The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 27

Outside of town.

The wind blows over the plains, the grass sways.

Both Claude and I were taking a fighting stance as we faced each other.

Milly was standing in between us.

Guys dont fight because of ! Milly was taking that kind of position, she seed to be anxious about us and at the sa ti a little bit excited.

How about this? I will place Safe Protection on both of us, and the first person to land a blow will be the winner

Seifuto purotekushon?(Safe protection)

What is that?

Both Milly and Claude looked confused.

Oi ,oi, Apart from Claude, Milly should at least know about this spell.

Or more like, didnt I use safe protection in the fight against the King of Death?

What a frightening girl.

Safe protection is a magic spell that will reduce the incoming damage by 90 % for the first blow only. I of course have no intention of using powerful magical spell in this duel, but this is more of a precaution for an ergency

I also do not wish to cause any grievous wounds to Zeph-kun, so having a spell like that will be very welco

Claude was smiling broadly at .

He really said it, this fellow. (TL: Claude was talking as if without the magic, he may accidently cause a serious injury to Zeph, Claude is being a little playfully arrogant here ~)

Even so I will go easy on him.

I will only use elentary magical spells.

If I am able to defeat him by rely using elentary magic, Claude will also learn the difference in our abilities that should teach him a lesson, right?

Claude was planning on using a wooden sword and a shield.

Where do you want to start this?

Its fine if Zeph-kun chooses the starting location

What a conceited brat.

Where is all that confidence coming from?

I was about to use scout scope on him, but I decided against it in the end as I was planning on using only elentary magic to defeat him.

If it will be decided in a single blow, than things like level doesnt really give a reliable indication of strength anyways.

Well, I suppose I will make him silent by showing my superiority.

How about we put our backs against each other, and start after we take 10 steps forward?

I understand

We took an approximate distance from each other and turned around.

The appearance of Claude who took his fighting stance with his wooden sword and shield was fairly decent.

He seems pretty acquainted with using the sword.

Im coming.!

Co at any ti

As soon as the words left my mouth, Claude raised his shield and charged towards .

First of all let test him out.

I aid my sights on Claudes legs and I invoked Blue Ball.

He swiftly avoided the Blue Ball by jumping over it, and just like that he swung his wooden sword down towards .

I fall back a little to avoid his strikes, and he tried to swing his sword in pursuit..however.

Uwaaaaaaa!?

The ground where Claude steps on collapses and he was swallowed up by the pitfall.

A little while back, I already set this up with Green Ball so that the ground would cave in.

Although it was difficult to detect if you were far apart, but the hole I made with Green Ball was really full of distinct bumps/holes. Its because he was covering his own field of vision with his own shield that he didnt notice.

What a sha.

In order to land the finishing blow, I peered into the hole Claude dropped into.

-In that Mont.

A flaming ball shot out from within the hole I was peering into.

Is that a Red Ball?

I cant avoid it..?!

(White Wall.tsu!)

Just imdiately before a direct hit, I was able to invoke White Wall, it was a really close call.

I completely absorbed Claudes red ball spell and this ti I thrust only my hands out towards the hole.

It cant be..

Black Ball

Claude lets out a voice of regret, and I dont give him any rcy as I chant my magic in retaliation.

Uwa!

ZuzunnAn impact could be heard from within the hole.

There was a cloud of dust rising from within the hole, it would seem that I landed a direct hit on him.

Ah, that was dangerous..

I didnt expect Claude to be able to invoke magic.

And after falling from such a height, yet he was still able to counter attack from such a position, hes actually pretty good.

I let my guard down.

This ti around I peeked in the hole to confirm that I had landed my direct hit.

.Sneakily.

In the hole Claude was sprawled out in a fashion.

It seems that I may have went too overboard.

Dont tell that when he fell into the hole, Safe Protection invoked, and the attack I just launched may have really been a direct hit

Well I guess it will be fine with a spell like Black Ball, right?

I confird my victory and raised my arm towards Milly.

Zeph has won!

Milly raised a red flag and my victory was declared.

Where was she keeping such a thing I wonder?

When both Milly and I used teleport to descend to the bottom of the hole, Claude was already sitting down cross legged.

His armor seems to be undamaged but his clothes were a little torn.

I suppose I did a bad thing.

Itata (ouch)As expected of Zeph-kun. Being Milly-sans sub-leader is not just in na. For you to be this strong, honestly I am surprised. I invoked that Red Ball with the confidence that it would definitely land, but

Claude is the one that deserves a ntion. I was resolved to only use elentary magic to defeat you, however

As I thought, you were going easy on ? So that it wouldnt happen I tried to provoke you.Please let apologize for such impoliteness earlier. And next ti, I will make sure to force you to beco serious!!

Claude was being both bashful and bitter about his loss as he said the words.

He let out a pretty boy smile.

Hes still not as handso as though.

Claude, arent you full of scratches?! Look take off your armor! I will perform healing for you okay?

No, I think that even If I keep my armor on

Im not that proficient at healing so, unless I see where the wound is I cant do it properly! Hora Move it!

I understand.

Claude removes the armor reluctantly.

Part of the clothes were ripped here and there, and fair white skin sticks out.

The line of the body was slender and round, almost as if he was a girl

Eh?.Ummm, that is.Claude could it be that..you are actually a girl?

Ummm, that isYes

Ehhhhhhh!?

Shes a girl.Surely thats not..

Zowari (crack), a chill ran up through my spine.

The armor and jacket of Claude was taken off, and whilst casting healing on to Claude who was only wearing her shirt, Milly had a complex look on her face.

I didnt expect for Claude to be a woman..

Milly was grumbling as she saw Claudes chest by chance.

The swelling of her chest is obviously larger than Milly.

Whilst looking at this, Millys face beca even more complex.

Im sorry, it was not really my intention to keep silent about it.But for so reason it was really hard to find a good ti to ntion it, that is

It, its fine. Its also part of my mistake that I didnt ask

Milly also seems to be surprised, but it was not as shocked as I was over the revelation.

Woman.

Magician.

Claude

Those three keywords, I have definitely seen it before I was able to make a connection with her face and na.

Just to make sure, I casted Scout Scope unto Claude.

Claude Leonhardt

Level 16

[Red] Magical Value 9 Threshold Value 45

[Blue] Magical Value 5 Threshold Value 39

[Green] Magical Value 0 Threshold Value 40

[Sky] Magical Value 0 Threshold Value 47

[Soul] Magical Value 0 Threshold Value 51

Magic Value 324/324

As expected.

When she was older, her atmosphere was different than it was now, so I didnt realize it but, after confirming her full na I was convinced that I knew her in my past life.

If I looked closely she really resembled that person, I dont think I am mistaken.

When Milly first showed that scroll about Scout Scope, why didnt I start to doubt it back then?

The genius magician who brought the Scout Scope into the Magical Association Society.

That na was not Milly Reyad.

If my mories are correct, the genius magician who brought out the spell Scout Scope into my previous world was precisely Claude Leonhardt.

It was the girl right in front of my eyes, it was her.
