◈ Episode 527 Esmeralda (2)
The déjà vu of Precognitive Dream.
In the form of a boy, his ability is to transform the landscape he sees into the future he desires.
Of course, it is not omnipotent.
There is no creative power to create something out of nothing.
It’s just about erasing what exists.
However, its ability to erase the existence itself, regardless of the opponent’s strength, could be said to be the strongest among all members of the family.
but.
[There is no end. how.]
Déjà vu kept erasing what it saw with its eyes.
Every time his gaze lands, the steam golem that looks like it’s been stamped out of the factory disappears like cotton candy that melts into water.
Even so, the reason Dejavu was perplexed was that the number of steam golems being created was far greater than disappearing.
The cause was Brino.
Machine parts were created around Brino and assembled at a rapid pace.
In an instant, the parts formed a skeleton, the frame was mounted, and it was reborn as a finished product.
Chi profit.
A bronze golem that moves with blue eyes shining from its eyes.
Steam gushes out violently from the cylinders on both shoulders.
The golem, which reached 3m in height, boasted considerable intimidation as it was made of metal.
It took Brino less than two seconds to create such a golem.
Literally every blink of an eye, the parts are assembled in the air and the golem is completed.
“oh my god.”
Even Elisha couldn’t help but marvel at this strange sight.
She knows about a teacher named Brino.
He is from a commoner, has a gentle personality, and specializes in magic engineering.
As much as he entered as Seorn’s teacher, his ability had already been proven, but his presence was inevitably faint.
It is even more so when you consider the lineup of teachers who came in at the same time.
In fact, Brino did not stand out too much among the new teachers.
The warm appearance and gentle personality without any angularity added to that impression.
‘The teacher Brino… … .’
He had the upper hand against Dejavu, who displayed unbelievable strength.
It was Dejavu’s eye that erased even 6th tier magic just by looking at it, but it was not enough to erase all the endlessly charging steam golems.
It was the so-called difference in affinity.
It is a dream of deja vu that erases what it sees regardless of how strong it is, but what can be erased at once is limited.
You can erase one thing at a time.
Even there was a time gap of about 3 to 5 seconds between erasing.
Brino, which produced countless golems like a factory in a shorter time, was the perfect counter to such déjà vu.
‘but. Ms. Brino also looks a bit overwhelmed.’
In the first place, it was the first time using dream in such an unfamiliar environment.
I’m enduring it now, but it won’t last long.
Elisa immediately raised her magic to assist.
Of course, the target is Déjà Vu, who is stepping back and erasing the golems.
The boy’s eyes were on the golem, but he knew that Elisa Willow was after him.
The déjà vu of precognitive dreams can see the future.
That’s why I saw all the magic Elisa used and where and in what form it came from.
‘But so what?’
Is it algebra to see the future?
The sky is collapsing, but just because you see the future, can you survive the falling sky?
If you are not looking at the very distant future, but looking at the temporary future.
It was enough to block the report or launch an unavoidable attack.
[this.]
Dejavu knew that, so the gentle expression slowly hardened.
The transparent eyes looked at Elisa, who was imbued with magical power.
His dream of erasing the most dangerous enemy was thwarted by an intruder who intervened.
Chunk. Chii profit!
The giant golems obsessively cover Déjà Vu’s vision.
The golems that were willing to become Elisa’s shields disappeared by the power, and in the meantime, Elisa was able to complete her magic.
“Let’s see if we can stop this.”
6th tier original magic.
[Falling petals in paradise]
Pink flames exploded from Elisa’s fingertips.
Upon reaching the critical point, the diffused mana split into nine, each aiming for déjà vu in different directions.
Dejavu’s expression hardened.
It was because he had seen all the trajectories of the pink stems heading.
[I’m not aiming for a direct hit.]
The place the trajectory is heading is exactly around you.
It was clear what it was aiming for.
Since he knew he would avoid it anyway, he was planning to sweep the range all at once and strike.

Kwagwagwang!
A huge explosion tore through space as pink flames erupted.
It wasn’t just a one-dimensional act of destruction.
The nine magic powers diffused and resonated with each other, continuously causing explosions in succession.
Whoo!
A shock wave exploded and a gale raged.
Elisa stared at the hazy cloud of dust with a subtle smile.
