I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 24 - Sword Master's Visit (1)

After the twists and turns of the competition, several changes came to Seo-jun.

Among them, the most notable change was that none other than Seo-joon finally held a spear in his hand, not an iron bar.

on the day the competition ended. As promised, Seoyoon gifted Seojun a weapon.

It was none other than Chang, and the amount was a whopping 20 million won.

This was also this much because it was discounted through Seoyoon's personal connections. Originally, it was a window boasting 40 million won.

20 million won was actually the cost of materials and the minimum labor cost.

From what I've heard, this workshop was often used by the Sword Saint.

In addition, it seemed that the workshop captain owed something to the Sword Saint.

Since the swordsman would not use the workshop just to get a discount, the quality was guaranteed.

Even so, it was clear that it was not as good as the spears sold at Transcendent Academy.

Even though it was a workshop that the Sword Saint frequently used, it was still human-level skills.

So Seo-jun thought about what it would be like to receive the money instead of using a sly trick to get the spear as a gift from Seo-yoon.

He could have bought the Longinus Spear if he saved a little more by adding the money he had now and the money Seoyoon gave him.

however.

< Calculate the causal rate and measure the right price... >

.

< 120000000 ? >

‘This bastard's causal rate is real...'

This damn bastard's causal rate did not allow such expedients.

It seemed to be of no use unless Seo-joon himself worked hard and obtained it.

‘Is causality necessary literally?'

Seo-joon was able to understand causality, albeit vaguely.

In the end, Seo-jun decided to use the spear Seo-yoon gave him as a gift.

And Chang liked Seo-jun considerably more than he thought.

Whoo!

With a light swing, a crushing sound cut through the air.

The feel of the grip and the taste of the swinging hand were just right.

Indeed, I thought that it was a workshop that the swordsman often visited.

“Do you like it?”

“yes. I like it better because it was given to me by Seoyoon.”

Seo-yoon laughed slightly at Seo-joon's non-joke.

Then he pointed at one corner with his finger and said.

“Then can’t we just throw that away?”

Let's follow Seoyoon's fingers and turn our gaze to one side of the academy training room.

I saw an iron bar lying in the corner.

It was none other than the iron bar Seo-joon used until the competition.

Seojun smiled and replied.

“There is no need to throw it away. Still, I got it.”

“Jung-eun… ha ha, do whatever you want. Instead, you can't be stubborn and use an iron bar. You know?”

“yes. Sure.”

Seojun nodded.

Then suddenly, Seo-joon is playful.

“But sometimes…”

“Ah!”

Seeing Seoyoon shouting out loud, Seojun stopped laughing.

Seoyoon looked at Seojun and shook her head with a deep sigh.

Come to think of it, why is that iron bar still intact...

Then, out of curiosity, Seoyoon asked Seojun.

“Oh Seo-joon. I wanted to ask from before, what kind of mana technique does Seo-jun use?”

“A mana seniority method?”

“yes. Seeing that you caught monsters the other day, you seem to know how to handle mana, and seeing that you fight in contests, it doesn't seem to be a very low grade. I've never seen you use it with my own eyes.”

“Ah...”

Seo-yoon's words reminded Seo-joon of a thought he had forgotten.

‘Come to think of it, I haven't learned how to practice mana yet.'

In fact, when it comes to being a Hunter, what can be said to be basic was the mana practice method.

Mana seniority refers to a way to use mana more efficiently, and it could be said to be the source of power for hunters to act as hunters.

If the qualification condition for mana handling is awakening, then

the mana training method is the way to awaken mana and use it efficiently.

And you had to learn this mana practice to be able to handle mana and penetrate the monster's mana shield.

However, since the methods were all different, they were divided into upper and lower seniority methods according to efficiency.

Therefore, each Hunter Academy had its own mana performance method and it was registered as a patent.

This was also one of the reasons why he tried to enter a prestigious academy by spending expensive money.

Seo-jun, who had reached this point, asked Seo-yoon.

“Could it be that Dream Academy teaches you how to practice mana, Master Swordsman?”

“Ah... that's not it. Grandpa strictly forbade it. I don’t even want to do that.”

also so it is

If that was the case, the dream academy would have collapsed in order to learn at least one of the sword master's mana techniques.

“Instead, I will teach you the mana practice method I invented.”

“yes? Did you invent the mana technique yourself? Are you Seoyoon?”

“yes. Because I am interested in teaching.”

Seoyoon replied calmly, but Seojun was quite surprised by that fact.

It's a mana practice method that all hunters have, but not everyone can create it themselves.

At least it wasn't something that could be said to be interested in teaching.

If that was possible, it would have been like that from Seo Jun in the first place.

‘He said he had no talent... did he mean he had no talent based on the Sword Master?'

Or, I suddenly thought that Seoyoon's talent might be somewhere else.

