chapter 20
20 – Training Doll
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a loud noise. It was the sound of the magic cannon firing magic bullets. Just like that, the launched magic bullet flew towards the students at terrifying speed.
Boom!
The roar rang once again.
The magic bullet exploded.
‘Lord, I think I’ll die.’
Zeke thought that as he got stronger, he could easily cut down magic bullets. However, once the training started, Zeke realized that that thought was his own arrogance.
Boom!
Before I could finish my thoughts, the magic bullet flew again. Zeke, who came to his senses, raised his sword and cut the flying magic bullet.
As a result, the magic bullet didn’t burn. As soon as it came into contact with the sword, it exploded.
Thanks to the bracelet Derian gave me, there was no major damage. However, the impact of the explosion could not be prevented. In the aftermath of the shock, Zeke flew high into the sky and fell to the ground.
Thump!
“Kuhak!”
Scene, pinned to the ground, struggled in pain.
If you aim for a place other than a loophole and slash it, the magic bullet will react and explode right on the spot.
Deruan, who noticed that fact and cut it with a sword containing only magical power, looked amazing.
‘I never thought it would be this difficult. What on earth did the teacher do?’
I moved my gaze to where he was in awe.
And I saw it.
Seeing him smiling and firing the magic cannon.
●●●
It’s been a week since I started training with the magic cannon.
‘I can’t keep my senses?’
A week passed, but not a single student came out to destroy the magic bullet.
I thought it wouldn’t be easy.
‘I never thought I would make progress this far.’
As me, who uses my magic power to the limit every day and shoots magic cannons, it was disappointing that the students did not grow.
However, it was not without the students’ growth.
‘Tricia and Veronica seem to have a sense. He can’t react.’
Unlike the trio, who still couldn’t find the loophole and exploded magic bullets by hitting the wrong place, Veronica and Trisha definitely noticed where the loophole was.
It’s just that he couldn’t react to the magic bullets flying at high speed.
Boom!
With another explosion, the students flew into the sky and crashed to the ground. Thanks to the shield, there was no major damage.
However, not only was there no major damage, but the condition of the students was not very good.
Shock accumulated and fatigue accumulated. Darkness hung over the eyes of the students. Everyone is tired
Looks like he needs a break.
“Everyone until there, I will rest for a while.”
As if they had waited for that word, the students collapsed like puppets with strings untied.
As everyone was breathing and resting, Veronica raised her hand and said with tired eyes.
“Teacher, how long do we have to do this?”
It was Veronica who wanted to know how long she had to do this crazy thing.
“I plan to keep going until you destroy or cut down the magic bullets.”
“It’s been a week. No one has been successful before, so is this really the right training method for us?”
Veronica couldn’t understand if this was really the training they needed to grow.
“Veronica, you must have noticed the loophole already.”
It was Veronica who used her magical energy against the loophole several times.
“That is, but, I can’t get it right. I mean, it’s too fast.”
It’s fast.
Certainly, the speed of the magic bullets fired by the magic cannon was fast.
But…….
“The sword wielded by a skilled knight is faster than that. Are you going to make excuses for not being able to hit the sword because it was fast even at the moment the sword entered your neck?”
“… ….”
I thought I might have said it a little harshly, but it was true. Knights who have entered Sword Expert can wield their swords faster than magic bullets fired by magic cannons.
I could see that fact in the match between Jenny and Zeke.
“Still. It would be unreasonable for you, who are not knights, to follow that speed.”
I brought two commanding daggers and handed them to Veronica and Tricia. The two asked with an expression that they did not know why they were giving this to them.
“Why this?”
“Cut with it.”
The reason Tricia and Veronica can’t break the magic is because they can’t blow away their magic in time for the magic bullets.
To make up for that, I gave them daggers. If it is difficult to blow away the mana at the right time, you can cut the mana around the dagger.
Because it is easier to simply wield a sword enchanted with mana than the delicate task of blasting away mana.
