Chapter 485
Luna said she might not be able to teach me something right.
True to her word, Luna didn’t teach me anything after that.
Strangely enough, Ellen’s childhood friend, Lena, said.
The fleeting remark that if you rush too much, you won’t be able to do what you can, resonated with me.
Luna’s words about being overly emotional had some overlap with Lena’s words.
However, it was difficult to do so because it was supposed to be calm.
There were too many issues in my head to deal with.
Even if it was for later, the thought that these problems were all out of my grasp only increased my nervousness.
Luna still didn’t teach me anything, and I just continued to practice my magical power enhancement in the clearing in nervousness and anxiety.
“I brought a packed lunch. Eat some.”
“uh… … . that, uh… … . thanks.”
Lena came by sometimes to bring water or a packed lunch.
It was a bit embarrassing for some reason, and Lena seemed to have noticed my appearance.
“Aunt Luna took care of it for you. Would I have done it myself?”
“… … Oh, is it?”
no.
Because I need teaching, not a packed lunch.
Luna must have had some thoughts, and I just didn’t understand them.
Luna Artorius was just caring for me, knowingly and unknowingly, not giving me the help I really needed.
At a crude wooden table in a clearing, I ate a sandwich with crusty bread, ham, and vegetables.
Anyway, Auntie Luna.
My first impression of Luna Artorius was the image of a transcendent absolute.
In Lizaira, she is nothing more than a neighborhood lady.
Neighborhood lady (the world’s strongest, brings packed lunches).
“By the way, Aunt Luna and Ellen look a lot alike, don’t they?”
“It doesn’t.”
It was similar to an almost standard level. Of course, if you look closely, Ellen has a bit of a young side to her.
Still, now Ellen is 20 years old and an adult. But just because she said so, now she doesn’t necessarily look exactly like Luna.
“Uncle Ronan also resembles Uncle Lagann very much, no, this is a bit strange to say because Lagan oppa resembles Uncle Ronan.”
Even after she said it, Lena burst into laughter as if it were funny.
After saying that, Lena looked quietly toward the village.
“Do you feel it too?”
“… … what?”
“My town is a bit strange.”
I didn’t expect Lena to say such a thing, so I couldn’t help but panic.
Seriously, doesn’t Lena know more about what kind of town Lizaira is than I do?
“It’s strange. When I see Aunt Luna, she doesn’t seem to age at all.”
“ah… … .”
There was not a single blemish on her bizarrely young face, and there was no sign of age.
On the other hand, in the case of Ronan Artorius, it doesn’t show much signs of age, but it was definitely felt.
It was quite strange to me that even Lena, a local resident, found it strange.
“From when I was very young until now, Aunt Luna hasn’t changed.”
“Is that so?”
“huh.”
Lena brought her face closer to me and lowered her voice.
“And, sometimes there are grandparents in the neighborhood. Do you call Aunt Luna Luna-sama?”
“… … okay?”
“huh. They don’t do that when there are kids, but when it seems like we’re not there, they call me that, like a very high-ranking person.”
weekly weekly.
He had roughly guessed that Luna Artorius was a special presence in Lizaira.
So, it seems natural to be respected by the elderly.
“I thought I would tell you what it was when I got a bit older, but maybe it’s because I’m still younger or I don’t have any intention of telling us at all. Won’t you say anything?”
Lena pouted as if she was secretly saddened by it and pouted.
-Bussleuk
“Lena, don’t talk nonsense to outsiders.”
With a low voice from Lizaira’s side, someone appeared.
“uh? Arta. What’s going on over here?”
One of Ellen’s childhood friends. It was a guy named Arta.
A man with a blunt and sharp impression.
If Lena is on the friendly side, this guy seems to have turned her personality upside down.
Arta didn’t seem to have much interest in me until now.
“Hey, stranger.”
“uh. why.”
There was no good answer to the blunt call.
“It’s a bit pity to see you do it alone, but let’s practice together.”
The guy rummaged through the warehouse in the clearing and brought out two wooden swords.
– Poof!

I lightly snatched the wooden sword he threw.
“Do you know how to use a weapon?”
