I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 19: Knighthood (1)

The first dungeon practice had already ended.

A total of 141 students from classes A-S.

39 dropouts.

Despite finishing second, Haewon-ryang felt defeated and had a bad aftertaste, so he went straight to the S-Class training ground in the evening.

Even if Eisel hadnt rushed in at the last minute finishing was difficult.

Although Mayu-seongs power had almost run out, he would have quickly recovered his stamina with a brief break. On the other hand, he himself was almost out of the magic he had prepared, and his mana was also running low, so he wasnt sure whether he would win or lose if they fought any longer.

I I cant beat him no matter what I do

Is the wall of talent so thick and high?

He was sloppy about everything, and when he was curious or interested in something, he would touch it.

Then? Ta-da!

The results would surpass even experts who have focused solely on one field for over a decade.

He was always this way. As a result, Mayu-seong always had an apple in his mouth.

Sorry; I did it for fun, but I did it better.

It was a sincere apology. Never even intended to make fun of the other person

So I became even more enraged. The limitations of not being able to win even one battle against a guy who makes no effort.

No, I dont have time to beat myself up. I need to put in more effort.

He took out his staff and stood in front of the massive fake scarecrow, scattering his magic wildly.

From beginning to end, the unique cold, and cruel magic of designing all the magic and tying the enemy at his own pace was nowhere to be found.

Haewon-ryang. Why dont you take it easy?

Princess Hong Bi-yeon.

Because Hong Bi-yeon was talking to him from behind, Hae Won-ryang, who had been expanding magic for a long time, could barely catch his breath.

He had already used his magic a few times and was in a state of disarray. He could not overcome the total amount of mana limitation no matter how much he trained his stamina or studied and practiced magic.

While wildly scattering her flame-based magic, Hong Bi-yeon stood next to Haewon-ryang, telling him to calm down.

Despite the fact that she couldnt use as many attributes as Haewon-ryang and was weak in design, she was able to present very magnificent magic at the 3rd class level thanks to her massive amount of mana and powerful royal succession magic.

Did the princess get attacked too?

Too? Did you also get attacked?

I flinched, I made a slip of the tongue that I would not normally have done. But Hong Bi-yeon remained silent. She wasnt the type of person who was bothered by such trivial matters.

I did. Good. That too for the last place in the grade. Its killing me.

There were many excuses.

The terrain was constantly changing, all of my magic was already known because I was famous, my magic was focused on destruction, my accuracy was low, and my opponent was focused on speed.

In the end, however, the excuse was just that: an excuse.

The fact that Hong Bi-yeon lost because she wasnt enough didnt change.

Then I received a point stick and finished third. Despite the fact that I did not win first placemy mother was rather satisfied.

Hong Bi-yeon stabbed the staff on the floor after realizing it was because of Baek Yu-seols return of the point stick.

Bang bang!! The target ahead was completely burned down.

Yeah. I was nervous because of my pride when I handed the point sticks to Baek Yoo-seol.

What would have happened if Baek Yu-seol had truly snatched all of the point sticks? What would I have done if I hadnt made it into the rankings?

My heart was relieved when he returned it.

Annoying!

I didnt like it. I didnt dislike Baek Yu-seol; I just hated myself for being scared, anxious, relieved, and ecstatic at every action of a commoner.

One day, Im going to set that annoying face on fire.

When I imagined that stupid scarecrows face as Baek Yu Seols, the destructive power of the magic increased unexpectedly.

Furthermore, Hong Bi-yeon remembered the special lecture from a few days ago.

pretending to be a good commoner.

But, to be honest, it didnt work either.

Surprisingly, after trying to alter my thinking while studying the nonsense quiz, my magic achievement began to soar.

I was able to direct the flames in more varied directions, and I devised a more deliberate strategy for burning the enemy. I was still not confident in solving the three questions of the devil problem, but I had made progress.

Her staff came to a halt when her thoughts reached that point.

He was only a commoner at best, had the worst grades, and the worst personality, but he was the only boy who knew how to compensate for the one flaw she possessed.

Because none of the teachers in the royal family had ever proposed such a unique method as Baek Yu-seols.

Princess.

At the same time, Hong Bi-yeons escort magic knight Yeterin came with a small box.

Yes. What happened?

A parcel has arrived from the artisans. The wand Terifon modification has been completed. Shall I tell him right now?

Uh, yes. It would be better.

Then, I will go and tell him.

After Yeterin said that, as she was about to leave the training ground, Hong Bi-yeon unknowingly grabbed her shoulder.

Whats wrong, princess?

Uh No, leave it. Ill give it to him. I just happened to have something to do on the way.

I see.

As Hong Bi-yeon was handed the box, she let out a deep sigh.

Im crazy

Im not sure what I was thinking when I said Id bring it to him myself.

Anyway, I agreed to do it myself, so I cant say no.

She made her way to the Second Main Tower, where Baek Yu-seol was.

Stella Academys exterior resembled a large mansion, but the 12 main towers and 24 star towers scattered throughout gave it the appearance of a castle rather than a mansion.

The first main tower served as the schools main building, housing the Stellar Academys Stella Magic Knights, the principal and vice-principal, and the board of directors, while the second main tower housed the facultys laboratory.

