The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician - The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician chapter 39

39 – Combat Practice Class (5)

Ern taught the class as usual.

It was my fourth class, so I was pretty used to it now.

What changed was that the expressions of the students walking into the sparring hall became increasingly stiff.

If the first Class A showed anticipation and excitement, now Class D came in with open caution.

Ern just wanted to do it.

“Who wants to try first?”

It was Princess 1 who raised her hand. Throughout her freshman year, she was the first applicant.

‘It’s rather good.’

I didn’t know why Arestia volunteered first. It could have been about setting an example as a royal.

Anyway, it was a good thing for Ern.

It was obvious that if the princess behaved properly first, the rest of the students would quietly follow.

Ern said after going through the process of preparing for the sparring.

“Let’s attack first.”

“Yes, Professor.”

What she chose was .

It was easy to avoid.

This was because there was a slight time lag between the creation and firing of magic around Arestia.

After Ern pulled her body out of her tracks, she immediately counterattacked. The magic missile was aimed precisely at the princess’s neck.

“!”

Arestia was caught off guard. This was because she could not find any sign of casting in Erne.

-… !

-Wow!

-?!

Other students watched the scene in disbelief.

-Pass!

The magic missile was blocked by the protective device’s defensive technique right in front of Arestia’s neck.

The shock sent ripples throughout the audience. The sounds of students murmuring could be heard little by little.

The sight of the attack magic being directed at the royal family was truly unrealistic.

-I couldn’t believe it.

-… This is okay, right?

This was something that should never have happened in the first place.

The fact that she wasn’t hurt didn’t matter. The act of attacking itself was high treason.

“Everyone, come to your senses.”

“….”

“This is Kagon Academy.”

On the other hand, Ern had no hesitation in using her skills.

He knew that Arestia hated special treatment.

And it was bound to happen anyway that her other students would spar with her.

Even in the original work, he attacked her as a classmate, but he never got into trouble.

If she watches, she will hear something similar to nagging from Arestia.

Moreover, even without the protective items on her arms, she was safe from external attacks.

‘Even if I tried to break through the epic item he has right now, I couldn’t break through it.’

Could it be that the palace left the princess alone without any safety measures because she was crazy?

There was a part of me that believed in it.

“Arestia. Do you understand?”

“…Yes!”

She seemed momentarily surprised by the attack, but quickly came to her senses.

In fact, it felt like her face became more vibrant than before.

‘Good attitude.’

***

Students did not just roll over in the same manner.

If you keep avoiding magic, you will get the hang of it.

Compared to the chaotic beginning, I became a little more calm and my movements became more refined.

That was the starting point for Erne to use multi-casting.

Ern was worried about something from a while ago.

‘… What?’

Arestia was smiling.

At first, it seemed like a win-win mentality.

I thought she was feeling something like a competitive spirit, such as ‘I will avoid the professor’s attack’ and ‘I will counterattack and show a good performance’.

But as I continued to look… That wasn’t it.

‘Why… ?’

The expression was only faintly revealed. A situation where you can continue to observe her from the front and only notice her ern.

‘Why… Enjoy… ?’

Ern hoped she was mistaken. But no matter how much she thought… That was a different kind of smile.

Arestia rolled and rolled on the ground as several blue trails appeared.

Ern had always seen a nervous and frightened expression.

However, her expression was still bright as she just got up from the ground.

It was the first time.

‘What is this….’

Ern began to become increasingly scared.

***

Arestia felt anticipation as she stood across from Erne wearing her bracelet.

The opponent is the first professor you encounter at the academy.

From No ble mt L dot c om

She was a friendly person who bestowed her goodwill and maintained that attitude even after hearing her name.

At first, I thought all professors would act like Ern.

But as she took the theory class, she realized that her prediction was wrong.

It wasn’t simply a matter of speaking style.

There were professors who used respectful language toward all students, and vice versa.

