Chapter 20: The Battle of Guidance

The top floor of a mage tower. The original owner of this mage tower has given up this place to the two "Black Apostles".

In a quiet room.

"So, what do you think of John? Goth wasn't our companion? Levi touched his chin. In front of his colleagues, he regained his half-elf appearance, and his emerald green eyes shimmered.

"His ability to feel the sea of clouds is zero." Fran said, looking out the window.

"Aside from that, he's a perfect mage embryo at all."

"He's so kind." Fran shook her head.

"Our elder brother is also very 'kind'." There was a hint of sarcasm in Levy's tone.

"That's why we saw the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night', the cursed side of him." Fran said.

"Nope. The teacher is deviant, but he is open to all kinds of people," Levi said, "and no one knows this better than you, 'Butterfly of Hades.'" As far as I know, John? Goth is by no means pedantic, and if he has the same sense of the sea of clouds as us, it is only natural for him to be accepted as a student by the teacher. What exactly do you see, Fran? What is it that makes you conclude that he will not be our fellow traveler? ”

Fran gently fiddled with her black hair.

Half a day——

"Him. And unlike us. We 'Black Apostles' have different beliefs, but we all have a strong belief in the path we have chosen. But Goth is different. He seems gentle and kind, but unnatural as if something important is missing. ”

"Isn't it a lack of spell-casting talent, but a flaw in personality?"

"I don't feel any strong longing in him," Fran said, "and he's too indifferent, too drifting." ”

"Like a calm sea of clouds?" Levi had a playful expression.

"I'm afraid he chose the magic goods business only because his father asked him to do it, and it just so happened that he was good at it," Fran said, "I don't think he's a money-gotter, let alone power or status." If you don't have enough attachment to your own beliefs, the teacher will never accept this kind of person as a disciple. Maybe John? Goth would be happy as an ordinary person, but he could not be a member of the Black Apostle. ”

Lévy was silent for a moment. Fran does have a point. However......

“…… No. ”

Fran glanced at her.

"What you're saying is your personal judgment, 'Butterfly of Hades,'" Lévi said in a low voice, "I thought you'd bring me proof, but all I saw was a gut touch. It is indeed a valuable opinion, but on that basis alone, I am not sure, John? Who exactly is Goth? ”

As a being who transformed himself into a "living lich" at a young age, Lévy doesn't believe in any strange theories based on intuition and belief.

"Then you try to be sure of yourself, 'Pale Moon'?" Fran said coldly.

Lévy didn't answer. He vanished into the ashram out of thin air.

“…… Stupid little trick. Fran frowned slightly.

The mage stood up. Levi must be thinking about his next plan. Whatever he intends to do, it has nothing to do with him.

"Huh?"

There seemed to be some commotion in the jousting arena not far downstairs. Even on a day off, there are too many students gathered there.

"Fighting? Cliff should really take care of his students," Fran's dark eyes shimmered with azure arcane sparks, "wait a minute...... The 'student' in the middle、She's ......"

Through the "Eagle Pupil Technique", Fran can see everything below. As the strongest illusionist in the "Black Apostle", the girl's "face-changing mask" naturally can't hide her gaze.

"'The World of Light'?" Fran looked a little surprised, "You're actually talking to these ordinary students?" Wrong...... Is this style of play a guided battle? ”

Most of the Black Apostles are also extremely good at melee combat. Fran's greatest strength is illusion, but her melee combat ability surpasses that of most of the students at Solidar Academy. The bystander is clear, she can see it at a glance...... The girl didn't use all her strength.

……

"Quick, go."

"It's too late to see it."

"Who's on the field now?"

"Ryan, don't talk about it. Everyone knows that you are the best, and if Yingjia loses, you will ......"

"Shhhh Look hard! ”

There was a lot of excitement on the martial arts field. Including Hannah, this little girl who appeared out of nowhere has already knocked over seven military students in a row, and is now fighting for the eighth. The instructors of the military department only symbolically stopped, and chose to stay on the sidelines with the students to watch the battle. Dimi also stayed aside.

And the one who is manipulating the girl's body - naturally the princess of the Empire, Katerina? Glexia is gone. In terms of martial arts experience, she is much more than a girl. Lin Na's own body is gifted in strength, but it is slightly lacking in flexibility, and she chooses a one-handed sword that emphasizes skill as a weapon, and also has the consideration of making up for her innate shortcomings through acquired training. And the girl's body has a "perfect body", which is stronger than in the past for Linna!

Lin Na, who uses the body of a girl, stands at the pinnacle of ordinary warriors even if she does not rely on any secret ritual weapons. And where is it that these ordinary students can reach?

[Linna, it's rare for you to be so kind. Said the girl who was resting in the world of consciousness.

[It's not interesting to run over like this.] Lin Na said, "It should also save a little face for them.

How many ...... can they learn in battle?

[Then it depends on your own creation.] 】

Lin Na deliberately played only a little stronger than her opponent, just like an instructor instructing a student, while launching an offensive against the opponent's weaknesses, while slowly improving her strength. Where do students here usually have the opportunity to meet such opponents? As long as you calm down and feel, you will definitely benefit a lot. Even the girl herself was feeling Linna's movements.

Realizing that it was Linna who was manipulating the girl's body, Dimi laughed. My sister occasionally does something good......

The girl across from the girl was gasping for breath. She was nearly two heads taller than the girl, but she was completely tricked by Linna's skills.

"You should be good at horse fighting," Lin Na began, "hand-to-hand combat is not your forte. At the very least, go get a weapon. ”

The military student who just challenged the girl has a weapon. On both sides of the arena, there are many wooden weapons for training.

"You use a sword, I use a spear," the curly-haired girl growled, "I'm taking advantage of myself." ”

"Attacking long with a short is not necessarily impossible to win." Lin Na said.

The curly-haired girl was stunned. She nodded to her classmates, and immediately someone threw a wooden barrel without the head of the gun, and Lin Na picked up a wooden sword.

"Be careful." The curly-haired girl shouted.
