Chapter 402 – Chapter 402. American Dream (4)

Arthur stood in the front and spoke to me with a confident smile.

“No matter how gifted a wizard is, there are bound to be things that are missed.”
“Yes.”
“Your teacher, the genius wizard Imsol, also had a weakness. I’m good at that kind of thing.”
“Mister, don’t say anything strange and start sparring quickly.”
“Yes, yes. Got it.”
“Take good care of me.”

The Arthur in front of him did not hide his magical power, but revealed it.
The momentum itself was weaker than mine, but I had to admit the confidence and spirit that came out of the experience.

‘Even though there is such a difference in magic power, the momentum is not lost?’

There is something that cannot be measured by the size of a simple force.
Is this the current president of the wizarding society?

Gulp.

First of all, before exploration.
I drew a magic circle while swallowing saliva.

And after about 10 minutes.

“Quaaaaak…”
“Uncle Uncle!”
“…”

I looked at Arthur lying down in front of me and narrowed his eyes.
Professor Imsol, who was watching from the side, approached Arthur and checked his condition, and I looked at the two and thought.

‘This man is a bitch.’

I was too relaxed before the search, so I wanted to see the truth, so I cast a little strong magic, and I collapsed right away.
I don’t think I lost my strength, but I thought I was really weak.
Isn’t this man the president of the school? Why are you so weak

“Hoyeonah. If you feel the uncle’s magical power, you should adjust your power.”
“No, but I’m still the president of the society… Yep. I’m sorry.”

To be honest, I felt unfair, but when I saw Arthur lying down with a groan, I just apologized because I thought I was wrong.
There is also a note about Jang Yoo, but I should have been more considerate.

“Turn it off… It’s okay. It’s okay, Sol.”

Arthur stumbled over her body, picking up a dark red diamond lying around.
It was the first time I had seen that magic, and I thought there would be a huge number hidden until it came out.
I didn’t know that you couldn’t stop my spiral for even a second.

“Whoa. It’s really hard to move your body after a long time.”
“President. Are you okay? I’m sorry.”

I nodded my head.
I still don’t know what I did wrong, but for now, I’ll have to bow down for the atmosphere.

“No. It’s been a long time since I’ve been excited… Kkeuh. But I’m done figuring it out.”
“Oh… Was there a problem?”

I was disappointed with Arthur’s fighting ability, but I still have hope for his analytical skills.
Because the professor taught me.
I’m sure you’ll be able to point out the problem of fighting methods that I don’t know about.

“No. Too perfect.”
“… Yes?”

But what came out of Arthur’s mouth was the opposite of what I thought.

“Sol-yi had a high degree of purity of magic, but he felt sorry for the distribution of magic power. And he had a habit of unconsciously using high-level magic. It was probably because of his high pride.”
“Um… Yes.”
“But you are perfect. The distribution of magic power, the type of magic used, the speed of reaction, the quality of magic power, and all attribute users like Sol-yi… There is absolutely nothing lacking. It is safe to say that you are the protagonist who will lead the next generation.”
“…”

I quietly listened to what Arthur had to say.
Maybe it’s just a matter of course.

Because I am supported by [Combat Sense].
They make perfect choices in battle.

“In other words, what you need is time. Maybe you can catch up with Sol in 10 years.”
“Ten years?”
“You’re a monster, but your master is a monster too. It’ll probably take that much.”
“Huh…”

I let out a sigh of regret and licked my lips.
10 years is too late.

‘I didn’t come here to learn if it was like this.’

He collapsed after 10 minutes and is making strange noises.
It took 20 minutes just to walk here.
This is a very strange old man, isn’t it?

“You look dissatisfied with something?”

Watching Arthur stare at me, I managed my expression.
And he spoke again.

“I’m not complaining… I’m sorry. 10 years is too long.”
“I gave a lot of compliments in my own way. And since Sol is a strong magic, her beauty will still be the same even after 10 years. I guarantee that.”
“… That’s not the problem.”

