How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 64
Chapter 15. Party Agreement (5)
In the martial arts world, the one with the best martial arts skills is the best.
Isn’t it a place where even if you have some personality flaws, if you excel in martial arts, you are recognized for your individuality?
‘Come to think of it, all the top masters I’ve met so far had some kind of strange personality.’
It’s the same with Margin Gwangdo and Cheon Yeo-hyang.
Rather, I think that Danggon is on the moderate side.
“Anyway, it looks like everything is sorted out. You can come down now.”
“Hmm.”
Jegal Hyunmong, who had come down to the ground like that, suddenly discovered his own body shaking.
Because he was riding on Danggon’s back and shaking so much, he suffered from a kind of motion sickness.
“Are you okay? I know it’s a bit odd to say this, but I think you should get some exercise.”
“I will be lenient.”
After saying this, Jegal Hyunmong stood up forcefully.
Thanks to the activities of Danggon and Danghwaryeong, the surrounding area was filled with spider corpses.
“Is it okay to say that this has been roughly dealt with?”
“Hmm, I guess so. Since we got rid of the spiders that caused the poison.”
Danggon smacked his lips.
“It’s a shame, though. If it weren’t for the magic, I would have collected it and used it for research on poison.”
“That’s right… … .”
As it was not easy to find such a poisonous spirit, Dang-gon and Dang-hwa-ryeong glanced at Jegal Hyun-mong with regret.
“That’s too bad.”
“No, Jegal. Is there no other way?”
“Why are you doing that to me?”
“I just thought it would work out.”
Jegal Hyunmong sighed.
“Of course I also… … .”
When I thought about it, it didn’t seem particularly difficult.
Hadn’t he already perfected a technique to drive out a specific poison?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to reverse that spell and create one that only accepts certain poisons?
“Danggon Daehyeop. Poisonous creatures usually have venom sacs where they store their poison, right? Do those spiders have those too?”
“When I put the needle in earlier, there was a place where the venom was particularly strong. That must be it.”
“Then please do the work like that.”
It was an unexpected request, but Danggon didn’t ask any more questions.
Before he knew it, Dang-gon had become familiar with the man named Jegal Hyun-mong. In fact, it was more interesting to see what he did directly than to ask him.
Pubber pubber.
The needles were accurately inserted into the venom sacs of the dead spiders, and Jegal Hyunmong, who saw the venom being emitted, swung his magic wand as if winding something up.
Okay then.
Swish!
A wind blew from somewhere and began to swirl like a whirlwind, sucking up the poison spewing out from here and there.
Soon the venoms began to stick together and clump together, creating a considerable amount of venom.
Magi was the essence of pure poison that had been thrown out.
Zhuge Xuanmong controlled it well and placed it in a suitable, hollowed-out place.
“I think this will work.”
“… … Master Zhuge. You. Do you have any intention of joining the Tang family?”
“yes.”
That was a resolute rejection.
Danggon nodded as if he had expected that.
‘Honestly, I’m greedy, but… … .’
I had no intention of being too greedy.
It’s like cutting open the belly of a hen that lays golden eggs.
‘Maybe that’s why I intentionally create connections here and there.’
It may have been a kind of preparation to prevent any one place from becoming greedy by proving its own usefulness.
Meanwhile, Jegal Hyunmong breathed a sigh of relief when Danggon unexpectedly gave up quickly.
Even so, these days, people are less cautious about using magic.
I thought I had to be a little careful because there is a limit to how much I can slowly muddle through.
While thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong suddenly felt something and turned his gaze to one side.
“Squeak, squeak.”
There, a civet that had fought the spider earlier was looking at Jegal Hyunmong with eyes full of caution.
At first glance, it looked like a serious situation.
There were also wounds from fangs and claws, but it seemed that the poisoning was particularly severe and that it was unable to control its body properly.
Jegal Hyunmong slowly approached and crouched down in front of the raccoon.
“It’s okay. We are not enemies.”
“Hey, what are you trying to convince the beast of?”
As he spoke, Dang Hwa-ryeong rummaged through his pockets, took out a piece of beef jerky, and shook it to show it to him.
But the civet retreated, feeling wary, and then began to struggle.
“You seem quite cautious.”
“If you keep going like this, you might die. Where… … .”

This time, Danggon approached the raccoon without hesitation and extended his hand.
The cambi, who was naturally on guard, tried to bite right away, but Danggon just smirked.
“You’re trying to bite my finger just like that, you still have a long way to go.”
Danggon, who had been releasing strength by simply snapping his fingers to deflect the civet’s attacks, immediately reached out and grabbed the civet’s torso as soon as his strength had subsided to a certain extent.
Then he lightly tapped the raccoon’s body here and there and completely knocked it out.
When Jegal Hyunmong saw that, he was purely amazed.
“What happened?”
“I paralyzed this guy for a moment. I can do it by forcibly infusing energy into his meridians with my internal energy.”
“… … First, I’ll apply some medicine.”
Zhuge Xuanmong took out the Wuhougu and applied it to the sagging body of the civet.
Although it wasn’t a medicine made for animals, the civet’s expression seemed to soften a little, perhaps because it was better than not applying it at all.
“Then should we start heading back now?”
I caught a spider and had my own harvest.
When I came down from the mountain, the spiders were already there.
‘I’m pretty tired.’
A lot of things have happened here and there.
Block the inflow of poison, dig a new well, and today we climbed the mountain and dealt with the spiders.
‘And tomorrow, Danggon Daehyeop said he would look for the polluted water source.’
If we succeed in purifying Suwon, the events in this village will be somewhat concluded.
As he thought so, Jegal Hyunmong nodded his head.

