26 – World 11. Magic Practice (4)
“First, tell me about Lee Seong-min’s fighting style. What kind of weapon do you mainly use?”
“It’s a great sword.”
“Greatsword… that’s good. It matches the look of Lee Sung-min’s armor. Oh, do you fight mainly with strength and speed? Almost without technology?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I hoped. There is a practice method that is just right for you.”
Karina narrowed down the list of exercises and only listed one.
I read the practice method.
[Volcanic eruption technique]
“…”
I should have expected it from Karina when she said she learned how to practice the breeze.
It was an unusual practice from the name.
“Is there only this practice method?”
“It can’t be. I only showed you the exercises that I recommend the most. Can I show you something else?”
“Yes.”
In response to my answer, Karina raised a few more exercises.
[Tree Root Technique]
[Geosan seniority method]
[Red rock technique]
[Sea Tsunami Technique]
‘Well.’
As expected, I couldn’t get a sense of what kind of seniority method it was based on the name alone.
“Can you explain?”
“It is not difficult. I’ll explain one by one, so look here.”
Karina pressed the tree root technique first.
Along with it, an anatomical diagram of the human body appeared, revealing the shape of muscles and translucent organs.
Also, if you look closely, you can see that there are small blue dots on the anatomical chart of the human body.
“This is the tree root practice method. This blue dot on the body is the magic point. Just like this, you can learn the tree root practice method by taking magic points and connecting them.”
“It’s not just one or two.”
“Human muscles are not just one or two. If you look, starting from the back muscles such as trapezius and latissimus dorsi, parts such as deltoids and forearms are also marked with magic points, and these magic points protect the muscles and greatly increase their power.”
After hearing Karina’s words, I looked at the anatomy again and realized that it was much more detailed than I thought.
It was to the extent that I felt professionalism as I did not know anything.
‘Yes, the name is not important.’
I asked with the prejudice creeping up in my head far away.
“What are the characteristics of this practice?”
“If you look closely here, the soles of your feet. Do you have a lot of magic points on your foot? The root of the tree imbues mana into the ground, and it is a technique that gathers power throughout the body to deliver a powerful blow.”
“Not bad.”
“The downside is that it takes time to gather strength.”
But the downside was fatal.
“Wouldn’t it be great if it took time?”
“I heard that once you get used to it, it only takes 2-3 seconds.”
All I could think was that it wasn’t even 2-3 seconds.
“What about the second?”
“Geosan seniority method. It is a practice that expresses the intimidation of the giant mountain. It can put physical pressure on nearby enemies.”
“What about the third?”
“The red rock technique. It is a technique that is characterized by increasing muscle strength and strengthening the body.”
Come to think of it, do these practices have any downsides?
I remembered and asked Kim.
“Are there any downsides?”
“The Geosan technique has the disadvantage that you cannot move well yourself. The downside is that the red rock doesn’t have anything special about it.”
Now, it seems that all exercises have their downsides.
‘In that sense, I don’t think a red rock would be bad.’
First of all, it was great that there were no noticeable drawbacks.
“Tell me about the sea tsunami technique.”
“The sea tsunami technique is a technique of attacking with full magical energy in the weapon. It can also exert overwhelming power as long as its magic power allows.”
For some reason, the downside came to mind.
“The downside is that the mana wears out quickly, right?”
“that’s right.”
Also.
However, there was no big problem.
‘Because I can drink the potion of the game item.’
Thinking about it, I pointed out that part and asked.
“If you can continue to recover your mana, wouldn’t it be nice to do a sea tsunami technique?”
“If Lee Seong-min had a job that involved purely using a sword, I would have recommended it, but it’s not. You’ve mastered the summoning skill, right?”
“A summoning skill?”
“Yes. The summoning skill is a method of summoning by removing maximum mana. If Lee Seong-min uses summoning as his main focus, the sea tsunami won’t be as powerful.”
To put it simply, if I had 100 mana, I would take 50 out of them and use them for summoning.
Then the magic power I can use is also 50.
If you’re used to it, it was a familiar way.
‘Certainly, I can’t give up the summoning I’ve learned so far.’
I nodded in understanding and decided to check the last exercise.
This is the volcanic eruption technique recommended by Karina.
“How about the volcanic eruption technique?”
“There is a reason I recommended it. The increase in stats compared to magical power is to the point that no other technique can catch up.”
Karina moved her hand again and showed how to perform a volcanic eruption.
“If you look closely here, there are magic points stamped on your head, too, right? It is a technique that unleashes the limits of the brain and demonstrates much greater power and speed than before.”
If what he was saying now was true, it was a pretty good practice.
“Instead, the downside is… Mr. Lee Seong-min, if you treat a volcanic eruption as a person’s emotions, what do you think of?”
human emotions?
Isn’t that usually anger?
There is a saying that anger explodes.
I thought about that and said just in case.
“Is it anger?”
“Yes, that’s right. The downside of a volcanic eruption is that anger flares up.”
“…”
wait, maybe that
“Isn’t it a berserker?”
“No. I don’t lose my sanity like a berserker. Besides, if you just stop practicing, it will go back to normal.”
Karina, who was extremely unfaithful to my words as a berserker, continued her explanation.
