NOVEL NEXT chapter 22
22 – Blessing of Growth
──.
Right after Deuce finished speaking, Picked up a faint echo.
That’s a very small flow of magical power.
The flow was so minute that even I felt it, I wondered if I was mistaken.
… However, thinking that it is an illusion but not confirming it is also uncomfortable.
Swipe-
I turned on my ‘Observation Eye’ and glanced at the sky where I could feel the flow of magical power, only moving my eyes.
… And a fleeting moment to recognize ‘it’.
‘───!!!’
Fear covered his whole body.
“……Duh…?!”
I managed to swallow the scream that was about to burst out in an instant.
… And immediately, by exerting the supernatural ability of To its fullest, it calms down the frightened body and confused mind.
‘…… Whoa, good. It calmed down.’
The mind and body become calm in an instant.
And then I rolled my eyes and checked to see if anyone had noticed my sudden strange behavior.
‘…… Good. I don’t think anyone noticed anything wrong with what I did….’
… Well, as soon as I recognized ‘that’, I immediately activated .
Even if he had been staring at me from the beginning, it would be hard to notice.
‘… Then you’ve made up your mind Let’s take a closer look once again… ‘
I moved only my eyes again and observed ‘it’ above the sky.
───… ….
‘It’ is like a volcano on the verge of erupting, a typhoon that uproots large skyscrapers, or a tsunami that covers the continent right in front of you.
It was a ‘flow of magical power’ that felt as if a huge natural disaster was approaching, not violent, even awe-inspiring.
Kicking Geek——!
Just by looking at it, the observation eye that can directly see mana screams.
In the sky, there was a huge amount of mana that I couldn’t even fathom.
But the scariest thing is….
‘No one here…. I don’t notice that enormous magical power….’
Even though magic powers that could easily break a mountain by simply pouring out magic were raging overhead.
No one is aware of that.
As much as it gives goosebumps, it has excellent magical control.
If the owner of that magical power had been an enemy, he would have turned into a cold corpse without being able to resist properly.
‘Wow…. This is completely, it feels like sanity is dropping in real time….’
Has anyone really noticed that?
‘… No. There seems to be one other person besides me who noticed.’
“……?”
When you are secretly looking around
I noticed a chilly doll-like girl raising her head and looking up at the sky.
A girl tilting her head slightly with an indifferent expression.
Perhaps that girl felt the small flow of magic that I had noticed for the first time.
But the girl didn’t show much reaction…….
‘… But. Unless you can see mana directly, you won’t feel a direct threat like me.’
If I had been able to see Mana myself, I wouldn’t have passed with such a small reaction.
And after observing the surroundings, what I did was….
‘… Pretending not to notice anything.’
I acted as if I didn’t feel anything wrong, just like the people around me.
‘If I advertise that I noticed it here, it will only attract the attention of the Demonic Church….’
The people standing around me are some of the best talents on this continent.
Are these people advertising that I noticed something that even these people didn’t notice?
This is no different from meeting with the Demonic Cult.
‘… I wouldn’t know if it was later, let’s hear about the halfway ability. I’m just getting roughed up by the Demonic Cultists….’
Even now, just thinking about talking to the sky about magic.
The Twisted his whole body to warn him.
While I was so immersed in thought, a buzz around me woke me up from my thoughts.
“…What is that?!”
“Where the hell, since when did something like that…?”
Woong Sung Woong Sung-
One by one, the gazes around them began to turn toward the sky.
The tip of their line of sight is a magic circle that is so huge that it covers the entire Colosseum.
The faces of the people who saw the magic circle began to turn red with surprise.
It must be surprising that no one noticed while such a huge magic circle was being engraved in the sky.
“……Ugh!?”
“Hee, hee hee…”
Noticing that fact, some people’s complexions turned blue or hardened.
They must have realized that if that magic circle was offensive magic, they would have left this world without being able to do anything….
Paaah!
A complete magic circle, as if the commotion below didn’t matter at all.
Ugh ung ung ung—–!!!!!
Immediately after completion, dozens of magic circles are formed one after another under the huge magic circle.
