Chapter 59 – 59. Lingering

When I knocked on the door of the Geosimryu dojo, Eunhwa Ryu came out to greet me, again holding a broom.

“You came early today too.”

“Good morning.”

After coming inside, I sat down on the main hall and drank a cup of tea as I did last time, and then the class started.

“Before going into the full-scale class, I would like to ask you a question first. Do you know, by any chance, how much Kang Dae-woong-nim’s magic power is?”

“Yes, what. To some extent.”

You know exactly
Because I can see my status window.

Of course, I didn’t mean it in that sense.

“Because I measured magic attribute as soon as I entered SSLK.”

“Ah. That’s good, then. Could you please tell us how the measurements came out?”

If the average magical power of D-class wizards belonging to SSLK is 10, I’m around 15 or 16. It is safe to say that there are few hunters of the same level who can match my magical power, except for my lovers.

When I informed her of this fact, Ryu Eun-hwa seemed to be thinking for a while, then came next to me and reached out her hand to my lower stomach.

“Excuse me for a moment. I’m just trying to feel Kang Dae-woong’s Danjeon, so please bear with me even if you’re uncomfortable.”

A few centimeters below the navel.

Wherever she could touch his cock with just a slight movement of her finger, she did it without hesitation.

‘Am I using magic?’

She was concentrating with her eyes closed.
I sang the national anthem in my mind to prevent an unexpected accident.

I had to use my hands beforehand to avoid blushing in embarrassment, as I never knew when this damn guy would get another erection.

While singing the chorus of the third verse like that, Ryu Eun-hwa, with beads of sweat on her forehead, removed her hand.

“How about it?”

When I asked, she, still with her eyes closed, let out a drool.

Did something go wrong?

“Have you ever learned any other simbeop or mana manipulation method?”

“No, I don’t have one.”

“Well…”

I felt a bit frustrated seeing him constantly refusing, but I wait patiently. After clearing up her thoughts, she opened her mouth.

“It feels a bit different from other people. I don’t know what to say… Magical power originally has its own unique characteristics and properties for each person. But Kang Dae-woong doesn’t have that.”

“No?”

“Yeah. Well, to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, if it is the magic drink of other people including me, Kang Dae-woong’s magic is water. No smell, no color.”

Water, it

“I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”

“You have to figure it out later. It’s the first time I’ve had this happen too. But like you said earlier, I’ve confirmed that you have a lot of magic power, so you can start training right away.”

“Follow me,” She added, and went down from the main hall and headed for a small room.

“This is the first training room. Please sit down for a while.”

I went inside and waited comfortably, and after a while she came back with a gem that was much redder than the normal mana stone.

“That’s?”

“It’s a fire crystal that can be obtained from a C-class hidden gate. It’s something I got lucky with.”

After a brief explanation, she focused her mind, and after a while, a soft red light flowed from the Hwajeongseok. At the same time, the air is stuffy.

Discomfort seeps into the skin.

“The magic power injected into the fire crystal turned into heat. It will become stronger and stronger in the future. Kang Dae-woong-nim, just hold on until you can.”

I sat still as she said and began to endure the growing discomfort.

How long has it been like that

My whole body was wet with sweat.
His breathing holes were clogged, making his head dizzy, his vision blurred, and his whole body felt as heavy as wet cotton.

I couldn’t stand it any longer and went outside, and Ryu Eun-hwa followed.

“Seeing that you’ve endured this far even though it’s your first time, you must have a lot of magic power.”

His cock jerked as she pulled back her wet, sweaty hair. No, I didn’t want to giggle, but I drooped.

‘Crazy?’

It had never been like this when I circled the gate until dawn, when I was beaten by a wooden doll at the training center, or even when I dealt with Jeong Ha-ryun and Seol Da-jin at the same time.

“…It’s very difficult.”

“Because the heat emitted by the Hwajeongseok is a kind of magic created by mana. In order to resist the magic, he was unknowingly consuming mana. Even with the whole body.”

Wiping the sweat dripping down her neck, she continued.

“You will gradually get used to it. Then, after taking a break for a while, let’s continue training.”

Waiting for those words, I hurriedly went up to the green floor and laid her down. Ryu Eun-hwa, who saw that, smiled and walked past me and went into the living room.

Are you taking care of me to rest comfortably?

‘Thank you, it’s me.’

Close your eyes for a moment
When I opened my eyes again, two hours had passed.

“Let’s go to the next training room.”

Get up and head to the second training room.
What she brought this time was a cryolite with a color opposite to that of the hwajeongseok.

“Did you get that too?”

“Nope. I bought this with money.”

