chapter 19
19 – 19. Training
Everyone has at least one thing they are good at,
Usually you have fun doing things you are good at.
In my case, it was this game, and in particular, I had an amazing talent for mana circuit manipulation.
To the point where I don’t understand why others are crying because they can’t do it.
Just a couple of hours after sending Adella away, I succeeded in opening the lid of the Heavenly Flower, the highest-ranking holy relic.
From now on, the Heavenly Flower that will be reborn in my hands will become a shield that will block Scarlett’s attacks.
The work that started like that required extreme precision, so I was so focused that I didn’t even know Adela was there.
Has enough time already passed for the academy to end? For some reason, my arm hurt.
“Are you remodeling Cheonhwa?”
Renovate. That’s a slightly wrong guess.
“Remodeling is correct in the sense of tearing out the mana circuit and changing its structure. But I would say this is closer to deconstruction than renovation.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not an upgrade. “If I had been able to improve the structure of the Highest Relic, I wouldn’t be here now, serving as a nanny in uniform.”
That’s right. If you think about it, what I’m doing now is close to a downgrade.
It is a work of deliberately twisting the circuit of a perfect painting by its very existence, creating a gap.
Why do you do such a thing?
Adela will show you the reason in person.
“Miss Adela, did you bring the rest of the petals?”
“…Yes.”
“You still have time, would you like to use it to create a shield yourself? Oh, please do it against the wall over there.”
Although she was skeptical, she started the painting against the empty wall I pointed to.
“Defense shield….”
She was thinking hard and pouring in mana.
Bang!
What was printed was the mana bullet from before that was boring to the point of firing.
In the first place, I didn’t think it would unfold so quickly based on her sense alone.
That’s why I told you to shoot it at the wall.
If you get hit by the magic circle, all the hard work you have done so far will be lost.
I said, accelerating the operation that was almost finished.
“Well, that can’t be possible. So, isn’t that why I’m doing this?”
“…”
Click-
A refreshing sound resonates.
It was a sound indicating that the work was finished.
I put her newly aligned mana circuits back where they were, then held out the petal to her.
“Let’s try this again.”
“You mean like a little while ago?”
“Try to let it flow just like the feeling of shooting a mana bullet. “I can’t do anything else than that anyway.”
With a suspicious look in her eyes, Adella connects the mana thread to the heavenly flower and then flows out magical power.
It would have been correct to hear a roar coming from the wall again, but….
Wow-
With a sound, a blue shield appeared.
Its size is slightly less than half of Adela’s body, but it’s still great.
“…Huh?”
“I twisted Cheonhwa’s output circuit. Originally, when mana was poured in that way, magic bullets went out, but now I made it to deploy a shield.”
“How could this happen…” .”
“Again, this is not an improvement. It’s closer to reducing the status and making only the shield appear. Even this holy object knows this, and it will soon return to normal.”
Adella turns the shielded flower petals around as if she can’t believe it.
I added it to prevent misunderstanding.
“If you are thinking of your future as a top priority, it is right not to rely on these shortcuts. Since this is a special situation, I have raised my skill level through pranks.”
“…I know.”
“That’s all you need to know. “Shall we begin now?”
I took out an A-class melee attack doll from the warehouse, set the target to Adella, and activated it.
“Okay, now we just have to practice.”
“Yes?”
“If Miss Adela had been a seven-year-old child, she would have been able to cover her entire body with that small shield. Unfortunately, no. So, to properly block it, you need to at least be able to see which direction Scarlett’s attack is coming from.”
“No, wait. Wait.”
She instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but the training had already begun.
-Identify the target.
As soon as her mechanical sound ends, her Mana doll attacks her at a similar speed to Scarlett.
If you hit that straight without wearing an S-class mana shield, you could die instantly.
However, people become most capable in the face of fear that depends on their survival.
“aaah!”
She let out a scream from her throat, but her hand holding her celestial flower accurately blocked the attack of her doll.
If he couldn’t stop it until the end, I tried to stop it for him, but the results exceeded my expectations.
However, she came to sightseeing right up to the Jordan River without knowing that fact even in her dreams.
“Wow, wow….”
He took a deep breath and looked at me with a mixture of bewilderment and contempt.
