Chapter 4 – Episode 4. Perks

『Quest complete!』

As a quest reward, your magic ability has gone up by 1.

I also gained ability points, and having a face-to-face relationship with Moon Su-rin was a very big gain.

Of course, it’s not a game, and you won’t immediately fall in love with it if you see its face once, but it will help you later.

After that, I traveled around to familiarize myself with the surrounding geography.

In particular, I wandered around the back alleys where people seemed to be rare. Since you have to cross your legs, you never know when you might run away.

Since there are many large buildings, there was quite a lot of space for people to pass between the buildings.

It’s not scary during the day, but walking around at night seems pretty spooky.

After roughly memorizing the geography of the alleys, I returned to the dormitory.

I sat down at my desk and took out a notebook and pen from my bag.

“I think I need to find out what a privilege is.”

Perks are the only key to solving the situation.

In fact, I still don’t know why I was given the privilege. I don’t know exactly whether he is a bettor or not.

Well, it doesn’t make sense to start possessing yagame, but it’s just about getting some perks. What’s strange about it?

Now that I’ve thought of it, let’s clarify the specials.

First [Mana Sensing].

——–「 Mana response」——
▶ Privileges

▶The ability to feel and understand mana
—————————
As I recalled the mana response with the feeling of opening the status window, a skill window appeared in front of me like a game.

In this worldview, talented people can see their talents or skills objectively. To put it simply, there is a status window, so you don’t have to take it out with words.

Just remember what you need and it will appear in front of you on its own.

Anyway, [Mana Induction]. If I had to explain it, it’s the ability to feel mana, but I don’t know yet.

The ability to feel and understand mana?

What is this? Could you please write in detail?

Shall I read the textbook? Originally, studies should be based on textbooks.

[Introduction to Mana Science]

I pulled out an introductory mana science textbook that was notorious for being difficult.

—————————

1- Everything about mana.

Mana is an intangible ‘qi’. It is possessed by all living beings and is an important element constituting the world.

………

The way to awaken mana is different for each person, and the attributes and characteristics of the mana they have are also different.

………

Currently, the most popular mana management method is to control mana with the sense of moving the blood in the body.

………

————————–

Is this the end?

After that, I wrote a strange thesis, but it doesn’t seem to be helpful.

‘The feeling of moving blood?’

Write. I imagined moving blood from the heart to the tip of the arm.

But nothing happened!

“Yeah, it’s strange to suddenly feel something… Huh?”

Something existed. In my body, and in this room, and in this world.

It continued to exist. I just realized its existence now.

As soon as I realized that mana exists with just one sentence, my awakening began.

Senses that I hadn’t felt before.

The feeling of having the whole world. This joy, pleasure, ecstasy, floating feeling, and ecstasy.

Numerous emotions of joy rushed in like a tidal wave. But something in my center held me firmly. Thanks to that, I was able to keep my spirits up.

The act of awakening mana. Intoxicated with that ecstasy, I savored the moment and soon came to my senses.

“Ha…”

In terms of time, has one minute passed? But it seemed like he had become a completely different person than before.

I picked up a book called [Practical Basic Magic] From the bookshelf where I took out the textbook earlier, and opened the very first page.

Even though it was the most basic magic, six lines overlapped here and there to form a fairly complex magic statement ceremony.

Fire-!

A flame burned above his hand.

“Wow, sir. That’s crazy.”

Magic is originally a realm of pure talent.

Basic magic circles are introduced in the textbook [Basic Magic of Existence], But in order to function properly as a person with active abilities, you need to devise your own magic system.

This is because each person has different forms and attributes of effective magic.

If not, you need to learn the systematized common magic circle.

Most of these courses are usually learned at the academy.

But I skipped these steps.

When I put my hands together and thought of the concept of flame, a sphere of flame burned above my hand once again.

Fire-!

Even though this phenomenon occurred, it was not at all surprising.

Gap or disharmony with reality? It didn’t feel like that.

Mana has already become a natural phenomenon for me.

Rather, I wondered why I hadn’t been able to until now.

“This is Mana Sensing…”

To do easily what could never be done. It was literally a privilege.

Next is [Distinct Mental Power]. I really don’t know about this.

―――――「Distinct mental strength」―――――

▶ Privileges

▶Under any circumstances, keep your spirit firmly at the center.

―――――――――――――――――――

It’s strange to think about it now that I didn’t panic even though I suddenly possessed the game.

It seems that the ability to grasp the situation and try to do anything is because of the clear mental power… Maybe this privilege was what I felt when I awakened mana earlier.

