Chapter 4: The War of the Wealth
update icon Updated at 2026/3/8 17:00:02

Although it is in the battle enchantment, all fatal damages will be forcibly avoided and a healing magic device is added.

But if you suddenly have your throat cut inside, it will be very difficult to save you.

"Oyado~ I said, I'm giving her a chance to fight, otherwise, how can I find her weaknesses and improve?"

"Eh? I'm already only using 70% of my speed."

"Next time, use 40%."

"Understood~"

After saying that, Oyado flipped and fell to the ground, then happily ran to the other side.

"Alright, Milodo Big Sister, let's do it again."

However, when she turned around and looked at Milodo, her face was covered in sweat, completely different from her previous confident expression. Now her eyes were completely empty... Yes, that desperate look. It seems like Oyado went too far this time, scaring her classmates on the first day. Really, this person who was supposed to become a vengeful warrior, how did she chicken out with just a hand on her throat? Even if you want to play the cute contrast, this is too quick.

There's no other choice, being depressed like this is not a solution, I can only stimulate her a little.

"I'm telling you."

I walked up to her side and whispered.

"With this level and this state, who do you expect to take revenge on? You can't even defeat a little demon... Why not just die here?"

"What did you say!"

As she said that, she swung the sword in her hand, slashing towards me. I blocked her with an ice shield, and the sharp blade shaved off a layer of ice on the shield, but because of the slanted position, it didn't directly break through.

At the same time, I slapped her left hand holding the magic book, and the magic book flew out. Taking advantage of the moment she wanted to grab the magic book, a beam of freezing light directly hit the blade of her sword. The sword was immediately frozen into a block of ice. Then, I turned around and shot three arrows at the ice block, shattering it along with the sword inside.

"Alright, Milodo, let's stop here for today."

I looked at her and said calmly.

"You can't unleash your true potential right now. So go back and calm down, figure out the fighting style that suits you best, and then come find me."

"I... understand, thank you."

She nodded and put away her weapon.

"You didn't draw your sword from beginning to end, I really want to see your swordsmanship, maybe next time."

"This really puts me in a difficult position."

I shrugged.

"My swordsmanship is pretty bad."

Milodo smiled noncommittally and left the practice field.

Then I looked at everyone.

"Anyone else have any questions?"

Everyone instinctively took a step back.

"Teacher Lin, please stop joking."

Hed responded.

"We have the strongest in our class...well, now the strongest should be your sister, so you just defeated the former strongest student in our class. Who else in our class can beat you?"

"Oh, right, there's this setting. How about you guys compete with Oyado at 40% state?"

"No... no thanks."

The other person quickly waved their hand.

"By the way, Hed, how long have you been in this class?"

"Huh? Me? I've been in this class since the beginning of the school year."

"Is that so..."

It seems that I have misjudged him. I thought he came to this class specifically for the two Marshalls, but it turns out it was just a coincidence?

What bad luck.

"It seems that you have been in this class for a longer time compared to the others. Can you tell me why our class only has 17 people, and... they seem to have pretty bad personalities."

"Ah, it seems that you haven't heard of our reputation before accepting our class, teacher."

"I haven't heard of your reputation, but I do know that you made the previous two combat class teachers leave."

"You've misunderstood us, it has nothing to do with us."

They said innocently.

"Do you know that the person who defeated the previous two is Miroldo?"

"I see..."

I nodded.

"Well, anyway, our combat class still has a long way to go today, we can't end it like this, right? Since I promised your father to teach and guide you, I naturally need to assess your abilities. Now is the time for you to showcase your strength. Lima, Miss Madol, the two of you will spar. Activate the battle enchantment and let the battle begin."

The two looked at each other, then stood up and silently moved to either side of the battle enchantment.

Lima took out a magic book and a sword, while Madol took out a short crossbow.

Isn't Madol supposed to be an artifact user... well, I'll see soon enough.

I activated the battle enchantment and announced the start of the fight.

But at the beginning, both of them stared at each other, seemingly waiting for the other's move.

My goodness, do you think this is a martial arts drama? A single move to determine victory or defeat?

As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I saw Madol raise his hand and shoot an arrow directly at Lima's chest! However, Lima easily blocked the attack with a gentle parry, then swiftly closed the distance with a quick step.

But suddenly, Madol made a slight movement and tossed three vials towards Lima.

Lima, as if seeing a ghost, quickly braked and flipped to the side. The three vials landed at the same time, and three Ice Flowers bloomed right where they fell.

If the vials had shattered next to Lima, he would have already lost...

So that's how it is, using the powdered magic crystal and the magic activation device with fixed patterns. It is indeed a method to quickly use magic, but...

Compared to a magic book, there are limitations and portability issues...

No, these two wealthy individuals probably have storage rings...

Just as I said that, Madol smiled and held four vials in each hand, looking at Lima. Lima looked at the vials, then flipped through his book.

But as he lowered his head, two red vials flew towards Lima. Lima extended his hand, and the two vials were blown away by a gust of wind and landed on the enchantment, causing it to ignite.

But due to the enchantment's settings, the fire quickly went out. Then I saw two extravagant people going all out... or rather, burning money in a fight.

All sorts of magic vials combined with magic from the magic book, it was like fireworks.

"You... stop!"

I couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Wasting money is a disgraceful act!"
