collaboration.

By combining our will and strength, we pursue a common goal.

I know what it means in the dictionary, but neither Vivian nor Helena have ever been together with anyone.

Vivian lived at parties, but at the time, she was a wizard who couldn’t even use magic properly.

Helena’s cooperative training was only a superficial collaboration where only the same priests teamed up.

So, those two were pretty rattled.

“Oh, sorry! I missed it… .”

“It’s okay… !”

Helena, standing in front, protects, and Vivian, standing behind, focuses her firepower.

Since Vivian cannot use coordinate-specific magic yet, she had to aim for the exact moment when Helena turned off her protection.

That wasn’t easy.

The two moved around in their seats and even stepped back for a moment, trying to come together somehow.

“Now!”

“Ah, yes!”

The moment when Helena gives the signal and Vivian is about to cast the spell.

Another large wooden golem next to me rushed forward.

Helena had to urgently turn on the protection.

-thud!

“Hiik!”

Vivian urgently launched the fireball into the air.

“Sin, sorry… !”

Although talented, it was an unavoidable mistake for those who lacked much experience.

But because he is so talented, even one mistake can be fatal.

If Vivian’s fireball had hit Helena’s barrier from behind, a catastrophe would have occurred.

“No… !”

If things continue like this, there is no end.

Vivian fell into a familiar sense of anxiety.

‘Because of me… . It shouldn’t be like this… .’

To the extent that the comparison between herself and Helena was meaningless, Vivian was now holding her back.

‘If only I had used magic properly… .’

Again, it looks like this again.

Even after receiving so much help from Ian.

The wizard is stuck because he cannot use a single spell properly.

‘It shouldn’t be like this…’ . Ian must be expecting something from me… . I, I… .’

In order to become Ian’s Vivian, it can’t be like this.

But how?

“I made a mistake! Vivian, you will do well!”

“… … .”

I understand from those words.

You can do well.

You have to have that mindset.

Vivian came here with somewhat vague thoughts.

Because I did well last time.

Because Ian said it would happen.

If Ian believed, it would happen, so I knew it would happen.

You realize how foolish and optimistic you have been.

If you think it will work out, it will never work out.

I am confident that I will do well, and I must try harder.

Whether it was lack of time or talent, the process and reason are not important.

In reality, only the result of doing well is always important.

‘Is this how Helena felt…? .’

Organize your thoughts, gather your emotions, and leave only what you need.

Advice from Ian when he was starting out.

‘Do you remember how I almost got beat up by Felix? At that time, Vivian used a very special magic.’

The ice spear that was thrown to protect Ian.

It was used to trap Felix, and in the end, to scare him by lowering the density infinitely.

That wasn’t fired near Vivian’s body.

It fell vertically from above Felix’s head.

Projection-type magic, including Ice Spear, is basically created only around the caster’s body.

As long as the creation point can be changed to around the target, it is no different from coordinate-specific magic.

A technology of compositional transformation, not magical fusion.

This is something I recently read in a book about magical traits and composition.

‘Ian… . When Ian was threatened.’

Now that I know that Ian is a great superhuman, I can’t be as angry as I was then.

However, if you recall the last time Ian was insulted… .

Vivian saw four people watching with blank faces in the distance.

‘Those… It was like that. And that gaze. Yeah, I’m not who I used to be anymore.’

There is no need to despair just because you make a mistake or fail.

Just do well again.

“Helena.”

“Yes!”

“Protection, I don’t think you need to turn it off.”

“… yes? Oh, I understand!”

Sylvia became a superhuman at a young age, used magic to survive, and even stole other people’s magic books and learned them to live better.

Vivian, on the other hand, became a superhuman at a fairly late age, was born unable to use magic properly, and suffered abuse that even damaged her body.

It’s not just a question of talent.

There is a wall of effort and time built up.

It is a difficult wall for the current Vivian to overcome.

Vivian tried another method.

If you can’t get over it, just destroy it.

Breaking down the walls of time and time with overwhelming talent.

‘Fireball falling on the target’s head… .’

Load the image that comes into your head into mana.

The mana that quickly circulates throughout the body is precisely extracted to the outside.

“Helena, I’ll catch you. Hold on because an explosion may occur.”

Vivian grabbed Helena’s shoulder and cast a spell.

“Please leave it to me!”

Even the theory books said it was not an easy task.

Still, I believe I can do it.

Change the magic formula to a certain value.

Character and composition, the latter of which is changed.

Configuration variation.

‘Coordinate point fireball.’

Immediately after, a huge ‘fireball’ crashed down on the five wooden golems.

*

Brian and his group looked up at the common scenery blankly.

In Seonghwagyo, it is said that it is extremely cold in hell.

If this were to be called hell now, wouldn’t it be hell?

Fireballs large enough to easily engulf the giant wooden golem fell on each golem’s head at the same time, one by one.

Although it is a simple fireball.

Its size, density, and speed were by no means simple or ordinary.

A huge flame engulfs the golem, and an explosion that shakes the ground spreads out.

Red flames line Aileen’s eyes as she opens her mouth.

‘This is Vivian… ?’

Eileen has also seen Vivian’s magic.

Although the density was a bit low, it was a large magic that did not match his timid personality or innocent face.

But it had no meaning.

Magic that couldn’t be hit or cast immediately when needed was nothing short of a nuisance.

Therefore, Vivian was a great source of self-esteem for Eileen.

Looking at Vivian, who was much more pathetic than him, made him feel satisfied with his situation.

It was definitely like that.

Vivian over there, wearing a white robe and calmly observing the situation, does not overlap at all with her from the past.

