◈ Episode 93 Magic Duel (1)
“Keugh! Let go of this!”
Ivan Luke glared at the intense pressure on his wrist and tried to shake off his arm.
‘What, what kind of power!’
The hand doesn’t even budge.
That’s how strong Ludger’s grip was beyond his imagination.
Ivan, who had thought that wizards were just a group of people who locked themselves in their closets and read books, felt no small shock.
“Hey, won’t you let this go? You don’t know who I am?! You want to give up your teaching job right now?!”
“If you can.”
Ludger’s face, looking down, was slightly shaded.
“Let’s try.”
“this person… … !”
“Just go there.”
It was Ivan’s aide who intervened between Rudger and Ivan.
Rudger stared at him, then glanced around.
Before he knew it, the bodyguards to protect Ivan were standing around him as if surrounded.
The aide stared at Rudger with a sunken gaze.
“Just go there and let go of that hand. Otherwise… … .”
“Otherwise, what are you going to do?”
Rudger asked in a dull voice.
The moment you try to say that your aide will regret it. Ruud almost closed his eyes and shut his mouth.
The voice didn’t come out right.
He gulped and felt the cold sweat running down his forehead.
‘this person. It’s not normal.’
Going into a fight, I thought this side would win.
I know that he has the ability because he is the teacher of Ceorn, but this is a professional wizard hired directly by the Luke company.
Although he is now bowing his head to a kid much younger than himself and constantly swearing at him, his skills are more than enough to give strength to his shoulders even in front of Sae-Won’s teacher.
but.
‘These eyes. this spirit. Even though we are simply facing each other, it feels like our bones will freeze. Is this really a new teacher?’
The aide changed his mind when he saw Ivan struggling to step back.
I couldn’t back down from here.
Even if Ivan Luke’s personality is a recognizable bitch, he is the president’s only blood relative.
Even though Ivan didn’t have the ability to be a descendant of his blood, and the President also didn’t put much affection on Ivan.
Still, he was treated as a blood relative.
It was for that reason that he was an aide.
Even three members of the security team were composed of graduates of the Knights Academy.
‘okay. There’s no way this side loses anyway.’
However, the only catch is that the location is not good.
If there was a dispute in a dark street corner where no one was present, it could be handled quietly, but isn’t this a light-filled banquet hall?
All kinds of distinguished guests were watching this situation with interest.
There are too many eyes to see.
‘Even though it is said that the boy’s personality has already spread as much as it spreads in the social world. However, if we try to quell it here with force, the image of the head office will be dealt a major blow.’
It hurts my pride and irritates me, but in the current situation, I had to solve it as best I could.
The aide finished bouncing abacus eggs in his head.
He coughed and opened his mouth.
“You just end here. It’s such a good position, so won’t it hurt others if we fight like this?”
“… … .”
When the aide went out as smoothly as possible, Rudger let go of Ivan’s hand.
Ivan, who had barely been freed, grabbed his throbbing wrist and chewed his lips.
“This, this damned fallen noble… … !”
“young master. Just do it here. There are a lot of eyes watching now.”
The aide intended to end the situation as best he could before this immature Ivan did anything.
So, the moment you try to tell him well and step back from the seat for now.
Damn!
Ivan hit the aide’s cheek as hard as he could.
“Hey, you bastard. I told you to call me Director.”
“… … sorry. Director.”
“And, what? Can’t you see my arm? Even if you’ve been through this now, you’re telling me to step back? hey. Do you want to be cut?”
“… … no.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere began to flow strangely.
The aide sighed inwardly as he looked at Ivan, whose eyes were bloodshot red.
It seemed that the situation that could be passed through conversation had already passed.
“Do you, do I have to just move on after being beaten up in front of people like this? uh? Please answer me.”
“no.”
“Isn’t it? yes?”
Ivan glanced back at Ludger.
His eyes were burning with endless hostility.
“hey. you’re done You make sure I get cut on the spot. know? I will keep my word.”

Ivan Luke.
He is a director of the Luke family, and he is reckless in setting things up as he pleases under the protection of the chairman, but the weight of his power was by no means light.
It was nothing to sack a new teacher if the Luke Company, which provides huge amounts of money to Ceorn every year, decided and put pressure on it.
