Chapter 115 – Venture’s Lightning Mage (1)

I sat down in front of the table and focused my consciousness on Danjeon. The energy gathered in a circle wriggled. She pulled the energy thin as a thread and sent it into her veins.

The aura that reached her right arm stopped moving and settled in her muscles.

I reached out my right hand for the dagger lying on the floor. I imagined an image of extracting mana and grabbing her dagger.

However, as if betraying my expectations, she remained motionless, with Mana clinging to her right arm.

She sighed and lowered her outstretched hand.

‘It’s not going well…’

Two days ago, I cleared a quest and bought a skill using accumulated karma.

The purchased skill is Manryu Demon King.

Sichuan Tangmun is the best method of memorization. Due to the size of the dagger, it was a necessary skill for me, who was burdened with throwing due to the small number of possessions.

It was good up to there. The problem arose after purchase.

‘I know the theory, but I can’t use it.’

Manryu Gwijong is a technique to retrieve memorization by using inner energy, or mana, in Danjeon.

However, I was barely able to put mana into my arms. Thanks to that, despite constant practice, the results did not show up well.

‘There are many things to do other than this…’

Right now, there were many problems with the Saryeondo Law alone.

There is a slight disconnect when one movement ends and the next movement continues. It is a gap created by thinking with the head rather than moving with the body.

‘I don’t think it’s a matter of the amount of practice.’

Is it an experience issue?

No, I’ve gained a lot of experience while commissioning so far.

Then what is the problem?

It was as if something was blocking the way.

Something, something, I think it would be clear if there was just one thing…

It was time to tap the table with my fingers and lose myself in thought.

“Today, that, the delay type? Do you practice that?”

Seris approached and sat across from me. She puts her elbows on the table and holds out her palms.

“…Also?”

“Aren’t you putting mana into her right arm? I’m going to do it once after putting in the seaweed.”

Seris smiled and said.

It is an attitude that is secretly confident of victory. Slightly embarrassed, I held her hand.

“Are you making a wish again?”

“Yes. No big ones, small ones.”

“Good. Then let’s begin. One, two, three!”

As soon as she started, she put strength into her arms. Thick tendons protruded from her wrists, and her muscles swelled.

“I’m sorry…!”

“Kuh…”

The two trembling hands balanced in the center. The story is that me and her arm wrestling are fighting on the same level.

It would have been absolutely impossible if I was in a normal state. The difference between Seris and me in the status window was about twice as strong. Even though the words “Double the number” Actually differ by more than several times.

Even so, the reason I’m not pushed back now is entirely thanks to Mana. Because mana penetrated her right arm and strengthened her muscles.

Thanks to that, all the arm wrestling I’ve done so far has been equal.

‘Although I’ve never won.’

It’s because of lack of mana retention, and always running out of strength before the arm wrestling is over.

But today will be different.

It’s because I vomited practice and my mana retention increased a lot. If you keep her whistle like this, she will collapse from exhaustion first.

“Profit..!”

And that was my mistake.

With her strange groans, my arms slowly began to slide away. It wasn’t long before the back of his hand fell on the table.

I looked at the self-congratulating Seris with devastated eyes.

“Are you sure you got stronger?”

Obviously, it didn’t go this far the last time. I haven’t neglected to practice, so it’s not like I’m weak.

If so, the only conclusion can be drawn is that Seris has become stronger.

It was absurd.

‘Is there anything more to be done there?’

She looked at her in disbelief, and Celis covered her mouth and laughed.

“Mr. Yooseong, you know what? Her arm wrestling isn’t just about arm strength. Most importantly…”

She patted her belly with her right hand.

“It’s your stomach!”

“…What?”

You haven’t been using your belly button until now?

Did I fight with a kid like that? Suddenly, her embarrassment rose sharply. He ran his palm across her face and then looked down at her waist.

Caught between her convex chest and silence followed, her waist is tucked in without any flab.

Where the hell does that power come from in that slim waist?

I didn’t understand at all. Feeling dejected, I fell face down on the table. As I was putting my cheeks on the table, I saw an elf sitting on the bed.

He is giggling at me as if he is accusing me.

Is that Kampnyeon?

She opened her mouth to the reproach of her heart.

“Ariel, Bridge.”

Ariel’s expression hardened.

“What are you doing. No bridge? Shall I write a command? Roll forward, roll back, do a hundred?”

She was threatened with an ‘order’ that could be written once a day.

The effect was amazing.

Ariel lays on her floor and assumes her bridge position, even as she glares at me with her rotten expression. She was on her back and lifted her hips and waist with her arms around her waist.

As her torso tilted, Ariel’s huge breasts sagged and covered her face. Her one-piece rides down her slope, exposing her white thighs breathtakingly.

If you go further down there, you will see the plain panties you saw in the capital city.

I frowned.

‘Should I buy him a dress?’

Not worth the money

She put on Ariel’s clothing and she seriously considered it. Then Ceris put her ass on top of my thigh and turned her around by grabbing my head.

He looks at me with a dissatisfied expression.

“Why are you looking at another woman’s breasts over her lover’s breasts? I can’t. I need to make Yooseong look only at me. I’ll grant you the wish you won earlier with an hour of kissing.”

“Also? Aren’t you tired?”

“No. It’s always new.”

Seris kissed her on the lips with her foxy grin. She responds briefly and when he removes it, he pouts and glares at her mouth.

He inadvertently burst out laughing and laughing.

“Anyway, I am very jealous. What did Netorase do about that?”

“I really like Yoosung, and I’m even more excited because I’m jealous.”

