Chapter Index

    Evening of the 10th day.

    Self-training time.

    At the training center.

    “Instructor Croshell ran away.”

    “I heard there was even a wanted notice posted outside. I really didn’t know you were that kind of person.”

    A rumor spread throughout the training camp.

    Not only did Crochel lose the duel of honor, but he secretly ran away and is plotting an evil plan.

    The instructors hissed and kept quiet, but birds hear what you say during the day and rats hear what you say at night.

    The rumor soon reached Ronica’s ears.

    “Keu… I knew he was a bad person from the first time I saw him, but I never thought it would be to that extent. Did you really run away?”

    “… danger. He might be targeting Ronica.”

    “Keu… It can’t possibly be like that. Okay!! Let’s practice! Become stronger as soon as possible so you don’t have to worry about anything!!”

    “Yes!!”

    The two began training with burning determination.

    Ronica wielding a wooden sword.

    Fiona shoots a beam of light in conjunction with him.

    I also did not sit still and watch. If you want to grow quickly, you will desperately need my help.

    ◎︎ Use possession.

    Huh profit!!!

    I swung the sword with Ronica’s body.

    ‘Kya!~ The black guy is moving my body!! ‘Do whatever you want with me!!!’

    I taught Ronica the skills of the Wind Cloud Sword in earnest.

    In any case, Halo will correct any shortcomings. He will be able to explain the mechanics of the Wind Cloud Sword well.

    I let Ronica experience the technology.

    Tsunami makes them understand and refines them.

    “Ronika… Ronica’s mood suddenly changed… … Too strong!!!”

    Fiona was amazed by the flashy movements and shouted excitedly.

    Without hesitation, I continued stabbing with the sword.

    He thrust his sword and brought his center forward.

    At the moment when he felt like he was about to fall, his entire body rotated together as if it had become one with the sword.

    fault.

    Phew!!!!!

    As he leapt lightly, his entire body stretched out like a drill, adding powerful destructive power.

    It is a technique that sweeps the front lines while moving quickly.

    The Wind Cloud Sword does not stab lightly every time. By adding rotation to the rotational force and rotation of the wind, it produces powerful destructive power.

    ‘Wow!! I feel like my whole body has become wind. How is this movement possible?

    Something small is stirring inside.

    After demonstrating a few more techniques, I returned ownership of the body to Ronica.

    “Squaw!! I will follow you!!”

    “I don’t know what it is, but… Cheering!!”

    Afterwards, Ronica imitated several movements to emulate the techniques I showed her.

    If I couldn’t figure it out and my posture seemed to be very wrong, I demonstrated the technique again.

    once.

    twice.

    Five times.

    Ten times.

    A hundred times.

    Ronica spared no effort to learn the same movements as she always did.

    After the training was over, the next day, I approached the instructor and demonstrated my skills.

    “Huh. What is this technology… No, I still see some shortcomings.”

    By linking up with the tidal wave, Ronica’s training efficiency increased dramatically.

    Halo, who had learned the techniques of the Wind Cloud Sword in theory, corrected the strange parts, and Ronica performed the technique with a more correct posture.

    A collaboration between the tsunami instructor and me.

    Thanks to this, Ronica’s swordsmanship skills improved unbelievably quickly.

    The basics that have been developed so far.

    Demonstration of techniques that can be felt directly with the body.

    The teachings of Hailo, a pure swordsman genius.

    In particular, experiencing the senses directly through possession was nothing short of a cheat. With Halo leading the cheat, its effectiveness increased several times.

    No matter how talented you are, if you teach like this, you cannot fail to grow.

    “Haaaap!!!”

    Rotating stab.

    A weak wind reaches out to the tip of the sword.

    Even though it didn’t fully contain the wind, it was a threatening attack that would work well here.

    “You did it.”

    “Yes! All of this is thanks to the black guy and the instructor!!”

    I am satisfied.

    I also had no idea that my student would grow so quickly.

    This much in just a few days.

    How much will Ronica grow in the future?

