Chapter 163 – #35_Friendship (2)
#161
One.
Sharon immediately treated Siu.
Just as humans are made of earth in many myths, it is the element of earth that is responsible for healing and restoring the human body in the elemental system.
Sharon generously used 6 grains of jade, the size of millet, an offering of the earth element she had saved for use at an important moment.
“Balance.”
As soon as Sharon swung the wand, the jade that had been on Siwoo’s body melted and seeped into the wound like ointment.
Areas that are red like outdated maple leaves and areas that are about to blister like air bubbles subside, and new skin sprouts immediately.
Siu watched the scene as if it were strange.
“Wow, how quickly do you get better?”
“Of course it’s magic.”
Judging by the extent of her injuries, it was fortunate that Della had cut her hand, most of which were first-degree burns.
Siwoo’s body is a spirit body.
A minor injury like this would recover within a week, but Sharon just couldn’t let it go.
I was injured while fighting Della because of myself, not anyone else, and I can’t just ignore the few pieces of jewels.
“Anyway, you are really great. How did you defeat that Della? He has a different personality and looks ugly, but his skills are certain.”
“There are ways. Who did I learn from?”
Siwoo smiled confidently.
At the sight of him, he felt Sharon press something against her chest.
Sharon, shoving it under her puck, glanced at her watch and said.
“Ah, it’s already time to go to my part-time job. What if I skipped class today?”
“Okay, I think I need to rest for a day or so. Let’s come and have a delicious meal later.”
“Then I’ll wash up and get ready for work. Get some rest.”
“Uh.”
Sharon left behind Shiu’s barely remembered smile and headed to her bathroom.
He undresses her and turns on her shower.
Then he squatted in her bathtub and covered her mouth.
-Shoot it!
“It’s so… So so…”
Even when she was treating her wounds, she almost cried several times, but the tears she had barely held back flowed out like a torrent.
In front of Shi-Woo, when she said that she had knocked Della down, she eagerly agreed with him, but in fact, Sharon didn’t believe him at all.
She couldn’t believe it
Who is Della Radcliffe?
She is a 20th-tier great witch, and in the fire element field, she is the sole runner who has no rivals.
Siwoo’s hierarchy is far below Sharon’s, let alone Della’s.
In general, if there is a hierarchy difference of more than two levels in a duel between witches, a fight will not be established.
It is a story when there is a difference of about one level in the hierarchy that can talk about mutual compatibility or combat experience.
Wasn’t even the 17th tier himself, who was well-versed in elemental magic, easily overpowered?
They fought by sacrificing magic water and tobacco specially treated with volcanic ash.
“Huh…Huh…”
But to say that Siwoo beat Della.
There is only one reason for such a ridiculous lie.
It was for Sharon.
All kinds of burn marks and shaken magic circuits on his body clearly proved that there had been a battle.
Given Della’s personality, she was probably toyed with and then defeated mercilessly.
There are differences in this world that cannot be reversed no matter how hard you try.
How helpless would you have been?
How hard was the battle?
How painful would it be
Sharon dared to say that she sympathized with his feelings.
She knows from her experience that facing a wall without achieving what you want to achieve is terribly cruel.
Even in the midst of such pain, Siwoo told an obvious lie.
As long as she knew that it was Sharon’s fault that Siwoo was hurt, it was obvious that she would blame herself.
She tries to ease Sharon’s guilt by saying that she beat Della at least.
Siwoo, who was kind and kind from birth, would have been able to comfort Sharon with an obvious lie.
Sweet lie.
Knowing the meaning, Sharon also pretended to firmly believe in Siu.
Without the slightest hint of doubt, she accepted his consideration and chimed in with her.
Come to think of it, Siu was always like that.
He set out to hunt the homunculus even though he knew that if he came into the eyes of other outcasts, his statue would be in danger.
He was self-righteous, but as soon as she heard that Sharon was in trouble with her debt, she offered to pay it instead.
She accepted and comforted Sharon, who had nowhere to go.
For Sharon who wants to eat her delicious food, she always waited for her menu choices without insisting on her own opinion.
And today confronted a dangerous witch for her Sharon.
Even after her devastating defeat, she lied about worrying about Sharon rather than expressing her own sorrow.
“Ah….”
Was it because I cried so much?
My heart was beating so fast, as if I had an arrhythmia.
After that, an unambiguous, vivid impulse came to mind.
I felt the urge to run to him and give him a hug.
“Sniff…..”
It was strange.
Sharon shook her head and finished the shower with her magic.
When I go to my part-time job, I should treat him well.
You must be worthy of his consideration, never with a hint of doubt or disbelief.
I’ll also bring up the subject so he doesn’t tell unnecessary lies.
With that promise, Sharon left the bathroom.
2.
Sharon’s magic effect was great.
Because it’s a spiritual body, it seems like it’s recovering well, because the wounds, muscle pain, and the tattered magic circuits were quickly restored.
“Well…..”
Siwoo sat down in front of Sharon’s desk as soon as she went to her part-time job.
It was to recall the battle with Della that took place at Guldari.
I am convinced of this today.
In this tough world where you never know what might happen, having the means to protect yourself is essential.
What would have happened if Siwoo had lost to Della at that time?
First of all, Sharon must have been captured.
Whatever happened to Della would have happened.
