Episode 192
As winter approached in December and the cold gradually became stronger, the students at the Wizard’s Academy began to wear thicker clothes.
Right now, next to me was Hayoung Yoon, her entire body covered in long black padding like kimbap, sniffling.
“eww. cold. “Seonwoo, aren’t you cold?”
Hayoung Yoon looks up at me with curious eyes. My current outfit consists of just a fleece jacket over my school uniform.
It can be said that it is closer to fall clothes than winter clothes.
“You know. “I don’t get cold or hot easily.”
“I know, but. I’m amazed every time I see it. “Didn’t you put something like a hot pack under your clothes?”
Hayoung Yoon looked at me as if she were suspicious.
The idea of sticking a hot pack inside one’s clothes was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.
“What is a hot pack?”
Hayoung Yoon and I are on our way to wizard academy.
I walked across the road towards the manifestation magic training ground.
I ran into several students along the way, and they all gave me envious looks.
It felt good at first, but lately it’s become too much and it’s becoming a burden.
As I was walking along the road, I saw a familiar face from afar. It was Seo-yoon Choi, sitting on the bench with a straight face.
“… … “Why is he doing that again?”
As I muttered quietly, Hayoung Yoon spoke.
“They say they’re depressed because they didn’t get first place in the final exam.”
“ah……
Well, if it’s my first time getting first place, I might be able to do that.
Because Seojun Lee was like that during the last midterm exam.
I have no idea how it feels to have come up from the bottom.
“Tsk.”
It felt a bit unnecessary for me to offer comforting words, so I decided to just leave it as is.
The time has arrived at the Holer manifestation training site.
The apparition teacher, Lee Hee-young, looked at me and approached me smiling brightly as if she had been waiting.
“Student Sunwoo!”
“hello.”
As I bowed my head, he looked at me with amazed eyes, as he always did.
“I enjoyed watching Daejangjeon. I never thought I could use such a high-difficulty, wide-area magic. Thanks to you… … oh.”
Lee Hee-young stopped while speaking.
“A bet?”
“it’s nothing. Ho Ho.”
It looked suspicious, but it didn’t seem to have much to do with me, so I decided to ignore it.
“now! “Go in and train yourself.”
I nodded and entered the training ground.
As I entered, a long, straight space like a shooting range caught my eye.
The students were practicing magic at their respective seats.
After the final exam, students will do self-training instead of classes until the vacation.
This is because it is most efficient to refine what you have learned during the school year rather than learning something in the limited time left.
I broke up with Hayoung Yoon and moved to my place.
Next to me, Yuara was concentrating on training, spraying vicious flame spheres as usual.
Well then, I guess I should start training too.
Before starting training, I first examined my characteristics with the benefit of an outsider.
[Magic Control Art (A)][Training Value: 0.1%]
I got to the A grade I wanted, but since I haven’t used magic properly since then, I haven’t felt any changes.
It’s still the beginning of Grade A, but since the grade has risen, there will definitely be a significant change.
I plan to use this self-training time to really feel the change.
First of all, starting with ‘implementation’, which is the first step in manifestation magic.
Ugh.
Dots of white light gathered on my hand and began to take the shape of a sphere.
So far, there hasn’t been much difference from before.
Next, I used the ‘compressed implementation’.
While maintaining the shape of the sphere, the amount of magical power contained within was increased.
Ugh… … !
At the same time, the sphere trembled slightly, and the blue sphere gradually began to turn silver.
The speed of compression implementation is definitely faster than before.
It took a lot of time to implement compression and at the same time to implement a stable form, so it took a lot of time, but now the time has been shortened by almost twice.
I’m sure I can control magic since I’m in A grade.
My abilities have grown.
I smiled with satisfaction.
‘Is it possible to implement one level higher than this?’
As I felt that I had grown, a desire arose in my heart.
As much magic as I can compress. My new limit.
How far will it go?
[Activates the use effect, ‘Heart of Mother Nature.’]
Exciting!

After using the Heart of Mother Nature, the insufficient mana began to recover quickly.
