chapter 156
156 – 2nd Semester Final Exam
[Past story]
Kim Ido finally achieved Magic Talent Lv.10 Max.
At the same time, you achieve the achievement and obtain the 13th attribute, Chaos, which is not recorded. However, it is incomplete and can only be used for about 2 seconds, so you have to find a way to use the complete chaos…
Meanwhile, he hears a legend from the dark dragon Lene that if he shows chaos on the day of the solar eclipse in 22 days, a portal will open.
He thought that he had to lose to win. He decided to wait for the right time. Meanwhile, the main character took the final exam of the second semester at Delaon Academy.
As they continued to hunt wizards at breakneck speed, they were greatly embarrassed to find themselves allied with Choi Yu-eun, a female student in the same class who mastered the Fire Dragon’s Flames and ranked first in the entire school, and Song Da-eun, a genius female student who unfortunately never got to shine in the original work but is now ranked third in the entire school and has invented magical science.
***
It wasn’t just Yu-eun. Da-eun was standing there, watching me closely.
“Hey, Idoya. Hello.”
“Yeah. Hello. What’s going on? The two of you are holding hands.”
“Ah… that’s it. Ahaha. It just so happened.”
“Did Yu-eun ask you to do it?”
“No. I said I would do it.”
Da-eun’s personality is so gloomy that she would be extremely reluctant to ask for help from others. Even suggesting an alliance. She’s really grown. I’m proud.
At that time, Eun-woo and Da-eun showed me something. It was none other than Raven. No, it was Raven engulfed in flames.
“Huh, what do you think? My magic and Da-eun’s magic science combined…”
“ray…”
“The so-called Dark Phoenix.”
“oh…”
“Isn’t that name really old-fashioned? Say something.”
Since Yu-eun’s name was so characteristic of her personality, I laughed rather than criticized her. Yu-eun seemed to enjoy my reaction and raised her right hand this time.
“And this flame too.”
She creates flames on her hands. When Da-eun timed it right, darkness surrounded her and she became a black flame.
“Black Flame Dragon.”
“…”
That’s not a wrong answer. Meanwhile, Seonyeong shook her head and answered.
“Be honest with me. That’s why we formed an alliance.”
“Puhaha. No. Not that kind of thing.”
Eun-woo’s once playful face becomes quite serious.
“Sorry. I can’t help but stand in front of you… Let’s get started now.”
“huh.”
Our crew members also looked at me while holding on to the staff tightly.
“How’s the operation going?”
That’s right. I didn’t know I’d be fighting that magical scientist. Should I use the method that Sohee used to win? No, that’s pointless. As expected of a genius magical scientist, he’d already prepared everything.
“As always, I’ll fight with all my might.”
“Yeah! I like it because it’s just like us.”
The first attack is from the opponent, a vine that wraps around them. Using that as a wick, a blazing black flame follows. This is a joint magic that can never be performed unless all three magicians breathe in unison.
But when we breathe, our group also breathes. Of course, it’s not hard for me to turn it off myself, but it seems like everyone has prepared hard, so I decided to match it.
“Harin-ah. Neri! I’ll ask for water magic. And Sohee, ice, and I…”
I guess I’ll have to create synergy with wind magic.
Swoosh!
Harin’s water magic and Sohee’s ice magic spread over my wind.
Kwaaang!
It soon collided with the black flame and disappeared, emitting smoke. It seems that it was not an exaggeration to say that Yu-eun had reached a level higher than the fire of the fire dragon.
This is not the time to sit back and watch the smoke disappear.
[Swift has been activated!]
He ran straight into the smoke and appeared in front of the opposing team through the smoke.
“When the hell did that happen!”
Crunch!
First, I removed all the marks from the remaining crew members except for Seonyeong, Yueun, and Da-eun.
“Ugh…! I’m sorry, Eun-ah.”
“Ah. I wanted to work more as a team with Eunwoo!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be watching you from the side. Seonyeong-ah! It’s time to use your trump card.”
“I was thinking of doing that anyway!”
The trump card? It was the fairy Laphi. She appeared out of nowhere and rushed at me, so I stepped back for a moment.
“I am truly honored to have the opportunity to fight you, wizard.”
“Yeah. I’m honored too, but what you’re wearing seems a little different?”
He’s wearing a cute teddy bear hoodie. I can probably guess who put it on.
“Ah. Yes. Does it suit you well?”
“depending on…”
“Kyuu kyuu~!”
“Thank you for the compliment, Neri. But we are enemies now. This is not the time to be praising so leisurely.”
“Kyuu…”
I thought Neri would be discouraged too. As expected, she wasn’t.
“Kyuu!”
“You’re going to hunt fairies as well as wizards! Where did you learn such scary words?!”
“Good, Neriya. You definitely took the initiative!”
“Kyuuehem.”
The second attack was a combined magic attack by Laphi and Raven.
“Dark Phoenix. Please.”