Rudger, who had been watching the scene from beginning to end, wondered what this was all about.
Normally, I would have quietly slipped out of my seat and started searching for the First Order.
That’s what made me hit the candle from the start because of this stupid one.
‘There are a lot of eyes around me, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is trying to stop them.’
Rudger was about to think about how to do this.
A familiar sign stepped into the center of this incident.
“what. Do you think something interesting is going on?”
“… … President?”
Elisa Willow, the chancellor of Ceorn and a genius sorceress.
Dressed in a black dress with a lot of frills, she naturally appeared at this breathtaking scene with an innocent smile on her face.
Are you here to help?
When Ludger had high hopes, Ivan Luke was still annoyed, but when a new intruder appeared, he glared at Elisa with a vengeance.
“What are you again?”
“Me? I am the president of Ceorn?”
“what?”
With a slightly puzzled look, Ivan ran through Elisa’s hair, starting with her toes.
I’d heard of Ceorn’s president, but this was the first time I’d actually seen it, so I didn’t recognize it right away.
A young woman like this is the president?
Ivan thought it was better.
“Good. rector there. Now, how did Seorn teach the teachers?”
“Education? What education?”
“Now that fallen noble has been violent against me!”
People who watched the whole situation would not have called it violence, but Ivan had no doubt that he was the victim.
Elisa asked Ivan with a smile on her face.
“So?”
“Is that so? Fire that bastard right now. If you want to continue to be sponsored by Luke, you’d better do so.”
“Luke? iced coffee. You were the son of President Luke.”
As if Elisa understood, she clapped her hands together and nodded.
Ivan said with a smile on his lips that he finally had someone he could talk to.
However, his face collapsed at Elisha’s words immediately afterward.
“So?”
“yes? Didn’t you hear me now? So our Luke company… … .”
“The owner of Luke Company is Chairman Thedor, right? But why do the directors come forward and make decisions on their own?”
“Oh, you just moved? Hey. Although I am a board member, I am the only son of President Thedor. all right? I am fully empowered.”
“Oh yeah? So, have you fully discussed all of this with your father?”
“… … .”
The words left Ivan speechless.
There was no way he would have had a conversation like this with his father.
It was a word I shouted emotionally on the spot because my head was heated right away.
But what was it about? But if you forcefully insist on it, there’s no way to find out.
“Ah, anyway, my father thinks the same. After all, I’m your son, don’t you know that?”
“oh. is it so? thank god.”
“What do you mean you’re happy?”
“Because the president came here just in time!”
“… … what?”
Ivan’s face turned dumb.
The president said he was here? No, it can’t be.
“A lie that doesn’t work… … .”
“Wouldn’t it be better if you see for yourself whether I lied or not?”
Saying that, Elisa stepped aside slightly.
It was only then that Ivan was able to spot a person spreading a strong presence beyond the crowd hidden by Elisa.
A white-haired old man who was so well-groomed that he couldn’t be called an old man.
He was staring hard at him as he stood on his cane.
“Huh!”
Ivan’s complexion was pale, and he was white like a sheet of paper.
He goes on a rampage without knowing the fear of the world, but his father is the only one who can’t keep his spirits up.
“Oh, father?”
“You useless bastard. I told you to go and make friends, did you make an accident on your own?”
“That’s not it… … .”
“noisy. Stop making excuses. It was a disaster that I entrusted this job to an idiot like you.”
Chairman Thedor Luke glared at Ivan with blood vessels on his head, then bowed his head toward Elisha.
“Sorry. President Elisa. Because my stupid son did this on his own.”
“no. I’m fine. Rather, there are not many people who stand out like that to me these days, so it felt a little fresh.”
“… … Thank you for saying that.”
Theor’s gaze eventually turned to Ludger.
His gaze was quite disapproving of the situation.
Even if Ivan made a mistake first, there was no way he could take a good look at a man who almost got into a fight with his son.
It was then that Elisha suddenly intervened.
“Oh. Still, I think I was a bit harsh with the president’s son.”
“President Elisa? now that… … .”
“So I want to give you a chance. Now, the parties are putting an end to the situation neatly.”
“… … .”
Thedor immediately shut up, perhaps reading something from her attitude.
The same goes for Ludger, who was watching the situation.
