Imperial Academy Girl Magic Officer

Wolf stretched out his tightly clenched fist with the determination to create a pool of blood with one punch.

Whoosh─!

The attack that split the air with a destructive sound headed towards Yena without delay.

‘I’ll kill you.’

It was a distance impossible to dodge. Wolf raised the corners of his mouth, certain of the outcome of the match.

Those expressionless eyes would soon be filled with tears. What if Yena knelt down and expressed her submission? Just imagining it brought trembling joy.

Wanting to enjoy that happy moment as soon as possible, Wolf swung his fist with even greater speed.

Thud─!

Finally, a dull sound effect was heard.

“Kyaa!”
“Ugh, ugh.”

The cadets tightly closed their eyes, expecting Yena’s miserable appearance. Some even chewed their lips.

“Guhak!”

But what came back to them was a thick male voice that didn’t suit Yena.

“Huh? Huh?”
“What is this……”

The cadets blinked their eyes at the unbelievable sight.

What unfolded before them was neither Yena collapsing and spitting blood, nor Yena falling out of the marble floor, but

“Gu, guaaah!”

Wolf rolling with stone fragments embedded in his face.

“Hey, get up, we should fight enjoyably.”

Yena, who was thought to be weak, looked down at Wolf with a smile in her eyes.

A small, delicate-looking girl had brought down the eldest son of the Streman family. The black-haired girl looked down at a man who should have been twice her size at her feet.

“Wolf.”

The future that was thought to have no surprises, expectations were shattered.

After the first strike succeeded, the sparring ground turned into chaos.

“Uwaaa!”

Proper education? Training to improve each other’s skills? Such lofty ideals had long been forgotten.

Who could say such things after seeing Wolf’s ugly appearance?

“You crazy bitch!”

Wolf swung his fists wildly in an excited state. Screams filled with malice flowed between his lips.

“Pfft.”

I twitched my cheeks while looking at his face.

How ridiculous. Especially seeing the sight of wind whistling through his mouth, I shrugged my shoulders and laughed.

With the previous punch, one of his front teeth rolled on the ground. The sight of a hole in his once white and even teeth was unbearable without laughing.

“You dog!”

He seems to have trouble pronouncing too.

Swish, swish!

I easily dodged his sharp attacks.

No matter how much he swung his arms with all his might, not a single finger touched my soft skin.

Because I had drawn up mana in my body.

Now that I had broken through the mana suppression and could handle mana, no matter how good Wolf’s body was, there was a clear limit since he was fighting with only his body.

“Uwaaa!”

Thud, thud, thud!

Even if he bent his legs and charged like a bull to catch me, I could easily escape, which was the reason.

Even if I’m using the equipment’s loophole, it’s fine as long as I don’t get caught, right?

“Huff, huff……”

Still, it’s tough.

I wiped away the sweat sliding down my cheeks while breathing heavily.

No matter how efficiently I operated, there was a limit to how long I could hold out. Because my mana quantity was so small, my stamina was drying up even though not much time had passed.

“…I’ll kill you.”

In contrast, he didn’t seem tired at all. Rather, he sharpened his gaze venomously and increased the speed of his punches.

“Haa.”

Under Wolf’s onslaught, it gradually became difficult to maintain my balance. Indeed, it was becoming a neck-and-neck situation.

“Hehe……”

But I didn’t lose my smile. This is what I wanted! Isn’t this real training? It was fun and enjoyable!

The joy of competing with fists with the intention to kill each other, both being serious, brought happiness higher than anything else. I didn’t know how much I wanted to feel this feeling.

Even if muscle pain came, even if my nape was damp with sweat, I wanted to continue the battle. I wanted to extend this exhilaration a little longer.

If only my body could hold out.

“Tch.”

Regrettably, I had to end it soon. I wanted to fight for a long time if I could, but above all, the most important thing was victory itself, I had to put a period to the fight.

…This should be enough.

“Whew.”

Starting with a breath I exhaled to calm my mind and body, I relaxed the tension throughout my body. I calmed my excited mind and found composure.

“Die, you bastard!”

Whoosh!

In that state of high concentration, I began to display my skills in earnest, starting by dodging Wolf’s murderous punches.

