-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was just like the arrow Davian had shot earlier.
Kuaaa!
A huge arrow flew towards Bonita with a powerful sonic boom.
In the meantime, Davian had changed direction four times.
But the arrow was still chasing Davian.
Rather, the gap between them was only getting narrower.
'It's not like a guided missile, what is this?'
Davian looked at the giant arrow that completely ignored the laws of nature.
He gave up dodging and running away, stopped in his place, and faced the arrow head-on.
Just before the arrowhead touched Davian's body.
He rotated his body to the side to avoid the tip of the arrowhead.
He cut through the middle of the arrow shaft with his ice sword at the same time.
'Now, it's time to counterattack.'
Steam gathered and began to clump at the end of Davian's left hand.
Crackle!
Kwaang!
The Lightning Bolt that Davian fired hit the giant arrow that was chasing Bonita.
No matter how fast the arrow was.
It couldn't be faster than lightning.
Next is Professor Felix.
Crackle!
A Lightning Bolt was fired at Professor Felix.
At that moment.
Crack! Kwaaaang!
A Lightning Bolt flying from another direction collided with Davian's lightning magic.
It was Professor Camilla.
She reacted as soon as she saw the Lightning Bolt, which was the achievement of her life.
'Damn it. It's not easy.'
She was dealing with Ratiya and Karin at the same time, and still had the leisure to check on this side.
As expected, it was Professor Camilla Lucia.
In the meantime.
Shwaak!
Bonita, who had closed the distance, swung her sword.
Felix hurriedly raised his bow to block Bonita's sword.
But it wasn't the Bonita Fortis of the past.
Bonita's sword, filled with thick aura, cut Professor Felix's bow in half.
Tak!
Bonita put her sword back into its scabbard.
Regardless of whether the opponent was a professor or not.
She had cut the bow of the opponent who used the bow.
Felix swung the bow that had been cut in half to attack Bonita.
Tak.
She lightly blocked Felix's attack with the sword in its scabbard.
Then.
Pow!
She struck Felix's torso with the scabbard.
"Kuhuk!"
Professor Felix frowned, whether he felt pain even though he was under mental magic.
Thwack! Pow!
Bonita began to beat Professor Felix using her sword as a club.
The archer who lost his bow.
He could only be beaten by the swordsman who had recently leveled up tremendously.
'She's going to beat him until he faints.'
Davian turned his head towards Professor Camilla Lucia.
While dealing with Ratiya and Karin, she rolled her eyes to the side to check on Davian.
Davian decided to use a classic method.
The method he used when he was a freshman with insufficient skills to deal with high-level wizards.
Davian drew out a pillar of water and spewed it towards Professor Camilla.
It was an attack that couldn't be ignored just because it was water.
It had the power to bounce her far away if she was hit directly.
The ice barrier had already been set up for Ratiya and Karin.
Professor Camilla waved her left arm and fired powerful fire elemental magic.
As expected, she's a full professor.
She wasn't only specialized in applied magic.
The operation of the four basic elemental magic and the size of her mana were also top-notch.
The fire elemental magic that Camilla fired completely swallowed Davian's pillar of water.
Tssssss.
A huge amount of steam rose as the pillar of water was engulfed in the pillar of fire.
The space between Davian and Camilla instantly became blurry.
Taat.
Davian quickly threw his body into the steam.
Not long after.
Whoosh.
Davian's body popped out through the steam on Camilla's side.
Professor Camilla, who was surprised, tried to react.
But the distance was too close to deal with a 7-star swordsman moving at full power with magic.
"I'm sorry, Professor."
Pow!
Davian struck the back of Camilla Lucia's head with the back of the ice sword handle.
Thud.
Professor Camilla, who had fainted, fell to the floor.
'This side is taken care of.'
Davian turned his head and looked at the side where Felix and Bonita were.
Thwack!
Felix, who had been hit hard in the abdomen, groaned and slumped forward.
Bonita lightly hit the back of Felix's neck to knock him out.
Tring.

[Step-by-step quest: Survive the Lich's wide-area mental magic situation (2/3)]
―Phase 2 complete.
―Reward: 20K Mana Points (x2)
=====
The second phase was over.
Tring.
=====
[Step-by-step quest: Survive the Lich's wide-area mental magic situation (3/3)]
― Phase 3. The Lich is about to awaken. Form a subjugation team to attack the Lich and buy time. You must hold out until the President and department heads outside arrive. No one can stop the awakened Lich.
―Reward: 25K Mana Points (x2)
―Failure: Death
=====
Davian didn't know what would happen if the Lich awakened either.
He couldn't even go to Phase 3 in the 2nd playthrough.
He barely cleared Phase 3 in the 3rd playthrough so the Lich couldn't awaken.
He cleared it, but.
It was a terrible experience.
Enduring the wide-area mental magic spread throughout the huge academy building.
Enduring the mental magic spread by the Lich you face in front of you is a different dimension.
Duty professors and assistants who were hit by mental magic were already crowded around the Lich.
The people who gathered to subjugate the Lich were also being hit by mental magic.
A terrible situation where allies who were fighting enemies right next to you instantly turned into enemies.
