Chapter 134 – ㄴㅇㄱ (1)
Recently, it has become more common to stay in the private practice room instead of going home immediately after class.
The reason for this is that he has deepened his consideration of the magic he used to use at random.
Among the various elements required to complete magic, the current focus is on form.
Magic basically follows three forms.
Objects, living things, nature.
And in order of these three, the amount of magic consumed and the size of the magic gradually increased.
Magic such as Ice Shield and Ice Spear are representative examples that take the form of objects.
「Ice Shield.」
Basic magic ice shield.
Only the overall shape was in the shape of a shield, and the rest of the magic was nothing more than a block of ice that was unmatched and clunky.
Of course, there are good reasons for doing this.
You can tell just by looking at the ‘Aegis’ that was manifested when defending against a skeleton attack at the Yongsan Mugu Shopping Center.
「Aegis.」
Damn it!
The shape of the huge shield that appears as the surroundings freeze is so different in detail that it would be rude to compare it to the ice shield created earlier.
It is well-carved down to the smallest detail because it contains the shape of the Aegis, which was kept in mind during a confrontation with a Greek hero in the past.
And it is as hard, durable, and has special functions.
Upon impact, strong cold air pours from Medusa’s head embossed in the center of the shield.
“This is a bit surprising…”
In fact, this was an achievement far exceeding my expectations.
I simply came up with a solid shield because I didn’t want to inflict even the slightest wound on the child, but I didn’t know that the special effects of the Aegis would be implemented in the process of implementing it.
That is to say, it was taken.
Anyway.
If I had to decide which of the two shields to put in front of me, ten would pick the Aegis.
But why do wizards try to block their opponent’s attacks with these clunky shields?
The reason is simple.
“It must be because fuel economy is bad.”
It’s just a fuel economy issue.
Assuming that the amount of mana required to create an ice shield is approximately 1, the Aegis consumes about 5 mana.
In fact, this is also the minimum standard, and the amount increases exponentially as more detail is saved and the ability is further strengthened.
In other words, the more clearly the shape is implemented, the more the amount of magical power that goes into it increases.
To give an appropriate analogy… It is easy to think of electricity bills, especially progressive taxes.
Up to a certain section, the graph of the rise in electricity bill goes up gently, and at some point, the start point! Do you jump?
Magic is just that.
Taking care of the details increases the amount of mana consumed, and giving up on it reduces the amount of mana consumed in exchange for reduced defense.
“Actually, this is a nobleman compared to the next problem…”
In determining the efficiency of fuel economy, there is another subject to consider besides the amount of magic attribute consumed.
It is the number of strokes in the magic circle needed to complete the magic.
How many strokes of a magic circle do I have to draw if a wizard other than me implements the Aegis, which is detailed, robust, and has special functions?
“Even if I can’t do it, I wonder if it will be in the triple digits…”
I wonder if the number of strokes will increase to 70 even if it is set as the minimum value, and up to three digits if set as high.
I don’t know if it’s offensive magic, but it’s 70 strokes in defense magic, it’s literally nonsense.
Do you have time to draw 70 lines into the air when an attack is flying right in front of you?
The Ice Shield is the result of a compromise that took all of that into consideration.
Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of wizards said that this level was just right to block attacks in case of emergency, and it was the peak of efficiency created by collective intelligence.
So, in the eyes of other wizards, Aegis was nothing more than a bright apricot.
I know it’s hard and effective, but its practicality is close to zero.
Ruler.
This is now Ice Shield and Aegis Go from the point of view of ordinary wizards.
Then, if it were only me, which one would I use, a clunky ice shield or an Aegis?
The answer is, of course, fixed.
“I’m shut up.”
Shut up and the latter.
For me, who creates magic by freely moving mana without the help of a magic circle, the complex magic circle is not a target for consideration at all.
Thinking like that gave me a sense of what path I should take in the future.
Delicate and detailed magic that is impossible for others and only possible for me.
I’m pretty sure that’s my path.
Of course, this would also be only an intermediate point, not the final destination.
That’s also the reason why they diligently stamp their attendance in the private practice room.
Having experienced the amazing effects of the Aegis, I wondered if it would be a good idea to turn it into an attack.
“There is one weapon that is good to copy.”
Russia’s S-class hero Boris.
The weapon he is holding is ‘Snow Bringer’.
A formidable demonic sword that drops the surrounding temperature below zero just by pulling it out of its scabbard.
In order to recreate the weapon that had been twisted as much as the Aegis when fighting.
The past few days have been preparations for this.
Based on the memories of the swords I faced, I looked up pictures on the Internet and gathered the shape.
And finally, today is the day to reproduce the form.
“Whoa…”
I don’t feel like failing.
However, I only hope that the weapon forged with the cold air itself created by magical power can follow the toes of the original.
Concentrates the cold air on the lightly spread hands.
Damn!
Damn… !
The cold air gathers and gathers again to form a very small crystal.
