I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

49 – Midterm (6)

After being singled out by Bella, Reina came downstairs with Siegfried waiting for her.

When I went to Bella along the road, the two students who came down earlier were seated on the other side.

Bella, who had been saying something to the two of them first, came towards Reina.

“As for evaluation, the side that neutralizes all opponents wins. I will cast a protection spell on everyone, so you can deal with each other with all your heart. Do you understand?”

At Bella’s question, the three of them, including Reina, nodded.

“My place is right in the middle. Then everyone, please step back.”

End to end of the arena, the two pairs stand side by side, waiting for Bella’s signal to drop.

Siegfried grabbed the handle of the blue sword and prepared to run away,

Reina activated the mana in her body and was ready to counter it immediately.

Opponents are two of Class B.

If you don’t make mistakes, you’re an opponent you can easily beat.

-That’s right, Reina. When evaluating, try to avoid fighting in the center as much as possible.

Reina shook her head at the annoying voice of her ex-fiance who passed by in an instant.

Don’t fight in the center.

Reina was a magician, so she had to change positions while supporting Siegfried.

The battles did not always take place in place, and they had to move all the time, but there was no reason to care about this.

‘… why.’

But why do his words, which would normally be dismissed as useless words, keep lingering around?

Maybe it’s because of the two people who formed a pair as if it were natural and sat next to each other and chatted affectionately.

A bitter taste began to circulate in my mouth.

It seems that he unknowingly bit his lip again.

Reina roughly wiped off the leaking blood and looked at the crowd for a moment.

It wasn’t because she wanted to look at him, but because she was worried about Elaine’s safety.

Because no one in this world likes him. And since Miss Elaine must have been tricked by him, she has to keep an eye on her.

Lest the naive Elaine be fooled by the wolf-

“Ms. Iceteen?”

“… Run anytime.”

“It’s not like that, but the blood on the lips—”

“I’m fine.”

He answered Siegfried with a worried expression and moved his eyes to the second floor.

There was Lian looking this way and Elaine with white hair looking at his profile.

Lian put on a serious expression.

And Elaine’s expression as she looked at him was a bit flushed.

As if seeing their first love, they are smiling shyly but happily.

Seeing this, Rayna’s heart started beating fast.

‘no… I guess.’

again

One side of his chest throbbed again.

Unlike when I saw him, this time I did it when I saw Elaine next to me.

The loudness was higher than usual, and I was annoyed for some reason.

When Raina was staring at the crowd like that.

Lian’s eyes met.

I unknowingly averted my gaze.

‘… why me.’

I don’t know why I had to avoid his gaze, but I didn’t want to make eye contact with him right away.

To calm her pounding heart, Rayna approached Siegfried and asked about the operation.

“I shouldn’t be careless, but my opponent is Class B. I don’t think you need to overcomplicate it.”

“Then, as I said, I’ll be in the back.”

“yes. Let’s go to Jeongseokdae.”

At the end of the story, one of Bella’s hands went up high.

It was a hand signal announcing preparation for the evaluation.

Reina immediately stepped back and prepared to use her magic as soon as it started.

The opponents are all good at melee combat.

Reina and Siegfried intended to take advantage of the magicians and end them in an instant.

“The evaluation begins.”

At the same time as Bella’s hand went down, Siegfried spurred the ground and dug in between the opponents.

Siegfried’s whole body bounced off with a thud.

At close range, which approached in an instant, he took advantage of the panicked opponent and drew his sword in a semicircle.

Siegfried’s sword, which was unleashed with a long blue tail, grazed the sides of the two people who couldn’t react.

“What?!”

Soon, the two people protected by Bella’s magic couldn’t overcome the shock and fell out.

The opponent bounced back with the sound of something exploding and rolled on the floor of the gymnasium for a long time.

Seeing this, Raina stopped the magic she was preparing for a moment and looked at Bella.

“Evaluation is done until the opponent is completely neutralized or surrendered.”

Reina immediately began forming a magic circle.

The opponent who saw her ran to stop it, but it was not easy to run into Siegfried’s check.

