Chapter 479



At the age of 8, NoName conquered the Seoul Regional Academy.

Now, a year and a half later, she announced to the world that she had returned stronger than ever.

Wrapped in Black Aurora, Na-me wreaked havoc with her agile movements, overpowering the participants.

The first match ended so quickly that a rematch was held.

Perhaps the speed at which Na-me’s barrier was depleted was unexpectedly fast.

The man, having calmly reviewed the situation, decided to focus solely on defense, counterplay, and dispel.

“If I can just hold on, I can win!”

Just then, Na-me’s dark pupils sparkled ominously amidst black sparks.

Crackle crackle-

The barrier, which oscillated between destruction and restoration, scattered white powder into the air.

In a world where black and white intertwined, Na-me’s figure stealthily vanished.

The man’s eyes darted to keep up with her movements.

Zoom-!

Na-me charged forward, enveloped in black plasma.

Suddenly, the man’s expression grew serious.

“Which way is she coming from!”

The mana of black and white divided in the middle and shifted to opposite sides.

In an illusion where one entity appeared as two, he managed to read Na-me’s presence.

Bam-!

Instinctually, he blocked Na-me’s sky-high kick.

The impact, weighing over a ton, tore through the inside of his barrier.

“Ugh.”

He struggled to resist the overwhelming urge to vomit from the unpleasant sensation.

“You’re quite good, aren’t you?”

Na-me slowly withdrew her perfectly extended leg.

The skirt leggings, which had folded upward, fluttered back down to her thighs as gravity took hold.

She tightened her skirt, bringing it down further.

When Na-me briefly let her guard down, it was the perfect opportunity for the participant.

[Formation: Cammentatum]

[Casting: Rapid Solidification]

A soft, cement-like liquid began to spread around the man.

He inserted his hand into the magic circle on the floor, prompting the liquid to mold into an arm.

A massive cement arm and hand emerged.

It swept through the air, chasing after Na-me to grab her.

The man, feeling greedy, decided to immerse both arms.

Shoosh-

“Looks like I’ve got a friend on my left hand.”

Bang! Bang bang bang! Bam-bang-bang!

The cement statues were desperate to pin Na-me down as if drumming on a djembe.

If they could corner her, the first operation would be a success.

“I’ve got you now!”

Pushhhhh-

A chunk of cement crushed down from above, burying Na-me within it.

If there’s a combat spell that has more power than an explosion, it’s the pressure from mass.

But when the man checked the scoreboard, there was no significant change to Na-me’s barrier.

“Oh, it’s such a pity. Remember, victory isn’t secured until the end.”

[Casting: Glacis Minerva]

[Casting: Glacis Ion Trap Catelus]

[Casting: Glacis Vortex]

With a triple casting of ice magic, she effortlessly escaped from the tomb.

Na-me established an ultra-low-temperature barrier to fend off the sharp cement fragments.

Ice chains stretched out in sixteen directions, shattering the sturdy stone tomb.

Through external manifestation, a 2-meter diameter ice hand, sculpted with Glacis Vortex, bore down.

“Since we’ve met by fate, how about a fist bump? Cheers.”

Whack-

The man’s body was sent flying through the air after being struck by overwhelming mass.

You could see a range of complex emotions in his furrowed brows.

He bounced like a water drop, rolling until he crashed into the opposite corner of the training arena.

“More cold-hearted than I expected. Not even a greeting. Hah!”

Like a scene from a Western duel, Na-me blew a cool breath onto her hands, from which residual steam wafted.

[As of now, NoName’s record stands at 7 consecutive wins][45]

“#1. 1:10

#2. 5:49

#3. 0:18

#4 0:58

#5 12:32

#6 6:45

#7 6:52”

Only one person has made it to the final round.

They’ve all been amateurs, but NoName truly feels overwhelming.

How can someone grow so strong in such a short time?

NoName wasn’t physically impressive from the start, either.

