2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Episode 25. 6. Growth (3)

Kang's daily life has changed.

The magic department conducted daily Mana Room training after school, studying steadily according to the class program. At first I was embarrassed by the sudden pressure, but after a few repetitions, I was able to gradually adjust to the pressure in the first stage.

"Whoo, Whoo."

regular exhalation

As Mana managed Mana according to the rules of Mana Judgment, Mana, which had been rushing in like waves, quietly followed Kang Min-hyuk's will.

The time is about an hour.

The time was already over, as I got into a trance.

'It's already over.

I could feel Mana slipping out like a low tide.

As the blue-colored space changed to its original state, a dull gray wall peculiar to the warehouse room was visible.

"But my past helps."

the psychology of the guardian gate

Perhaps it is the study that Kang Min-hyuk has been working on the hardest in his life. In order to somehow achieve results with the method of judgment, Kang min-hyuk honed the method until the day he gave up the post of successor. That's why I could use the technique freely, which I didn't expect to be effective in learning magic.

Phase 1 is stable.

It was planning to maintain phase 1 for about 15 days from now on and then move on to phase 2 of output.

'If you run Manna Room training every day, you can raise the circle much faster than people say. That's how effective Mana room training is. Except for the fact that there is only one drawback.’

There are only advantages in training.

Although the training process is somewhat painful, it is tolerable enough to think of the effect gained by training.

The biggest problem is the same as in the world of Chris's own. It means that six advanced mana stones should be used for each training session. As six mana stones, which cost tens of millions of won each, were used as expendables, it was an emperor-style drill that cost more than 100 million won per session.

Kang Min-hyuk won the $300 million prize.

Since 10 percent of the total has been handed over to Lee Hak-beom, the remaining amount is about 300 billion won.

No matter how financially generous Kang Min-hyuk is, training of 100 million won per session is bound to be a burden in the long run.

but

'Fortunately I know the secret of the Red Mana Stone.’

It was really a stroke of luck.

I don't know if Cleeseman intended it, but the secret of the red Mana Stone has allowed Kang to save on spending on Mana Stone. Red Mana Stone is an item sold for 10,000 won to 10,000 won on the market. It is considered trash compared to blue mana stones, but there is still a fixed demand base as it contains mana.

It is important to secure a red mana stone.

The problem is, he is already exposed to magical learning.

'Maybe everything I do is more likely to be noticed. Buying a large amount of red Mana Stone in my name, people in the magic world would think that there might be a special reason for the red Mana Stone. Of course, with their technology, they can't find out the secrets of the Red Mana Stone yet, but the more people try to save the Red Mana Stone, the higher the market price will be.’

After all, he needs someone to take care of his work.

He has a heavy mouth and ability, and most importantly, he is someone he can trust completely.

Just in time, Kang Min-hyuk thought of one such person.

'Let's meet Ko Young-chul first.’

Ko Young Chul.

It was the name of the person who spent the days of his successor, who sank beyond the ritual.

***

The guardian gate is not a small group.

Around Gang Deok-cheol, the literary owner, there are many branches that form a huge group called Suho-mun.

These include the families of the family gods who had suffered together since the gate was first opened, and Jeong Pan-ho and other people vowed allegiance to the gate. Ko Young-chul, whom Kang Min-hyuk is about to meet, was also the son of a household god, just like Jeong Pan-su.

south of the black leopard rubber gin

Looking down at him with disheveled black hair and dark circles, Kang said bluntly.

"Is the promise you made before still valid?”

"What promise are you talking about?”

"You know what I'm talking about. For what I'm going to do in the future, I need your power.”

“·········.”

Ko Young-chul stared at Kang Min-hyuk.

Ko's father, Kim Gum-jin, is in charge of the intelligence unit within the gate.

It is known externally to handle the information of the guardian gate, but in reality it also deals with all kinds of dirty work.

A beast in the dark.

Therefore, Ko Yeong-cheol is the south side of Rubberjin called the Black Leopard.

Ko Young-chul has been trained by Rubber Jin since he was very young, which is why he is an elite when it comes to dark matter. In fact, there was a time when Ko was mentioned as the successor to Kim Moo-jin, but on the day Kang Min-hyuk gave up his position as successor, Ko also handed over the succession to his eldest son.