    ‘I guess teaching about the tidal wave was the right answer.’

    Obviously, if I had approached and taught him through hand-painting, his identity would have been revealed before I could even teach him the proper techniques, which would have led to a strange relationship.

    It will be fun to watch my student grow in the future.

    *

    Dawn of the 11th day.

    “Pihuuu~”

    I escaped from the arms of Ronica, who was sleeping soundly.

    This is for early morning training.

    “Ugh… huh? Black guy come out and come back?”

    When I got out of his arms, Ronika woke up with half-closed eyes, wondering how she knew.

    Then he closed his eyes tightly and continued speaking.

    “I want to go out together!!… It might be impossible here.”

    “Sniff… .”

    “So, even if you are a black person, you should go out and do whatever you want to your heart’s content. I never worry!! Because if black people are happy, I’m happy too~”

    The guy smiled brightly, got up and opened the window to see them off.

    Consideration reflected in seemingly insignificant actions.

    I guess this is why I can’t hate my disciple.

    then.

    “Cow!”

    I will come back.

    “Yes.”

    I climbed up to the window and dived in the early morning moonlight.

    The training center is spacious.

    7 training centers and 10 buildings.

    Main building.

    restaurant.

    swordsman

    Magic pipe.

    Breeding center.

    Liberal Arts Knowledge Center.

    Combat simulation hall.

    Three accommodations for instructors and cadets.

    In addition, there are gardens and outdoor rest areas, and there is a castle-like wall surrounding the entire training center.

    There is no better place to practice.

    Tadat!

    However, I left the training center and headed to the forest.

    Because outdoor patrols and watchdogs are set up, it is difficult to walk around the training center, and if you practice hiding in the garden, the surroundings may become a mess.

    That’s why I went into the forest every morning to practice.

    ◎︎ Use growth control.

    ◎︎ Grows 17 times its original size.

    ◎︎ Physical ability increases 3 times.

    Moderately far away.

    Sreuk!

    He grew bigger and grew six fingernails.

    It’s different from a sword.

    To put it bluntly, it is similar to a dagger.

    No, it’s just a slightly longer and sharper fingernail.

    So what kind of martial arts character should I portray?

    Although I have been living in the body of a phantom beast for a year, I have not yet been able to create a proper martial art.

    The reason is because it is different from the human body.

    flexibility.

    Flow range.

    Instant explosive power.

    Higher and wider field of view than usual.

    In most other respects, it is superior to the human body.

    In other words, everything from the Martial Arts movement line used when human beings, the number of herbivores used to link attacks, and even the size of the force according to the range of movement must be completely changed.

    In order to make full use of Hwansu’s body, martial arts optimized for this body are needed.

    However, this is not easy.

    This body is capable of movements that were difficult when we were human.

    Numerous additional actions can be added.

    It can fly like a butterfly and spread the wings of an eagle, run like a tiger and bite like a dragon, or fly like a cloud with its heavy body.

    This means that it can pose an anomalous threat to the enemy through unpredictable movements.

    okay.

    It’s an anomaly.

    I am creating a martial art that depicts anomalies.

    I am not familiar with irregularities, and it is difficult to bring in existing martial arts skills, but I have completed research on basic movements for about a year.

    The name of the martial art was Yeokyulkwon (逆汩拳).

    It means fighting against the flow.

    And finally, today I plan to continue the basics and make a vegetarian meal.

    For reference, the first meal is complete.

    It’s just a punch.

    Now it’s time to make the second meal.

    Whilick!~

    The capital was raised.

    The result is a straight line.

    I felt a small, curved cylindrical space in the texture leading to my fingertips.

    Okay.

    I extended my left foot to expand the range of the upper surface of the cylinder.

    Put your shoulders back.

    Bend your knees as if doing limbo.

    He kicked his right foot up and lowered his capital in a spiral, adding rotation.

    Attack both top and bottom at the same time.

    Turn your body halfway, step forward with your right foot, and kick the opposite foot backwards to connect.

