42 – Ice Wind Test

The night after the midterm 1st year sparring test.

Choi Yoo-eun climbed into the back of the butler’s limousine.

“Deaconess, it seems like you’ve been on the phone often. It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. How are the children?”

“Yes. He is growing up well and healthy. It’s thanks to Miss Yueun.”

“Whoops. What did I do?”

As soon as she buckled the seat belt in the back seat, she immediately brought up the story of SS. But all she gets back is a response that shakes her head.

“There doesn’t seem to be any other information. He said he would contact me later. Well… I haven’t heard from him yet…”

Eun Eun Yoo listened to her butler’s words and she seemed to be nervous, but she smiled instead.

“How can I say… That makes me more trustworthy. Always keep your phone on. You never know when you’ll be contacted.”

I came home after a long time.

Choi Yoo-eun’s house is a mansion. Originally, her parents and sisters lived together, but now Yoo-eun lives alone. She thinks she’s better off not seeing her big sister and little sister.

‘It’s been a while since I came home. What should I do? I’ve been very busy preparing for midterm exams for the past month…’

She doesn’t know what to do when she has time to rest. As usual, she picked up her phone and began to memorize the contents of her Demonic Encyclopedia.

***

After a few days like that, it’s Sunday.

Her butler hurriedly came to her and handed her the newspaper. As if he had already read her article, Yu-eun spoke more calmly.

“The SS caught Bingryong, who was managed by the Storm Guild.”

“Yes. Dragon beasts… As far as I know, there are many people who have sealed dragons, but there are only three people in the world who have defeated them. Taesan Lee, the head of the beast association, Jeonghun Ryu, the master of the Yeomam Guild, and the master of the season guild. …”

He looked at Yueun’s expression as she blurted out the end of her words. Choi Do-hyeon, the seasonal guild master and Choi Yu-eun’s father, is currently hospitalized due to worsening conditions.

“Sorry.”

“No. You just said the truth.”

My father, who was so talented as to defeat a dragon, is now in a coma. Age doesn’t really matter. When I was young, I liked getting older. If I had known this would happen, I would have been a child for the rest of my life.

“Did you still say hospital visits are prohibited in hospitals?”

“Yes. A matter is a matter.”

“I see… I hope you recover quickly.”

***

When I grabbed Bingryong and returned to Delaon Academy, it was already 7:00 PM on Sunday.

The curfew was until 10, right? You have a lot of time left. Wind and ice, how to mix and use the two magics. After thinking about this and that, I entered the H practice field.

“Hey~ class president. Did you come to see me?”

I was about to quietly practice magic, but Lee Seon-yeong was wielding her wooden sword in the practice range.

“hahahaha. What’s wrong with your expression after making a joke?”

“Didn’t you go home?”

“Ah. I just came early because I had nothing to do.”

“I see.”

She nodded. Choi Yoo-eun was always next to Lee Seon-yeong during the work, but Lee Seon-young without Choi Yu-eun is new again.

“What are you here for? Magic practice?”

“Um. Just. To exercise lightly before going to bed.”

If he practiced wind magic next to her, Choi Yoo-eun would go right into her ear, and if that happened, she would immediately notice that it was me who would catch the golem and mine. Whatever happens, it must be hidden.

“That’s great. Let’s practice kendo with me.”

“?”

She handed me one of her wooden swords.

“The loser bets on a drink.”

Does he seriously think he’ll beat me? The sudden start of the wooden sword sparring, needless to say, it was my victory.

“Wow… You’re good at dogs, crazy.”

“It takes a hundred years to defeat me with a sword.”

“Huh.”

She added, as if she were dumbfounded.

“That’s really… Then with magic. No, that’s it. What are you going to do after winning 222nd place?”

After she brushed off her pants, she went to the vending machine in the gym and pulled out two cans of soda.

“Oh. It’s a sudden story, but do you know that it’s SS?”

Is it because SS said he was a high school student? The ripple effect seems to be enormous. Everyone who sees it asks once. I shook my head and spoke as if I were talking to a third person.

“You know. The unknown wizard SS, I heard you’re a high school student.”

“Yes. I know it well. I think the SS is Yueun Choi.”

“Why?”

“Among high school students, Choi Yu-eun is the only one that I know of who is so strong and has such a strong sense of justice and goes out to hunt witches.”

Choi Yu-eun can easily use advanced magic. It wouldn’t be strange to think that he’s hiding his power. But SS isn’t Choi Yu-eun, it’s me in front of you. My mouth itched, but I decided to hold it in.

“That makes sense. What if not?”

To my question, she gave an unexpected answer with a bright smile.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not. Rather, it’s good. It means that there is one more righteous person like Choi Yoo-eun.”

After she got a drink, she left the range. Then, the phone started ringing several times.

Weing weing weing …

Sequential text alarm. Who is it?

-Ah

– That

-Maybe

-Does Kim have a mobile phone too?

– Otherwise

-I can’t

It was none other than Song Da-eun’s text message. She texted me right away and the video arrived.

-Ah… Well, over there. It’s embarrassing to suddenly look at the camera and talk to yourself. No, do I really need to say something respectful? Anyway, let’s start. A mechanical bird experiment powered by darkness. In short, Dark Bird Experiment.

