·’Then yes…’

There is no way it will succeed.

To be honest, I wasn’t that surprised. That’s because, no matter what that man named Yoon Soo-hyun might be like, she didn’t even think that this attempt would be successful in the first place.

Is a taboo a taboo for nothing? Things that are considered taboo among people all have a good reason, so they are called taboos.

So, from the beginning, I didn’t think that Su-hyeon’s attempt would succeed, but nevertheless, the reason I helped that man’s attempt was literally out of curiosity.

Why is it impossible to learn magic and martial arts at the same time?

As I was listening to Soo-hyeon’s remarks that were made to lure this side, I cooperated to more quickly resolve the questions that popped into my head, and I succeeded in ‘observing’ the part I was most curious about with my own eyes. There was no longer any reason to continue this reckless experiment.

That’s why I dissuaded Su-hyeon…

As a martial arts person who prefers to use his body rather than his head, this man named Su-hyeon seemed to have no intention of stopping even though he had already failed once badly.

“Hey! Didn’t you hear? Stop right now!?”

That’s why I felt a little urgent.

Trying to do the same thing again when your entire body was already in shambles from the first collision.

Anyway, why are the martial arts people so ignorant and reckless?

If you try it once and it doesn’t work, you should know how to give up cleanly…

It must have been at the moment when he clicked his tongue lightly and was quickly closing the distance between him and Su-hyeon, who had widened the distance for fear of causing trouble.

An abnormality was detected through the ‘Eye of the Contemplator’, a magic that was being used to observe more closely what was happening inside Su-hyeon’s body.

Su-hyeon suddenly lost control of the mana, or rather, the magical power absorbed through his skin.

Then, he began to control the martial artist’s unique energy, inner energy, which was in rough conflict with it.

Are you thinking of first calming down the crazy behavior?

Even if you do that, the results won’t change…

I don’t know anything else, but I could say that one part with certainty. Even if you change your approach, there is no way the word failure written in the results column will change into success.

Honestly, this has to be the case… According to the observation results just now, the wizard’s magic power and the warrior’s inner strength are like water and oil.

Should I say it’s also very cold water and boiling oil?

So, even when the two met, instead of mixing, they only collided, which was close to an explosion.

So even if you change your approach now, the results will not be different…

The inner energy that came under the man’s control lost its control and tightly enveloped the magic power that was gradually dissipating.

What happened afterwards left the viewer perplexed.

‘···uh?’

When magical power and internal energy meet in this way, it is normal for them to collide as before, but unlike before, the collision did not occur.

Instead of the two colliding with each other, the inner energy began to swallow up the magic power.

No, the expression “devour it” might not be appropriate. Rather than feeling like it’s being swallowed, it’s more like… absorption? Yeah, it was closer to that feeling.

Is that why?

A change occurred in the man’s internal strength, which was as perfectly blue as the waters of the Adriatic Sea.

The color of the inner sphere changed from blue to dark blue, reminiscent of the night sky.

And the moment the blue-black thing moved carefully and touched Suhyun’s heart.

Huuung!!

A golden disk appeared behind the man who was sitting in the middle of the magic circle.

A phenomenon called ‘Circle of Glory’ among those who walk the path of magic.

A true scene that can only be seen when someone engraves magical energy into their heart for the first time unfolded before my eyes, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

It had no choice but to be like that.

If you only count the years since the existence of magic and martial arts were revealed to people, it would be several decades, and if you also count the time before that, a taboo that may have lasted for close to a thousand years has been broken at this moment.

And that too… right in front of her eyes.

All wizards are observers and recorders.

And she, too, was not free from that major premise.

However… I witnessed a moment that might possibly become an inflection point in human history.

Wouldn’t it be strange if one could remain calm in such a situation?

No, even if that is the case, how is this possible?

Is it because of Su-hyeon’s last act, which seems to cover her magical power with her inner strength?

So did this happen?

That was the first guess that came to mind, but I quickly shook my head. Because I don’t think failure would have turned into success because of that.

Among the numerous attempts that have been made so far, it seems unlikely that there will be someone who has tried something like Suhyeon.

