Chapter 479

At the age of 8, No Name dominated the Seoul Academy.

Now, a year and a half later, she returned to announce to the world how much stronger she had become.

Surrounded by black aurora, Name toyed with the participants with her agile movements.

The first match ended too quickly, leading to a rematch.

Was it because the depletion of Name’s barrier was faster than expected?

The man, calmly recalling the previous match, decided solely to focus on defense, counterplay, and dispelling.

‘If I can just hold out, I can win!’

Then, the black pupils of Name gleamed ominously with black sparks.

Crackle—

The barrier, repeating destruction and recovery, sprinkled white powder into the air.

In a world where black and white harmonized exquisitely, Name’s figure faded away.

The man’s eyes busily followed her movements.

Swish—!

Name, wrapped in black plasma, charged directly at him.

Suddenly, the man’s expression grew serious.

“Which way!”

The white and black mana split apart in the middle, moving to opposite sides.

In a visual illusion where one existence appeared as two, he was able to sense Name’s presence.

Boom—!

Instinctively, he blocked Name’s sidekick.

The 1-ton force tore through the interior of the barrier.

“Ugh.”

The man suppressed the unpleasant feeling that made him feel like vomiting at any moment.

“You’re pretty good, aren’t you?”

Name slowly retracted her leg, which had been extended straight out.

The skirt leggings that had folded up began to drift down her thighs again, drawn by gravity.

She pulled her skirt tight and lowered it.

That was the perfect opportunity for the participant when Name let her guard down.

[Conjuration: Cementatum]

[Casting: Rapid Condensation]

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

He plunged his hand into the magic circle on the ground, causing the liquid to take on the shape of his arm.

Gigantic cement arms and hands sprang forth.

They waved through the space, chasing after Name to grab her.

The man was greedy enough to plunge both arms into the liquid.

Swish—

“Looks like I’ve made a friend with this left hand.”

Bang! Bang bang bang! Boom!

The cement statues were eager to press down on Name as if beating a djembe.

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

“I’ve got you!”

Pushhhhh—

A mass of cement crushed down from above, burying Name within it.

If there was a battle magic with more power than an explosion, it would be pressure from mass.

However, when the man checked the scoreboard, there wasn’t much change in Name’s barrier.

“I’m disappointed by the last bit. Remember, victory isn’t over until it’s over.”

[Casting: Glacius Minerva]

[Casting: Glacius Ion Trap Catellus]

[Casting: Glacius Vortex]

By triple casting ice magic, she easily escaped from the tomb.

Name established an ultra-low temperature field to create a secondary barrier, blocking the sharp cement shards.

Ice chains extending in 16 directions smashed down the solid stone tomb.

With external manifestation supporting the frame and refining flesh with Glacius Vortex, a 2-meter-diameter ice hand emerged.

“Since we’ve met, shall we share a fist bump? Cheers.”

Thud—

The man’s body, struck by overwhelming mass, floated in the air.

His transformed eyebrows showed a multitude of complex emotions.

He rolled and bounced off the ground like a skipping stone, embedding himself in the opposite corner of the training hall.

“You’re colder than you look. You don’t even say hello. Hah!”

Like a scene from a western duel, Name blew cool breath onto her hands, from which residual steam rose.

[No Name’s Current Streak: 7 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 made it to the second half.

While they were all amateurs, No Name truly seemed overwhelming.

How could a person become this strong in such a short time?

No Name wasn’t physically strong to begin with.

With an incurable disease and a weak constitution, is it really possible to defeat adults after just two years of magic training?

[Comments]

– An incurable disease doesn’t mean it’s life-threatening, just that it can’t be easily cured.

└ But Aura Heart is already adult-sized; it can’t be considered bad physically.

– If No Name is like that, then so be it, accept it.

– Only lasted 18 seconds, or did 18 seconds count as lasting? Hahaha.

– If it were me, I’d be out in 3 seconds.

– Middle school representatives are now they’re just gum.

– Isn’t the barrier set too weak? It depletes too quickly.

└ The national exchange event has 6000kE, right? How is that divided exactly?

– Step up, and No Name cannot be stopped.

[No Name’s 5.98-second triple casting ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

(The Glacius series 3-3-3 circle fastest casting.gif)

From the enemies’ perspective, it’s basically a disaster. Hahaha.

To fully counter this, you need to cast three counter techniques within 6 seconds, good luck~~

[Comments]

– No bugs allowed, please!

– The only thing I can cast within 6 seconds is light and friction coefficient adjustment.

– I wonder what it feels like in the world of geniuses…

└ Honestly, even other geniuses probably think alike to us, right? Hahaha.

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

– Seeing this overwhelming talent makes the jealousy vanish; this is it.

└ Just too amazing to look at, naturally.

[Someone organizes the specifications of the national exchange participants neatly; from this, you can clearly see the favorites.][139]

a. Can they use 5th circle magic?

Total 15 people 👉 Nathan, Levi, Cecilia, (…) , Kim Love, No Name.

b. Can they externally manifest Aura?

Total 27 people 👉 Levi, Katsuhata, (…) , No Name.

c. Can they triple cast 3-3-3?

Total 4 people 👉 Nathan, Katsuhata, Cecilia, No Name.

d. Are they a multi-Aura user?

Total 3 people 👉 Katsuhata, Luo’an, No Name.

**Conclusion: The finals will be Katsuhata Emika vs No Name**

Please show your support!

[Comments]

– In the national exchange event, only 4th circle or lower magic can be used; that’s pure nonsense.

└ (Author) Correct. The ability to cast 5th circle magic has no effect on the match. But if you look at the winners from rounds 1 to 27 of the national exchange event, there’s a record that none of them could miss the use of 5th circle magic.