    Although it was an unreasonable movement that would have twisted the waist, he swung his left hand at the same time.

    Twisted center of gravity?

    That’s no problem either.

    Tuk!

    The long black-purple mane of this body can be moved at will, and the fur can be puffed out or hardened to touch the ground as it is now.

    Woe!!-

    Squeak!!

    The sharp left hand was drawn.

    Trees along the path were heavily cut down.

    Originally, a large gap would have been revealed a couple of times, but this body continued the movement immediately without feeling any discomfort even when the movement exceeded its limit.

    A subversive and irregular action.

    This is the basic trick of the two-second diet.

    If it is used in large numbers, it can crush the front line by adding a large slash and a forward waterspout and blow it away like dust.

    It is an absurd martial art that can only be used with the body of a phantom beast.

    Nails that can be sharply pulled out.

    A two-pronged cloak mane that is more useful than arms.

    A movement that easily overcomes human limitations.

    Whoa~

    I concentrated while feeling the early morning breeze.

    If I complete this martial arts using my past life as a stepping stone, I can become stronger.

    To create a new version of my own martial arts.

    I stretched out my feet and punched out my fists.

    After training adequately, I returned to my lodgings and fell asleep under Ronika’s neck.

    Cozy.

    *

    “It seems that there are still many people who do not know the principles of magic, so I will explain them in detail.”

    Joint training in the morning of the 12th day.

    Instructor Chalosi stood on the podium in the Magic Hall classroom and taught magic.

    Pook~

    “Hehe… .”

    I lay down cross-legged on the desk as usual, and Ronica gently poked my side.

    Next to me, Fiona is looking at this with envy.

    ‘… ‘Are these people here to receive training?’

    Procrastination.

    The neck and back massage began.

    The drowsy feeling makes me raise my head.

    “Nose, cologne~”

    Chalosi glances at this place for a moment.

    It seems like they are ignoring the noise and moving on because it is not a particularly disturbing noise, but there is nothing good about continuing to be a nuisance.

    “Kiya~”

    “Yes.”

    When I quietly whispered to her to concentrate, Ronica finally took her hand away and listened to the training.

    I also took Chalosi’s lecture.

    I’m curious about how you teach.

    “For magic, the arrangement of mana required is different depending on the combination of runes, and the level of magic can vary greatly depending on the difference in one letter.”

    Basic magic theory.

    Let me explain briefly.

    Rune combinations are the basic framework for magic.

    The mana arrangements that fit that mold are all different.

    As Chalosh said, magic can go from 1-star to 5-star magic with just one rune difference.

    Moreover, it is difficult to memorize or understand magic sequences, so even wizards do not know many magics.

    ‘That’s why they gather at a place called the Magic Tower and interact.’

    Therefore, memorize and improve only a few main spells. In other words, there are quite a few wizards who only focus on one attribute.

    “Scholars at the Magic Tower identified the type of magic by checking the complexity of the arrangement and the amount of mana consumed, and some of these were distributed to the public. The magic we learn begins here.”

    The more complex it is, the longer it takes to cast.

    The more complex it is, the more mana it consumes.

    This determines the magical number.

    Here, a high-level wizard is capable of more precise control and faster movement by expanding the mana circuit.

    Therefore, of course, high-level magicians have an advantage in using high-level magic.

    This is the basic theory of magic.

    “Wow… I understand… … So, you have to memorize the runes, how to combine them, and the corresponding mana arrangement, right? Ugh… Can I use this?”

    “… huh. It’s a little complicated… Possible.”

    Ronica looks bored.

    Fiona nods and responds.

    There is a reason why wizards are called geniuses.

    It’s a crazy genius to understand.

    Usually, I memorize, memorize, memorize, and then cast a spell.

    As the number increases, this task becomes more extensive.

    You must have been embarrassed by the high entry barrier.

    Talent.

    aptitude.

    hour.

    Nothing can be left out.

