How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 34
Chapter 8. Martial Arts (1)
Defeating the mine didn’t mean everything was over.
Because there was still work to be done to report the incident to the Murim Alliance.
“Actually, I did inform you in advance. Since there is a distance, it is better to report in advance. Anyway, in this case, the inspector will come since the Magic Office is here.”
“Are you talking about the inspector?”
“You can think of it as a position that specializes in recovering magic. In the Murim Alliance, it’s a fairly high position that also has independent decision-making authority.”
“okay.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
I’ve only heard of the Murim Alliance, but this is the first time I’ve heard of such a position.
Samarin laughed bitterly at Zhuge Xuanmong’s reaction.
“I see, it’s not something you can just say and move on.”
“Why?”
“Because the Murim Alliance inspector doesn’t understand what you’re saying. If you don’t prepare properly, you might be taken to the Murim Alliance under the pretext of investigation and subjected to intense interrogation… … Is that okay?”
“no.”
There are all kinds of groups like that.
“But wouldn’t there be a backlash if we did it that way? If we were to go so forcefully just because there was the possibility of contact with a mine or a magic book.”
“Of course, this is not the case for everyone, only in some cases. But this case is special in many ways.”
“Special? Ah.”
Jegal Hyunmong suddenly felt something and let out an exclamation.
It’s not that it’s not, but there were so many parts that were really hurtful right now.
Especially since this incident exposed some of the magic.
“That’s not all. How do you think Zhuge Jun heard your story in the first place?”
“Hearing the sound of the second coming… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong unconsciously clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, stopping speaking.
Why didn’t I like it from the first time I heard it?
“It’s possible that the Murim Alliance has heard all about me.”
“Yes. In addition, they created a strange group called the Nokrim Road Alliance. They probably would have been paying attention even if it weren’t for this incident. So they would want to take them on this occasion and investigate various things. They would also investigate the origins of that strange magic.”
“Investigating?”
“If it’s useful, I’ll let you cooperate with the Murim Alliance, right?”
“How do you say that?”
“What do you think I should do?”
Zhuge Xuanmong smiled bitterly at Samarin’s counter-question.
Even if I just heard that question, I could think of a few ways I could do it, so what about the martial artists?
Jegal Hyunmong, who understood the situation, looked at the later scholars blankly and said.
“thank you.”
“… … What is it all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t this the reason you came here to prevent such a thing from happening? If there is no background as you said, then you may face difficulties, but if you guarantee it, then you can prevent such a thing from happening.”
“Ha, why do you think we’re going to be your guarantor? If we’re not careful, it could end up damaging your family.”
“Isn’t it because you’re interested in magic?”
“… … .”
Samarin, who had been hit hard, kept his mouth shut.
Soon, he frowned and let out a long sigh.
“Oh, really. The Jegal family is really unlucky.”
“I am not the Jegal family.”
“Anyway, it’s Mr. Jegal.”
Samarin grumbled and said so.
Isn’t it completely pointless to talk when you already know the answer before we even get to the main topic?
“Don’t show off how smart you are. I want to hit you.”
“Haha. I already got hit by Minehan.”
‘Is this guy a fool?’
I couldn’t believe he was still like that after being treated like that.
“Haa… … Anyway, that’s right. That’s right. It’s just like you said. I’m glad that you agreed, huh.”
‘What an annoying person.’
Judging from the way you pout, it seems like you have a habit of revealing your thoughts on your face.
It seemed that Jegal Xuanmong knew a little about Samarin.
Meanwhile, Jegal Jun opened his mouth.
“Of course, I don’t intend to end it with a simple guarantee. I intend to use this opportunity to make an effort to have my brother’s magic and the activities of the Nokrim Road Alliance officially recognized by the Murim Alliance.”
“hmm.”
“If it is acknowledged that the magic you use is not witchcraft, it will be a little easier for you to carry out your activities in the future.”
“Is that because you received recognition from the Murim Alliance?”
“Okay. Our party is in a similar situation.”
Jegal Hyunmong was convinced without realizing it by Dang Hwa-ryeong’s words.
After all, isn’t the Sega that mainly uses poison and secret weapons none other than the Sacheondangga?
Even if the Sacheon Dangga uses it, or if the Sapa of the afterlife uses it, poison is poison and a secret weapon is a secret weapon.
However, when the Sacheondangga uses it, it is considered a legitimate martial art, but when the Sapas use it, it is criticized as a vicious and evil method.
“If you’re convinced all at once like that, it’s a bit… … Anyway, I think you understand what I mean. Anyway, since the high-ranking officials of the Murim Alliance are here, let’s just stamp out the certification.”
“Hmm. I don’t think it will be that easy.”

These are the later indices of the famous political faction.
It is true that they have backgrounds and are excellent people who will lead the martial arts world in the future.
