episode_0007

Hunting day was set for Thursday. I have no intention of catching the goblin in its current state. When I went to look for Do Yoo-geon, I was in a hurry and out of my mind, so I went without much preparation, but now it’s different.

Goblins carry swords, so it would be safe to wear at least an anti-blocking suit.

I don’t like this kind of thing, but I need to get some help from someone I know. I called someone I know. I decided to airlift two sets of anti-blocking uniforms and secretly borrow a Taser gun just for that day.

As a bonus, he asked me to investigate the phenomenon of fantasy. It is said that research takes time because you have to log in and find people you can trust.

Still, wouldn’t it be possible by Thursday? However, the investigation did not end until Thursday, so it was unknown whether resurrection was possible.

So on Thursday, for safety reasons, we postponed the hunt until later and just played normally. I used to secretly use magic while playing Jenga, so I guess that’s normal.

I was able to hear the results of the investigation on Saturday. It is said that logging out during battle is of course possible. It’s even weirder that it’s impossible in the first place. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but they say it’s possible. I can’t guarantee anything more than that because I tested it to death 5 times in a row, but that’s it anyway. However, I was advised to be careful because even if you are resurrected, it still hurts if you get hit with a sword.

“Is that your advice?”

The answer was yes. Did you even report to your father? Well, since he skipped dinner and went around catching slime, I expected him to come see what he was doing. So, you didn’t start the investigation because you asked for it, but you were already doing it?

It is said that goblins wear clothes as well as swords. A sword is absurd, but if you wear clothes, doesn’t that mean you have civilization? This is absurd.

Oh yeah. Since it’s fantasy, anything is possible. World, have some common sense.

Additionally, goblins also use swordsmanship. It’s at a level that ordinary people can’t catch on their first try.

huh?

“Doyugun only caught three fish.”

The person I know asked a few questions, thought about it, and came to the conclusion that it was either a coincidence or a genius. The guy? This answer is more fantasy-like than anything I’ve heard so far. I probably caught it by chance.

Sunday came and I logged in. When we arrived at the preparation room, Do Yu-geon was holding a spear and stabbing it in the air.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh? Are you here? I was just thinking of using a spear instead of a sword. Don’t you think you’re pretty good at using it?”

The guy pretended to stab me a few times. I don’t know if it’s a good stab or not, but I know it’s very awkward.

“I don’t know if I use it well, but it just looks weird.”

“is it?”

“Even if you use it well, it’s a forest, so wouldn’t it be better to quit?”

“They say that it doesn’t matter if it’s a forest because a spear is meant to stab.”

“It’s easy. Carrying it around is work. Your life is at stake. Ah, isn’t this now?”

The guy who was holding the sword, placing the spear between the weapons, looked at me in confusion.

“You’re not risking your life? Have you changed your mind?”

“That’s not it. According to research by someone I know, resurrection is possible. Logging out is basic. So, you can say it didn’t cost you your life.”

The guy thought for a moment and then laughed.

“Can you trust that investigation?”

“Then don’t believe it.”

“Hahaha. Believe it, believe it. Who said it?”

The guy continued.

“Then let’s go on an adventure. Since you can be resurrected, you can make a bold move. Right?”

“Okay. Do whatever you want. But before that, put on your anti-bullying uniform.”

“But what about the bag?”

He tapped his bag diagonally and answered.

“It’s the bare minimum of safety.”

Taser gun and first aid kit. I had just heard advice from someone I knew that there was no need to deal with goblins, just shoot them with a Taser. So, instead of a heavy sword, I’ll be carrying a taser.

I put the anti-bullying suit on the guy and went out through the slime room and into the forest. As discussed, I used my senses to find a nearby goblin. When I pointed out the direction, he took the lead and made his way.

“First of all, my sense is that the goblins move around one at a time, but sometimes they are close together. If you approach them incorrectly, you may have to deal with two of them, so be careful.”

There are no goblins around the goblin I am currently going to, but I warned them to be careful.

“As expected, magic is good. I was walking around looking for goblins, and two of them came at me at the same time, so I had to run away.”

“What? Running away? They said it wasn’t dangerous.”

“Oh, that’s it… I was embarrassed because it was my first time. When we actually fought, it wasn’t dangerous.”

“How can you lie?”

The guy laughed without saying anything.

