Episode 232
I felt joy in my heart as I realized the sudden situation.
I was lucky. The Guardians were visible from afar, and Kim Seon-woo and Choi Seo-yoon from the Korean Magic Academy.
Although it was not intentional, the guardian and himself ended up surrounding Kim Seon-woo and Choi Seo-yoon.
Moreover, looking at the guardian’s magic that can be felt from afar, it is probably close to S rank.
Luck monster.
Perhaps this situation was a golden opportunity to eliminate two of the main members of the Korea Magic Academy, a strong contender for the championship.
However, Kim Seon-woo had a calm face even in such an unfavorable situation.
I don’t know what his intentions are, but I felt confident in his attitude.
Do you really think you can take on both us and the Guardians at the same time?
—Kuaaaah!
Then the Guardian roared.
The muscles in his legs swelled and with a “pop!” sound, the guy’s body shot towards Kim Seon-woo.
But Kim Seon-woo was not flustered.
He calmly created several magic spheres and released them towards the guy.
Paang! Paang! Paang!
The Guardian crouched as the powerful attacks continued, unstoppable.
Soon it seemed like he couldn’t hold on, so he jumped back.
Stepped back.
Daria was momentarily impressed by Kim Seon-woo’s precise magic control ability.
Then I came to my senses and thought that now was my chance.
Now that Kim Seon-woo’s nerves were sold to the guardian, it was a chance to take advantage of the gap.
Woohoo!
Daria strengthened her body with magical powers.
At that time, I was about to run towards Kim Seon-woo.
“Daria.”
Kim Seon-woo called his name while turning his back.
Daria paused for a moment.
Would it be correct to say that I froze rather than stopped?
My body wouldn’t move as I wanted it to.
Kim Seon-woo continued to talk while still looking at himself.
“It’s not time to fight among ourselves. Don’t do anything you’ll regret. If you attack us now you can get us eliminated.
Do you think it will?”
Daria kept her mouth shut.
To be honest, I wasn’t confident.
Unlike Lily Rose and Luke, it was not possible to objectively judge the exact level of Kim Sunwoo’s skills.
But her instincts after seeing Kim Seon-woo’s battle video before.
Kim Sun-woo was telling me that he was stronger than those two.
… … still.
“… … You have to try it to know.”
“No, you can’t. “If you attack us, we will ignore the guardians and deal with you first.”
Daria felt like something was being said.
“Besides, this test is an individual competition between 5 teams. Don’t you know that if we fight among ourselves, only the other team benefits?”
It was an answer that made me agree.
There was a hidden rule to this test.
This is the part about battles with other teams.
If you encounter another team during the ‘Whale Long-Term Battle’ test, you can fight the opposing team.
And if you win the battle, it is possible to render the losing side incapacitated and eliminate them from the Holy Wu Emperor.
It was a fairly strong penalty. If you lose the battle, you’re eliminated.
But unlike defeat, victory had no benefits other than a moment of ‘survival’.
No points earned, next exam
There is nothing to gain.
Rather, if an injury occurs during the fight, it is a situation that only benefits the other team.
“More than anything, you have a reason to get to the finish line.”
Daria flinched.
“What did you just say… …
“Let’s talk about that later. Let’s deal with that Guardian first. It’s too much for us to handle on our own.”
Daria turned her gaze to her guardian.
After hearing Kim Seon-woo’s words, I regained my composure.
As he said, now is not the time to fight among ourselves.
It would certainly be beneficial to eliminate Kim Seon-woo and Choi Seon-yoon, but if they ignore the guardians and deal with themselves, they may end up being eliminated.
“What should I do? “There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with what they say.”
Mira, the first-year junior next to her, spoke to Daria.
“… … Let’s follow their opinion for now.”
An unexpected temporary alliance was formed.
Daria came to Kim Sun-woo’s side.
Seo-yoon Choi gave her a wary look, but Seon-woo Kim looked at Daria and nodded as if to show that he had no hostility.
How did things end up like this?

Daria wondered for a moment and then turned her gaze to the guardian in front of her.
An ominous magical power emanating from the body.
Considering the concentration of magical power that can be felt on the outside, I don’t think it is at a level that two students can deal with.
Perhaps a ‘temporary alliance with the enemy team’ was intended in this test.