But, it might just be that I’m so damn good, so I can’t be sure yet.

Still, it is embedded as a perk like [Mana Sensing], So it will be useful someday.

Lastly, [Memory supplementation ability].

―――――――「Memory Complementary Ability」―――――――

▶ Privileges

▶ It supplements the user’s memory.

――――――――――――――――――――――

First of all, the most infuriating thing is that the notification that came out when I received this was ‘80% compulsion’.

I looked back at my memory and wondered why it was 80% and not 100% forced.

In KakaoTalk, to the god damn God’s question, ‘Let’s bet?’

Fuck… A world full of absurdities after all.

But the perk itself is good.

It’s not that your memory improves, it becomes almost perfect.

I remember every single word, expression, and even her magic wavelength during the conversation I had with Moon Su-rin.

If you put your mind to it, you will be able to draw not only the structure of the cafe we ​​had a conversation with, but even the floor tiles.

It’s an ability that seems to help a lot.

I was worried about how to keep up with the academy classes, but with this one, I have no worries.

The specials have been sorted out.

I have to go to the academy right away from tomorrow, but honestly, I’m worried a lot.

Victoria Academy is a place that trains talented people.

It is an academy that is recognized as one of the best in Korea as well as in the world.

I have to go to such a place right away tomorrow, but the question is whether I can adapt to the academy as I have never hit anyone, let alone combat experience.

“Should I go to the training camp too?”

The time is 10:00 at night. It’s time to prepare well to start tomorrow’s first class in good condition, but the thought of going to the training center is getting bigger and bigger.

“I have to go, it is right to go.”

It’s a life that I’ve been cramming to the extent that I stayed up all night before taking the SAT.

We headed to the training center full of state-of-the-art training equipment. Victoria Academy has made the training center needlessly glamorous.

The training center is a facility that allows various types of training, such as the physical training room and the mana training room, to be conducted in one building.

Place your smart watch at the entrance of the center.

[1st grade Lee Ho-yeon. Entry confirmed.]

I passed through the lobby on the first floor and headed for the elevator inside.

There were almost no people in the mana training room on the 3rd floor, which was reached by elevator. Well, there will be very few people who come to train at 10:00 the night after the entrance ceremony.

Shouldn’t we be surprised that there is even a little bit of it?

I went into a private room where I could do personal training.

There is nothing special in the private room. It was an empty space surrounded by walls made of special materials. With space magic applied, space can be used efficiently.

When I pressed the button next to the entrance, I heard a mechanical sound along with a hologram.

[Mana training system activated. Please tell me which settings you want]

“Scarecrow for training. Strength is maximum. Distance is 10m.”

When the voice was recognized, the hologram disappeared and a scarecrow appeared 10m ahead.

“Hmm.”

Shhh-

As mana gathers in the hand, it creates a shape of fire. In fact, I don’t have any deep insight into the concept of mana. All I ever did was use magic while looking at the monitor and pressing the keyboard.

But he was still able to use magic. It must be thanks to the [Mana Sensing] Perk.

A talent that makes it possible to move mana and use magic without any knowledge of magic. That was [Mana Sensing], And I could see how great it was.

Besides, the calculation and term before using magic is a chronic problem for wizards. But I didn’t have to care.

Shhhhh!

Just think about it and you’re done. Then, in response to my will, the magic took shape and appeared in reality.

Of course, the amount of magic that can be used is very limited due to the limit of my magic power, but I realize how absurd this talent is.

“Kuk.”

After concentrating mana on the fireball above my hand for about a minute, I got an intuition that I was at my limit.

He raised his mana-gathering hand, aimed his magic at the scarecrow for training, and fired a fireball.

Kwakwawang!

“Keukheop… Whoa…”

Even from the outside, it doesn’t look like a scarecrow. Scorched, burned, both arms were missing.

[Damage: 22%]

22% damage? Originally, the main character had to roll for about a year to smash the training scarecrow with one blow.

“Shall we try one more time?”

The sensation of squeezing mana from the whole body was unexpectedly not bad.

It sounded fun to use magic, and any sport is fun if you do well.

I collected mana in my hands again. This time, I imagined the shape of the window.

If you sing, ‘Fire Spear!’ It’s magic that you can shout.

The fire spear gradually took on its proper form.

“Okay, as it is…”

Stumble.

Suddenly, his legs lost strength and he fell to his knees.

“Oh no, why…”

Even if I tried to get up with strength, my body wouldn’t have the strength to go into it.

Gradually, the vision in front of my eyes became far away, and a severe headache came.

Dump.

And my memory was cut off there.