The training method was the same this time.
She injected magical energy into the cryolite, and I ran out of the room, unable to bear the cold.

‘It’s filthy hard.’

It’s harder than you imagined.
The fatigue was no joke, just like when you train a muscle you haven’t used in your entire life.

Wouldn’t this be close to torture?

‘…Isn’t it because the disciples couldn’t endure it because it took so long, not because it was difficult?’

Well, there is a possibility.

Fortunately, however, this was the end of today’s training. Even so, I had to do this again two days later.

“You worked hard.”

“You worked hard. Please go in carefully.”

Leaving behind Ryu Eun-hwa’s greetings, I left the dojo and took a break at a nearby motel before heading to the hive battlefield.

After going around gate 1 with my lovers, I took a break and looked for Seo Ga-hee, but she was nowhere to be found. It was the same even after going around Gate 2 with difficulty.

Until then, I had no idea.

However, when Seo Ga-hee did not appear the next day and the day after that, he had an ominous thought.

‘…Couldn’t he have done something strange?’

The back view I saw before somehow bothers me.
Even though he’s an academy fan, he didn’t hate death enough to like it.

When I sighed deeply while sitting in a restaurant on the battlefield, Jeong Ha-ryun held my hand tightly and asked,

“Brother, is training really hard?”

“Yes?”

“I think you are having a hard time.”

It’s admirable that he cares about you, so he kisses you on the cheek with a smile. Well, it’s true that giant heart training is exhausting, but it wasn’t enough to let out a sigh.

“No, not like that. I have some other problems.”

“Any other problem?”

“What is it, tell me.”

Seol Da-jin, who was wrestling with a smartphone, also showed interest.
It wasn’t something to hide, so Dajin Seol said as if he was surprised when he talked about and thought about Seo Ga-hee.

“My younger brother, is surprisingly kind?”

“I was good from the start.”

“Damn it.”

“Oh, oppa is nice… He was very kind and helped me when we first met…”

“As expected, there is only one of us. Come on.”

“Ah… Hehe…”

When I hugged Jeong Ha-ryun, Seol Da-jin pouted out and suddenly went under the table and popped out next to me.

“If you’re nice, don’t just hug Ha-ryun, hug me too, you bastard.”

To be jealous

As I smiled and hugged Seol Da-jin, the protruding mouth went back in.

“Hey, so what will Seo Ga-hee do?”

“That’s the problem.”

“Would you like me to look into it?”

“Your sister?”

“You know the A-rank sister I mentioned before. That sister has rather wide feet. There are many colleagues from the academy. If you ask around, you’ll find out right away, right?”

It was embarrassing to just draw attention like this.
When I nodded, Seol Da-jin immediately asked the A-rank sister to call.

It was a few days later that I heard the news of Seo Ga-hee.

“Hey, he said he went abroad?”

“…Foreign country?”

“Uh. Well, a foreign professor must have published a thesis on the hero’s ordeal. So you said you went abroad to meet him?”

It’s fortunate that it’s not something I was concerned about, but what about the hero’s ordeal?

“The hero’s ordeal or something else?”

“I don’t know exactly, but according to my sister, they give out quests and reward them when they complete them.”

“…I’ll have to take a closer look.”

“I knew I would, so I asked my mother to get a translation.”

“Five.”

After praising Seol Da-jin with a rough kiss, I meticulously examined the thesis she handed over.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a system like S.L.U.S.
Even though you can see your own status window, it says that you can’t directly manage it like me.

The structure itself seemed different, considering that only quests could obtain rewards such as stats and skills.

However.

“How did you find out about this?”

I tapped the status window picture in the thesis. The status window there had the same look as the S.L.U.S.

“Looks like you talk a lot about that. The professor claims to have heard it directly from the person who had this hero’s ordeal.”

“Was there?”

“Uh. Are you dead now?”

It’s a pity.

If he had been alive, he would have been able to easily meet him through the professor.

‘But what?’

It’s not like the opportunity is gone.

“But, brother. If there is something like this, wouldn’t there be something else?”

Jung Ha-ryun, who was quietly listening by the side, raised a reasonable question.

I too had the same thought.

“Maybe.”

“What if I had the same thing as my brother?”

“Maybe not?”

She shows her the last page of her thesis, worried about her.

“Only one person undergoes the hero’s trial, and when he dies, the trial falls on another person?”

“Mine will be similar.”

Seeing that the status window was the same, there was a high possibility.
So no one has the same S.L.U.S as me.

I don’t know if anyone had it before.

‘…I have to train hard.’

I’m still working hard, but I have no choice but to work harder. I packed my thesis and got up from my seat. It’s time to turn the gate.