I quickly recovered the mana that had become insufficient while concentrating on implementation and piled it back into the sphere again and again.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … !
The silver sphere floating above my hand was slowly trembling.
The efficiency of mana required for compression has increased significantly.
I felt it instinctively.
It is said that higher level magic can be implemented here.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … !
“hop!”
After about 3 minutes, a very slight change occurred in the sphere.
The silver light emanating from the sphere began to take on a very subtle golden color.
Silver mana symbolizes a grade A wizard. And, the symbol of S-grade mana is ‘gold’.
Although it took a long time of 3 minutes and was forced to be created, it succeeded in realizing golden magic.
My heart trembled with a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, the light was so soft that it was embarrassing to call it gold, but I couldn’t help but feel my heart tremble as I saw the golden color of my dream come to life in my hands.
I reached for the target.
I took a deep breath.
As it was, the magic was released towards the target.
Paaaan!
The soft golden magic sphere left my hand and moved forward, sweeping the surrounding air.
The aftereffect of the release pushed my body back significantly.
I felt a slight pain and tremor in my right arm where the magic had been released, perhaps because I had overused a magic that was not yet suitable for my abilities.
Simply releasing it can cause a lot of strain to the body. I could indirectly feel its destructive power.
I am magic that shoots forward quickly
saw The soft golden afterimage felt beautiful.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The magic hit the target and made a huge roar.
At the same time, a message appeared before my eyes.
[I am inexperienced, but I succeeded for the first time with the subtle golden mana sphere!]
[The training value of magic control skill (A) increases by 3%.]
[Magic power increases by 1.]
[Obtain 3,000 points.]
“……oh.”
Points were earned.
It’s a bonus to get 3% training points.
It’s still embarrassing to call it golden, so the reward was a little tight, but the important thing is that it has grown.
I smiled in satisfaction, then felt eyes on me and turned to the side.
Yuara looks at me with wide eyes.
I was looking at it.
After finishing all of my school schedule, I was lying on the sofa in my dorm watching the news.
[Next year, the list of participants for the Seongmu Festival, which is called the festival of promising magic artists, has been confirmed.]
The news anchor speaks in a calm voice.
I told you about the news.
Soon, photos of participating students from each school were listed.
The photo of the Korean Wizard Academy student was located in a prominent place in the center, so it was easy to find.
While I was watching the news, my smart student notebook rang an alarm.
[This Thursday, there will be a special optional activity.]
[Students, please select the activity of your choice.]
Special optional activities. The exam is over and there is not much time left until the vacation, but we will continue this time as well.
If I remember correctly, this special activity is closer to ‘travel’ than education or experience.
For third graders, it will be a graduation trip, and for first and second graders, it will be a last memory trip before the end of the school year.
1. Seoul Magic Stadium
2. Korean Magic Folk Village
3. Seoul Mystery Museum
“Hmm.”
According to the original story, nothing special happened that day.
It is only used briefly as a device to spread the seeds of future developments.
Still, just in case, it would be the right decision to follow Seojun Lee.
I immediately clicked on the message.
[Special OC]
I sent a message to Seojun Lee.
It may feel a little short and insincere, but since it’s between men, it doesn’t really matter.
When I sent the message, a reply came about 10 seconds later.
[Seoul Magic Stadium. you?]
” also.”
Seoul Magic Stadium.
It didn’t change from the original.
In the first place, wizard sports were popular with the public.
Because it is a very popular entertainment district, some students dream of becoming sports wizards in the future.
It is so popular that you can even dream of it.
[I go there too]
[Gyeonggi oki. Then this time it’s the same group
Do you want to do it?]
[-One]
After sending a reply, I accessed the school information system and selected ‘Seoul Magic Stadium’.
[Selection completed.]
After finishing work, I got up. The moment I was about to walk to the refrigerator to get a glass of water, an alarm rang on my smartphone.
[Jinwoo, what are you doing?]
It was Han Se-yeon.
Since I normally get calls around this time, I wasn’t particularly surprised.
