Are they conflicting between their instinct of curiosity and their rational judgment that their position could become quite difficult if they make me, who is supposed to be the son-in-law of the party, a bad person?

Uncharacteristic of a wizard who is called the embodiment of cool-headed reason (this is, of course, the magicians themselves), Helena was chewing her lips.

If an ugly bitch was doing that, it would have been really disgusting, but since a beautiful woman like Helena was doing it, even that felt like a painting. Should I say that it felt like I was watching a scene from a movie?

Thanks to this, I was able to wait leisurely for Helena’s answer without feeling the slightest bit of nervousness.

What can I say?

I was already convinced from the moment I made the suggestion disguised as a question.

That Helena would not be able to refuse this offer.

After all, it’s like waving catnip, or rather catnip, in front of a cat. How can you not get over it?

Sure enough, Helena, who had been abusing her innocent lips, soon opened her mouth. The staring gaze and the cold madness in the eyes were a bonus.

“As I’ve said many times, it’s crazy.”

“I know.”

“You still want to do it?”

“I read somewhere that it is usually crazy things that change the world. Just as humans came to use pufferfish as a food ingredient.”

Now that I’m talking about it, a thought occurred to me: what on earth was the first human being to think of trying puffer fish?

Even considering the cancer, it definitely doesn’t look like it would be okay to eat.

As I was thinking a little pointless thoughts like that, a sound of wind escaped from the mouth of Helena, who was standing across from me and staring at me quietly.

“You were lying when you said you didn’t know much about wizards, right?”

“Hmm? Suddenly, what is that…?”

“Otherwise, this doesn’t make sense. Someone who doesn’t know much about wizards is making this suggestion?”

“What do you mean?”

“···Let’s give it a try.”

Was he on guard in case something went wrong and he ended up being in trouble? Before starting to teach in earnest, Helena cautioned me several times.

“Don’t forget. If you feel anything strange, stop there.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

“Don’t answer roughly!”

Was it because he reacted so sensitively to every word I said for a while that he realized that saying more would only hurt his own mouth?

Helena turned the conversation to something more constructive.

“You already feel enough mana, so it doesn’t matter if you skip the step of responding to the mana in the air, right?”

“Instead, just go the way an ordinary person would when they first get into magic.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Maybe I’ve been failing because I kept missing things one by one like that.”

Although he said that right away, that was only a superficial reason, and the real reason was different.

That means that the ‘inner energy’ contained within my Danjeon and the ‘mana’ that Helena is talking about right now may be completely separate energy sources.

From my perspective, I had no choice but to worry because the martial arts I learned, Uicheonmu, were not of this world.

Nevertheless, it was very likely that the fact that Uicheonmu could be performed safely in this world was a result of the power of the app.

And, more than anything… If the party’s office finds out about this, since they are trying to do something that will be worth the stamp of fire on their back in the shape of a palm, wouldn’t it be right to follow a method that is closer to the norm rather than a fuss?

So when I said that, Helena nodded with a sigh.

“I understand. Then let’s do that.”

It was soon clear why Helena sighed.

When I asked if I could step aside for a moment because I had to prepare something to do as I said, I obediently retreated to the wall, but as soon as I could, the DIY class with Teacher Helena began.

‘Is this really why…’

I was planning on eating it raw.

A process so complex unfolded before my eyes.

What was completed at the end of this process was a magic circle the size of half a training ground.

Could it be the power of the unknown powder sprinkled at the end? As I couldn’t take my eyes off the glowing blue magic circle, Helena seemed to have read the curiosity and questions in my gaze, and as she took a moment to catch her breath, an explanation about the magic circle flowed from her mouth.

“It’s a mana accumulation circle. It serves to collect mana in the air and at the same time filter out impure energies present in the mana.”

“In short, it’s like a water purifier filter.”

As soon as I said that, a slightly resigned look flew towards my face, but I just turned away.

Anyway, isn’t that a good thing?

“Can I sit here?”

“That’s right.”

“What is your posture?”

“It doesn’t matter what posture you are in as long as you think it’s comfortable.”

Helena, who said that, quietly added.

Because of that, sometimes there are weirdos who just lie down on the magic circle.

” Then, there was one person who fell asleep. ”

“What happened to that person?”

“What do you think happened?”

There was something creepy about the sneaky smile. So, without asking any more questions, I quietly went to the center of the camp and sat down.

“What should I do now?”

“First of all, the beginning is not much different from when the martial arts people enter the meditation practice. Close your eyes and feel it.”

Feeling probably refers to mana.

Is it okay to just follow what I learned in the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

With my eyes closed, I took deep breaths and exhaled repeatedly until my lungs began to hurt. Every time I did that, the shapes of the places where the air that was sucked into my body through my nose and mouth passed through became clearer little by little.

