My mentality is shattered.

Honestly, I thought we would win.

But the result before my eyes was that I was being ruthlessly toyed with by two bastards.

It was shit.

Fortunately, this is an academy.

It’s not like I’m some crazy kid who says, ‘If you don’t know, you deserve to be hit more.’

“So…Shinwoo, what do you want to ask of me?”

“Can you please tell me how to catch those bastards?”

The professor I’m talking to now is a female professor named Marina.

Short blond hair that reaches her shoulders. Exotic appearance. Casual office attire. Black whip at her waist.

Up to this point, it seems pretty good, but one expression of languidness and annoyance at everything makes all those elements lose their luster.

“그건 정식 명칭으로 워울프예요. 개새끼가 아니라.”

“As long as we get the point across, that’s fine. Why are you being so picky?”

“……Anyway, what kind of problem do you think Shinwoo has?”

“Why do I get questions when I ask them?”

“Ha……”

Professor Marina sighs as if the ground is collapsing.

As he spoke Korean fluently, the sighs he let out were also at a Korean level.

“To be honest, I didn’t know that he wouldn’t be able to defeat a mob like that. And that was Shinwoo.”

“Where do you see that? It’s a trash mob. It’s a boss mob.”

[You can’t catch it because you can’t do it.]

‘Don’t give me medicine because I’m so pissed. Those little shits are enough to piss me off.’

Professor Marina, who had been holding her head for a while, turns her gaze back to me and opens her mouth.

“If you are a student of Shinwoo, you will be able to handle it with just a little bit of physical strengthening.”

“How do you do that?”

“…..How on earth did you get in?”

Professor Marina’s face began to distort.

In a state of mixed doubt as to whether the person in front of me was a real student and sighs at having been caught by the wrong person.

“This is something that any student who has awakened their abilities would know. It’s basic education.”

“First of all, I am an incompetent reader.”

“No, how did an incompetent person get here?”

“That’s discriminatory. Should I report it?”

“Fuck……I get it. Focus.”

Professor Marina started staring at me.

Although her eyes were languid, their focus remained fixed on me without wavering.

Since it had come to this, it seemed like he wanted to explain it properly.

“Do you know that when someone awakens their ability, something called magic power is created in their body?”

“Yes, I came here and learned it.”

“…Anyway, I’ll assume that Shinwoo is a capable student.”

Professor Marina muttered, ‘It’s not even surprising anymore, damn it.’

It was really nice to see you already adapted.

“Generally, the magical power within the body can be recognized from the moment the ability is awakened.”

“Everyone?”

“Of course not everyone. But there are times when you can recognize it.”

The professor suddenly lifts a whip in his right hand and swings it toward the ground.

On the ground was a crudely drawn image of someone’s angry face.

“Usually, when you are overcome by strong emotions such as anger, you can perceive the magical power within your body.”

“It seems like it would be difficult if I go into it further, so please give me a 5-minute lecture.”

“If you recognize the magic, everyone will feel the same. A foreign substance in the heart.”

Professor Marina put her hand on her forehead.

And he continued his explanation while moving his hand towards his leg or arm.

“Determining the direction in which foreign substances flow and circulating them is the basis of strengthening the body.”

“Please explain in simple terms.”

“How can I say it more easily here! If you want to strengthen your arms, do it with your arms! If you want to strengthen your legs, do it with your legs! Do it with your whole body!”

Professor Marina finally reached the limit of her patience and started speaking informally to her.

Mentally, he still seemed to be lacking.

[You really don’t know that? You’re not a smart character.]

‘I don’t even have the brains to write, so don’t expect anything from me.’

“It’s simple. I’m not sure if it’s too upwardly standardized.”

“If it were as easy as it sounds, everyone would just be strengthening their bodies.”

Professor Marina’s subsequent explanation was that strengthening the body was not as easy as it seemed.

If you can’t properly control the amount of magic power, it’s worse than not fighting at all in a duel.

“First of all, isn’t it better to just strengthen? +1 strengthening is better than no strengthening.”

“Do you remember how many students got beaten up by Shinwoo?”

“I don’t even know how many pieces of bread I’ve eaten so far, so how can I count them all?”

“You shouldn’t do that to people! Please think about it, fucking !!!”

Certainly, I vaguely remembered it when Professor Marina said it.

Or, if you rush into strengthening your body without being able to do it, you won’t be able to keep your center of gravity.

Students who were helpless when they were able to counterattack while deflecting attacks.

