“No, we have to make it moderately complicated, really.”

Recently, an old man who is an artifact craftsman said he could modify a mana brace for my training, so I brought him one, and it came back as a bomb that could explode at any moment.

I’ve been researching each one for about a week, but I have no idea how to use them.

To put it bluntly, if I can’t use it, other wizards can’t even use it, but is this old man finally getting senile by making something like this just for training? I just can’t understand it.

“Huh, where did you go?”

Last night, I decided to dispose of something that could not be used for training purposes rather than risk throwing it away, so I placed it on the desk in my office, but it disappeared within a day.

“Ah, Mr. This is why I have to clean it up on a regular basis.”

Bookshelves were packed to the brim, except where the door was, and papers and documents were scattered on the floor. And there were scraps of paper lying around that I had written down whenever magical inspiration came to me.

Shuuuk

I simply drew a magic circle and started organizing it.

Books piled up on the floor were returned to their original places, and papers and documents were neatly organized and placed on the desk.

Even the scraps of paper found their own place in the trash can.

“No, where is it? Really?”

Although it is said to be a remodel, it is not an ordinary product.

The magic formula processed in the mana assistant was twisted in reverse to lower the mana sensitivity to the lowest, and when the mana was raised, it caused an internal shock as a reaction.

In addition, it gave the mana a pushing property, causing an overload on the body.

However, the synergy was so unexpected that I actually suffered internal injuries while using it for training.

In the end, I took it out for disposal and did some other research, but it disappeared during that time.

“Well, it must be somewhere. I’ve never taken it outside.”

I knew it was such a dangerous item, so I didn’t do something stupid like take it outside. So it must be stuck somewhere, and it seems to have gone into a hard-to-find place, like under a bookshelf.

Knock knock knock

“Professor, are you inside?”

“Yes, come in.”

A female research assistant who helps with research enters the room and speaks as if she is surprised.

“Oh, what’s going on? You’re suddenly cleaning up your room? You said your natural state is good for research, but you didn’t.”

“Yes, I have something to look for. Have you seen a bracelet that looks like a mana brace?”

“Ah, if you mean the mana aid that was on the desk, I put it back in the practice toolbox.”

“… what?”

“I thought you would forget it while researching anyway, so I organized it since there was a practical class for freshmen today. Did you do well?”

“Hey, you crazy… wait a minute, today is a practical class?”

“Yes. I guess you are doing it now? Why are you doing that?”

Jump up!

I uncrossed my legs, stood up, pushed away the dazed assistant, and ran to the Mana Research Building.

“Professor, where are you going? You have to do your paperwork! Are you running away again?!”

“Oh, that foolish bastard.”

It’s not far from here to the Mana Research Building. It would be faster to run rather than prepare a teleportation magic circle.

The mana brace and the modified training mana brace look very similar on the outside.

Of course, if you look carefully, you will feel a little awkward and notice it, but not only will the professor or teaching assistant not look at the Mana Assistant closely, and the students will not be able to recognize it at all since it will be their first time seeing it.

If a student were to wear a modified mana brace… something terrible could happen.

Hospitalized due to mana circuit damage? I’m glad it ended that way.

There was a higher chance of becoming crippled or dying, unable to use mana for the rest of his life.

I can’t blame the teaching assistant for bringing an artifact to be used in research, but then forgetting and not returning it. This is because I have been disciplined for this several times.

In the end, my biggest fault was leaving dangerous items lying around.

‘Ugh… please don’t do anything.’

I entered the entrance of the Mana Research Building. Fortunately, the new students’ class location was on the first floor and was immediately visible.

Jump up!

I opened the door and entered.

As I burst open the front door of the classroom and entered, I should have been able to see the faces of the students in class, but they were all crowded together in the back of the classroom.

“What? What’s going on?”

“I heard that Lee Ho-yeon suddenly collapsed? Ah, there are so many people, I can’t see you.”

‘Lee Ho-yeon?’

This is the student I remembered and took notes on during my last magician special class.

‘It would have been better if I had no talent at all!’

Rather than being truly crippled while resisting the mana reflux with appropriate talent, it is better to fall without knowing anything.

So that there is at least a possibility of emergency treatment later.

“Wait a minute! I’ll pass!”

“Oh, what is it? Uh… Professor Lim Sol?”

As I went through the crowd of people, I saw a male student lying on the ground.

The first thing you notice is his appearance. I saw it in class last time, but it was new to me watching it again.

I’ve seen a lot of handsome people in my life so far, but at this level, all the men I’ve seen so far are squid.

And the next thing I saw was that his handsome face was changing all the time, frowning, and making moaning noises.

‘He still retains his sanity?’

On the outside, it looks like it is about to die as it vomits blood, but inside, a desperate struggle is taking place to catch the rampaging Mana.

Even the level was too high. Moreover, it was a mana management method I had never seen before.

‘Mana management… is somehow awkward.’

This is a mana management method that is completely different from the mana management methods known so far.

