Chapter 173 – Global Academy 2nd Semester (5)
The contraceptive magic circle I learned last time was a magic circle I found by searching on the Internet.
Similar to that, I searched for more simple magic circles and was able to find many.
Most magic circles can be used permanently using magic stones as fuel, but the one I use is a magic circle that can be used briefly using my mana.
Like a contraceptive magic circle, it is maintained using the other person’s mana and then disappears, but only for a short time.
Fortunately, among the necessities of life, I was able to overcome fire.
I think it would be a waste to start a fire with a smoke flame, but it was possible anyway.
So is it water? When I searched for a magic circle that creates water on the Internet, several types came up.
There were many examples of adjusting the speed of making water, but I was looking for a suitable one since I was planning to copy it using Shadow Craft anyway, but I felt that the example picture was strange.
“Was it used outside of Utopia? Was it used inside the dungeon?”
One photo gave an example of how to obtain drinking water through a magic circle that creates water in the mountains.
On the artificial island of Utopia, there was only one mountain that was extremely large.
I know that some plants that only grow on the mountain are grown on the large mountain behind the Global Academy, but I don’t think the photo was taken there.
If it were used outside of Utopia, it could be considered illegal, but I thought it seemed like they were not afraid to post it on the internet.
If you use mana like that outside, Utopia’s supervisors will immediately bring you here.
‘What. Since a guy who is interested in magic would have done it, does he actually benefit?’
I chose a magic circle that could fill a small bowl in an instant, copied it using Shadow Craft, and went into the dormitory bathroom to use it.
When negative mana was injected, a magic circle was created in the bathtub and the water bubbled up and then disappeared.
If this is enough, you won’t have to struggle to find a river or pond.
There are large rivers flowing here and there, but it is a bit difficult to drink water from there.
Perhaps because of the quality of the water, everyone boiled tea and drank it.
‘I don’t think it matters because of homeostasis, but I’m not the only one who drinks water.’
But if you think about it, if you learn the walking method, you can easily find water.
Is there anything else more magical? I looked for the spatial movement that felt most magical, but found that it was impossible because I had to calculate the coordinates myself.
And because it was dangerous, the magic circle for space movement was not disclosed.
And the next thing I looked for was a healing magic circle.
It’s okay to recover fatigue and stamina through internal energy, but I learned it because I thought it would be necessary when treating physical wounds.
It has the effect of healing wounds on the body in about 3 days and has the effect of erasing scars.
It seems like it might be useful, right? What I can use now are the birth control magic circle, water creation magic circle, and healing magic circle.
Rather than learning it with my head, I learned it with the feeling of saving it in Shadow Craft.
【Skill: Shadow Mastery (D)】
【One. Shadow Craft: Materializes shadows. Can remember (5/5) complex shapes. 】
I checked Shadow Craft just in case, and the skill changed like this.
Wait, five? There are a total of six magic circles that I need to remember.
Because I was originally familiar with three of the goblin’s tattoos: purple flame, berserk fire, and magic circle of mind control.
So I took out the two magic circles that the skill remembered.
One is a large magic circle of mind control, but what is the other one? I tried injecting mana as a test, but nothing happened.
Is this also activated where the wand is aimed? This magic circle is useless because whatever the remaining one is, it cannot be used.
It would be better to erase these two and remember the other ones.
So I started searching the Internet again, and the additional magic circles I learned were sleep and silence.
In the case of sleep, when the magic circle is activated, if there is no resistance, you will sleep soundly.
I brought something similar to Silence, but instead of leaving a mark, it had an almost infinite duration.
Both of them are similar to the Jeomhyeol in Murim, but should we say they are different? It was like learning it in advance.
I chose the five magic circles that are more suitable for support rather than combat, but I think my combat ability is sufficient with the skills I have.
It’ll be fine as long as you don’t meet abnormal people like those in our class.
However, since those two magic circles are not completely unusable in battle, I thought it would be a great help if they could be used as a surprise.
‘Still, wouldn’t it be better to spend the day today?’
As I grow, the limitation of suitability has almost disappeared, so I can possess it at any time, but I must not forget that I am Yusian.
Learning the magic circle took less time than I thought, so I have to go to the student support office.
I want to gain practical experience.
*
She went to the student support office and said she wanted to learn spear and sword, and Professor Jeon Yeonnam said that she satisfied those conditions.
The place was a sparring room, the same as in the morning, but since it was a class, it was just me and Professor Jeon Yeon-nam.
“Student Yu Xian, I didn’t know we would see each other again in just a few hours.”
“I think so too.”
I thought I would learn spears and swords from different people, but I ended up learning them from the same person.