“…I don’t want to know that.”

“I also wish that Yoosung would never know about this for the rest of his life. Yoosung is enough for me.”

She kissed her again with a bright smile, different from her earlier. She put her arms around my neck so she couldn’t get it off this time.

I continued kissing and rolled my eyes.

Ariel, trembling against her strength, looked this way, moving her breasts to the side that were blocking her view.

* * *

The next afternoon, I found the adventure party.

After much thought, she decided to join Orca’s clique.

‘Certainly, it’s best to go face-to-face with the wizard.’

The other silver grades, at best, taught them swordsmanship or pushed them from the guild. On the other hand, wizards are knowledgeable. Even if it’s not necessarily related to magic, you can get help.

Enter the adventure party building. I found a woman who had been recruiting me.

‘Her name must have been… Marid, right?’

She is a woman with bobbed purple hair and wearing leather armor that cuts through her chest. I wandered around her building looking for her.

‘Found.’

Marid was talking to someone at the end of her hallway.

She approached her and bowed her head.

“Mr. Marid, how are you?”

“Huh? You…”

“This is Han Yoo-seong, who joined the adventure party a while ago. I saw you once at the guild…”

Marid narrowed her brows as if she couldn’t remember right away. She opened her eyes wide as if she had just remembered.

“Oh, a month ago?”

I nodded. Mary’s expression softened. The way you look at me is cold.

“But what’s going on here?”

“I came to answer the story you told me the other day. Although it was a little late.”

“Huh? Are you sure you haven’t been to any party yet?”

“Yes. So, I want to join Orca-sama’s party. Are there still seats available?”

Marid’s cold expression relaxed and a bright smile took over. I think the cold attitude I showed earlier was because I thought I was a different faction.

“Well, of course not. Yuseong Han, welcome to Orca’s party, ‘Lunatic High’! Then, as a newcomer to our party, I will introduce you to the other party members. First of all, this guy is Jade. He’s a senior who came in two years earlier than you.”

“It’s Jade.”

“This is Han Yuseong.”

I shook hands with the skinny man.

“Follow me, I’ll introduce you to the other colleagues.”

After that, I followed Marid and greeted the five adventurers. Naturally, all five were adventurers of the same rank.

“There is no iron grade?”

I muttered.

Marid looked at me with an expression asking what she was talking about.

“Why is the iron grade story coming out all of a sudden?”

“Because I’ve heard that an adventure team manages adventurers before.”

When I first came to the adventurer’s guild, Orga boasted that there was an adventurer’s group in this guild.

Marid smiled.

“Oh, that? That’s just a propaganda comment. Words intended to increase the credibility of the client.”

“So you’re lying?”

“No, it’s not even a lie. That, why, you have other party members in the guild besides us, don’t you? So do i. As well as the other kids. If we work with them, yell at them for anything wrong, report it to the Weird Guys Guild, that’s like managing it. Is not it?”

Is it?

“It’s a bit too comprehensive.”

“What, how are you? It’s not important right now.”

Marid shrugged her shoulders.

“Okay, then I’ve finished stamping her face, now I need to explain Lunatic-Hai.”

Marid crossed her arms as if she had been waiting for this moment. She cut her off because she was sorry but had something to say.

“You said you took all the face prints. Is there anyone you haven’t met yet?”

“Huh? Was there anyone I didn’t introduce you to?”

Marid folded her fingers, calling her party mates by name.

“It’s not? I think I introduced everyone…”

“You have the most important person. Orca-sama.”

“Huh? Ah…”

Marid made her drool as if she had forgotten. Then, he shook her right hand vigorously.

“Orca-sama is very busy. So it will be difficult to meet right now.”

“Is that so? Well, since you’re the only mage in Kalita, you must be busy. Then when can we meet?”

“Uh… What if Orca-sama finishes her job? I’ll be able to meet you once when the time comes. Now, let’s stop talking about it, and now I’ll explain about Lunatic-Hai’s regular meeting.”

After that, Marid explained the content that he was not even curious about.

* * *

In conclusion, Marid is a bitch.

Everything she said to her when she recruited her was untrue.

The black lies she invented to get me hooked.

‘It’s a bummer to get magical advice.’

A week has passed since I joined ‘Lunatic High’. In the meantime, Orca was so busy that he didn’t come out of the office.

Let me impatiently try to find it myself,

-Mr. Orca hates interruptions when she is concentrating. If you need anything, tell me. Because I will tell you.

Marid stopped me.

Thanks to that, I couldn’t even see Orca’s face, let alone the back of her head.

One meeting on such a topic is dirty.

On the day I came in, we had a welcome party for new recruits. We had a regular meeting once a week, and other various anniversaries were held.

If the meeting is fun, I won’t talk. Just getting together takes your breath away. Everyone was looking out for their seniors.

Especially in the case of Marid, since she was an aide to Orca, her senior, who was older than her, also paid attention to her.

And, of course, Orca didn’t attend all of those meetings.

‘I heard that a fox reigns in a place where there is no tiger…’

It’s just like that.

‘What now…’

At this rate, my plan to become friends with Orca and make connections with her wizards will go awry.

If the plan goes awry, I’ll have to get entangled in their politics until I reach the Silver rank. Because it’s virtually impossible to move factions.

Just imagining it is terrifying.

I thought hard about how to get closer to the orca.

‘To get close, we have to learn face to face by seeing each other often…’

How to get close to a workaholic boss by avoiding a political senior…

No matter how much I thought about it, all I could think of was overtime.

Fuck.
