Chapter 172 – Enchantment and the Love Potion

Rebecca and I recharged our magic all night and fell asleep at dawn. Of course, during that time she was not free to indulge in pleasure. Using the magic power measurement function of the wand, we measured the change in our magic coefficient one by one.

‘Thanks to that, though the atmosphere was a bit broken.’

To say that instead of having sex, we had to touch each other with a wand and record the rate of change in the magic coefficient, it would break the sticky mood. Still, there was nothing I could do to figure out the mechanism of magical power charging.

When the next morning dawned, I told Rebecca what I had learned about her magic charge.
I told Rebecca, who had just woken up, lying on the bed and covering herself with the same blanket. You could say that this is the pillow talk between the two of us, a man and a woman, entwined by magical powers.

“Rebecca. Over the course of yesterday, the two of us’ magic coefficient increased by 5. This is how it looks like after charging magic for 8 hours.”
“Oh, isn’t that a lot?”

8 hours.
The magic attribute factor obtained by spending about one-third of the day is 5. My power factor went exactly 155, and Rebecca’s power factor changed to 125. The number of magic attribute factor 5 may seem small because it is a single digit, but in reality it is not. Listening to Rumi’s explanation, I was able to realize the greatness of magic power charging.

[In order for one wizard to obtain a magic coefficient of 1, he must continue to eat and train for a month. The wizard obtained a magic coefficient five times that in just one day.]

The number that increases after five months of training is the Magic Coefficient of 5.
However, we acquired five months’ worth of magic just by having sex for one night. It’s only been a few months since I became a wizard, but it was thanks to this tremendous efficiency that I was able to grow at a tremendous speed.

[Of course, you can’t become a proper wizard just by blindly increasing your magic power. You have to increase your proficiency while writing spells yourself so you can fight a duel that overwhelms wizards of the same level.]

But it’s not okay to be immersed in sex all day long. Rather than continuing to increase magic power, he had to increase his mastery of using spells. You don’t have to listen to Rumi’s advice to know that much.

I said while stroking Rebecca’s hair as she lay next to me.

“It means that you can build magic dozens of times faster than others. Taking on the 24-hour sex challenge wouldn’t be bad either.”
“24 hours… What?”
“24-hour sex challenge. How about it? You just hold onto me and roll around in the room with me all day. At that time, I’ll teach you each of the 48 number positions with your body.”

Hearing my joking suggestion, Rebecca broke into a cold sweat.

“Th-If I go through that, I’ll turn into a lewd woman. All day long I’ll think about holding you.”
“Okay. Why don’t you try it today?”

Rebecca, who has turned into a naughty constitution, is also very good!
I was cheap, but unfortunately Rebecca herself didn’t think so.

“I think you should do it in moderation, Luke.”

Reciting a line from her sex education textbook, Rebecca pulled herself up. After washing her body in her shower, she prepared to leave for her morning practice.
These days, Rebecca isn’t training alone, she’s just joined the swordsman’s guild.

“I’m going to learn swordsmanship. I have to go to the guild early in the morning so I can get personal guidance from the master.”
“Are you talking about the swordsman’s guild?”
“Yes. Bhopal Sword! If you’re bored, you can follow me too.”

Vorpal Sword.
A famous swordsman guild established in Yoensuu. As a group of warriors studying swordsmanship, it was a place like a swordsmanship dojo in another world. Anyone who paid money could learn swordsmanship there.

‘I also wanted to learn swordsmanship in the past.’

When he was a rookie adventurer, he went to various guilds to learn skills that would be useful in quests. Whether it’s an archer’s guild that teaches you how to shoot a bow, or a swordsman’s guild that teaches you how to use a sword. However, most of the classes were expensive, so it was impossible for me, who was poor, to take classes.

‘Was the monthly tuition at Bhopal Sword 3 silver? I don’t know how much of an amazing swordsman they teach me.’

I glanced at Rebecca, who was getting ready to leave the room. Rebecca looks cute just by looking at her appearance, but she is a girl who is subtly practical.
It must mean that the teachings of the swordsman guild are worth paying a lot of money for, 3 silver.

“Rebecca. Is it worth learning swordsmanship?”
“It’s great. I took the class on the first day and paid for half a year’s tuition. This time, I poured the money I earned from escort quests into it.”

Hearing Rebecca’s compliments, I looked at the cane I had left in the corner of the room. A pure white quarterstaff reaching 180 cm. After hearing the story of the prosecutor’s guild and seeing the quarter staff, I couldn’t help but worry about this.

‘Should I take this opportunity to learn baton technique?’

It doesn’t fit well with common sense that a mage learns bongjutsu. However, the ancient magic of the Ice Barrier that I learned works with a somewhat unusual mechanism. The point is that the power of magic increases according to the amount of impact.

The harder you hit it with the staff, the faster it freezes and the amount of blizzards released. To be honest, as a physical mage, I wanted to learn at least some magic tricks. No, if you don’t learn stickmanship, dangerous things will happen in your future adventures.

‘I’m a wizard, but I have to engage in close combat to fight properly. When I meet an enemy stronger than me, I have to hit even one with my staff to win.’

After awakening as a rune mage, there was a big change in my fighting style. Up until now, if you were the type to keep in check at mid-range with water whips and magic waves, from now on, you had to engage in close combat to deliver the decisive blow.

Learning bongjutsu can be said to greatly increase my combat power.
It was time to become a true physical wizard.

“Hmmmm.”

