『Quest completed!』

As a quest reward, the magic power level increased by 1.

I gained ability points, and meeting Moon Su-rin was a very big gain.

Of course, it’s not a game and you won’t fall in love right away after seeing your face, but it will help you later.

After that, I walked around to familiarize myself with the surrounding geography.

In particular, I wandered around back alleys that seemed to be rarely inhabited. Since I had to walk 6 feet, I might have to run away at any time.

Because there were many large buildings, there was quite a bit of space for people to pass between them.

It’s not scary during the day, but it would be quite spooky if you walk around at night.

Having roughly memorized the geography of the alleys, I returned to the dormitory.

I sat down at my desk and took out a notebook and pen from my bag.

“I think I need to find out what specials are first.”

Perks are the only key to solving the situation.

In fact, I still don’t know why I received this special privilege. I don’t even know exactly if it’s the God of Betting or what it is.

Well, it doesn’t make sense to be possessed by a gay game, so what’s weird about receiving some special benefits?

Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d like to clearly summarize the perks.

First, [Mana Sensitivity].

——–「Mana Sensitivity」——-

▶Special benefits

▶Ability to feel and understand mana

—————————

When I thought of mana response as if I was opening a status window, a skill window appeared in front of me like a game.

In this worldview, talented people can view their talents and skills objectively. To put it simply, there is a status window, and there is no need to bring it up in words.

If you just think of the part you need, it will appear before your eyes.

Anyway, [Mana Sensitivity]. If I had to explain it, it’s the ability to feel mana, but I’m not sure about it yet.

The ability to feel and understand mana?

What is this? Please write in more detail.

Should I at least read the textbook? Basically, studying should focus on textbooks.

[Introduction to Mana Studies]

I took out the textbook Introduction to Mana Studies, which was reputed to be difficult.

—————————

1-All about mana.

Mana is an intangible ‘energy’. It is something that all living creatures have, and is an important element that makes up the world.

… … …

The method of awakening mana is different for each person, and the properties and characteristics of the mana they have are also different.

… … …

Currently, the most popular method of mana management is to control mana through the sense of moving blood in the body.

… … …

————————–

Is this the end?

After that, I wrote something like a strange paper, but I don’t think it was helpful.

‘It feels like it’s moving the blood?’

I imagined the blood moving from my heart to the tips of my arms.

But nothing happened!

“Yeah, it’s strange to suddenly feel something… huh?”

Something existed. Inside my body, and in this room, and in this world.

It has been real all along. I am only now aware of its existence.

As soon as I realized that mana existed with just one line of sentence, my awakening began.

Senses I had never felt before.

The feeling of having the whole world. Joy, pleasure, joy, wealth, and ecstasy.

Countless feelings of joy rushed in like a tidal wave. But something in my center was holding me firm. Thanks to that, I was able to maintain my sanity.

The act of awakening mana. I, who was intoxicated with that ecstasy, savored that moment and soon came to my senses.

“ha…”

In terms of time, maybe a minute had passed? But I felt like I had become a completely different person than before.

I picked up a book called [Basic Practical Magic] from the bookshelf where I had taken out the textbook earlier, and opened it to the very first page.

Even though it was the most basic magic, six lines overlapped here and there to form a quite complex magic statement.

Grumble-!

A flame burned on my hand.

“Wow, you’re really crazy.”

Magic is originally the realm of pure talent.

The textbook [Basic Existential Magic] introduces basic magic circles, but in order to function properly as an active person, you must come up with your own magic system.

This is because the form and properties of effective magic are different for each person.

Otherwise, you need to learn the systemized common magic circle.

Most people learn this process at academies.

But I have surpassed these steps.

When I put my hands together and thought of the concept of flame, a sphere of flame burned on my hands once again.

Grumble-!

Even though this strange phenomenon occurred, I was not surprised at all.

I didn’t feel any gap or disharmony with reality.

For Imina, mana has become a natural phenomenon.

Rather, I wondered why I couldn’t do it until now.

“This is Mana Sensitivity…”

Doing something that could never be done easily. It was literally a privilege.

Next is [clear mental power]. I’m really not sure about this.

― ――― ― 「Clear mental power」― ―― ――

▶Special benefits

▶No matter what the situation, keep your mind firmly centered.

― ――― ――― ――― ――― ――― ―――

It’s strange to think about it now that I didn’t panic even though I was suddenly possessed by the game.

I think it’s because of my clear mental power that I’m able to understand the situation and do anything… or maybe it’s a special privilege that I felt when I awakened myself earlier.

But, maybe I’m just so damn good, but I can’t be sure.

