#96. Concentrate. Lee Ji-eun.
From the day we first met, I knew that he was no ordinary talent.
That’s right. The color of his magic was black, something he had never seen before.
Even taking that into account, this is…
The skill that Master showed me really made me doubt my eyes.
Is this really a skill a first year Hunter Academy can use?
I couldn’t.
Of course, when she met Yoo Si-hwa, she knew that she was growing in great talent.
Because I thought she also possessed monstrous magical powers.
“How are you? Can you do it?”
Mr. Inwook wipes the sweat.
I had a hard time controlling my mouth that didn’t close properly.
“No? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.”
When I waved my hands and declared that I would never do it, Master laughed.
“No. Is it possible. Lee, Ji – Eun. You can definitely do it.”
“No. But how can a person come so different? You didn’t come from any illegal body modifications, did you?”
Mr. Inwook seemed to ponder what I said for a moment, but in the end he did not reveal everything.
“Just an elixir that is good for the body? Let’s say we ate something similar.”
“…Even if I eat ten wild ginseng, I don’t think it would be that bad.”
“Because I ate something more precious than wild ginseng. Anyway, pull out your sword now.”
Following his instructions, I drew my sword.
“Come on. Now that my physical condition has returned to some extent, I’m going to teach you by giving a demonstration, not a theory.”
“Yes.”
Before, the training was in the form of frankly speaking, he told me how to train and he turned around and watched.
To be honest, there were certainly times when I had doubts about his teaching method.
It must be the case that most of his training was because he dealt with too many basic skills.
Instead of absolute repetition.
Just like a gym trainer squeezing out the last set, Master would always go one step beyond my limits and exhaust me.
Of course, thanks to this, it was easy to perform basic movements when taking classes or practicing, but that’s it.
He didn’t feel like he had learned anything.
“Come on. Let’s start by using the magic power very delicately.”
The end of his sword as soon as he finished speaking.
Black dots began to form on the sharpest part of the weapon called the sword.
It seems that the horsepower was compressed, but the size was too small even though it was small.
It is about the size of a dotted pan with a black sign pan.
But my skin was telling me that the magical power condensed in it was no joke.
A creepy feeling.
I opened my eyes from the tip of the sword and looked up at his face.
Even though he clearly thought it was a technique that required a lot of concentration, his expression looked very peaceful.
“If it is difficult to reproduce the sword attack I showed you a while ago at once, it would be easier to start from here.”
Maintaining his posture, he poured out the magic that had been condensed on the point toward the front.
The stationary point became a line, and the thin line became a plane that splits the darkness.
There were no noisy effects such as splitting rocks or falling trees like before, but I thought this technique was more impressive.
Because, where Master’s magic had passed, only a clean section remained.
Full control.
Is this the real skill of this person?
What kind of life has he lived so that a 20-year-old can be this strong?
The more I looked at it, the more mysterious it became.
But I didn’t have time to think about other things any more.
“Come on. Now it’s your turn. Built sheep.”
“No. But I don’t know the trick.”
“You just showed me. How difficult is it to do it as it is?”
Your self-esteem is so bad.
Wherever I went, I was expected to be a genius or a promising youngster.
But that’s it, and I didn’t really know how to start.
However, once I drew the sword, I tried to mimic it as closely as possible.
Concentrate on one point… Concentrate…
Uh…
The technique I’ve been using so far has been to wrap magic around the sword.
However, when I tried to concentrate this area for a while, it was either messy or leaking.
“Hmm… wait a minute.”
Mr. Inwook, who was just watching my practice process, slowly moved behind me.
“Shall we do it again as we did before?”
“…Then they say it will fail?”
“Try it first. I will help you.”
Whew…
After raising my magic once again, I slowly tried to concentrate it with the tip of the blade.
If it goes like this, the flow will be the same as before…
It was that moment.
The warm body temperature I feel on my arms.
