"Don't be in such a hurry. Charles, go and rest, let the other party fight first. Mr. Brown told Charles to rest.

"Yes, sir," he agreed, for he did not want to annoy the older man.

Mr. Brown sent him hell while he was training under him, and he knew he had better be obedient or the next training session might become even more unreasonable.

Bob didn't insist on fighting right away, as their teachers had made it clear that they needed to wait and take turns.

The arena is actually big enough to have multiple battles at once, but Mr. Brown wants to see how his students are doing.

So far, with the exception of students who have never trained their summoned creatures to use magic, he is very happy with Char and Annie's performance, and the girl has modified her creature magic to suit her fighting style, which is actually quite interesting.

On the other hand, he couldn't tell the difference between Char's magic and the skeleton's basic magic, but he could see that the magic cultivation had reached such a high level, and in a monster of their level, the effect was not normal.

"Slime against Unicorn? The slime may win because of its physical resistance and corrosive bodily fluids. Charles analyzes that his two classmates are fighting each other.

The battle didn't last long, but to his surprise, the unicorn won with the help of two magics, enchanted jumping and piercing, and it quickly punched a hole in the slime's body, piercing its core.

"Piercing can ignore defenses and resistance, and it looks like I need to be careful with this magic." He thought that the next opponent should have the exact same magic.

"Char! Let's fight now! Don't think you can run away from me forever! Bob announced.

This made him shake his head, "Who's running away from whom?" Poor you, you are so young, you are already old. He said as he walked towards the now empty arena.

Bob followed him ready to fight, he held a training spear, and Charles held a training sword.

They don't need to summon their minions, as they have already summoned them before the battle.

"Remember, the goal of this fight is to kill your rival creatures and not kill each other, and if I catch you trying to do so, then I will personally send you to hell," Mr. Brown warns them, as he knows they are strange to each other.

Once they gave him their promise, the older ones began to quarrel between them.

The horned wolf and its owner began to lurk in a circle, looking for an opening.

"Looks like this guy isn't that stupid." He thought, but the other party was cautious and didn't rush up directly.

“Bo

E, go and attack them. He ordered the skeleton because he wouldn't be reckless as bait, he would rather let the summoned creature attract their attack while he covered it from the side.

The skeleton raised its sword and charged at the horned wolf, its movements actually smoother than when Char first told it to help with the sword.

Seeing the skeleton charging, the wolf flashed to the side, and hit it from the side, it didn't even use magic, it had already pushed the skeleton back with super physical strength.

Char didn't wait to see, just waited for it to attack, he stood beside the wolf and cut off its hind legs.

He could feel that his cultivation had paid off, his movements in the battle had turned out to be even better, pushing the stone had made his arm strong enough to lift his sword easily, and his body had become stronger.

"Cut!" He thought that his sword had almost touched the dog, but it had dodged the sword, and the wolf's instincts and reflexes had allowed it to barely dodge his attack.

"Is that all you have?" Bob taunts Char as he charges with his spear pointed at him.

Ed hurriedly stepped back and put the spear aside, in his eyes, Bob's marksmanship was really inferior to Aya's martial arts. Even if you are a novice in swordsmanship, you can suppress the gunner.

"Thankfully, I've fought Aya before, so it's good training," he thought, as his final fight taught him more about actual combat.

He parried the spears all the time, but he couldn't counter due to the short distance, and Bob did a great job of keeping his distance.

On the other side, the horned wolf, after dodging another attack, lunged at the skeleton, pushing it to the ground and biting its arm.

It pulled it down with a single movement, but the skeleton didn't flinch, for it didn't feel any pain, and instead attacked the wolf above it with its other hand.

The sword slashed at its hind legs, but the skeleton didn't have enough strength to cut it off with the training sword.

The wolf roared, leaping backwards with its skeletal arm in its mouth, trying to pull away.

"Polo!" Bob worries about the wolf as he continues to attack Cha

。

Seeing the opening, Charles shoved the spear to the ground beside him with his sword, then closed the distance, and was about to slash at his opponent when suddenly Bob's eyes sparkled.

He paused, and fear and fear suddenly appeared in his heart: "No! Don't hesitate, it's magic! He tried to rationalize, but he couldn't do anything because his body couldn't move.

He could only watch as Bob kicked him to the ground, the pain pulling him out of his fear, "Damn, scare magic!"

