Episode 5. internal circuit
As I frantically grabbed my posture and swung my wooden sword, the scene that was projected like a hologram disappeared after a while.
After the time limit of 1 hour, the activation of ‘My Own Memory’ stopped.
There weren’t many memories of Schlusus that he had acquired during that time.
A fragmentary impression of his father.
And some of the basic postures and cutting techniques of a few longsword swordsmanship.
“Wooa…”
However, even after the activation of the ability is over, I am still wielding the sword.
As if he had learned swordsmanship a long time ago, he was familiar with the sword in his hand, but that was all.
I have no choice but to learn swordsmanship by examining Schlus’ memories for an hour a day.
If you do nothing and wait for the cooldown, decades will not be enough to master swordsmanship.
So, the rest of the time I have no choice but to devote to embodying the learned swordsmanship.
The reason why he is so obsessed with swordsmanship is simple.
Because there is no other way.
If you use ‘Selection and Concentration’, you can be the strongest one-on-one for 3 seconds.
But what if it’s not one-on-one? What if another fight breaks out after using the ability?
Even if it’s a street gangster, I’ll have to die.
Therefore, even without abilities, the extra villain needs strength to deal with.
That’s why I’m devoting my time to swordsmanship… I’ll have to learn some magic later.
It is a natural choice because you will need basic combat power even when you go to rough terrain later to get Kiyeon.
It’s kind of strange that you’re training in swordsmanship by entering the Imperial University, a magical university, but…
There will be an event that will make this swordsmanship shine shortly after the start of the school year.
“hahahaha······.”
After swinging the sword for a while, I realized that I was very tired.
Sweat pours down like rain and my body aches and I die.
But the results were clear.
The blurry memories of Schlusus definitely melted into my body.
Fragments of swordsmanship, which were mere memories of others, were completely embodied and became mine.
Learning swordsmanship is through ability, ‘one’s own memory’, but in the end, mastering it is purely dependent on my efforts.
However, there seems to be a limit to improving skills by just swinging it in the air in the training room.
I wish I had the opportunity to put it into practice someday.
“Next, let’s test the internal circuit.”
internal circuit.
It is a means of strengthening the body to its limit by circulating magical power throughout the body.
How much and how the body is strengthened depends on its shape and structure.
It can be said that it is similar to the magic spells engraved on the body.
This internal circuit is innate and cannot be repaired, so it is no exaggeration to say that a knight’s strength is determined only by his bloodline.
Very occasionally, there are cases in which common people are born with the most powerful internal circuits, just as they do in a river.
·······Maybe me too?
“Uh….. I think I got a rough idea.”
Close your eyes and concentrate.
Find the circuit engraved in your body.
It wasn’t that difficult.
Then, as a test, if you pour a very small amount of magic into it…
Wow!
“uh?”
Magical energy circulates through the body through internal circuits.
And at the same time there was a strange noise.
What kind of sports car engine is idling?
I don’t remember a single description like this, but…?
“Cuckoo!”
Blood gushed out of his mouth with a tingling sensation.
There was a significant amount of hemoptysis. What intestines exploded…?
I wanted to raise my head because I wanted to know what the f*ck was going on, and my head felt dizzy as if I had been hit in the back of the head.
“Ah······ Uhhhh….”
It just fell to the ground.
My hands and feet are trembling, and my body doesn’t listen.
If you pass out here, you get f*cked.
Because no one can come in because of the barrier.
If you don’t want to be found dead after 10 days, you have to leave immediately…
“Ugh… the pole….”
He desperately moved his stiff limbs as if paralyzed.
I crawled and crawled towards the infinitely distant door.
While my vision was blurring, I barely touched the door and unlocked the barrier…
I don’t remember anything after that.

“Have you opened your eyes?”
“············”.
As soon as he regained his consciousness, he turned his head to the soft voice.
There stood a man who exactly matches the image that comes to mind when you think of a modern doctor.
I’m lying in some hospital bed.
“Uh huh, lay down a little longer.”
“Ugh… what happened?”
When I tried to get up, I had no choice but to release my strength again because of aching pain all over my body.
It’s like the next day after being hit all over the body.
