Three Against One

The three who surrounded Han Dong were all among the top-ranking members of the library's current batch of Knight-Errant.

Firstly.

It was the cross-dressing man named Nelson who had previously damaged the doll with Shadow Implosion in the benchmark test.

Like Han Dong, he is an apprentice who practices Dark Magic and is proficient in Shadow-elemental Spells.

Shadow magic itself possesses extremely strong corrosive properties.

Furthermore, Nelson also incorporated an ' Explosion Element ' into the shadows, maximizing the damage of shadow magic, capable of shattering Magic Shield in a single strike.

The other two apprentices were no ordinary people either.

Kononen Hall.

With a physique equivalent to that of a Crusader, and an aura of dominance rarely seen in mages, he is an extremely rare Melee Mage who specializes in Fire Magic.

Destiny Gear - "Bonefire Ring".

Relying on the ring's ' Mana Condensation ' effect, it can freely condense two blazing Fire Blade.

Such magical weapons are different from ordinary weapons.

The Fire Blade can freely change its length and distance when attacking, and can also spray flames directly from the blade... it can even change its shape.

The last of the three female apprentices was named Sabrina Hill.

Belongs to the Light Mage, but is not a common Supportive Holy Light Cleric... rather, is a very rare Offensive Light Magic.

This also gives the girl a unique charm; her queen-like radiance is quite rare.

Moreover, she had absolutely no interest in the handsome, aloof, and undeniably the strongest and most talented Demps... she even wanted to personally defeat Demps to prove herself.

Han Dong initially appeared with the Vice Curator along with Demps.

They have also rejected the proposal to join forces.

Therefore, these three regarded Han Dong as being in cahoots with Demps and that he had to be dealt with in advance... Moreover, in their eyes, the only one who was difficult to deal with was Demps.

Fire Blade -Kononen launched a direct frontal assault.

The other two were from rather tricky angles on the side.

All three of them were well aware that the Magic Shield provided by this training using the "Magic Robe" was extremely fragile... If any one of them managed to touch the Magic Shield outside Han Dong's body during their simultaneous attacks, the battle would end.

"Forming small factions in private... that's not right of you," Han Dong muttered.

However, with so many magic teachers present, Han Dong couldn't go all out... He had to use magic to fight magic as much as possible.

The Melee Mage, Kononin, was the first to be hit, his Fire Blade growing to a meter in length.

There were even faint signs of Dragon Head emerging at the tip of the Fire Blade.

One strike up and one strike down, a double slash.

at the same time.

Nelson released five Shadow Orbs, each the size of a ping-pong ball, from the side; they would explode if they got close to Han Dong.

As for Sabrina, she found herself in a very tricky position.

He joined his index and middle fingers together, and immediately a large number of light spots appeared from his fingertips, shooting towards Han Dong like bullets...

Three attacks came from different directions.

Moreover, they are all multi-hit attacks that are difficult to dodge.

Han Dong, huddled in the corner, had absolutely no chance to dodge... The fragile Magic Shield could break at any moment.

Moreover, such a combined attack can not only break through the Magic Shield, but also cause great damage to the body. Ordinary mages may be seriously injured or even killed.

Bite!

Boom!

A series of explosions came from the point of impact.

Many teachers watching from above originally intended to intervene to prevent casualties during the Quarterly Exam... However, they were all stopped by Lady Hera.

This was all Lady Hera knew a piece of 'information'.

A while ago.

One night, while chatting with Demps in his 'private residence,' she asked him a question.

Lady Hera, leaning lightly on Demps's shoulder, was completely devoid of her usual solemnity as Vice Curator. Her fingers gently traced Demps's arm as she asked:

"Mr. Martin... it seems there are many talented students in this class."

The grandson of Commander Kaimon, and I've also heard that a daughter adopted by the Great Blacksmith Heidrig is among them.

Is there anything you should pay attention to?

"Both of them are very powerful. Abel seems to have a terrifying beast sealed within him, and Winry's physique is probably unique in the Holy City... However, I can barely handle them both."

"Haha... won't the Knight Selection two years from now become your personal stage? At that time, I, as your direct mentor, will be very proud."

"It's not that simple. Teacher, have you heard about Mr. Black and White taking on a student?"

"Oh? That crow has taken on students?"

"Some time ago... I had a sparring session with this student."

Hera was somewhat surprised, after all, Demps's personality didn't really like sparring with others... Besides, among the students in the library's year, there were basically no ones who could have a real 1V1 sparring match with Demps.

Demps's daily combat training was conducted by Hera, who, as the Vice Curator, directly invited senior students to assist him... and even had some lecturers spar with Demps.

"So what happened? Did that student hurt you? There shouldn't be anyone in this year's class who can beat you, right?"

"I lost," Demps answered calmly.

"... What a joke! How could my Mr. Martin lose? Did you throw the game? Or did that person use some underhanded tricks you've never seen before?"

"No, I really can't beat him... By the way, that student seems to be very interested in magic, so he might come to our library to visit and study sometime."

Hera refused to believe Demps had lost and pressed him on the matter, asking, "You lost? Who was your opponent?"

"I'm not quite sure either... but I was chosen by Mr. Black and White as soon as I entered the school, putting aside my strength."

Their planning, strategy, and attention to detail are no less than mine.

Hera was somewhat displeased. "If this person really wants to come to the [Library], you should bring him here to meet us directly... I want to see what kind of genius he is."

current.

Hera stared at the point of magical explosion and muttered to herself:

"If he was eliminated at this level... the so-called defeat of Demps in a friendly match was obviously just because Demps wasn't in good form that day."

However.

Just as the dust kicked up by the Shadow Explosion settled, everyone in the room was stunned... including all the magic teachers.

"[Rare Species - Sand Type]!? Isn't this guy supposed to be proficient in Dark Magic and a crow?"

In the corner area.

An impenetrable Sand Barrier enveloped Han Dong.

The surface of the barrier even has a ring of dark gold "scarab" markings...

"What's this?"

When the Melee Mage Kononin's Fire Blade struck the surface of the barrier, it only shattered a few grains of sand, causing his own hand to split open.

Before he could react...

A spike made of yellow sand suddenly pierced through the magical shield on his body.