‘I was relieved to hear that the president stepped forward.’
The eyes of the president subtly looking sideways at this side.
The corners of her mouth twitched as if the situation was amusing and could not bear it.
‘It seems like he’s been a bit capricious.’
She has such a personality that I have come to realize after meeting her several times.
I am grateful for mediating the situation, but the president seemed to want to lead this board in the direction he wanted.
“The two of them cleanly compete in front of everyone. how is it?”
make a match
At those words, the audience who watched the situation shone as if they were interested.
What she said was simple.
It means to win in a duel.
“of course! Ivan doesn’t know magic, and Mr. Ludgar is a wizard, right? In this case, they cannot be equal to each other. So special! I will give Mr. Ivan the opportunity to choose on behalf of the person who will go to the duel.”
Ivan didn’t seem to understand why Elisa was suddenly saying this.
But then, after staring at Rudger, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
“great! This is what I was hoping for!”
Rather, since Elisha told them that they could use people, they seemed to think it was worth trying.
Elisa looked back at Rudger and asked with her mouth.
‘how is it? I could?’
Seeing this, Rudger sighed inwardly.
I was barely trying to calm the situation, but I was raising a new job.
‘But I can’t refuse.’
No matter what anyone says, it was Elisa who quietly put Ivan to sleep.
Besides, the method of dueling wasn’t bad for him either.
If he had forced this situation to end vaguely, Ivan would always hold a grudge against him and go after him behind the scenes.
But if you fight a duel in front of everyone and come to a clean conclusion, then the story is different.
Even the chairman came forward to watch it, so even if he was an idiot, he wouldn’t be able to run amok afterward.
‘no. He’s just self-confident that he’ll win.’
I went to a duel in front of so many eyes, and I won’t retaliate for losing.
If Ivan tries to do something, the president, Thedor, won’t let him go.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Rudger. It’s just because of me.”
“no. it’s okay.”
Rudger shook his head, saying it was okay to Selina, who was sorry and didn’t know what to do.
“Even if I don’t, I felt the need to go to a place like this at least once.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
“There is such a thing.”
Suddenly, the center of the banquet hall was emptied and a large space was created.
The audience who stepped outside stared at Ludger with interest.
Among them, there were also contempt for Ludger and a childish gaze of the enemy.
Especially Chris Bennimore.
“… … In the end, it turns out like this.”
Ivan’s pinch hitter and Ludger’s duel opponent were his aides.
In the first place, his position was an assistant, he was also a highly skilled wizard and had once served in the military.
“You won’t let this happen.”
He pulled out a cane from his waistband and aimed it at Ludger.
Rudger replied with a shrug, and raised the large staff in his hand.
Everyone watched the scene with bated breath.
A duel between a professional wizard hired by Luke Company and a new teacher assigned to Seorn.
It was a special event that cannot be seen anywhere with money.
“Now, both of you, show me a fair fight! Then, begin!”
The observers were President Elisha and President Thedor Luke.
At the same time as Elisa’s cry, Ivan’s aide quickly entered the magic formula.
I was thinking of ending it as quickly as possible.
Because that was the best I could do for a talented junior as a senior on the path of magic.
‘Resent me for your actions that fell out of sight of the young master. I’ll finish it as quickly as possible without wasting time on this side.’
In fact, the way he fought was to put quick magic into a series of hits to immediately subdue the opponent.
The most important thing in a magic duel is the accuracy and speed of completing the spell.
And he was specialized enough to say that his ability protruded this way.
In fact, when he was in the military, he made a considerable contribution to this ability, and after retirement, Luke Company invested a lot of money to hire him because he bought this part highly.
Rapid magic of latecomers.
I’ve been through this kind of duel several times, and I’ve filled all of those innumerable battles in the name of victory.
This place is probably just one of those courses.
I thought so.
‘uh?’
magic.
The moment he unleashes magic, then unleashes magic, and fires like a machine gun.
he saw
Countless magics that far outnumber the magic he manifested.
Swallowing his own magic and rushing towards this direction.
It was like a huge tsunami, swallowing small waves and approaching.
I couldn’t even feel the sense of crisis that I had to react to.
───!!!
What followed was countless intense pains running through the body.
He fell backwards, unable to stay sane.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The surroundings instantly became quiet.