It’s as if mana is being handled actively and intuitively, rather than passively and according to a mold…

‘uh?’

Imsol immediately felt something tickling his chest. It is a state of extreme concentration just before enlightenment or reaching a state. It is a rare phenomenon that Im Sol has never felt except when awakening.

However, when he saw Professor Jaeyoung Han, a professor of Mana Studies, trying to grab Hoyeon Lee’s body, he had no choice but to postpone his moment of enlightenment.

“What are you doing now?”

“Professor Lim Sol? Why are you here? It just so happened that everything went well. We need to provide first aid to the patient. It’s urgent, so please help us, Professor.”

“No, don’t touch it.”

“What on earth are you talking about? This student’s internal mana circuit has been disrupted. We need to take action immediately.”

“If you don’t want to touch it, don’t touch it!”

Even if external magic were mixed now, it would only cause interference. This is why all the low-level professors need to be cut from Victoria, ugh.

After glaring at the professor who looked like a skeleton, I looked back at Hoyeon Lee.

But the itching feeling from earlier has already disappeared.

Opportunities like this don’t come easily, but I lost them because of that crazy professor. I felt helpless, but now was not the time to get angry.

‘If it goes on like that… I can’t be sure.’

It was clearly excellent mana management, but the opponent was too vicious. The modified mana assistant constantly caused mana to flow and shocked the body.

The more efficiently you raise your mana, the more severe the backlash becomes and the more fatigue your body accumulates.

How can I help you…

‘Wait a minute, it seems like it’s faster than the first time?’

Mana operation speed has clearly become faster. The level is clearly higher than when I first saw it.

“Unconsciously, it is developing…?”

“Yes? Professor Lim Sol, what are you talking about?”

Straighten the twisted mana circuit and forcibly open the blocked passage.

Mana circulates throughout the body at high speed and catches mana trying to escape.

“Is this kind of mana management possible?”

If magical power control without magic is at this level…

No, is a magic technique necessary? Could it be that I got the premise wrong from the beginning?

The student in front of me is breaking the main premise of magic.

I was about to enter a state of hyper-focus again and glimpse a new realm.

Hoyeon Lee opened her eyes.

“ah….”

A sigh of regret escaped me without my knowledge.

a little bit! If I had stayed a little longer, I would have seen new heights!

“Uh… how did you do it!”

“Ugh!”

*

The accident in which I almost died was treated as a simple accident in which Professor Lim Sol’s research supplies got mixed up among the student practice equipment.

From my perspective, it was a crisis that almost killed me, but it didn’t seem to be that bad to others.

It is said that there are many cases of vomiting blood due to simple magic mistakes.

Of course, this was done with my consent to handle it quietly for the sake of my relationship with Professor Lim Sol.

I received an apology from Professor Lim Sol, who came to his senses, and I decided to move on since there were no significant aftereffects.

There is no need to argue with the academy and professors.

After the incident fell apart, I was kidnapped by Professor Lim Sol.

“Make yourself at home.”

Gently.

What on earth is this situation?

The genius wizard of the century sat me down like I was looking at an ornamental doll and smiled.

“Oh, look at me and I’ll bring you some tea.”

Clap clap

As soon as the hands sticking out from between the blue robes clapped twice, a teacup and a tea set flew onto the table from far away.

Imsol personally took the teapot and poured it into my cup.

“Sleep, drink this and make yourself comfortable.”

“thank you.”

I picked up the teacup and tasted it.

Hello.

No, it’s mixed coffee.

When I glance ahead, I see Imsol as if he doesn’t care about such trivial things, and his eyes are fixed on my face like a sunflower looking at the sun.

“Hmm, Professor? So I’m curious as to why you called me.”

Imsol says ah. He made a sound and opened his eyes wide, and then he straightened his posture as if he came to his senses.

“First of all, let me apologize first. I’m really sorry for causing harm to you because of my mistake.”

Imsol bowed his head.

“Oh, no. It’s okay.”

“No, originally I should have made a formal apology, but the Academy wanted to bury the incident… so I will make sure to compensate for this personally.”

“It’s really okay, don’t worry.”

Normally, when people say things like this, they feel sorry and want to take care of them more.

If he were a really bad guy, he would just shut his mouth and be done with it, but Im Sol is not that kind of character.

“thank you.”

“Did you call me to apologize?”

It was a bit strange to call me because of an apology.

As soon as I received treatment, I received an apology, albeit a nominal one.

It seems a bit incongruous to call me to do it one more time.

“I wanted to apologize properly, and I also wanted to suggest something to you, so I called you.”

“A suggestion?”

I was embarrassed because something that didn’t happen in the original story suddenly happened, but I reacted as calmly as possible.

“It may seem sudden to you, but I want you to help me with my research.”

“Research? I’ll do anything I can to help, but… is that possible?”

“First of all, before we talk, can I point out one thing? The mana management method that I used to repair the twisted mana circuit earlier. Did you learn it from anyone?”

How to use mana? Why does that suddenly come out?

Let’s think again about the character Im Sol.

