637.
Carl’s strategy was extremely simple.
“Guerrilla. “First of all the terrain is perfect.”
Wide forest.
With this alone the geographical advantage that Karl could enjoy was enormous.
“First of all there are many places to run or hide.”
Basically it is terrain with a lot of cover so it is easy to hide and run away.
“And the fact that new students have no information about this island is also an advantage for me.”
All of the islands in Lake Lumeria are used for students’ practical training.
Carl also came to this first island countless times.
As such he was well-versed geographically.
Carl opened the subspace and checked the potions in his arms.
In addition to healing potions it was full of all kinds of attack defense potions made by Carl.
These were items that Carl had improved in his own way after studying Dweno’s alchemy book.
“Should we prepare first?”
Carl was armed so he could use the potion right away.
‘First from the very center of the island.’
Carl walked around diligently and started making traps in suitable places.
‘It takes time for the first years to search all the way here.’
Pak pak-!
Carl dug the ground with a shovel taken from subspace and laid a magic mine in it.
And in another place a trip wire was made using wire.
A very cumbersome task.
However without these preparations Karl could not deal with 500 people.
At first glance it may seem like an unreasonable fight but the Lumern professors definitely gave Karl a gaping hole.
That is this preparation time.

Depending on how effectively you use this preparation time it will be determined whether you will be caught by the first graders for nothing.
Carl who prepared not only potions but also trap magic went to a small cave far away took out a magic potion drank it and wiped his mouth.
“First of all we roughly created a base.”
Carl organized the potions to be used in battle in the cave.
About an hour had already passed.
Even first-year students would search carefully unless they were idiots.
No matter what anyone says Carl is a hero whose name was included in the hero record.
Attacking someone like that believing only in numbers is usually suicidal.
‘It’s fortunate for me. Honestly if you push in without considering everything you’ll be in trouble in many ways!’
“Okay now that we’ve finished preparing.”
Carl left the cave.
“Shall we go meet the first graders?”
A wizard’s abilities are maximized at his or her base.
But Carl had no intention of waiting quietly for the first years to arrive.
‘It was a hastily built base in the first place. ‘If 500 people come at once there is no answer.’
That’s why Carl first thought about exposing himself to first-year students.
Pop! Papabat-!
Carl who was running through the forest at high speed hid behind a tree after a while when he saw the presence of first graders in the distance.
There dozens of first-year students were forming a party and searching the surrounding area.
‘There must be another party not too far away right?’
Thinking like that Carl chanted a magic spell.
“Fireball.”
Magic representing the flame attribute.
It is a very noisy magic with strong destructive power due to its flame attribute.
The sword created a sphere of flame on the palm and launched a fireball into the air.
“There is a magical response all around!”
“Beep-!”
At that moment one of the wizard students shouted and a sharp whistle sounded.
Carl ran away from the spot and chanted a spell.
“Fireball!”
“Aqua Wall.”
Sigh!
The fireball left Carl’s hand and flew towards the first graders.
But before that the sword’s magic was blocked by someone.
Karl clicked his tongue when he saw that.
“There is a guy who is difficult to deal with.”
Vito Inteum from Magic Tower in the eastern part of the continent.
Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B
He comes from a famous magic family in the eastern part of the continent.
‘Did you say that during your time at the Eastern Magic Tower you had a rivalry with Betty the second year student of magic?’
in other words. In terms of magic skills alone he is the top among first-year freshmen.
‘He’s actually the head of the magic department.’
The knight department students chased after Karl.
Kwaang-!
Then we reached the place where the knife was hiding. The fireball that Carl had hidden exploded and he was swept away by the explosion.
“Kwaaak~”
“It’s a trap!”
A scream erupted.
“You should have been careful.”
When Carl laughs.
Water droplets began to form in front of my eyes and turned into a huge ball of water taking on the appearance of a first grader.
It was none other than Vito.
“oh. “Is it unique magic?”
Carl stopped in his tracks and was impressed.
“It is an honor to face off against senior Carl who has achieved the status of a hero.”