It is also clear that proper physical strengthening has not been done.

“So if you don’t have confidence in strengthening your body, it’s better to focus on your own unique abilities. You should use the better ones.”

“I don’t have any ability, so there’s no other answer than strengthening my body?”

“I didn’t know he had no abilities at all, but since Shinwoo’s interpersonal skills are outstanding, he’ll benefit a lot from the physical enhancement.”

“You just said that mediocre physical strengthening is poison. Why is it so contradictory?”

“That’s limited to single-player battles. It’s a different story even in monster battles.”

I didn’t quite understand it.

Professor Marina went on to explain further, perhaps concerned about my cognitive state.

“How did you feel when Shinwoo fought the monster earlier?”

“Hmm. The sword didn’t seem to be inserted properly. It seems like the attack wasn’t working properly.”

“Shinwoo’s student style is a thorough PvP style. It’s good for surprising enemies, but without the right weapon, it’s not very effective against monsters.”

“Damn, that wasn’t enough damage.”

Anyway, I got the gist of it.

The fact that my attack method is not very effective against monsters with slightly sturdy exteriors.

Ultimately, it comes down to the need for a means to reinforce that power.

Finally, Professor Marina is here, so we can find a solution.

“First, let’s assume that Shinwoo is a student with abilities and start from the stage of recognizing magical powers.”

“You said you had to feel passionate emotions?”

“Yes, would you like to give it a try?”

“How can I do this even if you tell me to do it right away?”

“Um…then let me help you.”

Professor Marina began to clear her throat for a moment.

The old voice leaked out from Professor Marina’s mouth right after.

“You fucking retard! Is your head just for decoration?”

“It suddenly hit me, but since I hear it every day, it doesn’t really hit me.”

“…..I’ll change direction.”

It was Professor Marina who began to worry considerably.

At that moment, a voice came through.

[I’ll help you with this body too. Is this your first relationship? I don’t like inexperienced people.]

‘Hey, wait a minute…’

And very deeply too.

[Why are you playing childishly like a child? Get some proper hobbies.]

[I’m going to hang out with my friends at Christmas. Don’t keep contacting me.]

[You met me because I am you. Thank you.]

[Should we stop? Is this a situation where we can stop?]

[Don’t say anything about me drinking coffee with another guy, it’s gross.]

[Why are you saying that? Who is faster?]

[Oh, I went to a night club once. Why? What?]

It was quite heartbreaking.

It really hurt.

Then, as if unable to give up, Professor Marina flies another sharp knife.

“Today is Friday, so please do it by Monday morning.”

“This is due today. It’s urgent.”

“You can do it, but why are you joking? Seriously. Do this a long time ago.”

“Is that so hard to do? What if a guy can’t do that?”

“What’s so hard about it? 5 minutes is enough, right? Stop whining unnecessarily.”

“I gave you the direction for this, so I think I’ve done everything. I’ll upload the report under my name.”

“I’ll be leaving first, so finish it all before I leave work and put it on my desk. I’ll check it tomorrow morning.”

It was dangerous.

My heart was already beginning to waver.

“No, wait a minute! This area attack is too much!”

But my words were not even heard by the voice of Professor Marina.

It started to torment my mind again.

[Why do you only drive compact cars? These cars really don’t run well. I’d rather buy something else with that kind of money.]

“Are you just asking because you don’t know? Think about looking it up, please!”

“Shut up for a second. I’m too immersed.”

He speaks to both the voice and Professor Marina at the same time.

of course.

[Is this my fault? Okay. I guess I’ll go.]

“Don’t just do it blindly. If you don’t know, think about asking!”

“Shut up, please.”

It doesn’t even taste like cereal.

Rather, the blade of language cuts even faster.

[If I buy a house, it’s in my name?]

“I’ll pay you later, so pay for what’s mine. No, I said I’ll pay you later.”

“Shut up!”

My heart is greatly agitated.

It felt like something was about to shake.

With one last step left.

For that last step, the voice and Professor Marina shoot out sharply once more.

[What did I add to this? What’s the problem that makes you say something like that?]

“Why are real men so petty? That’s why they’re not popular with women.”

“I told you to shut the fuck up!!!!!!!”

At that moment, something began to feel like it was clumping together in my heart.

A strange feeling that feels familiar yet not at all familiar and slightly uncomfortable.

It seemed to have a slightly sticky, viscous texture.

Maybe this was magic.

Blood, sweat, and tears, I thought, but I tried hard to deny it.

