We went to school for nothing (36)
Lesson 9. Learning martial arts – 1
When the group entered the tower, it was Room 0.
However, the moment they took a few more steps in tension, the surrounding environment suddenly distorted, and the number on the pendant rose one by one, and it stopped at 5 before long.
“Room 5.”
Light whispered in a low voice.
Today, it can be said that he was dressed appropriately for stealth action because he was not holding that flashing sword.
“I was thinking that I might have to start over from room 1 because I got caught up in something so strange, but it’s a relief.”
“But this…”
Ban Yu-Won narrowed his eyes as he sensed that no sign of a monster was appearing above all the corridors wide enough for only two people to walk side by side and the crossroads he could see beyond.
Last week, it was easy to just hunt monsters, but this time it seemed to be an exploration room.
and the most common among them.
“Mirone.”
“I think I saw it in a textbook.”
“this way.”
When we reached the fork in the road, Ruchel pointed to the left without hesitation.
I looked at her, wondering if there was some reason, and Ruchel nodded confidently.
However, as I followed her words, a dead end soon appeared.
Ruchel felt the gaze of the party focused on her and gave a clear answer.
“It smelled like a monster.”
“Did you find a monster, not a road?”
―At least at that point in time,
not even a semi-amusement could find traces of monsters, so Ruchel’s search ability could be said to be really amazing in some sense… but it’s scary to think about it, and the black and sticky feeling in the shadow of the
wall Something in the form of a street suddenly fell down.
At first glance, it looked similar to the closeater I had encountered in room 1 before, but its body was slimier, it glowed unpleasantly, and above all, it was constantly spitting out unpleasant sounds.
“Glitch.”
Banyuwon reflexively uttered the monster’s name.
“Why is that guy already…”
“It’s nothing new.”
All the rooms I’ve been through so far have been like this, but this guy wasn’t a monster that only appeared in room 5.
The sound it emits distorts all human senses, and the irregularly flashing light causes abnormalities in the mind.
―Isn’t there a time when the screen creaks on a console device that is played with a
Gig Gig Gig cartridge inserted, and the graphics and sound all taste good?
A phenomenon in which everything that should be taken for granted is reversed and gives a bizarre feeling of fear.
He was a monster that seemed to have translated that phenomenon into reality.
“Quack!”
―Giggygeek
And the best way not to get hit by him is to destroy him before he does anything.
Just like what Lucille just showed.
rob [life 0.1 fiend 0.2 flash 0.1 noise 0.1 breakdown 0.05 reversal 0.01. Flash and noise failure reversal is a concept that humans cannot possess.]
Perhaps because it was a completely different type from the monsters I had dealt with so far, there were so many new concepts to gain.
However, what Banyuwon paid attention to was the concept of breakdown and reversal.
Breakdown can be associated to some extent in the sense that a person’s body is broken, but what about the concept of reversal, meaning that the front and back are reversed?
Glitch is not a concept that anyone can think of when looking at Glitch.
In other words, this is also an additional concept that appeared because anti-amusements are aware of the phenomenon of glitches in the modern Earth.
‘As is often the case with such concepts, this is a rat tail… but if I collect and collect them here, can I fill 1?’
Judging from the experience of anti-yuwon, a concept is established as a concept when at least one depth is gathered.
There are 100 glitches, so if this happens, there is a need to deliberately wander around 5 rooms…
“What are you going to do? You can’t rush blindly beyond a maze.”
“Well, I have no choice but to move while remembering all the roads…”
“Ban, don’t you have a sharp way?”
Again, the question I was expecting came.
Ban Yu-won replied with an ambiguous smile.
“From now on, I will study it. Let’s move.”
“great.”
Ban Yu-won tried to ignore the concept of countless walls and roads he could see.
After all, the goal of this exploration is not to clear the tower at high speed, but to adapt to it!
Three hours passed like that.
“It’s strange.”
Dokgoyeon, who smashed the glitch at the end of the dead end with a single blow, said.
“Once I came here, I remembered all the roads…”
“The shape of the road is different, but it seems like the road I came once.”
Dokgoyeon nodded as if she had waited for Light’s comment.
“Exactly. It’s not just a maze, it means that the path is changing in real time.”
“According to the textbook, it must be over 100 rooms…”
“That damn textbook! Forget about that!”
Ever since the group entered the tower, the only thing that matched the damn textbook was the name of the monster appearing!
“Get out of the way. If you destroy everything, something will come out.”
The stress accumulated over the past 3 hours made Dokgo Yeon come to the fore.
The sleeves of her clothes begin to flutter uncontrollably, indicating that she is really about to launch a proper attack.
But it was not necessary.
“Wait for Dokgoyeon.”
