Chapter 238. Black Falcon Dormitory Beca One
The 1st-year representative players’ active roles didn't end there.
Another representative player, Inette, was also playing a remarkable role.
After Professor Lilian drew a lot, she shouted toward the audience.
“This match is! Using Only Two Magic Spells during the duel!”
As soon as the result of the lottery ca out, opinions poured out among the spectators.
“Two magic spells? This is easy?”
“Right. You can just use elental magic.”
“However, you should decide well what magic to use. Because if you aren't careful, the compatibility might be disadvantageous.”
Just as Fire Elent Magic was weak to Water Elent Magic, clearly even for the sa elental magic, the compatibility differed depending on the attribute.
Since they could only use two magic spells until the duel ended, the key was to choose magic that complented each other.
“If it were , I would choose Transmutation Magic.”
“Using Transmutation Magic skillfully in combat? Then you should have beco an Academy professor early on.”
No matter how excellent a magician was, it was difficult to freely use Transmutation Magic, which required high concentration, in a battle where every second counted.
With just additional elental magic, one could resolve most battles within the Academy.
Inette also didn't have thoughts of using other magic.
For her too, elental magic was the easiest weapon to use.
Actually, there was sothing more important to Inette than the match rules.
Since becoming a Combat Magic major, Shartea’s advice kept popping up in Inette’s mind.
‘It is not good to rely too much on Ability.’
When the water dragon appeared in Raviedel.
Inette, who witnessed Shartea’s Ability ‘Power of the Colossus’ right in front of her eyes, couldn't understand.
Why doesn't she use that strong Ability as she pleases?
Why fight with a sword or magic when she has an additional Ability?
If it were , I wouldn't do that.
‘I've thought this from before, but you tend to abuse your Ability excessively.’
However, Shartea completely denied Inette’s thoughts.
‘You should know that using an Ability requires paying a corresponding price. Don't try to solve everything with Ability.’
Don't solve everything with Ability.
Since hearing Shartea’s cold words, Inette’s thoughts changed a lot.
Inette was soone who suffered because of her strong Ability but relied on it on the other hand.
After realizing that, Inette began to change.
Above all, she wanted to crush the nose of that unlucky 3rd Princess.
She wanted to show a changed appearance to the 3rd Princess who spoke as if she was nothing without her Ability.
If they t in the Lottery Combat Duel, she would prove that her words back then were wrong.
Inette participated in the match making such a resolution inwardly.
But unfortunately, Shartea didn't co out as a representative player in this sports festival.
Inette’s resolution to crush the 3rd Princess’s nose had to be postponed to the next opportunity.
‘Hmph, just wait and see.’
It was enough to defeat the opponent in front of her instead of the 3rd Princess.
Of course, she still couldn't control her Ability without the artifact, the black gloves.
To overco that, Inette polished her magic in her own way while climbing the Tower of Combat.
Now it was ti to show the skills developed during that ti.
“Try attacking first!”
Inette, who pulled out her staff, shouted bravely.
Even though she was royalty, the 2nd-year senior, her opponent, frowned at the spirited shout of Inette who was still a 1st-year.
“You told to attack first even though you are a 1st-year?”
It was preposterous.
To think she would provoke like that.
The 2nd-year senior swung his staff to do as the junior said.
“Then I will do as you wish! O Wind!”
As expected of a representative of the White Fox Dormitory, the 2nd-year senior’s elental magic was not ordinary.
WHOOSH!
Strong wind raged in the training ground.
It was a powerful whirlwind visible to people's eyes.
Inette chanted the sa spell confronting it.
“O Wind!”
Spectators surprised by her spirit buzzed.
“Did she just use the sa magic?”
“Why is she doing that? If it's wind magic, naturally she should use fire.”
“Exactly. Is she ignoring the compatibility of elental magic here?”
Of course, depending on the skill of the person using magic, compatibility could be ignored, but generally, there was a definite compatibility in the 4 major elent magic spells.
Water is strong against fire, and fire is strong against wind.
And wind is strong against earth, and earth is strong against water.
This basic law of the 4 major elents exerted powerful might in combat.
If one utilized the compatibility between elental magic well, they could create an opportunity for a reversal even in situations where magic power was insufficient or unfavorable.
But Inette ignored the obvious compatibility and counterattacked with the sa wind magic as the senior.
When using the sa elental magic, what decided victory or defeat was the amount of magic power and the difference in proficiency.
That was why most of the spectators in the training ground had to predict the senior’s victory.
WHOOSH!
However, the situation flowed differently from expectations.
“Huh?”
“Wh-what is that?”
“I thought it was just Wind Elent Magic!”
Hot energy flowed out from between the wind magic Inette used, and as the whirlwind grew, the montum increased.
That was no longer simple wind.
It was truly a hot wind.
Hot flas were emitting crimson heat inside the wind.
“Using an Ability is a foul! Professor clearly said to use Only Two Magic Spells!”
The flustered senior shouted.
The senior also knew about the 7th Princess Inette’s Ability, so he judged that the power of flas had entered this wind.
But Inette didn't budge.
“What nonsense? I didn't use my Ability. I just used the two magic spells I chose.”
“What?”
For Inette, who possessed excellent affinity for fire attributes perhaps due to her Ability, modifying Fire Elent Magic wasn't that difficult.
