Chapter 149 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
After hearing Eugene’s explanation, Yeonhwa finally understood what it meant that a human who used circle magic could handle class magic like a dragon, and she showed interest.
“Yes, going from circle magic to class magic is a much bigger difference than going from martial arts to martial arts.”
“… Indeed, I understand why that wizard woman can’t take her eyes off the book she’s holding.”
As a martial arts user, Yeonhwa understood the huge difference between martial arts and martial arts.
Therefore, I was able to understand why Aline, the circle wizard, showed such a desperate attitude when Eugene took out the book.
And Yeonhwa, who understands that fact, clearly realizes that she and Eugene have no choice but to gain the upper hand over Alain, and smiles wryly.
“Now, doesn’t the Chamber of Commerce say this? Girl, are you planning on continuing to be stubborn like this?”
“Tsk… !”
Even though Yeonhwa gained the upper hand over Alain not because of herself but because of the items Eugene took out, Yeonhwa shows an attitude as if she gained the upper hand thanks to herself.
In response to Yeonhwa’s actions, Alain was unable to maintain his usual calm yet incomprehensible attitude and groaned.
She was an Alain, carrying the responsibility of the position of Chancellor, but before that she was also a sorceress by nature.
Just by looking at the Reverse Circle Gymnastic she created, you can see how serious a wizard she is about magic.
However, before her eyes, there was a clue that not only her own identity but also all wizards in the future might be able to advance to a higher level.
Even if one is in a position to fulfill the responsibilities of the position of president, it is very difficult for a wizard to give priority to the president’s responsibilities with that object in front of one’s eyes.
However, no matter how greedy she was for the book Eugene showed her, she could not immediately throw away her responsibility as president of the Academy, so Aline fell into intense distress.
“Hmm, above. That girl doesn’t need that book. “It looks like it’s quite important data, so please put it away for sale somewhere.”
He could tell that fact right away through her shaking pupils, and Yeonhwa quickly grabbed Eugene’s wrist, who was holding the book, and tried to put the book back in her pocket.
“Now, wait a minute… !”
She was unaware of the fact that the material that could overturn her magical world was about to disappear before her eyes, and Alain caught such an act of softening.
“Kukkuk, what is it, wizard girl? “Didn’t you say that it would cost you even death to grant a favor to the High Commissioner?”
“Well, I didn’t specifically say that I had to die…”
When Yeonhwa laughed at Alain’s attitude and asked, Alain suppressed the urge to sigh and continued talking.
“Ha… , Great. I lost. I never thought you would have something like that… Student Eugene, let me ask you first, where did you get that item?”
“This is an item I discovered by chance and acquired in a dungeon I conquered.”
“I can guarantee this as I have conquered the dungeon with the owner. “What you say is true, master.”
To confirm whether the book was indeed genuine, Eugene answered the question Allain asked along with her declaration of defeat.
And Genos understands that the war of nerves shown by Aline and Eugene is caused by him, so he quickly supports his remarks in order to become the owner’s strength.
“Master… “I would like to ask just in case. Is the current Genos’ personality modified?”
In response to Genos’s remark, Alain asked Eugene with an expression of confusion rather than persuasion.
Eugene smiled bitterly and nodded without hiding the fact, and Alain looked at Genos with a slightly complicated gaze and muttered.
“How did I fall that far? …”
As Genos was a warrior, he was a student who showed quite outstanding performance within the academy. Therefore, he had personal acquaintance with Allah.
Therefore, Aline’s feelings were inevitably complicated by the fact that such a student’s personality was completely destroyed and remodeled through slave imprinting after he became a slave.
Of course, Aline didn’t think much of the fact that her personality had been altered.
As mentioned before, in Orbital World, slavery was the highest level of punishment given only to felons.
In addition, since there is a widespread perception that it is natural to modify the personality of her slave if possible, Alain does not have any regrets about the fact that Eugene modified the personality of her slave, Genos.
She just felt a little complicated by the fact that the promising person she knew and had high hopes for had now completely disappeared.
“It is even more difficult to enroll slaves who have undergone personality modification as students at the academy…”
In addition, aside from personal feelings, there was also the practical problem of accepting slaves who had undergone personality modification as students again.
Slaves who had undergone personality modification were beings comparable to Crescent’s fanatics, who would do anything for their masters.
It is a being that is literally wielded for its owner, closer to a tool than a human being, and to put it another way, it is a being that does whatever the owner wants.
‘There is no precedent for slaves being admitted to the academy in the first place.’
That is why the academy does not admit slaves to the academy. Even if the owner gave permission.
The saying that they would do anything for their master also meant that they could cause any accident if the master ordered them to do so.
Of course, the principle is that the master must take responsibility for what a slave does, but it is an undeniable fact that a personality-modified slave who can kill a person with a smile if the master orders it is a dangerous person.
There could have been an immediate attempt to cause terrorism through slaves, so it was natural for the academy not to admit slaves.
