Chapter 15 – Package (2)

A knight who deals with mana.

The way they utilized mana was not simply wrapping mana around their swords.

There were numerous ways to use mana, but the Vallaran Royal Knight Academy categorized the ways of using mana into six categories.

The most basic thing was [circulation].

Once you clear the path for mana to travel through your body, the effects of all subsequent techniques vary depending on how smoothly you could move.

The next steps were [maintenance] and [concentration].

The method was simple.

Literally, [Maintain] was to apply mana to something, and [Concentrate] was to concentrate mana on one point when necessary.

For example, when you had to withstand an enemy attack, you had to cover your entire armor with mana, but when you had the opportunity to strike a decisive blow, you had to be able to put mana only on your sword.

What next?

It was [Bonding] and [Release].

Now, at this stage, we could say that we had gone beyond the basics.

The two techniques were to prevent the target from falling through mana, or to send a chunk of mana into the air if necessary.

[Transformation] was, of course, the most difficult technique.

Even knights who could use the above techniques with ease often found [Transformation] difficult.

But all of that did not apply to Henry Camilton, a trainee at the Vallaran Royal Academy.

‘This is outrageous.’

That was Henry’s first impression.

Five beads excluding the talent of [Circulation].

Henry poured all of them into his mouth at the same time, and soon had to experience all five flavors together.

Salty, bitter, sour, spicy, astringent.

At the end of that strange and strange wave of taste, Henry was able to acquire all his talents at once.

“I can do it.”

A word without context.

After saying this to the wizards who were watching with interest, Henry immediately started demonstrating.

“You may not be able to see it, but mana is flowing through my entire body right now.”

The first was [Circulation].

As if warming up the device, I circulated the mana a couple of times through the path created in my body.

“And what you see now.”

Henry raised his sword.

Ugh.

A bluish mana film surrounded the sword, and soon spread to the entire body armor.

“This is [Yuji]. The level is shallow, so the thickness is also thin. However, this alone will be enough to engage in an overwhelming battle against an opponent who cannot use mana.”

Overwhelming battle.

This was not an exaggeration.

A sword without mana could not make a scratch on it, and vice versa.

[Is it a dragon ball??]

[Isn’t it like this and then it starts flying?? LOL They say you can do things like this if you use mana LOL]

[ㄹㅇLOL]

I saw some chatting coming up, but Henry wasn’t in a mental state to focus on it.

Because overwhelming joy was filling my whole body.

Then, the mana surrounding the body wriggled as if pulsating.

“ , [].”

.

.

.

The sword, which was only a bluish color, was now emitting fierce light in deep blue color.

“Right now, I’m only focusing my mana on my sword, but when I have to defend against a fatal attack, this kind of light will be emanating from my armor. I heard that a skilled knight will constantly move the position of his mana in every attack and defense.”

Henry .

No, wasn’t even this situation a dream moment for Henry in the first place?

“…….”

Now it was time to move on.

The level of joy was gradually becoming stronger.

I had finally achieved the dream I had been dreaming of for so many years, and it was possible to reach a higher place.

“ []…….”

but.

“…… .”

Henry was forced to extinguish the flame in his heart.

Because the sound of announcing a visitor was hitting my ears.

7 30.

Chief instructor Rousseau must had come because he was worried.

[Ah, timing hahaha]

[Why now!!!!]

[I was most curious about the transformation haha ​​haha]

As the fever cooled down, my mind returned, albeit slightly at ease.

Only then was Henry able to read the chat.

‘The response was good.’

More important than the fact that Rousseau visited was the reaction of these magicians.

I gained talent thanks to these people, and I definitely needed their help to advance to the next level.

But even so.

“I won’t be able to read the chat for a while. I apologize in advance.”

The order was to resolve the immediate situation.

Chief Instructor Russo.

The person who lent this place, and the person who discovered Henry’s talent faster than anyone else at this academy.

It was true that there was nothing to learn from him right now.

But didn’t you already feel it?

What you need to survive in the academy was not just skill.

Soon, Rousseau walked in, with a dull face as always.

“Instructor.”

“I apologize if I was in your way.”

“Not really.”

Russo looked somewhat uncomfortable.

A face that wants to say something but could’t.

Henry decided to hit the player.

“I was preparing according to the instructor’s advice. Fortunately, I had no trouble understanding it because the instructor adjusted it to my level.”

“I knew you were strong in theory. Fortunately, it seems you were good enough to apply it in practice.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Rousseau was silent again.

Of course, there was a lot I wanted to say.

Because the test was tomorrow.

How successful was the training? Was just one or two days not enough time? Did I need to rest now for the exam tomorrow?

But in the end, all those questions were for nothing.

Because I had never asked Henry a question like that before.

But fortunately.

“hmm.”

Rousseau was able to find suitable topics for conversation.

“That sword… wasn’t it uncomfortable to use?”

The training sword in Henry’s hand.

That was a high-quality item even in Rousseau’s gym.

Because it looked like it had been freshly forged, anyone who was not skilled in swordsmanship would get goosebumps on the back of their neck just by looking at it.

“I’ve gotten used to it a lot.”

also.

