115 – Academy Competition_2
The training of mana talents is typically divided into two types.
The first is physical function improvement training.
The second is mana refining and podium training.
Although the names of training are grandiose, in simple terms, the first physical function improvement training refers to aerobic and anaerobic exercise that develops strength or endurance.
This is a training mainly performed by combatants with mana abilities.
The second, mana refinement and refinement training, is to increase the amount of mana in the body by accepting the mana spread in the air through meditation and converting it into the most efficient pure mana by filtering impurities.
The human body is different for each individual, but there is something called the mana capacity that can be held, so it is not easy to increase the amount even if you try to increase the amount of mana.
Of course, the more you train, the more your mana capacity increases, but the increase isn’t that high.
If you are going to accumulate mana in such a situation, even if you use the same magic, it is more efficient and it is good to increase powerful pure mana. This is a training that is mainly done by those with magic-type mana abilities or those with healing-type mana abilities.
So, if you came to train properly, Olivia or Lee Seong-hyeon, a martial arts class, would do her first training, physical function improvement training, and magic class Marie, her second training, mana refinement and podium training, would be correct.
“Can I do this?”
“Take your back out a little more… Yes, that’s it. Keep that position and look down.”
By the way, what kind of training is Marie doing right now?
The first training, not the second.
In other words, he was training like Olivia and Lee Seong-hyun.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t train to improve physical function just because you’re a magician.
It’s just a prejudice that just because you’re a wizard, you have to have weak physical abilities.
Among the wizards, there were people with bodies comparable to martial arts.
But.
“Sunghyun, next training together…”
“Sung Hyun-ah, how can I do this?”
“Ah, that’s—”
When Olivia calls for cooperative training, she accidentally starts a new exercise and asks for help.
“Seonghyun, can you take a look at your posture? I’ve never used this kind of magic tool, so I don’t know how…”
“Seonghyeon-ah, help me!!!”
When Olivia tries to ask for her advice, she intercepts her as if she was aiming for that time.
Besides.
“Let’s go to the simulation side soon…”
“Seong Hyun-ah. Is this posture correct?”
“I wonder if it would be better to increase the weight a little…”
“Seong Hyun-ah. How do you use this magic tool?”
“…”
Even when telling a simple story. Even if you try to have a discussion during a break. Seeing Mari intervene, did she really come to train properly? I had a question.
No, it wasn’t just training, it was to the point where I felt as if he had come to disturb me.
‘Isn’t that so?’
Olivia shook her head slightly.
Marie can’t do that.
It is also true that Marie, if not as much as Lee Seong-hyun, is a person who did not turn away from herself, which she was shunning because of her sister’s work.
It’s just a leap for her to come to disturb him.
It’s just a coincidence.
I do physical training because I am interested.
Isn’t there a saying that wizards envy the bodies of martial arts?
And since a minimum amount of physical training is required even for magicians, there is nothing strange about it.
The overlapping words were just bad timing.
Yes, that would be correct.
Interfering is nonsense.
Where is the reason to interrupt?
It’s not that Marie likes Lee Seong-hyun and is jealous of the relationship between herself and Lee Seong-hyun.
‘It can’t be.’
Olivia shook her head slightly.
Marie can’t like Lee Seong-hyun.
Hasn’t the story circulated in class A that Mari is like that with Chun Yoo-seong?
From noble mtl dot com
Mari was in denial, but she wouldn’t have baseless rumors going around, and seeing that she appeared as a partner in the last Mutou festival, there was some credibility.
So it can’t be.
And even if they are jealous, Olivia and Lee Seong-hyun are just friends.
We are close friends, we train together sometimes, we talk when we meet, and sometimes we call each other when we are lonely in the evening and we get encouragement.
At least that much.
It’s not even a great relationship to feel jealous of.
We are just friends.
‘…’
Olivia stopped what she was doing for a moment.
For some reason, one side of her heart felt numb.
‘Why are you doing this…?’
Unexplained pain.
Olivia wondered if something was wrong with her, so she turned her mana to check her condition, but she couldn’t find any problems.
‘Is it an illusion?’
Anyway, there was no way Marie would have intentionally acted like that.
Everything is an illusion and just a coincidence.
I’m sure it will.
“Awesome, can I touch it?”
“It’s a bit embarrassing.”
“Can’t you?”
“That’s not true. If you touch it, it will only be hard, but it won’t feel good.”
“I still want to touch it.”
It was time for Olivia to stop worrying for a while and move her body to get back into her training.
A strange conversation was flowing from the side.
‘What now?’
Olivia wondered if she had heard it wrong, so she hurriedly turned her head and looked to her side.
Then what came into view was a rather strange scene.
Marie stretched out her hand to Lee Seong-hyun, who took off her outerwear, her eyes twinkling.
Before long, his hand touched Seonghyun Lee’s bare skin.
After that, I touched it as if I was sweeping it up, and then I grabbed it and touched it.