After reaching Circle 2, Allen was still repeating the same life.
‘The treatment is a bit bad, though.’
It seems that the fact that he was a wizard and used his magic wand as a sword was considered odd by other wizards.
One, Rowlon was happy to oblige.
“A sword! In some ways, it may be that you have discovered the method that best suits you.”
From Jegal Hyunmong’s perspective, Rowlon seemed to feel a bit of a sense of indebtedness towards Allen.
In fact, Allen’s talent is enormous, but he is worried that he might be taking a long detour because of himself.
Especially, if you look at the technology that Allen presented this time, it showed an outstanding level of perfection that added strength to that sense of debt.
“By engraving the spell on your body, you maintain a state similar to using magic all the time… … If the magicians of the Blessing School learn of this theory, they might literally drool over you.”
It was said that the magic of the Buyeo School was far inferior to Allen’s.
Compared to the past, when one had to modify one’s body or get a tattoo, being able to activate magic simply by increasing one’s magical power was a huge advantage.
“Anyway, now that you’ve reached the second circle, you can now choose what you want to learn. What do you want to learn?”
“Hmm.”
Allen thought for a moment, then said to Rowlon.
“I want to learn as many different things as possible.”
“Hmm, but isn’t that far from your aptitude?”
“I can learn the black stuff myself, so I should learn other things that I can’t learn. And I think I can develop more by broadening my horizons.”
At Allen’s words, Rowlon nodded.
Back at the Tower, Allen’s life is a lot better than before.
As Allen rose to the second circle, he gained quite a good reputation for saving his fellow students, and some people approached him and showed interest.
As he made new connections, Allen learned various magic tricks.
One of the most interesting things was that from the 2nd circle onwards, you start learning attack magic in earnest.
What fundamentally strengthens the power of magic is magic itself.
Even if the spell is simple, if you infuse it with magical power, you can produce magic of decent power.
And there were many ways to infuse magic into a drink.
How to lower magical power load in various ways, how to store more magical power with one technique, how to store magical power more safely by stacking the same technique while consuming computational power, and how to amplify power using a magic circle.
There was also a way to increase physical power through shape-shifting without consuming a large amount of magical power.
Of course, Allen didn’t only learn offensive magic.
For example, communication magic.
“—With this magic, you can communicate with animals by reading their emotions and superficial intentions, even if they can’t speak. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything can be done with magic alone.”
To achieve that kind of communication, drinking alone was not enough.
Open your heart through communication.
By force or by obedience according to the laws of nature.
‘I knew it.’
Allen chose the latter.
Allen, who had beaten and subdued the rampaging wolf, tried to use magic and confidently spoke to the professor.
“It worked, Professor! Now that wolf is afraid.”
“… … I’m afraid of you too.”
The same was true for Jegal Hyeonmong.

The next day.
Jegal Hyunmong opened his eyes and stretched.
The sun was high in the sky. It was a pretty satisfying wake-up time.
When I went outside, I saw Dang Hwa-ryeong practicing.
“Are you awake now? I told you, you’re secretly lazy.”
“It’s a law that says you have to rest when it’s time to rest. By the way, has Grandmaster Danggon not returned?”
“Not yet. But you will return before it is too late.”
Tang Hwa-ryeong didn’t seem too worried since Tang Gon was a top-class swordsman, and Zhuge Liang completely agreed with that.
“What about the raccoon?”
“We locked him up. He was quiet. He didn’t even run away.”
“hmm.”
Jegal Hyunmong walked towards the room where we were.
As we opened the door and went in, the raccoon in the cage flinched and looked at Jegal Hyunmong.
It seemed like the hostility had died down a bit compared to yesterday.
“Squeak! Kkiik! Kkieeee!”
Instead, he made a little noise.
“He’s been doing that for a while now. I don’t know if he’s saying he’s sick or if he wants me to let him out.”
“hmm…….”
As he said this, Dang Hwa-ryeong sneaked up behind Jegal Hyeon-mong.
I felt a warm sensation, perhaps because I had just practiced.
“Isn’t that because you sweat?”
“There are really a lot of ways to fall behind.”
Anyway, as Dang Hwa-ryeong said, the raccoon seemed to want to convey something.
At least it didn’t feel like it was sick, or hungry, or something like that.
‘Let’s give it a try.’
Jegal Hyunmong raised his magical power.