Inside the dust cloud, the lingering reverberation of magical power was still lingering in real time, continuing the explosion.
“It would be nice if you could die right here.”
It would be too optimistic and greedy to wish for that.
I didn’t think I would be able to knock it down with an attack like this in the first place.
But time could be bought.
“Mr. Brino. Are you okay?”
“Huh, huh. Your president.”
“thank you. Thanks to you, I live.”
“Oh, no. There’s nothing wrong with what I did. Rather, I just got help.”
Elisa looked up at the golem created next to Brino.
Although not an expert in magic engineering, she had basic knowledge.
From Elisa’s point of view, the steam golem that Brino made was very similar to the one she had seen in real life.
“How did you make this?”
“I just wanted to make it, and it worked. Thanks to the specificity of Dreamland.”
“Wouldn’t it be easy just by imagining it? Unless you remember everything that makes up a golem.”
“that… … .”
Brino smiled shyly and said.
“Because I memorize all the types of parts.”
“… … Is that all?”
The number of parts needed to make a steam golem alone exceeds 10,000.
Moreover, considering that it was necessary to engrave a circuit to supply energy to the golem through magic stones, dozens of experts had to stick together just for the production.
Even for them, it is impossible to assemble a golem without a blueprint.
But Brino did it alone.
It is said that there is no physical action, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole process is kept in the head far beyond the level of an expert.
“Even with my eyes closed, I know everything about the golem’s materials and how and how to assemble it.”
It is true that he was able to come as Ceorn’s teacher because he had exceptional talent.
I hope it was like this
“… … You are amazing.”
“Heh heh heh. Thank you for the compliment. It’s an insignificant gift, though. I heard a lot of bitter voices from people around me asking why I memorize those things.”
Elisa shook her head.
“It is not an empty word, it is a sincere statement. The people who said that didn’t have eyes to see.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“That golem. Can you keep making them?”
“I want to do that, but I feel like it.”
Wrinkles appeared around Brino’s eyes, as if his head was pounding slightly.
“I guess I was overdoing it a little while ago.”
“This is something I can’t do for a long time.”
“yes. Shouldn’t we run away now that the boy’s eyes are covered?”
“There is no point in running away. They showed up knowing where we were, so even if we ran away, they’d come after us right away. Considering the ability to disappear just by touching the line of sight, we will rather suffer if we withdraw like this.”
Elisa instinctively felt it.
That there is no way to beat déjà vu unless it is now.
So it had to end here.
“But how?”
“With a short-term battle, we have to put an end to it. teacher. Besides this normal industrial steam golem, can you make a new golem?”
“What if it’s a new golem?”
“Student Julia did that. Here, if you just imagine, you can achieve more than reality.”
“then… … .”
Elisa nodded towards Brino, who remembered something.
“A steam golem that could not be made outside and exists only as a theory. Wouldn’t you like to try making one?”
At those words, an intense flame burned in Brino’s tired eyes.
Even Elisha, who had spoken these words, was surprised at the spirit, even though it was just a moment, and her shoulders trembled.
“Something that no one has ever created, that has been dismissed as just a fantasy… … You mean you can make it?”
For the first time, a warm feeling formed on Brino’s face, which was usually filled with a gentle smile.
Elephants usually only eat grass, but did they say they are most frightening when angry?
Today’s Brino was just like that.
Could it be because the switch was turned on? Even Elisha flinched for a moment at that tremendous spirit.
It was then that Brino, who had fallen into joy, regained his reason.
“But if you do that, you won’t be able to keep up with the golem’s spawn rate.”
Brino was also aware of this while dealing with Déjà Vu.
The time from when Deja Vu’s ability is activated until the next one is activated is only about 5 seconds at the longest.
In the meantime, if you don’t cover the sight continuously, you will be swept away by a force that can neither defend nor evade.
It was Brino’s golem that could do that.
A human-sea warfare that creates more golems than the speed at which the opponent’s ability unfolds, endlessly blocking their field of vision.
It was the best way to attack Deja Vu.
“If I keep making golems and putting pressure on them… … .”
“no. You can’t win that way. We will not be able to withstand the endless war of attrition and we will be defeated.”
Dejavu has a fairly good defense.
Wasn’t he still fine even in the aftermath of the shelling that Elisa fired several times?
There were a lot of strange things about that little body that seemed to have it.