Vito bowed exaggeratedly to Carl and then took out his magic wand.
“I hope I can surpass senior Karl’s resourcefulness and strategy.”
Vito’s eyes fell coldly.
Looking at Vito like that Karl clicked his tongue.
‘this. ‘I’ll get it right from the beginning.’
In Karl’s eyes Vito was different from ordinary freshmen.
‘This guy. It looks like they’ve definitely finished investigating me.’
In a battle of pure magic Vito would be ahead.
But that didn’t stop me from letting down my guard.
‘You said you were wary of my resourcefulness and strategy right?’
The sword poured out countless weapons from subspace.
And I used in-chat magic.
It was one of Carl’s specialties.
Sharp weapons aimed at Vito.
Seeing the magic of the sword Vito developed magical powers.
Sigh-!
Hundreds of ropes stretched out and wrapped around the enchanted weapons.
Sigh-! Cheolpuk-!
A huge ax cut the water rope.
Water pours out soaking the floor.
But the number of ropes was endless.
Vito stood in place in admiration and looked at the sword that was casting a spell while dispersing magic power.
‘It really is great magic.’
As if he were confident that Carl was his breadwinner.
The enchantment magic was enough to impress even Vito.
‘No matter how weak the 3rd grader is a 3rd grader is still a 3rd grader. I can’t let down my guard. If you attack too hastily you will suffer.’
With that thought in mind Vito developed a more solid defense strategy.
Looking at Vito like that Karl stuck out his tongue.
‘You’re strengthening your defense even though it’s estimated that you have a good chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with me?’
Aside from being cautious Vito’s judgment was extremely cool.
Anyway time is on Vito’s side.
Soon when the first graders arrive the knife ends just like that.
‘If it were any other first-year student he would have attacked me to show off.’
Carl took out a potion from his pocket.
‘That’s why it’s sometimes easier to deal with a guy who is decisive than a guy who changes his decisions all of a sudden! ‘It’s just like the information!’
Pong-!
Carl opened the potion bottle.
When Vito was wary of Karl’s potion Karl smiled and drank it all down.
Just as Vito investigated the knife.
Carl also investigated Vito.
In fact there was no investigation at all.
During preparations for the Heroes’ Festival last year.
Carl also prepared for the new students’ entrance exams at the same time.
At the same time I naturally incorporated all the information about this year’s freshmen into my head.
And if he were to fight Vito Karl knew right away that he would launch a delayed battle against him.
In fact Vito only showed a defensive appearance against Carl.
Even though the sword uses magic power and uses spells I thought it just used enchantment magic.
It has to be that way.
Because the information about the sword that Vito knows does not include information about high-ranking magic that boasts powerful power.
He decided that his magic would be enough to defend against the sword’s magic.
Gooooooooo!
A tremendous amount of magical power began to pour out of the sword’s body.
Vito was shocked when he saw that.
“no? “This much magical power!”
“It’s true that I can’t use high-level magic with my pure power. But is there a method called doping?”
Carl said shaking the empty bottle gently.
“It’s a potion that refines my magical power. It will temporarily increase your magic power. Well once you use it you can’t use magic for a while. “Although I will have to suffer from muscle pain for another week.”
Carl grinned.
“But even with just one hit I can use powerful magic!”
What Carl was memorizing was the ‘Fire Explosion’ spell.
This is a magic that cannot be activated even if the chant is completed due to a lack of magical power.
But now is the moment when the magic power is amplified.
I was able to complete the magic.
“Fire Explosion!”
A huge explosion of flames struck Vito.
Quagga-ga-ga-gang-! Grumbling!
The surrounding area was blown away and Vito fell to his knees.
However he was not declared incapable of combat.
“Ugh! Not yet… not yet! “If I can’t use magic anymore it’s my victory…”
“I can use magic?”
“yes? “I just said that I can’t use magic…”
“You came to our school during the Festival of Heroes last year and were bullied by second grade kids right?”
Vito’s face hardened slightly as he remembered how he had been beaten up by first-year magic students while trying to trick Chloe.
