49 – Romance (3)
In Soul World, there are skills that can evolve into characteristics.
First Aid prepares the basis for evolving into ‘Regeneration’, and Condensation changes into an attribute as the proficiency increases.
Like First Aid, which changes to regeneration, when a higher-level compatibility trait appears, the previous trait disappears. But it doesn’t completely disappear.
As I said earlier, it means that it ‘evolves’ as an upward compatibility trait, and there are very few cases where it does not exist.
‘You have to take it one step at a time in order to obtain upward compatibility.’
Take boxing and martial arts as an example. In the future, when I get various skills from Kara, boxing will disappear and evolve into fighting.
If this is the case, it means that boxing will be included in martial arts, but will not disappear.
But I was condensed and disappeared. It’s not that I gave or took it away, I don’t know what I’m doing.
I know that there is no case like this even after searching my memory. I would have skipped it if nothing had popped up from the beginning.
The only thing that takes is red magic. Since it was said to be compatible with red magic, it might have a big connection with this.
The abilities that Gloria will tell you about in the future should bring her magical powers to the surface, so it is highly likely that everyone will pay attention to her.
“Now that you’ve calmed down a bit, it’s time for me to teach you.”
After a period of not knowing if he had mastered condensation, Gloria’s teaching began.
She was glancing at me with an uneasy expression on her face, but I guess my behavior just before was a problem.
I thought I actually needed attention, so I put Kara right next to me. They are so close that their skin can touch each other with the slightest movement.
I also have Luna, but I’m not sure why she put on a collar, but there must be a reason. All I have to do is learn
“What I’m going to teach you is similar to condensation. It’s ‘work’.”
“Crafting? Isn’t that the word you use for polishing jewelry?”
“Exactly. Let me show you what it is.”
Seeing-
It is more effective to show once than to tell a hundred times. Gloria drew her sword herself rather than explain.
As if revealing what style she pursues, it is a sharp sword suitable for stabbing.
Wow-
Soon, a blue magic band began to form from the three swords. This is the situation that occurs when you put magic power into a weapon.
“As students know, if you put magical power into a weapon, you get various effects. The representative ones are durability and cutting power. You know this far, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then what would happen if I raised my mana to the maximum?”
“Doesn’t the power increase?”
Luna answered while tilting her head. Actually, that is also true.
The more mana you put into a weapon, the stronger it becomes. It is only unknown whether the weapon can withstand magic power.
When living in the forest, there were only weapons such as stone axes and stone spears, so they were only disposable. At least Ragnarok has a good chance of surviving.
“That’s true. But unless it’s an excellent weapon, it’s hard to contain more than a certain amount of magic power. Here’s the problem.”
Gloria, who was gently explaining her, raised one of her index fingers and brought up her question.
“What would happen if a weapon with more than the threshold magic power collided with another weapon?”
“Doesn’t it explode?”
Kara responded in a way close to her murmur. It was an answer that she could come out right away because she had gone through many real battles.
“That’s the correct answer. Let’s go bang!”
“Then why not increase the threshold with condensation?”
This time it was Luna’s question. Since she had learned condensation from Cronus earlier, she had enough doubts.
However, as Gloria explained at the beginning, condensation and pore are similar yet different.
Gloria seemed to have expected this kind of question, so she explained with a smile.
“That’s okay, but crafting isn’t that important. The key is how sharply you sharpen the surface magic. If condensation greatly increases storage space, crafting is the process of finely refining the magic itself.”
“Umm…”
Unable to understand, Luna tilted her head and let out her drool. She has an expression that she still doesn’t get a sense of.
I’ll give clay as an example to make it easier to understand. Condensation is the process of making clay as small as possible by touching it.
“You will be confused a lot. In fact, condensation and crafting have complementary properties. If you master condensation, you will get a sense of crafting, and conversely, if you become skilled in crafting, you will understand how condensation works.”
And handwork is the work of combing out the shape with the clay. This is why they are complementary.
If you look at this, you can say that it’s okay to just work without condensing. The bigger the clay, the easier it will be to work.
It doesn’t matter, but condensation is an ability that maximizes storage space, so learning is essential.
In addition, it is true that the larger the clay, the easier it is to refine, but the larger the volume to be touched, the more difficult it is.
“Then, shouldn’t you just learn one thing? I learned that you have to dig one well to succeed…”
Luna brought up her question with her head tilted as if she still didn’t understand. It seems you still don’t understand.
“That’s true too. But that’s rarely the case. Have you ever heard of this? It’s called ‘Manryu-gwijong’, and it’s from the East.”
“Ah! I’ve heard of it. All streams unite and flow into the sea. Isn’t that what you mean?”
Luna gave her answer in a rare lively tone. Her eyes, which had been subtly fierce, were filled with vitality.
