Chapter 4. Test (3)
6.
Controlling magic with telekinesis was a very difficult task.
But it wasn’t impossible.
Throughout Maple World’s history, several wizards have been able to accomplish this amazing feat.
So, it was impossible to earn the nickname of the best psychic just with that.
The same was true for El Palm.
The reason he was nicknamed the greatest telekinesis was not simply because he could move his magic with telekinesis.
‘Up to five are possible.’
The fact that he can control as many as five magic spells at once with his telekinesis.
It was a huge deal.
So the adventurers willingly rated El Palm as the greatest telekinesis.
Of course, if it had simply been something so enormous, El Palm would not have bothered to develop such an ability.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to catch quite a few monsters that I couldn’t catch before.’
The reason El Palm developed this ability after much effort was because it was very powerful in battle.
In reality, being able to control five magics with telekinesis wasn’t just about being able to attack five times.
For example, when there was only one bee, avoiding it wasn’t that difficult.
Because I could only focus on one.
‘Two can cause confusion.’
But what if there are two of them flying around? It’s normal to feel scared.
What if there are five of them flying around? In this case, most people would think:
‘If there are five, the opponent cannot know the number.’
It felt like there were dozens of bees swarming around him.
And when I get lost in those thoughts, I usually have one thought in mind.
‘People don’t lose their will to fight.’
All I can think about is running away.
‘The monster burns with fighting spirit.’
Of course, it was different for monsters. They had no choice but to run away.
So it was more useful.
‘There is no monster with more weaknesses than one intoxicated with powder.’
Even a child could easily predict what the red-studded bull would do.
El Palm showed it against Stumpy.
Hurrr!
Five fire arrows swarmed around Stumpy, the giant monster, like a swarm of bees, and Stumpy began swinging the branches attached to his body like whips at the fire arrows.
And every time a branch stretched out for an attack, El Palm would cut it down precisely with his Fire Arrow.
One by one, exactly.
But very quickly.
I literally pruned it.
Of course, Stumpy’s branches were as fast as a whip, and there were many instances where he would swat Fire Arrows like a flyswatter.
But that wasn’t a problem.
“Fire Arrow.”
El Palm simply had to summon a new Fire Arrow each time.
Hurrruk!
As Stumpy began to lose his branches, his situation quickly turned dire.
At some point, there were no more branches left to swing at the Fire Arrow.
It ended up looking like a pitiful thing with only the roots left.
The results from then on were obvious.
Hurrruk!
There is only one-sided attack.
Woohoo!
Eventually, Stumpy started to scream and burst into flames.
“f*ck.”
Divo, who was watching the sight, let out a curse.
It was a breathtaking sight.
But Debo wasn’t just surprised here.
“Hey, those kids!”
In front of a sight that would not be strange even if he lost his mind, Divo did not lose his mind.
“Boss! I’ll take care of those stumps!”
El Palm willingly threw himself towards the approaching Stump.
It was thanks to you that I didn’t forget.
‘This time, we can’t make a mistake.’
The words El Palm had said were still vivid in Divo’s mind, so he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
Above all, Divo knew.
‘If we’ve caught the boss, the rest is just child’s play.’
In such a favorable situation, it would be foolish to just sit back and watch the situation unfold.
“come!”
Knock knock!

Divo starts fighting the approaching stumps.
In that battle, Devo showed such great fighting skills that it was hard to believe that this was the first time he had used a polearm.
‘It’s been a while.’
Looking at such a deity, El Palm could recall.
‘This is what it means to hunt.’
Memories of hunting monsters with a trustworthy companion in front of me.
But when El Palm recalled that memory, a distant but warm memory, there was not even a faint smile or movement on his lips.
The end of that memory was always the same, the end of the memories built with trustworthy colleagues.
Send them away and be left alone.
That’s why El Palm’s eyes shined sharply instead of smiling.
He was more focused.
It made my senses tense.
‘You can’t be satisfied with five.’
With his psychic powers, he began to use the Fire Arrow more sharply, moving it like a sword rather than an arrow.
‘More than that.’
Stumpy began to cut into the giant monster’s body with sharp chopping motions, like he was carving a piece of wood.
Eww!
Soon, Stumpy’s last words were heard in El Palm’s ears.
“Got it!”
Divo cheered at that fact.
But El Palm was different.
“From now on, we will hunt the remaining stumps.”
The moment the battle ended, the five Fire Arrows, having lost their targets, began to move in search of new prey.
“Hunting? How many would be enough?”
“Everything here.”
“yes?”
“The hunt for annihilation begins.”
7.
‘A 100-person gate appears in Sleepywood.’
100-person gate.
The expression on Ebisu’s face as he recalled it was not good in many ways.
Actually, this was a very good opportunity.
‘An epic item or higher will definitely appear.’