The fact that he went to the second main tower suggests that he went to see a professor; is there anything like this from the start of the semester? Ive been thinking about it, but Im still not sure.

Student Hong Bi-yeon. Please fill out the entry form.

Hong Bi-yeon, who was about to enter the second main tower, came to her senses.

Why am I doing it myself?

We could meet on campus or at the training ground, but didnt coming all the way here felt like I, a royalty, was chasing after a commoner?

It was self-deprecating.

No. Ill go back.

Hong Bi-yeon walked out of the main tower gate and sighed.

It really annoys me in many ways, that commoner.

Oh, my princess. Whats going on?

At the same time, when she heard a familiar voice, Hong Bi-yeon raised her head with a bright smile.

Ah its been a while, Mr. Hameryl.

Whoa, its not long, but Im teaching here.

Professor Hameryl was a teacher who once taught magic to Hong Bi Yeon in the royal palace. She had a gentle personality and knew how to use elegant magic, so she was more than a role model for Hong Bi-yeon.

She was, in some ways, a true teacher of life. Hong Bi-yeon was sad when she said she was leaving the castle, but it was great to see her again, even in Stella.

What are you doing at the second main tower?

Im going back.

Really? Well, the professors in the Second Main Tower are all going insane right now.

Did something happen?

Nothing happened, but because of that student named Baek Yu-seol, wizards came to visit him, so its very chaotic.

It came out again. That name. Hong asked, pretending not to be interested.

Whats the matter with the commoner?

I dont want to say it, but have you ever fought with Baek?

Thats right

The student did not use any magic.

yes.

Somehow I bowed my head in shame. The other party wasnt even sincere, and I still couldnt beat him. I thought that I had shown an ugliness in front of the teacher I respected.

You dont have to. Because the other party was sincere.

What? But he didnt even use magic?

Its because of his belief.

A belief, what is it?

After seeing the practice today, the principal left a message in person.

Hong Bi-yeon swallowed her saliva. The great archmage, Eltman Eltwin, was watching the practise. Besides, he left a big word

Perhaps the student is to revive the Knighthood that had disappeared in the old days.

K, Knighthood?

Knighthood, a word that had disappeared in old times, but modern people still remembered it.

This was because most of the heroes in fairy tales who stood up with a blade in their hands and fought evil to protect the world were holding swords.

Even in this world where everything goes back to magic, there was still the dream of being a knight who could wield a sword but in the end, it was all a dream.

Everyone falls for the charm, but in reality, the sword was really of no use.

In this day and age, where wizards who deal with thunder and lightning, split the ground and fly in the sky, rule the world, they couldnt exert any power to sharpen their blades.

In other words, knighthood was regarded as a joke these days.

Dont joke, Hong Bi-yeon wanted to say that, but

that commoner didnt actually use magic against me.

He treated the point stick like a sword and dealt with her with only one blinking magic. Thats pretty cool too. <T/N: Looks like shes really the biggest fangirl of our MC>

In other words, Baek Yu-seol did not play a prank on her but faced the situation with a sincere heart while keeping his beliefs.

Besides, not long ago, in exchange for giving a special lecture, he requested that the academys wand be converted into a magic sword. Would he ask me to remodel that precious, upper-intermediate grade wand just for his taste? He wanted to take up the sword, even giving up all other magic.

But I didnt know that either, and I was furious, telling him not to joke around with me.

Is he crazy?

A little yes. Yes.

If someone tells you that they dream of knighthood, people will laugh. Or make fun of it. What was knighthood in this day and age?

However, being born as a commoner, he worked hard enough to enter the worlds most prestigious Stellar Academy, and even entered S-Class and had the strength to fight against her, who raked at fifth

Baek Yu-seol was not joking around, it means that he was sincerely pursuing knighthood.

But: There will be huge penalties for not using magic in the School of Magic? During magic practice time, he will inevitably receive penalty points, and this and that

Yes. The student knew that and decided to walk this path. Isnt it simply great? Because he is pursuing a path that others do not take afraid its difficulty.

As Hong Bi-yeons expression became complicated, Professor Hameryl continued.

Student Baek Yu-seol has already achieved the great feat of controlling the uncontrollable magic of blinking. Even if he walks the path of a wizard in this way, his name will undoubtedly become well-known. Still, to push himself I have no choice but to believe his belief.

Hong Bi-yeon remained silent, and Hameryl apologized for taking so long. She said her goodbyes and walked away.

As the sun began to set, she stood there for a long time, as if nailed to the spot.

What are you doing here?

uh..

Baek Yu-seol walked out of the 2nd main towers main gate, chewing on what looked like a medicinal herb root.

A poor, light gait that had nothing to do with knighthood.

What exactly is knighthood?

Hong Bi-yeon shook her head to shake off the previous story. Because the opposing party was just an unlucky commoner.

Im not here because of you.

Who said that?

Take this.

Oh, Terifon? Hey. Can I have the box? It would be expensive if I sold it.

Hong Bi-yeon ignored whatever Baek Yu-seol had to say.

It was because she believed that if she stayed here any longer, she would be swayed by that strange commoners pace.