It didn’t stop there, but continued to feed cold air that had been substituted into magical energy to a small crystal, increasing its size.
The size of the crystal, which was smaller than a fingernail, gradually increased and reached the size of an adult male’s head.
“Okay, the ingredients are complete…”
If you look at it up to this point, it might just look like an ice ball, but it’s on a different level.
Dozens of ice balls have already gone into making a crystal the size of a fingernail.
The amount that went into making something the size of a head… , Even if you don’t have to convert it into a number, you know that it’s enormous.
Now it’s time to shape this material into a sword.
The Snow Bringer is a long, thin sword.
Based on this, he manipulates the shape of the ice to make a long sword like pulling out a tong.
A clear and transparent sword body was created before long.
On top of it, letters from another world of unknown origin are densely engraved.
Under the meticulously implemented sword body, a long nose bridge that covers the upper part of the hand is made, and one hand goes in and a small surplus sack is connected under it.
Finally, a pommel that doubles as a barrier to keep your hand from falling out.
“Oh oh…”
The transparent sword body that absorbed the lighting in the practice room scattered the light in all directions and shone brilliantly.
At the same time, the whole body feels cold.
The practice room, which was cozy enough to fit the nickname of “The one who brings snow,” Has turned cold and frigid like a field in Siberia in the middle of winter.
Some people call this sword the ‘Bloodless Sword’.
The name was given because it cuts down the opponent and freezes the affected area at the same time, so that not a single drop of blood flows.
“It would be nice to shoot this as it is, but…”
Seeing the magic that perfectly formed a sword, I suddenly saw the front.
If I could hold and wield it as well as shoot it… ?
“Once…”
I reached out my hand through the harsh cold air.
As for the sword, he was infinitely sincere, and even the weight distribution was perfect, so the taste of swinging it would not be bad.
The moment you cover the blue sack with your hands.
Wow!
The palms holding the sack turned black.
It was frostbitten without any sign.
“…”
I looked down blankly at my numb hands, then dispelled the magic and left the practice room.
… Where was the infirmary attached?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Thanks to one person’s help, I arrived at the infirmary faster than expected.
The person who helped was the manager in charge of managing the private practice room.
I asked for the location of the infirmary while showing my blackened hand, and he took me there in his car.
The world is still worth living…
“Thank you.”
Grabbing the hand that had turned black in gratitude and saying hello, the manager smiled and shoved his back.
“I said goodbye, so hurry up and get treatment!”
“Yep.”
I knocked on the door of the infirmary, leaving the manager leaving first.
Smart!
“Yes, come in!”
“…”
A familiar voice came through the door.
It’s been a while since class, so there should be only the on-duty healer in the infirmary…
“No, why?”
When you’re scratching your head at this situation that feels like a joke of fate.
The door to the infirmary, which had not yet been touched, burst open.
“You’re not coming in, what are you doing… , Yes? Are you a familiar student?”
The on-duty healer, Han Joo-yeon, sticks her face out through the open door and smiles broadly at my face.
He seemed to remember their last meeting.
Well, since the old days, like my older sister, I was a child with a very good memory.
“The name… , Kim Do-jin! Right? You were so famous!”
“Ah yes. Hello.”
“Okay. Nice to meet you, boy! But where did you come because you were uncomfortable?”
“That is…”
Now it’s slowly reaching its limit.
It is a statue at a level where ordinary people would have to cut off their hands immediately.
A dangerous situation where even the body of the Hunter may have to be cut off if left unattended for a little longer.
I couldn’t help but show her her blackened hand towards her.
“I got some frostbite on my hand…”
“…”
The bright smile on her face instantly faded.
Jooyeon opens the door she was holding on to and holds my arm.
“Come inside now.”
She stepped into her infirmary, drawn by her savage powers.
It smells strongly of disinfectant.
After forcing my body into her soft chair, she immediately knelt down in front of me, dyeing her hand in a pure white light.
「Cure.」
In order to distinguish it from magic, healing was labeled as a sacred act, and was given the name ‘Holy Magic’.
The warm light caught on frostbite and wrapped around the blackened hands.
As the light begins to permeate, the blackened hand from the center of the palm begins to regain its original color.
At the same time, her immense magical energy swirls around her.
The momentum to pour all my magic into one cure.
“Hey, teacher… ? Maybe you’re using too much magic…”
“Quiet.”
“Yep.”
I decided to shut up for the time being in a bloody tone.
Joo-yeon is not an idiot, and she must have an idea.
Hehe, hehe… !”
… There was a moment when I thought that.
He’s just stupid
No matter how urgent the situation was, efficient healing would have been possible if the mana consumption was reduced and the healing time was longer.
“Hey, are you okay?”
When I asked Juyeon, who was gasping for breath with her shoulders drooping on my knees, she suddenly raised her head and glared at me with sharp eyes.
“Can you explain what you were doing to get this frostbite?”
“…”
What is this
The atmosphere is strange.
I feel like I’m on the verge of being scratched by my wife…
Is this correct?
