635 – Weight Magic

635 – Weight Magic

Splash, splash—

I watched the town being washed away by the rainwater.

Even though it had only poured for about an hour, it returned the village to its original state.

Thanks to the strong downpour.

“To think there’s magic that makes it rain, that’s amazing.”

“Hehe, actually, it was just lucky that the clouds were above.”

“Oh, I see.”

So it wasn’t created from scratch.

I looked up at the clear sky and asked Jeong Yuna,

“By the way, what’s this dungeon that burst in the neighboring country that even brought dust storms to our country?”

“It’s a desert dungeon; they say it’s about level eight. When the dungeon burst, it must have scattered a lot of sand from the desert.”

“Wow…”

Is that what happens when a level eight dungeon bursts?

The more I learned about dungeons, the more wondrous they seemed.

‘It’s amazing that the world hasn’t been destroyed.’

Considering how people here seem unfazed by this level of dust storm, I guess they are strong too?

After all, they endure storms filled with Mana.

As I nodded in understanding, I spotted Gaeul and Levinas running and laughing.

“Gaeul, there they are! Catch them!”

“Hek…!”

What are they chasing?

Curious, I ran after the children.

They were running towards somewhere with bright smiles on their faces.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“We’re going to catch a rainbow!”

“A rainbow?”

“Yeah! A beautiful rainbow has appeared over there!”

The rainbow was visible where Levinas pointed, behind the Dawn Guild building.

The rainbow in the sky was so vivid that I could distinguish all seven colors.

“Wow.”

I’ve never seen such a big and beautiful rainbow before.

I couldn’t help but wag my tail in excitement.

“Catch it!”

“Uwaak!”

Levinas and Gaeul ran towards the rainbow, and I followed them without hesitation.

When we arrived behind the guild building, the children were bewildered.

The rainbow they thought would be right behind the guild building was actually quite far away.

“What?!”

“We can’t get closer!”

It seemed Levinas and Gaeul didn’t realize they couldn’t get close to the rainbow.

Their innocent expressions were delightful, but I decided to tell them the truth.

“Kids, unfortunately, you can’t catch a rainbow.”

“Huh?! Why not?!”

“A rainbow is… um, something we can’t touch.”

I knew that a rainbow was formed by the refraction and reflection of light, but honestly, I didn’t know the exact details either.

So I explained it simply enough for the kids to understand.

“We can’t touch it…?! Is the rainbow a ghost?!”

“Huh?!”

Gaeul was startled by Levinas’s words and raised the Wooden Caliber high.

The Wooden Caliber was incredibly effective against ghosts.

“Uh… it’s not a ghost; a rainbow is actually light. We can’t touch light.”

“That’s not true! Levinas can touch light?!”

“Huh? Really?”

To think Levinas could touch light.

Maybe it was thanks to Levinas’s unique magic?

But this was the first time I had seen Levinas speak like this.

It was a moment of confusion.

Suddenly, Levinas started giggling.

“Wang shines brightly all the time, and he can touch it!”

“……!”

Levinas hugged me tightly.

Seeing us hug, Gaeul joined in and giggled.

Thanks to that, I felt happy and smiled widely.

“Then maybe one day, we really can catch a rainbow.”

“Yeah! Levinas will give it to you as a gift later, so look forward to it!”

“Okay.”

**

When we returned home, we dried off and changed our clothes.

As we returned to the living room, I spotted Bomi wearing a black cloak.

“Bomi, what’s with the cloak?”

“This is a magician’s cloak; I wore it to show you magic.”

“Magic?”

Bomi’s magic was Transformation Magic.

If she was showing us something new, it must be a special kind of magic different from usual?

Just as I was puzzled, Bomi brought out a small box that could open and close.

“Look.”

Bomi covered the box with a black cloth.

Then she placed a piece of iron, thicker than a finger, on top of it.

“This is ordinary iron, but I made it super heavy with magic. It probably weighs over a million kilograms!”

“Huh…?”

That little piece of iron weighs a million?

The kids seemed to find it hard to believe and looked puzzled.

“It’s true; I’ll give a delicious snack to whoever can lift this.”

“…Gaeul!”

At the mention of snacks, Gaeul raised her hand excitedly.

Without hesitation, she reached for the iron piece.