“His weak point is his neck. “I’ll charge first, so support from behind.”
Kim Seon-woo said that and ran forward.
My weak point is my neck.
It was unclear on what basis he was saying such a thing, but Choi Seo-yoon nodded as if she trusted his words.
—Kwaaaang!
The shark monster swung its sharp clawed hands.
The intangible magical power contained in the fingernails was shot towards Kim Seon-woo.
Phew!
At that moment, Kim Seon-woo’s movements suddenly became explosively fast.
It was a dazzlingly fast movement, as if he had used the power of ‘Soonshin’.
Of course, Kim Seon-woo’s ability was already known to many people through the test video.
But when I actually saw it, it felt different.
Wheeeeeeeeing——
Then came the sound of a strong wind. A strong whirlwind blew over his hand.
It was a rush.
The whirlwind gradually took the shape of a sphere and then became a strong round gust of wind.
Daria looked at the sight with wide eyes.
“… … Wind attribute?”
She had seen magic just like that.
From the mysterious opponent I encountered during the first exam of Seongmuje, ‘Certification of Qualifications.’
Who was it that didn’t drop me? She had always wondered about it, but now she knew its true identity.
I never thought it would be Kim Seon-woo.
About 10 minutes passed.
Kwaaaaang——
A huge, loud noise rang out.
After a long fight, the Guardian’s chest was pierced by a compressed magic sphere and he fell.
[The ‘Guardian Hunter’ achievement has been achieved.]
[You will receive 2,000 points as a reward.]
[You have succeeded in killing a monster using the wind attribute.]
[Wind attribute proficiency increases!]
[You will be able to precisely control the flow of wind!]
[You have numerous guardians with ‘weaknesses’
[I attacked and defeated it.]
[Acquire the ‘Guardian Slayer (B)’ trait.]
[It will be easier to deal with Guardians in the future.]
[Increases reflexes by 1.]
“Phew… …
As soon as I saw the message that appeared before my eyes, the tension was relieved.
Finally won.
It was a 4:1 fight, but the Guardian was much stronger than I expected, so I had a hard time.
ate.
So much so that it makes you wonder if the temporary alliance with another team was planned in advance.
Anyway, the message is longer than usual.
I was curious to see if there was anything unusual written there, so I took a closer look.
Earn points and increase your Wind attribute proficiency.
… … And there was one more unexpected result.
The trait called ‘Guardian Slayer’ was acquired.
I was curious so I checked right away.
[Guardian Slayer (B)]
Classification: Characteristics
Description: You will be able to effectively deal with guardians.
►The power to become stronger
When facing a Guardian, all abilities are temporarily increased by 10%.
►Soul absorption
Each time you kill a Guardian, you randomly gain 1 in one of its abilities.
“……oh.”
The ability itself was intuitive and easy to understand.
So, it is a characteristic that increases ability values when dealing with guardians, and gains ability values when conquering.
I was quite satisfied because it was definitely better than nothing.
There was a time when I felt satisfied looking at the message window.
“Senior, thank you for your hard work!”
Seo-yoon Choi approached me.
“Yeah, you worked hard too.”
“Hey, I just tied your feet from behind.”
Seo-yoon Choi smiled awkwardly.
“That’s enough. It’s not easy to tie up the Guardian’s feet.”
It wasn’t an empty remark, it was sincere.
The sight of her freezing the Guardian’s feet with an ice pillar is a symbol of the restraints of the auxiliary system.
Because it was so good that it could even be believed as a law.
However, Choi Seo-yoon had a regretful expression on her face, as if she felt regretful for not being able to land a direct hit.
“Oh, by the way, senior. But when did you learn wind attribute magic?”
Seo-yoon Choi asked me with shining eyes.
Judging from the raised tone of his voice, he seemed quite curious.
“It’s been a while. It was a little frustrating to only deal with non-attribute magic, so I practiced in my spare time.
“aha. They say it’s not easy to adapt to the wind attribute… …
Choi Seo-yoon muttered as if she was curious.
At that moment, Dariah, who had been watching me from a while ago, came towards me.
“Kim Seonwoo.”
Then he calls my name in a wary voice.
“why?”
“… … “Don’t you have something to tell me?”
Seo-yoon Choi made a questioning expression at Daria’s words.
“…What do you want to say?”
