Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

Chapter 78: It’s just playing with a puppy, at your level.

Chapter 78 Its just playing with a puppy, at your level.

*Please check the short changes in the notice.

Stage 1.

It was barely a wisp. 

These impurities that couldnt even form a regular shape were nothing but warm-up opponents.

Stage 2 and 3.

They were goblins and kobolds, respectively. 

They were not among the strong monsters, so they became a handful of dust by the elemental magic of the three.

Stage 4 will start in 5 minutes.

But the real grading starts now, from stage 4.

Becky will do stage 4 alone.

There was a moment of silence.

?

As if they understood the meaning of the words belatedly, the three heads tilted in the same direction.

Me, me? You want me to do it alone?

Becky pointed to her chin with her index finger. 

Trixie and Louis also showed a strong reaction.

Its reckless.

Flan, the difficulty level goes up a lot from stage 4. I think there should be someone to protect Becky.

It was natural to worry. From stage 4, only specially made monsters for the preliminary showed their appearance.

But I dismissed their reaction with one word.

Its enough.

They didnt know their own achievements yet. 

When they didnt accept it, I added one more word.

I wont take any questions or resistance. Also, if there is any disobedience to the instructions, I will forfeit immediately.

In the end, Trixie and Louis gave up. But the person in question, Becky, still seemed to have a lot to say.

Are you really going alone? Is there any advice or something? Or an explanation

I already did.

In the World of Painting. To my hearts content.

Stage 4 begins.

Ack

In the end, Becky went to the forest alone.

She rubbed her thighs for no reason as she ran. 

She always did that when she was nervous Of course, it was a reason for deduction.

Thud! Thud!

The trees fell one by one, from the far ones to the ones in front of her eyes.

The thing that finally revealed itself was Black Bone, a giant skeleton knight made of black bones.

?

Beckys face turned pale. 

There was no need to read what she was thinking.

Black Bone was literally huge. 

At least three times the size of Becky. 

Soon, a huge shadow covered her.

The creature looked down at Becky quietly.

Hi, hi, hello~?

Becky greeted him without knowing it, and Black Bone swung his spear with a fierce momentum.

I pushed her back with a telekinesis.

Ugh!

She wouldnt be safe if she was stabbed by the huge spear. 

Becky quickly manifested her magic.

Crash!

The heavy spear was barely blocked by the ice wall.

Its dangerous.

Trixie muttered worriedly. Of course, it was a worry for the preliminary, not for Becky.

Ugh!

Becky kept blocking the spears that flew at her one after another.

Fast.

And heavy.

They couldnt be compared to the monsters of the previous stages. 

Thats why stage 4 had a bad reputation.

But.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Beckys ice wall.

No, it was awkward to call it a wall. It was the size of a palm. 

With just a piece of ice, Becky blocked all the spear tips.

?

A question appeared on her face.

The spear was not slow. 

Every time it swung, a sharp shock wave tore the air.

But, in Beckys eyes, she could see all the trajectories.

Its enough.

I muttered softly.

Magic is similar to building a structure. 

The foundation, the pillars The strength of the basics determines what you can build.

I refined their basics in the World of Painting.

In other words, no matter who the opponent is, they can do as much as their basics allow.

Look.

I pointed ahead with my chin.

Trixie and Louiss eyes followed. 

Becky had somehow gotten close to the Black Bone and started to entangle it.

A flawless formula, an untangled circuit, a precise mana mixture. And finally, what you practiced over a thousand times

Beckys ice pierced through the Black Bones body in a flash.

A quick manifestation.

Crack!

Trixie and Louiss eyes widened at the same time.

The Black Bone crumbled into a single bone joint and fell to the ground. Becky looked at her palm with a stunned expression.

She glanced at me once in a while, as if she couldnt believe what she had done.

Thats impossible.

She muttered, but Trixie smiled faintly.

Ill go next.

Her heart as a magician must have started to beat. She too, wanted to confirm her achievement against a formidable enemy.

But too bad. 

The rules change from the fifth stage.

Wait here, all three of you.

I straightened my clothes and got up from my seat.

Now that I had some leisure, it was time to check out the representatives of the Knight Department.

Should I sit on a tree?

I discarded that thought right away. 

Flans soul, engraved with a sense of beauty, would never allow such an act.

So, Flan walked to find the representatives of the Knight Department.

Were they here?