I shook my head as I looked at Arthur laughing.
In 10 years, the story is already over.
I have to catch the demon king, but what do I do when I become so gradually stronger?

“It looks like you’re quite regretful.”
“A little bit like that.”

I said I was taking care of my facial expression, but it seems that my mood was revealed on my face without my knowledge.
But you can’t help it.
If you say you’re going to give us a great solution and then tell us to wait 10 years, of course you’ll lose heart.
Arthur looked at my face clearly and then continued.

“Hey, are you familiar with the theory of magic?
“Theory? I know quite a bit, though.”

No matter how you look at it, it is the number one theory at the Victoria Academy.
It is safe to say that he knows most of the magic theories.

“Unexpectedly, there are magicians who don’t value theory. Did you know that? Even if the same person puts the same magic power and draws the same magic circle, the effect of the magic differs from day to day.”
“Of course I know. He’s a wizard.”

What Arthur is talking about is a phenomenon that anyone who has ever used magic cannot be unaware of.

“Yes. It’s a phenomenon that all wizards are aware of, but no one has yet figured out the reason. Most people just think it’s the condition of the day.”

“…”

‘This is an explanation of the core technique.’

I sneakily met Professor Imsol’s eyes.
The topic we will be presenting this time is an explanation of that phenomenon.
Seeing the professor smiling softly, it seems that he didn’t tell the president.
The president of the school continued to speak earnestly, not knowing our thoughts.

“But, there is a sense. When you work as a wizard for a long time, whether you are in good or bad condition, you will find a type of magic that you can use well. And if you go further, you can create your own magic. Usually, It takes about 10 years to reach this level.”

Arthur summoned dark red diamonds orbiting his body.
It’s a magic I’ve just seen in Dalian.

“That’s called unique magic. Or arcane magic. In my case, this rune tracer is my unique magic. They track the opponent’s magic and attack on their own.”
“Unique magic… Similar to a unique skill.”
“Yes. However, unique skills cannot be used by others, but unique magic has the difference that you can share a magic circle with others. That’s why it’s easier to develop.”
“Why are you telling me that?”

Isn’t this man talking nonsense after losing for no reason?
When I looked slightly suspicious, Arthur immediately continued.

“If you really want to beat Sol Yi, create your own magic.”
“I just heard that you must be at least 10 years old.”
“It’s probably like that by the standard of an ordinary wizard. But monsters like you and Sol are different. In fact, Sol is also using his own magic.”
“You mean that big magic circle?”
“Yes. That’s what you saw.”
“Well….”

I continued to worry about Arthur’s words.
It requires unique magic, but….

‘Isn’t that enough already?’

Spiral. Blood Beat. Arc.
According to Nam Da-eun’s characteristics, she even has Han acceleration or rune’s barrier.
It’s not just one or two skills I created myself.

“Isn’t this wrong?”

Again-

I summoned an arc above my hand.
In Dalian, Arthur collapsed as soon as he took out the arc, so he couldn’t use it properly, but since he saw him using arc magic, he must have figured out what skill it was.

“That’s not bad either. No, actually, it’s amazing. It’s an encouraging achievement to have already created such a unique skill at the age of 20.”
“Thank you.”
“If your target wasn’t Sally, I wouldn’t have said anything. You could touch the perfect sprout and then go wrong. But from the moment you set your target as SOL, you need something special.”
“Something special?”
“Three things are important in a wizard’s battle. The power of magic and the speed of magic. And it’s a battle of numbers. Even if you use an arc to subdue a battle of numbers, there’s no way to lose in the power and speed of magic. That’s why another plan is needed. That’s it. Find a way to overcome Sol-yi’s overwhelming magical power. The fastest way among them is unique magic.”

“Five….”

I nodded in quite admiration.
I heard that there is nothing wrong with that.
Does this guy teach you well?

‘It doesn’t seem like he took the chairperson’s seat.’

Good at speaking
When you listen to it, it has a suction power that makes you feel like you’re going to be sucked in.

