-Pass!

There was no time for her to close her eyes.

Leah watched her magic crumble into shards of light before her eyes.

The magic missile was oxidized into mana by the protection device.

‘Why is this….’

I gave her a verbal warning so that it would be easy to avoid, and then I shot her in the face, but I didn’t know that I would get hit like that.

Lia felt very unfair.

With just his facial expression, it seemed as if Ern was saying, ‘Why can’t I avoid this?’

‘I was deceived again… !’

When she was casting, the waving of her arms was also acting!

“Hmm. Anyway, as you just saw, the magic sparring protection device is working well, so you can rest assured.”

Ern spoke to Lia, who was feeling unfairly treated.

“You died once.”

“….”

“Avoid this time?”

Lia, who had her nerves on edge, was able to avoid her attack.

‘Counterattack casting-‘

An arrow of mana flew again. She narrowly dodged it by turning her body to her side.

‘I have to do it…’ !’

Lia rolled on the floor of the sparring hall.

-Pagak!

There was the sound of a magic missile hitting the floor next to her ear.

Lia rolled a few more laps.

Ern’s attack showed no signs of slowing down. She knew in her head that she had to fight back, but she just couldn’t think through it.

She has to do magic calculations, but all she had to do was dodge the missiles and it was taking all of her concentration away.

As Leah was busy running away, she was sure.

‘The professor hates me!!!’

-Mr. Ern. Since you are talented, I think you just have to work hard!

She was also the source of trouble for what she said back then. Her mouth was empty.

“Now we will do multicasting.”

“Huh??! Sleep-“

“Oops!”

‘The professor really, really hates me!!!’

While Ern was showing off her skills, she glanced at the other Class B students who were watching.

A suffocating tension was rising between them.

As I watched my friend’s desperate struggle, I felt my stomach tingle.

‘It’s working well.’

Her purpose was to scare the students. She succeeded in Class A, Class C, and even Lia’s Class B.

Her first class could have gone smoothly. But she boldly decided not to do that.

The future combat training class was scheduled to be difficult.

Ern decided that in order to do that, it would be better for her to make an example now.

At first, she’s nice to you, but then the next time she starts acting up, she’s like, ‘Oh, it’s getting hard?’

But when she proceeds to the second lesson after she has been trampled so cruelly, she feels like, ‘Wow, she’s a fairy!’

She was clearly going through a difficult time, but she was unaware of it.

Is she overworking the first graders? What is difficult for students?

It was none of Ern’s business.

She had to somehow raise the named characters. In particular, Lia had nothing to say.

However, if she only picks on them, she does not live up to the Academy’s value of ‘equality’.

The solution was simple. All she had to do was roll with it.

It was the completion of a world where no one was discriminated against.

[Protection device for low-level magic sparring]

[Current durability: 27%]

Erne thought that just like when she played the game, others would be able to easily figure out the remaining protective liquor rations of her protection device.

But when she investigated, it wasn’t.

The box containing the protective device also included an instruction manual.

『Magic sparring protection device manual』

『How to check the remaining spell: After giving magical power to the magic circle 57-A circuit, use 4-C to check mana fluidity… 』

Ern read just up to that point and threw away her paper.

The system was truly convenient.

‘Should I finish it soon?’

The last one had to have a big impact.

The purpose of her first class was not only to train students.

Still, I had some learning goals.

Teaching through your own body what a real magical battle is.

To be able to experience what it means to experience real combat.

These two were announced to students in advance.

But there was one thing Ern did not tell them.

It was about realizing what it feels like to be powerless in the face of overwhelming power.

This was a kind of training to develop mental strength.

Compared to the boss monsters you will encounter later, this was a small task.

Ern’s vision was filled with . Dozens of attack spells filled the air.

The students looked at the absurd number of magic in shock.

Leah, who was just about to get up from rolling on the floor, froze when she saw the breathtaking sight.

“……”

Overwhelming quantity. This was impossible to avoid. Her helplessness washed over her.

“Ah…”

Magic is flooding in.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around her head and closed her eyes. Then he braced himself for her shock.

Lia’s last thought was nothing special.

‘Ah, I really got caught by the professor…’ .’

-Pabababak!

The students couldn’t help but fall into worry as they watched the magic scene.

Protection devices had clear limits. If you attack like that, your life could end during defense.

Then, Lia could have been really hurt by the remaining attack magic.

[Protection device for low-level magic sparring]

[Current durability: 0%]

But the worries turned out to be unfounded.

As soon as the last Hit the protection spell, the light contained in the item went out.

“……”

“It’s over. Well done.”

Lia got up from the floor.

Although she was very excited, her school uniform was surprisingly clean.

I wonder if the sparring grounds were originally kept clean and well maintained… Or, I couldn’t tell if the friends who had taken the class earlier had put their body and mind into cleaning the floor themselves….

“Who’s next?”

“……”

“Let’s just go in the order we sat. Let the student next to Lia come out.”

“Hi!”
