chapter 46

In-hwan also checked the wall a little and continued on the only path.
Again, like Seong-hyeon, there was a space prepared for battle, and there was a man standing there waiting for In-hwan to come.
“Twitter, are you coming now? get out.”
‘…Is that person Lee Jung-seok?’
According to the information Seongwook gave, Joong-seok was a strong enough person to fit into his finger in a sophomore year.
Well, that’s why I could have been the class representative.
“What are you looking at so blankly?”
Jungseok’s ability was also a great ability.
Just increased gravity.
He had the ability to manipulate the gravity of the desired area.
Unfortunately, the range was not wide and there was a limit to the gravity that could be increased, but there was no disagreement that it was a tremendous ability.
It belonged to the best ability when dealing with beasts as well as people.
‘Your opponent is too bad.’
Inhwan wrinkled his brow.
I had already heard from Seongwook about how much gravity could be strengthened, so I could prepare for it, but if I weakened it on the contrary, there was no way to prepare.
“Then shall I start first?”
The moment Jung-seok was about to make a move, In-hwan moved first.
‘Fire.’
The ability to burn the opponent’s inner side and release magical power.
‘No matter how great the ability to control gravity, the magic is not infinite.’
Inhwan’s speech was also close to an unavoidable ability, so even Joong-seok would not be able to leave this place intact.
‘…uh?’
But the ability was not used.
It was not simply unwritten, and as soon as he tried to use the utterance, Inhwan collapsed on the spot with a strange pain in his chest.
“Well? what are you doing? What are you going to do by yourself and now you are sitting alone again?”
“this person…!”
In-hwan looked at Joong-seok with slightly bloodshot eyes at the chest pain that was getting worse.
The obvious ridicule seemed to now know the cause of this pain.
“Hey, it looks like you’re not feeling well. I can’t help it.”
“this…”
Joong-seok approached Seong-wook for a definite finish.
Since he was well aware of Seonghyeon’s abilities, it was obvious that if he gave him a little bit of room, he would immediately recover and join the battle.
“Um… just lie down for ten minutes.”
“profit!!”
“Sister, don’t be too harsh. The more you use it, the worse the pain will be.”
Joong-seok, who had stretched out his hand to control gravity, felt the pain in his body burn and his magical power evaporated.
“Kuwu…”
“This bastard…!”
Inhwan gave back the ridicule he had received and lost his mind like that.
Joong-seok clenched his fists and drew a vein on his forehead, looked at In-hwan, who fainted, and then left.
The performance was no different.
He endured a little longer than Inhwan, but the pain in his chest felt as he entered the rampage was getting worse as time passed.
“Hey, you’re a freshman, you’re holding up pretty well.”
Jeonghwan truly respected Sangyeon.
If I asked him if he had this level of ability in his freshman year, of course, the answer was no.
“…Get rid of the word on your lips.”
“It is sincere. If you hadn’t been buried by that person…you might have taken off.”
“…”
Sang-yeon could feel that Jung-hwan’s words were sincere.
But now we have to fight.
I had to somehow defeat the opponent in front of me and move on.
‘Damn… the pain…!’
Sangyeon bit her lips.
I tried to endure it somehow, but now my hands are starting to tremble as the pain intensifies.
It wasn’t just the pain that mattered.
Junghwan’s ability is to strengthen the area.
It was an ability that made me wonder how he got into the academy if he looked at his abilities, but strengthening the parts was a better ability than I had imagined.
“…this has been good enough. Just give up.”
“There is no giving up…!”
He squeezed his last strength and rushed to Jeonghwan, but Sangyeon lost consciousness while rushing.
“…”
Jeonghwan put Sangyeon down next to him, looked down for a while, and then moved to the center.
“…what. Are you Kim Dae-hyun?”
Jung-seok, who was approaching the cup of victory in the center, wrinkled his brow at Seong-hyeon’s appearance and stopped there.
“This is annoying. I think Kim Seong-hyun is the leader, shall we deal with it quickly?”
“okay.”
“…it’s blunt.”
Jeong-hwan, a friend of Jin-seok, who is a friend of his own team and has faith in Seong-hyeon, gave a gentle glance to Seong-hyeon.
“It’s amazing… how did our juniors beat Daehyun?”
There was a sense of incongruity in Joong-seok’s face.
‘what?’
It’s not an expression that I didn’t expect, but an expression that seems like it shouldn’t be.
And he looked like he had a reason to do so.
Seong-hyeon was well aware of their abilities.
The middle stone is gravity controlled. Jeonghwan strengthens the area.
‘2:1 is a bit…’
I thought they might be relaxed, but the seniors weren’t that soft.
Still, the strategy itself was simple.
The most annoying gravity manipulation strategy is to tie it up with a stigma, and Jeonghwan directly deals with it.
Actually, there was no other option than this.
“It’s a little embarrassing because it’s 2:1 against the first graders, but please understand. It’s a fight…”
Joong-seok could not finish his words and grabbed the area near his heart in the rushing pain.
“Uh, what’s going on?”
Junghwan looked at Jungseok with bewildered eyes.
“Rice, it’s not a big deal, so hurry up!”
Jungseok also didn’t know the cause.
It was not bothering me at all, as the level of pain that really prevented me from using my abilities was coming.
Jung-hwan realized that Jung-seok could not participate in the battle and didn’t pay attention to him anymore.
‘It is the most difficult opponent.’
Jeonghwan approached Seonghyeon without any worries, and even felt like a knight in the Middle Ages.
