Chapter 43: Training

“Haha…”

Seo-joon smiled awkwardly at Jimin’s surprised appearance.

He just added a little thought based on the knowledge he learned from Merlin, but he didn’t expect her to be so surprised.

In fact, it was natural for Jimin to think like that in a way.

undefinedThe lecture of the Transcension Academy is literally a lecture for transcendents. Everything in the lecture could be seen as something that the transcendent could think and do, and of course, it transcended Jimin’s thoughts and knowledge.

“How on earth can you come up with this idea?”

However, Jimin, who did not know that, only looked at Seo-joon as if he were a genius. And as she was looking at that, Seo-joon came up with a question.

‘If knowledge is also a product, what is the case with the tuition fee I receive from teaching people?’

In a way, it seemed to be in the same context as the money received while lending Kibissis for research, but if you look a little bit, it was quite different.

In the case of Kibissis it was lending the item itself, but this sharing his knowledge···No, rather it was selling it.

Of course, strictly speaking, it was correct that it was Merlin’s knowledge, not Seo-joon’s. However, as soon as he learned it, it was Seo-joon’s knowledge.

Without going far, the hypothesis about the dungeon distortion just uttered was Seo-joon’s idea, not Merlin.

Therefore, unlike the equipment of the Transcendent Shop, Seo-joon’s hard-earned knowledge was certainly quite likely to be applied in a different sense.

In order to do so, there was a premise that Seo-joon should be able to understand and teach the content, not just follow Merlin’s words.

“More than anything, are you trying to learn from me, who is only a student?”

Jimin’s eyes were twinkling like starlight as Seo-joon glanced down.

Sure enough, Jimin soon asked Seo-joon many questions.

Starting with various definitions such as what mana is like, what the rules are, etc.

What do you think about this? There are even hypotheses about how to think about that.

It was natural, but most of them were related to mana, and Seo-joon answered as much as he could to the extent of what he knew.

“Haha… I’m not sure about that.”

But again, there was a clear limit.

Jimin, however shabby she was compared to Merlin, was called the next generation of Demon Star.

Seo-joon, on the other hand, was an aspiring professional hunter who didn’t even mastered mana properly.

With Merlin Lecture Progress being only at 17.9%, it was impossible to satisfy Jimin’s intellectual desire.

“Oh, you don’t know much about the concept of mana.”

Jimin looked disappointed and asked no more questions.

“But it was a really unexpected idea. Hmm…I need to study this properly.”

Jimin then turned around without hesitation as if she had no reason to be here anymore because her business was over.

“Then I’ll go. I’ll invite you to the lab later.”

Jimin really left without hesitation as Seo-joon stared blankly at the figure and uttered.

“……unlike the image I saw in the media, she’s a very unique person.”

“My sister hears that a lot so sometimes I wonder if she’s really the next Demon Star.”

Seo-yoon nodded as if she understood, and Seo-joon shrugged his shoulders.

Sword Saint, Calia and the disciple of the Demon Star. Seo-joon has already met three people who are hard to meet.

Dream Academy, where Jimin left, regained its normal daily life after a long time.

“One!”

Of course, it may not be ordinary to others, but it was a peaceful and normal daily life for Seo-joon and Seo-yoon.

“Two!”

One difference was that Seo-joon was no longer doing his assignments while using Kibissis, not metal weights.

Chiron tasks efficiency with the increasing weight therefore, Seo-joon has been carrying out the task by attaching metal fittings to his body, but there was a limit due to spatial constraints.

However, since Kibissis has no such restrictions and Seo-joon has now been able to finish all the tasks quickly.

Of course, he also had to carry out the task using the power of Reverse Divergence under that heavy weight.

Soon after that, Seo-joon was able to finish all the assignments for each lecture.

“Thud.”

When Seo-joon put down Kibissis, a vibration rang due to the weight contained in it.

Seo-joon stared at Kibissis and immediately picked up his smartphone to access the Transcension Academy. Then, he immediately took classes in the order of Chiron, Shakyamuni, Xiang Yu and Merlin.

