Chapter 6 – Concept Roleplayer (1)

Mana.

An infinite resource that makes up this world, and a power source utilized in almost every category that humans could imagine.

Among them, the beings most familiar with Mana were, of course, wizards.

Wizards on the battlefield lit flames and called lightning, and in times of peace they brought great convenience to the daily life of the kingdom.

In fact, many wizards focused on research for use in real life instead of standing on the battlefield.

But unlike those wizards.

We were the sword and shield of the kingdom. Always keep in mind that powerful force was the easiest way to give peace to His Majesty the King and the people of the kingdom.”

The knights’ utility was only demonstrated on the battlefield.

Because the knight’s duty was to lead the soldiers at the forefront of the battlefield and escort the wizards from the enemy’s strike force attacking the rear.

Of course, the reason knights could perform such missions was because they could utilize mana.

and.

Henry Camilton, who had not shown any talent until a day ago, came to his senses.

“……?”

My mind was still blank.

The sound of birds was coming to my ears.

Where were you now, what time was it, what were you doing?

After thinking blankly for a moment longer, Henry finally realized.

“It’s morning.”

I remembered.

I returned from the training ground to my dilapidated lodgings, and after returning, I was busy trying to accumulate mana.

“It was like this. Holding a broom.”

A faint laugh escaped.

‘Have you ever been so deeply immersed as today?’

I thought about it, but definitely not.

Even when swinging a sword, I never lost consciousness for hours.

‘So the outcome of immersion is… … Ha?’

It’s like I was struck by lightning.

Henry froze.

“this……?”

My right hand touched my chest.

However, it was not something that could be confirmed in that way.

“Mana!”

I was just so surprised.

It was just an unconscious movement.

“Stacked up? Really? Mana?”

As I concentrated, I felt more clearly.

Around the beating heart.

Managa had ‘established itself’, albeit vaguely.

“…It wasn’t a dream!”

I ended up saying something stupid.

However, anyone would had had no choice but to did that.

As soon as I came to my senses, everything that had happened felt like a dream.

Wizard? broadcast?

All of those things may had been a fleeting dream created by one’s own aspirations.

It was a habit created by three years of frustration.

But today was different.

“I really, really accumulated mana. Oh my… haha. How on earth… was it such a simple thing?”

All kinds of emotions rushed through me like a typhoon.

Admiration, emotion, bewilderment, and.

“No, this is not the time.”

Henry hurriedly sat down.

I forced my boiling emotions to calm down.

It wasn’t easy, but calming down one’s emotions was Henry’s specialty.

Now you had accumulated mana. What next? I guess I should use that mana. You’ve probably seen it countless times already. “The sight of a knight going into battle with his weapons and armor covered in mana.”

Instructor Pike’s voice rang in my head.

A voice I had memorized over and over again.

Henry thought back to that voice that had no meaning at the time.

Of course, this was not a technology that you could copy today. I wouldn’t even dare to imitate it. However, even if you had less mana than them, you could produce equivalent output.”

“The key is the quality of the passage. A passage may sound vague, but it is not that difficult. You can think of blood vessels. First, try moving the mana of your heart.”

Just a few hours of concentration.

The result was mana accumulated in the heart.

This meant that the breathing techniques I had learned in class and the ‘sensitivity’ that the wizards had given me as a gift had worked.

then.

‘We need to clear a path.’

The order was to open a path for mana to travel through the body.

It would be difficult. Because there was no way. Right now your heart was acting as a vessel for mana, but that’s all it was for now.”

“Draw a path in your head. The key in this process is also your concentration. The goal of this class is to draw a path from the heart to the hand holding the sword.”

Draw the path.

Those vague details were Instructor Pike’s instructions.

The only clue was to draw a mental image with sharply focused consciousness.

but.

‘It doesn’t work.’

It wasn’t easy.

When I was taking Pike’s class.

In the third class, the first trainee succeeded, and in the seventh class, half of the students succeeded.

It was in the twelfth class that everyone succeeded.

Except Henry Camilton.

‘I don’t have any expectations this time either.’

Henry thought calmly.

Whether it took a few days or months.

I was confident that I wouldn’t mind as long as I could achieve it within this year.

‘Because I have no talent. It would be difficult to forget that fact.’

My excitement over the sudden good fortune completely calmed down.

It completely killed even the slightest expectation.

I engraved the thought in my head that I would continue to did this until I achieved it.

Because that was the reason Henry Camilton was able to endure until now.

‘Thanks to the wizards, I gained sensitivity, but I shouldn’t expect this. ‘Only if I show something will they find a reason to invest.’

Then, the remaining answer was obvious.

effort.

As always, we had no choice but to keep working hard.

‘Let’s try.’

I closed my eyes. All senses were focused on the heart. The sounds I heard became faint, and the light beyond my closed eyelids also dimmed.

Move mana.

Only one thought filled Henry’s thoughts.

Time passed little by little.

Thirty minutes.

One hour.

And at some point.

Tiring!

Henry trembled at the sudden sound.

“……?”

The deep immersion was broken.

Should I call it fortunate or unfortunate?

There was no regret because there was no result at all.

[Broadcasting resumes!]

“Ah.”

This was the identity of the sound.

The Grand Wizard was interested in Henry again today.

“hello.”

There were 0 viewers, but the Grand Wizard who hosted this broadcast must had been watching him.

I greeted him politely and waited for a while.

However, no wizard came in.

‘Because it’s still morning. A wizard’s and a knight’s day will be different from the beginning.’

