22 – Magic Stone
Even in a developed modern society, is fantasy still fantasy?
Monsters abound when you get out of the protective magic barrier of the city.
The area around the road is constantly patrolled with monster recognition sensors and CCTVs.
No big risk, but there are exceptions.
There are also monsters that are difficult to handle with guns.
At that time, it is an adventurer to deal with those monsters.
Should I say that an ordinary adventurer in a fantasy world is a free spirit?
The image of wandering around, adventuring, exploring, accepting orders from the guild and collecting wealth will be strong.
The frame is also similar to this world.
Activate freely and collect wealth by accepting orders from the guild.
The only difference is that the guild is a government agency run by the state.
Anyway, an adventurer is a job full of hope (?) To make a fortune at once, regardless of high or low magic power.
It is a job that everyone wants to try at least once.
Why is the adventurer baby appearing all of a sudden?
It’s because he’s taking a class called adventure studies for adventurers.
The instructor who is conducting the class seems to be a very famous person with high achievements and achievements as an S-class adventurer.
“That’s why magic stones don’t always exist in the hearts of monsters. This is a phenomenon that happens to all monsters, both dragons and goblins.”
“Instructor, what medium does a monster without a magic stone live through?”
“That’s a good question. Monsters use magic stones as a medium to carry out life activities. However, that’s just an auxiliary means.
For both humans and monsters, mana basically originates from the heart and flows throughout the body. Should we say that the monster holding the magic stone has fallen from the law?
It is impossible for a life to accumulate magic power beyond its limit, but monsters accumulate surplus magic power and crystallize it. That’s magic stone.”
Is the magic stone a crystal of surplus magic power?
Magic power is invisible and has no color, so how many masses must be put together to become a solid?
Curiosity sparked another curiosity, further stimulating intellectual curiosity.
I raised my hand and asked a question.
“So, do people become monsters too?”
“Of course. However, turning into monsters is theoretically impossible in other races other than humans, and there is no precedent.
Humans are both magically and biologically imperfect beings, so if they experience runaway magic, they turn into monsters and become ‘mages’.
A demon loses its self and becomes a monster that destroys everything, but human magic has a limit, so it can be disposed of without much difficulty.”
I see.
Only humans can transform humans into monsters.
The more I look at the people in this world, the more pitiful and pitiful they seem.
It accounts for 97% of the world’s population, but there seems to be a reason why it is not as influential.
‘Ding Dong Ding Dong’
“The bell is off. I’ll stop today. Oh, that’s right. Tomorrow’s class will dig deeper into magic stones.
Bring 2 magic stones each.”
“Thanks for your hard work!”
***
Come to think of it, there was a magic stone vendor on campus as well.
Was it sold in various ways from F to A for research purposes?
The adventurer’s guild buys it, but selling it is said to be almost non-existent with the engineering guild.
Maybe it’s because the substitute for electricity in my previous life is magical power.
After extracting mana from the mana stone, it spreads here and there through the mana line.
Nothing different from electricity.
As I walked around the living area, I started to see magic stone shops one by one.
Of course, there are places that specialize in selling magic stones, but shops that sell various miscellaneous goods are common.
I entered the store with the highest student rating among them.
I thought it would be like a magic stone store, but it’s bright and clean.
It was similar to a mobile phone store.
“Welcome. What kind of magic stone are you looking for?”
“Is there a two-cornered rabbit magic stone?”
“Do you need large quantities?”
“No, in small amounts.. Just two.”
“Wait a minute.”
The clerk opens the door behind the counter and enters.
I took two gray magic stones from inside and came out.
“Two pieces, one Middle Eastern coin (about 10,000 won).”
“Can I pay by credit card?”
“Yes, do you have a loyalty card?”
“No.”
I went out after paying as if I was buying triangular gimbap at a convenience store.
Two magic stones cost only 10,000 won…
In addition, if the selling price is two thousand won, the purchase price will be lower.
It must be harder for adventurers to earn money than I thought..
I flicked the magic stones in the envelope.
I felt like I was caught on something, so I felt weird for no reason.
Ah, that’s right.
Did you say that if you infuse magical power into a magic stone, you can feel a pulse like a heart?
As if making a mana core, he collected mana and sent it to the magic stone he was holding without compressing it.
Ah, I can definitely feel the pulse.
“Huh? What is it?”
The color of the magic stone changed from gray when magic was poured into it.
It turned to rainbow color.
Isn’t that right?
The color that appears when oil is mixed with water and exposed to light.
That color.
“Wow.. Isn’t this a scam?”
Shall we go back and ask?
No, it’s good if you don’t get harmed for nothing.
Look at his face crumpled because he bought two magic stones.
If you ask for a refund, you might even hit him in the cheek.
Let’s ask the older sister first.
***
I called my older sister and decided to meet her.
After thinking about where to meet, we decided to meet at a cafe in the living area.
Was it Starbucks?
This is the place where I was slapped on the cheek before and flew away.
Opening the door and entering, she could see Ina alone drinking her coffee and reading a book.
Should I say the pinnacle of elegance?
At the sound of the door opening, Ina looked this way and her eyes met.
“Hello, Your Highness.”
