Episode 92
Chapter 19 Interest is compound interest (2)
“If he tries to drive it out, he says he will go to Lashar right away.”
Shaking his shoulders, Walter stopped and looked back with a creak.
“I’ll try my hand so there’s no formal disposition for about a month, so hold on with the mindset that you’re going to get rid of it.”
The advice was not to hesitate to threaten Allens if necessary.
There is no need to stand up fairly to a cowardly person, right?
“I’m not an idiot, and what are you doing with threats that don’t make sense?”
When dealing with animals that have not even become human, they do not appreciate it even if they treat them with courtesy.
I’m just mistaken that I deserve to be treated like that.
‘There’s no way I’ll ever hear of people who don’t speak the language persuading them with words.’
It’s better to just treat them at that level.
For at least a month or so, if you threaten in the same way, you will be able to sit back and hold on until you are appointed.
After being silent for a moment, Walter bowed his head and apologized once again.
But I wasn’t looking at him anymore. I was lost in thought with my arms crossed.
‘I thought you knew I’d just shut up and be quiet.’
Victims of bullying or bullying are often unable to openly tell what has happened to them.
Shame that I’ve been through this.
Or the fear that something worse might happen.
Ankle is stuck for various reasons.
It is also one of the reasons why school violence is getting worse.
When I was in the student council, it gave me headaches in many ways.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m that type.
‘I’m the type of guy who jumps up and grabs the other person as soon as he knows he’s been hurt.’
Thanks to this, hostility toward Allens flared up.
‘I guess he looks like him… … .’
Every time they go to and from the training ground, they secretly roll their eyes or whisper.
Among them, there is one blond guy whom I often see.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that the Allen Jeremy had spoken of was him.
‘I just thought he was uncomfortable with my existence.’
If it was more than that, it would explain why he did this.
‘Because he became a knight through connections, he has a lot of inferiority complex… … .’
Maybe he didn’t like the fact that I, a mediocre man, took over a few private training grounds.
It’s not that I don’t understand Allen’s position, but I can’t sympathize with him.
I wouldn’t do anything cheesy and crude like this just because an outsider I didn’t like came in.
Allens’ bullying wasn’t direct, but it was enough to indirectly build up the unpleasant feeling.
So I think you should pay it back to feel better.
‘How am I going to kill that bastard?’
I was lost in thought for a while, thinking about how to do it, but I heard the sound of a horse crying from afar.
It was in the direction of the stable.
‘Come to think of it.’
Wasn’t it the horse manure that Walter and Jeremy brought today?
It reminded me of learning how to ride a horse several times at the recommendation of Lachar.
I got up from my seat as I was fiddling with the ring on my left hand.
Turning around, I went to find neither Rashar nor Chentler.
“So, you want me to teach you magic?”
It was Ahel that I didn’t want to go to on my feet if possible.
He was staying at the far end of the east corridor on the 5th floor of the mansion and greeted me with a bright face.
‘It’s hard to read inside, so I didn’t want to get involved as much as possible.’
Contrary to my likes and dislikes, I knew long ago that I would find him.
In the meantime, ‘knowledge’ has never come out of the random box.
From what I’ve experienced so far, the probability of getting knowledge related to magic with a random box is not high.
That’s why I thought I should find a way to learn magic on my own rather than relying on a low probability.
“yes.”
“Is the price exchanged for magical power?”
“Yes.”
Spatial magic has infinite uses.
However, if you look at the objective figures, Ahel’s magical power is lower than mine.
‘So I’ll have to get another one.’
This was the reason why he suggested adding classes to the magic exchange.
“If you accept this condition, I will also consider exchanging magical energy periodically.”
Ahel will accept my offer with a high probability.
‘The higher the grade, the thicker the concentration of magic.’
It is more efficient to take 10 of my own magic than simply gaining 100 of each type of 2nd grade basic elemental magic.
So, the higher the grade, the stronger the smell of magical power.
‘Come to think of it, I need to learn how to hide the reverberation.’
If I can’t hide it, it will be like going around shouting the grade of my elemental magic.
‘I don’t need to expose my power with my feet.’
Now that we are preparing our forces in earnest, we have plenty of time to learn.
Ahel just stared at me for a moment.
“Huh.”
but soon
“great! In addition to the exchange of magical power, classes are added.”
He accepted my offer with a smile on his face.
“Let’s start with the basics and do it step by step.”
From that day on, I started learning magic right away.
* * *
It’s been 15 days since I found out who was the ringleader of the bullying.
I stopped by the stable and filled two buckets.
Then, holding them in both hands, he headed for the training ground.
When I thought of repaying the resentment that had accumulated over the past 15 days with interest, my heart was already excited.
In the meantime, Walter and Jeremy have come to warn me.
Be careful, Allen is plotting something again.