Was it really possible to beat adults after just two years of training in magic battles when she had a chronic illness and a frail constitution?

[Comments]

– Chronic illness doesn’t mean it can’t be treated; it just means it’s critical.

└ But Aura Heart is already adult-sized; it can’t just be seen as physically weak.

– If NoName can do it, so be it.

– She lasted only 18 seconds; does that mean 18 seconds is a lot? LOL

– I would go out and be done in 3 seconds.

– Now junior division picks are a piece of cake.

– Didn’t he set the barrier too weak? It runs out too fast.

└ The National Exchange Tournament is 6000kE, right? Exactly half the time.

– Stacked up NoName can never be stopped.

[NoName’s 5.98 seconds triple casting ㄷㄷㄷ ㄷ]

(Glacis series 3-3-3 circle fastest casting.gif)

For the enemies, it’s like a natural disaster LOL.

To completely counter this, you’d need to prepare three counter-spells in under 6 seconds; good luck~~

[Comments]

– Please don’t use bugs.

– The only thing I could do in 6 seconds is adjust light and friction coefficients.

– What’s it like in a world of geniuses…

└ Frankly, aren’t their thoughts similar to ours? LOL

└ ???: Huh? What do you want to do in 6 seconds?

– Seeing such undeniable talent makes jealousy a nonissue.

└ It’s just so dope that I don’t even know what to say O_o

[Big brother neatly organizes the specs of the National Exchange Tournament participants. You can tell the favorites just by looking at this.][139]

[Conclusion: The final match is Katsuhata Emika vs NoName]>

Please extend your support.

[Comments]

– In the National Exchange Tournament only 4-circle magic can be used; this is nonsense.

└ (Writer) That’s correct. The ability to cast 5-circle magic has no impact on the matches. However, looking at the champions from the 1st to the 27th tournament, every single one had a record of being able to use 5-circle magic.

└ Is that really the case? That’s kind of surprising ㄷㄷ

└ Big data is a science.

– The fact that there are multi-aura users from Korea, China, and Japan is legendary LOL.

└ Traditionally, cultures in the Confucian sphere have an advantage in multi-aura.

– They don’t call Emika a once-in-a-millennium genius for nothing.

└ How about NoName then?

└ What’re you asking? Just a historical GOAT of the Earth.

└ If NoName were born a Tyrannosaurus in the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs wouldn’t even go extinct, for sure.

└ Just look at the way you’re talking; it’s hilarious.

[Comments]

– The antics are that of a brat, yet with force.

– Ugh, that tea-bagging is infuriating.

– Today’s meme factory is at full capacity again.

– That third meme really looks like pedo stuff, bro…

└ I’m not a pedo, but definitely a ….pedophile.

– Na-me, I love youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– I think there should be international laws to limit NoName’s broadcasts to a certain number of hours for the development of humanity.

[⦁⦁⦁ I thought my heart stopped when Na-me was doing a stick-tongue-out…!]

“What are you all laughing at so much?”

“Wahh!”

NoName, who seemed incredibly bored, peeked toward the audience seating.

The participants and biological sandbags were completely out.

A female fan who was pointed at by Na-me accidentally dropped her phone.

It was fortunate it fell face-down, so the post wasn’t visible.

As Na-me bent down to pick up the phone, the audience rushed toward her.

In the midst of the chaos, Na-me inadvertently caught a glimpse of a GIF playing on the phone.

[NoName whining because the match ended too quickly.gif]

The fourth match, which ended in 58 seconds against a high school participant.

The student had enjoyed himself thoroughly, only to surrender arbitrarily when it came time for Na-me’s attack.

The GIF showed her stamping down her feet in frustration repeatedly.

Na-me frowned as if she was still irritated thinking about that moment.

The woman used the “Oh dear, oh dear” empathy skill to escape the immediate crisis.

“That guy was so out of line! Coming to mess around when Na-me is so busy!”

“I guess you were shocked at how I defeated the last participant in 18 seconds.”

