Episode 59
How strong is the battalion commander?
It’s a vague question.
Because strength is always relative.
That’s why Choi Hyun-seok always had to look at his fighting power.
Even though it wasn’t perfect, it was the only indicator that could objectively measure power.
‘Most battalion commanders had over 50,000 men.’
The combat power meter I currently have can measure up to 50,000.
Most of the battalion commanders’ combat power confirmed so far is immeasurable.
Naturally, the conclusion is that the battalion commander’s combat power is over 50,000.
‘It’s definitely not a gap that can be caught up in a month.’
Compared to that, how is Choi Hyun-seok?
Last checked, Choi Hyun-seok’s fighting power was in the mid-10,000s.
That is, even if you become three times stronger than you are now, you still won’t reach the battalion commander’s average.
‘In the end, the only way is to learn speculation and become stronger!’
Choi Hyun-seok realized once again that the situation required new speculation.
“…Hyunseok. Choi Hyunseok!”
Choi Hyun-seok woke up from his thoughts at the sound of a voice.
“Yes? Yes!”
“What are you thinking so deeply about? You can’t even hear me when I call you.” “I’m sorry. I was just thinking about the tournament for a moment.”
I was so deep in thought that I forgot I was talking to Raidrun.
“So. You have something to do for me?” “Yes. Actually, I came here to ask you a favor, Lord Raidran.” “A favor… what is it?”
“Lord Raidrun. Teach me the art of speculation!” “Teach me the art of speculation?”
A question appeared on Raidrun’s face.
Because he was already teaching Choi Hyun-seok how to speculate.
“Haven’t you already taught me how to make speculations?” “To be exact, I want to learn how to make speculations.” “How to make speculations…” “Yes. I don’t think it’ll be possible to achieve results in a tournament within a month in my current state.” “So you’re going to develop your own speculations?” “Yes. If I create my own speculations and learn them, it’ll definitely be of great help!”
“Umm…”
Raidran looked thoughtful with a hardened face.
Choi Hyun-seok also started to get nervous.
If Raidrun refuses now, he will inevitably find himself in a difficult situation in many ways.
‘Please… my only hope!’
I wonder if my fervent prayer got through.
Raidrun’s head slowly nods.
“good night.”
“thank you!”
As soon as permission was granted, Choi Hyun-seok smiled brightly.
“We’re running out of time, so let’s get started right now.”
“yes?”
“Follow me.”
Raidrun said nothing more and started moving immediately.
‘Is something urgent?’
Choi Hyun-seok was a little puzzled, but quickly brushed it off.
What matters now is that Raidrun has agreed.
‘That’s good. It’s a relief if Raidrun tells you.’
Until this point, Choi Hyun-seok didn’t know.
What hell do you have to go through to create speculation?
***
Raidrun moved to his personal training ground.
He crossed his arms and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
“Choi Hyun-seok. You are currently learning two types of speculation.”
There are two types of speculation that Choi Hyun-seok is currently learning.
One is ‘Raidrun-style fighting technique’.
The other one is ‘Flomoto’.
“Now that I think about it, all those speculations don’t suit you. Do you know why?” “Is it because I’m human?”
“Yes.”
Raidrun-style fighting techniques are, as the name suggests, created for raid runs.
The Flormot is a tribe of demons that has been around since ancient times.
It’s a unique speculation.
That is, both are speculations for the Demon Race.
“You are using two specs despite being human, but it can’t be helped that they are inefficient.”
Humans use the speculation of the demons.
It was like fighting while wearing armor that didn’t fit your body.
It may be better than bare hands, but it will never be optimally efficient.
It was necessary to create a custom armor that fit Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
“That’s why when you said you were going to develop speculation, I thought it was a good idea.” “Thank you! After all, there’s no one better than Raidrun. Hahaha!”
Choi Hyun-seok took advantage of the opportunity to flatter her.
But Raidrun’s expression remains stiff.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok was wondering.

Raidrun continued with a serious expression.
“It’s still too early to like him, Choi Hyun-seok. You have two powers: magic and magical power.”
“yes…”
“That is, your speculation must be able to contain both of those forces. Do you understand what this means?”
“hmm…”
Creates a spell that melts both magic and magical energy.
Just hearing it made it sound difficult.
“Is it that difficult…?” “I’m not sure I can succeed either. No, to be honest, it’s impossible to make it in a month.”
Despair appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
Raid runs are impossible!
A capable demon from the elite class.
It was the first time I heard the word ‘impossible’ come out of his mouth, who seemed to be able to do anything.
