Chapter 2 – Subscription (1)

The 8th training hall of the Vallaran Royal Knight Academy.

This place, which was usually crowded with trainees training, was quiet today.

It was the start of a short one-week vacation.

Of course, officially it started tomorrow, but in fact, trainees were released from training from the moment they finished today’s class.

But only one.

Henry Camilton was standing alone in the training ground, rechecking the situation that had just happened.

“Are you saying what I do is broadcasting?”

[Is that so?? The concept is so funny, really haha]

“You said broadcasting is something where anyone can watch me, right?”

[Yes haha]

“Even if you’re not a wizard?”

[That’s right~!~!~!]

[Anyone can come as long as they know how to use a computer lol]

The second wizard, ‘Kimbab Heaven Long Live’, was unusually kind for a wizard.

Thanks to this, Henry was able to roughly understand what was happening.

‘I am broadcasting now. A viewer is someone who watches the broadcast, and a viewer does not necessarily have to be a wizard.’

The wizard who was a ‘viewer’ explained it that way.

‘The people around you can also see what the wizard is watching. You can even have a conversation like you do now.’

I thought I had a general idea.

A certain wizard among wizards took interest in Henry.

That was why we had created a communication channel called ‘broadcasting’, and other magicians could use that channel.

“Thank you for your kind words. It helped me understand the situation.”

[No, it’s going to turn, really haha. I guess I figured something out~~!!]

“…That was a presumptuous expression. I was finally able to guess what happened. Thank you again.”

That’s right!

It was a mistake to dare to say that I ‘understood’ the wizard’s thoughts.

As the wizard became quiet, Henry became anxious for some reason.

The conversation stopped for a moment, and then he said, ‘Long live Kimbap Heaven.’

[lol Then at the end, I ask for subscriptions and likes~~~ Is this going to happen??]

“What are subscriptions and likes?”

[No~~!!!]

[Oh, I don’t know haha]

Now even Henry knew that that expression meant ‘laughter.’

‘What’s so funny?’

[‘Long Live Kimbab Heaven’ has left the show.]

[Current viewers: 0]

I guess it was a joke.

Henry was not disappointed.

In the first place, the opponent was a wizard. Because I didn’t even expect to be able to had an easy conversation.

‘Still, this wizard was kind.’

Thanks to you, I was able to learn a lot.

No, based on the wizard’s reaction, I understood it roughly.

Of course, what Henry knows was only the tip of the iceberg, but wasn’t it possible to guess why this situation happened?

‘Aren’t there any more coming in?’

Henry, who had been crouching and watching the ‘broadcast screen’ for a while, stood up.

I thought a third wizard might come, but interest seemed to had cooled.

‘Let’s not be swayed.’

To be honest, it was true that I had some expectations.

Unlike knights who ‘use’ mana like a tool, they were beings that ‘work with’ mana.

‘At least it will be interesting. Was it just a way to kill time?’

Henry knew his position well.

See yourself reflected in the eyes of an outstanding wizard.

Isn’t there something like that in the chivalry that Henry learned?

You shouldn’t hope for a fluke.

‘I’m not trying to be chivalrous, but… … Damn you kids. ‘What do you think of people?’

The hand holding the wooden sword tightened.

It was obvious how a untalented trainee could relieve his frustration.

***

The wooden sword split the air. There was no end to sword training.

When I competed with pure swordsmanship, I was confident that I would not lose to any student here, but that meant nothing.

“Are you going to ask me that in real life too? Let’s compete fairly with swordsmanship without using mana!”

That’s what Instructor Pike said.

With that one word, the training hall burst into laughter.

Henry, who was a first year student, clashed swords with his opponent with a heated face, and the result was obvious.

‘That was correct. ‘I’m sure he didn’t say it for me.’

Even though I may not be able to handle mana, I am the best at swordsmanship as a knight.

Henry Camilton the year he entered school was a child with childish thoughts.

The years had passed.

His lively personality remained the same, but that was only when he was alone and thinking.

Henry was extremely calm in the eyes of others.

My confidence collapsed miserably. I was barely able to maintain my self-esteem as a knight-in-training.

By working hard, I managed to not give up.

The tip of the sword gradually became sharper.

I hoped that maybe this alone would be enough to bridge the gap called Mana, but my expectations were always dashed.

“Today… is particularly difficult.”

The thoughts never stopped. Just when he thought he was clean, it suddenly came back and bothered Henry.

Carefully collecting the wooden swords from the training ground, Henry headed to the training ground.

There were no students here either.

I liked the quiet, attention-free atmosphere.

Still wearing the sandbag, Henry started running.

‘It’s a bit better.’

In addition to swordsmanship, he also did not neglect physical training.

Now, no matter how much I run on flat ground, I don’t get tired.

Of course, he didn’t help much with his fighting skills as a knight, but if even he wasn’t outstanding, Henry would had no place here.

“good.”

Run, run.

The wind was cool thanks to the sweat that had formed.

No more random thoughts came to mind. There’s nothing better than moving your body to clear your head.

And because of that.

[‘Special Sword Dancer’ has entered.]

[‘Are you ready yet’ has entered.]

[Is this an exercise game??]

[????]

[‘Serious Sword Dancer’ has left.]

[‘A Letter from One’ has entered.]

[????? What is this person doing??]

Henry didn’t even feel what was happening around him.

Viewers came and went repeatedly.

And how long had it been?

“Whoop. Whoo.”

When he stopped and realized it was getting dark, Henry was able to see what was happening.