Therefore, no matter how many students were originally enrolled at the Academy, their enrollment at the Academy could not be acknowledged at the time they became slaves…
“The story is that coming out of a dungeon means being buried. In other words, it is not impossible for data that was originally not possible to appear.”
… The negotiation material Eugene brought up was simply too attractive to uphold the academy’s unwritten rules.
When I met Yeonhwa just before, she spoke as if she was giving up her status as a 6th circle beginner, that is, a master.
Although he maintains a youthful appearance right now, it is true that he is actually giving up halfway as he gets older.
However, to put it another way, giving up halfway means not giving up half of the time.
That’s why she developed a completely separate Reverse Circle Gymnastic, rather than a Mana Gymnastic with each characteristic and attribute.
In short, the negotiation material presented by Eugene to Aline, who is a researcher and wizard by nature, is no different from a drug that he cannot refuse.
‘There’s no way Alain could refuse this.’
And Eugene, who already knew Alain’s personality through the original work, knew very well that Alain had no choice but to agree to his deal.
‘This is a type of hidden piece.’
It is a bit ambiguous to call it a hidden piece because it is not something that will help you right away, but it is an item that ultimately opens a path to reach the hidden piece.
‘Research on Atom Mana Gymnastic will begin by handing this over to Alain, the former tower owner of the Rebirth School.’
Hidden Piece, Atom Mana Gymnastic can be said to be the highest point that can be reached when taking the wizard route, or to put it more simply, it was a mana refinement method.
‘It can be said to be equivalent to the Heavenly Demon Godkong that can be learned through Yeonhwa in the martial arts route.’
The problem is that, unlike the Heavenly Demon Divine Techniques such as Guyu Shingong or Mahwa Station Heavenly Technique, which can be learned ‘unconditionally’ if you become Yeonhwa’s disciple, this Mana Gymnastic is not something that can be acquired unconditionally.
‘I should hand this over to Alain, have him start researching, and then help him periodically.’
Alain had to provide the materials needed for research or materials such as elixirs.
Should I say that the problem is that some of the materials that must be handed over to Alain at this time can be obtained from some heroine routes, but cannot be obtained from others?
‘Among the materials needed for research, there are materials that can be acquired randomly regardless of the route.’
Even if he gritted his teeth and acquired all the data and materials needed for Alain’s research, the probability that Alain would complete Atom Mana Gymnastic was by no means 100%.
The probability increases as you acquire materials and materials, but if you are unlucky, you may not be able to complete Atom Mana Gymnastic even if you acquire and hand over all materials and materials.
‘The good news is that Dragon Heart Gymnastic is required to be completed during this research process.’
Dragon Heart Gymnastic, which can be used to enter class magic like Atom Mana Gymnastic.
This Mana Gymnastic, which was unconditionally completed as a by-product of Aline’s research, was not the high point of the wizard route, but was a key item in its own way.
It was Mana Gymnastic, which allowed you to enter class magic, which can be considered a martial art in the magic world, rather than circle magic.
However, compared to Atom Mana Gymnastic, it has some shortcomings, but at least there is no problem in achieving great success as a wizard.
‘No, there is a problem, but I can deal with it using various hidden pieces that I know.’
Therefore, when playing the wizard route in the original, if you were lucky, you had no choice but to score high points, and if you were unlucky, you had no choice but to focus on Dragon Heart Gymnastic.
And this was the reason why when Eugene played the original, he did most of the main character’s supernormal route without any attack.
‘Unlike martial arts, where you can always get a high score if you know the route, magic has too much of an element of luck.’
Admittedly, for that reason, Eugene focused on martial arts when playing the original, but that did not mean he was denying the value of the book he was currently holding.
It doesn’t become a hidden piece right away, but it allows you to at least start research to develop the Dragon Heart Gymnastic.
If you’re lucky, you can succeed in developing Atom Mana Gymnastic, and it was literally something that a wizard could never refuse.
‘In that sense, it could be said to be a hidden piece in that it can close a deal with a wizard.’
The value of the item itself was a very small item for Eugene, who was a saladic user, let alone a martial artist, but the value of an item was originally relative.
Even if it’s an object that doesn’t mean much to Eugene, it would be different from Alain’s opponent. Therefore, Eugene was confident that he would never be able to reject his trade offer.
“… Ha, good. First, let’s hear what a trivial request is.”
And as Eugene expected, Alain was ultimately unable to give up his desire to rise as a wizard and made a statement that was almost like a half-declaration of surrender.
He had said that he would first listen to Eugene’s two minor requests and then make a decision, but since he was unable to firmly refuse even though he was the president of the academy, it was as if the conclusion had already been reached.
“The first request is nothing special. “After turning over this book, I want you to pass on the results created through this book to the ‘wizard’ I want.”
The hidden pieces Dragon Heart Gymnastic and Atom Mana Gymnastic are created after researching through the book Eugene is holding.
Either way, it was an item that was of no help to Eugene himself. This is the same story for martial arts users like Yeonhwa and Genos.
However, it was a hidden piece that was more than helpful to the ‘wizard-type heroine’ that Eugene planned to recruit, and that is why Eugene proposed it.