‘It’s true that I’m worried about using the stigmata.’
Since he was constantly paying attention, it seemed that the first thing to do was to increase the strength of the stigmata and make the middle stone in a state of incapacity for battle.
‘For now…’
I was trying to strengthen the stigma a little, but just like Inhwan and Sangyeon did, pain came from near the heart.
Seong-hyeon was accustomed to enduring pain with the recoil of healing power, but even Seong-hyeon could not get past the sudden pain that came without any preparation.
“Cuckoo!”
“Wow, what…”
Jung-seok and Seong-hyeon both grabbed their hearts and sat down on the floor, so Jeong-hwan looked at them in turn, confused.
And when Seong-hyeon sat down like that, Jeong-hwan, who had just sat down holding his heart, got up in a cold sweat.
“Huh, that’s a surprise. I thought you ate it wrong.”
“What? What do you mean eating wrong?”
Junghwan looked at Jungseok with a puzzled expression at Jungseok’s words and asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing. get it done quickly It’s a little hard for me to move right now.”
“No, I have to listen. What does it mean to think you ate the wrong thing?”
“…I was just joking around.”
“joke?”
Since the pain had not yet subsided, Seonghyeon was sitting with a wrinkled brow, while Junghwan and Jungseok were having a conversation.
‘What are you talking about? Did you think I ate the wrong thing?’
“Speak right. It’s a joke.”
“…I was just joking around at lunch.”
“You, maybe you…”
Jung-seok turned away from Jeong-hwan’s gaze.
He’s usually a savvy guy, so he doesn’t feel like he can communicate well, because he didn’t know what would happen if he found out he had used this method.
‘Maybe that lunch?’
It tasted a little sour for a while, but it was like poison was added to the luncheon.
‘But when it comes to lunch, not only us but everyone else…’
“Then, what about the other students?”
“Why are you worried about them?”
“What?”
“…don’t worry about them. Only the number of people designated in advance will be effective.”
“…”
Jungkook took a deep breath and stood up.
“what are you doing? Let’s finish it quickly and let’s go.”
Jung-seok slightly pushed Jeong-hwan, who was blocking his way, and headed towards Seong-hyeon.
“no. You cannot have such a dirty victory.”
“What bullshit!”
“Do you release poison? Is that what a man would do?”
“…Isn’t it better if you go up anyway? Are you going to get rid of that filthy pretense?”
Junghwan sighed.
It was disgraceful to have released the poison itself, but in addition to that, when I thought about the kindness that Seong-hyeon had bestowed on his friend Jin-seok, the feeling of guilt kept growing.
“No, I do not tolerate it.”
“This asshole…!”
Junghwan turned and headed towards the center.
Then he raised the cup of victory and looked at the middle seat.
“…you put it down. No, bring it.”
However, Junghwan took the cup of victory and headed straight to Seonghyeon.
“…”
“Are you okay?”
“why…”
When Seong-hyeon looked at him with confused eyes, Jeong-hwan realized that his choice was the more correct one.
“take it.”
Seong-hyeon did not reject Jeong-hwan’s favor.
In fact, the present pain was not a big problem for Sung-hyun.
However, looking at the atmosphere, I thought it would be good to watch the situation a little more, so I just didn’t show any movement.
‘purification.’
I felt a little more pain the moment I used the cleanse, but after using the cleanse, I didn’t feel any pain at all.
“thank you.”
“Are you okay, are you okay?”
“sure. He’s a healer.”
“…”
Seong-hyeon accepted the cup of victory and started walking towards the other side’s camp, ignoring Jung-seok.
“You bastard bastard! Stop…”
Joong-seok couldn’t finish his speech.
The pain that disappeared as Seong-hyeon collapsed in pain began to come back when Seong-hyun returned.
‘Hey, what the hell is this…’
I hit my chest a few times and tried the antidote I had prepared for an unexpected situation, but the pain got worse and worse, showing no sign of getting any better.
“Why, why are you poisoned…!”
It was not yet the time to be deciphered, but Seong-hyeon seemed to have no problem.
“Seniors. That’s the healer.”
“this…!”
Seong-hyeon tried to head to the opponent’s starting place while keeping the stigma intact.
“Ugh…!”
“Heh heh, heh heh…”
However, as the door opened at the same time from the two entrances on the other side, a moan could be heard.
“…”
“…”
Inhwan and Sangyeon, who faced each other at the same time, burst into laughter at the same time.
“You pathetic bastard.”
“Weak bastard.”
The two of them smiled and looked around with Sunghyun.
“I don’t know what happened, but I think Seonghyun won?”
“Kim Seong-hyun, that… treat me…”
Sung-hyun, who felt something new when he heard Sang-yeon’s request for treatment directly, smiled and turned to the two of them.
‘purification.’
When I used Healing at the same time as Purification, the two of them who had just crawled into the room were refreshed as if they had ever done so.
“After all, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart.”
“What? you also?”
Seonghyeon briefly explained what had happened, and both of them looked at Joong-seok, who was lying down with their foreheads wrinkled at the same time.
“Hey, do you do that because you’re scared of first graders?”
“There was another really pathetic bastard.”
“…I apologize on behalf of the second graders.”
Jeonghwan bowed deeply and apologized, and Inhwan replied as if nothing had happened.
“Still, didn’t we do that out of fear?”
“That too. It’s a testament to how strong we are.”
The three of them went to each other’s starting place, holding the cup of victory together with a satisfied expression.