[I believe you’ve understood your intuition to some extent at this point. But don’t be conceited that you understand your intuition. The intuition you just learned is literally the process of transcendent ‘entrance’. So this time, I’ll teach you how to understand your intuition and improve your skill level.]

“Can the senses also be improved?”

[The nature and definition of existence is “Who am I?” This is a question that should be asked constantly. It is a question that is always asked by the Transcendents, and each Transcendent has their own answer].

“The answer to the question [Who am I?]…”

[There are different ways to use a spear, whether you’re fighting a single opponent or a large group, or whether you’re on the ground or on horseback. Today, I’ll show you how to use a spear in each situation. First, a single opponent.]

“……What did you just do?”

[To understand mana is to understand the world. I’m sure there are many non-mages who take my classes, and I hope you’ll pay attention, as they’ll be very helpful to you when you’re learning how to use mana in the future].

“I think I’m going to lose my mind…”

The lectures ended in such a way

“Well…”

Seo-joon was lost in thought as he watched the progress of the lectures.

“The progress rate is too slow…”

Seo-joon confirmed the remaining free pass period.

“I want to finish at least one lecture before the free pass is over.”

Seo-joon once again checked the progress of the lectures. Looking at the progress, it was impossible to finish Shakyamuni and Merlin lectures.

However, it was possible to reach 100% for Chiron or Xiang Yu since his progress has been achieved over the course of 65 days.

In terms of simple calculation, the average daily increase was about 1 percent. Of course, the remaining free pass period was 25 days and time was tight.

“Xiang Yu and Chiron for the rest of the period. I think it will be possible if I focus on the two lectures.”

If he focused on two lectures or only one lecture, the possibility was good.

“Hmm… But is that really necessary?”

However, Seo-joon was unable to make a hasty decision because it didn’t really matter if he didn’t finish the lecture since if he bought the Free Pass again he could continue to take the lecture, so he thought it was unnecessary to overdo it.

However, there were also parts that I couldn’t think of as such.

‘I don’t know how much the free pass is.’

“It’s going to be over 100 million won for sure…”

However, Seo-joon had about 25 million won in his account.

It was practically impossible to collect 100 million won in 25 days.

In other words, it was very likely that Seo-joon could not immediately repurchase the Free Pass immediately after it expires. Therefore, he thought it would be easy to collect the cause and effect for the next Free Pass if he completed the lecture of Chiron or Xiang Yu before the current Free Pass expires.

“It’s right to focus on two lectures…”

The problem was that concentrating on them could not guarantee that he would be able to complete them unconditionally.

Seo-joon, who finished thinking so far, turned his head and found Seo-yoon sitting at a desk far away, thinking about something.

Seo-joon walked to Seo-yoon with a big stride.

“Seo-yoon, I have a question.”

But Seo-yoon didn’t know what was going on.

“What should I do?”

It wasn’t exactly that there was no answer, but it seemed that Seo-joon didn’t even know what she was going to say.

Sure enough, Seo-yoon’s murmur followed.

“When new students come in, I can’t teach alone, so I have to hire an instructor…”

“Seo-yoon?”

“But I can’t just invite anyone…How much do I have to pay…Sigh, do I have to do raids again…”

Seo-yoon sighed deeply and Seo-joon raised his voice slightly.

“Seo-yoon!”

“Hah! Yes, yes? Did you call me?”

Seo-yoon looked up in surprise and saw Seo-joon’s smiling face.

“What are you thinking about, that you’re not answering when I call you?”

“That’s… Actually, I was planning to recruit students but there are many problems, so I was thinking about them…”

“I see.”

Somehow, Seo-yoon seemed busy these days, and it must have been because of that.

Seo-yoon smiled awkwardly and continued.

“But… what’s going on?”

“Oh, I was just wondering if there’s any academy competition scheduled in the near future.”

“Academy competition?”

“Yes, like the last Academy competition or the recent Dungeon Sweep contest.”

Seo-joon’s goal now was to complete at least one lecture within the remaining free pass period.

