Episode 72. clue (1)
John cleared his voice.
“So why did you ask brittleness?”
“ah… … !”
Yuri, who woke up from her thoughts, answered Yohan’s question.
“That brittle spearmanship was said to ride back through the shedding of demons.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Do you know anything?”
“Of course it is.”
Yuri’s eyes twinkled slightly at the answer.
“What?”
“What do you think?”
“… … ?”
“hehehehe, I’ll give you two homework assignments.”
“Suddenly, what homework?”
“Listen first.”
“… try.”
“First, the demonic sword will be completed within the next year.”
“A magic sword? What is it?”
“A strong sword, a soft sword, a fire sword, and a demonic sword. It is a small technique that divides the state from 1st dan to 4th dan, commonly referred to as strong, yeon, hwa, and ma.”
Although John described it as a small technique, in fact, it was not so expressed.
There weren’t many ways to release mana through ordinary machete, unless it was a famous machete.
It was this method that was most popular among them.
It was also an indicator to distinguish the realm of a public figure along with magical power.
In other words, Yohan was telling Yuri, who hadn’t even reached the official 1st dan yet, to go up to the 4th dan within a year.
If someone else had heard of it, the situation would have been absurd.
However, after hearing all these explanations, Yuri nodded calmly.
“Okay, that’s right, what.”
At this, John smiled inwardly.
‘This should be enough for my mid-term goal.’
Up until now, Yuri had been running recklessly toward the grand goal of completing demons.
This was a goal that was unknown when it would be achieved.
But if you only look too far, you’re sure to miss something.
So Yohan was thinking of giving Yuri a small goal in this way.
neither too short nor too long.
A specific achievable goal.
This will definitely be of great help to Yuri’s growth.
And the goal that John would give him was not the end of it.
No, in fact, from now on, this was the real homework that Yohan gave to Yuri.
“Complete the second homework, Ma Ryu-Catching.”
“Ma-ryu-catch?”
Yuri tilted her head.
So far, Yuri, who has mastered magic, has done two things.
First, read Mahyu.
Second, to shed the flow of reading.
However, I couldn’t help but wonder when the word catch came out of nowhere.
To this, John added an explanation.
“hmm… Let’s see, reading the flow is 1 meal, and shedding is 2 meals, this catching is about 3 meals.”
“So how do you catch the flow?”
Until now, Yuri had been controlling the flow by using the demonic mana rod created by Yohan.
But in fact, it was quite ambiguous to call it control.
What Yuri does is pluck out a few small strands from the huge flow and change its direction.
To give a rough analogy, it would be like holding a pickaxe on a huge river and making several small waterways.
That was the identity of the technology called ‘shedding’.
You may think it’s less important than you think, but the small stream of water you created just sent off Muchi’s attack.
Furthermore, the momentum of the sword master could also flow through it.
However, it was not enough to say that Yuri had mastered it perfectly.
Catching out of nowhere in the yard where you are barely getting a sense of shedding?
It was natural that he didn’t feel well.
And when Yuri asked how to catch the flow, Yohan answered with a smile.
“Okay? I don’t know that either.”
“… What kind of dog sh*t is this?”
Yuri’s face crumpled.
John’s smile grew even thicker.
“I’m saying this because I don’t know how to explain catch. This is something I realized quite sensibly.”
“In the first place, wasn’t it a season in which demons themselves depended heavily on their senses? Shed it too.”
“Though those two had a system based on a completed theory, but the demon-catcher doesn’t even have that.”
“That sound… … ?”
“Ma-Ryu-Catching is an incomplete technology that only makes a theoretical framework and has not yet been fully implemented.”
Yuri’s mouth opened slightly.
He opened his eyes wide and immediately grumbled.
“Are you asking me to learn it now?”
“Of course not.”
“I still have a conscience… … .”
“It is said to not only learn, but also complete.”
“… Where did your conscience go, really?”
“Puhehehe, wasn’t that our contract? I save you, and you help me perfect my skills.”
“You said you’d help, didn’t I say I’d do everything?”
“Ugh! I’m halfway done with the mage-catching, so to be honest, you’re not doing it all!”
“Yeah yea, I bet you do.”
Yuri, who was pouting her chin as if she was dumbfounded, asked as if she remembered something.
“Then, what’s next after the catch? Isn’t there another one after that?”
“Then… … .”
There was a slight bitterness on John’s lips.
“It’s still just an idea.”
“… We have a long way to go.”
The magic that Yohan created through his long experience was still lacking in detail.
The reason was lack of time.
A few years to learn how to defeat the Sword Master.
Several years of data collection and theory building for this.
Furthermore, another few years to improve it into a new type of mana rod that does not deviate from the existing Redner family mana management method.
I poured 15 years like that.
John’s genius was sufficiently proven that a single individual accomplished in 15 years what a family would normally have to spend tens or hundreds of years to accomplish.
But even so, there are limits.
That’s why Yohan needed the existence of Yuri.
Users who want to verify their theory and put it into practice.
Furthermore, a genius who can point out the problem.
Yohan poked his index finger toward Yuri’s puffy cheek.
As if demonstrating spearmanship.
“Among the Winchester family’s spear techniques, the brittleness you experienced is a technique applied with ‘shedding’.”
Normal shedding and shedding of the generated power.
A demon-shedding that touches the source of power, the flow of mana itself.
In a way, it was a form in which general shedding was included in Ma-ryu-shedding.
At this, Yuri put on a puzzled expression.
“… You said it was shedding?”
Yohan smiled slightly at the expression as if he didn’t understand something.
It was because he knew why he was making that face.
