Episode 75 Circular regression.(1)
* * *
It was raining on the first day of August.
Everyone is busy for different reasons, but there are definitely some who are particularly busy.
Like those who were elected as representatives of this Olympiad.
Likewise, I am busy.
I’m concentrating on learning new skills.
“Seongjin, are you practicing hard? What are you doing hiding alone?”
“I’m sure you’ll do well, but you can tidy up what you’re doing and tell us.”
“sorry. I will definitely show it to you at this Olympiad.”
When I say this, it sounds like I’m practicing even an unknown skill, but it’s not.
For a while, I pretended to be a swordsman and cosplayed, but I’m not very talented with swords.
This does not mean, however, that we will abandon the Managlaive swordsmanship that we have accumulated so far.
It’s just that I’ve learned a new way to use the Second Ability.
“Then we will see you after training is over.”
“okay.”
[User recognized. You are synchronizing your thinking. please wait for a moment.]
[User Park Seong-jin’s synchronization is complete. Please set up training.]
[The training settings have been completed.]
It wasn’t long before this technology was invented.
It was after I was able to properly control the movement of mana.
In the process of training my second ability, I got a question.
‘Anyway, Managlaive’s sword is also mana, wouldn’t it be possible to create a thread made of mana at all?’ such a question.
As a result of trying to find the answer to that question, I was able to come up with a surprising fact.
‘The thread created by concentrating mana with the second ability can be controlled with the first ability.’
I don’t know what principle it is.
If I dare to guess with a brain the size of my millet, the component of the thread may be mana, but I think it might be because the thread itself is considered ‘the thread I made’ using the second ability.
Well, that kind of thing is pretty good.
I don’t really want to know
In the first place, logically speaking, wouldn’t it make sense to start with superpowers?
Anyway, the result is this.
thud!
The smooth-cut pile fell forward with a loud sound.
He didn’t even take any action.
Just a magenta thread passed through.
As if the space was empty from the beginning.
It definitely feels like I’m back in the days I was used to.
It doesn’t mean you’re unfamiliar with using Managlaive.
It’s just saying that using the thread that is the first ability suits my temperament, and it also tastes good.
It may be said that the swordsmanship that I have been practicing hard for so far is not worth it, but I have not abandoned the swordsmanship.
It’s just getting my focus back.
Anyway, I have no talent as a prosecutor.
No, to be honest, I have no talent for fighting.
The only thing that can confidently say that he is talented is that he rolls his hair.
And, the Olympiad isn’t the place to go for those trying to fill in the gaps.
It is a place where the apex, who are already displaying their talents to their heart’s content, compete.
In other words, there is no point in trying to wear clothes that do not fit my body.
Rather, I’d rather practice what I’m good at.
There is a huge difference between practice and practice.
Did I say sapilgwijeong?
Nihilis was talking about being destined to become a Knights Templar and talking vainly, but I wonder if this is the real fate.
It means that I have returned to my original form, which was far from a sword, which I used as my main thread or main body.
No, looking back, can’t this be considered swordsmanship?
When you reach the level of swordsmanship, you use swordsmanship and use an intangible sword, and so on.
Since this can cut something, shouldn’t it be thought of as a sword?
It would be easier to think that way.
If Nihilis had heard these words, she might be nagging at her for saying that she didn’t even sound like a word… It’s okay to think about it then.
It’s not like the sword was completely put down.
I am obviously practicing both spirituality and this technique in parallel.
I’m putting a lot of weight on this one, though.
If it’s normal, it’s normal.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My Nakrincham has already been widely known, and most of the other cadets will be making preparations for it, and in terms of technology, it has actually reached the stage of completion, so it is difficult for my Nakrincham to develop further.You’d be much better off investing in this skill, the hidden joker.
I still have a long way to go to deal with it properly.
Will time really reward me?
Please, I hope to hear yes in Prague.

“For some reason, you want to train together.”
“I need your help today.”
“Why me? Can’t we just ask Aina to do it?”
“Because no one else can help you.”
If it was something that Aina could solve for me, of course, I would have told her first.
However, this is a problem that only Alfred can help with, so there is nothing we can do about it.