The biceps.
“Ummm…”
Olivia looked away.
She never misunderstood.
Really.
“It’s hard.”
“You said so.”
He should have come for training rather than that, but I wonder if he’s flirting too much.
Of course, training has the meaning of self-satisfaction, so if you are satisfied. Although the goal to be achieved did not have to be like yourself. Still, if you decide to train early in the morning on the weekend, isn’t it right to work hard?
On top of that, I wondered if it would be a nuisance for Lee Seong-hyeon to constantly ask for instruction when he said that he was helping him in his training and could hardly train himself.
I’m not saying that Marie is a nuisance.
Marie is a magician, so it’s only natural that she’s not familiar with martial arts physical training.
So it’s not wrong to ask for help.
Physical training basically requires correct posture to see the proper effect, and if you train with the wrong posture, you may develop wrong habits and cause side effects.
Sure.
‘I’ll have to help.’
There is no other reason.
It is to make time for Lee Seong-hyun to train and to help Mari train properly.
She’s a posture.
‘That’s all.’
Olivia muttered an excuse that wasn’t her excuse and moved her steps toward Lee Seong-hyun and her Marie.
“The veins are also clear.”
“I’ve often been told that it looks good for injections.”
“I really think so. If I were a nurse, I would really like this lineage.”
“Kuhm.”
Olivia cleared her throat slightly.
“Olivia?”
Seonghyun Lee tilted his head.
She seemed curious as to why she had come.
“What’s up?”
“No problem. Rather than that, can I help her train from now on?”
“Marie’s training?”
“Yes. It’s because I don’t care that Mari is a newbie in training here, and she is only absorbed in her training, stealing your training time and leaving your luggage. As a classmate, I should have paid more attention, but I didn’t. Won’t you please give me a chance to make up for it?”
“It’s okay, Mari invited me to train with her in the first place. Olivia, take your time—”
“Make up for it.”
“Really good…”
“Aren’t there some moves that are difficult to help between members of the opposite s*x? So-“
Seonghyun Lee could not refuse Olivia’s continued request and looked at Marie.
“Recovery, on the contrary, I feel like I’m interfering with their training, so I’m sorry…”
Marie slurred her words.
“It is never a hindrance. Friends help each other, isn’t it natural? I’m sorry I couldn’t pay more attention on this side.”
“No. I’m more sorry So…”
“It’s okay.”
“…Really? Then can I lean on your favor for a while?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Marie moved to beside Olivia.
“Then I’ll do some personal training for a while.”
“Okay. Leave it to me.”
“Yes, Sung Hyun-ah.”
Lee Seong-hyun I looked at those two and left for personal training.
“…”
“…”
As Lee Seong-hyun disappeared from sight, silence lingered between Olivia and Marie.
It was because we were close and even though we were in the same class, we weren’t that close to each other to be honest.
So Olivia pondered for a while, wondering how she should speak up.
“Olivia, may I ask you a question?”
Marie opened her mouth.
“A question?”
As for training…
“No big deal. It’s just a question I’ve asked before. I want to ask you again.”
It’s not about training, it’s a question you’ve asked before?
I couldn’t remember.
Still, there was no way Marie would ask strange questions.
Olivia nodded her head.
“What is it?”
“Are you dating Sunghyun?”
“What, what now…”
What are you talking about?
Are you dating Seonghyun Lee?
I wonder if I heard it correctly.
Olivia looked at Marie with a puzzled expression as if she had asked the right question.
“Are you dating?”
And as if to confirm that she hadn’t heard wrong, she was Marie asking the same question again.
“No.”
I am not dating.
We are just friends.
In the first place, there is no time or space to date.
Guild work, sister’s work, and other things to be done. There are a lot of things to be done.
It’s not a situation where you’re going to lose your eye.
Can’t even sell it.
“Really? Then do you like it?”
‘Do you like it?’
I don’t know.
She had never had such feelings before.
It was difficult to judge exactly what emotions she was feeling right now.
However, she sometimes thought that she would miss her at night when it rained.
She was happy when we continued the conversation on a common topic.
How was it when you trained together?
I don’t know much about her likes.
Something.
The favor was there.
“…No.”
But I can’t do you any favors.
Even though public opinion inside the academy has calmed down for a while now, it doesn’t change that she is the younger brother of a supervillain.
In such a situation, if she shows her favor, she may become a nuisance to her opponent.
Because nothing has been resolved.
I know that even if I tell her Marie, she won’t be spreading it all over the place.
If you drop a tee once.
And if he finds out.
To him who helped me this far just because he was my friend.
Because I thought it was a bigger burden.
Olivia shook her head hard.
“…Really? Then, Olivia, can you do me one favor?”
Marie stared at Olivia for a moment in the direction where Lee Seong-hyun disappeared.
It was an expression of determination.
“What do you mean?”
“That’s-“
Why?
My heart was pounding.
