Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

145 – Arcius – 10

The Winter Castle gymnasium was quite different from the Academy.

I don’t know if it was not cleared because there was so much snow, or if it was intentionally laid down to acclimate the interior of the castle to winter, but there is a lot of snow on the ground.

Of course, it is not spread across the entire training ground. A certain place inside.

“I never thought it would be like this….”

In other words, only the sparring grounds are covered in snow.

I stepped into the sparring hall.

Sigh.

The depth is about ankle level. It’s not to the point where I can’t move, but I feel uncomfortable moving around. It takes strength to move one step at a time.

“Is there a problem?”

When I look ahead at the voice I hear, Katrel is standing there with his eyes on me.

However, unlike me, his feet were not buried in the snow.

I clicked my tongue as I saw him standing firmly on the snow.

Is there any reason to stand around consuming mana like that?

All you have to do is just remove the snow.

While thinking that, I gathered mana at the tips of my feet.

I know that clearing snow is more efficient.

However, I couldn’t bear it when I was faced with Katrell looking at me as if I couldn’t do this much.

“You don’t have to overdo it.”

“Father, isn’t that too much?”

I removed the real sword from my waist and picked up the wooden sword from the training room.

It probably won’t be able to withstand sword steel, but if you control it to some extent, it will be able to withstand a simple top-level auror.

That would be enough.

Sabagsabag.

Footprints are left on the snow. Katrel and I walked around the sparring area, looking at each other. The energy slowly creeping out of his body is threatening.

It’s not just the top level, it’s quite skilled.

One wonders where his limits are.

And, I did not resist the natural desire to know what I did not know.

Blame.

It kicks its eyes and rushes in. At the same time, he slightly twisted and broke the wooden sword in his hand.

Chojang, it is not possible to immediately draw out all the power to check a person’s skills. But you can’t show that you look at it awkwardly.

I swung my sword as fast as I could without putting any mana into it.

“I didn’t mean to make a joke.”

Kattrell’s fingers move. He controlled my sword without a single word. His magic grabs hold of my sword and twists it into the air.

It’s not a good feeling that my sword doesn’t move as I want. Especially since this is a situation I have never experienced before.

Gooooo.

Immediately the momentum picked up. All the mana that touches my sword is cut off, and even the traces are covered with my mana and magic energy.

They boasted that it was better than the best, but if you can’t control the sword properly, there’s nothing like it.

“Hoo.”

Katrel widened his eyes and took a step back. At the same time, a blue magic circle emerged behind his body.

… It’s not just one or two.

Even at first glance, the magical power contained in the magic circle is considerable. Each one of them is magic with high-level power. If you use magic that much, that means you have a lot of magic power.

Grrr.

The demonic energy boils within the body. It’s as if he wants to chew and swallow the magic in front of him right now.

Even if you put a leash on it and train it, it seems like you can’t quite suppress its instincts. When I see you wanting to come forward like this every now and then.

Buuung.

I swung my sword in the air and let the demonic energy flow. It’s not time for you to step forward yet.

Magi is an energy focused on destruction rather than symbiosis. If you use that energy for a long time, there is a high probability that the wooden sword will not be able to withstand it and will break.

Of course, since it is sparring, even if the wooden sword is broken, you can bring it back….

‘I guess I should practice controlling it now.’

I adjusted the strength of the hand holding the sword and looked ahead. The magic circle slowly heats up. Five magic circles that look like they might shoot out at any moment.

Even the color of the mana dissolved in each magic circle is quite different.

It must mean a different property.

How many times will it be possible to meet a wizard of this level? Probably not.

“Are you going to keep standing like that?”

Katrell hinted. I paused for a moment….

Blame.

He kicked his eyes and rushed at me.

The purple aura instantly wraps around the sword. I opened my eyes and looked ahead.

Jijijik.

Lightning erupts from the magic circle. In an instant, I twisted my sword to block the lightning that came in front of me.

“Lightning will not be stopped just by blocking it.”

“It’s something you just have to endure.”

It’s a little tingling.

I shook myself off and started moving my feet again. Is it difficult to be struck by lightning when you have a devil in your body? Of course, most of them were released in the process of touching the sword.