Ban Yu-Won, who gathered the concepts from the scattered glitches, finally confirmed that the concept of reversal had gathered up to 1, and nodded his head and stepped forward.
“Actually, I just found out something.”
“Now?”
“huh. So…”
Ban Yu-won passed by Dok-go-yeon and pressed a point on the wall.
Then his hand seemed to go into the wall, and from that point on, the wall collapsed and a new path appeared in front of his eyes.
[He steals 0.5 virtual images. It’s a concept that humans can’t hold.]
Where there should be a wall, instead of a wall, the concept of an illusion was entrenched.
When Banyuwon retrieved it, even the part that was actually a wall collapsed and a road appeared.
In other words, it was impossible to find the way unless you accurately caught only the part where there was an illusion.
The reason Dokgoyeon, who is sensitive to emotions, couldn’t find this was probably because both the virtual image and the wall were made of the same mana.
I don’t know if it would be possible for someone other than a semi-amusement person to differentiate between the two in the first place.
“braided.”
“…you really just found out about that?”
Dokgo-yeon’s suspicious eyes were fixed on Ban Yu-won who smiled and turned around.
If he confessed softly, this week’s exploration could end here, so Ban Yu-won only shrugged his shoulders, saying, “What are you talking about?”
“I hate wasting time, too. As I continued to explore, I found a gap and poked it.”
“Hmm.”
“It happened because I found a way. Let’s go now. I’m fed up with the maze.”
“If you climb the tower in the future, you will meet again and again.”
“What are you talking about? Now that half has learned the trick, he’ll destroy everything right away.”
The eyes of infinite trust pouring from the light.
That’s right, since he not only got rid of most of the traps he had encountered in the previous 3 rooms, but also penetrated the labyrinth, it was understandable that he sent such a glance.
And that was the correct answer.
In fact, Ban Yu-Won began to wonder if everything other than the monsters in this tower was a task that would be a piece of cake for him.
‘Well, it’s natural since it’s the tower I’m going to inherit.’
Ban Yu-won took the lead of the party with such a shameless thought.
After escaping from the trap of the maze and finding the right path, glitches attacked from all over the place from then on. Glitch’s special ability was so great, but his defense was like a paper glove, so he couldn’t even withstand the blow of the weakest member of the party, the anti-yuwon. .
“excuse me.”
―Kwajik
Besides, there is Ruchel, who finds monsters with her sense of smell.
By simply attacking in the direction she indicated, the glitch could be cleared before it even had a single glimmer.
“Is the beast okay?”
“yes. Because I have half.”
As I sniffed with my ears on the trend of the glitches that might appear at any time, I noticed that Ruchel’s hair was dyed black, albeit slightly.
However, it was also true that the speed was slower than before, and the state was stable, perhaps because Ruchel herself believed in Banyuwon.
Dokgoyeon nodded slowly and said to Ban Yuwon.
“Banyuwon remember what I said earlier.”
“Well I don’t know.”
Ban Yoo-won responded helplessly to Dok-go-yeon’s words, erasing another false image.
That moment.
“What?!”
“half!”
“Before this…!”
Suddenly, all sides collapsed, the passage greatly expanded, and an absurdly huge glitch appeared in front of the party’s eyes.
Ban Yu-Won and the others were encountering elite monsters that others couldn’t even meet, so it was just astonishing.
Even before the end, the road he was standing on was narrow, and Ban Yu-Won was in the lead, so the only one who could deal with him right now was Ban Yu-Won.
―Gigik
“Chit…!”
The moment the Giant Glitch started to light up with the noise, Ban Yu-Won brought out the entire concept of reversal that he had gathered so far without thinking deeply.
Since it is not a concept that humans can possess, it is impossible for him to directly use the power of the concept.
So, as I once conceived, it is to take out the concept itself and liberate it!
As if making full use of the active concept of wave (波), it hits the string of reversal with its magic power as much as it has and explodes it!
―The
effect was dramatic.
The moment the golden string shot straight at the Giant Glitch emitted a brilliant light, everything from the Glitch was reversed and attacked him.
What will happen when an attack that wreaks havoc on all of your senses and your mind has struck the almost cerebral body of the Glitch?
Cracks running like waves ran all over his body, like a crackling computer screen.
“Suck!”
In the gap, Ban Yu-won took a step forward and strongly thrust his sword.
[Chamber Wave]
The wave of sever power split the torso of an elite monster causing cracks in half at once!
[Rive 5 Fiend 7 Flash 5 Noise 5 Trouble 2 Reversal 1 Resistance 0.5 will be robbed.] Banyuwon withdraws his sword and sighs lightly
. exhaled
In fact, liberating and using the language concept directly was a method that I had been contemplating for a while, but was reluctant to use it.
