Chapter 472 – Assignment Inspection (4)

Magmarello, a monstrous spirit made up of huge chunks of lava.

And while watching Seongcheol’s junior fight against the A-class monster Magmarello, Hwayoung Choi quietly waited for her turn to step out.

‘Seongcheol junior’s growth is fast, but… Still, this assignment must be difficult.’

It wasn’t a task given to me because I thought I could definitely do it.

Rather, it was undoubtedly a struggle. For him, who is still only a B-rank hunter, to kill 20 A-rank monsters was an absurd request.

Of course, he would have to put restrictions on himself so that he could only deal with a maximum of two at a time, but dealing with two at the same time was impossible for an ordinary B-class hunter.

Of course, the junior Seongcheol in front of him was, of course, a person who was far from an ordinary B-class hunter.

‘Growing too fast. He needs at least this level of stimulation.’

Entering the depths of the dungeon and making the most of your own fire magic with extreme restrictions.

Choi Hwa-young had no doubt that in such an environment, the use of awakening abilities would increase.

Because she, too, had been able to rise to the position of an S-class hunter after going through such extreme experiences several times.

‘I didn’t have a teacher at the time. Compared to that, he’s much more blessed.’

Compared to her past when she grew up, Choi Hwa-yeong had strange expectations for her current junior Seong-cheol.

Looking at his skills and growth rate, I had my own belief that he would be able to withstand this level of difficulty.

After successfully completing this task, he would probably be able to achieve as much explosive growth as he did in the past.

In fact, I said to catch 20 of them, but I thought it would pass if I caught 10 or so based on the standard I set in my heart.

After that, it was just to find out how far Seongcheol’s hoobae’s limits were.

‘If you can’t catch ten fish and struggle… That’s because he didn’t work hard.’

Of course, it was already known from him that Seongcheol juniors fight in parallel with fire magic and other techniques when fighting in real battles.

In fact, even in battle, he probably fights using his main weapon, the sword, rather than fire magic.

Rather, fire magic was more of a secondary skill to use in an emergency, separate from his swordsmanship.

However, that could not be an excuse for neglecting the work he had given him.

If he asked for lessons while taking the S-class hunter’s busy time, he had to show the growth that matched him.

Of course, if you feel the limit in a task like this and your mind breaks once… At that time, I would have to adjust the content of the class a little.

“…”

In fact, Choi Hwa-yeong secretly and in her heart also hoped that Seong-cheol’s junior would be frustrated at least once.

Great growth to overcome a slump by overcoming a setback and getting back up again… It wasn’t a constructive reason to want the same thing.

It was a little bigger that she just wanted to show the image of a wonderful female senior who opened the way for junior Seong-cheol who was frustrated in a crisis.

He gets cocky sometimes, but he still wants to show a cool side of himself to Seongcheol, a junior who follows him well in class.

As a bonus, if you show that kind of side, you might be able to somehow make up for the unsightly thing you showed me today.

Of course, as a teacher of flame magic, he had to have the greatest desire for Seongcheol to grow up, but the relationship with him was something deeper than simply the relationship between a teacher and a student.

With all of her complicated feelings in her heart, Choi Hwa-young watched Seong-cheol’s junior’s battle.

Of the two monsters approaching from both sides, he approached Magmarello on the right first.

“Haaaaap!”

As soon as he approaches with a shout of cheer, Seongcheol’s junior strikes Magmarello’s body with a flame whip made in his right hand.

As soon as the magic from his hand touched the monster’s body, it exploded with a big explosion.

Magmarello also suffered considerable damage from the explosion, dropping part of his body.

‘Is the power roughly 5 circles? . Not bad for something I made myself.’

Once the improved version of the flame whip passed. And it was also great that the original concept was maintained and only the power was raised.

Judging from the fact that he wielded magic with his physical ability to make up for the number of concepts he was lacking in, it was also magic that belonged to Seongcheol’s juniors.

It’s probably the same if you say that among ordinary wizards, there are very few people who can wield that length of flame at that speed.

Right now, even he could imitate that magic, but it was hard to imagine that he would be able to produce the same power.

‘Goooh…’

-Rush…

In the meantime, a Magmarello collapses after being hit by several flame whips.

Choi Hwa-young, who confirmed that appearance, immediately raised the third monster from sleep without much hesitation.

-Rumble…

‘Goooooh… !’

