Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

92. Cynthia vs. Lee Soo-hyuk

#92. Cynthia vs. Lee Soo-hyuk

“Cadet Cynthia. Cadet Lee Soo-hyuk.”

The time has finally come.

Lee Soo-hyuk stood up from his seat as he heard the examiner’s voice.

“The two examinees are requested to enter the examination room.”

It was time to trample on that Cynthia guy he didn’t like and prove to everyone who he was.

***

“… … The match time is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes due to the progress of the test. Also, attacks with the power to kill the opponent are not possible, and the match will be stopped immediately if such a technique is used. Any objections?”

Before the match started, the examiner explained the rules to Cynthia and Lee Soo-hyuk.

Cynthia nodded and said she understood, since it was a rule she already knew.

‘So you’re saying that as long as you don’t kill them, it’s okay?’

-… You’re really amazing for interpreting it that way.

Illien’s sigh was heard, but Cynthia ignored it and looked at Lee Soo-hyuk.

A guy I didn’t like from the start.

A piece of human trash that drove himself to the brink of death. Thanks to that, I was able to meet my brother… Anyway! He’s an annoying guy.

There’s something fishy about him and he has some questionable abilities, but Cynthia decides not to care anymore.

Since when did you care about that kind of thing?

Anyway, if we just confront it with our bodies, we can solve everything.

“The match… begins!”

With the voice of the examiner, Cynthia used her supernatural power, ‘Incomprehensible’, to hide her appearance along with her magic power.

“It’s a skill that disappears before your eyes… It’s an interesting ability… But it’s useless to me.”

Lee Soo-hyuk clenched his fist and swung his sword towards Cynthia, as if to prove that his words that it was useless were not empty words.

‘… You found this?’

Cynthia was flustered, but calmly dodged Lee Soo-hyuk’s sword and increased the magical power she poured into the Incomprehensible Maintenance.

“I thought you said it was useless? You can’t fool me with such poor stealth skills.”

The stealth technique is incomprehensible.

Despite using it to further strengthen it, Lee Soo-hyuk immediately found Cynthia’s location and continued the attack.

‘What? How did you find it…! Master said that even high-level heroes with detection skills wouldn’t be able to easily recognize it!’

Cynthia frowned, exclaiming in incomprehension, and immediately took her next action.

It was a shame to waste the magic power I used on the Incomprehensible, but I knew that the stealth type would not work at all, so it was not a loss.

It was unfortunate that it became impossible to eat raw fish due to the incomprehensible nature and the Baekgwiyahaeng.

‘Yeah. Rather than winning easily… it feels better to win after difficulty.’

He was a guy who always wanted to get beat up properly one day.

If victory could be achieved easily, it would be more regrettable and vain. Thinking so, Cynthia created dozens of arrows through the paradox of light.

“Let’s see if the defense is as good as the eyes.”

“Use it as much as you want. It won’t work anyway. I’ll make you feel the difference in status between you and me through this match.”

Lee Soo-hyuk recited the lines from the second-year middle school syndrome and wiggled his fingers as if to signal for an attack at any time.

-You want me to attack you so I can hit you? Are you crazy?

At this, Illien shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

This was also the case for Cynthia.

‘Am I crazy? Or… Are you really confident? No, no, even if you are confident, is it right to do this on a test?’

-I guess… it doesn’t seem like he’s just crazy. I think it’s right to see that he has some kind of purpose. Hmm.

‘I don’t know. Let’s just attack! If they say they’ll hit me, I have to hit them!’

Cynthia, who felt that there was no time to think, decided to just go ahead and attack, taking into account the risk that Lee Soo-hyuk might have some kind of ulterior motive.

A rain of arrows made of light poured down on the examination room. The light disappeared as if it was nothing when it touched Cynthia’s body, but when it touched the floor of the examination room, it exploded with a loud noise.

And the same was true when it hit Lee Soo-hyuk’s body directly.

Pachinko! Quagagaga!

There was a flash of light with a loud noise like a bomb exploding. The dozen or so arrows that touched Lee Soo-hyuk’s body disappeared in a flash, showing a performance that would immediately turn him into a rag.

-Did you get hurt?

‘Illien… You shouldn’t say things like that!’

