There was no great dissatisfaction with the Rosa system translating words influenced by the Hamul Empire into Chinese characters.
There was just one big problem: if I didn’t know the word, there was no way to know its meaning.
‘The Infinite Mana Yeongong Method? Is Infinite what I think it means?’
Luckily, I found a place to ask a few hours ago.
┕ What does infinity mean?
“It means that there is no end and that it continues endlessly.”
My guess was correct.
‘They don’t even require RP for something like this.’
I chuckled and checked the price of [Mugeuk Manayeon Gongbeop] again.
413RP.
Compared to the [Lionel’s Ceremonial Mana Training Method] worth 10,000 RP, which is equivalent to about 100 million in cash value from the previous life, it was ridiculously cheap.
The information on the seniority method is not recorded anywhere in this world, but prices are set down to the unit of work.
Is this someone’s prank?
You never know. Someone might have made a fake Mana training method sound good this morning and is selling it while waiting for a buyer.
‘Then it makes sense that there are no records of the seniority method. Let’s finish checking first.’
I quickly investigated the remaining training methods in case there was something like [Mugeuk Mana Training Method]. As a result, I couldn’t find any more special cases.
I returned to [Mugeuk Manayeon Gongbeop] again, rubbing my chin and lost in thought.
‘Can I cook it?’
When I actually looked for the Mana training method suspected to be the ‘Hidden Piece’, my mind became complicated.
┕ Are there any side effects if I learn this?
“Information about the Infinite Mana Training Method······.”
┕ Okay.
I immediately cut him off because it was obvious what he was going to say. I intuitively felt that the only way to learn about [Mugeuk Mana Yeon Gong Beop] was to learn it myself.
‘Choosing your first Mana training method is really important.’
Is it okay to just learn a mana cultivation method without even knowing where to gather mana, the heart or the brain?
If mana gathers in the heart or brain as soon as you learn it, it will be a big problem.
I decided to cross the stone bridge after testing it.
‘Just check and that’s it.’
I found a skill in the search bar.

‘check.’
Jiing─!
I felt that same feeling again when I first logged into Rosa, as if I was standing at the center of the universe and being watched by beings who couldn’t recognize me.
The only thing that has changed since then is the giant book you see ahead.
Sarak, Sarak, Sarak-
The quickly turning pages of the book stopped at one page.
Paat-!
I experienced a strange phenomenon as a dazzling light burst out.
The origin of Lionel’s sword fighting.
How to hold a sword.
A herbaceous plant consisting of six parts.
The linking method of each herb.
.
.
.
It felt like someone was engraving the [Lionel’s Sword] textbook into my head. I couldn’t come to my senses because it was such an unfamiliar feeling.
I closed my eyes for a while and savored the knowledge that had been imprinted on me.
‘It’s like this.’
I returned to reality at the same time as my thoughts.
The huge book disappeared without a trace, and the only sound I could hear was the sound of raindrops hitting the window.
I got up from my seat.
He took a stance to perform the [Lionel’s Sword Technique] while holding a virtual wooden sword.
It was awkward, but it seemed like it wasn’t awkward, and yet it was awkward again. It was nonsense, but that was the only way I could express it.
I tightened my grip on my sword and replayed my duel with the Four Princes. In front of me, I saw an apparition of a man with a distorted face and chubby cheeks.
– Block it? Block it? Try blocking this too! Splitting the mountain!
The attack that had shattered my skull and given me the clue to becoming aware of my past life began to recur.
The Four Princes raise their wooden swords high above their heads.
I learned something I didn’t know at the time.
What was invisible then became visible.
The most effective way to defend against it is not to block it.
‘now!’
A flash of lightning aimed at the wrist of the man holding the wooden sword······.
– Phew!
Couldn’t do it.

The vision of the Four Princes, who had once again smashed my head, faded with a bitter smile.
Even though it was just my imagination, I felt like I was in pain. I frowned and touched my head.
‘It’s not going as planned.’
I thought I knew why I couldn’t reproduce the movements I had pictured in my head.
‘My body can’t keep up.’
I turned my head and looked in the mirror.