As I walked further, I saw a goblin in the distance between the trees. As I was told, he was holding a sword and wearing proper clothes. From a modern perspective, the clothes are poor quality and his height is shorter than that of an adult, but he looks like he will fight well.

“Are you sure you can catch that?”

“Hold enough.”

Do Yu-geon raised his sword and headed towards the goblin.

Well, they don’t die, but… … .

“I don’t even know if I get hurt?”

“Yes yes.”

A goblin found this way. The goblin raised his sword on guard and soon ran to the side. The goblin’s appearance was obscured by trees and bushes.

huh?

When I looked at Do Yoo-geon to see what kind of situation this was, he was running to the side, following the goblin. Now Do Yu-geon is no longer visible.

As I focused my senses, I felt the goblin turn around and come towards me, as if avoiding Do Yu-geon. Is this really aimed at this guy who doesn’t seem to have a weapon? really?

Do Yoo-geon, who was running as if to block the goblin, encountered the goblin. As I walked a little further, I saw the two of them through the trees.

The swords clashed, and after a few exchanges, the goblin’s head was blown off. Perhaps due to my lack of visual acuity, I can’t clearly see the clashing of swords. You’d better not even think about fighting with a sword.

Do Yu-geon exhaled and walked towards me.

“See? You can do it like this.”

“I saw it, but it doesn’t help me at all. I can’t even follow it.”

Even if this guy isn’t a genius, it seems true that he is talented. Even though the goblin didn’t just swing his sword, I dealt with it easily.

I walked towards the next goblin. Since the guy demonstrated catching a goblin, I told him I would catch it myself this time.

First of all, I want to avoid using the Taser as much as possible, but how am I supposed to catch it? It would be convenient if a goblin dies while shooting magic from afar, but considering the goblin’s intelligence, I don’t think that will happen. If I get hit by a few magic attacks, I think I’ll use the tree to dodge it and come back.

Umm… … .

I tried shooting magic at a tree. If you just shoot it, the tree will go down, and if you make it curved and shoot it, it will cut it. It would be better to just shoot it first and then when it gets closer, shoot it in a curved line.

Do Yu-geon looked in this direction a few times as he left the road, and then said.

“You don’t have to worry so much. You’re a magic genius.”

“Huh? Why me?”

“Well, the Exploration League is currently verifying the existence of magical power, and you use magic.”

The Exploration League chose several things to verify, and one of them was the presence or absence of magical power. However, it has not yet been verified. All I have to do is log out, use magic, and take a video, but I can’t do that. There is also an easier way. All you have to do is close your eyes, feel the magic, and guess where the grimoire is.

“Maybe that’s just the organization’s incompetence.”

The guy laughed.

“So there is no magic authentication on the Internet?”

“All wizards are the type of person who likes to sit on the sidelines.”

“Like someone who just reads books at home?”

“I don’t just read books.”

It’s really strange that there is no proper magic authentication on the Internet. Why not just take a video and upload it?

Even if wizards aren’t common, at least one person is likely to post a video. Even though it has been almost a month since the fantasy phenomenon occurred.

It’s a rare talent that doesn’t even have a single video uploaded on the internet.

“Okay, maybe I’m a bit talented, but I’m not a genius.”

There are many geniuses in the world and even more talented people, but first of all, not you. The world is not easy for you to conclude that you are a genius without even seeing other wizards. To begin with, I still can’t read using magic, what kind of genius am I?

Although I just said it as a joke, perhaps my talent for using magic is inversely proportional to my personality for uploading videos. So there are wizards, but the video is not uploaded. When I think about it, it seems quite plausible.

The guy shook his head.

“In my opinion, it’s even better than genius level.”

“To what extent?”

“An unexalted genius.”

What did he say? I laughed. The serious expression makes it funnier.

“That would be great.”

I laughed it off.

As I walked further, I saw a goblin in the distance. Now we really have to catch up. I took out a Taser from my bag and held it in my hand. I will try not to use it as much as possible, but if the situation is not favorable, I will use it.

Do Yoo-geon said.

“Don’t worry. If it gets dangerous, I’ll step in.”

“That’s it. Just watch.”

A goblin found this way and walked carefully. This is a different response from the goblin we met earlier. What is the difference?

I gathered my magic power and shot. The startled goblin dodged it, but it wasn’t perfect, so the magic hit his arm. The torn arm turned into golden dust in the air. Oh, this is crueler than I thought. I am reluctant to shoot again. It’s not like I won’t shoot.

