Chapter 279 – Each Person’s Will
“A sufficiently developed body is indistinguishable from magic. Do you understand?”
As if teaching a new truth, the dean repeated what he had already said in a serious tone.
After that, his eyes were shining, and he looked closely at Jun’s body.
“In that sense, your body is already like magic. I heard that you have better physical abilities than your older brother. I’m very curious how you can do that with such a small body.”
“… I’m pretty sturdy. Well, compared to the Dean and the Pope, it is true that they are small. And even if you stare at me like that, I will never present my body as a test subject. “Never.”
“… Not even once?”
“Yes, not once.”
“… Tsk!”
The Dean clicks his tongue in disappointment.
Jun looked at that and thought seriously.
Should I beat up everything, including training, and run away from the academy right now?
-Juni, all the wizards here are strange!
-I am worried that I may be kidnapped and detained.
Fortuna and Dohwa quickly agreed to that opinion.
If you listen to your wife carefully, you will have rice cakes even in your sleep.
Without hesitation, Jun slowly began to take a step back.
Hehe. I don’t know what you were imagining, but whatever it is, rest assured it will never happen.”
The dean smiled kindly and comforted Jun.
That action had the magic of reassuring people, but Jun’s anxiety did not subside one bit.
A huge handful of veins is grasping his shoulder tightly as if it will never let go.
Wait, what are these blue lines on my hands? Has this guy even activated that new magic?
“Ha~. So, what do you plan on teaching me, Dean?”
Considering the effort(?), Jun tried hard to suppress his anxiety.
However, the center of his body was focused backwards so that he could escape at any time.
The dean must have noticed him and quickly opened his mouth.
“I will teach you, from beginning to end, the magic to make your body into a more perfect magic and the buff magic, which is an essential magic for a power mage.”
“Oh!”
Jun leaned his body forward.
He gave him a worried look, thinking that Fortuna and Hwa had crossed paths too easily, but he couldn’t help it. That’s because the content of his lectures was attractive.
Buff magic.
Magic whose raison d’être is solely to improve the abilities of something.
For a magic warrior like Jun who uses both magic and the body, that magic was one of the magics that must be learned.
In fact, Jun worked hard here and there to learn buff magic.
She purchased or learned from merchants or other adventurers, and also borrowed magic books from the guild’s library using guild points.
However, even though he did that, the number of buff magics Jun learned was not that many.
It was because of the special nature of the buff magic.
‘Compared to other special abilities, its effectiveness and safety are low.’
An auror specialized in strengthening something.
A sacred power specialized in protecting and assisting something.
Unlike those two, whose existence itself specialized in improving the abilities of something, magic specialized in creating and changing something.
No matter how much you used it, the reinforcement rate and safety were bound to be lower than the other two.
‘And the difficulty level of activation is also very high.’
Since magic specializes in creating and changing things, even buff magic like a heretic in the magic world could not deviate from its principles.
Creating a body part of something that is strengthened through magical power, changing an existing body into something else, etc.
The buff magic had a very close relationship with the object or object it was trying to strengthen, and as a result, the difficulty level of the magic had to be high.
Objects basically have a much more complex structure than properties such as fire and wind, and as the structure of something you want to create or change becomes more complex, the difficulty of magic increases exponentially.
If even a crude piece of iron works, what if the object of magic is the body? There was no need to mention the difficulty level.
In fact, although ‘Strength’, a buff magic related to muscles, is the most basic of buff magic, its difficulty level reached intermediate level.
‘Well, the biggest problem is different.’
No matter how stupid it is or how difficult it is, if there is a place to use it, people will use it, even considering the shortcomings.
But unfortunately, there was no reason for the buff magic at all.
Using magic means that the user is a wizard. What would a wizard who spends all his time studying in his closet or is protected by his allies even if he happens to be on the battlefield do to strengthen his sword and body?
Even if a magician is also an adventurer, he or she learns defensive magic or escape magic because it is not cost-effective, and as I said before, magic warriors like Jun who use magic and body at the same time were rarely found in this era.
‘Why on earth does every magic I try to learn look like this?’
Performance like a joke.
Extreme difficulty level.
Disastrous supply and demand.
In the magic world that values efficiency, it was a natural result that buff magic became obsolete.
Naturally, buff magic, like its predecessor, space magic, had almost no magic released on the market.
“I hope to go along well. So what is the first buff magic to learn?”
In such a situation, the contents of the dean’s lecture were, to Jun, like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert.
Even if there was a risk of being kidnapped and imprisoned while drinking water, I couldn’t give up easily.
Hehe. It’s great to see you being proactive. “I feel rewarded for forcing my brother.”
The dean smiles as he strokes his long beard.
