Chapter 17
Orcs are an excellent fighting race.
Excellent strength and stamina stats, of course.
All individuals have the deceptive characteristics of fighting instinct and blood rage from birth, and they become adults at the age of 12.
There are only a handful of races that are superior to the orcs in close combat.
Instead, orcs have clear limitations.
He does not handle mana well, and his overall intelligence is lowered.
It’s only good for close combat.
An archer who shoots a bow from afar, an assassin who appears without a trace and disappears after picking his throat.
There are many professions with bad compatibility with orcs.
Among them, the job with the least compatibility is undoubtedly a wizard.
High-ranking wizards who cause all sorts of bizarre phenomena are more feared than hated by orcs.
Among them, the magic that orcs hate the most is magic that causes abnormalities such as confusion, paralysis, and fear.
Orcs generally have low magic resistance, so they can easily be enchanted by abnormal conditions that a human would not be afflicted with.
No matter how great an orc’s physical ability is, it’s useless to a wizard.
After many years, the orcs did not reject magic and began to learn it.
However, although learning at the academy and horse tower, magic and orcs do not match from birth.
In addition to the infinitely insufficient intelligence to learn magic, the mana intimacy is also low.
So, the best orc wizards of all time are only 5 circles.
The hatred and fear that the Orcs had toward wizards did not disappear for thousands of years.
[··· Now let’s start the match! The long-awaited thirty-fifth match is between Andrew, who is ranked 9th in the grade, and Noctar, who is ranked 71st!]
Andrew and Noctar entered.
But the crowd was silent.
It’s too quiet compared to the slight hustle and bustle of other students entering.
About 100 orcs are enrolled in Elinia Academy.
The Orcs have a very loud voice, so even a few shouts can resonate throughout the arena, but no students chanted Noktar’s name.
“Be strong, Noctar.”
I cheered for Noctar in a low voice.
On the other hand, the elite orcs sitting next to me were also lowering their heads with gloomy faces.
The Faculty of Heroes reigns over all departments of the Academy.
In other words, Noktar, the leader of the elite Orcs of the Braves Faculty, is the leader of all first-year orcs students in the academy.
Of course, it’s a match for the captain to cheer for, but all the orcs are lowering their heads with gloomy faces.
‘I don’t think the orcs would be so afraid of wizards. Seeing it in person makes me feel different.’
No matter how warlike the orcs were, the fear of the sorcerers deeply rooted in their hearts was greater.
Most of the Orc students of the Faculty of Braves are transferred to another department before their third year due to poor grades.
Especially in the Knights Faculty, there are many 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year Orcs from the Braves Faculty.
The high school Orcs looked down at Noktar with sad eyes.
have already experienced it.
Orcs are hard to beat even a wizard with a far lower level.
Even his opponent is Andrew, who is ranked ninth in the grade, with his special skill in status ailment magic.
The more hope we have, the greater the despair that comes back.
Orcs have already learned that despair for thousands of years.
Before long, the high school Orcs also lowered their heads.
However,
Noctar does not hesitate.
“Everyone, raise your head. A true warrior watches the battle of his comrades.”
chuck.
He raised his right arm, which was holding the hatchet, high.
okay. Don’t be afraid, Noctar.
I taught Noctar how to deal with Andrew.
Andrew on this route will later turn into a villain who helps destroy the academy, so he has to cut the buds in advance.
Andrew is a narcissistic guy who considers himself a genius like no other on the continent.
Then, at the end of sophomore year, after being properly educated by Philip, everyone in the school becomes a laughing stock.
After that, you fall back and join the academy destruction.
Andrew is also at the top of the list, and it is more helpful for me to win Noctar, who will fall anyway.
“You can win, Noctar.”
Just doing what you said is enough.
* * *
Noctar came up to the arena with a hatchet in each hand.
During the other students’ matches, cheers came from all over the place, but now it’s very quiet.
Noctar knows the reason better than anyone.
My father, the warchief of the Ashen Desert tribe, told me to beware of wizards, I heard so much that my ears stinged.
The wizard he has to deal with now is ranked 9th in his grade.
Among students whose main focus is magic, he is a strong wizard with the highest rank.
With the exception of some who did not appear on the continent, a wizard with the most outstanding skills among his peers.
His name is Andrew, and at the age of 16, he is a strong man who freely manipulates the 5th circle magic.
However.
‘I will win.’
Based on the method Theo had taught him, he trained non-stop.
When I first heard the relativism method, I thought for a moment, ‘Isn’t that friend crazy?’, but I decided to believe it.
The person you trust once, believes to the end.
That is the orc called Noctar.
“Are you ready?”
Noctar and Andrew nodded in response to the referee’s words.
jii ing.
Perhaps because of Andrew, who is a great wizard, the barrier is hit harder than usual.
[The match has begun~!]
At the same time as Marie’s voice,
‘At first, I said several large fireballs were flying.’