“Yeah, what is it?”
“I have the skills to experiment with Managlaive.”
It’s true that I’ve only been training for my first ability lately, but that doesn’t mean I’ve completely neglected Managlaive.
There were definitely days when I was training focused on mana glaive like today.
“But, what does that have to do with me?”
“Look, you know. First, go to the training room and blow me a lightning bolt.”
“What nonsense is that?”
“Are you going to try it?”
“okay… It’s all about thinking.”
Alfred sighed and entered the training room.
I followed him too.
[User recognized. You are synchronizing your thinking. Please wait a moment.]
[Users Park Seong-jin and Alfred Eisner’s synchronization has been completed. Please set up training.]
[The training settings have been completed.]
“Are you really shooting?”
“Are you shooting?”
Activate the second ability and enter the state of the magenta sword.
Then, all eyes were focused on Alfred.
You can see the rippling, pulsing electric currents gathering in his hand.
Now is the time to be released slowly.
In accordance with the trajectory and time of the flash, he wields the Mana Glaive.
“What, how did you do it?”
“It was meaningless to practice in the past.”
Thunderbolts bounced off in the direction it came from.
If it was baseball, at least it wouldn’t have been a home run.
“Did you call me for this? That’s cool.”
“It is not. It’s a skill I don’t use very often. It is also difficult to write.”
Once again, I could see how great the technique of brain breaking was.
I remember that scene edited by Mr. Ka X Shi, dropping all kinds of plagues when lightning broke, was definitely a laughter bell, but when I actually put it into practice, it was usually not difficult.
Anyway, as to why you’re doing this seemingly impractical thing…
Among the participants in this Olympiad, an Awakener of the Blitz World like Alfred appears.
If you can react to lightning in the first place, you may think that you can simply avoid lightning, but there is a reason you must resist.
It’s because Ryujin had this skill that deflects lightning, similar to the brain spots of Se X.
However, this skill was not learned from Aina.
What I learned from Nihilis.
I learned some of Ryujin’s non-mainstream techniques, but I remember at the time when I was rude, saying, ‘Where do you use these things?’
… I will learn hard.
It’s usually not that hard when you try to do it again.
Still, it is definitely beneficial to learn it, so I plan to practice hard.
It’s not a widely known technique, and it’s never going to be able to cope with first-time dogs.
“So, you want me to help you practice this? Where are you going to use it? It’s cool, but it doesn’t seem to be very practical.”
“Levin has the same blitzkrieg ideology as you. He’s going to be in this Olympiad, so he needs to practice a lot.”
“ah… It sure is. Yes, I’ll help. Can I just randomly fire lightning at you like I just did?”
“Oh, right. It’s good to start.”
A flash of light flew again.
However, I couldn’t get it out this time.
I was struck by lightning directly, and I collapsed on the spot.
Leaving only dark soot and a pungent burnt smell.
… The first one was lucky.
Not to mention the reaction, even predicting it wasn’t easy.
Nihilis reacted really casually.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, so go on.”
“okay.”
Of course it’s a lie.
it can’t be okay
It would be a lie to say that electric torture is not painful.
Oh, the word torture might be wrong.
Because Alfred kept telling him how to quit.
Since it is an action of my own will, it would be correct to call it self-harm.
I’m not the one to give up though.
I have no intention of quitting this thing until I succeed 5 times in a row.
“It looks like you better stop now… ”
“It’s still okay. I can do more.”
“If you are… .”
Unfortunately, the results were not very good.
Because, let alone succeeding five times in a row, success three times in a row was my best record.
In the end, all I could do was parrot the words one last time.
That didn’t change anything though.
To be honest, I was halfway there, so I thought Alfred would take care of it and quit halfway through.
However, while Alfred was shy, he didn’t stop shooting lightning at me.
Yes, Alfred works so hard to help me, and I can’t stop here.
I’m sure you’ll succeed, Marie.

“Sometimes, every time I see you, I get skeptical that I like you.”
It wasn’t until I couldn’t count the number of times I was struck by lightning that I was able to stop taking on that stupid challenge.
Of course, this was also not intentional.
It had been pulled out of the training room by Aina’s unseen hands.
