Episode 30
EPISODE.15
Count Roland.
The count family, located in the southeastern part of the kingdom, is a historic wizard family that has produced war mages for generations.
Gordon Rolland is the second son of the Count Rolland family. There were two reasons why Russell remembered his name.
First, in the original timeline, he graduated from this academy with fairly high grades.
Maybe it was because of that, or maybe it was because he had a talent for earth magic.
‘A few years later, the king was also called to the Imperial Tower.’
And the second.
In fact, the second reason was the main reason why Russell remembered him.
‘After being summoned to the royal tower, all kinds of scandals and scandals he created… … .’
The second son of Count Roland.
The scandal that Gordon Rolland used his position and position to flirt with new young female juniors was one of the famous rumors among academy graduates at the time.
A few years after that rumor started floating around.
As if to prove that the scandal was true, a rumor circulated that he was dragged down to the estate by Count Roland.
‘Well, whatever happens.’
What we need to worry about here and now is not scandals.
The only thing that is important to consider is that he has the skills to graduate from the academy with excellent grades.
In fact, there were a few professors who had high hopes for him…
‘The opponent is bad.’
‘After all, my first opponent was Russell Raymond.’
The moment Russell was pointed out as an opponent, they let go of their expectations without any hesitation.
Their assessment was that no matter how outstanding his skills and talents were, they were nothing compared to Russell, whom Yeomtapju took note of and personally taught.
Gordon, perhaps aware of the professors’ thoughts, stepped onto the stage.
He pointed his finger at Russell with a confident expression.
“We don’t have time, so let’s start right away and finish quickly.”
As a member of the Delta class, he had never competed with Russell.
Perhaps because of this, he always thought Russell’s evaluation was exaggerated.
In fact, in the second semester, joint classes with Alpha and Beta classes began.
He also defeated the guys that Russell beat in the same way.
“Or would you rather admit defeat on the spot?”
“… … ?”
“I don’t know what your shallow water is, but it’s better than exposing the bottom and rolling on the ground.”
As he spoke, he tapped the floor with the toe of his shoe.
On the other hand, it was a warning of its own.
‘Russell’s talent is clearly flame-type magic.’
On the other hand, his main force was earth-type magic.
And in general, fire attribute magic did not have a good compatibility with earth attribute magic.
‘It’s not comparable to water attribute magic, though.’
It was not that easy to pierce solid rock and the earth with flame.
‘What if I could use magic that has the power to melt rock walls and rocky mountains and turn them into magma?’
No matter how much you think about it, it would be impossible at the student level.
‘I’ll put the rumors to rest by defeating you here, and I’ll get some points.’
Russell shrugged his shoulders at the guy’s clearly visible face.
‘I kind of know what you’re thinking, but… … .’
I had no intention of letting it happen to me.
If he was going to cause some strange scandal anyway, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take him down here.
‘There will be no more unexpected victims in the future.’
After thinking about it, Russell jumped up and climbed onto the training ground.
The rule of the test is that the battle begins the moment both sides step up.
“You are the one who came up even though I warned you. “Don’t complain later if you get sick.”
Pretending to have a conversation by spitting out words, Gordon raised his magic power.
‘First, build an earthen wall to block the attack…’
Afterwards, turn the earthen wall into several rock bombs and fire them at the guy.
Gordon’s magic, which was quickly simulating a series of processes in his mind, melted into the earth.
Quack, quack!
Part of the training ground distorted, and the whole thing started to erupt.
What it forms is the shape of an earthen wall.
But faster than he could complete the spell, Russell stretched out his palm.
Circle 3 wind attribute magic, Shock Wave.
A magic cast at a speed that is almost like chanting. A violent wind poured out along the palm of my hand.
The wind was concentrated on the unfinished earthen wall, and the shock wave that came with it shattered the earthen wall.
Rumbling!
As if that wasn’t enough, he struck the guy’s body violently.
Cough!
“Gagging!”
With the sound of pig urine exploding, his body flew out of the training ground.
It fell down and rolled miserably on the floor.

Boom, Kuta Dadang. dump.
Sand dust rose low.
Meanwhile, Russell returned the guy’s words exactly as they were.
“We don’t have time, so let’s start right away and finish quickly.”
It was an overwhelming victory, as can be seen from the relaxed expression.
.
.
Leaving aside the outcome that ended so simply, the battle of other students continues.
However, the eyes of the selectors and professors were focused not on them, but on Russell.
It was a situation where only one shot of magic made a strong impression.
There’s no way my eyes would go somewhere else.
The situation changed for the students as well.
The students of Delta and Gamma classes had been unable to acknowledge Russell’s changes and said they wanted to stick together.
The moment they made eye contact with Russell.
“… … .”
“Hmm.”
He quietly lowered his eyes.
‘No matter how much Gordon let down his guard.’
‘Still, it’s a blow.’
Among those present, no one was confident that they could overpower Gordon with one blow.
The students in Alpha and Beta classes shrug their shoulders as they look at the two classes.
‘it serves him right. ‘What did I say?’
‘You’ve experienced it yourself, so there’s nothing you can do, right?’
etc-.
Gestures that roughly convey that meaning.
Of course, it’s not like they had a particularly sharp method.
All I can do is hope that Russell isn’t chosen as an opponent.