Charles had recognized Bob as using a rare magical ability of a one-horned wolf, which could stop other people's movements for a matter of seconds because it caused fear.

He was lying on his side when Bob put the tip of the spear against his throat, "Polo, now!" He commanded the wolf.

The wolf roared at the sky, his eyes lit up, and cast a deterrent spell on the skeleton, chasing it as fast as he could, trying to pierce the skeleton, its horns glowing, indicating that the magic had been activated.

Seeing Bob focus on the creature's fight, Charles seized the opportunity and swept his leg to his opponent's feet.

This caught the unprepared man at his side, and Charles got up and kicked his opponent's spear away, pointing his sword at Bob's neck.

At the same time, the wolf is already on the skeleton, which attacks from the front, because its enemies are defenseless because of its intimidation.

Once the connection is pierced, the bone collapses, and it can eat the bone, but surprisingly, at the last moment, it actually moves.

The sword in its hand pointed directly at the wolf's face, and in an instant, it pierced through the wolf's skull.

This kills the wolf, but it doesn't stop its piercing, which shatters the skeleton's body into individual bones scattered across the arena.

"This idiot wants to scare the undead, he's too stupid." Charles shook his head, it is well known that the undead are immune to all types of mental illness.

"That's enough, Char is the winner of this fight," Mr. Brown announced.

Bob was upset, but he couldn't do anything, and he lost because of his carelessness.

On the other hand, Char didn't have time to rejoice, he didn't even provoke his opponent, the final battle was too close, and if it weren't for the opponent making so many mistakes, he would have lost a long time ago.

"The gap between the innate powers of living beings is not so easy to overcome, and my magical abilities are not so useful to it." He lamented that his regeneration and resistance were almost unusable in the final battle.

He almost caused the skeleton to overload the surrounding mana into its body, killing itself with the wolf, but luckily, it didn't need his trump card to win.

"I need offensive magic, regeneration and resistance are useless against enemies who can outrun them," he thought.

The Horned Wolf is a creature with heavy attack power and agility, and with the ability to ignore resistance, it is actually a natural counterattack.

"I'm going to overcome this gap somehow," he said, promising that he would work harder in order to become stronger.

As more and more students fight each other, the sparring continues, Cha

And not as challenged as he thought he would be, because the other students had seen his strength and knew that he was not an easy target to be bullied.

"Char, can you come to my room after that? I have something to tell you," Mr. Brown called him after class.

"It's bad," Cha

sighed.

"Sir, why are you calling me? Am I mistaken? Char asked the old man.

He was afraid that the man would find it strange because of the sudden increase in his abilities, even though he didn't use the skeleton's third ability. The first and second abilities are already different from the initial state.

Char has prepared some elaborate lies to tell the teacher to cover up the truth. He wants to keep all his strengths because he needs every one if he wants to outdo the other.

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm not going to extract information from you, I know you're brilliant and smart. I've heard you train your skeletons repeatedly, and you've made good use of the undead traits to your advantage. The muscular man praised him.

News of the skeletons that kept jumping from the trees had spread throughout the Academy.

"Nothing, sir. I just feel like it's a waste to let it rest when it doesn't need to. I was also amazed when it got such a big improvement from the training. He replied.

"Hahaha, of course it will get better, normal creatures will die of exhaustion if they don't stop using magic, so it will take them a long time to master magic. Unlike them, your skeleton can cast spells repeatedly, and it must have been used a hundred, if not a thousand," the man laughed.

"But that's only because magic is simple, and to train complex magic, it requires more than just repetition, it needs to learn from mistakes and innovate new applications of magic to improve mastery of magic." The man became serious and added.

Cha

Waiting for him to tell him what he wanted, because the man must have another reason to call him than to give him some compliments.

"Have you ever noticed why you can't beat Bob in a duel even if you have better technique?" The man asked.

"Yes, sir. My magical abilities are focused on defense and regeneration, and it doesn't give me enough of an advantage to win a duel," he replied.

"And what do you think you need to do?" The man asked him.

"I need to train my swordsmanship more so that I can defeat him even without magical abilities, or I need to modify one of my spells so that I have the ability to attack," Char told him what he thought

The man nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, you're on the right path." But you can have both. I know someone like you who summoned a skeleton and was able to defeat the man who summoned the ogre with a single sword. "Tricks and simple magic," Mr. Brown told him.

