I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 14: Secret Magic Lesson (2)

Chapter 14 Secret Magic Lesson (2)

If youre not here for something important, please scram. Im a bit of a busy person.

The lobby became silent in an instant.

No matter how much of a gangster-like ruffian that person was, wasnt he still Guildmaster Yoo Sung-Euns little brother?

There was almost no one who could talk like this to that person.

The female employee sitting at the reception desk also looked at JaeHyun wide-eyed.

At JaeHyuns confident attitude, Yoo SunJae frowned severely.

What?! This damned little bastard!

Yoo SunJae quickly grabbed JaeHyun by the collar and yelled loudly.

You. Do you know who I am? Im going to be the next leader of this Yeonhwa Guild! Alright?!

I apologize, but I dont think that will happen.

What?!

At JaeHyuns words, Yoo SunJae paused for a moment. He didnt lose the opportunity and continued.

More than that, please let me go. If you dont want to really get it.

At those words, Yoo SunJaes hand immediately went up.

And just before that hand touched JaeHyuns face.

Yoo Sung-Euns voice could be heard coming from behind.

Yoo SunJae! Stop!

Noona?

Editor Note Noona: A term used by males to address an older sister or female friend.

Yoo SunJaes face contorted.

His gaze went back and forth between JaeHyun and Yoo Sung-Eun.

This kid is my guest. See what I do to you if you touch him.

Ha really. How can a kid like this be called a guest? If you have time to take care of such a brat, you should take more care of your little brother. You didnt send me any money this month either.

Theres no reason I have to give you money every month. I think I told you before. That you arent my family anymore.

Tsk.

At Yoo Sung-Euns words, Yoo SunJae clicked his tongue and spat on the floor.

Even if you do that if you die, this place is mine. Do you know that? This place is mine!

Guildmaster Yoo Sung-Eun wont die.

The reply came from an unexpected source.

Hearing the answer from beside him and not from Yoo Sung-Eun who was further away, Yoo SunJae burst out in annoyance.

He put more force into the hands holding on to JaeHyuns collar and said.

What kind of a place do you think this is for a little bastard like you to interrupt?! Do you know anything about our familys situation?

JaeHyun had a smile on his face.

After he grabbed Yoo SunJaes left wrist, which was holding on to his collar, he added some force and twisted it back.

With a crack, the sound of a bone breaking rang in the lobby.

Aaaarrrgh! Fuck! What kind of bastard are you? Are you one of those Awakened or something?!

What are you going to do about it?

Throwing Yoo SunJae, who was yelling, far away, JaeHyun walked toward Yoo Sung-Eun.

Yoo Sung-Eun spoke while covering her face.

Im sorry. That brats my brother. I already broke ties with him before But ever since the guild took a turn for the better, hes kept finding me to ask for money. Its not good for the guilds image to chase him away, so its always

Its fine. Im used to things like this.

Of course, he had meant that before returning to the past, hed encountered lots of different weirdos and that he knew exactly how to treat them.

But Yoo Sung-Eun, who didnt know this fact, didnt think of it that way.

JaeHyun Does he have some kind of unfortunate family circumstance? And thats why he grew up so mature?

As Yoo Sung-Eun was guessing at JaeHyuns family circumstances that werent even in his profile and looking at him with pity, JaeHyun was silently walking toward the training hall.

JaeHyun suddenly paused and looked back at Yoo Sung-Eun as he asked.

Arent you coming? Or are you going to help your brother?

Yoo Sung-Eun answered with a slight smile.

Why would I?

***

The floor of the secret training hall was not split open like the day before.

He wasnt able to look around yesterday thanks to the Mana Cube, but it was enormous as expected.

The floor was made with Ark Metal, a special material found in dungeons, so it didnt break easily. Even if it broke, it quickly returned to its original form.

Because of its extremely high price, it wasnt used in any normal gymnasium, but such a thing was nothing for the special training hall of the Yeonhwa Guild.

