Episode 627
Seeing Wodanazâs sincere resentment, Giselle felt something in her head snapping.
âNow Iâm fighting with my sister because of someone!â
âfor a moment. Moradi. Do you fight too?â
ââ¦okay.â
âWhy? Are you trying to stab me in the back while saying weâre fighting together? Have you prepared any traps in advance? If itâs a trapâ¦â
Giselle gritted her teeth as Lee Han made a very blatantly worried face.
âIâm fighting with you in case youâre left behindâ¦â
âAh. Arenât you exaggerating too much?â
âItâs not an exaggeration, so calm down. So, why the hell did you uselessly flatter your sisterâ¦â
Lee Hanâs face became serious as he listened to Giselleâs explanation.
Hearing the story of the northern knights that Ziclin destroyed, he felt that the problem was bigger than he thought.
If I made a mistake, I might have to walk with crutches for the rest of winter vacation.
âIâm a guest from outside, but donât you control your strength?â
âIâm sorry, but I canât believe it. My sister says she canât control her strength well.â
âNo, why canât the person who cuts the Imoogiâs neck adjust the strength?â
âHey, be careful. There are things everyone canât do.â
Giselle didnât allow any criticism about what happened with Giclin.
Lee Han was lost in thought.
âYouâre doing too much. Youâre trying to kill me just because you said you wanted to see swordsmanship.â
This was Lee Hanâs mistake.
I should have noticed in advance and been careful when I was forced to make an appointment after saying letâs eat!
âMoradi. Didnât you say you would fight with me?â
âokay. That way, unnie will be able to control her strength a little more.â
âWhat if I grab you and hold you hostage?â
Alcicle, who was listening by the side, looked at Lee Han in a puzzled way.
do you mean that?
But Giselle answered seriously.
âI thought about that too, but itâs counterproductive to my sisterâs personality. They will kill you right after they take me away.â
âAs expected.â
ââ¦â¦â
Alcicle wondered if he was the only sane person in the room.
I looked to the side and saw Eandurde munching her sardines.
âHey, arenât you the only one who thinks itâs weird? Does that sound strange to you too?â
â?â
Eandurde looked at the penguin beast as if he was talking about something.
* * *
An empty wasteland with nothing in the sky or on the distant horizon.
In the dream he hadnât seen in a long time, Lee Han knew who had called him.
ânice to meet.â
The black book given by the skeleton headmaster fluttered in the air.
It was a black book that always taught Lee Han new magic in his dreams whenever he faced adversity or hardship.
If nothing else, it was clear that Headmaster Skeleton was considerate of Lee Han in this respect.
If it wasnât for this black book, Lee Han could have died once or twice in Ein Lorgard.
âBut now that I think about it, if it wasnât for the principal, wouldnât it reduce the amount of hardships that would be suffered by about half?â
Farak!
The black book attracted Lee Hanâs attention by fluttering as if to stop thinking.
âThe Black Book. Tomorrow Iâm fighting a strange knight and I need help. Teach me useful magic.â
Parala Rock!
The black book flapped the paper as if to say not to worry.
Seeing that, Lee Han suddenly became worried.
âBy the way, isnât it close-combat magic?â
The magic that the black book taught me was basically the magic that the skeleton headmaster created.
It was only natural that the black book itself was something like an artifact created by the Headmaster Skeleton.
The problem is that all of those magics are biased toward melee combat.
or . In addition to â¦
At least the non-combat magic was highly versatile, but it also felt like a magic developed for close combat.
It seemed that melee magic would not be of much help in fighting a knight like Zicline now.
Would an empty cup be full if you put a drop of water into it?
Farak!
The new magic that the black book opened was .
ââ¦â¦â
The black book fluttered as if telling him to learn quickly, not paying attention to Lee Hanâs expression.
* * *
Giselle, who had trouble sleeping last night, grumbled over bread.
I still havenât decided how to fight when I face my sister today.
âMoradi. I had a good idea.â
ââ¦?â
Giselle was puzzled when Lee Han, who appeared at the restaurant, said something like that.
âWhat?â
âCan you use magic when sparring?â
âIt doesnât matter this time.â
It didnât matter if Wodanaz or Giselle used magic, as it was a sparring that was conducted because they wanted to show Ziclinâs swordsmanship to Wodanaz, not a swordfight against swordsmanship.
âWhen will the sparring end?â
âIn case of this sparring⦠I think it will be over if I think that my sister has shown enough of her swordsmanship.â
According to the rules of the match between the knights, the victory conditions were also varied.
Sometimes they really risked their lives and dueled until one of them died, sometimes they fought until the first wound was inflicted, and sometimes they set a special goal and it ended when that goal was achieved.
In this case, it was close to the end.
âokay. It seemed so.â
Lee Han nodded as if he had expected it.
âItâs fine if Ziclin-nim finishes it. So I thought of something like this. Moradi. Unlike the knights, we can use magic, right?â
âyesâ¦?â
Giselle listened intently to see what Wodanaz was trying to say.
âLetâs use magic as much as we can and then lie down saying weâve exhausted ourselves.â
ââ¦!â
The knights who had to face each other with their swords were supposed to hear Ziclinâs screams the moment they lay down.
Given G-Cleanâs naive personality, the excuses of someone who gave up without a fight couldnât work.
But wizards are a little different.
What would happen if, after using magic, he lay down saying âI have no magicâ?
â¦It was a little too filthy, but Giselle was tempted.