“Lee Seong-min said that he fights only with strength and speed, excluding technique, so this technique came to mind. Now, if Lee Seong-min’s abilities and seniority are combined, he won’t be able to stop any thugs.”
I guessed from the time I recommended it, but Karina seemed to want me to learn this technique.
Certainly, if I fought without hesitation with my current armor appearance and abilities, the feeling of intimidation would be enormous.
Those who watched the battle would shrink their bodies on their own.
Karina seemed to have calculated and recommended that as well.
‘It’s a volcanic eruption…’
but. Anger isn’t necessarily bad.
Moreover, since he is also a regressor, he did not deny that his eyes were superior to mine.
Seeing my troubled face again, Karina spoke confidently.
“There is nothing wrong with the seniority method, so don’t worry. If that happens, I will take responsibility.”
“Are you responsible?”
“Yes.”
Karina didn’t seem to know how scary that word was.
However, even if it wasn’t my current words, I nodded my head, having chosen the half-volcanic eruption technique.
“I’ll do it with a volcanic eruption.”
“Good idea. After I memorize it, I’ll help you score magic points. Ren, you too. Now I’m going to find out how to do your exercises.”
Having decided on my practice method, Karina smiled brightly and started choosing Ren’s method as well.
* * *
that evening.
After serving a dinner of steak and potatoes, everyone lifted the tableware with expectant eyes.
Of course, Hayden, who is more serious about food than anyone else, left a short exclamation as soon as he took a bite.
“That’s great too. The meat is meat, but the sauce is fantastic.”
Hayden put on a happy expression every time he ate.
My lifelong wish was to eat three delicious meals, so it was understandable.
Following Hayden’s exclamation, Karina spoke with a similar exclamation.
“You cook very well. It’s the first time I’ve had such delicious food.”
“Thanks for the compliments.”
On the contrary, Ren was silently busy eating the meat.
Just looking at this made it feel like a peaceful and normal daily life.
“Come to think of it, you said you were learning how to practice. What kind of seniority is it?”
I immediately responded to Hayden’s words.
“A volcanic eruption.”
“Well. It’s a normal practice.”
common?
“Mr. Hayden, what kind of exercises did you learn?”
“me? You have learned how to practice the giant hunter.”
Just hearing the name, it seemed like a similar practice.
At that time, Karina, who was enjoying the steak, said.
“The giant hunter is a technique created by machine analysis. It drastically increases the strength of one arm. You can think of it as a technique that specializes in throwing.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. Also, those exercises are very effective. However, it was strangely difficult to level up.”
From what I’ve heard, it seems that there is a level in the practice method.
“It seems that the level is important.”
“Important. One of the conditions to become a sword master is the 10th level of seniority.”
“Sword Master?”
Heyden looked at Karina with curious eyes, as if he didn’t know about the sword master.
“Sword master. Could it be that the conditions for becoming a sword master have been revealed?”
It was clear from Hayden’s reaction that he didn’t know.
Then, did Karina find out during the previous regression?
Anyway, Karina pretended not to know anything and released the information.
“This is secret information that is not even on the web. One related enlightenment and 150 magical ability. 10 levels of martial arts. This is the condition to become a sword master.”
For some reason, Karina seemed to have become that sword master.
‘Apart from enlightenment and seniority, the magic ability is 150.’
This is my expectation, but I wondered if I should raise my pure magic ability to 150.
It was because the magical power that went up to the item didn’t move the way I wanted.
‘Even if I continue to take magical powers…’
The body level had to be 62 or higher to be able to take 150 mana.
This level 62 also includes the fact that all abilities increased by 2 when the body level reached 11 before.
Perhaps when the body level reaches 21, all stats increase by 3?
Still, I didn’t know, so I asked to confirm.
“You have to raise the level to at least 62?”
“that’s right. If you only raise your magic power, you have to raise your body level to 62.”
Karina, Ren, and I were wearing items that increased all stats, so we could meet the conditions, but the others weren’t sure.
If you catch enough, wouldn’t it be about level 100 to meet the conditions?
Hayden opened his mouth with a look of regret.
“I wish I had known the conditions earlier. It’s a pointless story anyway.”
Come to think of it, Hayden’s body level was 88.
A level that is not too low.
However, it seemed that he could not meet the requirements of a sword master.
“Rather than that, what do you mean by saying that it is difficult to level up the technique created by analyzing the machine?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I think there is something special besides setting and connecting magic points. Is it an image?”
“An image?”
“At the beginning, I said that the practice of practicing is to contain natural phenomena and mysteries in the body through mana vision, right? I heard that there is no such thing as a machine-made technique.”
Having said that, Karina added a word.
“It’s something I’ve heard too, so don’t worry too much about it. The volcanic eruption practice method Lee Seong-min is trying to learn is originally the practice method of that world.”
It seemed to mean that I didn’t have to worry too much.
In the meantime, Hayden, who was relieved of his regret, said as if he had just remembered.
“Ah, just in case, don’t go outside.”
“Out?”
“Did you know that the fog of death is looking for you? Drones are flying outside, so people are looking for them.”
He looked at Hayden for a while when he said that even people were looking for him, and he gave a brief explanation.
“I put a bounty on District 1.”
