Chapter 208
Monday class was full of theory classes.
“The composition of wizards and knights, which divided power in the past, has now completely collapsed. What is the reason? Heo In-pyo student. Let me explain.”
Currently 3 classes. History class is in progress.
“… … sorry. I do not know.”
“hmm. Jisunchan student?”
“I-I’m sorry.”
The instructor made a ‘hmm’ sound and looked around.
Everyone desperately avoided the instructor’s gaze.
“It seems like everyone knows nothing about knights.”
“… … .”
Everyone was silent.
And in this situation, silence was affirmation.
“Shin Ha-yul student.”
The instructor called my name for the last time.
He was the only one who didn’t avoid the instructor’s gaze and called my name.
“It is because knights have not benefited from the development of modern science and technology and have been weeded out.”
“okay. It is correct.”
The instructor smiled as if he was satisfied.
“As Shin Ha-yul said, knights did not benefit from modern technology. AI technology was not very helpful in moving the body sensibly. He began to be pushed back by the wizards who made a breakthrough in evolution. The result is this situation now. Wizards replaced all work done by knights, and the perception that knights are subordinate to wizards has become deeply established in the world.”
The rise of wizards following the fall of knights.
events of modern and contemporary history.
“Even the title of knight has become a noun for melee mages like Kyle Bentia in England.”
If it’s important, it’s important, if it’s not important, the unimportant modern history kept popping out of the instructor’s mouth.
“oh!”
“ah… … ! That’s why it’s called the Storm Knight.”
Exclamations of exclamation erupted from all around.
The story of the knight and the wizard has a pretty interesting narrative.
History and all that would be so much fun.
‘Although I already know, I have no inspiration.’
No matter how interesting a story is, if you listen to it two or three times, you won’t feel anything.
I listened to the instructor’s words with one ear, let it out with the other, and started thinking about something else.
‘Considering the contents of the class, there is no time to ask a question separately from now on. I need to study something about the Ring of Awakening.’
I’m sorry, Instructor, but there’s no need to listen again to what you already know.
Rather than wasting time like that, it’s better to study what I need.
I slowly started to follow through yesterday and the things I studied the day before.
‘The structure of mana. I think I know a little bit, but I still don’t know the rules… … .’
The most important mana structure in weaving the ring of awakening.
I analyzed the structure of mana that I had grasped over the past two days.
* * *
All classes for the day are over.
We have been training for a while.
As the training was done in 5 days, light training was mainly performed in the sense of loosening up the body.
Well, it’s light training, but it’s hardcore training by other students’ standards.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”
After all the training was over, Soonchan started the breathing exercise.
Open your chest wide, inhale and exhale as deeply as you can.
It seemed to be quite relaxed.
Normally, it was the timing when I would have been rolling on the ground and singing that I would die.
“I guess you haven’t been playing for five days?”
It seems that he has undergone considerable training over the past five days.
If it wasn’t for that, I couldn’t be fine like this.
“How are you playing when the skipping exam is right around the corner? I was just focused on training. Sasha.”
Soonchan clenched his fist and punched the air.
“how is it? Does this alone make you feel different?”
Compared to 5 days ago, the strength and density of the power in the fist is markedly different.
I feel like I’ve been trained in something.
“Who did you learn from?”
“Who are you learning from? Of course I did it alone.”
“I would have done it alone.”
That level of improvement in performance is not something Soonchan can achieve by training alone.
“Did the blue mage tower watch over you?”
There are few people who can raise Soonchan’s performance to that level in 5 days.
Among them, there is one person who is related to Sunchan. There is only the blue mage tower lord.
“… … It’s because they notice really fast.”
Soonchan clicked his tongue as if he was unlucky.
“Yes ma’am. The blue mage lord and Suah Jung helped me. Are you okay?”
However, that expression was short-lived.

Soon-chan’s expression was colored with light. She felt as if she were seeing a faithful priest.
An expression of infinite gratitude and admiration for the blue mage lord.
“It looks like the blue mage tower lord has high expectations for you.”
“Is it like that too? Am I the only one who thinks so?”
“Well, maybe he cared more because he was my friend. Still, if I hadn’t expected it, I wouldn’t have watched the training myself. Because it was all I could do with secretary Jeong Soo-ah.”
“right? Right?”