As the dust rose and blocked her vision, Illian tilted her head and spoke, and Cynthia was startled and shouted at Illian.

Because saying “I’ve done it” is no different from a magic spell that saves the other person.

-You believe in such superstitions, don’t you? Huh? Sia. You’re stupid because you believe in such things… Huh?

When the figure of a man standing between the billowing smoke appeared, Illian stared at it, lost in thought.

-Crazy… You don’t have any scars?

Standing there was Lee Soo-hyuk, with a clean appearance and no signs of life.

The area around him was filled with magical powers that appeared as scales the size of fingernails.

As soon as Cynthia saw that the paradox of light was not working, she rushed towards him.

Yes. I can only trust this body.

If the paradox of light doesn’t work, just attack with your body!

Cynthia breathed magic into the bow in her right hand.

These days, it seems like people are using it more like a baseball bat than shooting arrows with a bow… What can I do? It’s more convenient and better this way!

Boom! Cynthia’s bow struck Lee Soo-hyuk.

Lee Soo-hyuk stood still and simply took Cynthia’s attacks, wondering if his words about accepting were an empty boast.

-I think it worked this time?

Illien was excited, saying that this time it really worked.

And once again the dust cleared… .

A healthy Lee Soo-hyuk was seen.

“… … .”

“Is this all?”

Lee Soo-hyuk asked Cynthia with a bitter sneer.

***

“A dragon scale armor made with magic? Could it possibly have dragon characteristics?”

“If it’s Yong-in… isn’t that the characteristic of a dragon? That cadet has it?

“Since you have observation abilities, let me take a look. Hmm… It looks like it’s not a dragon, but a half-dragon. I guess it’s an evolving trait anyway…” The characteristics of the Half-Dragon Man evolve through special conditions. The characteristics that evolve in this way are called Dragon Man.

It is a rare and fraudulent trait that allows one to create powerful attacks and defenses based on near-infinite magical power, and to use various magic with precise magical power control and calculations reminiscent of machines.

Although only one person is currently known to possess this trait, there was a reason why it was so widely known.

That’s because those with this trait are strong and ranked in the top 10 of heroes.

Solvent, elaid.

A strong man from the United States, ranked 8th in the world hero rankings.

What Lee Soo-hyuk had was a trait that wasn’t much different from what he had.

“This… I thought Cadet Cynthia would win without much trouble, but it turned out to be the opposite.”

“It’s a good thing the judges can’t bet. If I had bet on Cadet Cynthia… oh. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.”

‘Fuck… I bet on Cynthia in my family’s name. I lost.’

After the judges saw Lee Soo-hyuk’s characteristics, they all changed their minds and decided that Lee Soo-hyuk would win.

Even though she was a half-dragon who hadn’t yet evolved into the dragon trait, that alone was reason enough for Cynthia to lose.

Generates a massive amount of magical power through Dragon Heart and converts it into a defensive magical power operation called Yongrin Gap. This alone blocks all of Cynthia’s attacks.

And if you deploy it and attack at the same time, Cynthia will eventually get tired and collapse.

A trait that allows for attack and defense through near-infinite magical power.

That was one of the fraudulent traits of the Yong-in and Ban-ryong-in traits.

“However, it seems like it hasn’t been long since the Half-Dragon trait was developed. The existing developed trait is also recorded as a completely different trait… It seems like it’s an additional development. In this case, it seems like the outcome will be determined by Cadet Lee Soo-hyuk’s proficiency.”

Cynthia’s abilities are amazing.

He was born with the body of Kwon Seong-shin and learned the art of liaison, and was taught martial arts by Cheon Mu-bong, who was called a monster.

He also had a unique ability to shape objects with light.

However, all of that is blocked by the characteristics of the 8th ranked player.

All we can hope for is that Lee Soo-hyuk, who hasn’t yet fully unleashed the power of the Half-Dragon Flower, will make a mistake.

‘Please let Cynthia win… please!’

One of the judges who bet on Cynthia in her family’s name prayed fervently that Lee Soo-hyuk would definitely make a mistake.

Have you heard such a prayer?

A crack appeared in Lee Soo-hyuk’s smile, which had always been calm.