“Hi, what are you doing alone?”
“Lily is waiting for you. Your Highness?”
“I decided to meet my older sister.”
A tiger will come when I say it, so the automatic door opened and Lillie came in.
“Eh…What’s the matter with Her Highness?”
“I’m going to meet my older sister, Lili?”
“We’re going to go to the smithy. There’s a sword I’ve been thinking about.”
It seems that the two decided to meet to make and order a sword that fits their hand.
It’s really good.
With me in the middle, the two of them started talking amicably about the sword.
“Hello sister.”
“Meet the poor.”
“Oh, what are you two doing?”
“I was supposed to meet for a while to make the sword. Let’s go now.”
Lili and Ina got up and bowed their heads.
As for me, I whispered in my ear that I would see you at the front door and went outside.
“Big sister, can’t you see me?”
“It can’t be.”
“Hmm… Do you really want to follow your older sister?”
“Wow…”
Seeing her blush, I think she hit the point.
I heard that your expression has changed since the sword was mentioned earlier…
“Would you like to come with me when we finish talking about magic stones?”
“Really? You’re not lying, are you?”
“No, why are you lying?”
How hard is that?
I took a black envelope out of my pocket.
I should finish the main topic quickly and go on a date with my older sister.
“I just bought two two-legged rabbit magic stones from the magic stone shop?”
“Is this it?”
“Yes, I confirmed that it was definitely an F-class magic stone, and I even checked my pulse by injecting magic power into it/
But suddenly the color just changed.”
“I can’t do that…”
The older sister peered into her black envelope with her doubts.
Then the pupils in both eyes widened.
A surprised look on anyone’s eyes.
“Sister?”
“Hee!!!!!!”
“What’s wrong with you? What’s going on?”
“Ah…No. I was just a little surprised.”
The eldest sister puts her hand on her chest and takes a deep breath.
I drink the Ah I ordered earlier.
“Ouch…”
The eldest sister complains of a headache holding her head, probably because she inhaled something cold at once.
I took out a small magic core and cast a recovery spell on it.
“I can use magic now… My younger brother has grown up a lot.”
“Isn’t that great?”
“Great, great.”
It was always a pleasant stroking, but today it was even more pleasant and gentle.
“First of all, let’s go outside.”
“Is it bad?”
My eldest sister was a little lost in thought.
Should I tell you or not?
It is a feeling of worry.
“It’s good, but in some ways it’s bad… It’s Yuk, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing… Anyway, let’s go out.”
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out.
Without stopping there, he held my hand tightly and headed towards the student council room.
***
“Hey, sister, are you here already?”
“Come on, close all the windows and draw the curtains, quickly!”
“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
The second, Elana, said she didn’t know what to say, but she closed her windows one by one.
She then drew up the curtains so that no one outside could see inside.
It is said that a murder case happens in a place like this if you look at a mystery story…
The older sister took out her envelope from her pocket and took out the magic stones inside her.
It was the same rainbow color as the last time I checked.
Seeing that, Elena’s sister screamed in fright.
“Unnie! Where did you get this?! Why is she holding something like this?!”
“I got this from Yuk earlier. I heard that it turned into a rainbow color when I put magic into an F-class magic stone.”
“Impossible!! An F-class magic stone becomes an R-class magic stone?! With this one, you can extract demonic energy from the kingdom’s magic power plant without worrying for 300 years!!”
“Whew… I think it’s ridiculous, but what if it’s real?”
Sister Elena rummaged through the drawers of her meeting room, and she took out an F-grade magic stone and held it out to me.
After accepting that, I tilted my head.
“Yuke, try pouring magic into this one too! I think you’ll believe it when you see it yourself.”
“Okay. By the way, what is R-class magic stone? What is 300 years of power plant?”
“Later… I’ll tell you later!! Come on!!”
I felt somewhat frightened by Elena, who was shouting with excitement.
My heart was startled by the shouting, and I immediately began to cry.
Is it because the mental age is low?
It is difficult to control the tear glands.
Even if you didn’t act maliciously towards me, tears flowed when you were surprised.
Little sister, I bowed her head and shed some of her tears.
He looked even more startled than before.
Then I buried my face in her large breasts.
“Sorry sister. Are you surprised?”
“Yes…”
“If you can really change an F-class magic stone into an R-class magic stone, it would be such a big deal that it would turn the world upside down, so my sister was a little excited. I’m sorry, brother.”
My older sister hit Elena on her head and pulled me over to wipe away her tears.
After calming down to some extent, she held the F-rank magic stone in her hand and channeled her mana.
Just like before, the light was shining and the pulse was beating, and the color changed from gray to clearer.
Changed to a rainbow style.
The expressions of the noonas who are watching it in real time are their mouths wide open
He has a screaming expression as if it is nonsense.
I put all of her mana into it and put it on the desk.
Still in disbelief, Elena held her magic stone in her hand and closed her eyes.
“There’s no doubt… It’s an R-class magic stone.. At least a Dracaras-class…”
“Dracaras level… World Heritage level…”
What came out of the mouth of the older sister who ended her feelings
It was the name of the dragon that the sword god ‘Arx’ had defeated.