At my question, Arta slightly narrowed her brows.
“No, I can’t write well.”
Then he points a wooden sword at me.
“Compared to Lagan hyung.”
I was saying I couldn’t.
In the end, it was nothing short of saying that he was good at it.
Lena was looking at us during the confrontation, as if she had no intention of stopping it.
Arta was staring at me and aiming a wooden sword.
I don’t feel any particular momentum.
I don’t know where Lizaira’s special point is, but in Lena’s case, it’s definitely normal, and Arta doesn’t look special either.
Enhancing magical power is not an ability that anyone can learn in the first place.
It is a power that only a few of the few can realize. Even at the Temple, which has gathered talented people from all over the continent, only a few succeed in strengthening their magic belatedly.
Me and Ellen, who realized magical enhancement at the age of 17, were very special cases.
It is safe to say that Ellen, who became a master class at the age of 18, is almost the only case.
And, it’s safe to say that I, who can compete with the master class only with magical power enhancement, is almost the only case.
So, no matter how special Lizaira is, Arta cannot be my opponent.
Considering that Arta was about 20 years old, it was not a special case that she had not yet awakened to magical power enhancement. Rather, it is very universal.
so that.
No matter how much the opponent came out, I didn’t want to press down with force while wearing the energy of magical power enhancement even if the opponent couldn’t strengthen magic power.
technology for technology.
I’m being pushed behind by Ellen, too, but I’m not that weak anymore.
Arta takes a step forward.
-widely!
Moment.
Missed the move.
-F*ck!
As I defended my flank almost instinctively, there was a light echo of a wooden sword hitting.
“what.”
As Arta leaned back, this time she pointed the wooden sword straight ahead.
“Aren’t you underestimating me too much?”
– Huung!
The wooden sword that passed my right cheek rang out with a menacing sound.
I felt the unusual speed and destructive power through my skin.
“you.”
This baby.
“What?”
You haven’t even strengthened your mana, so how are you able to move like this?
– Huung!
I stamped my knees toward the pit of the stomach of the guy who came too close to my arms, but he twisted his body to the side and moved away lightly.
“well.”
Artha tilted her head.
“What do you think?”
He spun his wooden sword in the air a few times, then aimed it at me again.
Lena is normal.
This guy wasn’t normal.
I don’t know what it is, but I’m not a person to belittle.
Even if I don’t use magical power enhancement, my ability average is above A rank.
The one who doesn’t use magical power enhancement moves similarly to me.
– Kurleung!
Looking at me with blue flames all over my body, Arta smiles.
I threw away the wooden sword in my right hand.
I don’t need a weapon that can’t withstand my strength.
“oh.”
Artha laughs.
“Actually, I like that better.”
The guy also threw down his wooden sword.
* * *
I’m not an expert in hand-to-hand combat, but it’s not like I can’t do it either.
It’s not just swordsmanship that I learned from Ellen.
-bang!
But it’s strange.
-Kooung!
This is obviously strange.
He and I clashed our fists, and a menacing booming sound swept through the clearing.
He crossed his arms to block my fist and bounced back.
As long as I strengthened my body with magical power enhancement, my body becomes harder than a block of iron according to my magical power output.
Of course, he managed to stop it by crossing his arms, and then, after shaking his arms, he jumped right back.
– Pleasant!
I felt a dull shock as I blocked his upper arm kick with my left forearm.
Arta is exerting destructive power that cannot come out with her bare body.
This makes no sense.
No matter how strong the body is, there is no such thing as physical strength that enhances the strength of the body. That was only possible through the magic release of magic power enhancement.
-thud!
– Jjaeong!
-puck!
– Jjaeok!
I even watched in disbelief as his back kick failed to hit me and broke the tree as it kicked the tree behind me.
does this make sense?
It was possible only for me who strengthened my physical abilities in a way close to cheating. By the way, Arta was also doing it with her bare body.
It wasn’t that he was wearing blue magic power.
How is this possible?
Does it make sense that there is a guy with stronger output in his bare body than me who literally uses a shortcut that doesn’t exist in the world?
Is there such a thing as a better way than cheating?