Siegfried was also in a situation where he couldn’t focus on anyone because he was keeping the two in check.

He was just holding a blue sword and cutting off the flying blade.

Even so, he did not forget to look after Reina.

Perhaps what she is trying to do is scope magic.

As agreed in advance, the scenario was that he would bind the opponent and incapacitate them with Reina’s magic.

Under Reina, several large magic circles began to form as if they were piled up.

Then came her cold tone.

“—Is.”

The blue magic circle grows in size and expands the area. The air in the gymnasium, which had been hot, suddenly subsided.

A cool breeze blew and the ice crystals slowly began to flutter.

The ice crystals soon formed a group, and soon the colony grew to such an extent that it was impossible to secure the sight.

As if an ice storm was blowing, the crystals began to wind around Reina.

It was accompanied by a strong wind blowing the hair of everyone in the gymnasium.

Reina slowly reached out her hand and opened her mouth.

“―Eolh”

The ice storm begins to slowly advance.

Leaving Lena. It slowly approached the two people who were confronting Siegfried, and then swallowed them.

I try to get out of that range with all my might, but getting out of the size enough to cover the entire arena is close to impossible.

Ys the rune of ice,

Eoro is the rune of protection.

Reina summoned ice crystals through Ys, and created an ice storm that protected the surroundings through Eoro.

It is an ice storm that protects the caster, but Reina gradually reduced the distance between the opponent and the ice storm by adjusting the flow of mana hidden in the storm.

I was thinking of giving the opponent a shield and pressing it with the shield.

“Yeah, great.”

Siegfried poured out admiration from outside the storm.

Even though it wasn’t ‘first time seeing’ magic, it was truly admirable magic.

The scale of magic that was unbelievable for a student who had just entered the academy, and the ability to handle it freely.

To be honest, no one could handle magic as well as Reina.

If she gets better at the academy-

The corner of Siegfried’s mouth grinned and went up.

Then Bella’s words rang out.

“stop. A win for Reina Eisten and Siegfried Fair.”

At the same time as Bella’s declaration, the cold ice storm that had been raging in the arena dissipated.

“What kind of magic did you cast?”

The two opponents revealed in the storm were fine.

She seemed to have fainted from the shock, but there were no visible injuries, so Siegfried approached Bella and asked:

Bella replied with her characteristic indifferent expression.

“I just put on a normal protective shield. As I said in class, the intensity just depends on how much mana you invest.”

In fact, Bella’s magic was one of the basic magics, a mana shield.

Whenever damage is received, a shield is maintained in exchange for the caster’s mana, which was mainly used when looking at students’ evaluations at the academy because it was easy to block simple magic attacks, including long weapons.

Even if it is a simple novice magic, the intensity varies depending on the skill of the caster.

This is something Bella repeatedly emphasized in class.

“… .”

The ice storm dissipates, and two students fall to the ground.

Rayna didn’t feel much inspiration watching them.

Because I thought I would win.

She glanced at the ceiling while saving up mana. It was because he felt a strange energy while using magic a while ago.

‘mistaken… That must be it.’

Looking around, there was no one except her and Siegfried.

It’s just your own delusion.

With that thought in mind, it was time for Reina to move on.

bang!

“Ms. Iceteen!”

Suddenly, an explosion was heard from above.

In an instant, the gymnasium ceiling collapsed, and rebar and wall remnants were pouring down on Reina.

Immediately, Reina tried to deploy the shield, but the cast was delayed due to embarrassment.

When she raised her hand, a huge boulder had already landed in front of her nose.

Reina closed her eyes tightly.

*

I don’t feel any pain. It felt cozy and stable, as if I was hugged by something.

Perhaps it was a kaleidoscope that I had only heard about, but the rubble that had come right in front of me stopped and she was alive.

Reina soon realized that her body was surrounded by a barrier.

It seemed to be thanks to Bella, who was nearby.

“… ?”

As she tried to move, she felt restricted and raised her head.

“Don’t be in the center.”

There was Lian, who was holding herself up and supporting the fallen wreckage.
