53 – Great Forest-7 (How to get stronger)
Read at noblemtl.com
Nearly a week has already passed since I first investigated the Great Forest. In the words of the younger, it is said that the information is accumulated enough that the results can be released today or tomorrow.
So today, instead of going to the Great Forest to investigate, we decided to focus on our own work.
Yeon-na and Ha-yeon have their own work, but since I had nothing to do, I thought I had already reached my limit and couldn’t raise it anymore, so I tried to train to increase my strength.
‘Is it really going to happen?’
‘I don’t know, but I have to try.’
It is impossible to conduct training alone, so Geohan, the leader of the Wolhae organization, decided to help me.
“But how can a person’s name be a giant?”
“Brother! Don’t change someone else’s name at will!”
Anyway, if it’s a B-class Awakener as an opponent, it can be a sufficient indicator to know how much my ability has improved.
“You mean you can do your best without using your abilities?”
“Okay, if you do it right, you won’t die in one shot, so don’t worry and attack.”
“Come in first.”
If you ask me to come in first, I won’t decline.
Unlike the last time I dealt with a D-class villain, I picked up both a pistol and a dagger from the start.
To be honest, there was a high probability that a pistol would not even be able to play the role of check for an awakened person of about B rank.
If you strengthen your body with mana, you will be able to easily ignore the physical power of a normal pistol.

No matter how specially modified the pistol I am using, since I have to be able to withstand the recoil, the actual physical quantity is slightly higher than that of a normal pistol.
‘So I brought a special bullet.’
After the bullet is fired, the mana inside the bullet is ignited, and it is a bullet that increases the amount of impact by accelerating.
Although mana is used, it can be used as a bullet for monsters because physical power does not have a great effect on the awakened person.
-bang!! ping!
After firing the bullet, a small popping sound was heard, and the giant’s shoulder was slightly pushed back.
Seeing that he was fine even after being hit by monster bullets, I wondered if he was a man of physical bullets.
‘But this is enough.’
I ran quickly and got close to the giant. He didn’t care about the giant’s fist coming down from above. Evasion is not my role in this sparring.
The giant’s fist narrowly passed me by. I didn’t brush it off on purpose for fear of getting hurt. Rather, he wanted to hit me so violently that he twisted his fists along my moving body, so it is clear that under normal circumstances, he would have been so focused on avoiding this one punch that he would not have thought of anything else.
‘But now I’m not alone.’
I stabbed the dagger into the giant’s side. It was the most perfect part of my calculations, a place where I couldn’t block it with a high probability or even if I blocked it, the balance was bound to be disturbed.
– Empty!
It was an unbelievably light sound to be the sound of a human body and a dagger colliding.
‘1 point.’
Unlike a D-class Awakener who cannot maintain a shield with his mana, a giant can keep a shield. A fight I can’t win unless I bring ammunition for the Awoken. Therefore, it was decided to divide the win or loss of Dalian by getting 1 point for each hit.
– Empty!!
-bang!!
Dalian was very fierce. As long as we fought at close range, the game would be over if the giant grabbed me once, so I focused on avoiding using the heads of the two people.
I scored points every time there was an opening, but I also lost a lot of points because it was impossible to evade perfectly while attacking.
“Brother, you’re a dog?! Are you really a non-awakened person?”
See that bastard smiling when he’s losing, well, there aren’t many fights like this that are so thrilling. I am also on a rush of adrenaline.
“If I was an Awakener, you wouldn’t have lasted more than three minutes.”
“I think so. I’m sure he’s dealing with her sincerely…”
A giant who had been quite far away appeared in front of me in an instant.
Instead of me, who was distracted by the conversation, another Lee Soo-hyun moved his arm and blocked the giant’s attack with a dagger.
I was pushed back about 10 meters, but I didn’t lose a point.
“Does this use a fake?”
“First of all, I lost. I don’t think I can beat my brother without using my abilities at all.”
The giant sat down on the spot.
how much did you fight?
Looking at the clock inside the training room, 30 minutes had already passed since the fight started. I’ve been fighting for so long, so it’s hard.
As I relaxed, I could feel my heart beating wildly.
‘It’s f*cking hard.’
My body was drained of strength and I lay down.
“If you use your ability, how long do you think it will take you to subdue me?”
“Why do you ask that, of course it takes less than a minute.”
‘As expected, my limits are up to the level of C.’
Still, the combat method with another personality was quite effective. To be honest, if I were alone, there is a high probability that I would not have been able to last even 10 minutes, let alone win.
‘thanks.’
‘What a thank you for using the same body.’
The dagger seemed to hum a little, perhaps because it had been holding it for the first time in a while.
It didn’t actually hum and vibrate, but it felt like something inside the dagger was actively moving.
‘But isn’t this mana?’
I held the dagger firmly with both hands and focused all my senses on the hand holding the dagger.
Although their personalities were different, Mana was unmistakably correct. The energy that I felt weak in the tank when I was young was right. The mana he felt countless times while following Ha-yeon and his younger sister was right.
There was no point in asking why I hadn’t noticed until now. It was after I started hanging out with Ha-yeon, who had a lot of mana, that I started to really feel that I was mana. It was only natural that he did not feel such a small amount of mana.
‘There is much more mana in the center than outside mana.’
The outside was also surrounded by weak mana, but the inside felt much more mana than the outside.
can i use this?
I moved first before deciding whether it was right or wrong.
The first thing I tried was just imagining mana moving.
Of course, it didn’t move. If mana moved just by thinking, there would be no distinction between awakened and non-awakened people.
The next thing I did was move the dagger around. Although the central axis of magical power moved weakly, it was barely enough.
Applying an external force also moved the mana weakly, but it didn’t mean much.

No matter how strongly he gripped the handle, the center of mana moved only slightly.
‘But aren’t you like that?’
‘I suddenly know what.’
‘We also have mana in our bodies.’
What bullshit, if you have mana in your body, you’re an Awakener,
‘No, this is certain, other people have all the mana, but I don’t know if they didn’t notice or if it was because I grew up in a facility when I was young, but I have a weak amount of mana in my body.’
‘Where are you?’
‘All over the body.’
I closed my eyes and focused on my body. Mana didn’t feel anything.
‘I’ll try moving it once.’
How do you move something that doesn’t even exist…
‘uh?’
I felt something gathering in my hand. It was less than the amount felt from the outside of the dagger, but it was definitely mana.
‘How did you find this?’
Even if I gathered up what was spread all over my body, it would be this much. How the hell did you find it?
‘I don’t know, is it because it’s not my body? Did you just feel it?’
There must have been mana in my body too.
“Giuhan, would you like to come here for a second?”
“That’s because my name isn’t a giant.”
While grumbling, he raised his large body and walked toward me. I woke up as well.
“Look around your body for some mana. It’s going to stab your shoulder, so be careful not to be pushed.”
“I get it.”
It was a mana that I didn’t know at all when it was spread, but I was able to control it with certainty as it was the mana in my body.
As I stabbed the dagger toward the giant’s shoulder, I pushed the mana in my hand into the dagger.
In a very short time, the dagger’s mana center was pushed to the other side of the hilt, towards the blade,
– Pook
My dagger lodged in the giant’s shoulder.