“Why, don’t you understand that brittleness is shedding?”
“any. Because it feels different from the shedding I know.”
“If we can find out what the difference is, we will be able to see how brittleness rode back through the demon-flow.”
“No, so what does that brittleness have to do with the homework that inspiration gave me? What are you talking about spinning around like this? It confuses people.”
“Tsk tsk, you stupid bastard. What do you think the maryu-catcher is catching?”
“Of course it must be the flow of mana.”
“Then, among the general skills, what are the skills that interfere with the flow of power?”
“Of course shed… ah!”
“Did you know now?”
Yuri nodded.
“So, you’re telling me to use Winchester’s brittleness to practice demon-catching?”
“Yes, that’s it! It would be difficult to complete the demon-catcher immediately, but if you are involved in the flow of power one level lower than that… Depending on how hard you try, it will be possible to some extent.”
“indeed… … .”
It sounded pretty plausible.
No, it was quite possible.
If you accumulate experience like that, one day you will be able to get a clue about how to catch demons.
There, John’s remarks continued.
“The brittleness of the Winchester family is a rather peculiar shedding. And it’s very suitable for practicing maryu-grabbing.”
“It’s unique… In what way?”
“You know that when you experience it yourself. Just to give you a hint… Do you think it’s chubby?”
Yuri nodded at this.
‘I guess I’ll have to increase the number of couples.’
It was the only way to encounter brittleness more often.
‘However, the problem is how to increase the number of sparring without revealing it.’
If she showed signs of regret, she could have canceled the 10,000 points that Thearesia was supposed to give per sparring.
Thearesia seemed quite discerning.
If you get caught by mistake, you will surely lose money.
So I needed a way to gently coax her out.
‘hmm… After all, there’s no better way than pure kindness, right?’
While Yuri is thinking about how to draw.
“Kheung, then I’m going, so finish your homework until next time.”

Miraculous John got out of bed.
Just as he was about to leave the cave.
“Oh right! Inspiration!”
Yuri urgently called John and stopped him.
Then he took out the pendant hanging around his neck and showed it.
“Inspiration, do you know what this is?”
In response, Yohan approached Yuri and looked at him with the pendant.
A precious-looking crystal necklace filled with dark green liquid.
As soon as I saw this, one word came out.
“Where did you steal it?”
Blood vessels bulged in Yuri’s forehead.
“Stealing!”
“Then where did you get this precious looking thing?”
“I bought it with points!”
“Hoo? okay?”
Then, Yohan looked at the glass pendant carefully.
‘I don’t think it’s a normal thing?’
It was not easy to see the fineness of the pendant and the hardness and hardness of the crystal.
I don’t know who made it, but at least it was made by someone who could be called a craftsman in this field.
The dark green liquid contained in such a pendant is also not an ordinary one.
‘green… It’s green.’
Among the green medicines, John thought of the precious ones.
Then Yuri’s voice interrupted.
“The name of this item was the vision of the Gauls.”
“… … ?!”
John was astonished and hardened.
He blinked his eyes as he looked into the glass.
“… Vision of what?”
“Vision of the Gauls. By the way, there are many famous things when it comes to goljok, right? Still, if you think about it, it’s either poison or medicine… … .”
“Sounds stupid!”
Interrupting Yuri’s story, Yohan shouted out loud.
He roared with burning eyes.
“I don’t know why the Gauls’ arcane poison is famous! Because it is colorless, odorless and tasteless! The darker the color of the poison of the Gauls, the lower they are treated!”
“Oh, so with the name Vision, you mean this is medicine? As long as you didn’t throw it in the cradle?”
“Yes, that is not an ordinary medicine! A medicine worthy of being called vision by the Gauls is… There is only one. as soon as… … .”
“as soon as?”
“It’s an elixir!”
“oh! Elixir!”
“Yes, this is the famous elixir… … !”
“what is that?”
“… … .”
“What is an elixir?”
“This ignorant… ah!”
Yohan, who was about to curse Yuri, changed his expression and smiled broadly.
However, even though he changed his expression, he couldn’t hide his drowsy neck.
“Nothing. Even an elixir is just a little unusual medicine.”
“… … .”
“So, do you want to sell this to me?”
Yuri’s expression as she looked at Yohan changed very, very sadly.
‘I don’t know what an elixir is, but I do know one thing for sure.’
Seeing that this old man can’t hide his greed like that, it’s true that it’s really good.
“Ugh, can’t I get those dirty hands off my elixir right now!”
Yuri quickly took the elixir from John’s hand and hid it under his clothes.
“sh*t… … .”
John licked his lips at the elixir that slipped out of his hand.
Yuri, who covered her chest with both hands, stepped back and asked.
“So what is an elixir?”
“… To a savage who doesn’t even know what he’s holding in his hand, that precious thing… Eh, tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
“ah! So what!”
At Yuri’s prompting, Yohan let out a sigh.
And he opened his mouth as if he was patronizing.
“Aww, ignorant bastard. Listen closely, what an elixir is… … .”
* * *
The explanation about the elixir continued for a long time.
And Yuri, who finally realized what an elixir is.
moon moon moon-
He carefully pulled out the pendant with trembling hands.
Is it an illusion that the dark green liquid inside the crystal looks brilliant?
No, that was not an illusion.
Right now, at this moment, more than anything in the world, the pendant in my hand was the most beautiful and brilliant.
A small mutter escaped Yuri’s mouth as she stared blankly at the pendant.
“… f*ck, yeah, it’s a shot of life.”
The eyes of Yuri, who had won a huge windfall, were filled with emotion.