It was nice to see, but Jun was really puzzled by it.
“It’s a good thing for me. What did you do so much for? “You could have just taught the students at the academy.”
“Are kids these days picky eaters? Most, or indeed all, of the magic students of all time signed up for this course when they heard that I was teaching it, but after hearing the course content, they immediately withdrew their applications.”
“No matter what, you refuse a lecture given by an orange-level archmage.”
The term ‘manryu-gwi-jong’ is also used in magic.
Even if the branches (specializations) were different, as long as the root was magic, there was always something in common or applicable.
‘So even if the wizard is from a different lineage, if the opponent is of a higher level than you, you will hold on to the leg of your pants and ask for a lesson.’
I was convinced when the dean said that kids these days are picky eaters.
Of course, not everything is like that.
In Jun’s view, only the students at the academy are full, not the kids these days.
That’s right, in guilds, it’s not uncommon to see a wizard grabbing another wizard’s trouser leg and begging for instruction.
Of course, Jun was no exception to that.
Well, thanks to my good looks and connections, I didn’t grab my pants.
In any case, it was clear that there was a difference between the wizard of the academy and the wizard of the labyrinth city.
And I’m not sure, but the reason for the difference is probably the surrounding environment.
‘The wizards at the academy can learn any magic they want. Plus, you don’t have to lose your life just because you know one magic or not.’
Naturally, attitudes toward learning were bound to differ.
So what about a certain beast who has the intention of overtaking the warriors and becoming the main character of this world, and who pursues the path of a magic warrior like Jun?
The dean’s lecture must have been very useful to him, but did he actually attend this lecture?
“Unlike other students, he did not hesitate to apply and participated in the lectures with great enthusiasm in the beginning, but… He seemed to lack physical strength, so we made him do physical training, and from that day on, he started not showing up.”
“As expected.”
The results were not that different from Jun’s expectations.
How on earth can he say the word ‘main character’ when he really acts like that?
No matter how much Jun thought, he couldn’t figure it out.
“Okay, let’s start the lecture. Fortunately, the cardinal’s body is more developed than mine, so I think I can teach him buff magic right away without physical training.”
“I am ready.”
“I understand. Then, first, let me tell you the buff magic that the cardinal knows. “Shouldn’t we waste the cardinal’s precious time by teaching something redundant?”
At the dean’s playful question, Jun chuckled and said one by one the buff magic he knew.
Strength that increases muscle strength by creating muscles made of magic attribute.
Haste that creates magical nerves to increase agility.
An iron body that temporarily changes bones into steel to increase durability.
Hawkeye temporarily changes his eyes to those of an eagle, increasing his eyesight.
Other than that, I mentioned a few more things, but the total number didn’t exceed 10.
Looking at it this way, I really don’t know a few things.
“It’s okay. You just have to gradually increase it. And there is no need to learn many types of buff magic. Unlike other magic that emphasizes efficiency, it emphasizes other things.”
“What is that?”
“It is…”
Slurp
The dean takes off his shirt before speaking.
As I quietly watched him in shock, he lowered his posture and said,
“Oh, oh!!!”
Energy, or rather magical power, began to erupt from the entire body.
The sight of the muscles of the entire body pumping as if bursting and bright blue mana overflowing was literally no different from the transformation scene in DragonX.
My brother-in-law is Mucheondo X, and my brother-in-law is Bro X?
What? What is this terrible hybrid?
“Whoa~”
While Jun was shocked, the dean’s transformation was complete.
After completing his transformation, his body size was more than 1.5 times larger than before the transformation.
The muscles were so pumped.
If Hulk saw the current Dean, wouldn’t he immediately bow and say “Brother”?
“This appearance is created by combining strength, which is the basic of buff magic, and several auxiliary buff magic. “Isn’t it wonderful?”
“Yes? Yes, it’s amazing.”
Jun, who was taken aback by the sudden change in tone for a moment, saw the dean’s muscles twitching and nodded as if it was worth it, agreeing with his words.
Males tend to raise their sassy nose even when they grow a little taller, so it’s probably strange that they don’t become arrogant when their bodies grow that much.
“Yes, I thought you would understand. In any case, this wonder can never be achieved without considering efficiency. You can obtain it only after you have honestly mastered one buff magic and built a body that can honestly withstand the buff magic. Do you understand? Honesty is the lifeblood of buff magic.”
“Yes, I understand. By the way, Dean. “Can I ask you a question?”
“What is it?”
“Have you shown the same wonder you are showing to other students?”
Hehe. It did. “Everyone was so amazed that they cried.”
“…”
Jun thought.
I wonder if the reason the wizards at the academy didn’t listen to the dean’s lecture wasn’t because they were hungry, but for other reasons.