How can the magician who recreated the legendary magic that only appears in old books, the ‘meteor shower’, be Vivian, even if only with a fireball?

The exploding and flowing flames scattered without even making a scratch on Helena’s protection.

The skin of Brian and his group far away was sore and their bodies were shaking, but Helena was fine.

‘I did it…’ .’

Iris tilted her head repeatedly when she saw what had just happened.

Then I asked Ian.

“There is a person named Vivian… Did you do it?”

“I think so.”

“… how? Didn’t you say that it hasn’t been long since you became a temporary hero? Due to the change in composition, that size and density… .”

According to Iris’s theory, this was an impossible phenomenon.

I understand that this is Vivian’s second dungeon.

I heard that it hasn’t been long since you became a warrior… .

Ian just shrugged.

“You must be a genius.”

“Genius… .”

A being that is not bound by theory and common sense.

A person born with a selfish nature who deviates from universal and general rules.

That’s genius.

Iris looked back at the cavity engulfed in flames, mesmerized.

And then, I swallowed my saliva.

‘How far can we grow?’ .’

How far will Vivian, who has just begun to grow, rise?

‘I want to help… !’

A passion for learning and curiosity fueled that desire.

*

The firepower unleashed in an instant without casting swept away the golems.

It was Helena’s job to finish off the burned wooden golem.

It wasn’t difficult because he was already incapable of combat.

“As expected, Vivian! You are amazing! I believed it!”

“Hehe… . thank you. It’s all thanks to Helena.”

“Yes? I didn’t do anything!”

“Not doing it. How trustworthy he was.”

While the two were praising each other, the podium in the center rose up.

Helena was surprised to see that.

“This is what I only heard about! Is that a magic stone up there?”

“That’s right.”

Vivian offered her hand.

“Shall we go up together?”

“Yes! Yes!”

Helena grabbed his hand.

Climbing the stairs with Helena, Vivian looked around.

Brian and his group look up with dumbfounded expressions.

They cannot even dare to claim their share.

Vivian looked at them for a moment.

When I turned my head to the other side, Iris waved her hand at Vivian with a flushed face.

Ian next to him also smiled and raised his hand lightly as if he was satisfied.

Vivian also responded with a smile.

Helena also spotted Ian and waved his hand.

The magic stone that stood at the top of the platform was blue.

The color of an E-class magic stone.

“Helena.”

“Yes!”

“We did it.”

Helena smiled brightly.

“That’s right! We did it together!”

Together, the two of them touched the magic stone with one hand and took it out.

They held the magic stone together and waved their hands at Ian.

“Ian niiim-! We did it! ”

Helena screamed until her stomach rang.

The two stood there until the platform sank.

The cylindrical platform turned flat, and an old box was placed in its place.

It wasn’t there before.

“What is this?”

“Ugh… ? Well, I don’t know? This is my first time seeing it too… .”

Ian said as he approached us before we knew it.

“A box containing an artifact.”

“Yes?!”

“Ne?”

“Sometimes they fall from the ceiling or suddenly appear when you try to leave, but it’s relatively quiet here.”

Helena, Vivian, and even Iris.

The three looked at each other with similar expressions.

“Let’s open it.”

“Uh, uh, ah, yes, yes… .”

“… … .”

Vivian walked awkwardly toward the box.

It was the same with Helena.

“, shall we open it together?”

“Yes, yes… !”

After counting to three, they both opened the box at the same time.

There was a ring that was quite small compared to the size of the box.

Ian thought about giving it to Vivian, but didn’t bother to say it.

Helena may be disappointed.

“Uh, this, the ring, came out… .”

“Try it on once.”

“Neeh? Uh, then, hey, Helena first… .”

“Oh, no! Vivian first… !”

It seemed like the day would run out after we both put it off, so Ian just decided to do it.

“Vivien, try it on first. If you drain mana after putting it on, you will receive a response.”

“Yes… !”

After putting the ring on my index finger and letting the mana flow, a transparent cloud-like thing emerged from the ring.

“What is this… ?”

Iris shrugged off her glasses and stared at the clouds.

“Magical body… ?”

“It is a magic object that automatically casts stored magic on the enemy… . It’s quicker to say it yourself than to say it. Give it a try.”

“Umm… .”

Vivian thought seriously, then opened her mouth.

“Ra, save the lightning bolt… Rae?”

“… You don’t have to say it in words.”

“… … .”

Unlike Vivian’s face, which turned as red as a strawberry, the clouds were yellow and sparkled with small sparks.

“Try it once. With the feeling of casting magic on an enemy.”

“Umm… .”

Vivian was looking for a suitable target and found a fallen tree golem.

Ian predicted the power of the artifact.

‘Probably just average level… . If the sensitivity or adaptability is high, it will be stronger than that. In the first place, it was not an artifact whose core destructive power was… .’

When Vivian transferred her will to the magical body, a huge electric current was shot out.

– Kugwagwang!

It was an incredibly strong magic, not much different from Vivian’s usual Lightning Bolt.

The wooden golem, which had already been burned to a pulp, was hit by electricity and exploded in all directions.

“Oh wow… .”

Vivian exclaimed, and Ian frowned in surprise.

‘What, why are you so strong? It’s beyond the destructive power limit… ?’

I’m not sure, but the two words I just remembered suddenly flashed through my mind.

Mana sensitivity.

and artifact fit.

‘… Even if the sensitivity is the same, are you also born with the fitness?’

Unlike Ian, who was embarrassed, Vivian just blinked her eyes with an innocent expression and admired the artifact.
