762 – 9. There is not a single day when this does not happen (11)
What is ‘mana’?
According to a commonly used expression, it was ‘a raw material that can be replaced miraculously.’ Various definitions are possible depending on the perspective, but this is precisely the representative role that ‘mana’ plays.
Should we say that it is the power necessary to overcome physical limitations?
Originally, there is an upper limit to the strength that the human body can produce. In addition, the miracle of creating water, fire, and wind alone was not a power originally granted to mankind.
But aren’t we performing these miracles without any hesitation? This was entirely due to the characteristics of ‘mana’.
Tweaking the rules.
If ‘image’ creates a new law, ‘magic power’ projects it into reality. That is why people, regardless of whether they practice martial arts or magic, strive to increase the amount of magical power in their bodies.
Because you couldn’t make a fire without fuel.
In this way, ‘magic power’ was like air to warriors and wizards. We were always together since we were children, and we were never apart, so it made sense.
Life without magic?
It was normal if you had never even imagined it. Even if we tried, it would probably just be the delusion of a depressed person with a gloomy outlook.
If only this place wasn’t ‘Cheongeomsan (天劍山)’.
“hehehehe.”
Just one hour.
It was the time needed for Shien, wearing the magic restraint, to go limp. Sir Irene is by your side and giving you as much attention as possible, but no matter how much you do, she can’t even take care of your movements for you.
Even without that, the weak Shien was crushed by the weight of the stone.
“Well, Your Highness… I understand that it’s difficult, but seeing the royal family lying face down on the dirt…….”
“Please save me, Sir Ian…” Lord Irene is trying to kill me!”
Sir Irene, who tried to raise her master despite breaking out in a cold sweat, and Shien, who refused to do so, created a fantastic chemistry. Mainly in a way that instills some confidence in my head.
Those two are bad.
I had doubts about whether I would be able to pass basic training. In fact, as long as she doesn’t support Shien, Sir Irene will also have a chance. But there was no way that stubborn female knight would make such a decision.
After Celine’s last attack, she was a woman who showed particular anxiety about Shien’s safety.
On the other hand, senior Delphine was in very good condition. She’s just frowning slightly, but her movements are no different from usual.
It seems that the discomfort that comes from an unfamiliar sense of helplessness is inevitable.
Soon, Delphine looked at me with somewhat puzzled eyes.
“Is everything okay, West?”
No matter how much she has cut off ties with the secular world, her eyes and ears are in many places as ‘Lord West.’
Does she have no desire to hide anything? Well, it was funny to be pretentious when everyone already knew.
After sorting out all my thoughts, I answered sincerely.
“First of all, he is a ‘master.’ “It doesn’t make sense that it wouldn’t be able to withstand this much weight just because it doesn’t use magical power.”
To be precise, I didn’t feel it.
The body of the ‘Master’ is special. Even without ‘magic power’, its very existence was already at the level of denying the physical laws of reality, so there was no reason for me to feel helpless.
I just find it annoying that I have to deliberately suppress my magical power.
At least there won’t be any disruption to your daily life.
Did he sense something unreasonable in my relaxed attitude? Senior Delphine gave me a rare, cruel look.
“It’s a little unfair, isn’t it? I clearly said I would receive training under the same conditions, but I was the only one who was fine…….”
“If you are wronged, become a ‘master.’ Also, if it’s too hard, don’t overdo it.”
“Why do I have to become a ‘master’? “Our trustworthy West can help us.”
At the same time, the corners of the woman’s eyes slowly draw an arc.
It was meant to be a joke. No matter how senior Delphine was, he was a warrior holding a sword, and he was a person who devoted his entire life to kendo and reached a high level. There is no way you can do the training roughly.
Unless there are unavoidable circumstances.
Knowing this well, I had no choice but to laugh and accept the joke.
“If you’re having a hard time, I’ll carry you to your accommodation.”
“Hmm, that’s not bad either? After that, we spent the day together… ….”
It was then.
Hmm, hmm. And no matter who heard it, a coughing sound filled with discomfort was heard.
When I turned my gaze, there was a girl with gray hair standing there. As always, with an expressionless face.
However, if those eyes seem strangely cold, is it an illusion?
While I was panicking, senior Delphine’s eyes, who had been staring at Seria in silence, turned to me again. And the conversation continues again.
“After that, we spent the day together… ….”
“From now on, I will teach you the training method that leads to ‘trueness.'”
Seria’s tone, which broke through her soft voice, was extremely stern. It was as if she would not allow even the slightest objection.
