“Whew… This is enough.”
He closed the window and stepped back.
It was like fighting 1 vs. 10 without a moment to rest, but thanks to my opponent having only one head, I was able to find his weaknesses and improve them to a satisfactory level.
Certainly, reality and the real world are very different.
I would say that when I input a pattern that I know well in my head and output it physically, there is a constant delay.
If it weren’t for Laplace’s assistance, I would have been lost in the beginning.
“This is what it feels like to deal with a large number of people.”
Lee Seon-hu was currently receiving physical training and body correction, so he was not receiving any teachings in spearmanship.
Because of that, I had no way to quench my thirst for magic.
“Hey, Yoo Hyun-seong!”
Yoo Hyun-seong, who was helping the escort team agents, came running.
“why?”
“You try it too. Use
The power is so great that even the Pharaoh, who is wary of even the smallest sparks emitted by Ruin, can see it with his own eyes and still feel at ease.
It’s a question of quality over quantity.
This was because it was a skill created solely for synergy.
“You want me to give it my all?”
“uh.”
Yoo Hyun-seong made his sword bloom into a
The magical power of flames flowing down the blade.
The flames, absorbing the surrounding oxygen, burn brightly.
“Hey, start.”
Yoo Hyun-seong rushes towards Pharaoh, who has a tired expression on his face and is surrounded by escort team agents.
Pharaoh looked up at Yu Hyeonseong with eyes full of humiliation.
– Bang! Bang! Bang!
Perhaps because he was dealing with flames, the Pharaoh actively used air, unlike when he was blocking my spear.
Unlike me, who had memorized the strategy as if it were second nature, Yu Hyeon-seong, who was facing Pharaoh for the first time, had a very hard time.
It was because I lacked the experience of dealing with ten bandages at the same time.
– Ugh!
– Chachachacha-!
Yoo Hyeon-seong, who was hit by the bandage and slipped and fell on the ground.
Although his posture did not collapse because he was holding on by dragging his palms on the floor, a look of extreme defeat appeared on his face.
On the contrary, exclamations of admiration came out of my mouth.
“You held out like that?”
It wasn’t for nothing that Yoo Hyeon-seong had the talent to ‘see the normal ending’.
“again.”
Yu Hyeon-seong, who had chosen a posture, ran towards the Pharaoh.
Pharaoh waved his bandages around in annoyance.
Naturally, because his sword was constantly being snatched away, Yu Hyeon-seong had a hard time getting close to the Pharaoh.
After several more attempts, he sacrificed his sword and rushed in with his bare body, but was easily incapacitated when the clothes on his body were affected by his telekinesis.
Although it was not an official match, a situation arose where defeats piled up for the embodiment of the desire to win.
– Boom!
“…again!”
I grabbed Yoo Hyeon-seong’s shoulder, which was thrown all the way to my feet.
“Get there.”
“No. I can do more-.”
“The method was wrong from the beginning.”
Yoo Hyeon-seong, who had been protesting with a phlegmy voice, raised his fierce eyes.
“Unless you use magic to crush it, it will be taken away if it touches you. You have to make sure it doesn’t touch you in the first place.”
Even though he couldn’t see the magic power, he could feel it to some extent, so he showed the magic power flowing on the surface of the [Wodanaz] he was wearing.
“Like this.”
Then, Yoo Hyun-seong frowns slightly.
“… Magic power in fluttering clothes…? Is that possible?”
“So what I see now is an illusion?”
“Isn’t it something like a trillion won?”
“That’s true. It has to have the durability to withstand magical power.”
Then, Yoo Hyun-seong swallowed a groan and expressed his discontent.
“This is impossible with ordinary clothes….”
“The method doesn’t matter. As long as we don’t physically touch each other, that’s fine.”
“Coating it with magic… physically? On clothes… ? … I can’t get a feel for it.”
“well.”
He said with a sly smile.