As if not interested in how my head was spinning, Arta unleashed an onslaught.
-bang! Kwakang! Jjoong!
Every time the sound of the bare body and the magically enhanced body colliding swept across the clearing, dust rose, and the dry ground dented deeply whenever he stepped on the advance.
The technique was formidable, and the power was formidable.
But the overall output can never catch up with me.
I catch the movement of the guy jumping at me and trying to kick back with his left foot as an axis.
I lowered my stance in an instant and kicked my left foot, which became the axis.
“!”
-bang!
The moment I was about to land a final blow at the guy who lost his balance in an instant and fell.
– Phat!
As soon as her body touched the ground, Arta touched the ground with one hand and stepped back, bouncing her body as if she were performing an acrobatic stunt, and stepped back to increase the distance.
“It’s not too hard. I lost.”
Artha shook his head as if to admit defeat.
It’s not like there’s been a decision, but it seems like he’s accepted that the end will be certain if he continues like this.
However, I couldn’t understand.
“What are you?”
“hmm?”
I can’t quite understand
“How can a guy who can’t even enhance his magical power move like that? How can he hold on?”
“… … ah. I said something.”
Artha shrugs.
“If so, were you still using it?”
“… … what?”
It was only then that I could see the flow of blue magic power through the guy’s body that hadn’t shimmered at all.
It seems like you can’t see it if you don’t do it like this, so it seems like you’re going to show it on purpose.
“You have to see it with your own eyes to know it?”
Sophisticated magical power enhancement to the point where the flow of mana is not even emitted externally.
It felt like the common sense I had known so far had been completely denied.
Does Lizaira also teach magic enhancement?
Are Lena and Arta different?
Ellen wasn’t even like this.
Does Artha have anything to do with Lizaira’s secret?
“Well, in the end you are stronger than me, but if I had to tell you one thing, hmm… … . Enhancing your magical power… … . How to say… … .”
Arta looks at me and shakes her head.
“It’s ridiculously inefficient.”
Luna’s words.
From Lena’s words to Arta’s words.
I now know what my problem was.
* * *
Two years after the Gate Incident.
As I could increase my status points with achievement points, my physical abilities improved dramatically.
It is appropriate to say that it is abnormal rather than leaps and bounds.
It was an expedient way to achieve something that an ordinary person could not achieve through hard work.
That’s why, because of that abnormal growth, my magical power rank went up to SS rank.
Therefore, he vomited his spirit that he could deal with the master class on a subject that could only be strengthened with magical power.
However, what went up was only the output itself, and my skills didn’t go up at all.
No, it’s not a level that hasn’t risen.
rather regressed.
“Enhancement of magical power is like projecting your image as it is. The shape of your magical power enhancement is very violent and wild.”
At Arta’s words, I had no choice but to nod blankly.
“I don’t know what happened to your body, but if you strengthen your magic power like you do, your body should be ruined. It’s strange that it doesn’t break.”
It’s just that my body can withstand my wild ways because I have strong basic physical abilities.
I strengthen my body while forcibly releasing powerful magic power.
It was just a strange thing to be able to endure it, and in the first place, the magic power enhancement I did was tantamount to gnawing myself.
Originally it wasn’t like that, but at some point it became like this.
So, I was able to beat Arta in output, but I couldn’t follow Arta’s toes in the technical part.
Sophisticated magical power enhancement to a level where you can’t even see any signs of magical power enhancement.
If I can replace 90% of Arta’s magical power with my own power, then I can’t even replace half of my magical power with my own power.
Although the efficiency is excessively low, it does not lose because the absolute value of the output is high.
I won the practice sparring, but I felt a sense of defeat.
The important thing in horsepower enhancement is output, but now that I can’t increase the output further, what I can do is to increase efficiency.
The fact that my magic enhancement took the form of a huge blue flame and burned meant that much of my magic power was incompletely burning.
This method that only presses down with force.
We need to fix this method.
“… … thanks.”
Unexpectedly, Arta taught me what Luna didn’t teach me.
No, did she know that this would happen?
“What are you thankful for?”
Arta shrugged her shoulders, but said nothing.
