The duel is over.
"Winner, Aidan!"
Along with the jury, cheers were heard from the audience.
All of them were the cries of the ordinary students who had come to cheer Aidan up.
"Aidan! You're cool!"
"You're so stupid!"
"You're great! When did you learn that skill?"
The excitement of Leo and Tessie is significant.
Instead, the aristocratic students blatantly expressed their displeasure and then glared at Jevan who was sprawled on the floor in defeat.
"Tsk. Jevan, that bastard, has shamed the honor of the aristocracy."
"He's always a bitch. He's just a baron, and yet he's trying to trick us as if he's something, and it gets troublesome."
"I can't believe he lost against an ordinary person. He's a disgrace to the aristocracy."
The words that sounded noisy were extremely sharp.
Jevan looked around with a blank face.
'I'm lost?"
He didn't believe it was real
But when he tried to wake up from this dream, he did not wake up. Because it's not a dream, it's a reality.
The scornful gazes and criticisms flying towards him were all real.
On that stage, it was not him, but the little commoner he had been looking down on who was drunk with the joy of victory.
'No. Something, there must be something wrong here!'
There's no way he's losing.
'Yes. There must be some mistake. That dirty commoner must have used some kind of cowardly dirty play.'
If that wasn't the case, then there was no way he could use magic while moving.
'This damned commoner!'
Bluster.
Jevan has removed the fact that he secretly drank the potion and drugged it from his head.
If he knew that it was a shameful act, he would not have done it.
All he left behind was an endless hatred towards the commoners who had insulted him in front of everyone and his desire to kill the commoners.
'I'll kill you!'
Jevan started blackmailing all his MPs.
When everyone was so focused on Aidan that he was the winner, no one was aware of Jevan's behavior.
Anyone would think so.
Who would have thought that the man who lost the fight suddenly got up and used a spell as a surprise attack?
Jevan squeezed out all the mana and prepared a second level spell.
It took about four seconds before the spell was cast.
It was quite a long duration if his opponent focused on him and dealt with incantations, but four seconds was a very short duration when everyone was off guard.
"Oh?"
Aidan was the first to realize the strangeness. There was something wrong with the spirit that Jevan emitted as he lowered his head.
As he looked back at Jevan, his eyes met Jevan's eyes glaring at him.
"Jevan?"
Jevan's teary eyes due to killing intent were bent like a crescent moon.
And what Aidan saw was the spell technique he had secretly applied.
It was second-rate fire magic, Raging Wave.
Now that the duel was over, Aidan had removed the safety device attached to his body.
Moreover, Raging Wave was the attack with the widest coverage among second-rate magic, making it almost impossible to avoid it.
However, it was impossible for him to defend himself as time was running out.
Magic has been cast.
The red flames whirled and surged towards him.
"Oh, ooh?"
The judge who was about to check Aidan's physical condition was confused.
Never thinking Jevan would do it, he hurriedly took out his staff and filled the mana.
He was an employee of Soren, but he could also use magic to some extent.
But it's too late.
The spell had already reached right under his nose.
The hot flames approached them like waves that would engulf them.
Fwoosh's.
Aidan moved his body before thinking.
Aidan, who bounced like a spring, grabbed the judge by the back of the neck, then threw the judge on his back.
Then he grasped the sword-shaped stick with his hand.
In the slow flow of time, he could see the shocked audience with his eyes wide open.
The professors also jumped from their seats one by one as they were late realizing the situation.
But it was too late for them to step up.
—Because the fire wave just reached Aidan.
"Maidan!"
Tessie's screams echoed throughout the stadium.
But Aidan did not look at her.
He kept his gaze fixed forward and raised his sword-shaped staff.
He asked where ...
And the flame.
Whoooooooshes!
"Oh?"
"W-what?"
Then, something unbelievable happened.
Following the trajectory of Aidan's wand, the Raging Wave magic that Jevan used split right in the middle and scattered.
Whiiirrrear.
Finally, the Raging Wave lost its power and disappeared after it scattered into the air.
"What... just happened?"
"He cut... his spell?"
While the students were mumbling blankly at the incomprehensible sight …
Ludger looked at Aidan as if he knew it was going to happen.
'Did he use that spell because it was a moment of crisis?'
Aidan is a magician who can use Unusual Magic.
Unlike the other four types, it is rarely properly classified by modern magic, and the widely unknown spells form the mainstream classification.
It was the same as what Aidan had just used.
One of the Rare Witches, Anti-Magic.
In other words…
The spell that erases another spell.
What Aidan used was exactly that.
"No.. No way!"
Chris almost fainted.
He had already gone mad because of Jevan's cowardly actions, and worse, Aidan, who he thought was an ordinary person, had used Anti-Magic.
'Don't tell me. The man already knows...!'
Chris turned to Ludger.
He sat quietly in his chair and was not surprised when Aidan was attacked.
It's not that he wasn't surprised.
The man had no reason to be surprised from the start.
—Because he already knows everything.
He already knew that Aidan would win the competition and that Aidan was the owner of Unusual Magic.
"Oh my God."
Same with Jevan Felio.
When he saw the Raging Wave that he had used with all of his MP disappeared in vain…
He looks stunned.
Aidan walked towards Jevan who had completely lost his fighting spirit.
"Jevan…"
"You, how did you do that? Why do ordinary people use that magic…?."
"That's her. Smell your teeth."
"What?"
Before Jevan could ask again, Aidan moved on.
Bam!
His clenched hand hit Jevan's cheek hard.
Jevan's body rolled on the ground.