    So magic swordsmen are very rare. This is because there is not enough time to train swordsmanship and magic together right now, let alone the aptitude for mana circuitry.

    “Did everyone roughly understand?”

    After finishing his explanation, Chalosi glanced at the cadets.

    Except for the special magic students, most of them looked dazed, as if they had had trouble sleeping all night.

    “Hmm… Well, I’ll tell you step by step, so don’t make that face anymore.”

    Afterwards, Chalosi explained the magic theory a few more times to make it easier to understand, and then had the children memorize the runes.

    “… still. I think it’s fun. If I practice, I can use magic, right?”

    Should I say I am fortunate?

    The student’s eyes were shining until the magic education was over.

    The look in his eyes was that he wanted to learn magic.

    Come to think of it, Ronica’s eyes always sparkled whenever she saw magic.

    If that’s the case… .

    ‘It’s time for this teacher to step forward again.’

    It’s just that kind of magic.

    I will teach you this.

    *

    Somewhere in the den of Necropolis followers.

    A warlock and instructor Croshell made eye contact.

    “Hehehe. Nice to meet you. Instructor at the training center. I know they hire some bad guys on this street these days. It’s for revenge.”

    “Do you know everything?… good night. I came here hoping for that too.”

    Instructor Croshell smiled bitterly.

    A man in black robes whose status is unknown. Of course I didn’t want to do business with someone like this.

    But I’ve already decided.

    To take revenge and be born again.

    But you should be careful.

    Crochel asked cautiously.

    “I want to make a contract with the devil. Is it possible?”

    “… The devil. There is something better than that. No, only this is possible.”

    “Hmm?”

    “I was looking for someone with high level skills like you. If you succeed, you will be able to achieve your dreams.”

    “Are you asking me to become a test subject?”

    “With the recent development of new methods, the success rate has increased significantly. If successful, you can directly draw on the power of the devil.”

    “This is an absurd experiment. I will refuse. Let’s go somewhere else.”

    Croshell turned around.

    No matter how much he decides to live a life of darkness, he is confident in his own abilities.

    There is nothing good about such a dangerous experiment.

    “Wait.”

    “… What is it?”

    The warlock blocked the front.

    He said with a wry smile.

    “It seems that the messenger of Necropolis wants to meet you. Let’s have a conversation.”

    “Hmm?”

    Ttuduk.

    Wood-dud-duk!!

    Suddenly, a horned skull emerged from the warlock’s back through his robes.

    Very bizarre appearance.

    “Huh?… .”

    “Human… I have another offer for you. Find a pure offering for your advent in this world. If you were you, you would be able to lure the innocent yet young boy from the training camp. I will sweep up the rest.”

    A voice that sounds like scraping metal.

    Just by looking at it, I could see that it was something unusual.

    “… Arch Rich? That’s awesome. Are you really from Necropolis?”

    “Our purpose is the same. I will sacrifice the valuable personnel of the training center, and you want revenge. So join me.”

    “… … … okay. If that’s all it takes, it won’t matter.”

    Croshell did not bother to refuse.

    A strong person like this could completely wipe out the training camp. Then, I might be able to get revenge on the training center director, who I didn’t even think about.

    No, it is possible.

    The target of Necropolis is guaranteed to die.

    Also, surprisingly, it is a place that values ​​promises and contracts.

    There was nothing bad about this deal.

    “… First of all, I want to hear in detail what your plan is.”

    “Take that to my contractor. I will be waiting here. Hahahahahahaha!!!!”

    Tap.

    With a resounding laugh, the warlock’s back returned to its original state.

    The warlock sweated and opened his mouth.

    “Hehehe… You are blessed. I never thought I would deal with him directly. You won’t regret it. If you give us information about the training center and help us, our mission will be successful!”

    “… Please explain your plan.”

    “Yes! Sure. Very step by step.”

    Afterwards, the two began a conversation that would make you cringe just by hearing it.

    About the ritual of sacrificing a child.

    Soon the two smiled sinisterly at each other and shook hands.

    The deal was done.