“Which should I start with, the spear or the sword? Should I start with the spear? Yu Xian only uses the spear for throwing, so what I want to learn is how to handle it, right?”
“Yes. I also want to learn how to make various weapons.”
“Then let’s start with the window.”
“I understand.”
I used Shadow Craft to create a window made of shadows.
The spear blade was of an appropriate length, so cutting and stabbing was possible.
And Professor Jeon Yeon-nam took out a small baton from his waist and swung it into the air.
As the rod unfolded, it became quite long, and the professor concentrated mana on the end of the rod to create a spear blade.
“You said that Xian cannot learn skills through repeated actions, right?”
“It seems like it has to be a quest.”
“Then, remember with your body and mind. Breathing isn’t even a skill for people to survive, is it? People with status window abilities tend to rely on skills, so they forget about human potential.”
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam grabbed the spear, aimed it in the air, turned the spear left and right, and stabbed.
I roughly know that this is Rannachal (攔拿扎), the basis of spearmanship.
Because I went back and forth and saw spearmen practicing their spears at the supermarket, practicing their spears based on that.
“Would you like to become a student of Yu Xian?”
I held the spear made of shadow and did three actions in succession.
Lanchang that is pressed outward to block, Naechang that is pressed inward to block, and stabbing spear.
In actual combat, I mostly used detection and focused on stabbing, but I was able to roughly imitate the basics.
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam looked at my movements and nodded slightly.
“You’re good at basic movements. But this isn’t what you want, right?”
“I want to know how to handle both the spear and the sword better and how to win.”
“Good. If you can’t learn it as a skill, it’s best to learn it by practice so that your body can remember it.”
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam adjusted his spear and aimed it at me.
“Professor… Is that correct?”
“I learned this way too. I just passed it on the way I learned it.”
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam pointed his spear at me and added one word.
“For your information, I also have no skills with spears or swords.”
Using calmness and insight, I managed to hit the spear with Ran’s method.
“But other professors recognized me because I was an all-rounder.”
The spear I had struck started to wrap around in reverse and stab at me.
When I used my vision to read the incoming stab and at the same time strained my arms to block it, the vision was activated again at that moment.
Every time I tried to make a change, it seemed like I was reading the attack with my eyes and reading every moment of strength in my body, and my head was overloaded.
Is this the difference between a professor and a student?! The moment I lost my mind, Professor Jeon Yeon-nam’s spear was already aimed at my forehead.
“When using any weapon, you need to have some basic skills, strong stamina, and reading skills. If you can do these two things, you can reach a level where you can’t say you can’t use any weapon.”
“I don’t think it’s that easy to say what the professor just said?”
“And keep in mind that there are times when you have to use your intuition and not rely on skills that are too effective. Student Yu Xian has the skill to read the opponent’s moves, right? While fighting student Yulian Loa, he made up for his lack of strength with a perfect response.”
“Can you tell that by looking at the fight today?”
“If you are a professor at a global academy, you can know everything if you have time.”
For some reason, I thought it wasn’t possible, but Professor Jeon Yeon-nam did it.
“Then, let’s take the time to practice the basics so that we can utilize those good skills. Two things, a spear and a sword, right?”
I nodded to the professor’s question.
The moment Professor Jeon Yeon-nam pointed his spear at me again, smiling in a good-natured manner, I realized that something had gone wrong.
*
In the absence of any skills related to weaponry, I repeatedly faced difficult battles.
The only thing that can narrow the gap is the insight into the rules of survival, but after being blacked out a few times by Professor Jeon Yeon-nam’s weapon skills that make fun of these flaws, I was brought out of my dependence on the rules of survival into a slightly different level.
Can I say that I felt like I was forced to learn a little bit about the feeling of understanding the skills that Chris Roanna talked about?
I think I learned a bit about the technology I use and the principles behind it.
‘Improving the efficiency of detection is certain to be helpful in all situations.’
But every time I finished training, my head hurt so much that I felt like I was going to die.
After finishing morning training, having lunch with Seoyeon, and then training in the afternoon, I stretched out about halfway.
If Seoyeon hadn’t helped me with her healing magic, wouldn’t she have completely collapsed on the third day?
After the professor’s intense training, I suffered from a headache, and because of the combat sleep, I woke up with a headache again and again, and five days had already passed.
Are you planning on giving me free time on the weekend? . No. Of course, it’s a day off, right?
‘What? It’s not like I haven’t received the quest right now, right?’
I even prepared a magic circle with the intention of possessing Han Xian?
I suffered to the point of being blacked out, so I lost my direction for a moment.
We need to set the assimilation rate for Hansian to 100%.
‘Summer Possession.’
Never run away because class is difficult.
I’m going on a quest.
