How to survive as a loser in the Yoo Seong-geom family
Episode 48
Matapju (2)
Bam-
The fight with Martin, a self-proclaimed junior knight candidate of the Royal Knights, was concluded with much ease.
There was no need to use mana.
After dodging the guy’s incredibly flimsy swordsmanship, he ended up getting his fist deeply stuck in his stomach.
“Ugh… … .”
Martin groaned and bent over as he dropped his sword.
I tripped the guy up by tripping him, then climbed on top of him and started throwing punches at him indiscriminately.
Pfft- pfft- pfft-
Martin’s grim face began to turn bloody.
“Hey, wait a minute. Why are you doing this to me? Huh?”
Martin, whose front tooth was broken, spoke to me in a trembling voice.
His expression, as if he really didn’t know anything, made me feel something hot welling up inside me.
“You really don’t remember?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know! Damn it. If you need money, I’ll give you everything I have, so just stop… … .”
The boy hurriedly searched through his pockets and produced a shiny gold coin and several silver coins.
I laughed at the sight and raised my fist again.
“I don’t need money. I’ll beat you just for the amount of pain Kate suffered.”
“If it’s Kate… … Is this because of that witch bitch I mentioned earlier? Why on earth are you… … ”
“Again, except for the word ‘year.’ Do you really not know what you did wrong?”
“I don’t know how you know about that… … but it’s like a child’s play… … .”
“Are you kidding? You like kidding.”
Woohoo-
The two cores began to rotate, and a dark blue aura began to form on my fist.
The last entry in Kate’s diary kept spinning around in my head.
It felt as if I had experienced it myself.
“You deserve to go to hell. If it weren’t for you, Kate would have become a first-class sorcerer and lived happily ever after. Maybe… …she could have prevented destruction together with me.”
“Huh, a sorcerer? Destruction? What is that… … .”
Snap!
Before the guy could even finish his sentence, my mana-charged fist struck him in the face.
Martin, whose nose was shattered by the blow, coughed up a clump of blood.
“You don’t need to know any more. One thing is certain: from now on, you will not be able to hold a sword.”
I sat down on Martin and got up. Immediately after, the mana concentrated on my right foot began to spread out in dark blue streams in all directions.
“From now on, I will take away everything you have built up.”
“Oh, no!”
Martin, who realized what I meant, crouched down and quickly covered his dantian where his core was located.
It seemed as if all the mana he had was drawn up, as his entire body glowed blue.
But it doesn’t matter.
There’s no way that the Hyuncheon-gong and Yooseong-sik I’ve built up can be blocked by such a trivial defense.
So, at that moment, I was about to kick the ground without any hesitation.
“Oh my, who would call you a descendant… … You’re just as ill-tempered as ‘that guy’. If you keep doing that, I’ll kill you.”
At the same time, a strange voice was heard from behind.
Tsk tsk tsk-
Several layers of tiny ice walls formed in the air, blocking my footsteps.
‘What is this? Is it magic?’
Seeing the small ice wall that contained considerable magical power, I concentrated even more mana on the tips of my feet.
bang!
Despite all their might, the thick ice wall could not be broken through.
I pulled my foot out of the ice and turned around, pulling out the sword at my waist.
“Who are you? Are you in league with this guy?”
“No way. I just came out because I was curious about the story of the solitary drinker.”
Suddenly, a tall man standing behind me shook his head.
His face was completely hidden by the hood pulled down deep on his robe. If I remember correctly, he was inside the tavern.
Just like the coachman, he was a guy who sat at a single table and drank alone.
“Then why are you stopping it?”
“Because you are consumed by useless anger? You unknowingly empathize with the other person’s emotions… … ”
– I’m talking about your feelings, which are not ordinary. It seems that Kate was not an ordinary solitary drinker.
The last words were not a direct voice, like that of a teacher, but a voice that resonated in my head.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
Martin, who was groaning, started crawling away. The moment I tried to chase after him.
Jejejejejeong-
Ice rising from the ground caught my ankles like chains.
“Truly. The emotions and malice you are feeling right now are not entirely yours. You are currently possessed by the sorcerer named Kate.”
“I… … was possessed?”
“Ah, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say I was possessed? Hmm… … What would be better? It would be more accurate to say that I unknowingly accepted the remnants of hatred and anger. This is definitely a master of sorcery that surpasses first-class… … It’s a shame. If only I had known a little sooner… … .”
“This kid keeps saying things I don’t understand… … .”

I turned around and swung my sword at the man who was muttering to himself. The distance between me and the guy was about a pace and a half.
[Imagination Implementation: Application]
[Brain-related island]
It won’t be able to exert enough force because its feet are tied, but it should be enough to drive the bastard away.
Fall off-
A lightning-filled sword flew towards the robed man, illuminating the darkness.
At the same time, as he waved his hand lightly as if swatting away a fly, several layers of ice walls like those before rose from the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even if you swing with all your might, only three layers of ice can be penetrated. The opponent is no ordinary magician.
So, just as I was about to adopt a swordsmanship stance after switching to a guard position, the man took off his hood, which was pulled down deeply, and lightly clapped his hands.
“That’s amazing. Even though it’s only a first-tier magic, I never thought it would break through three of the five layers of ice created by Quintuple Casting.”
