Chapter 368 – Dyeing (1)
Joohee Han.
A woman who meets more people in a day than anyone else, but doesn’t really have any emotional interactions with them.
Wealth, fame, power, etc.
There is only one way to get her attention, she has everything any human could hope to possess.
Just magic.
In particular, she is very curious about how I use magic.
So much so that I even wrote a pledge that I must answer truthfully no matter what the question is.
However, regardless of motivation, the number of studies conducted is extremely low.
Because she’s the busiest person in Korea?
No.
She is a woman who can break even her promise to the president at will if she wants to.
If there was an experiment that appealed to me, I would have put all my busy work aside.
The real problem is different.
I don’t know where to start digging to uncover the secrets of my magic.
I can’t even get the feeling that this is where I should start, so I can’t sing.
If I left her alone to think like this, she wouldn’t be able to eat or drink.
So I thought about it.
Where is the essence of my ability to freely manipulate magical power?
“I thought the point was in the senses.”
The answer I came up with was sense.
Eyes that can see magic?
Very useful.
This is because you can read the color, shape, and flow of magical power through your most intuitive sense, sight, and respond and destroy it several times faster than others.
However, eyes only give wings to my abilities and cannot be considered the core.
In the end, apart from the eyes, all that remains is the senses.
“I can feel the magic very clearly.”
She counters my words.
“… “That’s true for any high-ranking wizard.”
“Yes, everyone can clearly feel magical power.”
To put it simply, a wizard is a profession that deals with magic.
Of course, none of the Hunter professions neglect magical power.
However, to express a wizard, the proposition must be different.
A job that focuses solely on magical power.
The only profession that can fit into this proposition is a wizard.
So, in a way, it is natural that someone who has worked as a wizard for a long time is sensitive to magical power.
But the clarity I was talking about is not at that level.
“But no wizard can even feel the proportion of elements contained in the magic power in the air with just their senses.”
“… !”
Han Joo-hee’s eyes widen at my words.
Even wizards who react sensitively to magic can only understand the concentration or flow of magic in the air.
But my body is different.
What is the proportion of each element contained in the magic power in the air?
Where does the flow of magic originate from and where does it go?
The skin that is in contact with the magical energy breaks it down one by one and transmits it to the mind.
Acquiring this information does not end with simply knowing.
“The moment this information enters my head, I feel it.”
The magical being that penetrates every single secret that not everyone knows about is no longer an unknown being or a being that must be treated with caution.
So that.
“All this magical power is in my hands.”
A sense of control is formed that allows one to manipulate all the magical power that exists in this world as one wishes.
And the bold will that naturally combines with such dominance.
“You can do anything if you put your mind to it.”
Create a small world in the palm of your hand.
Lay the hard ground on the palm of your hand and dig a small ditch on top of it to create a river.
Build a tall mountain and fill it with hot flames.
Then, dark clouds appear in the sky and a small thunderbolt strikes.
Lastly, even the wind that passes between heaven and earth.
“Like this.”
Her eyes widen as if they were tearing up as she saw the five elements being manipulated in the blink of an eye.
Clear emotions appear in her eyes, which had always contained only ambiguity.
Disbelief and astonishment.
And hopes and aspirations.
This was a flow.
Distrustful of her wondrous abilities beyond his own understanding, astonished by the evidence before her eyes.
And I hope.
He said he also wants to reach that area.
Finally, I aspire.
I will reach it.
Ask her
“What do you think? Do you agree with what I say?”
“That…”
After hesitating for a moment, she quickly shook her head.
“Ha… “Honestly, I don’t know.”
After taking a deep breath out of frustration, the answer follows.
“Kim Do-jin, your abilities themselves are so foreign.”
“Yes, of course.”
“I am… “Up until now, I thought magic was a science developed through thorough calculation and understanding.”
Deep confusion evident in the eyes.
I think I also understand why you’re feeling such confusion.
I guess it’s because I feel like the magic I’ve been learning throughout my life is useless.
But her thinking was wrong.
“Now, think about it this way.”
To remind her of this, she speaks calmly.
“If Hunter Joohee Han had just become an awakened and entered the path of magic, and tried to awaken magic in the way I said, would it be possible?”
“That… “It’s close to impossible.”
“Yes. Why?”
“How outstanding and amazing your magic is. And there is no basic knowledge to understand how irrational it is.”
Okay.
My magic system is much simpler and simpler than existing magic.
However, learning it is several or dozens of times more difficult and difficult than before.
Maybe even if you spend your whole life there, you won’t be able to get there.
“So I think my magic is the next level of magic that all magicians, including Hunter Han Joo-hee, must reach.”
“Magical… , Next stage?”
“Yes. If, like Hunter Han Joo-hee, you first learn the science of magic, and after mastering it, you reach a method of realizing magic by manipulating magical power with your senses… , What about?”
Then it all makes sense.
If you are initiated into the method of implementing magic through a magic circle made of thorough calculations, and then move from the realm of calculation to the realm of sense based on this knowledge, this is a development process for a wizard that you have never known before.