I cleared my throat and spoke to Rebecca.

“Rebecca. Do you teach swordsmanship at the Swordsman Guild?”
“Bongsul? Are you sure you want to learn?”
“Yeah. Of course, the magic wand is a quarter staff, so I have to hit hard with it to make my magic stronger. It would be nice to learn bongsul.”

Rebecca pondered for a moment before answering my question.

“Some of the instructors who work as part-time instructors must have someone who teaches stickmanship. I’m learning swordsmanship from him right now. I don’t know anything about martial arts.
“Good. Let’s go together.”

I jumped out of bed at Rebecca’s words. It’s a swordsman’s guild, but it doesn’t seem to teach only swordsmanship. Thanks to this, there is no need to find a separate master to teach stickmanship.

Before getting dressed and leaving the room, I asked Rebecca who the instructor was. It would be nice if you knew the name.

“Who is the instructor who is said to be working as a part-time instructor? Please tell me his name.”
“You’ll find out when you go? Actually, you know me too! I’ve met you before.”

Then Rebecca shed a meaningful laugh and didn’t answer. She just shrugged her shoulders as if to guess who it was.

‘Someone I know?’

Hearing Rebecca’s words, I felt puzzled.
Was there anyone I knew who was knowledgeable in weapons technology? Most of them only remember silver tier adventurers and bronze trash, so I’m not sure who they are. You can find out by going to the guild anyway.

“Depart-!”

I left the inn with Rebecca and went to the Swordsman Guild.

*

After walking for about 30 minutes, Rebecca and I arrived at the Swordsman Guild. At the entrance of a large two-story building, there was a signboard with the words ‘Vorpal Sword’ written on it. From the inside, the loud shouts of the trainees could be heard outside.

“Hanaaaaa!”
“Duuuuu-!”

His voice was so loud that he didn’t know if he was raising a prosecutor or a rock singer.
Rebecca took my hand and led me into the building. Of course, he couldn’t just enter, he had to get permission from the guild clerk sitting at the counter.

“I’m here to take a tour of the swordsman’s guild. If you like it after looking around for a while, can I take a class?”
“Of course. Field trips are always welcome. But wait…”

The male clerk looked at me with a puzzled expression.
The clerk’s gaze was fixed on the wizard’s robe I was wearing.

“Aren’t you a wizard? You’re a wizard and you want to learn martial arts?”
“Isn’t it a very harsh world these days. Even a wizard should learn at least one martial art for self-defense. If an enemy attacks, don’t you just cast it and get hit? You should hit it with a staff at least.”
“Oh… That’s right. You can go into the training room.”

As for the reason for learning martial arts, he moderated it. It hurts to explain one by one that I learned ancient magic proportional to the amount of impact.

“This is the training ground! Luke.”

Rebecca took me there without having to get lost on the way to the training ground. The moment I entered the training center, I saw people training hard on the polished wooden floor.

Rebecca pointed a finger at one of the instructors teaching the trainees.

“Hey! That Barbarian grandpa is the instructor who teaches me swordsmanship. He’s a part-time instructor and he teaches the best among the instructors here. And he’s stronger than the guild master.”
“What kind of time instructor is that…”

What I see is an old barbarian with gray hair.

‘Where did you see this person?’

I immediately remembered who it was. It was a barbarian inspiration that was active in the giant subjugation quest that Rebecca and I had done a few months ago.
A human weapon that single-handedly held an ax and sliced ​​up the giants in the coastal cave.

“Ah, Old Nickel!”
“Do you remember all the names?”
“Of course I remember. I can’t forget. He taught me how to wield a whip, and he’s the monster who wiped out all the giants by himself.”

The giant subjugation quest would have been impossible without that barbarian grandpa. Above all, there is an unforgettable quote I heard from that person during the quest.

-Do you know why I became an adventurer at this age?
– Why?
– My wife said she ran out of the house because she was ripped off. So while she was looking for something to do, she became an adventurer. Enjoy life while you are young! Never marry!!

Never marry!

A barbarian who ran away from home after being ripped off by his wife.
That was the shocking identity of that nickel inspiration.

“That barbarian grandpa. I heard that you don’t see a barrel in the guild these days, so you were working as a master here?”
“The Prosecutor’s Guild ordered Old Man Nickel to do a quest. He must have asked me to come as a part-time instructor and teach him. The guild master here personally went to see him as an instructor.”
“Is it a part-time instructor quest?”

It’s a familiar face, so it’s good.
Without hesitation, I approached Old Nick and talked to him.

“Old Man Nickel. Long time no see.”
“Huh…? I’ve seen this face many times.”

Old Nickel was old, but he quickly remembered who I was.

“Ah, that’s the young wizard I met during the Subjugation Quest! Was his name Luke?”
“Right, that’s right. I’m still using the whipping I learned from the old man back then.”
“I’m glad you were helpful. So what did you come to the Swordsman Guild for?”

He did not have to exchange long greetings.
I immediately revealed my intention to learn baton technique to Old Man Nickel.

“I want to learn stickmanship. The magic wand I got is the quarterstaff. I want to learn how to hit it as hard as possible.”
“Ho-oh. You’re a wizard, so you’re trying to learn bongsul? You’re a greedy young man.”
“It’s not greedy, but you must learn bongsul. I’m not an ordinary wizard.”
“If you’re not ordinary, what kind of wizard are you?”

I answered Nickel’s curious questions.

“——I am a physical wizard.”
“Physics Wizard?!”
