Episode 45 Second Ability?
* * *
After shedding many tears.
I have calmed down my mind a bit now.
I checked the back of the will with the address written on it.
Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul… Isn’t this the International Electronic Center?
What on earth did the father of the parallel world leave here?
Is it like a laptop?
Anyway, I have to go back to Seoul from Busan.
It’s a one-day round trip to Busan.
If I had been in a previous life, I would never have done it.
From there, it took more than four and a half hours to get from Seoul to Busan.
Well, now that I can get there in only 30 minutes, it was fine.
I re-booked the train ticket and went back to Seoul.
* * *
The International Electronics Center in this world sells all sorts of unusual things.
You can also see equipment for full dives that are common in the game board.
It was full of unusual home appliances that could not be inferred.
Anyway, we have almost reached the location of the address.
Seems like an ordinary computer parts salesman, right?
“hello.”
“hello. What did you come looking for? I’ll make it cheap.”
“I came to find an item with Park Chan-hyung’s name on it.”
Then, the expression of the store owner, who was serving me with a business smile, changed to an infinitely serious expression.
What the hell did you prepare for such a fuss?
“Here it is.”
It even comes with a box decorated with luxury.
I opened the lid of the box with excitement.
… Is this the lightsaber the Jedi use?
“Are you a lightsaber?”
“It’s a lightsaber… That’s a good job. It would be more accurate to call it a photonglaive. However, this is not a photonglaive. It’s called Managlaive.”
Oh, was there mana in the world of Dacapo Dream?
Among the members of the S-Class, there are very few guys who use mana, and guys with imaginative power that consumes mana are not mainstream, so it didn’t matter much.
In fact, the imaginative powers that consume mana were generally poorly evaluated.
It’s natural.
Gamers will know this.
Characters that consume special resources or characters that require dual resources have very different likes and dislikes.
Well, that doesn’t mean that all Awoken who use mana are weak.
Sigmund Paul, who is famous for his swordsmanship, and Chloe Rumiel, who is nearby, are examples of this. They all use mana, but they stand in the ranks of post-humans.
“Could you give me a more detailed explanation?”
“A mana glaive is a weapon that uses mana as a resource. It is a weapon that is almost similar to the Photonglaive, but the difference is that it is a weapon that follows its owner’s growth.”
“How are you going to follow?”
“The Photonglaive is a fixed-power weapon. Of course, there are some differences depending on the manufacturer, but the output is basically the same. Although there are cases where the output is changed through illegal modification. It doesn’t make much difference. If the output is too strong, the device will not be able to withstand it. But Managlaive is different.”
The Photonglaive had its drawbacks.
I first found out
“Then does the output of Mana Glaive change depending on the strength of the owner?”
“Yes, it is. It starts with white, then goes up to sky blue, blue, light green, green, yellow, and red. Rumor has it that there are colors beyond that, but we haven’t figured out what the next one will be.”
Listening to it, there doesn’t seem to be much difference from the Sword Auror.
Is there any reason to use Managlaive?
“What is the difference from Sword Auror?”
“The color of the Managlaive and the color of the Sword Auror indicate the density of mana. In other words, a change in color means an increase in mana density. As the density increases, of course, the power also increases. However, the Sword Auror has a limit to the growth value of this color. No matter how high your mana intimacy and sensitivity, you can’t go beyond green.”
I mean, it’s more powerful.
Then Managlaive is more powerful, so why do people focus more on Sword Auror?
“But why aren’t the Managlaives so popular?”
“You can just use it, but unless you have mana-related thinking power, the output is very low. Then it would be better to just use the Photonglaive.”
“Would it be used by someone with imaginative powers related to mana?”
“Even people with good mana sensitivity have a hard time jumping over blue. And, even blue is enough power, so even if someone somehow rises to the green level, no one can further enhance the overflowing power. Starting from green, the mana consumption is extremely high, and the efficiency is also very low. It would be more beneficial to use a sword with a sword aura in it.”
What, then, is there no reason to use Managlaive even more?