“If that’s what you said… , It definitely fits together. But that statement also has a blind spot.”
She seemed to agree obediently, then looked at me with her sharp eyes and continued her words.
“It’s you.”
“…”
Okay.
The blind spot in that statement is myself.
If, as I argued, the development process of magic is as above, how should I, a human being, understand that I have entered a realm unknown to others even before learning the basics of magic?
I came up with this answer to that blind spot.
“Irregular.”
An abnormal mutant who has arbitrarily surpassed an area in an abnormal form or with talent.
“… “What if we define it as follows?”
It may be far-fetched or conjectural.
But it doesn’t make sense at all.
Because I am the only person in the world who uses magic like me.
And to be honest, whether I am an irregular or not.
Whether my argument is right or wrong is irrelevant at this point.
“Actually, the key thing to pay attention to here is whether my claim has potential or not.”
You only have to judge based on one possibility.
If you think it exists, you can now prove it through experiments.
If you think it doesn’t exist, all you have to do is discard everything we’ve said so far.
And now I know the answer she will give.
“… It certainly seems like a possibility. No.”
She shook her head with a self-deprecating smile and continued her words.
“To be honest, I hope everything you say is correct.”
She seemed to sincerely hope so.
Only then will the magic I have learned so far not be useless, and I will have hope that I can advance to an even more enchanting level than I am now.
She says with a small, resigned smile.
“Great. This is enough explanation. To be precise, I don’t think I can truly accept it if I hear more about it here. So tell me.”
His eyes became quite serious.
“What can I do?”
She asks.
What can I do?
There is nothing more ridiculous than talking nonsense and not suggesting a solution.
So I thought about it before coming here.
We have already gone through some experiments and confirmed that it is effective.
“First, please sit in the most comfortable position.”
“Sit down?”
“You can stand, you can lie down… “It should be a good posture to increase concentration.”
“… “If that’s the case.”
Han Joo-hee sits down with her butt on the lab floor as soon as she hears what I say.
The posture she chose was cross-legged.
“…”
This is the posture that followed me whenever we practiced together before we got married.
“Is that the most comfortable position?”
“It’s not comfortable. But… , This is the right posture for concentrating.”
“Is that so.”
I decided not to attach any special meaning to it.
Concentrate with your legs crossed because 90 out of 100 people do that.
He sits down on her and moves closer to her and opens her mouth.
“The method is simple. “As I said, feeling is more important than anything else.”
So she looked for ways to further awaken that sense.
“From now on, I will use the magic in the air to stab Hunter Han Joo-hee.”
Just because you stab it doesn’t mean it has physical force.
However, it only gives form to the formless magic power in the air and allows it to react more sensitively by applying it directly to the skin.
Then she asks in her doubtful tone.
“Does that really work?”
I answer confidently.
“Sure. “We obtained meaningful results through the experiment, so don’t worry.”
The samples for the experiment were, of course, our team members.
To be exact, it was targeting Naeun, the same wizard.
I don’t know if it was because I was a child with slightly masochistic tendencies, but every time I shaped my magic into a sharp shape and stabbed it into my skin, my senses awakened little by little.
The problem is that the senses awakened like that disappear soon after the training is over.
Of course, it doesn’t disappear completely.
As I continued to do this every day, little by little, the sensation began to remain in my body.
“Then we will begin. Close your eyes and focus as much as possible to sharpen your senses.”
“… All right.”
She finally closes her eyes.
I begin to prepare her, watching her breathe at a certain depth and slowly sharpen her senses.
It fixes the magical energy that simply flows without any form and gives it a form.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
The magical power in the form of a sharp arrow is brought closer to her body.
The reaction that finally came back.
“… “Is it shaped like an arrow?”
“Oh, you guessed it right.”
Of course, Han Joo-hee.
I think it took Naeun almost three days just to put this together.
“I’m going to make it into a clear shape like this and stab it. Then, we will gradually twist the shape into a difficult shape, and later we will only shape the part that touches the skin.”
“Great.”
A slight smile appears on her lips.
After trying it once, I guess I intuitively sensed that it would help me in some way.
I smile as I see her beginning to accept the direction of her training.
“Okay, then what’s next…”
Instead of taking the form of her arrow, he creates another form of hers that will stab her.
This time it’s a triangle with a pointed end.
The tips of her countless triangles are pointed towards her.
At the same time, I recall an interesting fact I learned through an experiment with Naeun.
As mentioned earlier, this training method is to activate the sense of magical power through the skin.
So, you have to prick it as thoroughly as possible to awaken all the senses in your body, and in this process, a very interesting question arises.
What happens when this sharp magical power pierces a woman’s erogenous zone?
“Now I’m going to stab you, so guess again.”
The triangle slowly moves forward and stabs various parts of her body.
Top of head, face, nape of neck, shoulders, back, stomach, thighs, calves, feet.
And when a few intentionally delayed tips reached her private parts.
“Umm…”
A slightly different sound than when she moaned in worry came out of her mouth.
