Chapter 13 – Episode 13. Imsol
“Hello. My name is Han Jae-young, who is in charge of the mana research class of Class A.”
An old professor in a white suit, who looked as if he had only studied in a small room to anyone’s eyes, was standing in the podium.
That’s almost a skeleton. Are you from a necromancer?
“There’s no cadet who doesn’t know about Mana, right? You are proud Victoria Academy freshmen. We will proceed with the class based on the judgment that you have basic background knowledge.”
It is a word that does not consider me at all, who entered the school without background knowledge. If you are a teacher, you should look at all students with fair eyes, but it seems that you are not a true teacher.
“Let’s skip the concept of mana… Shall we talk about mana management?”
At the same time as he said that, mana began to accumulate in Professor Skeleton’s left arm.
“Mana management can be divided into two major categories. First, strengthening.”
Ung-ung-
The mana collected above a certain amount was tangible enough to be seen by others, and wrapped around the skeleton teacher’s left hand.
“Now, this is called mana typification. Formless mana is strengthened and condensed to create a form.”
Quaang!
As it was, Professor Skeleton stretched out his left hand toward the steel that was prepared next to the church, and the steel was lightly crushed.
‘Wow, that’s fucking strong.”
It is the skill of a professor at Korea’s largest awakened educational institution.
To the extent that it is not enough to go to active duty at any time. That’s Victoria Academy professor.
“The second is release. It can also be described as magic, but it’s slightly more comprehensive.”
After speaking, a sphere made of mana was created above the professor’s left hand.
“Right now, it looks like mana is simply compressed into the hand, but if you add several processes in this state, it will become magic.”
A small magic circle is drawn on the sphere of mana gathered in the hand, and it turns into electricity that seems to jump out at any moment.
Paper weave-
“This is a magic implementation using a magic circle. Simple magic usually omits the magic circle, but there are many large-scale or advanced magic that require a magic circle.”
The concept of the magic circle was also explained to me, but it was difficult, so I skipped it. Because it’s a story that has nothing to do with me anyway.
“Well, let’s say we’ve passed the basic course with this one, shall we go straight to the advanced course?”
This time, a mana orb is created on the professor’s hand. However, it contained much more compressed mana than the sphere I just made.
“Sometimes there are cadets who say things like, ‘Professor, I’m not even a wizard, so why do I have to take this class?’ Of course, you can think like that. But in fact, if you put mana on your sword, it’s called swordsmanship, and if you put mana on your fist, it’s called martial arts.”
As the professor continued to speak, he wrapped the compressed managu in his fist and made a fist.
“The way mana is processed determines whether it will be magic or simple enhancement. In the end, the basics are the same.
Mana disappeared from the professor’s hands, and mana waves began to form around the professor as if water drops were falling on the floor.
“This is not specifically called magic, but it is usually called ‘sensation’ in the field. It is simply a technique that adheres mana to the ground and spreads it around, but it is a very useful technique for a simple technique. Even hidden enemies can be found. This seemingly simple technique is actually…”
I tried to listen to the professor’s complicated explanation, but none of it came into my ears.
I don’t know why the mana formula and arithmetic are needed to spread mana.
“Now, after you try it, you will know where you are weak. After that, I will help you personally. Just try it once.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the teaching assistants who were waiting in the back began handing out strange-looking bracelets to the students.
“I guess this is the famous Victoria’s magic aid?”
“Magic aid?”
“Yeah, they say that mana management becomes much easier if you wear this. Instead, the destructive power is too weak to use in actual combat.”
Thanks to the explanation of Kim Young-han, who was sitting next to me, I was able to know the identity of the bracelet.
How many settings are there in the game that I don’t know about? Was it such a delicate game?
“At first, don’t wear the mana support and try using the sense. After that, if you put on the mana support and increase the mana, you will get a sense of where you are lacking.”
Apparently, the professor said it was the sensation of raising the mana in the body and spreading it in all directions.
Ugh-
Mana spreads around and you can feel the outlines of the cadets nearby.
‘Well, at this level, it’s worth doing.’
Since I was able to use magic, it would be normal if I used enough to detect it.
Looking around, the other students seemed to have lost their way yet.
Ung-ung-
Shuk. I met eyes with a certain girl.
Alice. She is a senior female student of French descent.
Among the students, Alice and I were the only students who used detection at one time.
Nam Da-eun, the chief of practical skills, grabs the end of one of her hair and spins it around as if she is not interested in the class.
As a result, Alice and I sensed each other’s mana waves.
“…”
“…”
I had nothing to say, so I looked at him with his eyes narrowed, as if he was dissatisfied with me, but I just averted my eyes.
What did I do wrong? If being handsome is a crime, it’s life imprisonment. What is that?
“Some students have achievements, but most of them are not able to properly navigate. Put on the mana support placed in front of the seat and practice again.”
“Oh, did something really lighten your magic power?”
“Okay?”
In the seat next to him, wearing a bracelet, Kim Young-han is curiously operating his mana.
I don’t think you need it, but since it’s given to you, let’s wear it. There must be some difference
When I put the bracelet on my arm, I felt something filling my body as it wrapped itself around my wrist.
“Oh, what a wonderful feeling.”
This time, she raised her mana from the tip of her hand.
It’s definitely more comfortable… It’s not. I think it’s rather heavy. Is it a bad product?