Yoo Sung-Eun started the conversation as JaeHyun looked around with an amazed face.

Before we start our first lesson, I want to see how good your battle sense and reflexes are. In other words, well have a sparring session.

A spar?

JaeHyun asked while blinking his eyes in bewilderment.

Isnt this too much right from the start?

I dont think thats something a kid who broke a Mana Cube in 10 minutes should be saying?

Yoo Sung-Eun added with a smile.

Dont worry. I wont be attacking you.

Thats good, then.

JaeHyun said calmly as he fell into his fighting pose.

Placing his left foot forward and folding his knees slightly, he then lowered his shoulders as much as possible. It was a posture that allowed him to move quickly in a basic fight.

It was the typical sight of a Warrior who was ready to dodge enemy attacks and make use of any openings.

Yoo Sung-Eun spoke with a bright smile.

Okay, now try to attack.

Then

Thump!

Without hesitation, JaeHyun stomped on the ground and leaped toward Yoo Sung-Eun to lessen their distance before stretching out his hand. Using all the reflexes and senses he gained from working as an active raider, he threw a punch.

But Yoo Sung-Eun easily dodged JaeHyuns attack with a slight tilt of the head. Cold sweat flowed down JaeHyuns back.

Just as I thought, shes fast.  Even though shes a healer, the movements of an S-rank raider are at a higher level than I imagined.

Heerk!

Without stopping, JaeHyun immediately turned around and threw a punch at Yoo Sung-Euns torso.

However

Ill call you JaeHyun informally now.

The fist he put all of his strength into was easily grabbed by Yoo Sung-Eun.

Yoo Sung-Eun let out a small sigh.

JaeHyun, you said that you were originally a Warrior, right?

Ah yes.

I think you still havent been able to throw out your habits from your time as a Warrior. How can a Magician just recklessly run in like this?

The moment he heard that, JaeHyun felt like someone had hit him over the back of his head.

Way of fighting, huh. It is something I have been wondering about.

Previously, JaeHyun had the experience of breaking a staff while in the Helheim dungeon. It was because he was unable to discard his movements as a Warrior and get used to being a Magician.

Truthfully, that was also the reason he had reached out to Yoo Sung-Eun and asked her to teach him.

To think she saw all that in an instant. Is it to be expected of an S-rank raider?

JaeHyun once again realized what kind of person was standing before him.

Yoo Sung-Eun put her hand on his shoulder as she spoke.

JaeHyun, what do you think is the biggest difference between combat and magic?

It should be whether you face your opponent from a close or long range.

Yoo Sung-Eun nodded her head.

Thats right. Magician-class raiders are normally the type to weaken their opponent from a long distance and then face them in a fight. But you are trying to close the distance with your opponent too much. If you fight like that, a Magician like you who already has a low defense will quickly fall.

Actually, this was something Ive been thinking of too. But its become a habit and isnt easy to change.

I was too idle. I think theres a need to be a bit more serious. You need to properly experience being a Magician.

Whhhiiiiirl

Yoo Sung-Eun gathered the mana in her body and stretched out her hand toward JaeHyun.

This time, Ill also attack. Of course, it wont be enough to hurt you seriously.

...And besides, Im also a healer.

Fixing her posture, Yoo Sung-Eun smiled meaningfully at JaeHyun.

I know that this isnt everything youve got.

The mana Yoo Sung-Eun had gathered traveled up her body and gathered in her fingers in the shape of thin threads.

Yoo Sung-Eun spoke while smiling brightly.

So do it properly this time.

Soon, a blue light flashed from her hand, and immediately after, an explosion rang out.

The threads gathered at a point and shot out like a laser.

JaeHyun quickly rolled his body and distanced himself from the blue effect.

No matter how great of a healer she was, was it alright to attack a student so mercilessly?

If it had hit him on the shoulder, it would have surely pierced a hole through him.

That was close.