Because if you use it like this, the concept is neatly lost.
Although I managed to retrieve the reverse of 1 intact from the elite I just hunted…
‘It certainly worked well. Maybe that’s because I used it in a way that consumed it.’
The newly obtained 1 reversal was applied to the sword as a test, and it was applied properly.
Holding this and wielding it will not bring out the same dramatic effect as before, but wouldn’t it be better to keep using it rather than wasting it fleetingly?
He waved his sword in the air a few times, then nodded contentedly, sorting out the remaining concepts.
The problem was the demon, to be exact, a 3.5 demon extracted from it.
[Magic Power 199.999]
‘It doesn’t rise.’
Even though it had already absorbed more than enough, horsepower hadn’t risen above 200.
Somehow, even before entering the tower, I was anxious, so that anxiety had hit the mark.
In the case of life, there were no such difficulties, and in the case of the body… There was a possibility that he passed over unknowingly because he absorbed Erekto’s body concept and broke through 200 at once.
“Why is that? Are there any more enemies left?”
Dok-go-yeon, who was speechless at the small miracle Ban Yu-won showed just now, saw him hesitating and tilted his head and asked.
“No, it’s not because my magical power hasn’t grown.”
“horsepower? Growth… Ah, you’ve faced a wall.”
Ban Yu-won probably wasn’t talking about the walls of the maze, but he waited for Dok-go-yeon’s next words.
“You are energized so quickly that it seems as if you are forcibly sucking it from the surroundings. It’s like constantly pouring water without having time for the bowl to grow, so you have no choice but to feel the limit soon…”
“The bowl… Then what should I do?”
“It’s not a good way to blindly try to increase your energy like now. There are many things… yes, the best thing is to release a lot of qi and allow the body to adapt to it.”
“Your body adapts to Qi.”
After hearing those words, it was difficult to say that Ban Yu-Won was still actively using magical powers.
Although he had always been activating his body after gaining magical power, it was only used to boil water and warm his hands with the heat from it.
At least, it could be said that mana was consumed significantly when using the concept of waves or consuming the entire reversal like just before.
‘It would be nice to get some more active concepts. Or should I study actively using passive concepts?’
For the past week, I’ve been paying more attention to Ruchel than to developing my own abilities, but I didn’t expect it to come back like this.
As he was perplexed, Dok-go-yeon smiled and suggested it.
“I know a good way, can I teach you?”
“No thanks?”
“Aren’t you thinking of me as some kind of vicious swindler? It’s not that big, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Thank you so much, I won’t stop you until you return with all your heart.”
Ban Yu-won did not miss Dok-go-yeon’s gaze, which said that, for a very short moment, heading to Ruchel and then returning.
If Ban Yu-Won hadn’t been the holder of Mandok-Eun, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.
But this meant that she was really envious that Ruchel had been given clothes as a gift by a semi-funny boy.
then.
“If you teach me, I will be grateful. Expect a present too.”
“It’s great.”
In exchange for advice on how to handle ki from Dokgo-yeon, an unfathomable master, a few clothes are cheap.
When Ban Yu-won changed his attitude in an instant, Dok-go-yeon also smiled with satisfaction.
“Wait a minute and a half. I even caught an elite monster, but the shift doesn’t happen. Stop talking with Dok-go-yeon.”
“It’s better. Everyone has been walking for a long time, right? I am resting. I will be teaching Ban Yu-Won the basics of Hyeonsin Gong.”
Studying to make a black body?
Ban Yu-Won subconsciously accepted the literal translation and recalled an extremely prejudiced and racist image in his head. Dok-Ko-Yeon glared at him with white eyes as if he had found out what he was thinking.
“Hyeonsingong’s prefecture is the prefecture when it is said that it is wise. No matter what you think.”
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“I just need to know. Contrary to its grandiose name, it is actually just basic martial arts, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.”
“But it’s martial arts… isn’t it supposed to do something like the Gubaejirye?”
Although I had received a lot of help from Dokgo-yeon, this was the first time I had really studied martial arts, so I asked such a question, but Dok-go-yeon unexpectedly laughed.
“It’s a basic skill that only children learn, but it’s grandiose. It’s not even a study to build up ki. It’s just a simple technique to strengthen one’s body with one’s own energy. Where did your knowledge of alternative martial arts come from?”
in martial arts novels.
It was clear that he would be hit if he answered like that, so Ban Yu-won quietly decided to do as she said.
Ban Yu-won did not know, but in fact, Hyeonsingong was the first martial art Dokgo-yeon learned since he was born.
If you knew this, you would have known how big of a decision Dok-go-yeon had made, but unfortunately, he was as ignorant as Light, who was always teasing him, so he took it lightly.
