Chapter 10 – Recharge Mana With Sensitivity 3000 Times
After the ‘Individual Combat Simulation’ lecture, I had dinner with Choi Da-hyun and Lee Rin.
Today, after giving Choi Da-hyun a massage, I returned to my room.
I was thinking about how to make up for my weaknesses.
There is a limit to just betting ‘pain 3000 times’ on a monster.
‘I don’t have any other skills.’
[Sensitivity x 3000] The skill, if I had to ask, is a support type.
You can enhance your allies’ sensory abilities and drive your enemies’ senses crazy.
Since it was still during the course cancellation period, I was able to rewrite the dealer-oriented subjects to supporters.
However, supporters cannot break through the dungeon alone.
A party is a must.
Right now, I have Choi Da-hyun, my closest and strongest dealer, but she is the daughter of the Western Guild.
Even if you graduate from the academy, will you have a party with me…
‘As expected, it’s too uncertain to open a party as a premise.’
According to Lim Kang-tae, who is familiar with the hunter industry, it takes quite a long time for supporters to be recognized as there are not many tangible results.
It seems like they make a lot of money when they are recognized, but they make little money until they are recognized.
It is not suitable in many ways for me, whose goal is money.
The most popular name is the dealer.
I heard that among skilled dealers, there are solo players who clear dungeons alone without joining a party.
‘I have to go solo.’
If I join the party, I have to deal with my skills as well.
To be honest, if you want to, the [Sensitivity 3000 times] Skill is quite likely to be abused.
If rumors circulated that he was doing strange things with his skills, he would only receive bad reviews, let alone money.
Solo means, in other words, that you have to do all of the tanking, dealing, and support by yourself.
There is [Sensitivity x 3000] For support, and even if you somehow evade tanking, the handling was ambiguous.
‘Is there any way to acquire the skill?’
I opened the textbook used in Professor Jeong Na-jeong’s lecture, ‘Theoretical Understanding of Skill’.
Seeing that the author was [Jeong Na-jeong], It seemed that the book was written by her.
Considering that it was a textbook for majors, it wasn’t that thick.
I looked through the contents.
Just in case there’s anything that might be a hint.
======
〈 Discovery of Skills〉
Originally, Hunters focused on subjugation of demons using magic using the body’s magic.
However, in 1952, Thomas of the United States discovered that each hunter had magic that could be used without consuming mana.
Upon hearing Thomas’ announcement, the front-line hunters actively used magic that did not require mana, and achieved great results.
After that, front-line hunters named magic that does not require mana as a skill—.
======
‘It’s magic.’
When I came to the academy, the magic-related subjects had a lower enrollment rate than I thought.
As mentioned in the book, the combat paradigm has changed from magic to skill.
Now, it seemed that only the minimum magic, such as shield magic, was learned in the required course called ‘Basic Magic’.
I haven’t even entered the first lecture yet, but I opened the ‘Basic Magic’ textbook.
The smell of new books stung her nose.
As a basic textbook, this book was not very thick.
======
〈 Mana and Magic Power〉
It has not been clearly proven what exactly mana is, but the prevailing theory is that it was dispersed in the atmosphere with the appearance of the gate.
According to this hypothesis, people who can accumulate mana in their bodies are Awoken, and magic is the work of converting mana accumulated in the body of an Awakener into magical power.
======
In other words, the magic item in the status window showed how much magic I could handle.
However, the amount of magic required for the shield magic in the textbook is 3.
My magic power is 4, so my magic power runs out when I deploy the shield magic once.
‘I thought I had found a clue.’
He sighed, put his chin on his chin, and flipped through the rest of the pages.
It turns out that magical power, like awakening, has a large innate factor.
However, in the past, there was an attempt by Nazi Germany to artificially raise magic power, and the phrase that it failed as a result caught my eye.
It was about trying to improve mana sensitivity, a channel through which mana can accumulate in the air, with drugs.
Sensitivity is also sensed.
I have a skill that can make all kinds of senses 3000 times more sensitive.
‘3000 times the mana response.’
Will the skill really react?
I tried it out of curiosity.
A warm sensation ran through my body.
It was not warm enough to be hot.
I perceived that something had changed in my body.
I immediately opened the status window to check.
The magic attribute section started to go up like crazy like a taxi meter.
I immediately shouted ‘Release.’
[HP: 4 → 142]
Only 10 seconds.
He raised his mana sensitivity 3000 times, and in the blink of an eye, magical power accumulated inside his body.
Now the magic attribute problem is solved.
Then, like the old-generation hunters, let’s fight with magic, not skill.
I turned over the basic magic textbook and looked at how to develop magic.
***
Lying on her bed, Irin couldn’t sleep.
Due to the fact that Kong Dae-seung beat him today.
Gong Dae-seung is Gong-dae-seung and Irin is Lee Rin.
There is no end to comparing yourself to others.
She didn’t know that.
But after 10 years of training, she couldn’t ignore the fact that she was beaten by someone less than a year old.
It kept popping up in her head and bothering her as she tried to sleep.
‘I know he got a special skill.’
This was the case with most of the normal Hunters.
Although he lacks basic skills, he effectively subdues monsters by using his excellent skills.