What about Gloria? And to the point of bewilderment. There is another reason why she likes her so much.
‘Because the teacher told me.’
I remember the words that Luna’s teacher told me because of the setting. You probably didn’t know that these words came from the East.
She was excited because something she knew came up, and it even involved her teacher.
“That must have come from the East. I had no idea.”
“······Anyway! Both condensation and craftsmanship ultimately lead to the vast sea of magical power. In the end, both are nothing more than a process, and it’s up to each individual to decide the end. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I understand.”
“The thing to be aware of is that being good at mana doesn’t mean you’re good at martial arts or magic. Please remember this.”
Just because you have a high level of understanding of magic doesn’t mean you can slice through space like a rod.
Actually, my magic level is Ex, but my skills are empty. Counting cans like crazy
Hardware is great, but software is a gutter.
“This is a bit long. First, let me show you what craftsmanship is like.”
Ugh-
Gloria injected her magical power into her own sword again. Then she took her sword, which formed a faint blue band.
If you look at it this far, it’s an ordinary situation. If you simply put magic power into it, it will go away.
“Now if I can use crafts…”
Ugh!
As Gloria muffles her words and concentrates, her blue band shines brighter.
It was such a noticeable change that Luna as well as Kara looked at it with a curious expression.
Took-
Then Cronus silently dropped the ax onto the sword. It was the ax that had just struck his fist.
An ax that falls slowly from the blade unlike before. Originally, it would have just collided and ended, but…
Suddenly!
It was cut in half very neatly. The cutting power of the workpiece was demonstrated at once.
Toduk-
At last, a half-hipped ax that rolls on the floor without looking good. I don’t know why, but I feel miserable.
“As you can see, the cutting power has increased to a tremendous level, right? This is the power of craftsmanship. Unlike condensation, it is difficult to learn and difficult to master, but you will definitely…”
“Like this?”
As Gloria explains, Luna pulls out her sword and shows it. Her sword is surrounded by a clear blue band, though not as bright as Gloria’s.
However, the expressions of Gloria and Cronus were worth seeing. Because the feeling of what the hell was that was revealed.
Luna’s genius that she absorbs just by looking at it. Kara, who saw that, asked in an absurd tone.
“Hey. What the hell are you?”
“What is it?”
“How did you do that?”
“Isn’t it okay just to concentrate? I used the condensation I learned earlier.”
“··· ···”
Kara laughed at Luna’s unlucky answer. Just like the previous condensation, Luna’s genius was clearly revealed.
Perhaps by now Gloria and Cronus are seriously thinking about it. That we should bring Luna back to her homeland.
We actually had a fight about this. Even so, they all reconcile, saying that she cuts water with her sword.
“On the contrary, this is a bit difficult. I barely managed to concentrate.”
“That’s right, isn’t it? Originally, it was a bit hard to learn…”
Gloria speaks in a voice that lacks confidence. In fact, craftsmanship is easy to learn when someone teaches it.
Human beings aren’t stupid and can’t come up with the idea of sharpening their magical powers.
It’s difficult to study on your own, so you’re putting life magic into it. In other words, Luna is abnormal.
‘How do I do it? If I do this, the plan will be twisted?’
‘I don’t know. Condensation aside, I didn’t know how to quickly learn craftsmanship.’
For them, even if the originally planned schedule was twisted, it must have been tightly twisted. You can tell by looking at him like he is now.
I have good hearing, so I could hear all their conversations. The perplexity has reached here.
I was thinking of having a sweet relationship in the name of teaching Luna and me, but that seems to have been cut short.
‘It’s okay. There are still Sivar students left, right? There are also Kara students.’
‘That’s true, but… What if they both learn? What should I do then?’
‘I’ll teach you something else. I heard that Sivar’s student is learning martial arts from Kara’s student. She helps herself by her side.’
‘Okay. Then I’ll do it.’
Secret couples who revise their plans completely while chatting about each other. His ability to hold work and love at the same time is excellent.
Because he has such improvisation, he must have gone unnoticed by others. They are outstanding men and women in many ways.
“Hmm. Hmm. Luna student? It’s quick to learn, but it’s going to be difficult to master. In particular, unlike condensation, craftsmanship differs depending on one’s ability.”
Gloria, who had calmed her down, said to Luna. Crafting is one of her most difficult abilities to master.
Moreover, unlike condensation, it is an ability that does not evolve as an attribute. So, you might ask, isn’t condensation a disadvantage?
“Then isn’t condensation relatively unimportant?”
“Absolutely not. Crafting consumes a lot of mana as much as you have to concentrate. Besides, if you lose concentration, you can’t do crafts.”
Strength is soup, agility is king. Condensation suits muscular strength, and craftsmanship suits agility.
