Chapter 388 – Chapter 388. Close Combat Training
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja –
Nam Da-eun and I simultaneously increased our distance, and as soon as the magic barrier in the arena was released, I collapsed into my seat.
“You worked hard. Hoyeon-ah.”
Haha… Yes. Thank you.”
I put down my training sword and sighed.
After all, moving your body yourself is filthy hard. The choice of choosing a wizard in the first place was also perfect.
“Would you like to hydrate?”
“Ah, thank you.”
“No.”
Scarlett held out the water from the side.
But I feel a little better after drinking water.
“Whoa, how was it just now? I don’t think it was that bad.”
Wiping my sweat, I asked Nam Da-eun, who had just dealt with me.
It was the first sparring without the use of magic, and considering that Nam Da-eun watched it, the sparring wasn’t bad.
In the first place, I hadn’t already thought about defeating Nam Da-eun.
Even this much is satisfactory enough.
“Well….”
“Hmm.”
I waited for a response from both women.
Nam Da-eun, who was quietly contemplating, opened her mouth first.
“I think it’s good. If you polish it, you’ll be able to compete with me.”
“Is that enough?”
“Yes. Hoyeon has talent.”
Nam Da-eun smiled bashfully and said.
Certainly, I think so too.
It’s a knife that I haven’t learned at all, but if it’s this good enough, it’s worth using.
“I think differently.”
“Mr. Scarlett?”
However, Scarlett’s next words calmed my excitement.
“He definitely has talent. He surpasses the melee combat abilities of most cadets I’ve seen.
“But what’s wrong?”
If your magic is strong, but your close combat ability is strong, isn’t it very strong?
As if answering my question, Scarlett continued.
“Because you, who uses magic, are much stronger than Yang Yang from the beginning. I don’t know where your goal is, but I think you’re probably looking at a much higher place.”
“… Yes. That’s right.”
Maestro and the Demon King of Hell.
You have to deal with the strongest villains in the world.
Moderate strength is far too lacking.
“I think it would be better to focus on magic and learn the basics of melee combat rather than spending time on melee training.”
“Hmm… You’re right, but it’s also because of the magic nullification barrier.”
Like Scarlett said, of course I know that using magic is stronger.
The problem is that there is a barrier that nullifies magic in the pandemic.
I’m trying to do this because I’ve actually experienced it.
Without it, I can only practice magic comfortably.
“A barrier that nullifies magic. That’s no big deal.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If the opponent can’t use magic, it’s hard to inflict great damage, even if it’s a demon.”
“But humans and demons are different in weight class. What if I hit them with a weight class when I don’t have magic power?”
“Such elaborate combat is impossible with the body of a demon, and even demons capable of doing so cannot inflict great damage if they do not have magical power. As I said, if you learn basic countermeasures, you can block the opponent’s attack and withstand it.”
Scarlett took out some papers from her bosom.
“I’ve made basic textbooks for melee combat like this… I don’t think I’ll need this.”
“… You said you made textbooks? When did you start preparing them?”
“I’ve been preparing since I mentioned it before. However, I think Hoyeon’s sense is better than the theory. Just in Dalian, her handling was so perfect. However, I don’t have the basic skills, so I think I’ll just have to increase that point.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
I am calibrated with perks when it comes to combat.
In most situations, it’s safe to say that my choice is the best.
Scarlett put her textbook back into her bosom and continued her words.
“I’d rather do sparring more. You called us because you felt something while fighting Seongmin Moon.”
“Yeah. The close combat troops are superior to me in terms of speed, so I wanted to overcome that.”
“Actually, it makes sense to be at a disadvantage the moment the wizard gives distance… But let’s try it. This time, Da-eun and I will attack at the same time.”
“…Me too?”
“Yes. That will increase Hoyeon-sama’s multitasking ability.”
I nodded.
Anyway, if it’s sparring, it’s okay to make it harder.
“Okay.”
“Think of us as being strong enough to withstand your magic lightly. Then we might think of another way.”
I activated the sparring mode of the training ground.
There was no danger of getting hurt because he had put a lot of mana into it.
On the other side, Scarlett and Daeun Nam took their places.
A pleasant sense of battle circulated in his body, which had been heated by the previous battle.
‘I don’t think it’s going to be difficult to deal with the two without pressing down with magical power.’
I reflected on Scarlett’s words and thought about her strategy.
My specialty is to respond faster than the opponent with overwhelming mana control and strike strong magic.
However, when dealing with strong opponents, the method did not work properly.
It would have been easier if I had a catch technique, but I’m completely straight-forward.
If the opponent thinks they can withstand my magic, the important thing is technique.
What I felt during the confrontation with Moon Sung-min is that there is a limit to multiple casting.
It wasn’t even sparring, it was not enough to cast a few spells in a real melee battle.
There is also a problem with my concentration, and it is a method that the human body cannot handle in the first place.
The software is good, but the hardware is not up to par.
‘I need a way to use magic more concisely.’
Continuing to worry, he gathered mana in his hands.
There was something vaguely in my mind from the time I was researching the core techniques of magic, which is to deploy magic with only the core techniques.
I gathered the core spells of magic and threw them into the air.
PAZ- PAZZW- PICK-
The core technique was perfect, but since there was no further processing, the magic power collapsed in vain.
But I didn’t stop there.
I tried overlapping key techniques, and I also tried to compress it after drawing the entire magic circle.
My goal is to be able to solve all combat situations by myself.
In order to create gaps for the opponent, I also had to have room.