I fired my magic again. The goblin dodged behind a tree and didn’t get hit. I felt the goblin coming quickly through the trees.

I fired my magical power just in time to cross from tree to tree, but all the goblins avoided it. Why are you so good at avoiding it? The distance is long, but the movement is excellent for a goblin theme.

“Up to this point, it’s as expected. I didn’t know you could avoid it so well.”

I waited for Do Yu-geon to speak, but there was no answer. When he saw Do Yu-geon, he was watching the direction the goblin was coming from with a serious expression. For some reason, this guy seems more nervous than me.

The goblin came up to four trees.

Magic power was fired. The goblin’s running posture was disturbed, but it missed. I’m really good at avoiding it.

In front of three trees. I fired my magic again. The goblin that grazed my shoulder stumbled and instead of going towards the tree, it ran straight towards me. When Do Yu-geon tried to step forward, he blocked him with his arm.

Probably about two trees away. I made the magic curve into a curve and laid it horizontally and shot it. The goblin twisted his body to avoid it, but there was no point in trying. As the magic power passed through with a generous amount of force, the goblin was cut to death.

Golden powder spread and flew. Cha Ha-neul stirred the flying experience points. This feels uncomfortable. I didn’t really appreciate it when it was slime, but this is just corpse powder.

Do Yu-gun exhaled. The tip of the sword touched the ground.

“Whew. I was so anxious I thought I was going to die.”

“Oh my. It’s funny for a guy who recklessly hunts down goblins to say something like that.”

“Is that the same as this?”

“What’s different?”

“If you walk around a bit, you’re just as different from someone who makes a fuss and me, who doesn’t mind running.”

The guy who knew that thought about asking me to log in every time, but I stopped.

After that, we caught a few more goblins. The more goblins they caught, the less nervous they became, and by the time they caught the last goblin, they were chatting and using magic. It’s true that it’s a risky action, but what should I do if I’m not nervous at all?

When I caught the last goblin and accepted the experience points, a status window appeared.

* * *

Cha Ha-neul, who slept around 10 p.m., woke up at 5 a.m. As Do Yoo-geon said, I don’t always go to bed at 10 p.m., but I always wake up at 5 a.m. The basis of sincerity is keeping the wake-up time.

But today I am quite lazy. Should I sleep a little better today? Life should be fluid.

I slept again. When I woke up and checked the time, it was around 5:30. After sleeping for a while, I was dazed until my brain could do its job. The blanket is warm.

I feel like my mind has become clearer to some extent. After making up the blanket, washing up, putting on my school uniform, I brought coffee from the kitchen and returned to the room.

My mom usually gives me breakfast around 8 o’clock, so I have time until then. I turned on the computer and did some book shopping. I also check attendance at bookstores.

After ordering a few books, I skimmed through the final exam. I’m not really worried about studying. This is because, thanks to my past life, my starting line is different from my peers, and my current life itself is also unusual.

Being unusual doesn’t mean you’re a genius or anything, you just have a good memory. To a certain extent, if you read a book, even if you read it several years ago, you can read the table of contents and recite the content and logical development. Wow, that’s awesome. I think thinking like an adult from a young age had an effect on my brain.

Memory and comprehension are different areas, so it’s not like you don’t need to study, but you don’t have to worry about studying until high school. If you majored in business administration in college, undergraduate school will be no problem.

Let’s end this review of the exam content. Next we will practice magic.

I took out the grimoire, observed it, and then copied the magic circle into my notebook. Originally, I would have practiced holding the grimoire using magic to keep it steady, but these days I am focusing on the magic circle.

Because I thought it was fun. Recently, I was bored and looked at the magic circle, and suddenly I intuitively understood the composition of the magic circle. Strictly speaking, it’s more of a guess than an understanding.

The magic that hides the contents of the grimoire is largely composed of three magic circles. There is a magic circle that creates magic, a magic circle that fixes the magic circle to the grimoire, and a magic circle that accumulates magic power.

Apparently, the use of magic, fixing the magic circle, and accumulating magic power are essential to the composition.

After guessing up to this point, this thought naturally occurred to me.

Let’s break down the magic circle that uses magic and then leave it alone. Then, wouldn’t magic power accumulate in the grimoire as the balance between magic use and accumulation is broken?

If everything goes as expected, wouldn’t it be possible to use the grimoire in battle?

Just like fantasy wizards.