That’s what I’m saying, but it’s not that I’ve been beaten all over my body.
“This morning, the dorm room manager came carrying you.”
Marie…
Last night, it seems that he managed to break the barrier and reached out his hand out the door.
Marie, who had left for work, saw it and brought me to the hospital.
I’ll have to say thank you later.
“It was eroded by magical energy, and at the very least, all the organs and organs were almost destroyed. He died a little later.”
crazy. It wasn’t usually serious.
I owed my life to Marie.
“Did you activate the internal circuitry?”
“That’s right. Immediately after that, I suddenly lost my mind with bleeding.”
“Do you know what the state of your internal circuitry is?”
“I do not know.”
“If you don’t know, find out here. This is a schematic diagram of your internal circuit.”
The doctor unfolded a piece of paper and showed it to me.
I thought it was a dark circle…
Upon closer inspection, the black lines were intertwined and entangled like a skein of thread.
“It’s serious.”
“It’s not serious. Somebody’s circuits are tangled with each other, so they’re just shivering like crazy. A genetic disease that has worsened over three generations will not be like this.”
For some reason, the doctor was outraged.
Intrinsically, the smaller and simpler the internal circuit, the better.
The less time it takes for the mana to cycle through one cycle, the more efficient it is.
However, the needlessly complex and long internal circuit like mine maximizes the resistance that occurs while the magic is passing through.
The result is the occurrence of magical energy, a deadly poison for humans.
“I barely survived because only a very small amount of magical power was put into it. If the circuit had run for 0.1 second more, you would have died instantly.”
“············”.
“Don’t ever think about activating the internal circuit again. Then you’ll really die.”
“All right.”
“If you get a good rest for a day, you will be able to move. Check the condition tomorrow and decide whether to be discharged or not.”
The doctor put the medical certificate on the bedside and left.
At the bottom, in the column for treatment and hospitalization costs, 0 was written.
It is a hospital affiliated with Imperial University, so the senior year is free.
In this case, I am very grateful for the cheap settings without thinking here and there.
I was almost in debt from the first semester.
Anyway, to continue the story, the internal circuitry plays a significant role in close combat.
Because internal circuits determine the specifications of physical abilities.
If you can wield the Amman sword well and cannot use the internal circuit, you cannot defeat the one who uses the internal circuit with your bare hands.
A person with an extremely strong internal circuit can even destroy a castle wall with his bare hands.
My internal circuit, so important, looks like such a messy thread…
“Ha·························.”
laughter comes out
It’s not that I’m embarrassed
I am grateful for this extraordinary amount of luck.
It is a useless internal circuit that produces magical energy that is only poisonous to humans, but I know as a writer.
Magic energy is a much more valuable by-product.
If the mana stress is high enough, it is possible to decompose the mana energy into mana, and the large amount of mana generated inside the body automatically strengthens the muscles and makes the body hard.
To the extent that it cannot be compared with the body strengthening of ordinary internal circuits.
This is the reason Magicians are strong.
They just eat and sleep, and magical energy is generated in their body, which is freely decomposed into mana and used.
You should use ‘selection and concentration’ for mana coordination.
Let’s see how strong the body is.
“Okay… later….”
I tried to get up and lay down again.
As the doctor said, I think it would be better to take a little rest today…
***
“Oh my. Come to think of it, today is the day. The entrance exam results are announced.”
“············”.
Lady Liechtenburg clapped her hands and made a fuss.
At this, the teacup that Erica was holding shook slightly.
“Of course you’re the chief, aren’t you?”
“I told you that it might not be. One thing is wrong.”
Erica sighed and told her mother the story she had been telling her over and over again.
In the entrance exam, I was nervous and couldn’t solve the last question to the end.
Of course, the entrance exam is not designed to be completed in the first place.
Considering that the average score of admitted students is 70, even one mistake is enough to easily get 1st place.
If it had been a perfect score, there would have been no worries, but Erica had to be nervous all day yesterday for fear of getting a perfect score on the entrance exam for the first time in 10 years.
“Hey, who’s got the perfect score? Even my daughter couldn’t solve it. I heard from Ms. Wiegenstein, but her son also said that he got 3 questions wrong?”