Right now, my fighting style is Professor Im Sol’s low-level compatibility.
I don’t have the overwhelming magic power and casting speed like Professor Im Sol, so I’ll have to try in a different way.
The fighting style itself had to be reworked.
“Hoyeonah? Dalian…”
“Shh. Miss Da-Eun. Leave it alone. You might find something enlightening.”
I could vaguely hear the conversation between the two, but I focused on the sphere in front of me.
Among the many methods, this was the most practical method.
──『Arc Conjuration』 ──
▶ Unique skill
▶ A magic sphere that realizes the core magic formula into perfect magic.
Because it consumes the caster’s mana and willpower, the more it increases, the greater the burden.
───────
“… Done.”
I put the core technique of Tempest Wind into the magic sphere that rotates around me.
Quagga gak-
I smiled as I watched the strong wind created as soon as I put my mana into it.
‘That’s enough.’
A new magic using the core magic formula.
I gave the ability to draw a magic circle to a sphere made with some of my willpower.
In this way, the time required for each magic is greatly reduced compared to multi-casting, which requires drawing a magic circle.
“Arc Conjuration… You can call it an arc.”
If the name is too long, it loses concentration.
Let’s call it an arc for simplicity.
I apologized to Scarlett and Daeun Nam who were waiting in front of me.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I think I’ve got a new spell, help me experiment with it,”
“As much as you like.”
“Please take care of me.”
Charleuk-
I summoned two arcs next to my shoulder.
It gave me a slight headache, but I felt like I’d get used to it.
*
Next day.
Yesterday, I was completely immersed in training and continued sparring until night.
At the end, I had no choice but to stop because Scarlett and Daeun Nam were about to collapse, but I was satisfied enough.
Cheak-
I summoned an arc around me.
I still have a bit of a headache, but it’s much less than when I first made it.
It looks like this could be used in practice.
“…”
“Ah…”
“Guys. Are you okay?”
When I went out to the living room, I saw Scarlett and Daeun Nam lying on the table.
Normally, it would be time to prepare breakfast, but seeing you doing that, you must be having a really hard time.
“My whole body hurts. This is the first time…”
“I’ll be fine if I rest a little… But why are you so lively?”
“I like natural healing.”
Increased natural healing power obtained while attacking Lucy.
This is surprisingly incredibly helpful.
It heals not only the wounds from battles, but also the fatigue from training.
“I’ll prepare this morning.”
Looking at the condition of the two, it seems that I will not be able to eat breakfast.
I took the milk out of the fridge, filled a bowl with cereal from the shelf, and set it down in front of them.
“Thank you Hoyeon-ah.”
“This… Yes. I’ll eat this too.”
“What about the cereal? How delicious is this?”
I laughed at the two of them eating cereal with trembling arms, then turned my head slightly at the sound of the door opening.
“Ah, sleepy…!”
“Good morning, Liliana. But what’s wrong with your clothes?”
Liliana came out of her room with the familiar sound of the door opening.
Liliana lowered her head at my words, and her eyes widened.
“Hmm? Ah, I guess it’s because I fell asleep as soon as the broadcast ended yesterday.”
“Dress a little bit sexy. That’s too erotic.”
I said, looking at Liliana’s sexy clothes.
The costume that barely covered the chest and lower part was too erotic even to me.
What if I show that to someone else?
“Eh? It’s okay. Even a succubus doesn’t have the power to charm on the screen.”
“… What are you saying. Don’t wear it because you don’t like me.”
“Are you jealous right now? Huhuhu.”
“Come and have breakfast.”
“What if you just say you’re a little jealous!”
Liliana went back into her room, frowning.
Have you ever been pissed off?
Kiik-
After a while, Liliana came out wearing a visibly sound sweats.
Then she glanced at me, and somehow she seemed to know what I was asking for, so I went over to Liliana and gave her compliments.
“You can show me.
“Okay. How nice to say that.”
Liliana then rubbed her face in my hands as if satisfied, and nodded her head.
Then he went to the table, poured milk over the cereal, and started scooping it up with a spoon.
No, I have to take the cereal separately and eat it with milk.
Who pours milk on cereal bags?
“Baby Daddy. Good morning!”
“Oh, Rebecca. You look good?”
I was about to say something to Liliana, but Rebecca addressed her.
Rebecca, who appeared stretched out, looked somehow in a good mood.
“Yeah. I think I’m pregnant because my body is heavy for some reason.”
“Um… That’s good news.”
I don’t know how to react whenever you say something like that.
And! Pregnant! Should I applaud?
“And I think the pressure of the pandemic has eased. My connections are starting to reach out to me again.”
“Oh, that’s really good news. It’s not even been a day yet.”
“Yeah. It seems to be holding this side in check. As expected, the baby’s father’s words worked.”
“What did I do? Rebecca did it all.”
And since it’s still the first day, we have to keep an eye on it.
I hope you get good results.
“What is the baby’s father doing now? Isn’t it vacation soon?”
“Yes. Tomorrow is the vacation.”
The words are vacation, nothing special.
It’s just the end of regular classes.
There was no such thing as an event, so there would be no terrorism.
It broke the momentum of the pandemic, and it’s an event that passes quietly in the original work.
“…”
“Huh? Daddy, what’s wrong with your face? What’s not good?”
“No. I got chills for some reason.”
“Come here. I’ll warm you up.”
Rebecca hugged me and stroked my back.
I feel really comfortable because it’s warm, but I’m just worried.
My experience of surviving in this world so far was telling.
There’s no way I’ll ever go quietly