What Arestia felt was different was their attitude.

She didn’t get any special treatment.

However, they clearly seemed to be having a hard time with the princess.

Rather, professors were consciously trying to adhere to the school rule of equality.

Only then did Arestia realize that Erne was exceptional.

And she wondered if her Erne would show her attitude in class and at her entrance ceremony.

I’ve already heard all the rumors.

The combat training professor had already become famous for having no mercy toward his students.

‘How about it….’

If he had only been a talker, he would have been a little disappointed.

-Pass!

“…!”

The attack magic stopped in front of the neck.

At first, I had to spend time analyzing the scene in my head.

‘Really… Attacked….’

I swear, this was my first time experiencing something like this.

“Arestia. Do you understand?”

“…Yes!”

After that she scampered away, twisted her body and rolled on her floor.

Every time that happened, I felt a strange feeling.

Arestia had to always maintain her physical appearance, not only outside but even within the palace.

The royal family had to always be honorable and look down on the people from above.

She was now dodging magic in an unsightly manner.

Shame? Insult? I didn’t feel anything like that at all.

Rather… I felt a sense of liberation.

Arestia looked at Ern.

‘… ‘You’re serious.’

Her Ern had no hesitation in attacking her.

He was silently firing magic, following Arestia’s movements with cold eyes.

-Whoosh!

A magic missile passed through her hair.

A feeling of cooling in the liver.

But it wasn’t bad.

It was the first time in my life that I felt hostility. She knew it was a sparring match, but she had to do everything in her power to avoid it.

Of course, I have never been treated like this.

‘… ‘It’s new.’

Arestia rolled several times on the floor. Then, to get up, she raised one knee and touched the ground.

Ern was looking down at her.

In that unfamiliar composition, she felt something thrilling in her heart.

[Protection device for low-level magic sparring]

[Current durability: 32%]

‘… I guess I’ll just finish it quickly.’

Although there was still room for durability, Ern decided that she needed to pass the order quickly.

I couldn’t tell you the exact reason… For some reason, I felt like I had to do that.

.

.

.

The ending was decided.

-Wow!

-Isn’t that too much?!

However, Class D’s reaction was a little more intense than that of other classes.

If the other class was worried about their friend getting hurt, now they had to worry about the royal family getting hurt.

There were only two people in the sparring hall who were not nervous.

One of them was Ern, who accurately understood durability in real time.

‘Why on earth do you like it!?’

One was a princess facing dozens of attack spells floating in the air.

-Pabababak!

The low-level magic sparring protection device no longer glowed.

The sparring was over.

Her silky golden hair had become matted before she knew it.

“…Arestia. Well…Well done.”

“Thank you.”

She got up and straightened her clothes, then greeted Ern and returned to her seat.

-Clap clap clap clap clap

The students in Class D applauded without realizing it.

No matter how much we were classmates at the academy, we are royalty.

Actively participating in class without saying a word and devoting one’s whole body deserved respect.

“Next.”

-……

Of course, silence fell upon Ern’s single word.

***

The ensuing sparring went more smoothly than other classes.

Arestia set an example, but it cannot be done roughly.

All students participated actively.

[Class progress completed]

[Reward: 500P]

[Current points held: 27,500P]

Meanwhile, all the students left and Ern, left alone in the sparring hall, was troubled.

‘What….’

Even though she was included as a heroine, Arestia was always full of dignity. Except sometimes when he seems surprisingly indifferent.

‘But it wasn’t like this in the original?’

When I played the game, I sparred with the princess dozens of times as the male character ‘Rian Bellator’.

And it wasn’t the first time that they were attacked with an overwhelming difference in firepower using skills.

But her reaction today was unexpected.

‘The only variable is that I am a professor….’

He thought carefully about whether there was a big difference between sparring with a classmate and sparring with a professor, but nothing came to mind.

‘No way….’

At that time, a thought suddenly passed through her mind.