“I think I gave enough hints?”
“… … .”
Yoo Hyun-seong’s face became increasingly serious.

Meanwhile, Baek Eun-seol stepped forward and aimed her sword at the Pharaoh.
– Is it you this time?
– I’ll try to master that telekinesis thing too.
-f*ck. I’m not a lab rat!
Baek Eun-seol swings her sword without hesitation at the Pharaoh who is pouring out his rage.
Pharaoh swung his bandages and fought back against her, who was striking at high speed, leaving behind only a pale figure.
Baek Eun-seol, who had her magical power wrapped around her sword, was able to hold out much longer than Yu Hyeon-seong, but perhaps it was because the magical power poured out by the Pharaoh was much greater.
Eventually, the magical resistance was pierced and control of the Tao was taken away.
– ah…!
Baek Eun-seol, who was facing the Pharaoh for the first time, was flustered and pulled the sword with force.
At first, Pharaoh was trying to finish it off with another bandage while playing tug-of-war, but when I lifted Ruin slightly, he let go with a face full of humiliation.
Baek Eun-seol hurriedly steps back and catches her breath.
– I see. So that’s why….
Baek Eun-seol swallows her breath as if she realized something.
He glanced at where Yoo Hyeon-seong and I were, then regained his composure.
– I see what the ‘hint’ the junior was talking about is.
“… … ?”
– I’ll go back again.
While Yoo Hyeon-seong opened his eyes wide, Baek Eun-seol, who had been taking a deep breath, slowly took her foot off the ground.
The moment when black hair reflecting in the sunset pouring down from the open ceiling embroidered the empty space.
– Pfft!
A very light sword strike is swung towards the Pharaoh.
Baek Eun-seol stretches out her sword while swinging gracefully in curves.
It was an attack that was incomparably slow compared to the usual pursuit of speed, as if competing with the shadows of the escort team… .
“oh….”
Baek Eun-seol’s appearance was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Of course, the Pharaoh only looked at him with hatred, not admiration.
– am…!
The moment when Pharaoh said something and fought back with a bandage.
– Paang-!
The Pharaoh’s bandages shook momentarily with the sound of air bursting out.
If you take away an opponent’s weapon right after, you may not be able to use the bandage flexibly, so you cannot pour in more than a certain amount of magical power.
This is because the Pharaoh’s bandage method of operation is not a method of coating magical power.
It is only controlled by telekinesis.
That is why Pharaoh’s face was covered with sorrow.
– Bang! Bang! Bang!
Baek Eun-seol, who explodes with magical power and strikes without making direct contact with the bandage.
Although there is a disadvantage in that the consumption of magic power increases exponentially, Baek Eun-seol’s method was also one of the strategies.
There are clear downsides though.
Because when Pharaoh gives up the flexibility of his bandages and starts attacking only in straight lines, he ‘touches’ even the shock of the explosion.
Once you touch it, even if it’s silver snow, you lose control of the Tao.
Because the Pharaoh’s magical power is far superior.
– Pfft!
– Shuaak – bang!
The Pharaoh, who had finally kicked out Baek Eun-seol’s path, groaned and stirred the rotten flesh.
Baek Eun-seol, who had withdrawn with a stern expression while recovering the sword, is lost in thought for a moment.
“You can’t stop it with flowing stream water. You have to stop it with solid ice water.”
This time, I gave a hint using an analogy.
That moment.
– ah!
“ah!”
Yoo Hyeon-seong and Baek Eun-seol raised their heads at the same time.
Two people, as if they realized something, each put magic power into their weapons.
Soon it begins to shake more unsteadily than usual.
It doesn’t end with just pouring, but is controlled one by one.
– Swish.
“Is it black?”
I shook my head at the question of the shadow that had suddenly approached me from behind.
“The method is completely different. It’s literally about stacking up magical power and fixing it. It’s a kind of barrier creation.”
“… Self-defense weapon?”