“But why do you ask? Don’t you have a mana practice method you use?”

“Oh well… I was just curious. Haha...”

Seo-joon didn't have anything to say, so he blurted it out.

Seoyoon also went on without asking any further questions.

It was because it was rude to ask about mana seniority in detail if he did not want to bring it up.

“Then you are practicing.”

“hmm? Mr. Seoyoon, where are you going?”

“yes. I have some work to do.”

Then Seojun tilted his head and asked again.

“What to do? Seoyoon, did you have something to do?”

“Then did I look like someone with nothing to do?”

“Wasn’t it?”

“...”

Seoyoon was speechless for a moment.

Because it wasn't wrong.

“Ah anyway! I have work to do today. If I'm not there when you go home, secure the door and go. Got it?”

“yes yes. Don't worry and go.”

Seo-joon let out a smile.

Seoyoon left like that.

‘Hmm...'

Seo-joon put down the window for a moment and was lost in thought.

‘I think I'll have to learn how to practice mana...'

Seojun couldn't handle mana at the moment.

Although he had not been aware of it, there was a huge difference between handling mana and not being able to handle it.

I could tell that just by looking at the last fierce battle with Lee Jun-hwan.

Significantly different movement and destructive power when using mana.

In particular, even thinking about that aura sword now made me feel cold.

He was able to win with the reverse divergence learned from Hang Woo's lecture, but Seo-jun wasn't sure if he would be able to win if he faced him again.

“I can see a lot of deficiencies.”

That's why Seojun could clearly feel his shortcomings in this competition.

Things I didn't recognize when I was training alone rose to the top of my consciousness as I bumped into and fought with other students.

It's good to listen to transcendent lectures and do dungeon raids.

I thought that if I had an opportunity like this, it would definitely be good to go to a contest like a contest.

“It's good that you got into the academy.”

Seo-joon let out a smile.

“Anyway, I need to learn mana... More than that, when will the mentor come?”

I'd forgotten about it, but I hadn't seen Seo-joon's mentor since the first meeting.

After checking the profile and saying he would come, he only recommended the lectures of Shakyamuni and Chiron and left it unattended for 39 days.

Is it taking a long time to check your profile or is it the mentor's advice to do it alone?

It was a simple intuition, but I thought that the mentor would come only after the free pass period was over.

“You will know when the time is right. After all, training is what I do.”

Seo-joon thought, but the worry didn't last long.

Seo-joon immediately connected to the transcendent academy's community, ‘The Beginners' Chatter'.

Now that the progress of the lecture has risen just in time. There is also time to listen to one more lecture.

There was no reason to wait for a mentor who did not know when he would come.

Set the search keyword as ‘Mana' and search.

how much time has passed

『[Executioner of Oblivion]: Is there a good mana lecture in the free pass?』

Seojun was able to find a post and clicked on it without hesitation.

Hold on.

『It's just as the title says, but to elaborate a bit, I don't know how to handle mana yet.

After consulting with the mentor in charge, he said that it's still okay, and he told me to stick to the lectures I've been taking...

Mana is the most important of the required transcendental subjects.

I keep feeling anxious that I have to prepare from now on. Is there

any

Mana lecture that I can listen to lightly during the free pass lecture?

As I scrolled down, there were comments.

?[Magic is an adventure into the unknown]: What kind of job do you want to transcend?

?[Executioner of Oblivion]: Ah, it's a combat job. The main weapon is a sword.

?[Magic is an adventure into the unknown]: If it's a sword, yes.

B[Enforcer of Oblivion]: ??.

?[Sword Return]: By the way, if you are talking about mana lectures in the free pass, are you talking about how to practice mana? If it's something like that, I'm against it...

B[Executioner of Oblivion]: Oh, is that so? But I'm not in a position to listen to individual lectures...

B[Return of Swordsman]: Still, it's good to learn how to practice mana properly when you first start. Once you learn something wrong, it's almost impossible to undo it. I don't know anything else, but it's good to listen to the advice of mentors. If you rush to cover, you will go back farther. Don't fret. Anyway, the process until transcendence is long.

B[Enforcer of Oblivion]: That's right ??. Thanks for the advice.

?[Return of Swordsman]: Hmm... If you're feeling down, Merlin's lecture is fine. He is an instructor specializing in magic, but he teaches really well about understanding mana. If you learn it, it will definitely help you later when you learn how to practice mana. Actually, I was offended by this one at first.

?[Executioner of Oblivion]: Hot! Is that so! thank you!

“Merlin...”

The Merlin Seo-jun knew was the great wizard in the legend of King Arthur.

Known as a wise man, he was a high-level magician, so Seo-jun had no choice but to worry.

“Hmm.”

It was because Merlin was a ‘wizard'.

Seo-joon searched for Merlin in the free pass section.

『[If you learn mana, you can see the world. (Instructor: Archmage Merlin)]”

Then a lecture came to mind.