âsurely. My sister doesnât know magic, so it might work.â
âyes?â
âBut the problem is not completely solved. There wonât be time to use magic for now.â
Excellent knights did not give time when dealing with wizards.
Few beings were as threatening as a wizard with enough time.
Like the other knights, Ziclin would probably rush in as soon as the confrontation started and press them like a storm.
It was free to use magic, but the only thing the two could use was swordsmanship under such strong pressure.
âyes. We have to keep as much distance as possible.â
âI donât think I meant to bait you while you widened your distance. And that doesnât work on my sister.â
âMoradi. How do you see me?â
Lee Han protested to his friend and explained the tactics he had prepared.
Judging from G-Cleanâs skills, it was a suicidal act to cast magic while clumsily widening the distance as usual.
No matter how much power he didnât use, he wouldnât be able to widen the distance that much.
I had to focus only on running away.
âWe are two. You have to take advantage of the numbers. I just learned agility enhancement magic a while ago, so Iâll carry you and run away as much as I can. You use magic at Ji-Clean.â
âI see⦠Wait a minute. None of the ranged magic I have is like that.â
âwhat? What did you do without learning ranged magic?!â
Giselle was taken aback by Lee Hanâs point.
It was true that most of the White Tiger Tower students were relatively weak in long-distance combat, as most of them were strengthening or granting combat magic.
But the other towers didnât fire magic as randomly as Wardanaz said now. It was a very difficult task in itself to use magic.
âDonât you know that throwing magic is no joke, and doing it wrong really burns you out?â
âah. I see⦠If you do something wrong and really burn out, itâs a turn of events.â
Lee Han, who was worried, nodded as if he couldnât help it.
âThen there is only one way.â
â??â
* * *
Standing at the gymnasium, Ziclin showed a faint surprise on his face at the unexpected sight.
The younger brother was standing there holding the boy of the house of Wodanaj in both arms.
âGiselle. Now this isâ¦â
ââ¦Itâs a strategy.â
âI know what the strategy is. Since the sorcerer himself cannot concentrate the spell while increasing the distance, isnât Wodanaz trying to cast the spell while Giselle runs away?â
â!â
Instead of being surprised to see this bizarre figure, the two were surprised to see G-Clean guess right away.
âAs expected, Mr. Ziclin. You see right away!â
When Lee Han, who was cradled in Giselleâs arms, shouted, Zicline nodded as if it was nothing.
âMages donât just use outright surprise tactics. If you take into account that you use magic, you can predict it.â
âindeed.â
âAre you thinking of flattering yourself in this position, you bastard?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Giselle was stunned by the sight of Wodanaz flattering herself in a horizontally stretched state.
However, Lee Han was confident.
âMoradi. If youâre shy here, itâll feel even weirder.â
âItâs strange enough already.â
âHow are you?â
âI think there are still enough orders. As soon as it starts, blow it with all your might. Because you canât give your sister a break.â
Before the confrontation began, Lee Han cast all of the strengthening magics he could cast on Giselle, such as and .
This was the only thing to speed up Ziclinâs expectations.
âI have to go through it.â
âThen letâs begin.â
The moment Ziclin said âdaâ, Ziclin was already in front of him.
Giselle desperately began to increase the distance by exploding magical energy on her legs.
My body was so light that I couldnât compare it to usual, but I didnât feel relieved in the slightest.
Catch up!
âPark Mu, spread!â
Fog spread around Giselle. It was a mist of enchantment that made it impossible to focus properly when viewed from the outside.
However, Zicline closed his eyes and chased the two with his senses, correcting their direction. Lee Han and Giselle both put on tired faces.
âDarkness sweep away!â
Lee Han spread the dark wave as if striking a wide area.
Even if it lacks attack power, due to the nature of the dark element, it will definitely have the effect of temporarily stopping the feet of the rushing knight.
However, Zicline held the sword in one hand, clenched a fist with the other free hand, and fired a punch into the air.
The dark waves were offset with the sound of the air ripping. He created such power just by striking with his magical fist.
âIs it a real monster!?â
Lee Han was shocked, but there was no time for that. He gritted his teeth and recited the next incantation.
âGather around, rotate!â
Clumps of water gathered in the air and began to spin rapidly.
The water beads loaded with the maximum rotation possible now flew in with a heavy sound.
Zicline swung the sword she hadnât pulled out yet with the scabbard and shot down the water beads. Although the impact would not have been normal, his posture did not shake at all.
âamazing!â
Lee Han admired G-Cleanâs swordsmanship.
Moradiâs swordsmanship was also an ever-changing double swordsmanship, but Ziclinâs swordsmanship was even more spectacular, as if claiming that it was a real family swordsmanship.
It was to the extent that I couldnât keep up with the change even if I only spread it with one sword.
âSharkhan Gonadaltes. come out! Rise up, warriors made of bonesâ¦â
Lee Han wondered if he should summon even Perkuntra in the worst case.
It was nonsense to summon Perkuntra in practice sparring, but the knight running right in front of him had the power to make him think about it.
If you keep narrowing down like thisâ¦
Tak!
Finally, after pursuing Giselle, Zicline extended his sword and stopped in front of his brotherâs forehead.
And praised in a gentle voice.
âThey both did well. We are delighted that it exceeded our expectations.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦???â
The two were perplexed.
Giselle came to her senses first and asked.
âIs this the end?â
âThatâs right.â
âYour arms and legs are still intact, so youâre saying itâs just over?â
âGiselle. What kind of story is that? If a guest from outside hears it, they will misunderstand it.â
ââ¦â¦â
