I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 296 Chapter 54: League of Spirits (10)

League Of Spirits (10)

Although Baek Yuseul killed two of Gayurin's teammates early on, she did not lose her composure.

'Foolish ones.'

Despite the fact that Emerald Stella's team members were excellent players, they didn't meet Gayurin's standards. Compared to her, they seemed infinitely inadequate.

(TL: didn't they say in the prev chapter that Gayurin trusted Alia?....🤡🤡)

'They used a slightly unusual strategy, but to fall for such an attack?'

It would be a laughing stock for a long time that they died from a secondary item like a sticky grenade.

'This makes me want to win even more.'

Gayurin continued her lane phase calmly. Her lane was structured such that she had to confront Ma Yuseong in the middle.

'I am different from those fools.'

She wouldn't let her guard down.

Ma Yuseong was known as a genius wizard with excellent one-on-one combat abilities.

In the Rios arena, Gayurin might be more skilled and experienced, but she could not underestimate Ma Yuseong's innate talent.

'I won't engage in a frontal assault alone.'

But.

This game was a team game.

Ma Yuseong had never expected proper backup from his team in any match so far. In other words, his teamwork was entirely lacking.

If she carefully prepared and pressured Ma Yuseong, creating a 1 vs. 2 situation, to gradually break him down, it would be an easy win.

'It's worrying to rely on a fool who was beaten by Baek Yuseul, but...

Given her capabilities, she could definitely win even with such inadequate teammates.

'Play it safe.'

She acknowledged Ma Yuseong's skill in one-on-one battles, but Rios was a team game. Attempting to face everything alone was fundamentally flawed. Using her team's support to efficiently suppress the opponent was how she truly understood the essence of the game.

'This is my chance!'

Ma Yuseong moved to the right, and her teammate was sneaking up from the alley behind him.

If Gayurin attacked from the front, Ma Yuseong would have no choice but to escape to that alley. When he did, her teammate could ambush him, leaving him helpless.

Boom!

Her judgment was swift, and her actions even quicker.

Gayurin, who had been keeping her distance and kept a close watch, suddenly cast a powerful spell, causing Ma Yuseong to retreat quickly. Though he took some damage, the terrain itself was disadvantageous to him.

'As expected!'

Ma Yuseong hurriedly fled to the alley Gayurin had anticipated, where her teammate was waiting, gathering mana for a surprise attack.

'This will end it...!'

In the mere second it took her to halt her continuous spell casting for a casting spell that took only 1 second.

Just 1 second.

But as Gayurin paused her magic for that brief moment, Ma Yuseong cast a spell he had been waiting to use.

'What?'

Ma Yuseong's spell took approximately 0.8 seconds to cast, a power smasher.

A charge that sends a powerful shockwave forward, but difficult to land due to its long casting time.