“Ugh…!”

Gaeul strained as she grabbed the iron on the box.

Even though her arms trembled as she pulled, the iron didn’t budge.

“Gaeul, is it really heavy?”

“Hek…!”

“Ugh…”

Levinas also reached for the iron, but it didn’t move at all.

If they couldn’t lift that small piece of iron, it must be really heavy.

It might not weigh a million, but still…

‘Hmm…’

As I pondered while looking at the small but heavy iron, Saebyeok sneaked under the box.

At the same time, Bomi clapped her hands, drawing the children’s attention.

“Look, I’ll move this heavy iron without even touching it.”

“What?! Is that possible?!”

“Yep… Hyah!”

As Bomi clapped her hands, the iron piece began to move on its own.

The kids, who had just confirmed the weight by touching the iron, couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Uwaak!”

“It weighs a million and moves without being touched…!”

I realized as I watched the surprised kids.

That the iron piece was actually a very powerful magnet.

Saebyeok must be moving the upper magnet with the strong magnet under the desk.

It would be hard for the kids to move such a super strong magnet, but with Saebyeok’s strength, it would be possible.

Bomi must have been clapping to intentionally draw attention to hide Saebyeok under the desk.

I wondered what kind of prank Bomi was planning this time, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a pretty cool and well-prepared magic show.

“Wow.”

How did she come up with such an idea?

I clapped in pure admiration.

“Is kind Bomi actually the strongest magician?!”

“Yep. Actually, I’ve been hiding my power.”

“……!”

Levinas’s eyes sparkled.

Meanwhile, Gaeul seemed eager to get a snack, struggling to lift the magnet.

But no matter what, she couldn’t lift it.

Gaeul looked quite disheartened and lay flat on the ground.

She had a rather disappointed expression, but Bomi poked her side playfully.

“Gaeul, Gaeul.”

“…Hek?”

“I’ll make it light with magic, so do you want to try lifting it again? You’ll get a snack if you do.”

“……!”

Gaeul sprang up and cautiously reached for the magnet.

Swallowing hard, she lifted the magnet, and this time it came up easily.

“Wooaah!”

“Uwaak?!”

The magnet that had been impossible to lift was now easily lifted.

It was truly incredible magic.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

Bomi, who had succeeded in her magic show, puffed out her chest.

Saebyeok, who had crawled out from under the desk unnoticed, also struck a proud pose.

Those who succeeded in the magic show were happy, Gaeul was happy to get a snack, and Levinas was delighted to see the wonderful magic show.

‘Haneul…’

Haneul seemed to know the truth about the magnet and was just giggling.

It was admirable that she didn’t reveal the truth for the sake of a great show.

Everyone was so happy.

Bomi’s magic show was a great success.

**

After Bomi’s show ended, I went down to the training ground for a quick workout.

But for some reason, Gaeul followed me, holding Bomi’s hand.

“Gaeul, are you going to work out too?”

“Yeah!”

She seemed quite confident.

It’s nice to work out together, but why is Bomi still holding her hand?

Bomi also seemed puzzled and could only wonder.

“Ju-in, training ground.”

“Strength training area?”

A strength training area with treadmills and dumbbells.

Gaeul led us there.

Did Gaeul want to do strength training with us?

Just as I was pondering that, Gaeul approached the bench press machine.

“Ugh…!”

Gaeul lifted a ten-kilogram weight.

Straining, she placed the weight onto the barbell’s hole.

Then she added another ten-kilogram weight on the other side.

‘No way…?’

Is Gaeul trying to lift a twenty-kilogram barbell?

With the weight of the bar, it would be nearly forty kilograms!

I watched Gaeul in shock, but she didn’t stop there.

“Ugh…!”

Gaeul added more weights to the barbell.

After adding weights to the other side, a total of sixty-kilogram barbell was completed.

Oh my.

This is impossible to lift!

Ignoring my worries, Gaeul lay down on the bench press machine.

“Gaeul, can you lift this?”

“Nope?”

Gaeul shook her head firmly.

While doing so, she stared intently at Bomi.

“Make it light.”

“Uh, okay?”

It was a deadlock.

Bomi was flustered, and I was flustered too.

Only Gaeul, who knew nothing, was giggling.