Also, the information that Siwoo can use magic spread widely, or even if it wasn’t, Della, who paid attention to his existence, might have attempted to kidnap Siwoo.
Today, various conditions went well and I won, but no one knows what will happen next.
Siwoo’s battles often depended on luck and improvisation.
I realized that not even thinking about sharpening and polishing his power in advance was a careless act.
“Okay, let’s clear things up.”
First of all, a summary of the magic you possess.
It’s not just about organizing, it’s about extracting data about how you can use it tactically.
‘Move coordinates’.
According to my experience today, coordinate shifting cannot be applied to combat right away.
The magic battle with the witch was conducted at a tense and tight pace, competing in seconds.
If Siu had been leisurely moving coordinates or calculating coordinates in an attempt to escape midway through, one of her limbs would have been burnt.
“So this is put on hold…”
It was an all-or-nothing scheme that could be tried later when there was no way to escape, but it seemed difficult to apply it directly to combat right away.
‘The Maiden’s Loom’.
One of the top contributors to today’s battle.
The ribbon weaved on the loom is a powerful joker that can be mobilized for offense, defense, and assistance without being restricted by arm movements.
If you can use it like now even with the number increased, the speed of dispel will increase, and you will be able to use it as a useful means of attack.
It was because Siwoo, who clashed with Ea, knew the fear of ribbon best.
It is also worth noting the way Ea used anti-elasticity by twisting the ribbon.
“Training to be able to move freely even if the number is increased… And practice changing shape…”
“The Law of Shadows”.
This magic played a very large role in Siu’s ability to fight witches.
Had it not been for the Law of Shadows, I would not have dared to engage in magic warfare.
Siwoo, who does not have self-defense, is provided with the minimum amount of protection.
Like a powered suit, it supports physical strength itself or creates a direct means of attack.
In other words, it was the law of the shadow that Siwoo, who had no basic skills, needed to build a base that would enable him to rise to the top of the ring.
In addition, the uniqueness of interfering with the magic formula to partially destroy the opponent’s magic, and the usefulness of being able to change the shape as much as possible, are already being put to good use in combination with the maiden’s loom.
“The nature of destroying magic circles is really good, but…”
But there is also a downside.
It is a clear limitation that, due to the specific nature of the combination of microscopic magic circles, it cannot be used in the face of dense magic power.
In order to become stronger than this, we need to fundamentally improve this.
“This is it.”
Siwoo set the direction of the goal.
After falling down, he was going to tweak his magic a little, just like the law of shadows applied to the maiden’s loom.
Today, I set up a self-study routine by drawing the blueprint.
But how?
Should we weave microscopic magic circles into a net to reduce the degree to which they are affected by magical pressure?
Can not be done.
If you do that, your current freedom of movement will be ruined, and there will be problems with the hardness of your armor and shield.
“Hmm…”
Siwoo’s worries deepened.
3.
After part-time job, Sharon opened the front door and entered the house.
“I’m back.”
“Are you late today? What have you been doing?”
Hearing the sound of a door lock in the room, Siwoo wandered out and found Sharon with both hands full of plastic bags.
Seeing Siwoo’s surprised expression, Sharon smiled awkwardly.
“This, it seems like I always only received from you. I want to buy a meal too.”
“What is that?”
“Snow crab. I just got steamed.”
As soon as the part-time job was over, Sharon went straight to the snow crab house in front of her house.
There, she bought all her snow crabs with a whopping amount of 400,000 won.
This and that is because she remembers that although Shiu enjoys eating it, it is especially satisfying when she eats shellfish or seafood.
It was the first time she had spent so much money on food since she arrived ten years ago.
Because of that, my hands trembled when I calculated, but I didn’t think it was a waste at all.
“Ah, what is it? Instead of you teaching me magic, I decided to buy food for you. How much money will you give me?”
As expected, Si-woo puts on an embarrassed expression and takes out her wallet, but Sharon sternly dissuades her.
It was because if she didn’t show her gratitude like this, she felt sorry for Sharon herself and couldn’t bear it.
“Do not do that. If you don’t take this, I’ll be really angry.”
“Anyway, isn’t it too much? I think I used some jewels for my healing magic today…”
“It’s okay.”
“No…”
“It’s okay!”
She had a brief quarrel, but Siu smiled bitterly at Sharon, who showed no signs of backing down.
In fact, when Sharon was stubborn, Siwoo has never been stubborn.
“Anyway, it’s too burdensome…”
“It’s okay, I don’t feel burdened to go on like this. Let’s eat quickly before it gets cold.”
Sharon and Siu spread snow crabs on the table.
Siwoo repeatedly said thank you, thank you, almost every time he ate.
I feel relieved because he seems to like it and be proud of it.
It’s a relief that she doesn’t appear awkward at all, seeing as she thinks Sharon believes even the lie about defeating Della.
To be honest, she wasn’t very confident in acting.
After adding the last crab and eating up to three ramen noodles, the two went out to the living room full of satiety.
“Do you want to see a movie right away?”
“Good.”
In fact, there was no decision from the homunculus she hunted today, and there was also a huge expenditure, so she had to do something, but Sharon behaved as usual.
I didn’t want to spread the nervousness caused by the circumstances on this side to Siwoo.
Let’s get some rest today.
“Then I’ll change my clothes and come back.”
“Do I choose a movie?”
“Yes, you choose today.”
After her usual conversation, Sharon went into her room.