Because in the 100-person gate, without exception, very powerful grade items come out.
And the value of that item was so valuable that it couldn’t be measured in money.
That’s why his expression was stiff.
‘There’s no chance we’ll get to eat it this time.’
When the 100-man Gate appears, the top 10 people in the port city of Lees take ownership first.
And each of the 10 guilds could have 10 seats.
‘It’s not easy to achieve results with the adventurers we have now. No, it’s impossible.’
However, among the adventurers with 2nd circle or lower that Gapor currently has, there was no adventurer who stood out.
It wasn’t that it didn’t exist at all.
‘You can’t even call them adventurers compared to the three Natasha sisters at the top of Goldrich.’
The problem was that the Goldrich Merchantship, one of the top 10 merchants and the one with the longest history and tradition in the port city of Leith, was too powerful.
In fact, it wasn’t just the top of Goldrich that was like that.
Among the top 10, the only one with the shortest history is Gapor Top, and the remaining 9 tops had power that Gapor Top could not do anything about.
Just following along similarly is amazing.
So, during that time, the upper part of Gapor never brought meaningful results in the 100-person gate strategy.
‘If this fails again, someone will be held accountable.’
However, Gapor, the owner of the upper part of Gapor, was not a person full of such faith, trust, and patience.
That was why Rakan called Ebisu.
‘And that someone will be Rakan.’
A headache in many ways.
That was why.
smart!
“This is El Palm. Let’s go in.”
“Come in.”
Ebisu, he was willing to face this crazy guy.
‘You can never win against the other 9 places including the top of Goldrich with just pure skill and ability. Then you have no choice but to rely on variables.’
At this point, there was no choice but to expect high risk, high return rather than a head-on confrontation.
‘This is such a ridiculous bomb.’
And to achieve that result, we need someone who can do something bold, something different from what others do.
‘But you can’t just throw a bomb.’
Of course, Ebisu had no intention of sending away just a crazy guy.
“You conquered Mystic Gate?”
That is why this place was created.
“yes.”
“Have you decided which Mystic Gate to attack next?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
Ebisu intended to demand results.
“As you know, you have borrowed too much money. I lent you money because I saw your potential. But potential alone is not enough to lend you money. Now, you have to show me how well you can repay it.”
That was why I agreed to that ridiculous request and lent him the money.
“First, I’ll give you a task. Pay back 200,000 mesos within a week. You have to show at least the bare minimum of ability.”
Because the upper class of Gapor used adventurers and slaves for money.
El Palm asked back at Ebisu’s words.
“You mean 200 thousand mesos?”
Ebisu nodded in response to that question.
‘It won’t be easy.’
The cost to hire a Circle 1 adventurer was usually around 5,000 mesos, and for a Circle 2 adventurer it was 10,000 mesos.
Of course, that’s the cost of hiring, and depending on your performance at Mystic Gate, your income will go up tremendously.
Still, 200,000 mesos was by no means a small amount of money.
The amount of money a Circle 2 adventurer can earn by working really hard to conquer Mystic Gate for an entire month.
That is why it was the most reliable indicator of an adventurer’s ability.
A capable adventurer is not one who is good at finding exits from the Mystic Gate, but one who can hunt monsters, which means one who can make money.
Anyway, Ebisu prepared.
‘The moment you reject it, it’s thrown away.’
Here, if El Palm shows any signs of hesitation, we’ll just treat him like a madman.
“That’s fortunate.”
El Palm said to Ebisu, who was sharpening his gaze like that.
“I just paid it off.”
“what?”
El Palm said to the surprised Ebisu.
“I met Stump at the Mystic Gate. And Stump’s tears came out.”
Stump’s Tears!
Tears are obtained with an extremely low probability when catching a stump, and are used as ingredients for potions with powerful abilities.
As it can save lives, its price is at least 200,000 mesos!
And as I said before, it was very hard to get.
“Luckily.”
The odds of it coming out were very low.
In other words, to increase that probability, you ultimately had to catch more and more stumps.
In other words, saving Stump’s tears meant catching countless Stumps.
‘It may really be just fate.’
Of course I only caught one, but it’s definitely possible that it would have come out.
So, this alone does not mean that we can be certain of El Palm’s hunting ability.
‘Luck is a skill.’
But here, Ebisu didn’t do any unnecessary calculations.
Whatever it was, being lucky was better for him now than being unable to do anything.
“Then there are 2 million mesos left.”
Above all, Ebisu prepared.
“Give me a chance to pay off that debt in one fell swoop.”
“Is there such an opportunity?”
“Let’s conquer one Mystic Gate.”
Get ready to take the test.
Moreover, this time, Ebisu was able to clearly confirm El Palm’s abilities.
“Am I going to conquer this alone?”
“There’s a party.”
This time there was a witness.
“There are five parties including you.”
There are so many witnesses.