But that’s it. From the world’s perspective, it’s still just a late-stage index.
There may be some background, but it is difficult to say that the statement has enough weight or credibility. And they probably know that well.
Suddenly, Jegal Hyunmong remembered something.
“I see. So you want me to teach you some magic.”
“……you’re right.”
The scholars gathered here, big or small, were interested in the magic that Jegal Hyunmong possessed.
Zhuge Jun followed Zhuge Xuanmong’s formation.
Samarin is about the Qingling Ring and the air that fills this formation.
Danghwaryung is a magic that allows one to freely control the wind.
And Pengak… … .
“What about Peng So-hyeop…?”
“I don’t have any specific wishes. I just want to help you because you are my close friend’s older brother.”
“Well, I don’t feel like receiving help unilaterally.”
“It’s hard to say that I helped you to this extent. Then, next time I need your help, I’ll borrow it.”
“Oh, then that will work.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
It wasn’t a bad suggestion.
In any case, the magic has to be revealed. At that time, whether or not they have a guarantee makes a world of difference.
In addition, the Nokrim Road Alliance also gained great influence due to this incident.
I don’t have a particularly strong attachment to the Nokrim Road Alliance, but if the Nokrim Road Alliance becomes annoying, there’s a high probability that Jegal Hyunmong will also become annoying.
Being able to prevent such things in advance was not a negative thing.
In addition, the fact that even Sega’s later indices learned magic was quite meaningful.
Rather than a sorcery that only Jegal Hyunmong could use, wouldn’t it have to have a different meaning if it was a sorcery that even the later scholars of the famous school used?
“Of course, I don’t just want to learn sorcery.”
“hmm?”
Just as Zhuge Xuanmong was about to accept, Zhuge Jun opened his mouth first.
“Teaching guarantees and magic are two different things. The price is not balanced.”
‘I think that’s right.’
Jegal Xuanmong thought so.
But the later indices seemed to think differently.
For them, martial arts are more precious than life.
No matter what Zhuge Xuanmong thought, it seemed unfair to exchange that vision for a mere guarantee.
“So I’m telling you, brother. Would you like to learn martial arts?”
“Are you talking about martial arts?”
Honestly, I wasn’t really into it.
‘You have to train.’
There is already not enough time to study magic.
But if you practice, you will have to make time for yourself, right?
Moreover, more than anything, Zhuge Xuanmong did not like to move his body very much.
If he had to train, he wanted to train in magic, but if not, lying down and dazed was what Jegal Hyunmong wanted.
“Yes. Of course, I know that you are taking a different path from martial arts. But wouldn’t it be good to learn how to move your body? There’s no guarantee that something like last time won’t happen again.”
“hmm.”
That’s right.
Even though Jegal Hyunmong would always watch from a distance whenever a battle broke out, saying, “I can’t use my martial arts skills,” when he came to his senses, he would often find himself in the middle of the battlefield.
As Zhuge Jun said, it was not a case of avoiding it even if you tried to avoid it.
Wouldn’t it be better to learn how to deal with it?
“Is it the same for you guys? You’re going to teach me martial arts… …?”
“That’s not true. To be honest, there’s no benefit to anyone from learning from here and there. We’ll all pay the price in different ways. But it would still be good to learn martial arts.”
It wasn’t just Zhuge Jun and Sima Lin.
Other people also had looks of agreement.
“Try it. Last time I saw you, you seemed to have a good eye for detail. You even stole my secret technique after seeing it once.”
“ah.”
Now that I think about it, I have had that experience.
Maybe it wasn’t as bad an experience as I thought.
Just like when you shot the magic bullet last time, the martial arts you learn while learning martial arts may give you a new direction for your magic.
‘That’s okay.’
When I thought about it that way, learning martial arts didn’t necessarily feel separate from magic.
“Okay, then let’s do that. By the way, younger brother Jun, are you thinking of teaching me any martial arts?”
“Well, I guess I should start with the basics first.”
“Are you talking about basic construction?”
“Yes. At first glance, it looks like you haven’t trained at all, so shouldn’t we first build up your basic strength and stamina?”
“I see. So, is your younger brother teaching you personally?”
If it was Zhuge Jun, I could trust him.
Considering his personality, I think Zhuge Jun would be able to train himself to an appropriate level without pushing himself too hard.
“Hmm? No. I’m going to submit a report to the Murim Alliance with Sima Soju, the results of the investigation into the Nokrim Road Alliance, and my opinion on magic. I’m also going to learn magic this time. If I want to avoid criticism as much as possible, I think I’ll have to stick to that for the time being.”
“Then?”
“I will teach you.”
There, Peng-ak intervened.
Jegal Hyunmong smiled brightly at that trustworthy appearance.
‘You’re done.’

That’s right.
As expected, Jegal Hyunmong was being manipulated.
