The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 26: Duel (4)



Chapter 26: Duel (4)

Duel (4)

-Crunch!

I could hear the noise of something breaking. Intense pain surged through my body, accompanied by a floating sensation.

Blood exploded from my mouth like a faucet, but I had gotten what I wanted.

[You have achieved a complete victory. Please choose a skill you wish to copy]

The system window popped up, informing me I had achieved a complete victory.

Still, the professor continued to keep his distance.

I had gotten near him, but I didnt have any skills that were able to hurt him.

Are you messing around? What on earth are you doing?

Who knows?

[Stealth] costs an extreme amount of mana to use. You used it just to get close to me?

I won, though?

It seems words wont work on you.

The emotion of feeling defeated.

I didnt really think it would work, but I just had to make him subconsciously think he had lost at something.

I maintained a calm expression, but internally, I was rather surprised. The skill itself seemed to favor the user.

Well, at least it helps me.

Once this fight ends, Ill have to do some experimentation with this skill.

I might be able to use it in far more places than I originally thought, and I also might need to adjust my original theory.

This was something I should think about after I had won, but I was confident that this fight was over.

I just realized something with that last attack.

That youre going to lose?

That skill you showed me earlier either takes a while to charge up, or the conditions are difficult to meet. If it was that easy to use, you probably wouldve stopped that explosion earlier.

Professor Park Ki-yeol smiled manically, sure of his theory. Was the reason his explosion was weaker than normal because he wanted to test it?

As he spoke, I could feel the flow of mana surrounding him begin to increase once more.

Ill admit it. You are strong. If we were similar in ability, you certainly would have won.

Thanks for the compliment.

Now die.

With those words, a two-meter-wide hexagon-shaped ball of mana surrounded me. It was similar to what was surrounding the arena, yet it was far more condensed.

-Whoosh!

As it began to wriggle and crackle, many spikes appeared along with a noise, attacking me from all sides.

Its the same as your first attack. This shit wont work anymore.

While my ability to move was weakened, it was the same attack.

At that time, I couldnt even react, but now. I could destroy it.

-Crash!

You even managed to destroy that?

Like I said. If you want to beat me, you have to try harder.

Using that unknown skill, I casually destroyed the attack itself.

By the way, arent you taking a big risk?

Im not sure what youre saying.

Even if the academy takes your side, I wonder what the public will think of you. Wouldnt everyone who was watching our fight be asking questions? Soon, theyll come to arrest you.

Ha, what a joke. Acting so relaxed when your body is in that state.

Giving me an incredulous look, he appeared completely calm on the outside, but I could see past his mask.

Using the [Eye of Greed], I could see his true emotions. He was fearful of what might occur and had subconsciously recognized it on some level.

Should I tease him a bit more?

I had prepared everything I needed.

I hadnt managed to prepare it before we began fighting, but I had managed to complete it as we fought.

Now, I just needed to find the right moment to implement this strategy.

You think you can do anything, especially after losing your sword?

And yet, you still arent able to beat me.

Fine. If you so desire, Ill use everything.

-Rumble

With a deafening noise, mana began to move violently, as if going against the natural flow.

The same spears that had appeared earlier began to form.

You told me the same attack wouldnt work Im curious to see if thats true.

Wont you need more than that?

There are over a hundred spears equal in power to the ones I made earlier using the maximum amount of mana in the surrounding area. Even a 5th stage Awakener would take massive damage. In your case, youll die.

Spears continued to appear in response to his words. It was almost as if they were duplicating, but the mana concentrated in each spear did not go down.

It was almost like they were getting stronger. Now, there were about three hundred spears in total.

This is the strongest attack I can form. It will be impossible for you to dodge this unless you have that skill from earlier.

I focused, knowing that even if they brushed past me, I would take a fatal blow.

In addition, because of how condensed the mana was in each spear, its speed would have increased as much as its power. Because he knew that, he seemed even more confident in himself.

With this much

This was really his final attack. Squeezing out the last of my mana, I said casually,

By the way, did you know?

Are you going to tell me your final words? I would advise you not to do anything pointless.

No, its important. Do you know how many spears you made?

Why do you care?

Even if youre a professor, dont you think this is a bit reckless?

Unable to understand my intent, he stared at me confusedly.

At that moment, I was sure of my victory.

The fact that he hadnt noticed meant that I would surely win.

Are you trying to buy time to get help? How pathetic.

It seems you really dont know.

Right until the end, I dont understand you. Even talking with you is boring, so Ill end it.

As he finished speaking, many spears flew toward me with incredible speed.

It was beyond my ability to dodge.

The moment before that attack was about to hit me, it happened.

Cough.

Suddenly, all of the attacks vanished, and the professor began to cough up blood.

Unable to maintain his focus due to his substantial injury, the skill he was controlling dissipated.

What on earth?

Confused, Professor Park Ki-yeol looked at the spear-like object that had pierced through him.

Are you sure you used your full power? If you got hit directly by even one, you would die, but you made so many for me.

What are you

Because you made so many, it was impossible for you to determine if there were any fakes mixed in.

When the system asked me what skill I would like to copy, I naturally selected Mana Control.

The reason I copied his primary skill was because I could copy both the shape and form of his attack.

After watching you get injured by your own skill earlier, I was sure that you werent aware of everything. Otherwise, you wouldve dodged or blocked that spear as it flew toward you.

So you also had [Mana Control]?

Thats not exactly right, but Ill give you a passing mark.

Then why didnt you use it? Compared to the skills you have now, that skill would have been far more useful.

Doesnt everyone say to save the best for last?

-Boom!

Smiling at him widely, I used the last of my mana to blow up the spear embedded in his body.

Professor Park Ki-yeols injuries began to bleed profusely as a result.

I should finish it.

Picking up the sword I had thrown at him earlier, I prepared to end it.

Remove any regrets and stop the possibility of the professor ever returning again.

And I would accomplish that by killing him.

As you said, lets finish this. Ill use your skill well.

Raising the blade high, I used all my strength, preparing to strike him down.

Because he was a 4th stage Awakener, I wouldnt be able to hurt him normally. However, he was currently unable to move because of his injuries, so it was much easier to kill him.

I swung my blade downward.

At that moment, I heard a voice. Stop.

With a crunch, my sword had been completely shattered by an unknown attack.

As I turned to find the culprit, I saw him.

Hes finally here.

That disgusting, familiar face.

The chairman.

The owner of this academy finally appeared.