“If you’re gonna come, you should stay until the end and challenge…”

That friend ended up getting a permanent ban from the broadcasting station on the sly.

Surrendering is unforgivable, especially in a mocking manner.

“When did you take all these? There are so many GIFs.”

“Oh, I didn’t take them; they were uploaded by others. Should I ask them to delete them if you’re uncomfortable, Na-me?”

“It’s fine. I should be grateful that everyone appreciates it, right?”

“…! Na-me, you’re really cute; the best!”

“What’s this? A ceremony? I wasn’t thinking about a ceremony or anything.”

After watching the GIF where she wiggled her finger, she defended herself.

“It looks like a ceremony…”

“Right. That’s definitely in line with Na-me’s personality…”

“And then there was the stick-tongue-out part. You definitely did that on purpose, a hundred percent.”

The fans, who had been silently listening, clicked their tongues in confusion.

“When did my trust go this low?”

Na-me shook her head vigorously.

“Na-me, don’t you plan any ceremonies? When I saw the National Exchange Tournament last year, I was amazed by how impressive Katsuhata-san’s sword and sheathing were.”

“A ceremony…”

“If you don’t have one, let’s create one together. It feels boring just to say hi and leave…!”

– Wow, well said!

– Gotta love the audience, LOL

– The mastery in conditioning Na-me is evident.

– Understanding her, LOL

– Na-me’s personality can’t possibly stand a ceremony; that’s just impossible.

– A sparrow certainly won’t just pass the mill.

“I didn’t really think much of it, but if everyone wants it…”

– Oh, she definitely enjoys it, LOL

– A stroll victory ceremony after defeating Emika?

– Let’s do ten backflips for good measure.

– How about a pantomime? That side looks like it’s on the brink of death, LOL.

“What’s a pantomime? Like this?”

Assuming there’s an imaginary glass wall in front, she repeatedly held her hands together and pulled them apart.

Not being a master, she didn’t know how to achieve the effect of flattening the ball.

– This really feels like murder, LOL.

– It’s cute but too cringe, LOL.

– No, no, no; I don’t think you should do that, LOL.

– At this rate, she’s going to do the moonwalk, too.

“Moonwalk? I can do that because I learned it from the NV ladies.”

“Wow! Wow! Na-me, you’re a great dancer! Yay!”

– Please stop it, LOL.

– I’m way too excited, LOL.

– Honestly, it’s really hard to beat the sword-drawing and sheathing.

– Why are you so good?! LOL.

A long discussion continued among the viewers.

Wondering how to provoke the opponent appropriately while not crossing the line, merging humor and charisma seamlessly—the perfect ceremony to find.

“Ah! I just thought of a brilliant idea.”

– ???

– Ugh, now I’m uneasy.

– Honestly, even without a ceremony, Na-me would be cool enough.

– What is it?

In her first life without mana, there were many psychics.

To be precise, they could be written off as fraudsters.

Anyway, the most commonly used trick among those fraudsters was levitation.

While this place didn’t have as much mana as in her previous life, she could reproduce something similar through workarounds.

[Simple Casting: Demon King’s Horn]

From her back, massive wings sprouted, maximizing the light transmittance of her aura.

A brilliant golden aura transformed into a platinum mist, swirling like a mirage.

I folded the two wings down toward the ground and sat cross-legged atop them.

It was challenging to control as desired.

After several trial and error attempts, I managed to elevate my body with the power of the wing structure itself.

“Ooo, ooooh…!”

“How about it? Do I look like I’m levitating right now?”

Concentration reached its peak, and I couldn’t open my eyes.

As the fans cheered, I opened my eyes slantily to check the ground.

There was space between my butt and the floor.

“Hey, it worked. Success.”

– She actually did this, LOL.

– Wow, this is amazing!

– Who can resist levitation, LOL?

– From a distance, it would appear as if she’s floating solo.

– LOL, regardless, this will attract some serious attention.

“Alright, I’ll go with this.”