Most people would have given up on conversation at this point.
But who is Delphine? Isn’t he a great man who cannot be understood from a normal perspective, and the golden lion who leads the Yurdina family?
More than anything, it was a time when the anger over defeat had not yet fully subsided.
The woman’s ruby eyes took on a lustful glow.
“Oh my, were you there?”
“If you have vision or hearing problems, we will guide you to the medical room.”
“I’m sorry, once I leave, I can’t see my surroundings… “Because we were talking.”
It was a ridiculous excuse. No matter how focused you are, you can’t even notice someone clearing their throat right next to you. Even senior Delphine is a skilled prosecutor.
Even an assassin who deliberately hid his presence could not guarantee safety at this distance. Because that was the feeling of a prosecutor who reached ‘high expert’.
Of course, there is no way that Seria, who is in a similar state, would not know this.
It was natural for the girl’s beautiful eyebrows to furrow slightly.
“Can’t we tell others first?”
“You mean those two?”
At the same time, the blue eyes glanced behind me.
There, Shien was seen lying face down on the dirt floor, and Sir Irene was fidgeting next to him. Even at first glance, it doesn’t look like it’s worth going to the next level.
It was a rebuttal more powerful than a hundred words. It seemed like Delphine didn’t have anything to say about this either, so she had to pause for a moment.
“Pre-study is also important, right?”
“It’s just that the learning in front of her is more urgent… “Don’t waste your time on useless things.”
Afterwards, the girl’s glance at me was cold.
“Didn’t you say you’d beat my record? “A week is very short.”
It was already the second day, but it was a cold treatment that I could not get used to.
It was worth it. Wasn’t she a cute junior who used to stutter and bite her tongue? Should I say that she was a child who followed me around like a chick, but now she has grown up and is ignoring me.
Of course, it wasn’t bitter. Rather, something.
I feel somewhat depressed.
“Then, I have to learn.”
I pretended like nothing was wrong, but the reason why I could feel the subtle heat in my tone probably had something to do with it.
“Because I have to finish it within a week.”
Seria remained silent despite my provocative declaration. She looked at me blankly, then looked away again.
It was still an attitude of not being able to understand its true intentions.
“As I said, the basis of ‘盡’ lies in emptying everything.”
“How exactly?”
“First, you have to experience reaching a trance.”

Then, Seria threw the wooden sword he was holding in his arms to the ground. Judging by the clear sound, it seemed to be of good quality even though it was made of wood.
“This is a wooden sword used by beginners. Originally, I would have used something a little heavier… “It won’t be good if you overdo it.”
Of course she wasn’t talking about me. As Ceria said that, her gaze was blatantly directed at senior Delphine.
It was such an insulting expression that even I was shocked.
No matter how old Delphine is not used to everyday life without magic, she recommends a wooden sword that is useful only for beginners. It was something that could not be said without belittling the other person.
Didn’t they even directly mention the word ‘herd’?
Senior Delphine had no intention of quietly getting over it. In an instant, her woman’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, just before she kissed her lips.
The look in her older sister’s eyes as she looked at her younger brother became strange.
How much is that?
“…… Aha.”
As if remembering something about her, a sweet exclamation burst from Delphine’s lips. Eventually, she smiled brightly.
“Okay. “If so, what?”
The sight of Delphine obediently picking up her wooden sword was shocking in itself. No, why on earth?
Seria also showed an unexpected reaction.
The girl spoke with a lonely expression, as if she had never harbored any malice in the first place.
“Men, please follow me.”
“No, well…” Why?”
It was a proposal that suddenly came to me as I was unable to understand the communication between the two sisters.
I was embarrassed and had no choice but to stutter. On the other hand, Seria seemed to be asking about everything.
“Even if the magic power is limited, isn’t it the body of the ‘Master’? Methods like pushing the body to its limits won’t work… So, I will teach you a separate training method.”
It was indeed a reasonable explanation. So much so that she found it hard to find anything to refute.
So, after kissing her lips, I could only ask one question.
“…… “Just the two of us?”
“Yes, just the two of us.”
Answering casually, Seria took a chilly step forward. Hesitation was something I couldn’t see even if I looked for it.
I stared at the back for a while.
Soon, with a bitter smile on her face, she quietly decided to follow Hiseria. If you think about it, the composition used to be the exact opposite.
The first solo meeting with such an awkward junior has been confirmed.
It was the second day since I came to Cheongeomsan Mountain.