“That’s correct!”
I just snapped my fingers.
“Of course, the difficulty level of the Hosin Ganggi is crazy because it involves wrapping the body in the same magical energy as the sword, but the principle itself is similar.”
If I had to say, I would say it’s like self-defense magic.
It’s almost like a warrior class imitating defensive magic.
It will have some degree of protective effect, but the efficiency itself will not be very good since the magical power consumed is much greater than the defensive strength.
‘What would have happened if there had been no interference?’
Magic Eye is the best!
“Hmm. A coating of magic power… not in the form of sword energy or anything…”
The shadow that had been using its magic power several times shook its head.
“The difficulty is extremely high. As usual, as the magic power is released, it becomes aggressive… .”
That was when.
– Kkang! Kkang! Kkang- Kkaaaang-!
A metallic sound that overlaps heavily.
Exclamations of admiration flowed from the onlookers.
This is because Yoo Hyeon-seong and Baek Eun-seol, who had been unable to avoid a classic fight until now, easily overpowered the bandages as if it were a lie.
Like salmon swimming against the current, the two people move forward, drawing a trail of pure white magic.
Soon, the two swords are aimed at the Pharaoh’s forehead and Adam’s apple almost simultaneously.
– … … !
The Pharaoh stiffens with his eyes wide open.
The two men who had been glaring at the Pharaoh for a moment soon turned their backs and aimed their weapons.
Pharaoh, whose pupils were shaking in shock as he watched the two people gradually moving away, finally burst into flames in his eyes, and he balled up his bandages into a ball and swung them like a giant fist.
The moment the escort team agents tried to stop it.
– Saaaah-!
Baek Eun-seol’s sword cut through the air.
What rose from the sword was the essence of a very clear magical power, the sword energy.
The Pharaoh’s bandages tore apart and fell limply.
I raised both hands as I watched the scene.
– Clap! Clap! Clap!
A low, ringing applause.
He said, making sure everyone’s attention was focused on him.
“Good job. Not bad for your first time.”
“Is this possible…?”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this type of magical power usage.”
“That’s right. It’s a way of realizing things naturally when you reach a certain level.”
[Wodanaz] must have shown us the method directly by channeling his magic into it.
Even if you can’t see it with your eyes, you must have unconsciously absorbed the method through your magical sense.
“… my junior.”
The two people looked at me with eyes filled with all sorts of emotions, including admiration.
“How, … um.”
Baek Eun-seol’s lips, which were about to say something, suddenly close tightly.
And then he just shakes his head slightly.
“why?”
“…No. Nothing.”
“When you say it like that, I get curious.”
“Pass it on. … Anyway, I learned a lesson. I never thought I would learn from my junior in this way.”
“I feel the same way. I didn’t know I would be learning martial arts directly like this….”
Baek Eun-seol nodded slightly.
“They say he’s a master of magic and martial arts. They say that magic and martial arts are connected, but has he penetrated even the realm of martial arts when it comes to great magic?”
“Uh… that’s not it… .”
It was a crazy method that would never have been attempted in the first place if there had been no interference.
It was a level of difficulty that even Shadow, who was much more superhuman than the two, tried a few times and gave up right away.
The talent of these two people who were able to do that without any help from magic is just crazy.
“I would like to ask you to provide me with guidance on magical powers in the future.”
“Oh, I have a favor to ask too. Jinwoo, I think I can take you as a teacher after Professor Park Han-eul.”
“What kind of professor am I?”
I scolded him like that, but of course he didn’t refuse.
Because it was a really good opportunity to get involved in the upbringing of two people in earnest.
It’s not for nothing that we took the time to secure such a good spot right before going to Geomsan.
“Then, as the person who gave the map, my first task is.”
He pointed outside the gym.
“Come and help even the displaced people.”
As I spoke, thinking of Leah struggling alone, the two headed outside without saying a word.