“It could be a lie to reassure you.”
This admissions cycle was special.
From Liechtenburg to Wiegenstein to Fleischt…
It was a special rider who gathered not only the noble families but also the prodigies of all lower aristocratic families.
Therefore, it was not strange at all to get a perfect score in the entrance exam after a long time.
She was confident that Erica wouldn’t be surprised if someone got the wrong question right.
“Don’t worry. It must be the chief. Whose daughter is she?”
“············”.
Erica rested the ball on her mother’s arms wrapped around her back.
Then he lifted his head and looked at the picture frame hanging on the wall.
A picture frame with a dignified father in military uniform.
Then I felt the confidence that had just hit the floor soared.
He inherited the blood of his father, the Count of Liechtenburg, who left a mark on the history of the Empire.
If not me, who will be the head of the Imperial University?
“It’s my mother’s mail.”
“Oh my gosh!”
“Yes. I’m from Imperial University.”
“Oh my gosh! I’m here! I’m here!”
After receiving the letter from the butler, Erica sighed deeply again as she watched her mother jump with guns.
Even if you are filled with confidence, you can’t help but be nervous at this moment.
The letter envelope sealed with the old-fashioned patterns of the Imperial University, Liechtenburg, carefully ripped open with a knife.
Then, holding a piece of stationery folded in half, she sat down next to Erica.
The letter slowly unfolded, and Erica’s pupils widened.
“ah······.”
After a quick glance from above, she was able to find her name in a nutshell.
Erica von der Liechtenburg.
The name was located second from the top.
The ‘2nd place’ written next to his name was trampling on even the slightest bit of hope.
If so, who is number 1?
Wiegenstein’s geek?
The Saint of Plechet?
If not, the unexpected overtaking of a prodigy from a lower aristocracy?
It wasn’t all three.
“Schlus Heinkel…?”
“Why is your name like that? Isn’t this a typo?”
Schlus Heinkel.
The short, rustic name was located at the top with the phrase ‘No. 1’.
Rub your eyes and look again.
No matter how you look at it, it was a name that didn’t have a noble surname, starting with ‘pawn’.
That’s it…
“You mean the commoners took the top spot?!”
“Mother…., would you please lower your voice a bit….”
It was said that it was the lowly commoners who stole the chief seat, not anyone else.
It wasn’t even the name of a famous bourgeoisie anywhere.
I’ve never even heard of a surname like ‘Heinkel’.
“I’ll have to contact Imperial University about this right away! Butler! Butler!”
“Yes, madam.”
“Please send me a letter to Imperial University immediately. There must have been an error in the announcement of the entrance exam results-“
“mother.”
At Erica’s cold words, Lady Liechtenburg stopped speaking.
At first glance, it was Erica sitting calmly. However, Liechtenburg, who had been watching her since birth, noticed that the little back of her head was trembling slightly and clearly expressing anger.
It was a cute reaction in Liechtenburg’s eyes, because she had been trained by her father not to show her emotions from a young age.
“Imperial University doesn’t make mistakes.”
“Ugh. It’s not like that.”
“then······.”
If so, there is only one case left.
A commoner named Schlus Heinkel committed injustice.
But the words did not come out of my mouth hastily.
Because it was a statement that lowered the status of the imperial university where she was going to attend.
That said, he did not want to admit that the commoners were really superior to him, even if he died.
“I’ll check it myself.”
“What?”
“Schlus Heinkel. What kind of human a commoner is.”
Erica jumped up and left the room past her mother.
I think it would be more comfortable if I met him in person and confirmed that the commoner was under me.
Of course, I will take the top scorer during the midterm exam, but only then will I be able to live comfortably until then.
With that thought in mind, Erica called the coachman and ordered him to head to the Imperial University.
“Whew.”
Liechtenburg looked out the window and sighed.
I left half the tea and looked down at the rest of the cup.
– There must be an unexpected meeting. Perhaps he is the person who will change your daughter’s life forever.
I remembered the content of a point I had seen secretly one day.
Come to think of it, I had no idea what direction it would take to completely change my life.
So it was even more vaguely worrying.
Ugh, these novels are getting predictable