The reason Daria said that was probably because of what I said before I caught the Guardian: ‘More than anything, you have a reason to go to the finish line.’
To her, those words must have sounded like ‘I know your secret.’
Maybe they’re mistaking me for the culprit who kidnapped their little brother.
I looked around and then answered.
“Let’s talk later after the exam.”
The Sungmuje exam is being broadcasted externally. It is not something to be said in a place where everyone can hear.
Daria seemed to know what that meant, biting her lip tightly and nodding.
[The character ‘Daria’ feels shallow anger towards you.]
[You will receive 500 points as a reward.]
So you still think I’m the one who kidnapped your younger brother.
Well, if you think about the reason why she wasn’t eliminated in ‘Proof of Qualification’, you can’t help but think of it that way.
It doesn’t really matter.
Oh, once the test is over and you solve it, that’s it.
I turned my gaze towards the passage leading to the ‘brain’.
“Anyway, is this the end of our temporary alliance?”
“……what?”
Daria questioned. I turned my attention to Choi Seo-yoon.
“Then let’s go.”
“Ah yes!”
We went into the passage first. Daria must have felt absurd, so she stood still and looked at me blankly.
[Korean Wizard Academy ‘Lee Seo-jun’ destroyed the whale’s heart!]
[3,000 points to the Korean Magic Academy
is given!]
[1st place goes to Korea Magic Academy with a total of 5,201 points!]
8pm.
The fierce ‘whale chess battle’ has come to an end.
As you can see, the result is that Korea took first place as Lee Seo-jun destroyed the heart.
Second place went to the UK, third to the US, and fourth to Russia.
The Chinese Magic Academy is the team’s ace,
‘Yang Ying’.] Because she was eliminated, she came in an overwhelming last place.
The next test will determine the ‘first eliminated team’, and the results of this test have made China a strong candidate for elimination.
This was the same flow as the original.
From then on, I had meals, personal training, and free time.
The students took their time preparing for the exam tomorrow afternoon.
“…Hmm.”
And at 1 o’clock in the morning, when the broadcast of the Holy Office ceremony stops.
I came out of the mansion in the middle area.
I walked slowly down the dark street, illuminated by the bright moonlight.
There is a huge garden not far from the mansion.
The place I was heading to now was that garden.
Before long I arrived at the garden.
A schoolgirl was seen sitting on a park bench under the moonlight.
He is looking at the screen of his smart student notebook with sad eyes. It is probably a picture of his younger sibling.
“Daria.”
When I called, Daria turned to me.
As I looked straight into her eyes, the unfortunate events that happened to her in the original came to mind.
Seongmuje final exam site.
Due to Zaun summoned by Daria, this ‘virtual world’ temporarily becomes the ‘real world’.
And of course, when the virtual becomes reality, death here becomes not ‘death in the virtual world’ but ‘death in the real world’.
Jaun aims for that and kills Daria.
There was no reason to keep alive a being who could become a big enemy of Zaun in the distant future.
In the end, Daria is used by Jawoon in this episode of the Holy War and meets a terrible end.
but.
I will change that future.
The Apostle of Observation kept talking about the future being decided and the laws of the world, but I have the power to change the future.
“……what is your identity?”
Daria said, getting up from her seat.
“What? “He’s a student who participated in the Holy Military Festival like you.”
“I’m not in the mood for wordplay.”
There was strong anger in Daria’s eyes as she looked at me.
“Answer me. Why did you spare me from the ‘certification’ test?”
“And what is the basis for saying that I have to reach the finish line again?”
I pretended to be troubled and remained silent for a moment before opening my mouth.
“I heard your conversation at the first social gathering.”
Daria’s expression hardened at my words.
“… … lie. “You heard the phone call from that distance?”
“It looked so serious that I used my magic to enhance my hearing and eavesdropped.”
“I was surprised to hear that. I never thought you would be threatened like that.”
I slowly recited the script I had been thinking about for a while.
“Daria. I know the identity of the person who threatened you. It’s a voice I’ve heard in person before. “He is also someone I was personally investigating.”
Daria’s eyes trembled greatly at my words.
“……what?”
“His name is Bert. “He is a core member of Zaun.”
Great shock appeared on Daria’s face.
It was a face that seemed to never have guessed that the other person was Jawoon.
“I told you, I might be able to help you.”