Then he turned his gaze to Pharaoh.
I saw a guy sitting there helplessly, his magical power squeezed to its limit.
“Why why….”
Pharaoh seemed to be greatly shocked and kept repeating the same words.
This guy is the one who made it to the front lines and achieved his current fame with only one special ability, ‘telekinesis’.
It was almost inevitable that it would collapse exponentially the moment it was simply neutralized.
“… … .”
Someday… I might become like that.
“It looks like he’s lost his mind.”
“It must have been quite a shock. Physically, magically, and in terms of experience… we were far inferior in every way, but we were overwhelmed. Even if we put aside Baek Eun-seol’s sword skills.”
“Can you tell me the purpose of the diversionary operation?”
“It’s a bit obvious, but it would be great if there was some solid evidence about who was behind it.”
So that there is an excuse to sweep it away early.
“All right.”
Maybe it’s because I spoke too coldly.
Shadow, who usually had a stern expression, nodded with an even more stiff expression.
After watching the Pharaoh being restrained like that, I slowly walked out of the gym.
I looked up at the sky where the sunset was slowly setting in and let out a deep sigh.
Who would have thought that on the afternoon I dealt with Black Drake, I would also be solving a bombing attack.
“Ha… I’m tired from using my body too.”
My whole body felt heavy because I had been swinging my spear the whole time against the ten bandages that were reinforced with magic power.
I tried to rub my aching forearm, but my palm was cramping and I couldn’t get the strength to move properly.
If the efficiency of endurance had not increased due to the effect of [Wordanaz], the tendons and muscles would have been damaged before the stamina was depleted.
“When you enter the swordsmanship, you have to train to the limit….”
If we can just put an end to the chaos at the Academy for now, Lee Seon-hu will come to Geomsan with additional personnel, including Seo Ye-rin and Ha Seong-jun.
From then on, I will begin full-scale spearmanship training, but before that, I wanted to fix any shortcomings that I could see right away.
It seems like the only answer is to engrave it into your body through repeated training.
[Answer. The Master’s growth rate is above average. You can be confident.]
“I feel suffocated. Even though I know it in my head, my body can’t keep up. Oh my, my shoulder…”
“Would you like me to rub it for you?”
“…It’s a surprise.”
I was slightly startled by the sudden voice coming from next to me.
Wherever my gaze was directed, Luna was standing there with a faint smile on her face.
“How long have you been there?”
“It hasn’t been that long. I just got back from going to the hospital to get some medicine.”
Since I’m a member of the Department of Healing, I think I was assigned to the medical support department.
Well, in a situation like now, aside from combat personnel for maintaining public order, medical care is the top priority.
I glanced at the package of medicines in Luna’s hand.
For some reason, half of them were covered in dirt and dust, and the other half were a jumble of hard-to-find medicines from pharmacies.
[Answer. That’s strange, Master. They are all medicines used for rare diseases. Among them, half of them are hazardous substances that can become poisonous if handled incorrectly.]
“what?”
Brief information about the drug flashed through my mind like a picture.
My eyebrows immediately furrowed.
“Luna, I have a question.”
“Yes. Go ahead.”
“Why did you go to the hospital yourself? If it was just an errand, someone with time on their hands could have gone.”
“Oh, that’s….”
Luna blinked her innocent eyes.
“They said I needed my academy student ID to get permission to export medicine.”
“Huh?”
What the hell is this?
“Why do I need a student ID to take out medicine? In this situation, I can just process it under the name of the special department.”
“Huh? Uh… Is that so?”
Luna, unfamiliar with such disasters, asked in wonder.
Of course, it is impossible for international students to understand the Korean system as common sense.
“Don’t other people tell you? Like the person who ordered you to do the work.”
“The director of the health center said that I could just use my student ID to handle it….”
I felt my face harden.
Luna’s face, which had been observing my expression, also hardens.
“If you were the head of the health center, it was Yoo Jin-woo.”
