How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 38
Chapter 9. The Lion of the Martial Arts Alliance (2)
The tension immediately increases.
The warriors of the Murim Alliance raised their spirits as if they had promised to do so in advance.
And others responded to that momentum by building up their momentum.
The only one who remained calm was Jegal Hyeonmong.
‘It’s hard to breathe.’
Thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong shook his head and asked.
“What is your intention?”
“It’s nothing special. It’s a common story. After all, the magic book is an item of high value in its own right.”
What Cheon Yeo-hyang said was true.
In general, magic books are things to be avoided. However, not everyone avoids magic books and stays away from them.
Sometimes, there were places that wanted the magic book, and a representative example was the unmanned Sapa.
The Sapas, which were relatively free from the influence of the Murim Alliance, tended to ally with the Mines, as long as the degree was not too severe.
Of course, it wasn’t done openly, but in other areas where the influence of the Murim Alliance was weak, the mines tended to be installed more freely.
To those people, magic books are sold at a much higher price than you might think.
“Why do you ask me that?”
“Isn’t that strange? You said that it was stored in a warehouse, and that you spread out the Jinbeop and kept it safe there? But now that it’s gone… … Of course, you can’t help but be suspicious, right?”
As Cheon Yeo-hyang said that, she stared at Jegal Hyun-mong.
A look of incomprehensible meaning.
Samarin quickly stepped forward to defend him.
“That sounds strange. Are you saying that this person was always with us, but he stole the magic book while avoiding our eyes?”
“Oh, that’s not what I meant. I was just asking.”
“Don’t you think that’s a rather unpleasant question?”
“My job is not to make people happy. If there’s even a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand chance, shouldn’t I try?”
A strange tension flowed between Samarin and Cheon Yeo-hyang.
The first to cut through the tension was Cheon Yeo-hyang. She quickly turned her gaze away from Samarin as if she was no longer interested, and gestured to Jegal Hyeonmong.
“So, please follow me for now.”
“Wait a minute, I’m still talking!”
“Miss Sima.”
Zhuge Xuanmong shook his head. Then he gave a slight nod to Zhuge Jun and followed behind Cheon Yeo-hyang.
The place we arrived at was a warehouse that had turned slightly black from the fire.
Fortunately, it didn’t spread to a large fire, so the building wasn’t seriously damaged and didn’t need to be torn down or anything.
“So, what do I do now?”
“… …Why are you saying that?”
“I just thought about why you called me out. Why would you call me out while kicking out everyone else for no reason? I thought you wanted to try something with me, didn’t you?”
“that’s right.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang nodded her head coolly.
“I heard various rumors on my way here. There was a rumor that he could see the future like Zhuge Liang in the story. If he was someone like that, wouldn’t it be easy to find the missing magic book?”
“No, but.”
Jegal Hyunmong cut off Cheon Yeo-hyang’s words as if asking what on earth she was talking about.
“It’s all distorted. You don’t really believe the story about lighting a candle and praying to the heavens to extend your life, do you?”
“… … .”
Cheon Yeo-hyang tightly shut her lips at Jegal Hyunmong’s gaze.
That’s true. That’s true, but… … .
When he said such a shameless thing after doing such a bizarre thing, it felt like an inexplicable violent desire was rising up from beneath my danjeon.
“Anyway, I understand.”
“Do you understand? Are you saying you can find it?”
“No. I think you should try it first before you make me do it again. Anyway, you want to see the magic I use, right?”
That was the point.
Jegal Hyunmong left Cheon Yeo-hyang alone and slowly observed the warehouse. Then he turned the ring to increase his magical power.
As he constructed the ritual and unleashed the magic that applied it to his senses, a layer of magical power covered Jegal Hyunmong’s vision.
The information obtained through magic was converted into a visual form.
All that was visible were countless footprints, the walls of the warehouse slightly damaged by the fire, and the smell of burning still lingering in the air, dispersing like smoke.
‘It’s so dizzy.’
Jegal Hyunmong waved his magic wand to filter out excessive information.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s nothing special, it’s just a magic trick to find traces.”
“Hmm… …Can you see something?”
“First of all, the culprit is alone. He doesn’t have a very strong build… … He’s so fast that he never touches his heels, only his toes. He seems to have used a kindling gun to set the embers, and there are some leftovers there. He set the fire and entered the warehouse, but it seems he didn’t intend to start a big fire. He probably intended to naturally join the people who entered the warehouse and put out the fire.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang was speechless for a moment.
I just came and saw it briefly, but does that mean I saw everything?
“You see that?”
“I can just see it. Oh, would you like to see the Thousand Women’s Association as well?”
“… … Yes. Go ahead and try it.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded, released the magic that had been bestowed on him (it was difficult to apply it repeatedly since there was only one ring), and placed the magic on Cheon Yeo-hyang.
‘Now that I think about it, this is my first time writing to someone else.’
It was at that moment that I thought about giving Cheon Yeo-hyang the magic.