Even Lee Rin herself was well aware that she hadn’t received such a poor skill.
It would have been better if Daeseung Gong was drunk on his skills and boasted.
Because she can curse her self-destruction sooner or later.
But he’s not like that.
‘Let’s do some training.’
If you move your body, all your thoughts will disappear.
She put on the pink sweats she had brought from home and walked out of the dorm building.
I hesitated whether to go to the training ground in the main building, the physical training center, or the parade ground.
Then, a man caught my eye.
He was an engineering win.
I came out to forget about him at best, but I never thought I’d see him.
‘… But since we’re friends, we should talk.’
A man who has an ambiguous relationship with Choi Da-hyun, more than a friend and less than a lover—Gong Dae-seung.
Where are you going at this late hour?
Are there any other women besides Choi Da-hyun?
That’s why I’m not officially dating Choi Da-hyun.
To appease the grunting mood, I carefully followed him.
Being followed like this was somehow like training.
‘Library?’
A little far from the main building of the academy, there is a library building.
There are popular books that can be found at regular bookstores, as well as various specialized books related to Hunter.
Professors often use it when searching for old literature.
Unexpectedly, is Gong Dae-seung’s hobby of reading?
He said he used it for hospital expenses for his mother, who earns money, so he might have had a hobby that didn’t cost money, such as reading books at the library.
When he recalled the brief past he had heard from him, he felt ashamed of the jealousy he had for him.
‘Ah, I don’t think it’s a competitor.’
I didn’t know exactly what skill it was, but it was clear that it was a skill that weakened monsters.
If so, it wasn’t necessarily a skill that conflicted with Irin’s ability.
After engineering squad weakened the monster with his skill, he took it himself with a bow.
In a way, it was an ideal relationship between a supporter and a dealer.
The fact that he got the second best result after Choi Da-hyun today will soon spread within the academy.
In other words, it was obvious that other people would be interested in his abilities as well.
Now that rumors hadn’t spread yet, it was an opportunity to get to know him a little more and have a party.
‘… What do you bring out so many?’
After printing information on more than 10 books on the search PC, he took more than 10 books to his desk.
Then, with a serious expression, he began to read the book.
On the surface, it was not a general cultural book or literature.
Lee Rin approached behind Gong Dae-seung.
He didn’t seem to notice that he was paying attention to the book.
‘He looks handsome at times like this.’
Gong Dae-seung reads difficult-looking specialized books.
The way he pondered in the middle was somehow intellectual.
… In fact, I didn’t get very good grades in the written test, so my score in the entrance test was fifth from the back.
What kind of book could it be? Lee Rin poked her head out to the side of the head of the College of Engineering.
It was a rather old book.
It wasn’t written only in Korean like books these days, but Chinese characters were also mixed in between.
The moment he reached out his hand as if to read another book.
“Oh, what a surprise!”
As if he had finally noticed Lee Rin, he was furious.
She was so surprised that she even put her hand over her heart.
“Hey, you really are. I thought it was falling between people.”
“I’m sorry, I was just curious.”
Lee Rin sat next to Gong Dae-seung.
I looked at the titles of the books he brought.
There were only books related to magic.
She asked, widening her eyes.
“Are you studying magic?”
“Uh, what…”
He smiled shyly
She must have wanted to keep it a secret from others, Irin guessed.
“I won’t tell anyone else, so tell me why you are studying magic.”
Gong Dae-seung glanced at Irin’s face.
As she smiled, he let out a deep sigh.
And she briefly explained that she had a weakness in her skill and that it was a use she wanted to compensate for.
Irin felt that she was a bit reckless, even though she understood his thoughts.
The decisive reason why magic has died in the hunter industry is that it requires magical power.
Compared to skills that do not require mana and can be used almost indefinitely, magic cannot be used any more when mana is depleted.
“Then let me help you!”
“What?”
“Magic. You really should be able to use it in practice. If you fight with me—”
A good suggestion, she thought.
However, Gong Dae-seung cut her off.
“A bit of sparring.”
“… Okay? Why? During the entrance exam, Dahyun Choi fought well.”
“Because you might have a trauma.”
Irin was a little annoyed at his words.
Trauma?
It was as if he was telling me not to do it for the sake of my mental health because I could clearly see that I would be trampled on by his power.
Irene smiled and said.
“I am not that weak.”
“Know.”
“Then why?”
Gong Dae-seung let out a small sigh and replied.
“Do you remember that Dahyun did something strange two months ago?”
“You said you were giving money because you didn’t want to get sick?”
“Yeah, that’s because I had a trauma during the entrance exam match. You don’t want to be like that either.”
But now Choi Da-hyun is almost clinging to Gong Dae-seung.
What skills does he have?
The more we talked, the more confused we were.
Then the librarian came next to the two of them and said.
“Because it’s library closing time. Please borrow the book you read and bring it with you.”
“Ah yes.”
Gong Dae-seung borrowed more than 10 books as they are.
Lee Rin went outside the library building first.
He came to her side.
And she said with a laugh.
“If you want to give me money, you can fight. Maybe once you taste it, you’ll keep giving me money?”
“What is that?!”
Thinking that she was good-looking, she was Yi-rin, who wanted to get rid of herself.