In fact, there have been several incidents such as dropping flower pots from upstairs or splashing water on them.
Of course, thanks to the shield, there was no additional damage.
‘That’s not a reason to forgive Allens.’
It’s a full moon. It has been 15 months since he devoted himself to magic with the determination to repay his grudge.
Having finished all the preparations, I took action, and the result is now.
“Ouch! E-what is this?!”
“Oooh!”
Allens, who was cantering with the other knights, was covered in horse manure.
That horse manure is what I personally picked up from a stop at the stable a while ago.
It was, of course, me who dropped the horse manure on Allens’ head.
‘Ahel’s magical power was received from the accumulated magic tool from the random box.’
Magic was also mastered to the point where minimal implementation was possible.
Thanks to that, every time I checked the status window that was pushed to the left side of my field of view, the corners of my mouth curled up.

‘It’s good.’
From hunting several times, destroying Meseo, and learning movement magic through characteristic buffs.
It’s been less than a month since I moved to Bihar, and quite a lot has changed.
Furthermore, with this incident, he even came up with a way to learn magic without using the shop.
‘Of course, it has the downside of taking time.’
Estimatedly, it would take several months to learn a single spell in an ordinary case.
There are close to a hundred types of magic arrangements alone to move a single life form.
It would be better to memorize them one by one and go hunting while practicing.
Of course, for me, it is a disadvantage that is slightly mitigated and applied.
So, I learned the art of moving objects in just 15 days.
‘I didn’t know that assimilation traits would be helpful in this way.’
Talents, assimilation, that have been in my status bar since the very beginning of this game.
Until now, it was thought that it was simply a trait that increased the probability of acquiring skills through routes other than the store, and also helped raise proficiency.
But it wasn’t such a simple trait.
‘In order to acquire a skill without the help of a shop, it is necessary to realize the skill on its own.’
Assimilation was a characteristic that intervened in the overall process.
‘It’s a crazy trait.’
It was to the point that if I had to pick one thing that I could not replace with anything in my hand, I would pick Donghwa.
Thanks to that characteristic, it was not a problem to memorize the order of magic that was easily understood.
Since I was a child, I had a good memory.
If it was basic memorization, I was confident that I would not lose to anyone.
‘I was prepared to memorize the code of conduct, but this is just chewing gum.’
When I was in high school, my dream was to become a prosecutor.
So, sometimes when I was bored, I would look through the specialized books my mother used.
It was not uncommon to memorize favorite provisions in advance.
Thanks to that, there was no resistance to the 2,000-page book titled ‘Basic Magical Arrangement’ that Ahel gave.
‘I didn’t know there was a Pythagorean theorem in a fixed array.’
Other than that, I could see a few things I learned in my high school math course.
My memory was fuzzy, so I had to review it after receiving the standard mathematics through Ahn Ki-jun.
When the rules included in the arrangement were organized, the memorization speed increased several times.
“Aww!”
As a result, I was able to see Allens’ light in my eyes in 15 days.
I took my eyes off the status window and listened to Allens’ sweet screams.
It’s 9 am now.
It is a time for all knights except for those guarding the mansion to do joint physical training and tactical training.
In the meantime, I tend to sneak in and do physical training together.
Their basic training is at the level of pushing the body of a losing player to the limit.
Today, however, he is leisurely watching at the personal training ground.
Sitting on the chair I had brought beforehand, with my legs crossed, I was leisurely.
All I had to do this morning was to watch Allens run amok to shake off the horse manure he was covered with.
‘I have to pour it diligently.’
I stretched out my index finger and thumb to make a gun shape and started arranging my magic power.
And after about a minute or so.
“It’s bread.”
fired one more shot. made specially thick.
It was a work that was painstakingly performed by stuffing a tissue in one’s nose and even gagging in vain.
Wearing that, Allen began to blaze even harder.
This won’t be done just once.
I was persistent, persistent enough to feel petty, because I planned to make him suffer from the smell of horse manure every time he breathed for the next few days.
What Allen had done to me was not a clear deal of give and take.
It was one-sided hostility and unreasonable violence.
‘It was only to the extent that it was a bit of a slap.’
The root of the action does not change.
‘Because it is my belief to repay both grace and enemies with interest and compound interest.’
A few minutes for me to target Allens and heat up horse dung training.
Allen seemed to realize that this started with me.
Probably because he started approaching me with a terrifying face.
“You are… … !”
Before he finished speaking, I immediately connected the mana that I had arranged in advance.
“Wow!”
“Goal in.”
Thanks to this, we were able to give Allens, who had opened his mouth to say something, the rare experience of tasting horse manure.
‘You’re behind now, you bastard.’
It would be nice to look forward to it. I’ll make you regret fighting with me forever.
I raised the corners of my mouth as I watched Allen, who was busy scraping the inside of his mouth, gagging.