Like right now.
bang!
A hot wind blew, and a student fell out of the gym with the shock of shattering the shield.
Russell returned to his seat, leaving him behind, and looked around.
Is it because the sparring has already been repeated several times?
The number of students remaining does not reach eight.
‘I guess that means it’s the quarterfinals.’
At that point, Russell checked the mission window.
[mission]
Selection of tops.
Show an overwhelming level of difference and gain recognition from the selectors.
Recognition from selectors 17/18
[compensation]
Lesser Magic Stone x3
The mission window is a little different from when it first came out. The recognition and number of selectors below were newly created after a total of 18 selectors were confirmed to be attending.
‘Of those, 17 were recognized, and the remaining one… … .’
The answer is obvious without even thinking about it.
Vermilion Ulsen, his expression was still indifferent.
It seemed as if he was not satisfied with Russell’s skills.
And, the one remaining number is -.
“Final winner, Russell!”
Even when Russell’s first place was confirmed, it was not filled.
.
.
After completing all final exams.
Russell, who returned to his room in the dormitory, changed his dusty clothes.
In fact, other than the dust on his clothes, I thought he suffered almost no damage.
‘Either mentally or physically.’
Although the battle was repeated several times, the training with Daria was more intense and difficult than dealing with the students.
Instead, one worry is just complicating his mind.
17/18
Russell sighed as he looked at the number that was still unfilled.
‘In the end, I guess I can’t fill this up.’
If so, this might be the first time I’ve failed the mission.
‘Did I do something wrong?’
Perhaps Vermilion did not want Daria’s disciples to increase any more.
Even if that’s not the case, it may have gotten ugly for another reason.
‘If I knew what the problem was, I would at least find a solution.’
This can’t even be done.
I felt somewhat resentful.
Russell bit his molars gently.
It was then.
The magic power nearby was shaking slightly, and a voice came and reached me.
[You couldn’t have already fallen asleep from exhaustion after fighting that much, right?]
‘This… … .’
A magic that allows you to convey your words to someone at a certain distance without moving your mouth.
The message magic of the 4th Circle is clear.
What’s even more surprising is that the voice heard from the message magic is Vermillion’s.
‘Why on earth?’
Are you saying that you are sending a message to yourself in the middle of the night when all the exams are over?
While I was tilting my head at that thought, one more time. The message magic flew.
[joy. If you’re awake, you’ll answer right away, but you’re going to ignore what adults say.]
A voice full of displeasure.
[What’s going on?]
[Stop talking nonsense and come to the training ground right now.]
[If it’s a training ground… … .]
The door must be closed at this time, right? As soon as that thought occurred to me, he sent me a message again.
[You wouldn’t say you don’t even know where you were just a moment ago, right?]
That’s it.
No further message magic was delivered.
‘It’s a training ground… … .’
Aside from the fact that the door is closed, why are they trying to call me out?
‘Should I not go?’ I thought about it, but then Russell shook his head.
In a situation where you think you haven’t done anything wrong…
‘It’s funny to avoid it.’
Because it will look like you are running away. Of course, he was not an opponent I could run away from in the first place.
‘There-.’
If he had intended to harm himself, he would not have made a move by exposing himself like this.
Not only did he not come as a selection officer -.
‘The location must have been decided outside the academy, not the training ground.’
Although he had many concerns, Russell eventually decided to go to the training center.
I don’t know why I’m dissatisfied with myself.
However, I thought that if I wasn’t going to cause any harm, I might as well confront it myself.
Sigh-.
The door to the training center we visited was not locked.
Judging by the fact that the lock was not broken, they were able to enter using a key.
As I entered, I saw a large man standing with the surrounding torches lighting up the area.
“You’re here.”
The voice became even colder than before, and eyes as sharp as daggers flew towards him.
He looked around Russell.
“No matter how much I look, I don’t know. “Master, what on earth was he thinking of accepting a little guy like you as his disciple?”
Tsk.
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue lightly.
“You may have guessed it, but I do not recognize you as my priest.”
“I have reached a level that is quite outstanding for my age, but that is probably all because of my teacher’s teachings and support. “The reason I was able to show excellent skills in the selection of the top was probably because I had a small talent that I acquired through my teacher.”
“Showing oneself against those who are much weaker than oneself cannot be called skill.”
It wasn’t just cursing, it was almost like verbal abuse.
It was a situation that could have made him angry, but Russell’s reason became cool-headed.
As my skills grew, my mental strength also grew along with it.
‘hmm.’
There are also some suspicious circumstances, so… … .
Russell, who was making inferences based on several grounds, wondered how he would respond. He decided on that attitude.
“Then how about testing it yourself? execution.”
The word death penalty was chosen as if it would provoke him or show off.
The response Russell decided on was literally a bold proposal.
“what?”
Vermillion asked in surprise, but Russell didn’t bother to answer.
He didn’t even ask to get an answer.
Soon, a burst of laughter bursts out from inside the large mouth.
“Haha, haha. Hahahaha!”
I held my stomach and laughed for a while, one moment.
His laughter suddenly stopped.
“good night.”
The smile that filled his face disappeared, and his tiger-like eyes gave off a sparkling light.
He clenched his fists with a blood-filled expression.
“Whatever you want, I will test it myself.”
Tdu-duk-duk.