“… !”

As soon as he caught one, Seongcheol’s juniors’ eyes instantly hardened as they checked the next monster.

Immediately, a slightly resentful gaze returned to him, but he couldn’t help it.

Originally, magic training was meant to grow even more in an environment where you had to constantly push yourself to the limit and use magic without rest.

“I said two at a time! Don’t lose your mind in the middle and fight endlessly!”

“… Yes!!”

She said that the reason she created such a harsh environment was for the growth of Seong-cheol’s juniors.

Besides, considering Seongcheol’s junior’s skills, it wasn’t that dangerous.

Above all, they were fully prepared to intervene at any time in a really dangerous situation.

‘Someday you will have to go through a crisis. If possible, I’d like to experience it while I’m watching…’

Choi Hwa-young is excited about her desire to show her own cool side rather than the growth of her pupil.

Kim Seong-cheol, who was completely unaware of her inner thoughts, swung his flame whip at the monster approaching him again.

With the trumped-up means left for emergencies still left in the pocket of the subspace.

About an hour after I entered the dungeon with senior Hwayoung and started her magic training.

‘Fall…’

-Rumble…

One magmarello, who may have been there for a few days, collapsed in front of my eyes again as a lump of lava.

How many did you catch… ? I think I got at least double digits.

Since it was a Class A monster, it was a very arduous process to catch each one, so I couldn’t afford to count how many I caught.

My body was already in a state of considerable exhaustion from the endless battles where even a moment’s rest was not allowed.

-Rumble…

‘Goooh…’

… Is it not over yet

After waking up from senior Hwayoung’s fireball, I let out a small sigh in my heart as I looked at Magmarello.

The magical awakening ability consumes more mental power than expected.

Calculating magic, especially in the midst of a fierce battle, was an act of using a lot of concentration.

Besides, I wasn’t fighting by simply creating flame magic.

“Aaaaa!”

– Chow!

The flame whip, which he swung with all his might, hit Magmarello’s body and caused an explosion with considerable shock.

The fact that I was able to exert this level of power with the halfway magic flame whip was also supported by my physical abilities to some extent.

The concept of holding and wielding magic was a very tricky way for a normal wizard to think and use.

I was able to use it in this way because it was accompanied by my physical ability, which is basically a melee fighter.

If an ordinary A-class fire mage had dealt with Magmarello only with this flame whip, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion in front of five or six.

Since he defeated at least twice that amount, he must have been evaluated at least for the perfection of the flame whip.

The problem is… It was that he had almost reached the limit of holding out with only the flame whip.

Even though I still have to catch five or six more, my stamina and magical power are already at a very close level.

First of all, the flame whip magic couldn’t exert great power when dealing with Magmarello, so even if it wasn’t possible, it had to be swung more than three or four times to catch one.

If you wield the 5th circle magic like that, it’s a natural phenomenon that your mana will quickly drop.

And this swinging motion itself was a fairly arduous, repetitive exercise. Unfortunately, I don’t have the awakening ability related to the ‘whip’.

When you wield a sword, you can wield it much more easily than other weapons because you have a skill called ‘swordsmanship’.

Above all, the various skills that can be used each time you swing the sword consume less energy to wield, so it is less physically demanding.

On the other hand, there was no related skill to use the flame whip, so I felt a burden on my stamina and strength.

In the end, at this point, I had to use the flame sword, an improved version of the explosive fist.

‘I was afraid I’d hear something, so I tried not to use it as much as possible.’

When dealing with these guys, the efficiency itself will be much easier than the flame whip.

Even if the blade of the Mithril Greatsword was wrapped in flame magic, it would basically be closer to swordsmanship than flame magic.

Swordsmanship is also my main skill, and in many ways, I was able to fight much more efficiently than the flame whip.

… The question was whether or not Hwayoung senior recognized this flame sword as an improved version of Explosive Fist.

Well, if I hear one, I’ll decide to listen to it later, and first of all, I’ll have to solve the Magmarello subjugation task that’s right in front of my eyes.

Taking out the mithril greatsword from the subspace pocket, I swung the sword with flames soaring at the newly awakened Magmarello.

Still, I’ve been making it with Cha Yu-ri’s help, but it’s too bad to finish it without showing it to Hwa-young.

“Haaaaahahahahah!!”

It’s the beginning of phase 2, you bastards.