“you are…….”
The moment I saw his face, I froze in place.
He had a slightly nervous face, hollow cheeks, and a strangely inhuman appearance and long ears. He was someone I knew well.
“Matapju… … Faust Rune?”
He is the teacher of Eli Rune, one of the 7-star heroes I raised, and is also the current Lord of the Magic Tower. He is an elf who has lived for over a thousand years and is a pioneer in magic.
The legendary wizard, the first head of the Meteor Sword Family and a peer of my master, Idrion Stormchaser, was staring at me.
* * *
“Are you feeling calmer now?”
As Faust gently breathed mana into my body, I felt the anger that had filled my head melt away like snow.
“Yes, well… … that’s right.”
The lady next to you too?
“……yes.”
Isabelle nodded quietly.
Our hearts, which had been ready to destroy anything they could catch just a moment ago, returned to their original place as if it were a lie.
“Both of you were almost consumed by anger. It’s best not to let a sorcerer’s hands touch anything, especially if it contains emotions. Regardless of the intention, you’ll end up unknowingly sympathizing with the emotions. Especially if it’s a first-class sorcerer like the girl you mentioned, Kate.”
The interior of the inn is in chaos.
Except for the owner, who was shivering while hiding under the counter, and the coachman, who had returned to his room, everyone else was lying on the floor groaning with their bodies broken in one place or another.
Faust glanced at the scene Isabelle had put on and scratched his head.
“Restoration and healing magic aren’t my specialty… … Tsk. I guess there’s nothing I can do. It’s not that big of a deal, so I have no choice but to do it even though it’s annoying.”
Woohoo-
Several beams of green light extended from Faust’s hand and enveloped the entire inn.
At the same time, as if time had been turned back, the broken furniture in the inn began to return to its original state, and the men who had fallen and groaned began to rise one by one, groaning.
“An elf who uses multiple spells… …Who are you?”
Isabelle, who still did not know Faust’s true identity, looked at him with a face full of shock.
Faust, with an awkward smile on his lips, spoke softly to the men who had come to their senses.
“Hey, guys. If you don’t want to get beat up by this young man and girl any more, get out of here right now. I’ll spare you just this once.”
“Yes, yes! I understand!”
At the same time, the shouting men rushed out of the inn.
“You guys… … You have to pay for the drinks… … .”
As the sad-faced innkeeper muttered softly, Faust smiled and handed him ten gold coins.
“Well, is this enough to cover their alcohol costs?”
“Oh my, Your Majesty! Thank you!”
The innkeeper bowed deeply to Faust at the unexpected windfall.
“Now that we’ve said hello, would you mind stepping aside for a moment? I’d like to rent this entire inn for tonight. Is that possible?”
“Of course! If you need anything, please ring this bell!”
“I will express my gratitude for your consideration. We will only have a brief conversation, so please do not worry about the inn and go in and get some rest.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you!”
Faust, who had received the bell from the innkeeper, turned his gaze towards Isabelle.
“Beautiful knight lady. I have something to talk to you and your friend alone, so would you please step aside?”
“Yes? But… … .”
“Okay, go up to your room first. I’ll explain the details later.”
“……All right.”
Isabelle, who seemed slightly offended by the fact that she was being left out in the conversation, went up the stairs with a sour expression.
After making sure she was completely gone, Faust moved to a table in the corner.
“Come here and sit down.”
“……yes.”
“What’s the use of formal speech between us? We’re different races, so just treat me like you did before. You were swearing and speaking informally to me a lot earlier. I’m more comfortable with that.”
“… … .”
What are you talking about?
What on earth is going on between us?
This is definitely my first time facing Faust in this body… … .
No, it might not be the first time.
Before possessing this body, in the process of stealing the magic formula for the barrier in the magic tower, Jin Aster may have come into contact with Faust, the owner of the magic tower.
I suddenly felt a sense of wariness as I thought that this elf man, who I didn’t know, was almost putting me on the executioner’s block.
… … Of course, the worst person I am in the past is the one who fell for it and tried to sell the family treasure.
As I was hesitating, not knowing how to respond in this situation, Faust spoke to me with a pale smile.
“I know very well what you are thinking. You must be very curious as to why I tried to use you to steal the secret treasure of the Yoo Seong Sword Family.”
“… … That’s right. What on earth were your intentions?”
I decided to simply comply with Faust’s request, so I spoke informally to him.
“Is it because of that damned curiosity of wizards? It almost cost me my balls.”
As he said, I thought there was no need to treat them according to their age since they were different races anyway.
“No, that’s not the right answer.”
“If that’s not the right answer? Why on earth did you want the barrier technique of Whisen Castle from the Magic Tower? Are you perhaps in league with the devil or evil spirits… .”
Faust’s gray eyes stared at me quietly.
“Our Magic Tower, no. The reason I offered you a huge sum of money to steal the magic formula for the barrier is… … .”
“Why?”
“It was to place you on the family’s scaffold.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
I couldn’t help but get up from my seat at Faust’s words, which I couldn’t understand at all.
As if he had expected this reaction, Faust looked at me with a relaxed expression and slowly opened his mouth.
“Because surviving there and meeting me here is the test you must take, and it was the plan I had set for you.”
