Chapter 145: Favoritism Hurts A Bit (3)

Simply as Iona had stated, the one-on-one duel with Iona didnt finish with only one incidence however continued on daily basis.

And on daily basis, I acquired totally crushed.

No. As I acquired used to Iona and realized numerous issues, the depth of the duels elevated, making the beatings I obtained extra extreme as the times glided by.

However at present could be completely different!

Blast Burn!

An enormous flame of mass exploded upon the command phrase.

Sharp fragments of flame scattered. Every moved quick and on an irregular trajectory, however their vacation spot was the identical.

The flame materialized throughout an indication of elemental mixture magic that Iris had proven earlier than.

A mix of flame and earth magic developed right into a extra violent kind, ready particularly for at present.

Nonetheless, Iona merely smiled brightly within the face of the magic aimed toward her important factors.

Wonderful! Wonderful! This should be a secret of the Sylvan Mana Tower, proper? Final time, you used a wide-area assault, however this time, you ready a spell for private fight! Good job, scholar Yandel!

Would you thoughts getting hit a bit if you already know!

I dont need to! It looks like it might harm!

Iona playfully retorted, waving her hand from left to proper. Following her trajectory, a number of ice spikes have been fashioned.

Was this a consecutive casting of Icicle Spear? Or a number of chants?

Ice Arrow!

No, it was Ice Arrow.

Having the ability to create a number of directly or management their trajectory to some extent after capturing them was a attribute of arrow-type magic.

However why have been these arrows so thick?

Whereas I internally panicked, Ionas Ice Arrow swiftly intercepted and annihilated the fragments of my Blast Burn.

Bang! Growth!

After which, one remaining arrow pierced via the steam and, as a bonus, pierced via my coronary heart as effectively.

Cough

A transparent deadly wound. In fact, because of Blood Shift, there was no precise damage other than a gap in my garments.

Solely the ache clinging like an afterimage jogged my memory that Id been hit in return.

Although Blood Shift absorbed a sure degree of ache together with wounds, I couldnt get used to this sensation of being getting ready to demise.

All of the magic I ready over the previous few days with Iris via the communication crystal will get blocked like this.

Not simply exploding, however I nonetheless vividly remembered struggling so as to add a homing characteristic to the fragments.

At this level, I began to get offended.

Argh! Let me stab you simply as soon as! Please, simply as soon as!

In fact, I couldnt even graze her garments once I was effective, so what would change by charging in with my eyes flipped?

No! No! Irrespective of how offended you’re, a magician shouldnt cost in so foolishly, scholar Yandel! And saying you need to stab Tsk! You shouldnt say such naughty issues to a professor!

This time, I acquired crushed down personally by Iona, who had strengthened herself with help magic.

An occasion that had occurred a number of occasions, one thing that would even be thought of a part of my current every day routine.

However maybe the psychological exhaustion from enduring solely the shocks I might face up to was inevitable.

As quickly as I lay down on the bottom, my eyes started to shut.

As my imaginative and prescient narrowed, I noticed Iona, startled, speeding in direction of me, after which I misplaced consciousness.

After I awakened, I used to be within the infirmary mattress.

It felt a bit much less plush than the intensive care unit I used to be admitted to after defeating Edmerek.

As I absentmindedly thought this, a grumpy-looking middle-aged priest approached from afar.

He should be the priest accountable for this infirmary.

Have you ever woke up?

Ah, sure. I

Dont fear. Theres nothing incorrect along with your physique. Professor Iona is unnecessarily thorough in these issues.

Ah, however Iris, is that padding?

-Is it that apparent?

Sure.

Iriss chest might solely be seen to be plump when utterly uncovered or touched.

It wasnt one thing you can inform simply by taking a look at her sporting free garments, like now.

-I used to be too grasping Subsequent time, Ailing should go for a extra average dimension.

Iris, wanting barely dissatisfied, took one thing spherical and jelly-like from her chest and tossed it away.

Now, she was again to her ordinary self.

So, theres no simple technique, then?

-Not less than, from what I can see, thats the case. If I needed to say, creating a brand new elemental mixture magic and mixing it with the basic resonance youve lately succeeded in could be

So, the rationale Im getting crushed by Professor Iona isnt a matter of energy, so rising energy wont actually make a distinction, proper?

-Precisely. However Im shocked. I knew Professor Iona was nice, however shes a top-tier magician like me, in spite of everything. Truthfully, I wouldnt be assured sufficient to not get hit in any respect if I restricted my energy that a lot.

Effectively thats why she teaches the magic fight topic as a result of she fights so effectively.

It was not solely as a result of Iona had at all times been good at preventing, but in addition as a result of the vampire race itself was robust.

Iris may not remember, but when we have been to match the fight talents of Iris and Iona, Iona would doubtless be far superior.

In fact, sometime Ailing turn out to be stronger than Iona however how do I wait till then?

If there was no different approach, then I assume I simply needed to work very laborious.

As I sighed deeply in disappointment, Elisha, maybe feeling sorry for me, stroked my neck whereas making an attempt to look into the communication crystal.

Dont get too down. Anyway, you simply must land a success on Professor Iona, proper?

Yeah. Its so unfair to only preserve getting hit.

Then, though it could be a bit underhanded, how about searching for a weak point?

A weak point?

Did Iona actually have a weak point?

Wait a minute.

Occupied with it, I noticed I surprisingly didnt know a lot about Iona.

That was as a result of Iona was a personality who couldnt be romanced in H&A.

Since I couldnt add Iona as a companion, Id by no means seen her standing window, and there was no occasion the place I straight dueled her 1-on-1, so I didnt actually know the way she fights.

If something, there was solely a short second the place she fought within the latter a part of a full-frontal battle, nevertheless it was so transient that it was laborious to completely grasp.

You couldnt know every part a few magician simply by seeing one spell.

Figuring out your opponent is the very basis of successful.

Had I been neglecting even that, simply moping round?

First, I want to search out out what Iona likes, dislikes, and any small habits she may need.

Elisha, youre a genius!

Eh? Me? Ahem. I’m certainly! Please reward me extra!

Elisha is fairly! Your thighs are much more scandalous than Carlas!

What about different elements?!

Your lengthy ears are cute!

Good! Ohohohoho!!

Elisha didnt fairly perceive, however she loved the reward as she fanned herself with a hand fan.

The sight of her blue bun hair bobbing was extremely reassuring.

Was this what it felt prefer to have a reliable subordinate by your facet?

I silently deliberate to stalk No, observe Iona, with a content material smile on my face.

This was my probability to search out out issues not talked about within the setting ebook.

I felt my fan coronary heart for H&A reviving after numerous experiences.