“Concentrate. Lee, Ji – Eun.”
Magic energy that is not mine flows into my body.
A heterogeneous energy flowing through the circuit.
“Here. I’m going to take it one more time like this.”
At the same time as his words, the magical image that had half covered the sword body began to shrink more and more.
It was much easier to understand what he was telling me through my body than I did a hundred times myself.
You just need to remember this feeling.
Concentrate… I need to focus…
I keep worrying about his hands.
You can see the veins protruding a little because of the force.
His chest wraps around my shoulders.
“…Lee Ji-eun!”
“Huh?”
My sword, which had lost concentration for a while because I kept thinking about something else, spurted out fiercely with magical energy.
Gwagwagwang
The black magic went in the wrong direction, but there was no damage because it was a place where there was nothing.
“…Hmm. Is it okay to tell you this?”
The Master, who lifted his hand and stood up, tilted his head.
“…No. Please tell me one more time.”
I already know everything.
“If you try a few more times, I think you will get the hang of it.”
Is it okay to receive this kind of service since I’ve been diving?

“Inwook-ah~~~”
The day after the author finished the map.
I found the Deforme insolvency after a really long time.
And again.
Residents who reside here.
Director Tae-soo Oh welcomed me very warmly.
“Oh. Yes. Long time no see. Director.”
“How did you feel so bad that you took a break? He looked fine the last time I saw him.”
He started scanning around my body.
“Oh. What. It was a treatment that took some time.”
“Hey. Listen. How long will Jena be with you while you are away?”
Bang.
When she turned her head to the sudden roar, there was Jena who dropped her bag vertically onto the desk.
“Ttotto. They say bullshit. Tae-soo’s brother.”
“No. What nonsense did I say? Hey. I haven’t even finished talking yet.”
“I just say strange things to Choi In-wook. Really.”
Jena shook her head as if she was tired of her hair, and then she came towards me.
“The body.”
“Thanks to you, I’ve improved a lot.”
“Good.”
She stroked my hair as I sat on the sofa very naturally.
“Hey… are you guys dating me without talking to me…?”
The manager pointed at us as if he had seen a nail.
“No. Brother. Whatever we do, we need your permission.”
“You… you! I never raised you like that!”
Were you raising us? Tae-soo’s brother.
I didn’t say much because I wanted to be that kind of person, but I laughed out loud.
“Ugh. This bastard How many days left to graduate, but I’m still dying here.”
Jenna’s words were true.
Actually, there is not much left until the third graders are assigned to the ranks.
In fact, when she started this life, she thought she was someone else, so she didn’t really care, but maybe she was starting to hate her.
I was a little worried about his future.
“Ah… that… I’m thinking of working as a reporter in the Hunter community.”
“Are you a reporter?”
The kind of people I really hate.
Artists who make other people’s lives like things that are simply consumed.
I couldn’t hide my discomfort at the manager’s remarks.
“No. Why do you want to be a journalist after graduating from the Hunter Academy?”
“Inwook-ah. You’re still a freshman and you don’t know life.”
Hey. Don’t know what you don’t know
It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to give him stinging advice with the mind of an old-timer.
It was a great blessing to have been chosen by the spirit to use magical power.
How many people do not even want to become hunters?
“An acquaintance I know has one seat left in the newspaper, so please come into the department that specializes in reporting on Hunters’ specials and things like this.”
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and slapped my forehead.
Yena looked at me with a confused expression, wondering why I was having such a violent reaction.
“Whoa… Taesoo-nim.”
“Why. Hey.”
“After hyung is over, please follow Ji-eun.”
“Author? Why is the author?”
Yes. Anyway, I saved a lot of people who should have died in this life, including the author, so how difficult is it to regenerate an additional human?
“I. I will try to get you a job as an ‘official hunter’ by the Hunter Association.”
“…What skill do you have?”
You can’t learn even if you really pay money, so I hope you all work hard to learn.