Noctar ran towards Andrew.
OK,
Passion-
As Theo said, large fireballs flew.
The number is about ten.
‘It hits without avoiding it.’
This is called artificially inflated size trickery magic.
Noctar ran as it was.
Puck, puck, puck.
Large fireballs stick to the body.
However, thanks to the [Hard Skin] characteristic, it can withstand this level.
“uh?!”
Confused, Andrew immediately threw the next fireball at Noctar.
It was the same size as before.
‘I told you to avoid the second one.’
When I got hit by one, I just had to survive.
If I rushed like this, I’d be able to grab that wizard by the throat.
However, Noctar avoided as Theo had said.
Kwagwagwang-
A large fireball hit the barrier, causing a roar.
Destructive power enough to break barriers that are not scratched by any magic for a while.
Although they were similar in size, they were fireballs with different depths of condensed mana.
“Hey, ah, la-!”
Noctar threw the hatchet he held in his right hand, while charging Andrew again.
Confused by the fast flying hatchet, Andrew spread his barrier.
However, because it was improvised, the defense was weak.
Cheeky!
The barrier was broken in one room.
Andrew’s mana was gone.
“Huh.”
It was an improvised barrier, but the same amount of mana was used.
But if you didn’t stop it… it was unconditionally over.
‘What the hell is that orc?’
Andrew’s original plan was to clean up with chaos magic after a cheating fireball.
However, that orc also saw through his cheating fireball, avoiding the fireball with a lot of mana, and even induced a barrier.
Everything you have prepared is being countered.
‘You can never lose to an orc.’
Andrew grabbed reason and cast his main specialty, confusion magic.
Any remaining mana is drained.
As a possessor of the [Master of Mana] attribute, Andrew’s magic was completed in an instant—
“Eat this!”
It was cast correctly on Noctar.
‘My victory … … huh?’
Andrew doubted his eyes.
Quick!
Noctar slashed the side of his head with his fist.
While Andrew panicked at the sudden self-injury, blood dripping from Noctar’s side head soaked the floor of the stadium.
It’s like that because it’s an Orc, and if it were an ordinary human, the bone would have been broken.
‘Are you crazy…?’
That feeling didn’t last long.
While Andrew was silent for a moment,
“Woo!”
Noctar let out a roar as the stadium was about to leave.
Battle instinct, blood rage, and the protection of the war god resided in Noctar’s body.
The above three characteristics are activated even when taking damage above a certain level, but Noctar was forcibly activated by self-harm.
The three characteristics overlapped, and Noctar’s stats increased explosively.
But that’s not what Theo was aiming for.
The three characteristics have hidden effects that most people are not aware of.
When activated, it removes weak status abnormalities.
One activation was insufficient to dispel Andrew’s chaos magic.
However, if the three types were activated at the same time, it was decided that the confusion magic that consumed relatively little mana could be dispelled.
“That’s it, Noctar!”
Theo shouted without dignity.
There was a stinging pain, but Theo smiled happily.
As if responding to his voice, Noctar ran to Andrew, bleeding.
Since the 3 types of traits are active, it is more than twice as fast as before.
Whoops-!
Noctar swung his axe with a strong force.
Andrew, who ran out of mana, defended with his arms crossed,
“Okay, ah ah ah ah!”
He flew in the air as he defended himself, and was slammed into the wall under the stands.
Andrew’s over-the-counter
Noctar’s victory
Stunned by the shock, Andrew trembled intermittently.
Both arms are shattered, drooping.
Marie said in a stammering voice, apparently in shock.
[The winner of the thirty-fifth match is-]
But Marie’s words did not continue.
“Woah aah!”
Without questioning who came first, the orcs students who got up in unison shouted.
“Noctar! Noctar! Noctar!”
“Noctar! Nok’tar, the great son of the Warchief of the Ashen Desert!”
Orcs are loud.
Even if only a few people shout, it resonates throughout the stadium.
Naturally, the shouts of about 100 orc students filled the large dome arena and overflowed.
“Woo!”
It’s been quite some time, but the cheers of the orcs did not go out.
No, it got bigger.
[Uh uh … .]
Marie looked at the head professor next to him, Locke, as if asking for help.
But Locke just looked at the crowd with his arms crossed and impressed.
Meanwhile, just like when Noctar entered.
He raised his right arm, which was holding the hatchet, high.
It’s like pouring oil on the scene of a fire.
“Noctar! Noctar! Noctar! Noctar!”
“Finally, the war god’s punishment has come down to the wizard!”
“Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There was also a female orc who wiped away tears.
Would the fanatics who saw the Pope look like that?
It is a scene of madness that fans of Aisha also need to stop.
As if soaked in the afterglow of battle, Noctar trembled his fangs on the arena for a long time before descending.
After such a long commotion, the next fights were held.
and.
[The long-awaited 39th match is between Ralph, 37th in the grade, and Theo, 181st!]
It’s finally my turn.