Before giving the drink, he paused for a moment and looked at Cheon Yeo-hyang for a moment.
I don’t know why, but I felt like I shouldn’t give it to him like this.
Cheon Yeo-hyang is a master at the peak. Even without being conscious of it, the energy of her entire body is naturally communicating.
If you give it a drink carelessly, it’s obvious that it will be shattered in an instant and there will be a backlash.
‘Then… … I guess this will do.’
Jegal Hyunmong waved his magic wand, slightly changing the spell, and bestowed the modified magic on Cheon Yeo-hyang so that she could adapt to Cheon Yeo-hyang’s energy.
And the next moment.
Cheon Yeo-hyang’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.
“What the heck is this… … ?”
“Yes. Anyway, I tried it. Do you see the black flowing?”
“I see. But how come it doesn’t go against my energy?”
“That’s how the magic was created. Anyway, that’s the aftereffect of magic.”
“The afterglow of magic? Is that possible? It’s been a while since the magic book disappeared.”
“I guess it’s possible.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang’s hands trembled slightly as Jegal Hyun-mong spoke as if it were someone else’s business.
It wasn’t just that I wanted to hit him, I was just purely surprised.
‘You can even track magic that has passed through time!’
Of course, even unmanned units can detect magic if they set their sights on it.
But in this way, it was nearly impossible to detect even old traces.
“Can anyone do this? A magic technique that allows you to see the afterglow of magic.”
“I don’t know since I haven’t taught you, but I think it’s possible. Anyway, there’s no time for small talk. Let’s quickly find the part where the magic book was.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang nodded, then suddenly felt something strange.
‘Why am I moving?’
Cheon Yeo-hyang, who had her mouth pouty for a moment, spoke to Jegal Hyunmong.
“Unlock this and find Confucius.”
“There’s no need for that. I actually know where it is.”
“… … But why did you ask me to find it?”
“I did that because I thought you found it strange.”
After saying that, Jegal Hyunmong immediately headed to where the magic book was.
There were gathered together items like Galsa-ryang, excluding the Magic Book. Jegal Hyunmong, who had been rummaging around the area with his magic wand for a moment, nodded.
“They took it from here. They went out mixed in with other people. And while the others were cleaning up, they leisurely left Daeryongpyo-guk. Now, we just have to follow their trail.”
As he said this, Zhuge Xuanmong lifted the spell from Cheon Yeo-hyang’s eyes and gave it back to himself.
“Go ahead. I’ll take the lead.”
Jegal Hyunmong, who left Daeryongpyo-guk, walked slowly and without rushing.
After passing through the city and leaving the village, we came into the forest. The weather was quite hot and there were many bugs.
“There are a lot of mosquitoes.”
“It’s almost summer.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang looked at Jegal Hyeon-mong.
Despite people saying there were a lot of mosquitoes, Jegal Hyeonmong didn’t seem to be bothered by them at all.
No, looking through Cheon Yeo-hyang’s eyes, there were no mosquitoes on Jegal Hyunmong in the first place.
“How did you do that? I have a strange feeling that mosquitoes are only sticking to me.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. This time, I acquired a magic that can subdue the spirits of small creatures like mosquitoes, and I just used that to tell them not to come to me.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang looked at Jegal Hyeon-mong with subtle eyes.
For some reason, I had a strange feeling that a lot of bugs were sticking to me for a while now.
Cheon Yeo-hyang sighed softly, shook her back, pulled out her wooden sword, and swung it lightly.
Phew-!
It wasn’t just a simple swing.
The career included there would instantly shoo away any flies or bugs in its path.
‘A master is definitely a master.’
Zhuge Xuanmong still doesn’t know much about martial arts.
However, I could tell that the swordsmanship that Cheon Yeo-hyang had just displayed so casually was more elegant than anyone else’s.
“I feel a little better now.”
“That’s amazing. I didn’t know it was possible to drive away all the bugs with one swing of a sword.”
“That’s the kind of swordsmanship it is. It’s splendid and has countless variations. By the way.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang stopped walking.
He was still holding the wooden sword in his hand without putting it away.
“I think it’s time to stop now. Don’t you think so?”
“That’s definitely true.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“Anyway, did the culprit who stole the magic book run away into the forest?”
“That’s not it. In fact, coming here has nothing to do with the Magic Book.”
“sure?”
“But the culprit is here.”
After saying this, Jegal Hyunmong lifted his magic wand and lightly flicked it to form a spell.
It was a ritual that had already been prepared.
As if releasing a taut string, with a flick of the magic wand, the ordinary forest was instantly covered in a forest of tangled knots.
Jegal Hyunmong, who had activated Mirijin, looked at Cheon Yeo-hyang, whose expression was hard.
“I think I’ve shown you everything, but is there anything else you’d like to see? If not, I think it would be better to end it here.”
“… … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Didn’t you take the Magic Book, Inspector? Even so, setting fire to the warehouse was a bit much.”