Injured and dead were pouring out.
The number of enemies hit by mental magic continued to increase.
They were only hit by mental magic, so you couldn't kill them all indiscriminately.
The chaotic battle where a colleague fighting right next to you might attack you at any moment.
He cleared it, but the result wasn't good.
He lost too much of the academy's main force, including professors and assistants.
"You guys join your classmates now. As I said, clean up the dormitory situation in the order of 1st year, then 3rd year, then 4th year."
Karin, who had approached in the meantime, asked.
"Davian, what about you?"
"I have something to do."
Ratiya, Karin, Bonita.
They were a great force when they were together, but.
You never knew when their eyes would suddenly lose focus if you took them there.
"Something to do?"
"Yeah. This time, something I have to do alone."
He was planning to do things differently this playthrough.
Whether they were allies or enemies, the people gathered there were all the main force of the academy.
The more subjugation teams there were, the more complicated the battle became and the more casualties increased.
The quest ended when the President and department heads arrived while they were despairing that it was over.
But the damage was too great with that method.
"I'm going."
He waved the back of his hand at his friends, pointed in the direction of the 1st year space, and then.
Davian threw himself alone.
The vacant lot in front of the 7th grade dormitory.
Hehehe.
The Lich's eerie laughter echoed through the night sky.
―It won't be long now. The thoughts of those caught in mental magic are being sucked in. The moment I, Britain, become the first awakened Lich on the continent is not far off.
The Lich Britain was floating in the night sky.
Below him were the 7th grade duty professors and assistants.
Bang! Boom!
The dormitory was still chaotic.
Students who escaped from the dormitory were immediately caught in the Lich's mental magic.
Unlike wide-area mental magic, there were no exceptions.
Students who came out of the dormitory and were caught in close-range mental magic came to the Lich below and joined.
The noisy dormitory building became quiet.
Click, tack.
Only the sound of dying embers escaped from the dormitory.
There was no longer the sound of swords clashing or magic exploding.
―It seems to be over already. There must have been a pretty strong guy in the dormitory.
Professor Billian Discipulus on the ground answered.
"It's probably because of Grady Burtley."
―Grady Burtley?
"He is the valedictorian of the 7th grade magic department. There hasn't been a magician among the academy students who could beat him since he was in the 5th grade. He was already scouted by the Royal Magic Department last year."
―Are you saying that he is the top student at Elton Academy right now?
"That was until Davian came along."
―Are you saying that Davian, who is only in the 2nd grade, is one step ahead?
"Grady Burtley of the 7th grade is still far ahead in magic alone."
―Is that so? Interesting. Grady Burtley, come out of the dormitory.
After a while.
Grady Burtley, whose focus was slightly off, walked out of the dormitory.
His silver hair sparkled in the moonlight.
―Silver hair?
Billian replied.
"His original hair color is dark gray, but his hair turns silver when he uses mana."
―His hair color changes when he uses mana? Like the great magician Fabian Hendrix? Then is he a descendant of the great magician?
"That's not the case."
Grady Burtley, who had walked to just below the Lich, looked up at the Lich.
―What is your specialty?
"Fire elemental magic."
―Did you completely subdue the inside of the dormitory?
"I did almost all of it."
―Not bad. I'll put a permanent mental magic on you later and take you as my subordinate.
Grady Burtley, who had already been hit by wide-area mental magic, answered without any resistance.
"Thank you."
Students who had been hit by wide-area mental magic were escaping from the dormitory building one after another.
The number was about twenty.
All the other 7th graders were either dead or seriously injured and lying sprawled inside the dormitory.
―Billian. Thoughts are no longer being sucked in from the 2nd and 1st grade dormitories. What's going on?
"It's as I said. Davian Naone is likely to have calmed the situation down on that side."
―I thought he was just talented. So he was such a cruel guy. Did he kill all his classmates and juniors, even though they were hit by mental magic?
"That's probably not the case. Davian Naone would have found a different way."
Britain was also a magician with a brain that was second to none in the continent before becoming a Lich.
But now that he has become a Lich, his brain doesn't work as well as when he was alive.
That's why he made his disciple, Professor Billian Discipulus, his first subordinate.
―What would you have done?
"I would have knocked them all unconscious one by one, pushed them into the practice room with protection magic on it, and closed the door."
―Would he have done that too?
"You said you don't feel the thoughts being sucked in, so he probably did."
―He made such a decision in this short amount of time. So he was not only skilled, but also had a brilliant mind.
"He's not an ordinary student in many ways."
―The more I know about him, the more I want him. But mental magic doesn't work on him……. When I awaken, I have to either take him as my subordinate or kill him first.
"Killing him as soon as possible is the way to not interfere with your teacher's great work."
―Mental magic won't work on him? Even if I awaken?
"He's a very unique guy. You never know what he'll do. There are many other talented people on the continent, so you should take them as your subordinates and get rid of Davian today."
―If you say so, that must be the case. Then I have to get rid of him today no matter what.
"He'll probably come here. You can deal with him then."
―To solve this situation? A 2nd grader?
"That's the kind of guy he is."