“Why did you suddenly say that story….”
“Didn’t those guys use physical magic back then?”
Carl ran at full speed towards Vito.
My whole body screamed from the muscle pain but in fact if I couldn’t endure this level of muscle pain I wouldn’t be able to survive in Lumern.
Vito shouted as he saw Carl jumping towards him.
“Why do all the so-called wizards resort to vulgar violence?”
“You stay in Rumern. Even though he’s a wizard he doesn’t even use his body! Physical magic! Magical dropkick!”
Sigh-!
When Chelsea dropped a dropkick which she throws at herself when she was bored to Vito’s face Vito was declared incapable of fighting and was warped away.
“think! “There was an explosion here!”
“Yikes!”
Carl covered up the invisibility cloak he was holding and fell flat on the floor.
“…Amazing. “This kind of magic.”
“Is it a rumor that senior Karl can’t use high-level magic?”
New students passed by with serious expressions on their faces.
As the rear-guard students passed by Carl pulled up his invisibility cloak and stood up.
He then took out a crossbow from his pocket and aimed at a defenseless wizard.
“Uh-huh! “Where are you letting your guard down?”
“Eh?”
Sigh-!
“evil?!”
“You should have watched your back!”
One student in the Department of Magic who was deemed incapable of combat was warped away.
“omg! “There it is!”
“think!”
Pabat-!
The sword ran straight ahead.
A huge student blocked the sword.
He who appeared to be a student of knighthood clenched his fist and swung at Carl.
Wow!
“Gagging?!”
Carl’s body floated into the sky.
Carl who had climbed to the top of the tree gritted his teeth.
‘This hurts so bad!’
The student who sent the knife flying was Granz.
He was a martial arts knight student who fought with his fists.
My grades are second place in the engineering department.
The sword that floated in the sky fell down into the sky according to the law of gravity.
That moment.
He found a student sitting at the top of the tallest tree in the area looking at him through a telescope.
‘Huh? Are you laughing at me?’
That female student was Milia Lola who had won the top position in the knight department beating Gratz the second chief of the knight department who had sent the sword away.
‘Watchout target number 1.’
A student whom Karl had identified as a person of interest as the successor to Lola a large southern merchant was watching Karl with his mouth twisted.
‘Anyway the good ones.’
The knife with its tongue fell to the floor and the impact was reduced using a fall technique.
And then he started running at full speed.
The faces of the freshmen who were looking at the knife nervously suddenly turned blank.
“If you used this much magic there wouldn’t be a need to run away right?”
“Why are you running away?”
The first years looked at each other.
“Isn’t it possible that your magic power has run out?”
Greed appeared in the eyes of the first graders who thought that far.
If he succeeded in taking the key from Karl it was sure to attract attention right away.
The moment I thought that the first graders started chasing Carl like a colt with no reins loose.
and….
Quagga River-!
“It’s a trap!!”
“Kwaaaak!”
I started to be toyed with by Carl.
“Whahahaha! be easy! “It’s easy!”
Carl burst into laughter and started wandering around the forest.
***
“You idiots.”
Milia who was looking at her classmates from high above snorted.
No matter how bad they seemed to be at using magic I found it very pathetic that my classmates would rush at heroes without thinking.
“Anyway.”
Milia looked at the knife through the telescope again.
Milia’s mouth twitched again as she looked at Karl teasing the first graders with a relaxed attitude.
After a while Millia looked up from the telescope and muttered cupping her cheeks.
“Haa… senior Carl… he’s so cool….”
Before I knew it my mouth which had been twisted was wide open.
Millia who had a dazed expression on her face was shocked and covered her mouth.
After taking a deep breath Millia jumped down from the tree and started chasing Carl.
Then Carl stopped at the place where he had defeated Vito.
Then he suddenly fell down on the floor turned his head and started looking for something.
After a while Millia found an empty potion bottle lying on the floor and put it into her bosom.
“Wait I’m going to meet you now.”
Then he started running in the direction where the knife was heading.