［I’m just resting. What about Han Se-yeon?]
［I’m also taking a short break from work］
“eww ”
〒r.
While I was thinking about what to reply, the message arrived again.
[Have you ever heard from your father?]
Daehyun Han? There has been no further contact yet.
They said they would contact me once after our last meal. I don’t know what the sick person is doing, but he seems to be busy.
Or maybe they forgot my existence.
［Yes, not yet.］
[is it so? I asked just in case.
I hope your father will show interest in Jinwoo.]
He said he was interested in me.
It seems that Han Dae-hyun has not forgotten me.
Then, something suddenly occurred to me that I wanted to ask Han Se-yeon.
[But can you make a medicine that is 10 times more effective than the Hemp Na Elixir you made last time?]
Mana is needed to use the power of causality.
However, now that the power cannot be used due to insufficient mana, a means to supply the insufficient mana was needed.
Perhaps Han Se-yeon can solve this problem?
[10 times…? Why 10 times?]
[That’s because I have to use a lot of mana.]
[It’s 10 times harder. The drug that is 5 times better than the current drug has a stronger concentration.
You could make it somehow, but the side effects would be much stronger. If anything happens, you may develop a disability in your body.]
“… … hmm. “Is it still not possible?”
I expected it, but hearing it in person left me disappointed.
Even if it is possible, it cannot be used because it has severe side effects.
[all right. there’s nothing we can do.]
“… … Should I still use magic tools?”
According to my memory, there were several items that helped supply mana.
Because the relics owned by Zaun, ‘Mana Core’ and ‘Poseidon’ are items that exist to supply mana.
But they belong to Zaun.
I can’t get it with my own strength right now.
“eww. I don’t know.”
Someday there will be a way.
Wizard Academy Special Elective Activities Thursday at 10:00.
In front of the school’s main gate, close to 400 students were gathered at the main gate with faces full of excitement.
The total number of students was close to 450, but about 50 third-year students did not participate in the activities because they had confirmed graduation.
Among them was Kim Chang-hyun.
“Ah, I’m looking forward to today’s game. What you’re watching today is the championship game. But do you watch the game too?”
While I was waiting for the other group members to arrive, Seojun Lee asked me.
magic game.
It literally refers to a game where wizards fight each other, like a fighting sport.
What is different from the ‘underground arena’ that I saw with Han Se-yeon in the first semester is that the underground arena is dangerous enough that you could lose your life if you are not careful.
Magic competitions are held under strict and safe rules, so all ages can participate.
It is a legal game that can be watched.
“… … I don’t see it sometimes. “I just change the channel and watch it when it comes on.”
“Uhm. That’s mostly true. “I see it sometimes too, and it’s really cool.”
“It’s cool.”
I nodded.
At that time, a man and a woman approached us from afar.
Choi Seo-yoon and Jeon Min-ki were famous people known to everyone within the wizard academy.
“Seniors!”
Choi Seo-yoon smiled happily and said,
It approached and bowed its head.
After losing the final exam, he seemed depressed for a while, but he seemed to have recovered and was as bright as usual.
“Okay, now that everyone is gathered, let’s go.’’
Following the teacher’s instructions, we entered the portal gate.
At the same time, my eyes flashed and a huge amphitheater came into view.
” and.”
The students looked up at the building in amazement at its gigantic size.
It was reminiscent of the Colosseum, but it had been reconstructed with a much more modern, or even futuristic, design.
“Hey. “There’s a poster for champion Won Hyuk-jin!”
Someone pointed to a huge poster on the exterior wall of the building.
Champion Won Hyuk-jin.
He was an undefeated wizard who was close to the S rank, which was not typical of a sports player.
“Who is the opponent next to the poster? “Are you a rookie?”
“Yeah, I heard it’s the first game today.”
I followed the students and looked at the poster.
A familiar face.
It was a face I hadn’t seen in almost 10 months.
Unlike before, when she was skinny, she appears to have gained a little weight now.
Liangryang.
He was the champion of the underground arena and a villain who would later join Zaun as a member.