Without even wiping off his sweat, JaeHyun looked out for Yoo Sung-Euns next move.

As expected. Going against this person while hiding my cards is impossible.

JaeHyun looked at her with a very strained expression.

With a hand on her waist and a carefree expression, Yoo Sung-Eun waited for JaeHyun to stand up.

Your turn this time. Try to attack first.

Even before she finished her words, JaeHyun filled his body with mana as well.

Fzzzzzt! pszzzzz!

Active Skill Lightning Chain has been activated.

Swwwiiiiiish!

A lightning attack immediately gathered in his hand.

JaeHyun controlled 4 chains at once and shot them toward Yoo Sung-Eun.

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

Easily dodging the attack, Yoo Sung-Euns face was filled with wonder.

She looked at JaeHyun with an expression of interest and spoke.

An A-rank skill. And Lightning Chain at that It seems youre hiding a lot of things like I thought? However

His breath was stuck in his throat.

Right as JaeHyun was about to attack again, he found himself in a state of tension totally different from the one in the Mana Cube.

A white arrow suddenly floating in the air rapidly shot toward JaeHyuns torso.

Woosh!

Looking at the light arrow headed toward him, JaeHyun lightly bit his lips.

Damn. Too Fast!

Baaaannng!

The Holy Arrow directly hit JaeHyuns torso.

He looked to dodge the attack but had leaped back and merely hit a wall in the end.

The training hall was filled with dust and smoke.

Yoo Sung-Eun started to walk toward JaeHyun while stretching.

No matter how good of a skill, its useless if you cant aim it. Isnt that right?

She had pinpointed JaeHyuns problems.

JaeHyun had a great skill.

Lightning Chain was a high-tiered skill even among A-rank skills.

You could tie up your opponent with several chains, pierce through them with it or use it in several other ways. Plus, there was an additional paralysis effect.

But even with such a great skill, if he couldnt hit the target, it meant nothing.

JaeHyun was currently weak as a magician.

A blank sheet with nothing on it.

Without proper magic control, aiming an attack at an opponent or dodging theirs was difficult.

Was I too harsh?

Yoo Sung-Eun thought as she crossed her arms.

Of course, the spell she had just used, Holy Arrow , wasnt that strong.

However, it was different if one considered whether a middle schooler like JaeHyun could handle it.

Well, Ill know if I look.

<A moment later>

After the dust settled, Yoo Sung-Eun looked slightly surprised.

Different from what she expected, JaeHyun was still standing.

A smile spread across her lips.

This is unexpected. Of course, I did lower the strength of the spell But to think you would still be standing.

As a desire to win filled Yoo Sung-Euns face, the atmosphere in the room heated up. The moment she finished talking, 4 arrows made of light appeared simultaneously.

Then will you be able to survive this?

Slicing through the air, the arrows shot toward JaeHyun.

Damn!

With his eyes wide open, JaeHyun calmly observed the arrows flying toward him.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! 

It sounded as if they were slicing through the air.

Even so, JaeHyun didnt dodge and kept his eyes on the arrows.

Yoo Sung-Eun narrowed her eyes at his strange action.

Is he not planning to dodge? What is he thinking? No matter how weakened the skill is, hed be pretty hurt if he got hit. No way

As Yoo Sung-Eun looked on quizzically, a smile spread on JaeHyuns face.

Yoo Sung-Eun bit her lower lip with a covetous expression.

It doesnt look like hes quitting.

The four simultaneous attacks started to rush toward JaeHyun. JaeHyun quickly stretched out his arm and gathered his mana. His left eye was tinged gold as if it was burnt.

Active Skill Universal Derivation has been activated.

Active Skill Holy Arrow has been successfully destroyed.

With the spell Universal Derivation which had shown its use during the fight against Jeong WooMin, JaeHyun eradicated all four arrows flying toward him.

Yoo Sung-Eun looked at JaeHyun with a shocked expression.

Did he destroy my spell?!