“The timing is also fine. It might be helpful to refer to the presentation at this conference. There are many unusual people in the conference. As far as I know, Douglas has developed a magic that has more power than a volcanic eruption… Aiden takes over the space and You said you would announce the magic that builds the realm of. And…”
“Wait a minute. Who is it?”

I didn’t miss the name I heard at the moment.
Aiden.
Apparently the name of the unlucky guy I met yesterday was Aiden.

“Huh? You mean Douglas. If it’s Douglas, I can introduce you. He has a bushy beard, but he’s nicer than he looks…”
“No. After that. Aiden is referring to Aiden, the next president candidate, right?”
“Do you know Aiden?”
“I met you yesterday. Can you explain the magic he brought?”
“Aiden’s magic? I don’t know exactly. I’ve only heard fragmentary information.”
“Even that’s fine. Um, where do we sit down and talk?”

We got out of the training ground and into a nearby cafe.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have opened a cafe from the beginning.

“Yum.”
“Professor, is this chocolate latte good?”
“Not bad. Moderately sweet.”

I sat next to Professor Im Sol drinking a chocolate latte, and Arthur, who followed me, sat across from me.
Arthur asked, sucking on the coffee he had brought.

“Why are you curious about Aiden? If we had met yesterday, there wouldn’t be much curiosity.”
“… Something doesn’t feel right. What is your relationship with Aiden, the president?”
“He’s a candidate for the next president of the academic society. There’s still quite a bit of time left until my retirement, but if I quit, it’s almost certain that I’ll be elected as the next president.”
“He didn’t seem like a good enough guy to be president?”
“That’s right. He’s also quite on the high side… But he’s not good enough for the position of president of the society. But that’s how politics is originally. I didn’t know politics until I was this age.”

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
It’s funny that the person who became the president of the society said that.

“If it’s not rude, can I ask about the relationship between the president and Aiden?”
“If I had to say it, he’d be static. He’s not meritocracy, it’s networking. The mages who support each other are different.”
“It’s quiet…”

I organized my thoughts.
In fact, I had thoughts about Professor Sol Im from a long time ago.

Professor Imsol is a really strong wizard.
He became stronger after meeting me, but even before that, he was one of the strongest players in the world.
This is an undeniable fact.

However, having experienced the original game, I questioned Professor Im Sol’s strength every time I saw it.

‘How the hell did such a strong person die?’

In the bad ending of the original, there is a route where Im Sol dies.
If it’s an ending that can’t stop the demon king, it’s understandable.
Because the world itself will perish.

However, there was also a route to die before the demon king even appeared.
At that time, without thinking, ‘I see.’ I did, but now that I think about it, it’s kind of weird.
That’s why I pay close attention to Aiden I met in America.

Considering the time when he showed his true intentions, it should be said that he has no crush on Professor Im Sol.
Then, why is the next president of the society approaching Im Sol?

‘It’s not the professor’s magic.’

At first I thought it was magic, but when I think about it, it’s strange.
In the academic society, there are many people who check Professor Im Sol’s strength. Especially the network wizards who support Aiden.
If Aiden becomes the president, he should go toward excluding the professor rather than accepting it.
That’s the mindset of networking wizards.

In particular, from Aiden’s point of view, Im Sol must be a thorn in the eye.
Because she is a strong supporter of the static Arthur, and she is a wizard stronger than himself.

‘For now, until here.’

There was not enough information about Aiden to reason further.
I quietly looked at Professor Imsol next to me.
The professor gave a small yawn as if he wasn’t interested in what Arthur was saying, then turned his head away when our eyes met.

“…I was listening to everything.”
“Yes. I know.”

I smiled involuntarily at the professor’s reaction.
But the uneasiness in the corner of my heart did not go away.
I must protect you this time.
You can’t just be taken care of forever.

‘Let’s just think about the possibility of that bastard.’

There is a heart symptom, but no physical evidence.
Still, it should be enough to put it in a corner of your head.
I cleared my expression and looked at Arthur.

“First, please explain the magic Aiden has decided to announce.”