Condensation is advantageous for long-term warfare, but the decisive part is insufficient. On the other hand, there is a decisive one shot in handwork, but it is disadvantageous in the long term.
While adjusting this well, the magic stat must also be raised decisively. It’s all an intertwined relationship.
‘I felt like playing Dark Souls when I played Agility.’
Strength characters are good to make the game easier. This is because an agile character is a concept that perfectly suits the ‘glass cannon’.
Therefore, there are many cases in which deceased figures only shoot agility and speedrun. I’ve been like that too.
“Depending on the combat method, it is up to the Luna student to choose whether to invest in condensation or craftsmanship. Condensation if you are considering long-term battles and power struggles, or craft if you consider powerful attacks and evasions. Like this.”
“Then what should I focus on? I’m a follower of Gulag-nim.”
Then she raised her hand as if curious about Kara and asked. Unlike the general division of occupations, she is a religious character.
Even wizards can obtain various effects by learning Condensation and Crafting. Condensation is the power of magic, craftsmanship is accuracy, and so on.
On the other hand, faith characters are a little ambiguous. Magical power is important, but faith plays a more important role.
“Student Kara…Is a bit vague. She’s met so many clerics, but she’s all different except for one.”
“What parts were the same?”
“Worshiping the god you worship. Other than that, everything has a different direction, so it’s hard to give advice.”
Religion has a big and small effect on overall stats. Think of Porori even if you don’t have to go far.
He’s a lot smaller than me, but he’s strong and really fast. He used to be like that, but after he got the thunderbolt he got faster.
The same goes for Kara and Hector. From the moment lightning strikes the body, overall stats and abilities rise significantly.
Isn’t this a good faith character? You could say However, if you raise it without knowing anything, you will get hurt.
It’s insanely weak in the beginning. Even more so, it is very difficult to nurture because it can change to multi-talented as much as it is versatile.
‘If you get caught by Chaos…’
Really awful. In fact, the faith route must be abandoned.
[I insulted God. Faith declines.]
I almost said…! Long live Chaos!
[Faith rises.]
‘Huh…’
I sighed inwardly at the feeling of going back and forth between heaven and hell.
From noble mtl dot com
I don’t know why I have to manage my faith when I haven’t taken the faith route.
I didn’t come to this world because I wanted to. Come to think of it, I’m sick of it.
“Shivar students? Shall we try Shibar students?”
I was lamenting my life in my heart when Gloria called me. It seems to be Nine after Kara.
It wouldn’t hurt to know about red magic at this point. I quietly raised her hand at her call.
Wow!
Soon, red magic shimmered in my hand, and it changed into a shape resembling a beast’s claw.
Rod was in charge of Ragnarok, and I was afraid that it would explode if I used another weapon.
For now, I have no choice but to show my magic power.
“······ Red color? Why is magic power red?
“Big! Big!”
Embarrassed, Gloria almost made a mistake without even realizing it. Cronus managed to get rid of it by making his clearing cough louder, but you could doubt it.
“Is it red? Was there such a thing as red magic?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
Of course, Kara doesn’t have that. Fortunately, it was thanks to the fact that my eyes were sold on my red magic power.
Looks like everyone here doesn’t know much about red magic. This is a bit disappointing
“Gloria… Isn’t everyone’s magical power blue?”
“For now, it is. However, there are occasional cases where the color of magic power changes. But most of the time it is green or indigo blue.”
“How about both?”
“Green is for people with severe mental defects. Strictly speaking, they are people with intellectual problems. Normal thinking itself is difficult. Also, it is sometimes used by monsters with superior intellect. Most of those monsters can speak a little bit of language. I know how to do it.”
I once said that magic has a lot to do with ‘intelligence’. If there is a problem with that intellect, the color of the magical power changes.
Humanity belongs to the high level of the red, orange, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, green, yellow, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, white, green, green, white, green, white, red, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, blue, green, blue, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, green, blue, green, green, blue, green, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, green, blue, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, green, blue, green, green, blue, green, blue, green and blue.
It is said that God helped, but it is proving the great intelligence of mankind from the achievement of a huge ‘civilization’.
“On the contrary, only those who have realized the law of the sky should be able to use indigo, that is to say Lord-sama. But red…”
So red magic goes beyond being mentally flawed and means that intelligence itself doesn’t exist.
As long as it sticks to that principle. But I’m by no means stupid.
“Me.”
“Huh?”
“Stupid. Not.”
So I protested. Magic is strange, it’s not my intellect that’s the problem.
It’s hard for me to speak the language because of my goddamn faith, but that doesn’t mean I can’t understand it.
“Oh gu oh gu. Did you? My Sivar. Are you angry because I called you an idiot?”
Whether I protest or not, Kara was busy teasing me by pinching my cheeks. It’s a very cute look.