Increased the magic power. Strangely, I put on a brace, but it became more difficult.
“No, this looks bad… Geak!”
Suddenly, a moan erupted from the tremendous pain felt inside the body.
Courage!
She fell out of her chair in pain.
Still, she rolled on the floor, gripping her chest with her hands in unrelenting pain.
She felt the unpleasant taste of iron in her mouth, and her nose dripped blood and soaked the floor.
Coke Coke!
She covers her mouth and coughs, but her hands are covered in blood.
Fuck. What is this.
“Hey! Are you okay? Professor! An accident happened here…”
Next to her, Kim Young-han is shouting something, but her vision is shaking and she can’t hear it properly.
‘What kind of dog is this…’
She couldn’t come to her senses from the pain that came without any aura, but she knew the cause.
The mana in her body was shaking. The mana circuit was twisted, making it difficult to generate mana properly.
Besides, the pain grew more and more every time he tried to raise his mana.
He didn’t know the cause of the pain, but he intuitively knew that if he could get back the mana circuit somehow, the pain would also disappear.
Of course, great pain will follow in the process, but the mind gradually fades. If I go on like this, I might really die.
“Big…!”
I forcibly moved the motionless mana. Mana, which had apparently moved according to my will, somehow tried to escape my will.
It was as if a ball of mana bounced freely inside her body, hitting her from the inside.
“Oooh!”
She vomited up her gastric juices and blood, unable to bear the pain and feeling of her dizziness.
Lumps climbed up the neck and poured onto the floor. She vomited a few times until nothing came out like that, and it definitely eased up a bit.
[Clear mental strength] Is always helpful. Even when the pain of operating without anesthesia pushes her, it makes her stay sane.
Little tried to control her mana, putting up with the pain she was accustomed to.
It catches the mana that is trying to keep popping out somewhere and carefully puts the mana circuits and passages in the body back to their original positions. It required a high degree of concentration as it had to control all the fine circuits of the entire body.
In the course of that series of processes, she felt that her understanding of mana had deepened, and as a result, her recovery process was getting faster and faster.
“Whoop, whoop, write. Whoop.”
In the end, he succeeded in controlling all mana. Vitality began to circulate again in the body that seemed to die at any moment.
Write. The inside of the body is still shaking, but it hasn’t gotten any worse.
Even if it was a little late, life might have been jeopardized. Fortunately, his life seems to have been saved.
Now I have time to look around a bit.
All the students and professors were up and looking at me, and right in front of me were Younghan Kim and Professor Sol Im.
“You… How…”
Professor Im Sol, wrapped in a robe, is looking at me with his eyes wide open.
Surprised by how surprised it is, the pupils revealed under the hood are dilated, and the mouth that is wide open is not able to find the words to say.
Why is Professor Im Sol here?
Professor Im Sol is set to stay in her lab when she is not in class.
Anyway, my head still hurts.
I hope you get treatment soon.
“Uh… Uh…”
“Uh?”
“Uh… How did you do that!!!”
Professor Lim Sol mumbled alone, so she guessed it once, and suddenly she screamed.
“Kheuk!”
Then he grabbed me by the collar and started shaking me.
“How! How did you do it!”
“Hey, wait a minute. Please, hold on…”
“Professor Im Sol! Let go! Blood is coming out of the student’s mouth! Hey! Let go!”
Fortunately, the old professor next to me came to his senses and stopped Professor Im Sol, who was shaking my neck.
Cool. The blood that was pooling in the mouth pours out. My head gets dizzy again.
“Huh? Whoa! What is it! Blood?! Send me to the emergency room quickly! You’re a professor! What are you doing!”
“No, the medical team has already arrived, so let go of the child!”
“Oh, I see.”
Only then did Professor Im Sol let go of my collar.
‘Suddenly, why are you fucking fucking me, in the world…’
Sol Im.
A wizard with a natural talent for magic. She is a person who is recognized as an authority not only in Korea but also around the world.
Although he doesn’t have much contact with the main character, his screwed up personality and behavior combined with a cat-like face that radiates decadent beauty made him a very attractive character.
‘Now I see, she was just a crazy bitch.’
It was a character with a little taste, but in the game, that was the charm point, but in reality, there is no such thing as a crazy bitch.
Gying-
As expected from the game world, people who came to the medical staff are holding them to me, emitting light in their hands. It’s unbelievable that the pain is reduced just by being exposed to light, but that’s the reality.
Even now, the pain is decreasing in real time.
“Wow, that’s really interesting. Cool cool cool.”
“Hoyeon-ah, are you okay? You’re alive, right?”
“Yeah, thank you for your concern.”
Kim Young-han looks at her anxiously and speaks to her. Still, it’s nice to have friends like this.
“If the friend I made two days ago dies, I think her dream seat will cry wildly.”
“…”
As befits the high-level medical staff at the academy, the treatment ended quickly and they quickly packed up their belongings and began to withdraw.
“The damage to the magic circuit was severe, but treatment has been completed for all of them. There should be no problems with daily life.”
“Thank you.”
Instead of me, who is still lying down and breathing, the old professor conveys his thanks.
“The cause is probably that mana support… It might be something defective. I think it would be good to investigate.”
“Kuhm. Big…”
Before the medical staff finished speaking, there was a terribly awkward coughing sound, and when I looked there, Professor Im Sol was clearing his cough with a reddened face.
“Well, actually…”