A dark bird?

Looking at the video slowly, the ice bomb I mentioned last time seems to have been quite impressive.

But…

Soon there was a loud explosion. If it had been easy, someone else would have already been working as a magic scientist.

-Ugh… The Dark Bird experiment failed…

Still, she left a message of encouragement for Song Da-eun, who must have suffered.

At the same time, she asked where the lab was. It would be perfect to use it as my practice room because it is spacious.

-Ah

-Here?

-Here… That… Sounds very strange, but this is the space I created…

A space created by me.

Hearing those words, there was one magic that immediately came to mind.

[Dark Magic – Black Space]

A magic that creates space by entering a shadowy place and expanding the darkness. In the original work, it was used as a hideout for the demons. Song Da-eun, you originally used it as a laboratory.

I was curious and sent a text asking for the location.

-You’re coming here?! Really?! Not a very good place

She gave reasons for this and that, and she said that she really wanted to visit.

-Ah…

-Yes…

-Okay. It’s not such a nice place as I said… I’m sure you’ll be disappointed…

And then she told me the location behind the school leading to the entrance to the black space. After arriving there, she said:

“Hmm… Open Sesame?”

“…There is no such passphrase.”

From the shadows, Song Da-eun appeared. She was expecting it, but she was a bit surprised. However, she pretended not to be like that and maintained a calm expression.

“Oh, hello? Ido.”

“Yes. Hello.”

Are you ashamed to show off the space you created? He is twisting his body twice.

Inside Black Space.

The vast space and the surroundings were pitch-black, but it was bright and not dark, probably because she had gathered her lanterns from here and there in her own way.

“You did an experiment here. It’s amazing.”

A scorched desk, parts are fragmented here and there. It must be the traces of the recent explosion.

“No. It’s very embarrassing… I’ll clean up and call you back.”

“You’re not hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. Darkness shield is much stronger than other attributes. I’m ranked 2nd in the whole school rankings. I won’t get caught in an explosion.”

But Choi Yu-eun’s advanced magic was broken terribly. In other words, she firmly endures until less than that power. She just needs to control her strength to that point.

Before practicing the magic of combining ice and wind, you should clean the lab first, right?

It’s your turn to use this magic here. It’s a magic I learned because I was bored because I didn’t want to learn it, but it really came in handy here and there.

[Cleaning magic.]

A new notification window arrived at the same time as using it.

[The magic power has been upgraded due to the influence of learning the wind attribute.]

Thanks to that, it’s much neater than expected.

“You were also a wind mage? I know you are an ice mage.”

“Somehow I woke up.”

“Yes.”

I’m not the type to tell anyone. So he showed wind in his left hand and ice in his right hand.

“Multi-element mage… Cool.”

“Thanks. Can I practice here?”

Originally, I was just going to do it, but I decided to ask.

“Let me see you instead.”

“Yeah. Shouldn’t I tell someone else instead?”

“Yes, yes.”

Her eyes gradually turned bright. I heard that she has the side of a scientist, but she seems to be impatient with being curious.

Now. So, how do you mix and match the two properties? Shall we follow what Yena Lee and the butler showed us last time? First, he used wind magic with his left hand.

I mixed [Low Magic – Wind] With [Low Magic – Ice Ball]. Then, magic like an ice wind was born.

“Wow… This is cool too…”

Okay. I’m trying to incorporate it into a sword with this feeling.

Sug-

The blade gust sword and the curse of Nemesis were pulled out at the same time.

“Wow, wow! A wizard with dual swords! It’s amazing.”

Ignoring Da-eun’s cheers, she applied blowing wind to the gust of blade and Bingryong’s ice to Nemesis’ curse.

“Wait!”

She was about to swing once, when she approached.

“Mi-sorry. I disturbed you.”

“No. What happened?”

“This ice… I don’t think it’s ordinary ice. I don’t know what it is, but it looks like really great ice.”

Whoops. I don’t know if it’s Bingryong’s ice that doesn’t melt, but he seems to notice that.

“Dachila, stay by my side.”

“Ah~ I’m the 2nd rank dark mage in the entire school. I can block it enough with a shield.”

Shuuk!

As he swung both swords at the same time, very strong mana erupted. I adjusted my strength, but the cracks on the wall of the black space disappeared.

“Rye, the wall is cracked.”

“… I’m sorry.”

“No. This can be repaired right away. More than that, I’ve seen your experiments well. Ice and wind experiments…”

Experiment? Okay. In a way, you could call it an experiment.

“I’ll be sure to succeed in the darkness and show you!”

Yes, let’s work hard. Da Eun-ah Just like the author said, show me that you will become the best.

***

The next morning, the first grade building. Students are humming while looking at the Daejabo. Come to think of it, it’s the day the written test results come out, right? It’s just noisy.

I know that in the original work, the first place is Choi Yoo-eun, and the second place is Song Da-eun. Kim Yi-do was far behind.

Where should I go…

[Written test ranking]

1St place: Kim Yi-do

2Nd Place: Yooeun Choi

3Rd Place: Daeun Song

Huh? Why am I number 1?