Thanks to that, she beca able to freely deploy any magic by applying Fire Elent Magic.
Now, she had used Wind Elent Magic and Fire Elent Magic simultaneously.
WOOOSH!
The Wind Elent Magic instantly swallowed the opponent while embracing the flas.
It was heat conveyed hotly even to Radel watching from the very front row.
The match ended with Inette’s victory.
“Well done, Inette!”
Radel cheered enthusiastically for Inette and waved a piece of cloth he made himself.
On it was written ‘Long Live Inette, Pride of Black Falcon Dormitory’.
Inette’s brow twitched upon discovering that.
“What is that?”
Moreover, for so reason, as Radel waved the cloth, Leon’s followers who were around started chiming in one by one.
“Please do your best for the Black Falcon Dormitory, Princess!”
“Today we will cheer until the end for the victory of the 1st-years! Princess!”
At the atmosphere that had changed far too much, Inette was dumbfounded.
“...When did those guys get so close?”
* * *
Was it thanks to the Black Falcon Dormitory becoming one and cheering enthusiastically?
Gusto, Inette, and Leon all advanced to the finals and achieved good results.
The result was surprisingly 1st place in the Lottery Combat Magic Duel.
“Did you hear? They say 1st-years won!”
“1st-years in a Combat Magic Duel?”
“You an they really beat the 4th-year seniors?”
While other grades were surprised, Radel, who led the Black Falcon Dormitory cheering squad, surrounded the 1st-year Combat Magic representative players.
“Three, two, one! Pull!”
POP!
The firecracker Radel prepared popped and confetti flew.
On one side, Leon’s followers and Inette’s followers congratulated each other on the victory and shared awkward words of blessing.
“Ahem, Prince Leon. You were amazing this ti.”
“Princess Inette was also active, well. We watched well too.”
They had cheered as one until the finals, swept up in the atmosphere led by Radel sohow.
Moreover, now that they even seized the victory, everyone in the Black Falcon Dormitory was still enveloped in excitent.
Radel looked around the 1st-years and said in a strong tone.
“Everyone worked hard. With this, there are 2 championship trophies. At this rate, there is a chance for the overall victory of the sports festival.”
“R-Really...? If so...!”
“Yeah. We will be able to calm Professor Marianne’s anger. We will be safe.”
“Keuheuk!”
Everyone in the Black Falcon Dormitory teared up in relief.
There were also those who looked unfavorably upon such 1st-years.
It was exactly so seniors.
“Even assuming the 4th-year seniors vacated their seats due to practical training, didn't most of the key forces of our 3rd-years also not participate?”
“Of course. If we used full power, those guys wouldn't have been acting up.”
“Ha, then isn't this result not because the 1st-years did well?”
They muttered while looking at the rejoicing 1st-years with expressions full of annoyance.
“The more I see them, the more arrogant... Let's teach them a lesson ourselves.”
* * *
A secluded place behind the training ground.
SMACK!
The sound of soone slapping a cheek was heard.
It was the sound of the 4th Princess Estina cure Cretian beating her follower.
“You! There!”
SLAP!
“Because you forfeited!”
SLAP!
“We lost!”
SMACK!
The 4th Princess’s follower, Kier Iern, was being beaten by Estina and becoming bloody.
Estina was so enraged that hot steam was rising from her transford magical beast arm.
Estina, whose anger wasn't relieved, transford her leg this ti and kicked Kier’s stomach.
THUD!
Kier, who flew away from Estina’s kick and crashed into the wall, vomited a mouthful of blood.
“Cough, cough!”
However, what returned to him was Estina’s cold gaze.
She bit her lip and shouted at Kier.
“Do I have to see with my own two eyes the 8th Prince rejoicing because he won? Tell !”
“...I apologize. Princess.”
Kier bowed his head deeply and apologized, but Estina’s anger wasn't relieved.
“You should have won unconditionally even using that brilliant swordsmanship of yours!”
Using a sword in a magic duel.
It was nonsensical talk.
Kier also knew that she was just saying anything because she was angry.
But Estina’s last words ended up touching his nerve.
“I took in a lowly thing of unknown origin, yet not knowing his place...”
Origin?
Right, origin.
Those were good words.
Didn't Estina also gain her Ability thanks to the best origin in the Empire?
The power that would be helpful to his plan.
THUMP.
Kier staggered up and knelt before Estina.
And said politely.
“My fault is great, Princess. I will do anything if only the Princess’s anger can be relieved.”
“Then go right now and get rid of the 8th Prince!”
Estina scread.
She was on the verge of losing her reason due to anger right now.
The appearance of the 8th Prince rejoicing at the Black Falcon Dormitory’s victory was so hateful.
Just when Shartea was absent, that place should have been hers.
Kier’s sweet words flowed into the ears of Estina, whose eyes were overturned with anger.
“...I also have a strong desire to do so. So about that, I obtained an item that might be helpful to get rid of the 8th Prince...”
Kier hesitated and took out a box from his bosom.
“May I show it to the Princess first?”
It was a box from which strong energy was felt even at a glance.
When Estina permitted it as if she couldn't help it, Kier slowly opened the lid of the box.
Inside, a purple key was shining strangely.