Henry lifted his hips without any hesitation.

6 AM.

It was time to leave the accommodation, which meant that I could use the mana training room.

‘Let’s try again.’

A place where I completely stopped walking at some point.

However, today felt a little different.

***

There were two types of educators at Vallaran Royal Academy.

There were ‘instructors’ in charge of ‘armed forces’ such as various weapon techniques and horseback riding, and there were ‘professors’ in charge of other things.

Management of major facilities within the academy was also the responsibility of professors.

And the Mana Training Room.

Professor Minerva, who was in charge of managing the situation, frowned at the sudden visit of a guest.

“It’s Henry. What’s going on?”

Henry Camilton.

No matter how far Minerva was from the sword, there’s no way she hasn’t heard stories about Henry.

Rumor had it that this year was the last chance for a trainee who completely lacks the talent for mana.

“I came to use the training room.”

“Oh, I guess so. You can come in.”

That’s why I asked questions that other trainees would not had asked.

‘Me too. Of course, the purpose of the visit was to do mana training.’

The purpose of visiting the training room was, of course, to practice mana.

Minerva felt that Henry looked somewhat depressed.

‘They work so hard. Even God sometimes seems to do too much.’

Just as I heard rumors that I had no talent, I also heard rumors that I worked hard.

But Minerva’s interest stopped there.

It was beyond her ability anyway, and she only regarded it as a matter of gossip.

My dry gaze returned to the cheap magazine I had been reading just a moment ago.

And Henry.

‘Good, it’s quiet.’

Anyway, I was satisfied with the fact that the training room was quiet.

When the semester was in full swing, there was no space to even step into the Mana training room.

Because everyone came and went here harder than anyone else in order to increase their mana even a little.

What if the mana amount increases even a little?

This was because your performance on the next test would improve immediately.

Students from Class C, which did not had a dedicated training room, would come here every day to accumulate mana.

‘The wizards still haven’t come. good. ‘Let’s get started.’

Henry sat down.

The surrounding area was entirely filled with white.

Completely disconnected from the outside world and unable to hear any sound, it was truly the perfect place to concentrate on something.

‘It’s definitely different.’

I could tell from the moment I walked in.

Because the difference between Henry’s lodgings and the mana here was clear.

Not only the quality but also the density was amazing.

I think it would be at least ten times, no, twenty times more.

‘It would be more efficient than building it up overnight. ‘I have to spend the day here.’

This was the moment when the day’s schedule was decided.

But then.

[‘Kingarosh’ entered]

[LOL You really turned on like a sword at 6 o’clock]

The wizard entered. I remembered that name. He was a person who argued and argued with wizards from other schools.

“Hello, Wizard King’aroosh. I see you’re up early.”

[ㅋHaha, I have to go to work~]

[But you were doing it alone haha ​​Are you recording?]

“Recording… I’m sorry. I’m not sure.”

[The concept is solid~~]

[I’ll get ready for work first haha]

I’m going to work.

It was an awkward expression.

This probably means going to the magic tower’s laboratory.

And one after another.

[‘Dreggy’ entered.]

[‘tlsql1234’ entered.]

The wizards flocked in as if they had made an appointment.

[Giha~(meaning knight hai)]

[I never thought you would turn it on right away in the morning!]

“Hello.”

[It’s not common to go live at 6 in the morning haha. Are you doing it until evening today as well?]

“Yes, I think so. But it’s hard to say for sure because it doesn’t work out the way I want.”

[That’s right lol What can I do if my body doesn’t obey me??]

[I’ll take a shower!]

[I’m ready to go to work too haha ​​I’m so tired]

The conversation stopped again.

‘It seems like wizards live a more regular life than I thought.’

Maybe it varies from case to case, but this was quite unexpected.

‘But what should I do with this?’

Henry thought for a moment.

Judging from yesterday’s experience, once you start focusing on mana, you won’t even know what’s going on around you.

However, right away, three wizards came to visit.

‘Fortunately, I seemed to enjoy the sword training, but I don’t know what the mana training will be like. ‘Because it’s something they do every day.’

Henry also knew.

The fact that something that could not had been accomplished even after investing years of effort on one’s own was solved simply with the help of wizards.

Of course, it was important to accumulate mana right away.

But pleasing these wizards was more important than anything else.

‘What should I do?’

The wizards gave Henry the gift of sensitivity.

It was right to train here to utilize the power of sensitivity, but what if you could receive such a gift again?

‘It would be right to build more sensitivity. That sensitivity was related to subscription. ‘For each subscription, sensitivity increases by 1.’

My mind was complicated.

It’s easy to prioritize things you’ve already experienced.

But broadcasting was very unfamiliar to Henry, and the ‘opportunity’ that someone had given him was also very unfamiliar to Henry.

‘But is there any way I can please these wizards? First of all, it’s a situation where you don’t even know what you want.’

Also, when faced with an unfamiliar situation like Henry, how many people could navigate it skillfully?

At least what Henry could be sure of was that this process of worrying would not be a very interesting spectacle.

‘After all, it would be better to train your body, right? Wizards also want something new rather than something familiar. ‘I’ll have to ask first.’

These wizards were people Henry had no experience with, and as such, it would be less risky to check with their doctor first.

“I…….”

The moment Henry was about to say something.

Suddenly.

The training room door opened.

“Huh? Who is this?”

“……hello.”

It was an uninvited guest.

Instructor Pike.

The man teaching the course ‘Training and Utilization of Mana’ was looking down at Henry with a funny look in his eyes.