Just then, as my head began to cool, Raidrun continued speaking.
“But Choi Hyun-seok. I think you can do it somehow.”
“…”
“My experience and knowledge. And your talent. If we combine the two, I think there is potential.”
The corners of Raidran’s mouth were no longer as stiff as before, but rather turned up gently.
Only then did relief come over Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
‘Raidrun! There really is no one else but you!’
He was truly the perfect man, except for his looks.
He comes from an elite background and is capable himself!
Behave properly!
He has the courtesy and manners to stand out even in the land of courtesy and gentlemen of the East.
However, the only problem is that his appearance is a bit fierce.
‘Over 2.5m tall, muscular. Red skin, head like a bull’s skull. Large horns, and a minor problem with fire shooting out of the horns…’
Well, what do you think?
There must be a woman somewhere who likes Raidrun’s manly appearance.
Demon tribe
By his standards, he could have been very handsome.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Are you ready?”
“yes!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been lost in thought for a moment, returned to reality.
“It won’t be easy.” “I’m prepared!” “Good. The first thing to do is learn to use magic and magic energy in harmony.”
“Oh…”
Choi Hyun-seok gave a small exclamation of admiration.
Harmonious use of magic and magical energy.
It’s a very interesting topic from the start.
‘What kind of training should I do…?’
Choi Hyun-seok waited for the next words with an expectant expression.
My heart started pounding at the thought that I could become stronger.
“Then clench your teeth.”
“yes?”
“There’s no time. There’s nothing like practice to learn anything quickly.” “Excuse me, Raidrun… Wait a minute!”
Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand and stepped back.
“Huh? Is there a problem?” “Rather than just building up experience through practice, wouldn’t it be better to build a solid foundation through more systematic education?”
Raidrun shook his head with a determined expression.
“No. From what I’ve seen so far, you’re the practical type.”
“…”
“If you do it right… no, if you experience actual combat, you will be able to mix and use magical power and magic energy as if you were breathing, so don’t worry.” “Aha… I see…”
Choi Hyun-seok ended up closing his eyes.
‘I just said that if you hit me, I’ll hit you. I said outright that I’m going to hit you!’
Choi Hyun-seok screamed, but reality did not change.
A giant cow head runs towards you with its fist raised in front of your nose.
‘Ah… So this is why they say to button up the first button well.’
Today, too, the beatings under the guise of training began.
***
A few days passed.
As expected, creating speculation was harder than I thought.
During that time, Choi Hyun-seok thought about speculation without resting for a moment while his eyes were open.
‘I’m getting pretty good at handling magic.’
Raidrun’s beating was painful, but it was definitely effective.
Choi Hyun-seok was able to increase his skills in using magic in a short period of time.
Ability: Magic Operation (E)
The rank of the magic operation technique has been raised from F to E.
However, even though he became adept at handling magic, the fundamental problem was not solved.
‘It is impossible to fuse magic and magic energy…’
A fusion of magic and magical energy.
If you don’t combine the two forces and use them separately, in the end nothing will be different from before.
Only by somehow combining the two energies can one utilize 100% of one’s power.
That’s why Choi Hyun-seok desperately thought about the method.
“Hero…”
Then Rachel came near.
She grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s trouser leg and shook it.
“I’m bored… I’m bored…” “I’m busy, so don’t talk to me.” “We’re really, really, really busy. How about “The Rose of Sharon Has Blossomed?” “Tsk! Go over there and play!”
“…”
“Hmm, should I increase the magic ratio here? No. If I were to use extremely little magic in the first place…”
Thanks to Choi Hyun-seok being a model warrior, Rachel was bored to death.
Even if you joke around with them, they either don’t accept it or just ignore you.
Life didn’t feel like living.
Rachel’s cheeks puffed out.
“Oooh… Okay! From now on, I’ll only play with Bobo!”
Rachel left Choi Hyun-seok, who was lost in thought, and flew to Bobo.
Bobo was lying on the floor, half asleep.
“Hey you piece of shit! Come on! Let’s have a wrestling match today!”
Rachel swung her fists in front of Bobo.
Bobo yawned and looked at Rachel with tired eyes.
“Kwaang…”
Then close your eyes again.
He’s been in that state ever since he was badly injured in the last attack.
Bobo spent most of the day sleeping, perhaps because he hadn’t fully recovered yet.
“Hey! Come play with me! Don’t ignore me!”
“Wow…”
Bobo turned around and lay down, perhaps because he was annoyed by the flies.
Rachel stamped her feet.