The ghost prince’s pale face, which had been locked in the study and reading books, was wrinkled with discontent.
I shook my head and sat back down on the sofa, thinking about what I had just experienced: ‘learning a skill’.
I thought I had a perfect grasp of the theory. However, the acquisition was entirely my responsibility.
‘Magic would be similar, right?’
I wanted to learn and test out a basic magic like [Spell], but unfortunately, in order to learn magic-related skills, I had to be able to handle magical power.
It was a little······ disappointing.
I guess I had expected that as soon as I learned the skills, I would be able to display swordsmanship and cast magic as if I had been practicing for years.
Yeah, just like a game.
He soon shook off his regret with a bitter smile.
‘I was blessed.’
There are many people in the world who do not even have the opportunity to learn.
I shouldn’t have been complaining when I could access visions that I couldn’t get for a thousand dollars just by having RP.
Let’s just think about the positive side.
Although it’s not like you can use skills immediately like in a game, mastering the theory ‘in an instant’ is an incredible feat.
You will be able to see through the swordsmanship of your enemies and impart visions that are suitable for those who pledge allegiance to you. Oh, assuming you have RP, of course.
‘It depends on how you use it.’
After gathering my thoughts, I brought the skill window that had been pushed to the corner of my vision back in front of me.

Would you like to learn [Infinite Mana Training Technique] by spending 413 RP?
[Verification is cancel]
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Verification has already been completed.
Learning the Mana Training Method does not mean that mana will be stored in the heart or brain right away. It was said that it was worth investing about 413 RP to check whether [Infinite Mana Training Method] was a hidden piece or not.
Without hesitation, I pressed [Confirm] with the index finger of my ghost hand. I started having the same illusions I had when I learned [Lionel’s Sword Technique].
A little later.
Having imprinted all the theories of [Mugeuk Manayeon Gongbeop] in my head, I couldn’t help but make a puzzled expression.
First of all, it was impossible to believe that someone had made it as a joke. The knowledge about the human body imprinted in my head in relation to the training method alone seemed like it would be ridiculous to pass 413 RP.
That’s a relief for now.
the problem is······.
‘Core, that’s how it works.’
The beginning of [Mugeuk Mana Training Method] was to store mana by linking the artificial organ called the ‘core’ rather than the heart or brain.
A sword overflowing with aura in his right hand, a blazing flame in his left. Being a swordsman who can wield both swords and magic has been a dream of boys since ancient times.
but.
Swords and magic cannot coexist.
Knights cannot open their third eye to see mana, and wizards cannot go beyond the limits of their bodies.
So the research that came out was about storing mana using the core. The main idea was to connect the core, which is the home of mana, near the psyche and supply mana to the brain and heart whenever needed.
‘It’s not for nothing that I became the president.’
The levels of those who have entered Mana, such as knights and magicians, are classified from 1 to 9 stars. The origins and characteristics of each stage are not very important right now, so let’s skip over them.
Starting from 3 stars, you start to be recognized as a proper knight or wizard, and at 4 stars, you can become the knight commander of a country baron’s house. Starting from 6 stars, you are treated as a key force of a country.
This is the biggest reason why the Mana training method for creating ‘cores’ was abandoned.
I know of no one who has walked the path of a swordsman who has ever reached the rank of 6-star, joining the ranks of the truly strong.
The swordsman is often cited as an example of chasing two rabbits and losing both.
‘I know that······.’
Should I start practicing [Mu-geuk Mana Yeon-gong-beop] in earnest? Wouldn’t it be better to start slowly, starting with [Lionel’s Ritual Mana Yeon-gong-beop]?
It would be helpful if I could know the founder or origin, but unfortunately, the [Mugeuk Manayeon Gongbeop] imprinted in my head was a compressed theory with all the unnecessary parts omitted.
‘The Magic Swordsman doesn’t only have disadvantages.’
Objectively, even a 5-star swordsman, which is the limit of a swordsman, was still a very strong swordsman.
The advantage of being able to wield both swords and magic gives them a relative advantage over knights or magicians of the same level.
Of course, once you reach around 3 stars, it is fatal that it is harder to level up than those who only take one path.