However, since it is listed as a perk like [Mana Sensitivity], it will be helpful someday.

Lastly, [memory supplementation ability].

― ――― ――― 「Memory supplementation ability」 ― ――― ――

▶Special benefits

▶Supplements the user’s memory.

― ――― ――― ――― ―――― ――― ――― ―― _

First of all, the thing that pisses me off the most is that the notification that came out when I received this was ‘80% compulsory’.

I looked back on my memory and wondered why it was 80% and not 100% mandatory.

On KakaoTalk, when the goddamn god asked, ‘So, let’s make a bet?’, he replied, ‘You can do whatever you want with the bet.’

Fuck…it’s a world full of absurdity.

But the special bonus itself is good.

My memory does not improve, but becomes almost perfect.

I remember every single word, facial expression, and even her magic wave during the conversation I had with Moon Su-rin.

If I put my mind to it, I think I could draw not only the structure of the cafe where we talked, but even the floor tiles.

This is an ability that seems to be very helpful.

I was worried about how to keep up with the academy classes, but I have no worries because I have this.

Even the specials have been sorted out.

I have to go to the academy right away starting tomorrow, but honestly, I’m really worried.

Victoria Academy is a place that trains talented people.

It is an academy recognized as not only the best in Korea but also among the top three in the world.

I have to go to that place starting tomorrow, but the question is whether I can adapt to the academy as I have never hit anyone, let alone any combat experience.

“Should I go to the training camp?”

The time is 10 p.m. It’s time to get ready for bed in order to start the first class tomorrow in good condition, but the thought of going to the training center at least once is growing stronger.

“I have to go, it’s right to go.”

My life was so crammed that I stayed up all night even the day before I took the CSAT.

I headed to the training center filled with the latest training equipment. Victoria Academy has made the training center unnecessarily extravagant.

A training center is a facility that allows various types of training, including a physical training room and mana training room, to be conducted all in one building.

Hold your smart watch at the center’s entrance.

[1st grader Lee Ho-yeon. Admission has been confirmed.]

I passed through the first floor lobby and headed to the elevator inside.

There were very few people in the Mana training room on the 3rd floor after taking the elevator. In fact, there would be very few people coming to train at 10pm on the night after the entrance ceremony.

Shouldn’t we be surprised that there is even a little bit of it?

I went into a private room where I could do personal training.

There was nothing special inside the private room. It was an empty space surrounded by walls made of special materials. The space magic was applied so the space could be used efficiently.

When I pressed the button next to the entrance, a mechanical sound was heard along with a hologram.

[Mana training system activated. Please tell us your desired settings]

“Training scarecrow. Maximum strength. Distance 10M”

When the voice was recognized, the hologram disappeared and a scarecrow appeared 10 meters ahead.

“hmm.”

Shhh-

As mana gathers in the hand, it creates an image of fire. In fact, I have no deep insight into the concept of mana. All I’ve done is look at the monitor, press the keyboard, and use magic.

But I was still able to use magic. I guess it was thanks to the special [Mana Sensitivity].

A talent that allows you to move mana and use magic even without any knowledge of magic. That was [Mana Sensitivity], and I could see how great it was.

In addition, calculations and terms before using magic are a chronic problem with magicians. But I didn’t have to worry about it.

Shhh!

All I have to do is think about it. Then, the magic responds to my will, takes shape, and appears in reality.

Of course, the magic I can use is very limited due to the limitations of my magical power, but I realize how ridiculous a talent this is.

“Tsk.”

After focusing my mana on the fireball above my hand for about a minute, I had the intuition that this was my limit.

I raised the hand that was collecting mana, aimed the magic at the training scarecrow, and shot out a fireball.

Quagwagwang!

“Whoops…huh…”

Even from the outside, it doesn’t look like a scarecrow. It’s scorched, burned, and both arms are gone.

[Damage: 22%]

The damage is 22%? Originally, the main character had to roll for about a year to destroy the training scarecrow with one blow.

“Shall we try one more time?”

The feeling of squeezing all the mana in my body was surprisingly not bad.

Using magic sounded fun, and any sport can be fun if you’re good at it.

I gathered the mana in my hand again. This time, I imagined the shape of a spear.

If you are chanting, it is a magic that you can do by shouting ‘Fire Spear!’

The Spear of Fire is gradually taking its proper form.

“Okay, like this…”

Stumbling.

My legs suddenly lost strength and I fell down.

“Uh, why not…”

Even though I tried to stand up, my body had no strength.

My vision became increasingly blurry and I had a severe headache.

dump.

And my memory ended there.