“Boo…!”
I’m bored!
I was so bored I thought I was going crazy!
At that moment.
An idea flashed through Rachel’s mind.
‘Should I try using magic too…?’
Basically, Rachel shares magical powers with Choi Hyun-seok.
All the magic she uses comes from Choi Hyun-seok.
In that case, it might be possible to use the magic that Choi Hyun-seok has.
“What would it feel like to use magic? I feel like it would be fun…!”
For a moment, I thought it was dangerous, but I quickly put the thought out of my mind.
If I continue like this, I might go crazy from boredom, but is that really worth the risk?
“Hehehe… I’m excited~”
Rachel laughed heartily, spinning around like a ballerina.
It seems like he’s already out of his mind.
“Okay! Let’s get started!”
Rachel focused her mind and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
The dedicated fairy shares the hero’s magical power, so she will be able to feel the magic sufficiently.
‘Oh, I feel it!’
As I focused my consciousness, I began to feel a magical and alien energy inside Choi Hyun-seok.
‘This is magic! If you just take a little bit of this and use it…!’
Rachel began to take magic from Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
***
Same time.
Choi Hyun-seok was still concentrating on creating speculation, unaware of what Rachel was doing.
“Why is this damn magic so finicky? It’s fine if it stays still, but as soon as it meets magic, it goes wild like a madman…”
At that time, I was thinking a lot about how to utilize magic.
An unidentifiable scream was heard from behind.
“Eugyagyagyagyagyagyagg-!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression became frowning.
“Rachel. I told you to be quiet so I could concentrate.”
“Whoa! Oh my!”
“What are you doing now…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked back and checked the situation, and was shocked.
“Ra, Rachel! What’s going on!?”
Rachel was writhing on the floor with her eyes rolled back.
It was obvious at first glance that he was dangerous, with foam flowing out of his mouth.
“Hey! Come on! What’s wrong!?”
“Hey, warrior…”
“What the hell is going on!? Huh!?” “Ma, Ma, buy, use Magic…”
Although the conversation was interrupted intermittently, I could understand the words.
“You used my magic? Why on earth!?” “You, you were so, so bored…!”
He said he brought magic because he was bored.
Choi Hyun-seok was so shocked that he was speechless.
‘This is really dangerous…’
The pain of having magic running rampant inside the body is something that Choi Hyun-seok knows best.
Uncontrollable magic races through your entire body, melting your body from the inside out.
Even if it was only a small amount, Rachel would feel the pain of being burned alive right now.
“Hey, warrior… I, I’m going to die… keke!”
For a moment Rachel’s eyes rolled back.
Choi Hyun-seok slapped Rachel’s cheek with his finger.
“Rachel? Hey! Come on!”
“…”
“Rachel! You stupid bitch!” “What did you say!? Warrior! Is a pierced mouth all you need!?”
Rachel jumped up and screamed.
“What? You’re still alive?”
“Whew… All the magic is gone. I’m glad I only brought a little bit of rat droppings. If I had brought just a little more, I would have died!”
Rachel put her hand to her heart and sighed.
‘I think it’s stranger that you’re back to normal so quickly after going through all that pain…’
Anyway, it’s fortunate that he’s alive, but his mentality was so strong that it was scary.
‘Still, you have to be careful.’
We must prevent Rachel from doing something so dangerous again.
Choi Hyun-seok had a stern expression.
“Don’t ever do that again. When Magi encounters magical power, he goes crazy like you. His aggression increases several times more than usual…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was talking, suddenly stopped.
It’s because an idea flashed through my head.
‘Wait a minute. Is it really necessary to combine these two opposing forces?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s goal is to use magic and magical power simultaneously.
However, it is impossible because Magi runs wild and cannot be controlled when it encounters magical power.
‘Then can I just use it as is?’
Aggression, which is Magi’s strong point.
Is it really necessary to change a situation where the advantages are maximized?
Release all the rampant magic.
If successful, it might be possible to produce much stronger power with the same magic.
‘It’s risky, but it’s worth a try.’
Choi Hyun-seok placed his fingers on Rachel’s head and stroked it.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I got the idea for the solution!”
“yes?”
“Okay! Finally moving forward!” “Yeah, yeah! Let’s do our best!”
Rachel threw out her fist forcefully.
I don’t know what happened, but it seemed like I helped Choi Hyun-seok.
‘Hehehe! As expected, the warrior can’t do without me!’
Choi Hyun-seok is happy to find a solution.
Rachel is happy to find her use.
It was a happy day for everyone after a long time.