I looked down at Adela and said.
“I assure you, it will be the most rewarding two weeks.”
—
A week has passed.
No, I survived for a week.
Adella is sitting in the main auditorium with blank eyes.
The class that just ended was the last class of the day, so now I have to go to Dalian again.
The student sitting next to her, who was watching her condition closely, spoke up.
“Hey, over there. Adela.”
“Yes.”
“What’s going on these days? “Your dark circles are as dark as if you had a tattoo.”
Did something like that happen?
She didn’t even notice because she didn’t have time to look in the mirror these days.
While existing classes will of course remain the same, Ivan’s special tutoring will be held as soon as the academy ends and until curfew in the dormitory.
Under his supervision, after blocking the A-class doll’s fists with a shield and wandering between life and death several times, he returns to her room and falls asleep.
And then wake up early in the morning and take a canter to strengthen your physical strength.
After repeating the following about 7 times, she was able to feel the novel feeling of being both alive and dead.
Actually, Ivan wasn’t trying to poison someone with Damian’s tears, but he was just trying to kill me.
His training was devoid of human mercy to the extent that such an absurd thought occurred.
But, she was unable to explain such circumstances.
“I’m having a hard time sleeping these days.”
She smiled and hesitated, then gathered her luggage and left the main auditorium.
She eventually arrived at Ivan’s sparring hall. There was no one inside her, but as always, she took out an A-class doll from the storage room.
The week-long training was hell itself, but the effect could not be denied.
A doll that is stronger than you, fighting against you without a mana shield.
I didn’t know because it was something I had never tried before, but the tension entering my body was different.
A feeling as if the density of time is changing.
Do you mean that Scarlett goes through this ‘real battle’ every day?
After repeating that, Adela’s senses became sharp enough that she could now skillfully block the fists of her Class A doll.
It was a growth that surprised even myself. That’s it for now, there’s only one week left.
Her defense ability has now risen to the point where she can think she has a chance of winning.
It was a modification of Cheonhwa aimed only at Scarlet, and it was a practice for close combat.
I looked at the doll I had taken out.
Instructor Ivan seemed to be a little late today.
Although she hesitated a bit, Adella was able to operate the A-class doll.
Ivan threatened to operate it only when he was supervising it, but honestly, he didn’t do anything. I just watch her fight closely right next to her.
If she couldn’t stop her in the first place, there wouldn’t be anything Ivan could do.
I saw with my own eyes that he was an instructor who could neutralize a Class A doll with a single magic shot, but only a combat instructor like Chris could physically block a fist.
In the end, dealing with her doll was entirely up to her, and she was now proficient enough to feel confident.
More than anything, it was a waste of time as I could see the potential.
Adela predicted the trajectory of the doll running towards her and deployed her defense shield.
A perfect angle to make you feel relaxed.
If there is one problem,
Pang!
Mana bullets were fired from the petals where the shield was supposed to be deployed.
“Oh, why is this…?” .”
It was clearly the petal that Ivan had modified, and the shield came out intact until this morning.
The situation suddenly seems to have returned to its original state.
The moment she thought that, a word from Ivan passed through her mind.
‘Even this holy object knows this, and it will soon return to its original state.’
This noble holy relic never allows its circuits to be tangled by external intervention.
So, it will return to its original state over time.
Ivan said that, but he didn’t know that it would be at this very moment.
However, it is already too late to pass it off just because you didn’t know.
The A-class doll that was charging towards him flinched for a moment after being hit by a mana bullet fired unintentionally….
It was not enough to turn the doll into scrap metal.
Her doll takes her stance again and rushes to kill her.
“Huh…” !”
With an immediate decision, she turned the two cloths and pointed them at the doll, but she knew instinctively.
Even if you hit the mana bullet, you won’t be able to completely block that charge.
Her ‘unmanageable attack’ hits her with the sound of her cool wind.
At that last moment, Adela squeezed her eyes shut.
“…”
But, nothing happened.
The blow did not hit anywhere on her body until she slightly opened her closed eyes.
What is in that trajectory….
“I don’t even listen to what you say because I’m afraid she’s a commoner and rich girl.”
Ivan doesn’t know when he came in.
He was looking down at her, cupping the fist of her Class A doll with one hand.