It just occurred to me right away because our names were the same.
“Ha. You took advantage of Luna, who doesn’t know anything about the world… ”
“Is that so? I’m sorry. I…”
“No. Luna didn’t do anything wrong.”
Ignorance is a sin, but no one tells a child that it is a sin.
If you think about it, Luna is like a child who is just starting to adapt to Korea.
The person who tried to take advantage of her lack of understanding of the Korean system was the bad guy.
“Only continentals would blame those who were deceived. Or they’re con artists.”
If Eugene Woo isn’t a continental person, then he’s a conman.
I grabbed Luna’s hand.
“Let’s go. Let’s catch that swindler.”
“Ah…! Yes, yes…!”
Luna nodded with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.
* * *
Director Yoo Jin-woo of the health center was in the school health room.
He was using the infirmary as a kind of surgical procedure room, and he had even converted one area into a makeshift operating room, like a sterile isolation room.
As soon as I entered, the faint scent of blood and the smell of disinfectant hit my nose, as if I had actually fought in several wars.
“…What’s going on?”
Director Yoo Jin-woo of the Health Center opened his eyes wide when he saw us suddenly barging in.
Luna threw the package of medicine she was holding onto the desk, not caring about the sharp gaze.
“Stop talking informally. You’ll lose.”
“hmm….”
Eugene Woo wrinkles his nose as if he is displeased.
He assumed a defensive posture, slumping back in his chair.
“I think I’ve eaten with you more often than you. Even as a senior in the industry.”
“This is so annoying. Is your career some kind of qualification for speaking informally?”
“… … .”
“Stop talking nonsense and explain this properly.”
I pointed to the medicine scattered on the desk and said this, but Eugene didn’t even look at me and just glared at me.
“You seem to be acting arrogantly since you are being treated as a wise man. I don’t think the title of wise man gives you the right to speak rudely.”
“I don’t just swear at everyone, do I? I just make sure I know who I can swear at.”
A smirk appeared on his lips.
“And you can do it.”
“That’s unpleasant. Is there any basis for it?”
“this.”
Again he pointed his finger at the pharmaceuticals.
Only then does Yoo Jin-woo’s gaze turn to the desk.
He looks at it once and then asks with a blank face.
“What does this mean?”
“You can’t pretend not to know. Hey, why did you make Luna do this?”
Eugene Woo’s head tilted.
“hey?”
“You keep nagging at strange places. Stop making me do Leah’s bidding, and answer the questions I ask you. Why did you ask Luna to do it?”
“…Because she’s a superhuman. In an emergency, only superhumans are allowed to take out medicine. There’s no other reason.”
“But why do you have to use your academy student ID to take it out?”
He thrust his head toward Eugene Woo.
“You can handle it with the authority of the Special Forces. No, it’s just a matter of the opinion of the shelter health center director. Why? If something goes wrong, you’re going to make Luna take the blame for everything?”
There was silence for a moment.
Yoo Jin-woo, who had been glaring at me as if they were having a staring contest, let out a soft sigh and rubbed his temples as he spoke.
“I was simply considering efficiency. It’s much faster to get permission with a student ID than to issue a special authorization letter and write a statement.”
“You talk well. But isn’t that just bullshit?”
He said, pointing at Luna, who was swallowing nervously.
“About half of the medicines you were asked to bring are items that would definitely be subject to disciplinary action by a first-year academy student. If there is no record of actually using them to treat someone, they will definitely leave a mark on your career regardless of the situation.”
“… … .”
“I don’t think there are any patients who would need all of this. Please don’t say things like ‘Ubiquitous’.”
Sigh, I burst out laughing.
“Why are you looking like that? Did you think we wouldn’t know because we were innocent first and second graders?”
“People are just listening in silence…!”
Eugene Woo, with a distorted expression, finally got up from his seat.
Magic power surged menacingly from his shoulders.
