The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 48: Practical Test (2)

As expected, Serph was getting a bit pathetic.

Hmmm. What should I do with this?

The atmosphere was heavy and awkward, and most of all, it was a mess. 

Ill do my best!

This sense of sadness.

Whether you can see the reality or not, you probably cant, but the fact that Kunon is healthy makes the atmosphere even heavier.

The contrast between Kunons enthusiasm and the people around him who think he doesnt understand the situation is frightening.

What are you talking about?

Seyfi whispers quietly.

That girl, that man. Shes a disciple of that man who rarely praises others, never acknowledges them, and says that there is no one better than him.

Oh, thats right.

Serph himself didnt hate her that much, but Seyfi had been compared to him, clashed with him, and kicked around at every turn because they were both from the same sigil earth.

Not that she wanted to, but Seyfi knew Zeonly Finroles abilities and personality better than Serph did.

It was unbelievable that the man had taken an apprentice, but it was also unbelievable that he had offered it to me as if he were proud of it.

There were not many possibilities, and the first that came to mind was

Hes the mans work, isnt he?

If you think about it, it makes sense.

Zeonly loved to brag about himself, and he was especially proud of his magic tools for a long time.

If thats the case, then bragging about the apprentice he raised is another story

Well, well find out when you try.

Dont let your guard down.

I know. Im a disciple of Zeonly And I dont want to be embarrassed in front of the test takers either.

Serph stepped forward.

Then lets begin the practical exam for Kunon Gurion.

Yes! Thank you very much! Ill do my best! Hey, watch this. Ill do my best. If I do well, will you go somewhere with me?

Okay, okay, lets not pick up girls here.

Kunon came forward, calling out to the saint who turned her face away and ignored him.

Im not sure if I can afford it or not.

Well, I guess there it is.

He must be really smug.

Even though everyone was fed up with the atmosphere of this place. Only one person seems to be completely unconcerned.

The task is to cast a spell on me.

Suddenly, a wind rises around Serph.

Try to break my Windshield Whirlwind.

Windshield Whirlwind.

Its an intermediate wind magic that uses the wind to create a wall around you.

Depending on the magician, Serphs windshield is so strong that it can completely protect against even inferior advanced magic.

The strong wind is also impervious to water.

It is absolutely impossible for someone who can only use two rudimentary water magic, much less attack magic, to breakthrough.

Im not letting my guard down.

Im proud to say that its a difficult task even for a good magician.

But

What? Is that what you want? Really?

Kunon was taken aback.

He had been expecting a more difficult task and had also been looking forward to it.

Huh?

Serph was a little pissed off at Kunons obviously disappointed attitude.

You seem to be unhappy with the assignment, but you should wait until youve done it. Girls dont like sorcerers who just talk.

Oh, thats not good.

Kunon, who seemed to really want to pick up the saint didnt hesitate anymore and unleashed his magic power.

Very thin.

Extend it wider and wider to cover Serph where he deploys his windshield whirlwind.

Well, lets go.

He raised the stick in his right hand slightly and poked the ground with it.

And more than a hundred small water balls are generated all at once around Serph.

This is the basis of the water magic that creates the Water Ball A Ori.

This is an unusual number, but well, it is still perfectly acceptable.

Oh, come on. Youre not gonna get past my windshield with that.

In extreme cases, even rain cannot penetrate.

Water balls, which are larger than raindrops, are even more impermeable.

Multiply.

Kunon poked his stick again, and each water ball split in two, sharing the water volume.

Multiply.

Again.

Multiply.

Again.

Not only Serph but also his assistant and the other candidates were stunned.

The astronomical increase in the number of water balls by multiplication was no longer water balls but a fine mist.

- Color Shock.

The fog took on a red color, making it easier to see.

Then he noticed.

While he was stunned by the increasing number of water balls around him, before he knew it, red water was closing in on his feet.

It is a kind of terrifying landscape that stays at the very edge of Serphs windshield whirlwind It looks as if he has been invaded by bloodline magic that manipulates blood.

The approaching blood pool.

A mist of fresh blood dancing in the air.

And Serph is attacked by it.

There was no way to escape, but

, whats going on? Is this the end?

That was it.

No matter how bizarre the scene, Kunons water has not reached Serph.

Still

What? Its over, isnt it?

Kunon said.

I can keep this up for two days. What about you, Master? With your magic, you wont be able to maintain it for half a day, will you?

There is no time limit. Thats why Ive already finished the assignment.

-That was indeed true.

No matter how unusual its characteristics, no matter how it changes its form, Kunons magic is the rudiments of water ball a ori.

It may look like something else, but it is still a water ball a-ori.

The amount of magic power consumed is a gentle burden for an apprentice using magic for the first time.

It will also be easy to maintain.

Its just that the way its used is so out of the ordinary, its just elementary magic.

In other words, it has become a game of endurance.

If he let up even a little, the fog and the water under his feet would close in. You cant just maintain the front of the screen and reduce the amount of magic power consumed.

If it was a sporadic series of attacks, he could use his magic power to generate and cancel it each time, but in this situation where he was constantly being attacked, he couldnt cancel it.

In the first place Im just holding back here, and I feel like Kunon has the means to push Serph further from here.

I would like to see that, but to want more would be to deviate from the task.

Its a tough one, but this is just an exam assignment.

It is not acceptable to pile up assignments and then impose even more new ones.

Okay. Ive lost.

Its what I call a dead end.

Just because we dont have the results yet, it wont change the outcome.

From this point on, Kunons name became widely known.

He was a pupil of Zeonly Finrole and was able to pass Serphs toughest challenges with ease.

Hey, did you see that? You saw it, right? I want to produce water as fast as your ray. Okay, Ill write up a report with your name on it as a joint work. Can you? No? No? Ill give you two parfaits. No? Okay, three! How about three?

Well, it seems that he is still busy picking up girls.
