Episode 773
‘Is this person like this with everyone he meets?’
If everyone I met said, ‘Senior or junior, teach me magic,’ I could understand that notoriety.
Of course, it is better to have a passion for learning than to have no passion for learning, but isn’t that true to a certain extent?
It was understandable that he got sick of me chasing him around and harassing him for several years.
‘Oops. ‘This is not the time.’
Lee Han quickly came to his senses.
Right now, in front of my eyes, there was not a robber with a sword, but a senior with a sword.
And for some reason, the senior with the sword had a very high opinion of Lee Han.
“There seems to be some mistake. Seniors. “How can you tell whether I pass or not based on what I just said?”
Lee Han spoke firmly because he did not want to teach a fifth-year senior.
And this statement wasn’t particularly wrong.
‘They let me pass just because we talked once. No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.’
There was a high possibility that it was just an intention to force them to teach no matter what they said.
“haha. Junior. Do you know how many wizards taught me? Just by hearing one word, I can tell whether you have the ability to teach me or not.”
Caton smiled, proudly saying something that didn’t sound like much.
Of course, Lee Han couldn’t laugh. It wasn’t even that funny.
“Is that so? “What part exactly?”
“First of all, the wizards who tried to teach me started with basic arithmetic and tried to get numbers into my head. But my junior didn’t do that.”
“……”
Lee Han wanted to say, ‘It’s because Direth told me in advance!’, but he couldn’t bring himself to accuse Direth, so he held back.
‘Oops. I’m sure you’ll say that senior Yukbeltire told you.’
“Just by looking at that, you can tell that you are one of the best wizards who tried to teach me.”
“It may seem like an overstatement, but… weren’t there people like that among the White Tiger Tower friends?”
“hmm. “Everyone was trying to force me to teach them numbers first.”
‘shit. Moradi. ‘What a smart bastard!’
Lee Han was secretly indignant at Giselle, who had done nothing wrong.
I can’t believe I got hit like this!
‘I should have said I would teach numbers first.’
I passed the exam because of what I heard from Delet and my experience teaching failing first-year students.
“Besides, junior, you suggested a method that is different from the existing magic practice? “I have heard < Lesser Flame Wall > explained dozens of times, but this is the first time I have seen someone who was prepared to set their body on fire like you did and tried to cast it.”
“……”
This time it was Professor Djorjic’s turn to blame the Benmalfa family.
Lee Han cursed Professor Djorjic, saying he would never become a principal.
“That’s because I had too much magic power and had trouble controlling it…”
“Did you have that much trouble!? Even better! “You might really be able to teach me!”
Caton was very happy to see the pain his junior went through.
If he was a genius who could succeed in taking all the classes even after going through that kind of pain, he might be able to teach Catton himself.
“…don’t be too disappointed if I can’t teach you.”
Lee Han gave up and said.
I thought that if it didn’t work out, Caton would give up on its own.
The fifth-year senior smiled, stroking the long, sideways whiskers that were characteristic of a cat beast.
“What a disappointment! How many times have you failed so far? Would that make you disappointed? Junior. Don’t worry too much. ruler. “Come here.”
Caton moved forward, dragging Lee Han at a brisk pace.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“Where are you going?”
“ah. As I said, as much as my junior teaches me magic, I also have to teach my junior swordsmanship. I think that if you learn more swordsmanship, it will definitely be helpful in your magic training.”
‘Do you mean to cut down the professor and run away?’
In Lee Han’s view, the only way swordsmanship could help with magic training was cutting down the professor and running away.
“Can I really learn your swordsmanship?”
“I listened to what the top juniors said, and it’s quite possible!”
“……”
Lee Han took steps, vowing to catch the second-year students of White Tiger Tower when he returned.
“You must have taken a swordsmanship class last year, so you must have learned about intention. “Junior.”
“yes.”
The vision passed down orally among the Empire’s old swordsmen contained ambiguous phrases such as ‘Put your anger into your sword’ and ‘Put your faith into your sword.’
This was not simply an emotional training method. Prosecutors were actually able to change the nature of magical power into sense and instinct.
Professor Ingalldell explained this by putting one’s intention into the sword.
“When you learn how to skillfully use magical power, when you fully understand the fundamentals of swordsmanship, and finally when you learn how to condense your intention into a single point beyond the ordinary level of putting it into a sword…!”
At that moment, the sword shined like a star.
Any wizard can easily see a light source, but the light emanating from the senior’s sword held a mystery that was fundamentally different from that light.
It was a crystalline aura of magical power so concentrated that it could not be understood by the wizard’s rational mind.
“That’s amazing! “How did you realize this?”
Caton seriously thought about Lee Han’s flattery.
And then he answered.
“As expected, the punishment room seems to have been large. Junior. “As I continued to stay in the punishment room, I began to think deeply about swordsmanship.”
“…I see.”
“If you don’t know how to control magical power, you can’t gather it into a sword. If you don’t know how to control herbivorous energy, you can’t control it. If you don’t know how to gather intention, you can’t condense it. “You cannot lack any one of the three.”
Lee Han nodded.
Lee Han himself knew this well as he had tried to become a fake auror by forcibly channeling his magic power.
In the end, since the core of this auror was magic power concentrated beyond its limits, it was impossible to create it with magic power alone without enlightenment.
