I Became a Murderer in the Academy.

The battle between Clana and Sera stretched on endlessly.

Brilliant flames and dazzling golden light clashed repeatedly, yet neither of them bore a single scratch.@@novelbin@@

Casting spells was starting to wear her out. Sera wiped the cold sweat from her brow, taking a deep breath.

“Whew…”

Clana’s defensive power was among the best in the Empire. Standing in the arena was enough to make her sturdy, but when she expanded her holy power into a barrier, she became almost indestructible.

The holy barrier that spread around Clana was like an impregnable shield. Watching this, Sera briefly thought of Amelia from the third year, but quickly dismissed the image. Clana was on an entirely different level—one capable of making a top student like Amelia seem trivial.

“...”

Of course, her offensive abilities were equally lackluster.

Instead of hurting Sera, Clana’s holy power actually healed her. Sera’s energy, which had been draining away, was restored again. This was part of why the duel was dragging on, and why the crowd had fallen silent.

It had been a long time since anyone had seen Sera struggle like this, and never had a duel with her lasted this long.

But as the battle continued with no injuries on either side, it became a flashy yet boring spectacle. The spectators started to drift away one by one.

Sera, now fully revitalized, looked at the Saintess standing before her. Despite having launched countless flames, Clana stood there without a scratch, unwavering.

So, was this a battle between an unstoppable force and an immovable object?

Clana held the ultimate shield, and Sera was equally confident in her firepower.

She had proven herself in the fight against the Demon Lord’s seed alongside Ariel. But right now, she couldn’t unleash the same power as she had back then.