Staring at the falling Jevan, Aidan spoke while staring intently at him.
"I thought you would at least accept your defeat well, but I didn't know that you would be this much trash."
Jevan could not answer.
He was already completely defeated physically and mentally by Aidan, so he could not maintain his rationality.
The judge rushed out late and examined Aidan's body.
"Aidan! Are you all right?"
"Yes, I'm fine. But are you all right, sir? Are you hurt?"
"Oh, no. Thanks you. I thank you. I'd be in danger if it wasn't for you."
Aidan said that it was nothing for the judge, who kept his head down and instead apologized.
The professors and the audience, who were watching the scene, would definitely see Aidan from a new point of view.
"Yes God. I heard he's the owner of Anti-Magic, so it's real."
Mary Ross, who had vaguely heard some news about Aidan, put her hand on his mouth and chuckled.
The expressions of Hugo and Chris, on the contrary, were very sad.
Only Ludger expected that to happen and maintained his unchanging attitude.
The response of the students was quite enthusiastic.
"Have you just seen it? He cut magic with a knife!"
"Basic idiot. It's not a sword but a stick."
"Whatever it is!"
"Although that's the case, I don't feel like he's chanting a different spell. What'sthat?"
"He erases magic? Is that possible?"
For students who were unaware of the existence of Anti-Magic, Aidan's appearance was almost like a fairy tale.
After the unbelief thing that Jevan did…
The magic of Aidan is so great that even unexpected events can be forgotten in an instant.
Among the shocked students, there were some who noticed what Aidan's magic really was.
"That boy... Did he just use Anti-Magic?"
A beautiful girl with white hair and a snow-cold impression stared intently at Aidan.
His tone seemed to think that Aidan was inferior to him, but he was also one of the freshmen who had just entered Soen.
The girl was definitely enough to talk about as the one who held the best position among the new students of Soeren.
He was the best student to enter the Academy that year and the most promising outstanding rookie of the magic tower.
—Julia Plumheart.
He looked at Aidan with interest.
'At first I just wanted to spend some time, so I came to look around here for fun. I saw something interesting.'
With his personality, he did not even care about such an event.
—Because no one was curious about the outcome of the duel of the students.
However, back then, the incident was bigger, and it had turned into a fight between commoners and nobles and not just between students.
Moreover, the news that it had become a battle of pride between the two professors had spread after that, so he had only come to see the duel briefly.
'When they fight for the first time, it's so terrible that it's hard for me to keep my eyes open, and I think I'll be right back.'
He's glad he didn't leave.
He could not believe that he was witnessing Anti-Magic in such a place.
'It's Aidan, right? Where do ordinary people learn to do Anti-Magic? Hm. I'm a little interested.'
Julia leaves the stadium when she sees Aidan knock out Jevan.
In addition to Julia, there are also some people who are interested in the magic that Aidan shows.
It was the same for Freuden, who had the most power in his second year and played the head of an aristocratic faction.
'Is his name Aidan?'
When Jevan, Baron Felio's eldest son who wanted to join his faction, said he would fight Aidan…
Freuden did not bother to stop him. His true intention was that he didn't even care about it from the start.
No matter who Jevan was fighting with, he thought it was fine as long as Jevan did not become aggressive towards him.
Who would have thought that the opponent Jevan had fought against was an ordinary person who could use Anti-Magic.
'I heard all the newcomers in the first year can't be looked down upon, so that's true.'
Freuden has a personality that can admit things neatly.
He really appreciates Anti Magic Aidan.
Of course, he had no idea how much Aidan could deal with Anti-Magic, but his value as a human was at least higher than that of a noble.
"Let's go."
Freuden stood up from her seat while glancing at the fallen Jevan with a pitiful look one last time.
The students of his faction stood in line following Freuden.
Before Freuden left, he glanced at Ludger, who was sitting in the professor's chair.
'The professor...'
Freuden, who had been staring at him for a while, immediately turned her eyes away as if she had no interest in him and left the stadium.
That was how people went one by one and made a lot of fuss about the duel incident that day.
The emergence of new wonders.
—Aidan, a magician who can use Anti-Magic.
"Gosh my god."
Aidan scratched his head.
He originally had no intention of using Anti-Magic in a duel.
Well, he also had no intention of using it in the future while studying at Soeren.
His teacher said that such magic was very important, so he should not use it unless he was really in crisis. If he did not do as his teacher ordered, he would get into trouble.
'So this is what my teacher meant.'
Looking at the excited eyes of the students who had already placed high hopes on him, Aidan instinctively felt that his life in the academy would be very tiring in the future.
'Oh yes.'
Aidan immediately turned his head to the place where the professor's special chair existed.
—It was to find Ludger, who had helped him win the fight.
Fortunately, Ludger remained in place, and it was not difficult for Aidan to find him.
Ludger's black clothes really stood out.
Ludger had his usual facial expression and did not look happy because Aidan won the duel.
After the two looked at each other in silence ...
Nodding.
Ludger only nodded once.
“…!”
Of course, that was enough for Aidan.
When Ludger admitted that he was doing well, Aidan finally realized that he had gained the victory.
"Maidan!"
"You did well! You won!"
Tessie and Leo came up to Aidan and smiled radiantly. Aidan smiled at his friends.
After watching the three for a while, Ludger got up from his seat.
Since the duel is over, it's time for another affair.
"Professor Chris."
Chris Benimore, who was standing uncomfortably in his place the entire time, shuddered at Ludger's call.
His eyes turned to Ludger.
"We still have our own business, right?"
Chris' face collapsed even more severely at his words.