Sunchan smiled brightly.
“A monster rookie who receives the expectations of the blue mage lord… … Hehe.”
“Isn’t it embarrassing to say that with your own mouth?”
“what? I was just talking about objective facts based on facts.”
A smile that says the world is happy.
Seeing that smile, something heated up inside me.
“Let’s see if I can still be smiling like that after training tomorrow.”
“Do you think I’m afraid to say that? There’s no way. The me of now is different from the me of last week. Right now, being favored by the blue mage lord, I just don’t complain about training.”
Soon-chan said, ‘Eumhaha!’ I laughed out loud and laughed out loud.
it’s real shit
The words came out of my throat.
‘… … See you at training tomorrow.’
My goal tomorrow is to erase Sunchan’s elated smile.
How should I increase the intensity of training so that rumors that I have raised it well will spread?
I laughed evilly at that thought.
While laughing like that, I saw Adela sitting blankly next to me.
“… … .”
It looks like something has gone missing.
“Adela, you have a good rest today.”
“… … yes? yes.”
Adela totally spread out in training today.
For Adela, it must have been a light warm-up. She passed out less than half of her training and collapsed.
“That’s why I told you to take a break from training today. Adela, you didn’t make a fool of yourself? I have nothing to say now.”
Soonchan helped out with a word.
“… … sorry. I will take a good rest today.”
As Sunchan said, Adela’s condition today was not a word.
I wonder if I couldn’t have digested even half of today’s training.
At that level, I couldn’t sleep for 5 days.
‘Maybe it’s because of me?’
The reason Adela hasn’t been able to sleep for five days is most likely because of me.
He must have stayed awake for five days and nights thinking about the relationship between me and Captain Charles.
In the meantime, the training would have been conducted steadily, so it was worth being in such a state.
… … This, I’m sorry for nothing.
“okay. Tomorrow, I hope that the dark circles that have reached the cheekbones are gone.”
“yes.”
Sunchan said that and turned his gaze to me.
“No, but why are you fine?”
“what?”
“You were no different from Adela. Why are you so fine now?”
“You told me this morning. I’m not making a fuss like that. I wasn’t very tired.”
Dark circles came down to my real cheekbones in the morning, and whatever, I wasn’t really that tired.
It was just a matter of making the elixir and putting too much care into it.
It’s not like Adela did too much or anything like that.
“Where did you go for lunch? Did you take a nap then?”
“Similar.”
After taking a break during lunch break and wearing ‘AS’ for an hour, the fatigue disappeared like snow melting.
“Do you really think your body is made of iron? Can that be resolved by being drunk in an hour? There is no iron man, really.”
“Isn’t this the difference between your usual efforts?”
I glared at Soonchan with a smile that was unlucky in the world.
Soon-chan frowned with an expression of ‘Oh, how lucky.’
“… … This fatigue must have been due to my lack of effort.”
“uh?”
But unexpectedly, Dill bounced the other way.
Adela suddenly sulked. She seems to have accepted that she couldn’t complete her training because of her own lack of effort.
“no. Adela, I didn’t mean to you… … .”
“Wow, that was really bad. How could you say such harsh words to a kid in a bad condition? Not even human.”
Soon-chan bit me because he wanted it to be this time.
“Adela. Don’t keep this non-human foal to heart. Get some rest. How do you say that rest can be solved with effort? It’s not a ssang-Eight years, it’s not a mental theory. Whew.”
Soon-chan glares at me with an expression of happiness in the world.
It’s an expression that says to refute if you’re going to refute.
The two eyes looking at me are saying this.
‘If I tell you that I lacked effort again here, Adela will not sleep well today. will you do it again? Wouldn’t it be better not to?’
I said.
In fact, if I say anything more here, Adela will do too much tonight.
That’s not going to happen.
“… … .”
In the end, I chose silence.
Seeing my reaction, Soonchan jumped even more.
A hyena with its prey in front of it bites like crazy, as if it has lost control.
“So you should be able to cover up your words… … .”
Soon-chan, who was excited about the chance to attack after a long time, fired a rapid-fire rap.
I couldn’t help but listen to Sunchan’s words.
‘… … See you tomorrow for real.’
It was the moment when tomorrow’s training intensity was increased by 10%.
* * *
morning that day.