“Well, we don’t know how to wield a sword, do we?”
I said to Veronica, who was still sighing.
“Mars Arena is a one-on-one competition. That means there is no one to stand in your way. Do you think he will wait for you to chant magic when you meet a martial arts student? The more means you have to protect yourself, the better.”
It’s not that wizards don’t engage in close combat. When they move systematically like in war, they organize magic units to support them, but in real battles, wizards also often went through close combat.
I’m not asking you to wield it like a knight. It was good to learn melee combat just enough to protect myself, or at least to buy time for a single chant.
In that sense, I handed the dagger to them both.
“If you can’t generate magic in time, you can just cut it with a sword wrapped in magic.”
“That couldn’t be easier said than done.”
It is not easy for two girls who have certainly never held a sword. But it wasn’t impossible.
“As you can see, I am a wizard just like you. I can do it too, why do you think you can’t? Do it with confidence.”
Veronica made no more excuses. That I have no intention of changing my mind. You would have realized it while watching.
Training has begun again.
Veronica and Trisha tried to cut the flying magic bullets with magic-clad daggers.
However, the body did not follow. As it was, the magic bullet hit the shield and blew the two far away.
The two of them were stuck on the ground.
The dust settled and I saw the two of them in disrepair.
Veronica cried out in tears.
“I can’t do it anymore! I just want to drop out I’m quitting!”
In the end, the mental limit came.
‘I can’t help it.’
I walked to where Veronica was, grabbed her by the wrist, and lifted her up.
“What, what is it? Suddenly.”
“Originally, I wanted to do it myself, but I will help you just this once.”
It clung to her back while holding her hand holding the dagger.
“Boo, don’t stick.”
“Be quiet and focus. I will tell you what to do from now on.”
Tricia is the only wizard who can control the magic cannon right now. I asked Trisha to fire the magic cannon.
I could feel the strength in Veronica’s hands as if she was nervous before the magic cannon was fired.
“Relax, focus.”
“…… Yes.”
Boom!
A magic bullet flew.
I grabbed Veronica’s arm and swung it.
A sword that descends while drawing an arc.
Suddenly.
It was cut. The magic was cut from Veronica’s hand.
Veronica, who was bewildered by the fact, said with her back.
“I think I’ve got a sense by now.”
After teaching Trisha the same posture, I resumed training.
Standing in front of the magic cannon, Veronica and Trisha steadied their breath and held the daggers in reverse, taking their stance.
Boom!
The two focused their attention on the magic bullets that flew with a roar.
Finding a loophole, the two calmly stabbed it with enchanted daggers.
The magic returned to nature’s mana due to the dagger stabbed precisely at the loophole.
The two finally succeeded.
“Well done.”
“I did it, I did it.”
Veronica and Tricia were delighted that they had cut down the magic bullet.
Now the two are ready to move on to the next step.
“Veronica and Trisha, who succeeded in cutting down the magic bullets, will move on to the next training.”
“Next training?”
I brought two training dolls that I had moved.
“It is a training doll. Some of you may know, but let me explain.”
He pointed to the doll on the left and said.
“This doll is a knight doll used by martial arts students.”
Looking to the right, he said.
“And this is a wizard doll used by magic students.”
I breathed magic into each puppet. Then the dolls began to move with their blue eyes flashing.
Chaw ah!
It was the sound of a knight doll swinging a sword.
The wizard doll sparked.
Training dolls are dolls that can actually move and fight when you put magic into them.
In case of a knight doll, the skill of one doll is equivalent to that of a sword user, and in the case of a wizard doll, the skill of a magic user is obtained. Since she is a doll, her skills were poor.
The power of one doll is terrible, but it is always a 1v1 case.
The number of dolls I brought is 50, and the number of students is 5
“I will continue training until each of us wins against 10 dolls.”
Training to continue until you win That’s how it started.