< Would you like to attend this lecture? >

< After completing this lecture, you will acquire 'Insight [S]'. >

“S grade? Is it a lecture on the free pass?”

Seojun was quite surprised.

That's also because most of the rivers in the free pass were all B or A except for the SSS, Shakyamuni.

Considering that the rannachal obtained from Jecheon Daeseong's lecture, which cost 27 billion won, was S grade, I was able to guess how high the grade was.

Seo-joon pressed the play button after thinking for a while.

Hold on.

.

.

.

[The law of the phenomenal world where the students belong is often called the law of cause and effect. It is very strict because it is the law that makes up the world.]

What appeared on the screen was an old man with a white beard and white hair.

He was wearing a wide, long-brimmed hat and gave off the impression of a college professor somewhere.

[Magic means a method of twisting the laws of such a world to perform miracles. A ball of fire suddenly appearing in the air A shaking of the ground without reason. How to create an effect without a cause. That is magic.]

[Thus, a wizard means a person who twists the laws of the world and performs miracles. And the method and means by which such a wizard can shake the strict laws of the world is mana.] [

Originally, the theory of mana justice should be explained, but today is the first day, so I'll briefly explain...]

[A wizard is the world's Zaio connects the world and his own mental world through language. And what you need in the process of persuading the world of your own mental world laws and persuading them is manaio.] [

But as I said, the laws of the world are very strict. That's why the more you shake the world's laws, the more you need a high-level mental world and a lot of mana.]

When you've heard this far.

Seojun seemed to know why he was in S grade.

A lecture with a different meaning than Shakyamuni's.

Right.

Perhaps knowing Seo-jun's feelings, Merlin continued by snapping his fingers as if to evoke the atmosphere.

[Then I have a question here. Unless a magician can perform miracles simply with mana. Then how can warriors, or non-mages, exert such superhuman strength?]

[To begin with, they don't just use mana either. They connect the world and their mental world in a little special way... Actually, I can't define it.

] It's because you use the same logic.]

Then Merlin said.

They use mana to fool the world with their personal will.

They bring things that are mere imaginations of individuals, deceive the world, and descend into reality as if they were the laws of the world.

The representative case is the absurd power that has never existed anywhere, but exists.

It is the Auror that embodies mana.

[Persuasion and deception. It's a subtle difference, but meddling with the law is the same thing. How... I think the explanation was a bit long. Cheers.]

[Now, I'll just explain it like this and demonstrate it myself.]

At that moment.

[Daily personal assignments have arrived.]

[The causal rate is calculated and assignments suitable for the current student's level are given.] The

daily assignments came to mind while encroaching on the smartphone screen.

“Is this also a daily assignment...”

Seojun sighed and checked the daily assignment.

-Formation of 1000 Mana Spheres. [0/1000]

After checking Merlin's daily assignment, Seo-joon was a little embarrassed.

That would be the case because Seo-joon didn't know how to use mana, much less how to shape the mana sphere.

However, as if knowing Seo-jun's worries, fortunately, Merlin has a way to feel and handle mana.

And the basic things that shape the mana sphere were taught.

“Shall we do it right away?”

Seo-joon performed Merlin's daily tasks right there.

But is it because of Chiron's senses?

Seojun did not have much difficulty in feeling mana, and there was no great difficulty in handling it.

However, shaping it was a slightly different matter.

No matter how much Chiron's senses he had, he couldn't handle it skillfully for the first time in his life.

Thankfully, Merlin's tips were of great help.

Seojun kept repeating it dozens of hundreds of times.

Woo woo woo.

At the end, Seo-jun was able to shape a very distorted mana sphere.

“Oh… these are mana spheres.”

Seo-joon checked his daily assignments just in case.

But anyway. It was not counted in the number of daily assignments.

“You'll get used to it when you do something.”

Seojun did not pay much attention and looked at the mana sphere he had created.

I don't know why, but just looking at this small bluish sphere made my heart feel refreshed.

It was just then that he was staring blankly at the sphere.

“You bastard...!”

An old voice rang out from somewhere.

There was power in the voice, but it seemed to have lost some vitality, and it was definitely that of an old man.

‘Who is it?'

So Seo-joon had a question.

There were only two people who would come to Dream Academy.

Seojun and Seoyoon.

However, there is no way that Seoyoon, who went out saying she had something to do, would suddenly become old and come back.

Seo-joon tilted his head and turned his head in the direction the sound came from.

“Who are you... uh?”

And Seo-jun put a question mark on the sight he saw.

It was because Seo-jun's eyes reflected the face of the swordsman, a being that was only seen in the media.

And that swordsman, for whatever reason.

“What are you doing?”

Seo-joon... No, to be precise, he was gazing at the mana sphere in Seo-joon's hand, and he was burning up a thick murder.