So, rather than a difference in method… I think it may be that the Naegongsim method that Su-hyeon learned is unique.

Starting with that thought, all kinds of thoughts literally popped into my head, but one thing was certain: there were a lot of things worth researching.

This is just an assumption, but what if we study Su-hyeon and succeed in uncovering the mechanism by which he was able to coexist the conflicting energies of internal energy and magical power within his body?

It wouldn’t be a stretch to achieve world hegemony.

‘This is absolutely no exaggeration.’

What can hardly be considered an overly imaginative thing is, for example, when martial arts people of similar status face off against each other, what if only one side is able to use magic…?

A pure martial artist could never be a match for someone who used both martial arts and magic.

To put it bluntly, on the day when someone who has learned martial arts and magic at the same time throws something like Grease, one of the common magics, in the process of clashing with each other, the side that only knows martial arts is bound to be helplessly defeated.

That’s not all.

There were plenty of other ways to use it.

She casts Light, another common magic, in front of the opponent’s eyes to produce an effect similar to a flashbang, or uses Lightning, the basic magic of her school, around a weapon to cause stiffness in the opponent’s body due to electric current.

There are almost dozens of ways to use them that immediately come to mind, but what happens if you make up your mind and dig into them?

Ordinary martial arts people would never be a match for those who use martial arts and magic simultaneously.

And that… wouldn’t be much different even if you were a wizard.

Even so, wizards are often referred to as close combat eunuchs.

However, if a martial artist who succeeded in storing magic power in his body learns something like shield magic and then uses it to block most magic and then uses it to force a close fight by pushing in…

It would be an instant for the wizard’s head to be blown off by a sword or spear swung in the hands of a martial artist.

‘No, the really worst thing is…’

This is a case where a martial artist learns life magic.

Imagine that the people who are already shunned by both wizards and martial artists because of their unique and bizarre regenerative powers are those who belong to the Magic Tower of Life, and that the martial people learn their magic.

I didn’t know that this was not just a rumor, but that an immortal army that only appeared in legends would be born.

So… I had to find out somehow.

Everyone who has attempted the same thing so far has failed miserably, so why was it that only that man, Su-hyeon, was able to succeed?

In order to do that, it was necessary to secure a semen sample from Su-hyeon.

If we secure semen that contains genetic information and the energy of the inner gongsim method that Soo-hyeon has learned, and continue to conduct research, we may be able to find out.

The difference between failures and Su-hyeon.

That was why.

Instead of trying to control his expression, he walked briskly towards Su-hyeon, who was just getting up from his seat, with the fact that he was very surprised clearly visible on his face.

*****

‘Uhm…’

Is it because of the new energy that has taken its place in the heart rather than the familiar Danjeon?

It felt like it was tingling somewhere inside my chest.

So, as I was scratching the part that felt itchy over my clothes… I suddenly realized.

That physical condition is not a true statement.

Should I say that he looks fine on the outside and is nothing but a rag on the inside?

After the impact, which felt as if my body was split in half, all the energy and blood inside my body was completely consumed, probably due to the repeated collisions.

Because of that, just the simple act of getting up from my seat made blood rush from the inside of my body.

“Ugh-!”

Should I ask the dispensary to make something like medicine for internal injuries?

However, if you suddenly ask for something like medicine for internal injuries, you will definitely be asked why you need it…

It must have been a moment when I was thinking those thoughts and eagerly spitting out the dead blood that kept filling up my mouth.

“No, how on earth is this…”

A voice filled with shock and confusion flowed into my ears.

It was none other than Helena’s.

“No, that’s not it… I’ll give you treatment first, so just stay still.”

She accepted my suggestion to satisfy her personal curiosity, but perhaps she never expected that it would actually succeed.

Helena’s voice trembled slightly, as if her excitement could not subside as she faced the day when she would receive the title of ‘the first in human history’.

I thought to myself as I saw Helena, her face flushed with excitement, calmly placing her hand on my chest.

‘This woman…maybe she was an easier partner than I thought…?’
