Chapter Chapter 70: 8. If you do it, it works. (9) (2/2)

“You know that I’m quite handy with the sword as well, yes?”

“I know that!”

The first time Professor Harian pulled out a sword I was so surprised I ended up losing that fight, and the second time I lost because I was startled because of that blue aura.

But according to Professor Harian, all elves learned swordsmanship and archery when they were young.

After that, depending on your talents you would go on to learn magic, summoning or some other different career, and considering that she’d learnt her swordsmanship as a child, it was extremely skillful.

“Awaken… Boreas!”

And that blue aura.

At first it looked like sword aura, and in reality it had enough power to fight against sword aura, but that was not sword aura.

It was compressed wind, that only a god could produce.

The concentrated strength of Boreas, the god of the North Wind was powerful enough to even put sword aura under strain.

Normally she started swinging after calling “Awaken, Tempest!”,(1) but all of a sudden the silver devil showed up and smacked her side saying “owner said not ta say that!” and so she changed it to “Awaken Boreas.”

Rumours had it that later an extremely annoyed Professor Harian would go to Professor Nicerwin to complain, but instead he grumbled “a dangerous new release…” and other nonsensical comments and on the contrary Professor Harian was scolded instead.

“Diee!”

“We cannot do that!”

I could have parried away the powerful slash away with my spear but then that would have cost a considerable amount of mana.

A brute force battle of magic power against an elf, who had a much greater mana reserves was impossible.

And so I too, used my power as a summoner.

“Goddess!”

-I know!

I requested my goddess and used her strength.

What I summoned was the shield that even the goddess said was the strongest shield, Aegis.

“Tch, an annoying thing again!”

I blocked Professor Harian’s sword with a shield.

-Take this! Petrifying Light!

At the same time the goddess used the shield to shine a bright light.

The monster Medusa which was said to turn her enemies into stone just by meeting eye contact.

And the hero who slew that Medusa was said to have offered her head to Athena as a sacrifice.

And afterwards, that head became one with the shield Aegis, and thanks to that the goddess’s shield became the strongest weapon, capable of both offence and defense!

“Muamm! Switch!”

“Is it the god’s shield already?”

“Yep! So hurry and switch!”

I stabbed my short spear that I used with my shield forward but Professor Harian dodged my attack with her eyes closed.

“It’s not easy over here either!”

“I know that! There’s no easy student in our academy!”

Professor Harian instantly took distance from me and at the same time blocked the attacks of numerous students that surrounded her.

With the natural swiftness inherent to elves as well as the god of wind’s buff, Professor Harian skillfully dodged the students and made her way to where Professor Muam was.

“Professor’s opponent is me!”

“Clingy kids aren’t popular, Aris! And besides I prefer men!”

This teacher, she just said something to incriminate someone with weird preferences!

“I like men too!”

I flared up as well, but it was a mistake to say it out loud.

“Oh my my my, the daughter of a marquisate yelled that she likes men at that age! As a teacher I have a duty to prevent inappropriate relationships between students!”

“Professor!”

I desummoned Aegis and gripped my aura-laden spear with both hands.

“Letia-style, Lone Fang(一牙)!”

I threw my spear with all my strength.

Using your spear as a javelin wasn’t recommended very much even within my family.

In a situation where you couldn’t freely use your weapon meant that throwing your spear was a last resort.

“Iiiiiet!”

But the fang of the Letia house, of not just the tip, but the entire spear saturated with mana, the fang of the wolf guaranteed incredible firepower.

“I… cannot looooosseeeee!”

Professor Harian abandoned her sword and held up both hands to gather up the blue aura imbued in the sword, and when the spear was about to hit her, she pushed out the aura she held in her hands.

“Kyaaaaah!”

“Dodge it!”

When the spear imbued with spear ki and the power of the god of wind collided, the resulting explosion blew some of the other students away.

“Kggghhh!”

“H, hang on a sec! Isn’t this going too far?”

“I actually might die?”

The opponent being what she was, I’d put all my strength into that spear throw.

Even if she was the contractor of a god, she would be hard-pressed to block it.

But.

“Muaaaaaaaahhhmmmmm!”

I didn’t have just one enemy.

And in some aspects, an enemy even more troublesome than a god.

The lord of all water.

“Seriously, it’s hard for me as well.”

Even as Professor Muam grumbled, he was defending against the stuco pres’s attacks as he commanded a giant made of water, while he summoned a body of water beside Professor Harian.

“When the power of the god of the wind, and the spirit king of water come together, we are invincible!”

My spear that was piercing through Professor Harian’s wind began to lose momentum as Professor Muam’s water joined in to stop it.

That attack took a lot out of me as well, if that didn’t work then the tables would be cleanly turned.

In that case, what I had to use now was my body’s innate abilities!

“If you are invincible, could you also block the silver devil behind you?”

“Hm, hmm?”

For the record, there was something we learned from Professor Nicerwin in this academy.

That at times, more than physical attacks, a mental attack with words was even more effective!

And those teachings were indeed useful.

To the point that for a second Professor Harian lost control of her wind!

“Arrriiissss!”

With a massive sound of impact, I heard Professor Harian’s screams.

I couldn’t confirm due to the dust cloud raised by the destroyed corridors, but with this, Professor Harian was probably out as well.

According to Professor Nicerwin’s teachings, in cases like this, if anyone said “is it over?” then there was a high probability that the enemy would revive, so watch over the situation a bit further…

“Is it over?”

“Hang on?”

Was what I was going to do, but even before the smoke cleared, one student said those forbidden words.

“There’s… no way that it’s over!”

As Professor Nicerwin said, Professor Harian was a mess, but appeared in front of us still battle-ready.

“Now, it’s my turn is it, Aris?”

“No, it would be our turn.”

As Professor Muam joined her, our final battle with the teachers proceeded to phase two.