I started from exactly there and drew the surrounding scenery.

And so, the moment when I finally completed the image of myself sitting straight on the blue glowing magic circle –

‘···ah.’

A small but brilliant sea of stars unfolded before my eyes.

A very different landscape from the one seen in the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Nevertheless, it must have been a moment when I was half-enchanted and appreciating the scenery that left me speechless.

“If you succeed in imaging mana, the next step is to absorb them into your body. However, unlike the martial arts people who receive mana through their nose and mouth, wizards receive mana through their skin.”

What was eventually added was a somewhat absurd-sounding statement: to breathe through the skin.

No, humans are not frogs and how can they breathe through their skin?

I thought about that right away, but since I am now in a position to receive guidance, I decided to do as I was told for now.

‘You breathe through your skin…’

Is it okay to think of yourself as sitting in a sauna?

I briefly imagined it, but it had no real effect. The images that came to mind afterward were not much different.

It feels like I can sense something, but I can’t…

As I was struggling alone like that, Helena, who could not see me like that, cautiously intervened.

“It seems that the martial methods are so ingrained that it is difficult to get a feel for them. I’ll help you just this once, so feel free.”

A soft hand touched my back.

It was at that time that the things that had been hovering at a distance, as if to annoy me, came closer to me as if they had never happened before.

Stars were everywhere, swirling along my skin.

At the same time, he was gently touching my skin… Thanks to this, I was able to get a vague sense of it.

Exactly what it feels like to receive mana through your skin.

‘This is what it feels like.’

Maybe it was because there was a rhythm to it, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy from then on.

Starlight began to seep into the body through the skin, as if the skin had turned into a sponge.

Didn’t she get the position as the head mage of the Magic Tower based on her breast size? Did Helena also sense the change that had occurred in me?

Advice followed immediately.

“I think it surrounds the heart using the mana that flows into the body. If mana settles in the heart, it is a success.”

Directing the mana towards the heart itself was not that difficult. Moving the energy is something I do every time.

“Keep in mind. If you feel anything strange, stop immediately.”

A handful of starlight that seeped into the body through the skin was carefully guided towards the heart, as if handling a lost child.

Just as I was about to settle it in my heart…

Ugh!

The internal resonator, which had been quietly sleeping in the Danjeon until then, woke up like a swarm of bees that had invaded its territory and started rushing towards the heart.

‘Kuh…?!’

Even though I tried to calm it down later, it was no use.

It surged forward without hesitation, as if it had no intention of stopping until it had cut off the thing that dared to invade its territory, and hit the thing that had just reached the heart.

Boom!

Feeling like my body is split in half.

“Kuhhh!”

At the same time, something thick surged along my throat.

Something escaped my lips and ran down my chin.

“···I knew it would be like this. what are you doing? Don’t you stop right now?!”

A voice that was half of relief and half of embarrassment pierced my ears.

Yes, as the saying goes, if you think rationally, it would be right to stop now.

I’m sure that’s the right decision… but why do I feel like I just need to do a little more?

-Don’t forget. Disciple. Uicheonmu is a martial art that captures the sky. And the sky embraces anything.

On the other hand, the fact that I felt like Jo-in’s voice was ringing in my ears at this moment meant that I should trust myself and try one more time.

‘Geocha…’

I heard you treat your student harshly.

But what can you do?

The only teacher I recognize tells me to give it another try.

Did he not like my choice?

The internal resonator hit my body more violently.

As if it doesn’t matter even if he gets broken like this.

Cooung! Boom!

Every time the collision was repeated, my consciousness seemed to turn white.

Is this how the women who were fucking me felt like this?

A sudden thought occurred to me and I suddenly felt very dirty.

How dare this bastard try to fuck me?

Immediately, I lost control of the mana I had absorbed through my skin.

And then he started operating Uicheonmu with all his might.

I grabbed the hair of the thing that was running wild without even noticing the owner, and then repeatedly slammed it to the floor, so the thing that had been running wild without paying attention instantly became obedient.

Little by little, I led the path towards the scattered Mana.

As soon as I did that, I was once again shocked inside my body… but I didn’t pay any attention to it and tightly wrapped the thing that was on the verge of disintegrating with my internal resonator.

Yes, I literally hugged him.

That was when the change occurred.

The properties of the internal resonator began to change little by little, as if it were absorbing mana.

Is this the tolerance that Uicheonmu has that Jo In spoke of?

Instead of the familiar blue light, I carefully guided it to my heart, which had now turned dark blue.

And then, it wraps around my heart…

The night sky settled in my heart along with the feeling as if something was seeping into my body.

Embracing the small but brilliantly shining Milky Way.
