The 7th Witch

On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the number...

Chapter 144 The Invisible Gap

Came to the prep school.

Hulim looked at the people in front of him in confusion.

Why did we meet here? We've already graduated.

Well... But it's vacation now, and there's no one in school anyway, so it doesn't matter.

However, Fran still answered Hulim's question.

"That was this guy's suggestion! He wanted to test the gap between him and Hulim no matter what. I'd say he's really overestimating himself!"

Fran raised her hair with her right hand and glanced at Ander beside her with disdain.

"Hey, hey, hey~, please don't throw all the responsibility on me, okay? Don't you want to do the same thing yourself?"

"Huh?! I don't have that, stop talking nonsense!"

"Obviously there is..."

Seeing the two people start to quarrel, Hulim probably understood the reason for the meeting here.

The playground at the prep school is indeed very spacious.

Hmm... But when did the relationship between these two people become better?

"Are you three still going to compete? Teacher Collette and I rarely take the time off to come out here, and we're not here to watch you play house!"

Kunon, who had his arms folded across his chest, said this. Next to him stood Collette, who was watching the show with a smile on her face.

"Ah~?! Are you an idiot? Who would play house with this guy?"

Fran yelled at Kunon very angrily.

"ah?!"

Veins popped up in Kunon's head.

"You silly girl, do you really think that after you graduate, I, the teacher, can no longer control you~?"

Click! Click!

Kunon cracked his knuckles until they made a crisp sound.

"Before you two compete, would you like me, your teacher, to test your current level and see how much progress you have made this year?"

"Uh... No, no need..."

Threatened like this, Fran seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by this devilish instructor during her student days. She retreated in fear and quickly admitted defeat.

"Oh my, oh my~, Teacher Kunon, the kids are just being a little lively, there's no need to get involved yourself~!"

Kunon looked helplessly at Collette beside him. He had long lost the energy to complain about this bad-tempered colleague who always liked to watch the fun.

"Ahem! Since Teacher Collette says you're full of energy, then use that energy for real work!"

After a cough, Kunon said to the three people.

"Since we've been called in as referees, we should seriously demonstrate our true abilities! If you're too unrefined and waste our time, I don't mind giving you some extra training now that you've graduated!"

“Who would waste time?”

"You damn girl, you really want to practice with me, right?"

“… …”

Fran quickly covered her mouth.

After glaring at her, Kunon raised his right hand.

"When you're ready, let's begin!"

The three of them distanced themselves on the playground.

"start--!"

As Kunun lowered his right hand, the relaxed atmosphere between the three of them disappeared.

Fran and Ander, who had been arguing just now, looked at Hulim seriously. Fran was holding her wand, while Ander was holding a sword and wearing a bracelet-shaped magic tool on his right hand.

"Hulim, please don't show mercy. We want to know how far behind you we are and how much effort we need to put in to catch up!"

Ender said seriously.

Opposite him and Fran, Hulim stood seemingly casually, her wand clasped across her chest with her right hand.

In response to Ender's request, Hulim just nodded calmly.

"Yes, sure."

"Okay... then let's get started!"

As soon as these words were shouted, Ander and Fran took action at the same time.

"Wind Blade!"

Fran moved and released magic while keeping the distance between her and Hulim intact.

On the other side, Ander rushed towards Hulim at the fastest speed.

It was obvious that the two of them had a tactical plan and were working in perfect harmony. One was suppressing the opponent from a distance, while the other took advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. If it were someone of similar strength, they would most likely be defeated, but...

Bang!

“Huh?!”

Kunon was stunned for a moment and stood there in a daze. The same thing happened to Collette beside him. Her smiling expression was a little stiff at this moment.

Neither of them saw clearly what had just happened.

When Ander and Fran started to attack, Hulim remained motionless. Even when the wind blade had flown in front of her, she still did not move. Kunon and Collette thought that the wind blade would hit Hulim.

The wind blade that flew in front of Hulim suddenly broke in the middle and disappeared in the air, as if it was cut off out of thin air by an invisible blade.

Ender also saw this scene, but it was impossible to stop now. He hardened his heart and rushed towards Hulim with all his strength.

Just as he stepped within three meters of Hulim.

whoosh!

Hulim suddenly disappeared from where he was.

"What? Gone?!"

Ender looked shocked.

The next moment, a strong impact hit the back of his neck.

"Well--"

His eyes lost focus instantly and he fell forward.

“Eh… Eh?! What’s going on?!”

The change happened so quickly that Fran didn't even realize what was happening.