Bang! Crash!

Somewhere in the forest, the four siblings were fighting as one. 

The Black Bones life span didnt seem long.

At that moment.

Whizz!

Numerous threads bound the Black Bone and laid it down.

Ellas unique ability, Silk Sword.

Hey. Did the rat come first? How rude.

A large figure. 

A great sword. 

The youngest of the four siblings, Igor, snorted.

At the same time, the four siblings eyes met Flans. 

Igor kept mumbling.

Did you run away and end up here? Where are the runts?

Theyre resting.

At the infirmary? Oh, but

Igor put all his strength into the hand holding the great sword. 

His muscles swelled up so much that they were visible to the naked eye.

Why are you so short on words?

He shot the great sword like a crossbow. 

With a bang, a large hole was dug where Flan had been standing.

Since the fifth stage had not started yet, the best I could do was to threaten him.

Body enhancement Is that your unique ability?

But my threat did not work at all, and the dust I created with my psychokinesis could not even get close to Flan.

How simple-minded, youve found a suitable master.

He straightened his clothes and lifted his chin.

Dont ask.

His calm attitude made the four siblings frown.

Did you have a hard time with the Black Bone?

A bad thought crossed Ellas mind.

She clenched her sword and opened her mouth.

Are you?

Answer me. I want to gauge your level.

Ella swung her sword hastily at the Black Bone. 

With countless transparent threads, she sliced the black bone joints into tiny cubes.

The fifth stage will start in five minutes.

From the fifth stage, the battle between the representatives is allowed.

At the same time, the announcement came.

In other words, it meant that the four siblings were too late to subjugate him.

Ha?

Ella let out a hollow laugh. 

She had many thoughts in her head, but she was too shocked to say anything.

Flan turned around quietly.

Based on the record Youre pathetic.

He left those words and walked away.

From the fourth stage, the difficulty level increased exponentially.

This was also tailored to the taste of the viewers. 

They wanted to see not only the splendid performance of the representatives, but also their ability to cope with difficulties.

In that sense, the fifth stage could be called cruel.

Two special difficulty monsters, and even a battle with the hostile faction in the meantime. 

There was no other way to describe it.

Louis braced himself.

Lets focus. From the fifth stage, the battle between the representatives is allowed.

Ill do my best!

Becky answered cheerfully. 

She was in high spirits after breaking the Black Bone.

But

Louiss gaze met mine. 

Soon, the other two did the same.

Flan, are you just going to grade us again?

Is that a stupid question?

They wanted to see how we cope with difficulties. 

That applies to me as well.

The fifth stage has started.

As soon as the announcement came, the west side of the forest froze, and the east side burned red.

Awoo!

Two wolves the size of a house howled at the same time. 

They were Fire Wolf and Ice Wolf.

They were beasts that were obsessed with fire and ice. 

In fact, they could be called divine beasts rather than monsters.

What was noteworthy about them was not their size, but their elemental power. 

It was so strong that I could praise them.

We were on the west side, so the magic department had to deal with the Ice Wolf. 

Conversely, the knight department would face the Fire Wolf.

Very good.

This was a great teaching material. 

Coincidentally, the three students I taught also aimed for the purity of the element.

In fact, I was curious about this. 

How long would the freshmen who received the attribute tutoring last against the Ice Wolf?

Lets go.

I pushed the three of them with my psychokinesis.

Ugh? 

How annoying. 

Haha, Flan, Im going. Im going, so

I was interested enough to make three more grading papers.

Purity, intensity, and endurance of the element I added a few more criteria for grading on the spot. 

This was the first time I felt joy since the preliminaries started.

But at the same time, I felt a needle-like killing intent.

I glanced at the right.

The fire was getting closer. 

The Fire Wolf was advancing towards us, and the four siblings seemed to be pushed back

Kwang!

The next moment, I deflected the sword qi that rushed at me with my psychokinesis.

Oh~ You little rat.

Igor grinned as he put his greatsword on his shoulder.

How did you notice? You blocked it again?

I sighed deeply as I expected. The four siblings had deliberately dragged the Fire Wolf here.

I deducted points from Becky even in the midst of the chaos. Her element was ice, just like Ice Wolfs, so her weakness was especially noticeable.

You couldnt catch a single beast and ran all the way here. Are you asking me for help?

I added a remark as I glanced at Louis. He was indeed the most composed one in the field.