"Why are you telling me this, sir?" Char asked the old man.

"I want to teach you this simple magic. That friend of mine told me that if I find someone worthy, pass it on to someone else. He said seriously.

"What kind of magic is that? Why should your friends go through it? He asked the man.

Remembering the past, the muscular man smiled, "We were young when he died, and when he protected me, he always told me that he wanted to be a teacher so that he could help people like him who were looked down upon because of the summoned creatures, so I believe he wanted me to pass on his dream to you," he said.

"Is he strong, sir?" Char asked, because the most important thing for him was whether magic could help him become stronger, and if it didn't make him stronger, he wouldn't care about the legacy of the dead.

"He is very strong, although he is only knight-level, he can also fight with baron-level creatures, but unfortunately he died young, I believe that if he is still alive, he can surpass the baron level and become the first baronial skeleton summoner in history." The man told him.

"He's so strong? What magic did he use? Charles asked curiously.

"Well, it's not pure attack magic, it's more of a secondary attack magic. Do you know about skeletons' physical resistance magic? He modified it so it's not resistance magic, and I know you might think it's stupid like everyone else. A skeleton without it would be too vulnerable, but in exchange, he replaced the resistance runes with increased runes. This increases the damage he can do.

Charles listened carefully; He did not refute the radical modification, because this person could defeat someone of higher rank, which meant that the magic must work.

"When I asked him why he wanted to change the resistance magic, he just told me that regenerating magic was enough and that what he needed was a way to defeat his opponent, not a way to delay his loss." The man recalled.

Charles listened to him and agreed. He felt the frustration of being a turtle, he couldn't beat his opponent, and his opponent couldn't beat him. He also felt the feeling of playing against weaker opponents, but not being able to win because he didn't have a tiebreaker.

"My swordsmanship is also very important, and if I can't hit my opponent, no matter how strong my attack is, it won't help." He thought as he remembered his battle with Anne.

"So, will you learn this magic? I know you may be skeptical about it, but I'm sure if it were you, you'd use it better than my old friend," Mr. Brown asked.

The teacher had also tried to teach magic to other students before, but it ended in disaster because they were unable to use it to their advantage; They become weaker rather than stronger when they choose to attack rather than defend because they are not skilled enough in combat.

Ed knows the risk of modifying the ability, he will waste valuable ranks, it is useless for him, he needs to restore it to the default resistance, but for him the risk is non-existent, he can use the absorption ability.

"I will! I believe you, Mr. Brown," he agreed to learn magic because it didn't have any drawbacks to him.

After seeing the magic array, Ed understood why Mr. Brown always said that it was a simple ability, and magic was indeed simple; It enhances the physical attack and that's it.

"Can this magic really allow me to fight against the Baron at the same time as a knight?" He wanted to know.

"Probably not, since the original inventor must be a genius in swordsmanship, there must be something outstanding in this magic." He concluded.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Brown. If nothing else, then I'll take my leave. Charles said goodbye before leaving the room.

He plans to learn his extra magical abilities. The unknown rune was so mysterious that he didn't know if he could use it as anything other than collecting mana.

"I can't boast of knowing all the runes, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen this one before, even though I've read a lot of books about runes," he thought.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the library. The library was the only place where he could learn about runes.

All other places were not accessible to people of the lowest class like him, and only those of the elite class had free access to the best learning facilities.

"Just a week ago, I could go to those places to study, now I can only go to the library." Charles sighed.

When he arrived at the library, he suddenly remembered the last time he met Aya, where she studied in the library, not the elite study.

"Hmm...... I wonder why she wants to hide that she works hard and doesn't need to learn the image of a genius is so important to her? When he entered the library, he wondered.

"Now that I think about it, I usually pick up books from other facilities here to read because there are fewer people here, and I don't really know where to find the books I need," he thought.

After searching for books for an hour, he found more than a dozen books on runes, all old books, and there were few new books in the library.

"A tertiary classification of runes? It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, and maybe this book has what I need. He opened his books to look for something new, and even books with better facilities didn't have that kind of information.

"Runes are divided into three categories: primary runes, runes that can be used in the magic arrays of almost all creatures; Advanced runes, runes that can only be used by creatures above the baron; Ancient runes, runes that are so rare that people can't use them. Attempt to monopolize themselves! ”

Char thought that runes belonged to the second category at first, but after reading the book, he thought that it might belong to the third category.