The best way to increase the progress of the lectures was in practice, and in fact, Seo-joon greatly increased the progress of his lectures.

There was also a way to repeat dungeon raids over and over again. However, as he experienced in the Dungeon Sweep contest, the one or two-star dungeons did not give him much experience.

He had to raid at least 4-star dungeons but such money dungeons were highly competed for and only one or two were raided a day.

And most of all, there was a prize money for the first place so Seo-joon had the opportunity to increase the progress of his lectures and make money.

Therefore, Seo-joon’s best choice for now was to compete in an Academy competition.

“What do you mean by in the near future?”

Seo-joon answered after thinking about the free pass period.

“In about 20 days.”

“The schedule for the next 20 days…”

Seo-yoon took out her smartphone and after a while.

“There isn’t.”

Seo-yoon shook her head slowly.

“Nothing?”

“Yes, it’s all crowded next month. I don’t think there’s a competition scheduled because it’s the season when the academies are preparing for the new semester.”

In the end he could only listen to lectures and do dungeon raids to increase his progress.

“There’s a mock test at Hunter Mill next month…”

“A mock test…”

It literally meant a ‘mock’ test, not a real test.

And the reason for its existence was the same as other mock tests.

Once you fail the annual professional hunter test you have to wait another year, so the pressure of the test was simply enormous so there were many students who failed to show their skills properly due to tension.

Accordingly, each Hunter Academy made its own mock test to practice in advance.

Therefore, each academy had different mock tests, however, Hunter Mill, Ale, and Gaon, which are called Korea’s three major academies, have mock tests that all students could take, almost like a competition.

Some even say that the score on the mock test is the same as the score on the professional hunter test. Therefore, it was clear that a large number of students stronger than Lee Jun-hwan would also participate in the mock test.

The prize money was also quite large in the form of scholarships, and above all, he will be able to improve the progress of his lectures.

“I can’t believe it’s next month.”

However, the next month when the mock test was held was the end of the free pass period.

He would participate, but it didn’t mean much to Seo-joon now.

“……it can’t be helped.”

Seo-joon couldn’t hide his disappointment.

‘I’m going to try everything I can.’

Seo-joon immediately picked up his smartphone and re-accessed the Transcension Academy to take the lectures of Chiron and Xiang Yu.

Although he was physically and mentally tired, he decided to try his best, so he had to do the best he could.

Seo-joon first took Chiron lecture.

[First, understanding your intuition. Um…Did any of the students question the title of this lecture? The title is ‘Essential Lecture on Introduction to Combat Transcendence.’]

[Understanding intuition starts with the question “What does it mean to be a combat transcendent?” Yes, a transcendent fighter. What is the transcendent of the combat profession? Representatively, it can be divided into two types, a superman and a wizard.]

[You can relate to the fact that a beginner has to learn their intuition. What about the wizard? Do they need intuition, too? My answer will be found in the title of the lecture. “Essential Lecture on Introduction to Combat Transcendence.”]

[Magic is a formula. I don’t know the intricacies of theory, but I do know this: formulas are not perfect.]

[The formula is one of many laws. Think, what would you do if a phenomenon occurred that overturned it? What judgment would you make in the face of a law you’ve never encountered?]

[What if your mana is distorted? What if you’re under a mana restriction?]

[Formulas are not perfect, they can be twisted or wrong, and they change as circumstances change].

[And what you need in that situation is your intuition. Remember, intuition can stand on its own as a law].

“……I never thought about it before. Transcendents are awesome.”

Seo-joon fell in love with Chiron’s lecture.

After Chiron’s lecture ended Seo-joon was preparing to watch Xiang Yu’s lecture.

[Oh, yeah. The mock test for Transcendents is coming up soon]

Chiron’s last words made Seo-joon pause.

[There are probably some students who are taking the mock test. What I want to tell you is not to get too hung up on your performance on the mock test, it’s just a practice test. I’ll see you in the next class].

That’s how the lecture ended.

“……There is a mock test for Transcendents?”

Seo-joon couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
