247 – [4] My Gift
#247
* * *
Not much happened in the evening after the incident.
Shannon’s parents were somewhere else, perhaps taking care of something, so the house was extremely quiet.
So, I tried calling Cheonma-ri, who was in the hospital after being taken to the ambulance.
What is the result…… It wasn’t always so bright.
– “Gangsiyaaa! “Please save me!!!”
– Uddangtang!
– “The doctors said that no matter what they tried, the anesthetic wouldn’t work, so they brought a syringe with a big-cocked needle—”
– “There’s a patient! “You can’t run away!”
– “Ugh! Nurses are killing me!!! “Save Marie!!!”
Suddenly.
It looks like they are filming a hospital survival horror.
If you are an old person, you should just get an injection. Why are you making such a fuss?
Even though it became a beehive in the first place, it walks around fine and is afraid of things like syringes?
Considering that S-class hunters are often afraid of syringes, it wasn’t surprising.
It was a reality that felt so foreign and strange for a woman to stand at the top in the distant future.
I put down the phone and sighed, saying I was glad it didn’t turn into a big problem.
Then I threw myself on the bed and fell into a restless sleep.
“I have to leave Ireland today or tomorrow…….”
And the next day came.
Because the siren did not sound at dawn, she was able to wake up comfortably.
I truly feel like everything has become peaceful.
When I opened my eyes later, hot breath was blowing away like fluff from the pillow.
I got up.
I could see the colors of early morning coming through the swaying curtains.
“Ah…… “I slept with the window closed.”
Red sunrise.
Morning was beginning.
I turned over and got up from my seat.
As soon as I opened the door, I was filled with silence, not much different from the evening.
However, someone’s silhouette appeared in the distance by the living room window.
Her tail, those horns, it was definitely her.
She tidied up her messy hair, put her things in her pockets, and headed outside.
The sunlight that broke through the touchstone-like clouds that occupied the edge of the early morning covered the yard.
Wow, the sound of rolling waves led me to the shore.
A woman wagging her tail above the waves crashing down on the sand.
I looked out at the sea and shouted.
“Mr. Shannon!”
“Huh?”
Somehow it feels like a similar composition to yesterday.
The difference from back then was that there was no Marie now.
It was expected that there would be no stormy atmosphere and only a calm atmosphere.
I felt like I could heal for the first time in a long time.
“Mr. Xian? “What made you wake up already?”
“I am naturally a morning person.”
“Aha,” She nodded slightly.
She looked back and forth between the sunrise and me, then pointed her finger out to the shore beyond.
“Would you like to take a short walk?”
“I like it.”
I could feel the sea water and sand mixing inside my slippers.
It was cold, but it felt like the alcohol had gone away.
“Hey, Mr. Sian.”
“Yes?”
“Mr. Sian, how do you plan on spending your vacation now?”
“Well, I should go back to the academy.”
“Aren’t you going back to Korea?”
“If I go back to Korea, there’s nothing worth doing.”
Meeting high school friends?
Would you like to say hello to your aunt and cousin?
Want to organize items piled up in the warehouse?
Other than that, I couldn’t think of anything else.
So, I thought it would be better to stay at the Arecibo mansion, ‘my home.’
The same goes for living as a hunter.
The same goes for hearing school news.
The overall scenery is the same.
They say it’s terrible, but the climate is also better than Korea.
Also, there is this and that.
“Honestly, the house in Arecibo is much more comfortable. When I was in Korea, I was really stressed because of the climate, but it got better after I came to the academy.”
“Well, Mari often told me that the Korean Peninsula is not a place where people live… ….”
“Well, it’s not that bad, but it’s a bit annoying.”
However, Arecibo was defeated in terms of expensive hospital costs and the use of the pound-pound method.
It could be said that it was truly disappointing.
However, it was always regrettable.
Despite the huge negative news of the Yard Pound Act, Arecibo was the best option for this vacation, except for a brief stop in Korea.
“So what exactly do you plan on doing at the academy?”
“Just like college students do during vacation. “I plan to live with adequate rest.”
“Get some rest… ….”
“Shannon, how do you plan on spending your vacation in Ireland?”
“What…… “I think I will also spend my days at home eating with my parents.”
We are dealing with the emergence of gates.
If we combine the words that followed, it could be said that it was truly a wise hunter life.
That was the moment I thought about what Shannon said about processing the gate.
I suddenly remembered the item I was carrying earlier.
“By the way, Mr. Shannon.”
“Yes?”
“Shannon, do you plan to continue using water magic in the future?”
“You push it with water magic? Oh, are you really asking if I plan to use water school magic as my main magic in the future?”
“It’s not even the main magic. “I was wondering if you plan to continue learning only that in the future.”
Honestly, I was curious.
Will we continue to suffer from the fundamental limitations of water school magic?
“What…… “It may not be forever, but wouldn’t I only learn water school magic for a while?”
“For a while.”
“Even after the first semester is over, my proficiency level is not that good. It takes a long time to cast, it’s hard to say that magic efficiency is good, and if you panic, the magic stops…… Ah, this is a lot better.”
Because of lack of skill, we will continue to sell only one well.