‘It’s a shame to throw away magic······.’
I can dramatically reduce the time it takes to learn theory, which will be a huge advantage in learning a lot of magical theories.
However, the fact that I was judged to have low mana sensitivity weighed on me like a thorn in my throat, making me want to go all-in on magic.
If you could use magic freely just by quickly learning the theory, wouldn’t the world be a paradise for great magicians?
······ Actually, I’ve never learned magic, so I don’t know for sure. I can only guess that it’s similar to how there’s no guarantee that someone with a good memory will be good at math.
After much deliberation, I came to a conclusion.
‘Let’s practice the Infinite Mana Training Method.’
You might regret it.
If I really reach the level of a 5-star swordsman and then get frustrated because I’m blocked by the huge wall that blocks me from moving up to 6-star,
‘In my current situation, I would be grateful if I could just become a 5-star swordsman.’
The fact that unlocking the [?] in the status window might allow me to change my mana training method without side effects also had a big influence on my choice.
Above all else.
From the moment I first saw it, I was struck by how strangely familiar it felt.
Why is it that when you take a test, there are some questions that you are particularly drawn to among the ones you don’t know the answer to? For me, it was [Mugeuk Manayeon Gongbeop] right now.
It felt so artificial that I even wondered if the Rosa System had put some kind of hint in my head to get used to this.
‘But since we’ve decided, let’s do it.’
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I straightened my posture. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It felt like I was expelling all the impure energy that had accumulated throughout my body.
Next, take two short breaths······.
Of course, I didn’t expect to feel the mana right away. I was familiar with the theory, but I was still learning on my own. I didn’t know when Alfonso would suddenly open the door and come in, so I thought I’d just try it out.
When you have completed exactly one cycle of breathing like that.
Saaaah-
‘huh?’
A strange sensation I felt for the first time.
It felt like every single cell in my body was awakening. If I had to describe it, it felt like I was buried in a warehouse filled with peppermint candies. No, it was a refreshing feeling that couldn’t be compared to that.
‘what?’
A question that suddenly occurred to my mind.
The answer just popped out.
‘Mana!’
You feel mana this quickly?
‘I have to concentrate!’
I didn’t have time to think about random things.
The inside of my body, which had been cool, became as cold as ice, then heated up as if I was being burned. It was a sign that the mana flowing into my body was about to run wild.
He began to hurriedly guide the mana to the shrine. The manas, who had been unable to find their way and were stirring up the inside, rushed into the shrine like a raging wave.
‘Ugh······.’
It was painful, but bearable.
Next, he started to synthesize the core using the mana he had gathered in his mind.
Mana that repeats the cycle of gathering and dispersing.
I wrestled for a long time, sweating profusely.
Suddenly, I felt something the size of a speck of dust. It was the core. The core gradually began to grow in size, and grew to the size of a chestnut.
‘It’s over.’
Now, finally, I had to store mana in the empty core.
I looked inside the core. In that place where there was only pitch-black darkness, the gathered mana burst into light.
‘ah!’
It was the first small ‘star’ to be created in the universe called Core, where there was nothing.
I realized why the realms of magic users are divided into stars. Those who store mana in their brains and hearts must have seen this scene in their minds.
A completed small star. The mana that could not join it left the core with regretful steps and was expelled through breathing.
Now it was time to open my eyes.
“Hoo-”
I raised my eyelids and wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
The condition was very refreshing.
I hadn’t slept properly in the past few days, conscious of my past life, but it felt like I had woken up from a good night’s sleep in the cool shade of a arboretum on a sunny day.
however.
How can you make a core so quickly?
There are some who say they felt mana as soon as they learned the method of training. However, most of them are legendary or mythical figures.
Two plausible options come to mind.
First, [Mugeuk Mana Yeongongbeop] is such an amazing Yeongongbeop.
Two, the bald wizard who tested my mana sensitivity was a fraud.
I looked up and saw the ghost hand. It was shaking its index and middle fingers gently, forming a V shape.
– It seems like the prince might have a little trouble learning magic.
‘That tight-fisted kid.’
Finding the answer wasn’t that difficult.