└ Is that for real? That’s kind of fascinating ㄷㄷ

└ Big data is science!

– The fact that multi-Aura users are all concentrated in Korea, China, and Japan is legendary, hahaha.

└ It just shows that the Confucian cultural sphere is advantageous for multi-Aura.

– The title of “genius that appears once in a thousand years” for Emika isn’t for nothing.

└ What about No Name?

└ What can I say? She’s the GOAT of living creatures in the history of Earth.

└ Imagine if No Name were born as a T-Rex in the Cretaceous period. Dinosaurs wouldn’t have gotten extinct, you know?

└ Look at that way of talking, it’s hilarious, hahaha.

[Comments]

– The actions she takes are clearly childish, yet the force…

– Oh god, the teabagging is so annoying.

– The meme factory is churning out infinite content today.

– That third gif seriously gives off pedo vibes, dude…

└ I’m not a pedo; it’s just that I am.

– I love you, No Nameㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– I think No Name should be regulated by international law to broadcast more than a few hours a day for the advancement of humanity.

[When No Name makes a silly face, my heart stops as well-]

“What are you finding so amusing?”

“Whaaa!”

No Name, appearing very bored, peeked into the audience stands.

The participants and bio-sandbags had all run out.

The female fan pointed out by No Name accidentally dropped her phone.

It could be said she was fortunate as it fell behind the post and was out of sight.

While No Name bent down to pick up the phone, the spectators rushed toward her.

Amid the crowded situation, No Name inadvertently caught sight of a gif playing on someone’s phone.

[No Name complaining about the match ending too quickly.gif]

In the fourth match, which ended in just 58 seconds against a high school participant.

The student had surrendered arbitrarily, having enjoyed himself while only No Name had a turn to attack.

The gif repeatedly showed No Name simultaneously stomping both feet in frustration.

No Name grimaced; it seemed like she was still annoyed thinking about that moment.

To circumvent the immediate crisis, the praising skill of empathy was employed by the woman.

“This person was too much! Even when No Name is busy, they come only to fool around!”

“I guess you were too shocked that I eliminated the last participant in just 18 seconds.”

“Well, if you come, you should stay until the end to take on the challenge…”

So, she sneakily applied for a lifetime ban from the broadcasting studio for that friend.

Surrendering is inexcusable, especially if it’s done mockingly.

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

“Oh, I didn’t take them; people posted them. If No Name feels uncomfortable, should I ask them to delete them?”

“No, it’s fine. I should appreciate that everyone enjoys them.”

“…! No Name, you’re really cute, the best!”

“What is this? A ceremony? I wasn’t thinking of doing it as a ceremony.”

Seeing the gif of No Name making a playful gesture, she clarified.

“It looks like a ceremony…”

“Right. Your personality definitely…”

“But afterward, I also made a silly face. I definitely did it on purpose, no doubt.”

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

‘When did my trust in her drop this low?’

No Name shook her head vigorously.

“Don’t you have any thoughts about a ceremony, No Name? I saw Katsuhata doing a cool sword draw and sheathe at the national exchange last year.”

“A ceremony…”

“If you don’t, let’s all create one during this opportunity. It would be bland to just greet and leave…!”

– Yeah, right!

– We’ve got a viewer with great ideas! Hahaha!

– You can feel the dedication to training No Name in her performance.

– The fans really know her well. Hahaha!

– No Name, by her nature, can’t resist a ceremony, right? Hahaha!

– The sparrow can’t just walk past the mill.

“I didn’t have any particular thoughts, but if you all want it…”

– She’s definitely into it. Hahaha!

– How about a walk ceremony after defeating Emika?

– Let’s do a backflip ten times!

– How about a pantomime? The left side seems like it might go up and die, though, hahaha!

“Pantomime? What do you do? Like this?”

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

Since she’s not a master, she didn’t know how to create the effect of distorting the ball.

– This one looks genuinely murderous. Hahaha!

– It’s cute, but also kind of annoying! Hahaha!

– No, no, no, I definitely don’t think that should be done! Hahaha!

– At this rate, she might end up doing the moonwalk!

“Moonwalk? I learned it from my older sisters in Envi; I can do it.”

“Wow! Wow! No Name really dances well! Wow!”

– Please stop! Hahaha!

– They’re too excited! Hahaha!

– Honestly, winning in sword drawing and sheathing is tough.

– Why is she so good? Hahaha!

After a long discussion with the viewers.

They searched for a perfect ceremony that teetered between appropriate provocation and humor while avoiding crossing the line.

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

– ???

– I’m already feeling uneasy.

– Honestly, No Name would shine even without a ceremony.

– What is it?

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

To be precise, when saying psychic, it’s read as fraud.

Anyway, those frauds commonly used deception through levitation.

While this place isn’t as rich in mana as the previous life, it might be possible to reproduce a similar effect through tricks.

[Quick Casting: Demon Lord’s Horn]

A large wing sprouted from her back, increasing the aura’s light transmittance to maximum.

The intense golden aura transformed into a platinum smoke, dancing like a mirage.

I folded the two wings down toward the ground, layered them, and sat cross-legged on top.

It was difficult to manipulate as desired.

After several trials and errors, I could lift my body with the power of the wing framework alone.

“Whoa, whoa…!”

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

I couldn’t open my eyes as I concentrated to the limit.

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

There was space between my butt and the ground.

“Oh, it worked. Success.”

– She’s really doing this! Hahaha!

– That’s so fascinating!

– Who can resist levitation? Hahaha!

– From a distance, it would look like she’s floating alone.

– Hahaha, anyway, this will definitely grab attention!

“Alright, I’ll go with this.”