“Hey, it’s Raven…”
“Dark Phoenix.”
Magical Science I just realized this now, but it seems to have a similar nature to chaos. Could it be that the reason it can deal a great blow to the demon later on is because of that?
Chaos is chaos’ weakness. Isn’t that the only way to stop magical science?
“Sir! This is not the time to blink.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Chaeyoung!!!
[Steel Parrying has been activated!]
After simply deflecting Laphi’s oncoming attack, I looked at Raven. I could maintain the incomplete chaos for about two seconds. That should be enough.
He wrapped his right hand around Raven and touched her.
-Unable to operate. Stop the equipment.
“Huh, huh? Why?! Why is Raven stopping? I prepared it so that it won’t stop under any attribute!”
“Kim, it looks like he did something. Did you see that just now? That thing on his right hand.”
“The class president also couldn’t possibly have seen the Black Flame Dragon…”
“It’s what you showed us at the training ground last time. It was chaos, pork cutlet, or something. How do we prepare for that?”
Eun-eun looked at me with a bright smile as if she had figured out something.
“I don’t think there’s any need to prepare. Just now, using it to that extent was burdensome, unbecoming of a class president. I think I’ll use it briefly to neutralize Dark Phoenix and not use it anymore. Right, class president?”
“Yeah. That’s sharp.”
Once again, Raphie approaches me and gives me strangely distracting looks.
“It was amazing. The magic power just disappeared in an instant.”
“Right? It’s more like parrying than magic. Do you know?”
“Paring! I think I’ve heard it somewhere.”
At that very moment, the tip of Yu-eun’s hair begins to burn. Is she trying to do it? The ultimate magic, Dragon Flare.
“Seonyeong, please pull out the magic wick. And Da-eun, I’ll ask you to put up a darkness shield so you don’t get caught up.”
The target is Sohee and Harin. Let’s take a quick look to see if Sohee’s water ice magic is stronger or if Eun-woo’s top-level magic is stronger.
“Have you learned the highest level magic?”
“Ah, not yet…”
“That’s right. It’s not something that can be learned easily. Okay. Try to stop it. Of course, that won’t be an easy task either.”
The one his father, Choi Do-hyeon, used was a giant meteorite that looked like the sun, but the one Yu-eun used was completely different.
Using the ancestral spirit’s grass as a fuse, a fire spread and a rose appeared at its tip.
“I thought the name was a bit tacky, so I decided to change it from Dragon Flare to Rose Flare.”
The rose flame exploded. Sohee and Harin hurriedly used their magic, but it wasn’t enough to block it. I approached the situation at hand and blocked it with an ice barrier.
“Whew… The class president can easily stop it. But I know one thing for sure. Neither Sohee nor Da-eun have the skills to match me.”
Sohee looked at me with an indignant expression.
“Don’t worry. It seems like Yu-eun isn’t using it perfectly yet. Look at the sign.”
The stability of the Rose Flare still seems to be lacking. It seems to bounce in all directions rather than hitting the target accurately.
Unable to control her fire magic, the mark on her magic was broken. This is how Yu-eun’s group was eliminated.
“Ugh… I miss you.”
“Still, it’s more stable than last time.”
Seonyeong’s voice, which had been speaking calmly, suddenly rose in pitch.
“No! Hey. Your arm, is it broken?! Are you okay?”
“What’s this… Phew. My head hurts. Can I take a break for a bit?”
“Yeah. We broke up anyway.”
Only Da-eun was left. Her face seemed more curious about how Raven was stopped than about the outcome.
Now that I think about it, Da-eun doesn’t know that I’m SS yet.
“I’ll explain it properly later.”
“huh…”
Crunch!
As we removed Da-eun’s mark, surprisingly, the alarm for the end of the final exam survival spread.
Listening closely, I heard that Eun-yi’s group had wiped out most of the other groups, leaving only three groups. Of those three, we eliminated two, so only we were left. It was truly a survival game.
“How fiery was that.”
“Huh huh…”
Eun-i Da-in was leaning on Seon-yeong as if all her strength had left her body. Harin and Neri approached her and began treating her.
“Yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend.”
“Were we enemies today?”
“Huh. Anyway, just listen quietly, Neriya. Let’s get started.”
“Kyuu.”
While Neri’s sweet voice echoed, Sohee’s expression became even darker. Did she think that she didn’t know that the gap between her and Eunwoo, whom she considered her rival, would widen to this extent?

The second semester final exam survival is over. Now, there are no Academy events left except for the graduation ceremony. However, outside of the Academy, there is the final match, and the Demon God will awaken soon.
I was looking up at the night sky alone in my dorm room when I got a notification on my phone and checked it.
[Second semester final exam report card.]
That’s right. The rankings will come out too.
[Kim Ido, ranked 1st in the first year of school.]
“Ugh.”
222nd and 2nd place.
In the end, you end up taking first place.