[Wow hahaha finally stopped haha]

[Exercise is too hard??]

[Is this the slow content?? That’s it, right??]

[Slow content hahaha]

[Exercise boasts are coming ㄹㅇ]

“……?”

The conversation was continuing quickly.

[Current viewers: 7]

As many as 7 viewers were watching him.

‘When?’

I thought interest had cooled.

Maybe this was what they wanted.

‘Did you leave because you didn’t show yourself practicing? Ah, maybe it was the question of what the magic path was… … ?’

A ghost was roughly put together in my head.

The question of what the magic path was.

Perhaps the answer the wizard wanted was something that was seen as actions rather than clumsy words.

“hello.”

[Finally speaking haha]

[Jonber wins!!]

[ㅋWhat game is this? Did you exercise??]

[ㄹㅇ Looking at things like this, it seems like exercise is done in VR]

[Is this person talking about this??]

The response was explosive. Henry had a feeling that his thoughts from a moment ago were correct.

“Exercise… Yes, I was training physically.”

[Wow, it was real haha]

[What is the name of the game? This is my first time seeing you.]

[How much weight have you lost?]

Game. I still haven’t figured out exactly what that expression means.

“If you’re talking about flab, I haven’t gained it once since I entered the academy. And the expression ‘game’ is….”

[Academy?? Is that the name of the game??]

[How long have you been playing this?]

“This is the Vallaran Royal Knight Academy. It’s been 3 years since I enrolled.”

[Pyappya… … Did you work every day for 3 years??]

[What is Balala? This is my first time hearing this?? Is it Club Vee??]

[haha I like the concept]

I had no idea. Henry was so confused that he closed his mouth for a moment.

‘Was the wizard this talkative?’

I’ve never seen it, so I don’t know.

But there were 7 people.

This was an encouraging situation.

Wizards were treated as precious just for their existence, and great wizards were people that other countries were anxious to welcome.

Because wizards were the race that stayed in the magic tower and studied magic over and over again.

The easiest way to move them would be to give them the gift of magical curiosity.

‘No way?’

A light flashed on in my head.

‘Is that why you were interested in me?’

A body that could not hold even a single ounce of mana.

Henry himself had talents that were worse than those of ordinary people.

It would be valuable as a research subject.

‘It’s possible. It’s quite possible. There is value beyond mere entertainment.’

To be honest, I didn’t feel good.

But it was also true that hope arose.

[Did I just stop the screen??]

[It didn’t stop]

[I thought it stopped because it was dark lol Hey~~~]

If these wizards were interested as subjects of research, wouldn’t there be a possibility that they would try to find a way for Henry to gain power?

It would be much more likely than Henry whining alone.

“……Wizards.”

[How unexpected lol]

[what? What are you implying?]

[Are you implying that we are all Mosuls until we turn 30?]

[Was it ‘that’ wizard? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

To the ‘viewers’ who burst into laughter again, Henry threw a fastball without any hesitation.

“What do you want from me?”

***

The academy was dark after sunset.

The parade ground too.

Since there was no special request for use, only a dim magic light was shining weakly.

Among them, Henry Camilton was seriously recounting his past history.

“Viscount Camilton was not always in this position. Until the time of my grandfather, he had established his own position within the royal family….”

If anyone had seen it, they would had laughed at Henry Camilton as if he had lost his mind. But Henry was serious.

Past as a fallen nobleman.

Among the admission requirements, sufficient talent was not found, and honor as a nobleman was also lacking.

Henry’s father, Viscount Camilton, managed to get Henry enrolled after scrounging up all of the family’s remaining assets.

“……Three years have passed like this. I will have to leave here in a year. If I still don’t feel Mana by then.”

[No, you memorized the entire background story haha]

[ㄹㅇ Respect haha ​​Are you a developer by any chance?? Is this a promotional broadcast?]

[So that means it’s a tutorial, right?]

“I’m Henry Camilton, a knight-in-training, and I’m not sure what a tutorial is. I’m sorry.”

[hahahahaha]

[Ah, the concept is really solid hahaha]

[He’s almost an iron man, really hahaha]

[But the game looks fun;; I’m crazy about academy stuff, but this comes out haha]

As expected, the wizard’s language was difficult.

Henry watched the words coming up in a daze, unable to understand anything at all.

“Excuse me, but can you tell me what the ‘concept’ is?”

[Concept? LOL]

[LOL, you are a knight, right??]

“I am a trainee knight.”

[That’s the concept hahaha knight trainee concept hahahahaha]

That’s right!

Henry understood immediately.

The concept was status or location. In other words, it means the person’s position at that moment.

“Now I understand. I have the concept of a knight trainee. Oh, I have the concept of a knight trainee. My goal is to get the concept of a formal knight.”

Henry also had that level of application.

‘I said the concept was to ‘grab’.’

I guessed that it was probably the expression of magicians, and it was correct.

[Now you’re admitting it haha]

[Oh, I feel so relieved haha]

[What time are you broadcasting today?]

“I don’t know. Until the wizard who opened this to me cancels it….”

[LOL It’s confirmed to be an all-night broadcast~~]

[What are we going to do with the content now??]

“The content… I’m sorry. That expression isn’t easy for me to understand either.”

[Ah, this is real recognition. I have no choice but to admit it.]

What did you mean by admitting it?

Maybe I liked the honesty.

And the next moment.

[‘One Bite’ has subscribed to the channel!]

Following the content that I still didn’t understand.

“Subscription is also… vain?”

A change came to Henry’s body.