As they approached us, the magic circle that formed gradually got smaller.
The last magic circle formed was so small that it barely contained 30 people on top of the arena.
Ugh-
At the end of the magic circle under your feet, a magic circle that no longer expands.
If you look at it from a distance, wouldn’t it be in the shape of an upside-down cone….
“…Is it over?”
Wow!!!
A word from a girl.
Immediately after those words came out, all the magic circles went crazy at once.
Everyone’s eyes are on the girl.
“Oh, no! I didn’t do it!”
Swipe!
A girl who shook her head desperately in denial, perhaps embarrassed herself, not even noticing that she was using a dialect.
It was the magic circle that ended that awkward situation.
“…Oh, hot!”
“…What, what?!”
At the same time the magic circle emits light, a burning sensation comes to the back of the hand.
The heat, like lighting a cigarette, lingered for a while, and then a pattern was engraved on the back of the hand.
Kwaak-
‘…… Huh? What?’
The moment all the patterns are engraved.
I felt as if my body and mind were connected to something.
Connecting a hose that draws water from the sea to the back of your hand.
The energy filtered through the pattern permeates the whole body, and a strange sensation as if the body and mind are transported to a higher place.
When I look around, I feel like I am the only one who feels that sensation.
Others were just examining the pattern on the back of their hand.
I also lowered my head and examined the pattern on the back of my hand.
“…This. A chain…?”
The pattern engraved on the back of the hand was a magic circle with a pentagram consisting of pure white chains.
A magic circle made up of 6 chains.
Unbeknownst to me, an exclamation almost leaked out.
‘…… Awesome.’
The magic circle that I looked at with my observation eye, each chain was made up of very advanced techniques.
To the extent that I wonder if each one is the highest level of magic. A complex bizarre spell.
What’s most amazing is that even though the 6 complicated spells are intertwined.
The magic circles that do not interfere with each other, move organically, and amplify each other’s effects.
Rather, it was like a work of art.
The time when I was staring at the pattern on the back of my hand and observing it.
Sleep-
The pattern on the back of the hand changed to transparent and disappeared.
“Uh, uh. Why did this disappear!?”
Looks like I’m not the only one with the missing pattern. The number of panicked people gradually increased.
At that moment, Deuce’s voice was heard as if to dispel the embarrassment.
“Don’t worry, human. They didn’t disappear, they became invisible.”
“…Why?’
“It’s because if someone studies the pattern, something big will happen. The Spell has a very dangerous potential. It’s a top-secret spell that can only be used inside Valhalla Academy.”
I was curious after hearing that, so I reflexively opened my observation eye and tried to observe.
As if Deuce had forgotten, when the next words reached my ears, I immediately stopped.
“Ah. I’m just saying it just in case.
Stop the humans who want to observe the . It contains ultra-high security techniques that even wizards who have reached the “Heroic level” Cannot solve…. If the glyph is being observed, it is ‘recognized’ for a moment. The Instantly destroys itself. Also, in the case of intentionally damaging protection. At Valhalla Academy, you may be forcibly ‘expelled’. Be careful.”
… Are you talking about me at the moment? Sneak, look up at Deuce.
Deuce’s eyes weren’t on me, but on the people who were supposed to be in the magic department next to me.
“…Ugh.”
“Sorry…”
The Department of Magic, where Deuce’s gaze flinched as if stabbed, or smacked his lips in regret.
…… Phew! I knew it was stuck….
“Let’s go. Everyone, focus. Humans.”
Deuce calms the noisy hall.
In this way, Deuce, who gathered the attention of the people in the hall, continued to speak.
“Then, the ceremony for granting Has ended safely. Let me explain about the 3rd test…”
“Hey, marble head.”
The reason Deuce cut off his words when he was about to explain.
Somewhere, it was a voice full of dissatisfaction.
Deuce looked at the source of the voice with a look of displeasure.
There, there was a man with a languid impression, with knuckles that felt magical on his hands, and red hair that seemed to be stained with blood.
He was standing with his hands in his pants pockets.