Fire Wolf? Oh~

I heard Igor cracking his joints.

That fire puppy Ella can handle him alone!

He shifted his weight forward and dug his feet into the ground.

And then he launched his body like a magic bullet.

?

And shortly after, a question crossed his face. There was no collision at all.

I dodged it. Using Heras power, [ Blink ].

Trixie brushing her hair with her hand in the middle of this

Deduction.

Igor muttered and charged at me again, but I dodged him again.

Louis, I told you not to take care of others too much.

Deduction.

Igor charged, I scored, he charged, I scored How many times did that repeat?

Aaaah!

Igor roared like a beast. Meanwhile, Becky pushed away Ice Wolfs ice. 

The first bonus.

This wont do. You bastard Ill go and crush them all. Just wait here.

His muscles started to harden like armor. His eyes were already half-rolled back.

That wont do.

The scoring must not be interrupted.

And of course, I had a plan to stop this meathead.

Hera.

I drew out Heras mana as much as I could. 

At the same time, I interfered with the circuit of the arena where my feet touched.

It consumed a tremendous amount of magic, but it was worth it.

From the moment I discovered the magical principle embedded in the arena This whole space was nothing but my weapon.

Uryaa!

Igor already hit the ground. But I made a wall shoot up from the ground.

Thud!

He smashed his face into it before he could even notice anything. 

The dirt wall shattered like a glass window.

Ow, spit!

But. If it blocked Igors sight, that was enough.

Whats this interrupting the test. You may have learned swordsmanship, but not manners.

Test? What nonsense spit, spit!

I manipulated the roots buried underground. They flew at Igor like whips, one by one.

!

Surprised, Igor changed his course. But there were too many roots to avoid.

Uryaa!

Igor did his best to cut off the roots with his greatsword, using his left hand when his right hand was caught, and breaking the roots with brute force.

But no matter how hard he tried, he was not tougher than the tree roots.

That was when they trapped him.

Hmm.

His palm tingled with a sharp pain. 

At the same time, the circuit structure of the arena was completely reconfigured.

He received a warning through the circuit, as if to tell him not to touch it.

Are you angry?

This arena must have been designed by the dean of the magic department, Conette.

He wondered what Conettes face would look like when she was angry, and suddenly smiled without realizing it.

He could interfere again if he wanted to, but he was tired of playing with the arena.

Angry are you angry you, you, you

However, Igor seemed to take my muttering as directed at him.

He licked his lips with his eyes rolled back. His muscles turned red, and steam rose from his body.

Whats wrong, Igor? You look a bit strained. Shut up. Before I break all your teeth. Thats just like Igor.

To make matters worse, two more joined Igors side.

Ella was enough to handle Fire Wolf, so the other three seemed to have decided to jump into the melee.

Lets just finish this quickly with a joint attack. Ella is really pissed off.

Cassel said, drawing his sword. At the same time, a strange energy began to pour out of his long sword sheath like water.

It took shape and became the clones of the four siblings, and their number was overwhelming.

One, two, three, four I didnt bother counting after thirty.

They couldnt restrain me anyway. It was similar to an illusion, and I could clearly see what was real.

But.

The problem arose elsewhere.

Uh, uh? What are these! Is this a diversion? Be careful!

Becky, Louis, and Trixie were confused. They were already overwhelmed by Ice Wolf, and now they had to deal with a large number of clones, which was understandable.

I unconsciously grimaced. I felt disgusted.

I didnt mind them messing with me, but interfering with my grading was unacceptable. How much effort did I put into teaching them even in the preliminaries?

You dont look happy. Is this your first time seeing this? Everyone says that.

Cassel smirked. Igor was still sizzling and ripening.

Sigh.

I had to resume the grading quickly. I had a contingency plan.

To be precise, I thought of it when Fire Wolf and Ice Wolf showed up.

I formed a pure fire element on my fingertip.

Snap!

I flicked it to Cassel.

He saw the spark stuck to his clothes and laughed incredulously.

How cute. What is this?

Cassel shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, as if to soothe a child.

You fool.

I said softly. I recited one word at a time.

My grading is not over yet.

It was nothing more than a spark, without enough power to swallow anything, but it guaranteed purity.

Play with the puppy, as befits your level.

And here, in this arena right now.

Kwaaang!

There was one who went crazy with the pure fire.