Henry Camilton was not only unable to handle mana, but his swordsmanship skills were extremely excellent.

“That’s great. But I recommend switching swords until you take the test. Loading up on mana is not easy, and the level of the weapon has a huge impact on the process.”

“Ah, that.”

Henry paused for a moment.

The chat window that I looked at with just my eyes was showing the same content as Henry’s thoughts.

[Hasn’t it already been successful??]

[Wasn’t it covered with quality? LOL]

[If you lower the weapon level, will the level go up further??]

“Are you talking about the process of loading mana?”

“It will be painful to gain one experience. After that, it will just depend on the amount of training… but why?”

Russo tilted his head.

Because Henry’s expression was somewhat awkward.

“Well, actually….”

“…….”

“You’ve already succeeded, instructor.”

“So, the attempt… was successful?”

“yes.”

Russo’s eyes widened. Immediately after hearing Henry’s calm answer, he looked at his training sword and Henry’s face in turn.

“You succeeded in loading mana into that sword?”

“……yes.”

Russo was at a loss for words for a moment.

I knew Henry was a genius.

So much so that the entire path was cleared in just one day.

However, there was a gap as big as heaven and earth between clearing a path and loading mana into the sword.

“Can you show me?”

“yes.”

Almost at the same time as the answer.

Russo saw the abundance of mana surrounding Henry’s sword.

So, exactly the mana surrounding the sword.

“……Did you mean it?”

“yes.”

“If so, what about parts other than the sword?”

“You can do it.”

The mana of the sword spread lightly.

From head to toe.

Russo was at a loss for words as the wall of mana spread evenly.

‘It wasn’t just a genius.’

This wasn’t a level of talent that could be called a genius.

Knights whose names were widely known throughout history.

Because it was not enough to compare to them.

‘It bothers me that my talent hasn’t been revealed for three years, but… … That won’t be an important issue.’

I cleared the path just one day after feeling the mana.

Then, the next day, [Maintenance] and [Concentration] were done smoothly.

Of course, the level itself was low.

But wasn’t that ultimately something that could be achieved through physical training?

‘Just a one-time experience. ‘How many people devoted themselves to training day and night to overcome that wall?’

Rousseau was one of them, and so were all the trainees here.

But what about Henry?

He had crossed over the wall in one go and was looking at Rousseau himself.

‘With eyes that say you don’t know anything.’

I had no choice but to not know.

Anyone who had even dipped their toes in it would know how enormous what had just happened was.

But what about Henry?

Because I was isolated and walked the arduous path alone.

“……Do you know the six ways to utilize mana?”

“I know. Circulation, focus, maintenance, bonding, release… the last is transformation.”

“That cannot be said to be the totality of mana utilization. But it is certainly the foundation. Everything else starts from those six skills.”

“yes.”

“You have shown circulation, focus, and retention. It is amazing, Henry. You may not feel it, but you are now more talented than any trainee at this academy.”

“Instructor.”

“Let me speak.”

“Actually, I still have something left to show you.”

Rousseau, who was explaining, looked into Henry’s eyes.

“Still left?”

“yes.”

“……I think it would be best to look at that first.”

I tried hard to hide my embarrassment. In front of Russo, who was pretending to be Taeyeon, Henry calmly raised his sword.

A sword covered in mana.

Henry spread the hand holding the handle.

“……Solidarity.”

Muttering like that was all Rousseau could did.

Because the difficult technique of connecting a knight and an object with mana was what Henry was now performing.

Even.

The distance between the sword and the palm widened slightly.

“Until release….”

It was a more difficult skill than bonding.

If you could handle this freely, it was theoretically possible to deal with dozens of enemies.

Another moment.

“…….”

Rousseau saw that Henry’s sword blade was bent.

This was the transformation.

Although it was in a crude form, Henry would be evaluated as a ‘talented knight’ simply by being able to did this.

Of course, at least this was a story that involved several years of painstaking effort.

‘genius… … ‘He’s a genius.’

Now Rousseau didn’t know what to say.

He came here to give advice that wasn’t advice, but the way Henry looked now was beyond his imagination.

But unlike Rousseau, who was at a loss for words.

Henry Camilton had something he wanted to say.

“Instructor.”

“……okay.”

“If the instructor is that surprised, it won’t end up like this for everyone else at the academy.”

“I guess so.”

Rousseau did not deny it.

This would arouse the envy and jealousy of many people, and unprecedented attention would be focused on a trainee named Henry Camilton.

The dean, who had previously hated Henry, was probably also caught in the middle.

‘The type of problem has changed.’

Until now, Henry had been in a position where he only had to worry about ‘surviving.’

To the extent that I had to put in all my possible efforts to survive even with my limited abilities.

But from now on.

The urgent task was to deflect the keen attention that would be poured on the rapidly emerging genius.

“You are a genius, Henry.”

“I now have confidence after hearing the instructor’s words. Thank you.”

There was no need for clumsy humility.

No, actually, a response like this was nothing short of humble.

also.

Since ancient times, the existence of a genius had always stimulated educators’ desire to help in any way possible.

“I have a favor to ask you, instructor.”