In fact, continuing to dig even when the amount of water coming out of the well was small was not such a bad thing.
My intention is just to keep thinking that the waves are not good.
It meant that it might be possible to dig a well somewhere else for a while.
They say that if you learn just one thing and become an expert, you can make a living from it.
This was because it was questionable whether water school magic could truly be treated as an expert.
“Personally, I think it would be better to work in parallel with other schools of magic.”
“Another school of magic? But my skills aren’t that good for that…….”
“You never know. “I wonder if Mr. Shannon has talents in schools other than water magic.”
“Umm… ….”
Honestly, the power of the water school magic used by Shannon.
Every time I saw someone using magic from the side, I couldn’t help but sigh.
If I had studied another school of magic instead, I would have heard it was top-notch a long time ago.
But it looks like everything got nerfed when he chose water school magic.
It was too late to ‘completely’ overturn this reality.
Of course, as a dragon, she still had a lot of life left, but there were only a few years left before the quarter to prevent her bad ending.
Both what I learned and the time left were too short to turn it over now.
So I thought I would offer her one compromise.
“But even if I learn something new now, I don’t think my power will be that great.”
“It will depend on which one you choose.”
“It’s different?”
“Shannon, do you know which school of magic best matches water school magic?”
“Uh…… Well?”
I shook my head as if I didn’t know.
But I didn’t give the answer right away.
He continued to look at her as if asking her to think.
It was exactly the kind of behavior her woman would hate, but she needed to know where she was now.
“It’s not a very complicated magic. A moderately simple school of magic. “What do you think it is?”
“Um…… Fishing school magic? But I already know a little bit about this…….”
“It’s not a simple school of magic.”
“Then ice school magic?”
“It’s a complicated school of thought. To be honest, it’s a bit difficult to deal with.”
“Then cooking school magic? “It’s not that complicated, and it’s even simple.”
“No.”
The point of what I am saying now is what is the highly efficient school of magic that can be used in battle and that can be combined with the water school magic.
Probably, even ignorant worms who don’t know science will answer right away if you give them a little hint.
From Noble mtl dot com
“I’m talking about electricity school magic.”
“Aha~”
Electricity passes through water.
To be precise, water mixed with impurities conducts electricity well.
And the water created through water school magic is usually.
Because it was not about creating something from nothing, but rather collecting moisture from the surroundings, it contained a lot of impurities.
If necessary, additional impurities could be added.
In other words, the magician was saying that if he set his mind to it, he could create a great liquid-electric wire.
“From my perspective, I think the magic that will enrich Mr. Shannon’s life as a hunter is Electric school magic, not Water school magic.”
“Because water is a conductor and conducts electricity well. It’s not really wrong, but…… The problem is, have I thought about that before?”
I tried using Electric School magic in the past.
But the nuance is that it is not used now.
“Then why aren’t you using it now…?” ….”
“That’s because I don’t have any talent in the field of electricity. “Even when I tried to use magic, not a single spark flew.”
I have no talent.
I can’t use it to learn the easy Electric School magic.
It was a chronic talent problem that every hunter had.
However, this does not mean that these problems cannot be solved forever.
“That’s why I don’t even pay attention to Electric School magic.”
“Then, from now on, you can look at me again.”
“Yes? What is that…….”
I took out a ring from my pocket.
The inside of the jewel, which seemed to resemble a wave, revealed that it was a magical device.
“Try it on.”
“Yes?”
“Because it’s my gift. Go ahead and put it on.”
But Shannon just stared at me, as if she didn’t know what I was talking about.
I grabbed her left hand and slipped her ring onto her ring finger, which I roughly chose with any finger.
“Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, wait a minute! “What on earth is this?”
“I told you so. “It’s a gift.”
“Oh, no! Still! “This is on my left side—”
“Uh huh. “If you care about my sincerity, please never remove this.”
“Ha, ha, but…” … !”
When Shannon looked at the ring on her finger, she looked very chagrined.
On the other hand, what was so embarrassing was that her face blushed a bit and even raised her tail.
He seemed very sorry because it was an expensive gift from someone else.
If you’re sorry, all you have to do is wear this and show your proper skills.
Then I didn’t even plan on having any regrets about this ring.
Because investments for the future must always be certain.
“Shannon, do you know what kind of ring this is?”
“Uh, um…… Heh…… That is…… Because it’s a left-hand ring…… This is for me—”
“That’s right. “It’s a ring that enhances Ms. Shannon’s magical abilities.”
“Yes…… ! It somehow seems like that…… Huh?”
“To be exact, it is a ring that greatly enhances Mr. Shannon’s basic talent in the Electric School.”
As soon as those words were said, Shannon began to look at me alternately with her ring.
Eventually, she let out a sigh, “Ah,” And turned her empty eyes in this direction.
“Now, with just this, Mr. Shannon can become an Electric School wizard who can combine Water School magic! How is it? “It’s a really nice ring, right?”
“… ….”
But I sensed something unexpected.
On the other hand, one wonders if this is the theme of the story.
It seemed like her hair had turned white because it was a ring she had never imagined.
Or you may have trouble controlling your emotions.
“Ah.”
Well, that can happen in life.
I smiled and nodded repeatedly.