If I protested here again, I would be ridiculed, so I stayed still. Instead, he didn’t erase the blunt expression.
“As expected… My prediction was correct.”
By the way, Gloria, why do you look confident? What the hell are you looking at
For a while, Gloria clapped her hands! She chimed in and spoke in her typical friendly tone.
“The important thing is not the red magic power. The important thing is whether or not you can use the craftsmanship. Wouldn’t a Sivar student try it?”
“Hmm…”
Condensation is easy, but work seems to be a bit difficult. It seems difficult to do it all at once like Luna.
In addition, the power of red magic itself is high, so you need to be careful in everything. In response, I turned to the empty space, not to them.
‘With the sense gained through condensation…’
I gathered the mana that was enveloping my hand little by little with the tip of my index finger. Rather than condensation, it is a work closer to craftsmanship.
The thing I used to slaughter in the forest was the magic power. That alone had enough power, so there was no condensation, crafting, or anything else.
‘If condensation is simply the process of making clay smaller, craftsmanship is the process of finely refining clay.’
I don’t know who it was, but it was explained really well. I kept that in mind and concentrated on it.
The mana that was wrapped around his hand is gradually gathered at the tip of his index finger, condensing it, and at the same time using the craftsmanship.
I had no choice but to focus on it as it was an ability that Luna had to concentrate on to use. Plus, it’s so powerful that it’s hard to control.
Weiying-
The red mana gathered at the fingertips before long. Thanks to the roughness of the workpiece, it is not bumpy but round.
“······Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
“It’s okay. Even if the workmanship fails, it just scatters, but it doesn’t bounce anywhere.”
“That’s a word that only works for us, Shibar’s magic is red. It’s something ominous…”
I heard Luna and Gloria chatting in the background. Luna looks uneasy after seeing my actions.
hahahahaha, I can understand since he exploded his eccentricity during condensation just now. I tried to ignore it and focus on it.
So when the red magic formed on the tip of my index finger took the shape of a round sphere.
[Ability: Craftwork has been learned!]
A notification window saying that I had acquired the craftsmanship unfolded in front of my eyes.
This is where my concentration was broken in the first place.
[The wild instinct is activated!]
[Ability: Compatible with Red Magic!]
[Ability: Tooling has been removed!]
As with condensation, I was secondarily distracted by the notification that the ability was deleted.
Originally, it is normal for craftsmanship to disappear naturally when concentration is broken.
But was it because my magic stat was too high, or was it a problem with the red magic itself?
“Uh, huh?”
The red mana that was clumped at the fingertips did not dissipate. On the contrary, they are making a fuss to get out somehow.
Now my instincts are telling me. It’s going to be a big deal if we go on like this. I mean do something.
Without time to panic, I hurriedly reached up. Somehow, I got into a posture where I stretched my fingers up to the sky.
Pyong!
At last, the red magic power protruded from the tip of my index finger.
It was shot toward the ceiling at high speed, leaving a red afterimage as if it were shooting some kind of laser.
“What…”
People in the back looked up at the ceiling like me, bewildered.
The private training ground is smaller than the public training ground, but the ceiling is the same size.
That means the ceiling is quite high. As for why I’m saying this.
Kwaguawang!!!
The red mana fired like a laser exploded as soon as it hit the ceiling.
The ceiling flashed red for a moment, then exploded with a huge explosion.
Password-
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
A huge hole has occurred in the ceiling of the private training ground. People watched the hole whether or not debris and debris fell.
All of them look like they are at a loss for words. It seems that he is not at all sure about how to accept this situation.
“Whew.”
In the meantime, I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked up at the cool, open level ceiling. Frankly, it was very risky.
I tend to build strong personal training grounds out of concern for this to happen. But I ignored all that and smashed the ceiling.
I got goosebumps wondering what would have happened if I had raised it even a little.
For now, only the ceiling has been shattered. There was a reason to adjust the mana.
‘There’s also a check system.’
There is also a check system. Until now, the only way to keep them in check was to throw their weapons.
But as of today, we have a clear checkpoint. Consuming mana is a stumbling block, but it’s better than not having it at all.
Anyway, what did you say about this attack? I thought about it, and then I cried out softly.
“Death! Beam!”
I got romance as of today.
“····································································· But I know that the president will scold you a lot.”
“How can you have an accident like this once a day…”
I lost people’s trust again.
So somehow the accident was settled.
“Raise your hands straight up! Don’t get down until I tell you to!”
“Strong…”
“Don’t be mean! I know you’re fine!”
Rod brought me to my knees and made me raise my arms. It was the first time he ever punished me.
“Take your hands off the wall! You’re already rolling your hair!”
“Huh.”
It’s really hard.
DEATH BEAM