“Probably, an unusual power is protecting the body.”
“Are you saying there is more?”
“That little boy sees the future. It’s not that far off, but that’s enough to let you know what your opponent is doing. It evaded all of my magic.”
In fact, Dejavu lightly evaded Elisa’s attack.
It was something I could do because I knew where and how the attack would come.
But if it’s that strong, why is it necessary?
“I was fine with the aftermath of my high-ranking magic, but I avoided the weaker check magic.”
“I guess you were trying to avoid being directly attacked.”
“that’s right. Secondary attacks do not take damage, but direct hits do not. It must be the kind of force that must be hit directly.”
Especially when you see him backing down while struggling against Brino’s golems.
The way to defeat Déjà Vu would be to use physical strikes with sufficient power rather than magic.
Elisa was so sure.
“Well, to sum it up, it means that the opponent sees the future, has magic resistance, and erases anything they see.”
“yes. After organizing it like that, it makes no sense at all.”
He’s an opponent who sees the future and erases everything he sees, but that strategy is also a physical blow?
For a magician, it’s an atrocity.
If you insist, even a knight would get caught in his eyes and disappear before approaching.
I want to win by any means like this.
“We have Miss Brino, right?”
steam golem.
A field that opened a new horizon for magic engineering by combining magic, golems, and mechanical engineering.
However, wizards tended to look down on steam golems, saying that they contained more science than magic.
Its potential for the future cannot be ignored, but the mainstream opinion is whether it will be comparable to magic.
Because of never being able to become a major, how much did Brino feel bad about it?
“Ha, but.”
That’s why I couldn’t be happy even if the plate was laid like this.
Rather, fear and worry over whether he could do well.
“Do not worry. Because other teachers, including myself, will attract attention by endlessly attacking.”
That’s more of a burden.
Timid Brino couldn’t say anything more here.
Then Merylda intervened between the two.
“Will it be okay for a while? I know you’re having an important conversation right now, but there’s something I need to tell you.”
“As much as you like.”
“Thank you, President.”
After receiving permission from Elisha, Merilda said to Brino.
“Mr. Brino. I understand that the current situation is very burdensome for teachers. To be honest, I would have done the same.”
“Miss Merilda… … .”
“Still, if I’m the teacher Bulno that I’ve seen so far, I think I can definitely do well.”
“Why?”
“Well, this job is about making the coolest steam golem, right?”
Brino’s eyes widened as if he had been hit in the back of the head by those words.
“Throw away those burdensome thoughts about who you have to protect, or whether people’s lives are at stake, and focus on just one thing. Trying something you haven’t done before. Teacher Brino completes something that will really last a lifetime, something that existed only in my imagination.”
Merilda said that while glancing at Brino’s expression.
Then he raised his eyebrows.
“Looks like you’ve made up your mind.”
“… … Please buy me some time.”
Merilda and Elisa shrugged at that determined voice.
He’s the one with the key, so tell me.
“Did everyone hear?”
The teachers, who had been unable to intervene because of Elisha’s fight and only watched, reacted to those words.
Saying that I had to be a bridesmaid for someone was enough to hurt my pride, but no one uttered words of dissatisfaction.
Even that Chris Vennimore.
“It’s about buying time. Isn’t this easy enough?”
Rather, he corrected his glasses and spoke confidently.
Just in time, the explosion of magical power subsided, and Dejavu appeared intact inside.
He shed tears as he watched the professors staring at him with challenging eyes.
[Sad. A life that still resists meaningless things.]
“It’s meaningless. Didn’t you almost get hit a while ago?”
Elisha sneered at Dejavu and raised her magical energy.
The teachers around them also prepared their own magic.
Seeing that scene, Dejavu distorted her transparent eyes for the first time.
It’s like being annoyed.
* * *
[ha ha ha. This is a really funny situation.]
Mirage in her daydream stared at Esmeralda as her body gradually faded.
A spirit of darkness that absorbed all the attacks it inflicted and made it its own.
Against her, who grew stronger the more she fought, Mirage’s body was full of marks from being eaten by beasts.
[I was called a monster by someone, but the world was small after all.]
Esmeralda’s beasts slowly approached Mirage.
Mirage, who intuited her end, looked up at Esmeralda and opened her mouth.
[monster.]