Why did you have to develop such a thing?
“Then, compared to Sword Auror, Mana Glaive doesn’t have any advantages other than power, isn’t it?”
“It is said that starting with red, you can cut things that cannot be cut. Is it a soul… . From there, I don’t know the details.”
Now I understand.
In a nutshell, growth requirements and expectations are both ridiculously high.
Still, with that kind of merit, there are probably quite a few perverts who only sell mana glaives.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, I don’t know much more than that. Even if I have my own workshop, I am just a business of selling things.”
“no. It helped a lot. thank you I will write well.”
“Uh-huh, what?”
The owner’s face is bright.
Seems like a lot of expensive stuff.
Hahaha, merchants, shouldn’t they just sell expensive things well?
I left the store with the box.
Oh, I didn’t go home right away.
Because I was curious about home appliances in this world, I had time to look around for a while at the International Electronics Center.
Hmm, there’s nothing special about it than I thought.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of them were somewhat predictable.Of course, there were some things that looked interesting, such as drones, but unfortunately I didn’t have the money to buy them.
There were quite a few credits, but credits are goods that can only be used inside Trinity Academy.
Having seen everything to see, shall we go back to the studio?
However, he did not return empty-handed.
What I bought was mechanical gum.
I was so excited that I bought one.
At first, it was a mechanical gum, so I tried it once to see what kind of weird device it was, and it was no different from real gum.
It had a display chip inside and a gel wrapped around the outside, and it was a machine that could taste like gum by putting the desired flavor and flavor into the gel, and then putting the ingredients that smell and taste from the gel into the gel.
It was very good to be able to use it continuously if I added a little water.
The price was also cheap.
now i have to go home
* * *
The room was full of dust.
As I glanced through the bookshelf, black dust was clinging to my fingers.
I didn’t do any cleaning or anything.
I have to go back to Trinity Academy again tomorrow anyway.
you should leave it like this
it’s annoying too
First, let’s start with Mana Glaive.
When I pressed the button on a stick small enough to fit in one hand, a thin solid white line appeared on the tip of the device.
… It’s even more amazing what you can cut with this.
I slashed a corner of the bookshelf with the activated Managlaive.
is this cut off?
At the edge of the bookshelf, a very smooth cut surface was formed.
Even though it looks poor, it doesn’t mean it’s not a weapon without cutting power.
The problem was, nonetheless, the power was insufficient.
It could cut even wooden bookshelves, but it couldn’t cut hard objects such as metal or stone.
At this power, it must be lower than the Photonglaive.
Why did my father give me this weapon?
It’s of no use… Oh, my father said he could actually see the future.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe my second ability is thinking power related to mana.I’m a little worried though.
Even if he awakened his imaginative power to deal with mana, he had to climb to the level of blue to get proper power, and even that had to rise to the level of red to gain the strength that differentiated him from the Sword Auror.
In the future my father saw, did I also create a red sword?
If so, the story will be a little different.
If I go back to Trinity Academy, I’ll have to get some swordsmanship instruction from Aina or Olivia.
A swordsman who cuts souls, you have a romance, right?
And I guess I had to do something else… .
The unpleasant feeling of forgetting something kept lingering in my mind.
What was it?
That’s right, I was checking the letter.
I took the letter out of the paper bag again.
It was because of my father’s advice to read the letter again when the item became available.
Well… Nothing has changed in the letter?
If you dare to use the phrase ‘when things can be used’, is it related to Managlaive?
I reactivated the Managlaive and placed it close to the letter.
Then, some letters that had not been seen before began to appear in the letter.
It was so blurry I couldn’t read it.
It must be ink that reacts to the mana around it.
It seemed that I could read properly only when I awakened my second ability and was able to handle the red managlaive.
Now the text is so blurry that I can’t really guess what it’s about.
What the hell kind of important content was written in ink like that?
As the author is a father who can see the real future, it may contain a future that is so important that I cannot afford it.
For now, I’ll go and think about it then, and now I’ll have to sleep a bit.
I’m so tired.