A wizard with world-renowned talent. He is simply a magician who has been recognized as S-class for handling the field of magic to the limit.

The fact that such a person is interested in my mana management method means that he saw something in my mana management method…

The only thing that comes to mind is [Mana Sensitivity]. I think he’s saying this after seeing the process of me breaking through the mana circuit with my own power.

“excuse me?”

Ah, I worried too much about the person in front of me.

“I’m sorry. I was thinking for a moment. I’ve never learned how to use mana.”

“So, it’s 100% your original?”

“Uh… yeah, right?”

I wonder if there are people in this world who have [Mana Sensitivity] as a privilege. I’m probably the only one.

“Can I trust that answer?”

“Yes, you can believe it.”

It seemed like he didn’t believe me, so I assured him.

“Ha… seup.”

Suddenly, Imsol started to fidget like a cat in heat. He took a deep breath and took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling, and he held my hand.

“You… Lee Ho-yeon. You are a genius. Compared to the wizards and S-class hunters I’ve seen so far, you’re just a starfish!”

“Starfish?”

“Yes! These starfish!”

“… No. That’s too much praise.”

Why are you suddenly chanting for starfish like that? Can I become an enemy with a starfish?

“This is not an exaggerated compliment. If you have this level of talent, you would have to find a competitor on a global level, let alone in Korea…”

“That’s how talented I am? I think it’s just okay.”

As for mana management, it’s just a matter of skill, isn’t it?

“Ha, if other starfish hear that, they might try to kill you. By the way, that bracelet you took off yourself, I have a hard time using mana while wearing that too.”

“Yes? Really?”

Of course, it was really dangerous, but if that bracelet was something that even an active S-class couldn’t use, it was worth reacting like that.

My talent, [Mana Sensitivity], was that bad?

“Yes! So, I would like you to help me with my research. It will definitely be a great contribution to developing the field of magic!”

“Uhm…”

I’m not interested in contributing to the development of magic… but it would be of great benefit to help.

Even though she is not a heroine, Professor Lim Sol’s abilities are outstanding. It will be of great help in school life in the future.

There is nothing to lose by becoming close to one professor.

But the problem is different.

Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to help with research.

My mana management method that Im Sol is obsessed with is just perks. I don’t have any knowledge or talent that can help me with my research.

The only difference from ordinary people is that their understanding of mana is different, but this is an area of intuition that cannot be explained in words.

After much thought, I decided to just be honest. I haven’t properly conquered the heroines yet, but I can’t waste time on things I’m not sure about, so this is probably right.

“Can I… help? Actually, mana management is greatly influenced by my skills, so I don’t have enough knowledge to help you with your research.

“I know that much. In fact, a person named Lee Ho-yeon is also the subject of my research.”

“yes??”

“Even though it looks like this, I have a lot of money saved up. I will give you whatever compensation you want.”

Well, honestly, it would be nice to have a lot of money, but…

As I see my interest dropping in real time, Professor Lim Sol waves his hands back and forth as if he is frustrated.

“No, this is truly a loss for all humanity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to contribute to the development of world magic!”

You can’t seem to calm down even after talking, ugh! While doing this, he messes up his hair with his hand. He really looks like a magic fanatic.

Because of the violent shaking of the hand, the hood was pushed back, and the cat dealer’s face was clearly visible.

In the game, this character clearly gave off the impression of a cold, mature adult woman, but how did someone like that turn into such a loser?

Does your personality change when you get involved with magic?

“Uh… just calm down and talk slowly.”

“Okay. Seup… Haa…”

Imsol was placing his hand on his chest and taking a deep breath, and the body visible through the robe was quite attractive.

Great, for no reason the saying “I’ll do anything” sticks in my head. Let’s calm down.

“…I guess you’re very interested in my breasts?”

“N… Yes?”

How did know? I took a peek every time my robe fluttered, but you caught me?

Imsol pursed his lips and stood up with a determined look in his eyes.

Slurp-

The robe falls along the body line and falls helplessly to the floor.

An unfamiliar combination of a pink box tee that looks like it’s worn over the chest rather than as a top, and black leggings that cover the thighs.

Although it was a combination purely for comfort, Imsol’s voluptuous body actually stood out.

Imsol moved to the seat next to me.

The unique sweet scent that only women have, which is different from the scent of fabric softener, was infuriating.

“As an apology… if this is what you want, I can accept it.”

Why are you doing this all of a sudden? professor. scary…

Imsol, who was sitting next to me, bent down and looked up from underneath me.

The feeling of looking down at a pretty woman felt awkward, but I also felt a little pleasure.

Thin fingers started to climb up my body starting from my waist.

Talk. Talk.

That slight touch felt rather sensitive and arousing.

While I was losing consciousness as Imsol’s face slowly approached my face and her fingers running up my body, Imsol spoke again.

“Hoyeon. Do you want to study together?”

“… Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the development of world magic.”

“Good choice. Hehe.”

I also think that people should live from a pan-human perspective.