“Junior, you must complete this first.”
“…Do you have any advice?”
Caton thought seriously again.
“hmm. If I do what I did, I will be in the punishment room during vacation…”
“I will do my best within the lecture time.”
Lee Han answered quickly.
I was afraid that if I answered wrong here, I would not be able to leave Einrogard even during vacation.
“also. “Your junior is a genius enough to take classes from all schools, so it will be possible.”
‘You sure Senior Catton didn’t call me to harass me, right?’
Even when I heard my senior speak highly of me, I wasn’t very happy.
“Now that I complete this aura, the next thing is…”
With those words, Caton swung the aura towards the lava. A sword burning like a star drew a shining trajectory.
It was an attack with enormous destructive power, and it actually ended there. Lee Han had doubts as he did not know what the other person was trying to show.
“…ruler!”
Caton’s sword dance had only just begun.
When he swung once and then swung again, the reality of the area through which the Auror passed began to change ever so slightly.
“!!!!”
As Lee Han had witnessed Direth’s small world magic firsthand, he was astonished to realize what the other person was doing now.
Now, the other person was summoning small world magic by swinging his sword!
Of course, it was not a small world with an elaborate and systematic order like the < Pentagramaton > written by Dilett.
It was a limited and strange small world that only applied to the moment when a primitive and crude sword was wielded.
But even so, a small world is definitely a small world.
As the rules of reality changed, the aurors suddenly turned into water and exploded.
Caton shouted and brought out this water to create a barrier.
“Ha…ha!”
Unfortunately, the water barrier did not last long enough to make such a complaint. The barrier lasted for a few seconds, then quickly lost strength and disappeared.
Unlike magic, which allows for a variety of complex processes, swordsmanship is capable of producing highly destructive phenomena in an instant, but maintaining a water barrier in that way is close to impossible.
Rather, just maintaining it for a few seconds was a great achievement in itself.
Simply forming an auror is great, but realizing a small world with it.
“Huh… Hah. “Did you just see it, junior?”
“I saw it.”
Caton also gasped as if the draw just took a toll on his physical strength.
“This too… was completed… in the punishment room…”
“……”
‘Are you a punishment room fanatic?’
“great. “I never thought I could create a small world with a sword.”
“Small world? “What is that, junior?”
“……”
Lee Han had no idea that a 5th grade student wouldn’t even know what a small world was.
“Well… So it’s like this. The magic is roughly 5 circles…”
“…gasp! There was such a thing as magic! “I thought it only existed in swordsmanship!”
‘…I think you should really join the knighthood.’
Lee Han was taken aback by Caton, but was secretly surprised.
Whenever I faced knights like Allarlong or Jiklin, I felt that their strength went beyond simply being excellent at swordsmanship or being able to use Aurors, but it made sense if swordsmen who had reached the level were capable of such things.
As for the sword technique that Lee Han learned, Byeokamgeom, didn’t Alarlong even teach him the second half of the swordsmanship?
‘It’s possible to reach even a small world with swordsmanship.’
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“Seniors. Is something like this possible with swordsmanship?”
“which?”
“So…”
Lee Han briefly explained what he knew about magic in the unique world.
The wizard’s ultimate vision that does not simply change the wizard’s individual world, but recreates a much wider area into the wizard’s individual order.
Caton burst out laughing as the headmaster explained the level he had shown once.
“Even magic is impossible, junior! “How can an individual wizard color such a large area into his own world!”
“…Seniors. “This is magic.”
“?!?!”
Caton was surprised.
It was only after listening to Lee Han’s explanation that the 5th grade senior felt embarrassed and was able to understand.
“I never thought there was such a great magic… Junior. “I was really surprised.”
“Have you never heard of it?”
“I only asked about very easy magic…”
Even though he had heard of < Lesser Flame Wall > dozens of times, he had never heard of small worlds or unique worlds.
“And as far as I know, that’s impossible with swordsmanship. hmm. Even if you twist the area where you swing the sword… I can’t imagine how you would change that large area.”
Unlike the wizard’s small world, the swordsman could momentarily twist reality only in the short area where he wielded his sword.
It was a natural limitation as it was unfolding with instinct and sense.
Of course, from the wizard’s perspective, this felt like a huge, deceptive shortcut, but…
“Well, that’s not the point. “I don’t think I’ll get there anyway.”
“Junior. What do you mean? Don’t set limits for yourself already. Junior, you can do it. “What kind of mindset did you have when learning swordsmanship last year?”
“hmm.”
Lee Han was worried that he shouldn’t bring up the story that he heard it with the intention of getting a good grade.
“Sword… I want to take the path of the sword more seriously…”
“I knew it! Junior. “Just as I have not given up on magic, my junior, please do not give up on swordsmanship.”
“Thank you persimmon.”
“Ever since I realized this secret, I have been trying to increase my secret. hmm. “One day, we will be able to use it in a variety of ways that rival magic.”
‘This is mad swordsmanship…’
Lee Han listened inwardly in astonishment.
“Junior. Think about it. Even with the few magic tricks I had learned, I was able to do this. “If I learn more magic, how many secret weapons can I make?”
“I’m so scared!”
“hmm? “Are you afraid?”
“I meant it in a positive way, saying it was scary. Just like that punishment room.”
