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

Episode 347 Chapter 61: Special Clan(6)

Special Clan(6)

As Red Summer vanished into flames, Baek Yuseol finally felt a bit of relief. Even though it was only a doppelgänger, it was still one of the Twelve Moons with a thousand years of experience, so protecting and fighting for Hong Biyeon must have been incredibly difficult.

"Phew, are you alright..."

Just as he released the Heavenly Unification and Ultra Focus states, and calmed the Taeryeong Divine Art, he turned around to check the situation. That's when he saw Hong Biyeon's body slowly collapsing to the ground.

[Blink]

In less than 0.5 seconds, Baek Yuseol moved to her side and barely managed to catch her.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Now that he looked closer, he saw that Hong Biyeon was drenched in cold sweat. Her lips had turned pale blue, and her body was burning hot. Considering that a mage-warrior of her level shouldn't be catching a cold, it was clear that her condition was quite serious.

For a mage, having a fever meant something was seriously wrong.

'No way...'

Baek Yuseol carefully sat on the ground, laying Hong Biyeon's back on his knee. He supported her neck, shoulders, and face with his left arm.

Because of this, their faces were naturally close, and despite the urgency of the situation, Baek Yuseol momentarily froze.

Her silver hair was stuck to her cheek, and with tears brimming in her eyes, her pained expression looked so beautiful that it seemed otherworldly.

'Damn it, am I losing my mind?'

Baek Yuseol quickly analyzed her condition.

According to Red Summer, he must have done something to the flame branded in her heart.

'...Is there anything I can do to help her now?'

Thanks to the strategies from countless gamers, there were some hints on how to break Hong Biyeon's curse. However, there was nothing he could do to help her at this moment.

It felt hopeless.

His vision darkened with despair.

To see Hong Biyeon writhing in pain, and yet be unable to do anything...

I must do something... anything...

–Infuse her with cold!

"Ah!"

A booming voice, the rough tone of the Bronze December, echoed in his ears.

"Bronze December?"

–You've become weak while I wasn't looking! Infuse her with cold! You already know how to use my power.

Feeling as though a light had been shone on him, Baek Yuseol hurriedly tried to summon the energy of Bronze December.

However, it didn't work as well as during training. Even though he had been able to freeze the entire lake around the cemetery to threaten Red Summer just moments ago, now all he could do was gather a bit of chill in his palm.

–You're too impatient! Focus, with unwavering resolve!

[The Blessing of Bronze December]

That's right, he had been too hasty.

He calmly focused on the will of Bronze December, a spirit that never gave up no matter what.