If it wasn’t real magic, I would have had to go through even more pain than before.

[Congratulations, my dear. Your efforts paid off.]

‘Damn, that was so spicy.’

At that moment, Professor Marina spoke carefully while looking at my face.

“Student Shinwoo, do you feel something?”

“Yeah……Fuck. It feels so good.”

Professor Marina applauds in congratulations as if she is glad.

Somehow, his expression seemed relieved, which made me think that his earlier remarks were a bit selfish.

“Student Shinwoo, shall we try strengthening our body now?”

“But how do I move this?”

“Think of slowly pushing a viscous substance from the heart to the extremities you want to strengthen.”

I tried to push out the foreign body I felt in my heart.

however.

“This doesn’t move? Is this also affected by emotions?”

It didn’t move at all.

It seemed like a strong viscous object, but when I tried to move it, it felt like a stone that didn’t budge at all.

It was harder to handle than I thought.

“Yes. At this time, you should feel a little calmer than passionate.”

“….You’re saying such cruel things to someone whose heart was just torn apart.”

“I can’t help it. Isn’t it too much suffering to just quit?”

“Fuck.”

Anyway, it calmed down the numerous emotions swirling in my heart.

The silence that followed soon followed.

Among them, focus on the foreign substance in the chest.

The direction to move is the left arm.

Then, as if by magic, I began to feel a huge, viscous object moving slowly.

“Oh! This is moving.”

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

however.

[You? Wait a minute! I have to stop!]

“Student Shinwoo? You haven’t turned on the training system yet, but if you move too much magic at once-!!”

The voice in my head and Professor Marina look different.

It seemed quite urgent, so I thought there might be a slight problem.

At that moment, I felt a stuffy feeling in my left shoulder.

The feeling of forcing something into a small hole.

It seemed as if the lumps that could not pass through the small hole were continuously being compressed.

But that frustration turned into a sense of liberation after a brief reprieve.

– Boom!!!!!!!

“……What?”

The feeling of liberation that came from my shoulders exploding.

The left arm, which has lost its place, flies freely in the air, like a bird flying in the sky.

Of course, due to the influence of gravity.

– Bam.

Eventually, it falls to the ground.

At that sight, there was only silence between me and Professor Marina.

“…”

“…”

My mouth opened again to grasp the current situation.

“What is this?”

“Moving too much at once can cause explosions in the joints.”

“……Please tell me the safety rules a little faster.”

“I didn’t know you would suddenly act so rudely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, blood gushed out from his shoulder a beat later.

If there’s one thing I’m lucky about, it’s that I don’t feel any pain.

It seemed that because the current situation was so unbelievable, even the pain had become dull.

At that moment, I saw Hyeji running towards me, and Jeong Ayeon running after her.

“Shinwoo, what’s going on!!”

“Student Hyeji, by the way, this is not my fault.”

Professor Marina quickly admits that it wasn’t her fault.

As expected, he was the professor’s son.

Hyeji gave me a worried look, but I saw it clearly.

The expression Hyeji had on her face when she ran towards me.

“When you came here, your expression was like, ‘What kind of envious kid is going to blow up a bomb!’?”

“……Anyway, so why did Kim Shin-woo become Kim Shin/woo!!”

Hyeji couldn’t bring herself to deny what I said.

He looked a little hurt, but I explained the situation briefly because I thought he might be worried.

“I failed to strengthen my body and became Shanks, damn it.”

Looking at my left shoulder, which was gone again, I noticed that the amount of bleeding had decreased significantly.

When I looked down, I saw a puddle of blood so large that I suspected it might be a lethal dose.

At that moment, words came to my mind.

[Are you planning to go on a great journey?]

“No, aren’t you an old person? How do you know about One Piece?”

[It must be so famous. Now that I think about it, the ending part comes to mind.]

‘I got off at Odeng Omuktang, but if you spoil it after that, I’ll really get behind.’

Spoilers are not to be forgiven.

Thinking about it, I regret not being able to catch the kid who spoiled the endgame with his LoL ID.

This time, Jeong A-yeon shouted in a new voice.

“Confucius!! Where the hell did your left arm go!!”

The moment I heard those words, my lips suddenly started trembling and my head started to feel dizzy.

My vision is blurry and my legs feel weak.

Perhaps it was the backlash from shedding so much blood.

He muttered softly as he collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.

“…..Bringing you a new era.”

– Crunch.

My body collapses into a pool of blood.

As I smelled the pungent scent of blood, I began to lose consciousness.