As I block the lightning, sparks fall from above my head. I quietly watched the magic reminiscent of a shooting star and slowly moved my sword.

Quang!

As I cut down the fireball in one go, smoke spread out and obscured my eyes.

Inside, a fist suddenly pops out.

“What… !”

“I didn’t know I could avoid this.”

Even though Katrell looked surprised, she took a natural stance.

A typical fighter’s stance.

“Did you learn how to fight?”

“To some extent.”

Still, that’s true. Does it make sense for a wizard to be close to a swordsman?

With that in mind, I stepped forward.

As long as he is within the range of the sword, there is no reason to move quickly. I held my breath for a moment and swung my sword towards his shoulder.

“I learned it from your mother.”

Kattrell’s movements become blurred. He swung at his body and smoke was cut instead of his body. I widened my eyes and took a stance.

‘Is it a hallucination?’

No. If it had been a hallucination, I would have definitely noticed. It is clear that the Katrell who was there a moment ago is himself.

So, that means that the moment I swung my sword, it was converted into smoke….

Bung.

His fist comes flying from the back of my head. Without even looking back, I lowered my head to avoid his fist and swung my sword right away.

As expected, the smoke disperses. Even though it clearly had substance.

“It feels good.”

Katrell’s voice resonates through the smoke. Even if you try to find the location by voice, it is impossible to locate it because it echoes from all over the place.

Mana was slowly raised.

Sight, smell, and touch are meaningless. In that case, you should find it with other senses.

As I was slowly spreading mana, Katrel’s voice pierced my ears.

“He wanted to make love with that dragon.”

“… “Did your mother tell you?”

“Yes, he also advised me to talk to you a little bit.”

“Is this what you’re talking about?”

I was dumbfounded, so I lowered my sword and asked. From the first time I came here, I asked to spar. Are you telling me to tell you now?

Catrel walks out of the smoke. My senses clearly tell me that the body is real, but since I don’t know when it will dissipate into smoke, I don’t dare touch it.

“I thought you would like it better this way.”

“… ….”

I was about to retort, but I closed my mouth. If you think about it, even when talking with Agnes, the conclusion was a couplet.

“So, what do you want to say? If you’re trying to stop me….”

“I have no intention of doing so. I am already married to Arwen, so why stop me? “I just think it’s hereditary.”

“It’s hereditary. “If a love for dragons could be inherited, then maybe it really would be.”

Katrel raised the corners of her mouth slightly. It was the same for me too.

“It won’t be easy.”

“I know.”

“More than you know.”

“I am roughly predicting this. “There is already a precedent.”

Catrel met my gaze and burst into laughter.

“Yes, there is a precedent. “Then you know how tiring it is, right?”

“You mean turning a dragon into a human?”

“Yes.”

A dragon marrying a person is something that will attract attention in the social world.

Moreover, due to the nature of a dragon that does not know the reason for appearing in human social circles, he would have to hide his wife, and in that case, there would be rumors that would break out.

“I had to make her a commoner woman. “All gossip is blocked with the power of the family.”

“Isn’t it okay to do the same thing?”

“It is strange that both father and son married commoner women, but when she says that the wife never shows her face in social circles, she wonders whether it is strange or not strange.”

It will definitely be strange.

I nodded without thinking.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no way.”

Katrell’s eyes widened at what he hinted at.

Whether I reach the top or what I do, it is a different story from politics.

If an individual’s power is too strong, he will be suppressed and gain a certain amount of honor. However, that does not mean that your status in the social world will rise.

Rather, it fell when it lost strength.

People are instinctively jealous of those who are above them. Of course, there are some who don’t, but most do.

And among them, there are those who show their jealousy on the surface.

There are especially many of them in social circles.

Those people create rumors.

Catrel declared that now he can put an end to such gossip.

“… “Are you serious?”

“Maybe not everything is possible. “We will be able to sort things out to some extent.”

I know that the power of the Philasia family is strong, but it’s probably not that strong, right?

Among those creating rumors, there will be some from quite old families, and there will also be those who hold power in their hands.

You can organize those people?

“Instead, there is a condition.”

Then that’s right.

“To completely inherit the Duke of Philasia. “And as quickly as possible.”

Yes?