I left the dormitory alone and headed to a nearby secluded park.
Park in the dark.
It seems that the landscaping was finished not long ago, the view is quite beautiful.
ha ha ha ha
Miho, who was being held in my arms, yawned loudly.
Perhaps because she overworked herself once more on the last trip to Mt. Baekdu, Miho still looks tired every day.
“Sorry. miho. I was tired, but he asked me to come with him.”
According to Mimir, he would have to sleep all day for up to two weeks at the longest to fully recover.
As much as I brought Miho back, I felt sorry for nothing.
Miho shook his head as if he was okay with my apology.
Then he smiles cutely and buries his face on my chest.
“It’s so cute I’m dying.”
I gently stroked Miho’s hair.
snap!
At that moment, Miho’s ears perked up.
The indolent look he felt just before disappeared like snow melting, and a sharp look took its place.
It must have come.
“I had some mistakes, so I tried my best to hide my presence more than usual, but it doesn’t work.”
From the ground at the point Miho was looking at, Shadow slowly appeared.
“I’ll have to give up avoiding the beast’s eyes.”
Just like when we met in the park before.
Forms a thin shadow barrier that erases only the detection of mana, including the surrounding CCTV.
With this, there is no way that our conversation will be leaked to the outside world.
“Have you prepared your list?”
“It’s pretty merciless. To go straight to business without saying hello. This one suffered pretty serious wounds to carry out your operation.”
Shadow slowly erased the shadow covering his body.
Shadow, whose original form was revealed in an instant. His body was full of burns that didn’t look light at first glance.
These were deliberately created wounds to manipulate the traces of battle at the time of the incident and to give rationality to Shadow’s escape.
“… … Are you feeling better?”
“There is no other way to completely bow down and receive a bow.”
Shadow laughed.
“okay. Okay. I also started to slowly heal. Because I don’t even feel the pain anymore.”
“… … now?”
I don’t even feel the pain anymore.
Does that mean that you have felt the pain before?
‘Are you talking about the pain you feel indirectly through the shadow?’
No, according to Shadow’s words, pain transmitted indirectly cannot be called pain.
I wouldn’t have to describe it as pain.
‘Then did you feel real pain?’
Is it because of Helios’ Heavenly Demon?
That’s when I was about to think.
“Take it.”
Shadow handed me a brand new USB. It was a simple terminal that boasted the highest level of security with magic.
“Code is DR0FB-D45553-2SNWE-R02Z-GQPG-H. I have enclosed the mana code separately.”
A small chip superimposed behind the USB.
As Shadow said, it was a sample with the mana code imprinted on it.
Only those who have acquired the mana code through this sample can open this USB.
“I will leave the use of the data entirely up to you. I trust you will use it well.”
“yes. I will use it well so that you do not suffer too much damage.”
The data must be used carefully so that Shadow will not be suspected of being an internal enemy of the Black Mage Tower and eliminated.
Additionally, to prevent other spies from getting a chance to escape. I’ll have to come up with a plan to blow it up.
Well, if you ask Sophia-sama for this, she will take care of it.
“Then, let’s talk about additional compensation next.”
additional remuneration.
I’m talking about the work that helped with the process of this parade.
Since it was a non-trade help, a reasonable reward should be given.
“What do you want?”
“All I want is one thing.”
To remove Umbra’s shadow.
“Sorry, but that… … .”
“okay. Of course not. It’s too big to count as additional compensation. I’ve said it once.”
Shadow laughed.
“What I want in return for this job is the right to ask you questions. In other words, you have the right to answer my questions unconditionally and truthfully.”
“First, let’s hear the question. It may be a question I cannot answer.”
“hmm. From my point of view, I think it’s quite a concession. I never thought I would say that this is a question I can’t answer.”
“… … I am willing to answer pretty much anything. However, there are some things I can’t answer. That’s what I said.”
“… … hmm. Right. Then, as you said, let’s start with the question.”
Shadow came a little closer to me.
“The heavenly horse of Helios. what the hell is that magic? Why did my sense of touch and sight temporarily recover?”
“Your senses of sight and touch have been restored?”
That means that the Heavenly Demon of Helios influenced the shadows of Umbra.
‘Helios’ heavenly horse doesn’t have that much power?’
At Shadow’s incomprehensible words, my head immediately became complicated.