“Ugh, uwaaa!”

I twisted my upper body to avoid Wolf’s strike.
I tilted my head to let the foot flying towards my nose bridge slide past.

Patter─!

After escaping Wolf’s attacks several times like that, I headed towards his back.

It was a momentary instant. Reaching his blind spot before he could react, like a snake wrapping around its prey, I hugged his chest.

Crack─!

I twisted his arm, breaking the shoulder joint.

“Gu, guaaa!”

Wolf screamed in pain.

Seeing him, who had been so full of arrogance and pride, contort with pain and confusion was satisfying.

“Guhak!”

When I forcefully planted my fist into his face, which was trembling all over, shattering his straight nose bridge, a higher-pitched groan pierced my ears than before.

“Wh-What……”

Wolf clutched his nose and shook his eyes left and right.

His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment. As if saying, ‘Did I really just get punched by her?’

Well, it’s understandable.

Because I used mana to draw out strength twice that of before. He probably never imagined that such power would come from these delicate hands that surpassed his own.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

No trace of nobility could be found anymore. Wolf swung his hands wildly, trying to grab my clothes.

It seemed he wanted to engage in a physical struggle to turn the tide.

But I wasn’t one to fall for such blind gestures. Rather, using this, as soon as I saw an opening in Wolf’s upper body, I dove in and grabbed his shoulder.

Crack─!

I twisted it like before.

“Guurk!”

It must be unbearable pain, but Wolf didn’t fall.

His will is truly remarkable.

I inwardly admired Wolf, who was stained with blood. Does he not want to fall to a commoner even if he dies? His tenacity was worthy of praise.

“Uwaaa──!”

He bit his lip hard enough to draw blood to regain his senses, and continued the sparring with his undamaged opposite arm.

“Th-This looks like it should be stopped.”
“Is, is that really Yena?”

However, as the cadets said, it only looked pitiful.

It’s ugly.

His arm was swollen with broken bones and damaged ligaments, and his shirt was soiled with blood from his mouth and various parts of his torn upper body, as well as the soil on the ground.

Where could you find such an unsightly appearance?

It was no longer reasonable to consider this beneficial training for the cadets. It was a desperate, malice-filled gesture that you would only see on a battlefield.

At this point, it wouldn’t be strange to show mercy, but I had no intention to.

It was quite fun to see Wolf, who had shed his noble shell and was left with only killing intent, like watching a stepped-on earthworm writhe.

Moreover, the sparring had to continue until Gartel’s words were heard, and unless Wolf surrendered, it had to continue until a definite victory was achieved.

Well, I feel a little sorry, but…

“I have to do what needs to be done.”

I rushed towards his chest, aiming for when he swung at the air.

Bang─!

I grabbed his collar and slammed him into the hard ground.

“Ugh, uhhh……”

I straddled Wolf’s stomach as he dazed and couldn’t regain his senses, and started pummeling his face.

With each back and forth of my hand, bruises appeared on his face. The mana-infused fists had murderous power, so from his perspective, it was like dropping a huge iron anvil.

Crack, crunch─!

A bloody battle, hand-to-hand combat where lives were at stake.

As his blood stained my hands, memories of that time came flooding back. I swung my fists, chanting to myself that Wolf was the enemy.

In truth, I didn’t enjoy tormenting a powerless opponent.

However, I became Yena Freud. No, I am Yena Freud. The insults mixed with politicking about being a commoner were hard to endure. I was human too, after all.

In the end, this merciless beating could be seen as the price of indignation.

“Yena, stop! Stop it!”

Patter, smack─!

Finally, Gartel ran over to intervene. In the blink of an eye, he stepped between me and Wolf and issued a stop order.

“That’s enough.”

His eyes said he wouldn’t allow any more.

“Haa, haa. Did I win?”
“Yes.”

Only then did I get up. Having expelled all my strength while striking Wolf, I staggered here and there without strength.

“Guh, guuh……”

Leaving behind Wolf who had fainted with his eyes rolled back, I slowly walked out of the marble-floored sparring ground.

After wiping the blood off my hands clean and retying my hair that had come undone and fallen to my shoulders,

“A-Amazing.”
“Insane……”

I passed through the cadets who parted like the Red Sea.