And now.

For Ko Young-chul, Kang Min-hyuk's story didn't sound pleasant.

"Yes, I made you an offer. If you're greedy for the post of heir, I'll help you somehow, even if I have to knock your father down. But you gave up. My friends and I said we'd support you to the end, but you said you couldn't handle the SUHO gate's successor. But why are you saying that now?”

The voice was cold.

With a sharp voice like a fierce cat, there was no excuse for Kang Min-hyuk.

Because it was true.

Like Ko, many people looked at Kang, but Kang came down from the post of successor.

"I know, I've broken your expectations. But the guardian gate is not mine. My father grew up, and my ancestors from the previous generation sweated blood to achieve what they are now. So I couldn't take the guardian gate entirely as mine. Because, at least as the successor to the inquest, I was certain I wasn't qualified. You know, in a world dominated by force, a powerless leader has no choice but to lose control. In a situation where I know that I have a better successor than myself, I couldn't break down the gate because of my greed.”

I spoke frankly.

Why I had to give up.

Looking at Ko Young-chul, who still shows signs of coldness, said Kang Min-hyuk.

"But it's different now. I want to create a force that I can take full responsibility for. Things like that won't be repeated. Even if I hit the limit, I won't back down this time. The Guardian Gate doesn't come from me, but everything I do now is something I have to take responsibility for."

The beginning was different.

a guardian gate

Kang Min-hyuk had only one thing to put forward before inheriting the huge civilization of Korea's four major powers.

So I hated it.

While the sons of household gods such as Ko Young-chul and Ha Min-sung have expressed their position to support Kang Min-hyuk, Kang rather gave up everything at a time when they showed their firm attitude. That much, the incident that Kang Min-hyuk went through was shocking. Kang Min-hyuk, who thought it was okay without talent, put everything down for the day's event.

Force

There was nothing most important for Kang Min-hyuk to become a housekeeper of the guardian gate.

"Ha."

Ko Young-chul sighed.

I must have been annoyed by this situation, so my hair was all messed up.

"A real dog."

I got a fever.

If he hadn't understood Kang's position, he wouldn't even be here now.

Everybody understands.

What was Kang Min-hyuk's idea, and because of Kang's choice, the Suho Gate moved on to a more correct path. Ko Young-chul also wanted to deny the fact, but in the end, it was right for Kang Min-hyuk to come down for the distant future.

It was miserable.

With his expression so distorted, he looked up at the blue sky.

"Just promise me one thing. You didn't ask me then, so I could accept your sacrifice for others. But from this moment you reach out to me, you can't give up on your own. Until you see the end, you have to try to break your body. Can you promise me this one?”

Ko Young-chul's eyes turned to Kang Min-hyuk.

He looks just like rubber.

Although he was a natural genius in information warfare, he declared that he would not work for the guardian gate unless he was Kang Min-hyuk.

So he turned the family upside down, and now he was looking at a new future.

"I promise."

Ko smiled.

appointment

How long have you waited to hear this answer?

The time I spent with Kang Min-hyuk was really fun, and that's why he vowed to use his talents for Kang Min-hyuk, not for his guardian gate.

He said so.

"Yes, then what should I do first?"

I can't stop now.

From this moment on, when Ko Young-chul is acquired, Kang Min-hyuk must also try to become the best.

"Once I'll give you the capital, make your own independent intelligence force. And get as much red mana as you can without people knowing. Well, it's the first thing I'd like to ask you."

"No."

Ko Young-chul turned over his disheveled hair.

From his face stained with shading, a sharp glance shone.

"Now we have to get things straight. I've received the captain's orders. I'll be faithful to my role, so if you're not going to break your promise with me, now be faithful to the role of captain. I think that's enough."

Ko Young Chul.

It was the moment when Kang Min-hyuk got a very good shadow.

***

Kang immediately gave Ko 10 billion won.

His work was expensive, but he wanted to show him that he was sincere.

However, Ko was not surprised by the money of 10 billion won.

He replied with a calm expression, as he looked at the information unit of the gate with millions of won.

"I'll live up to your expectations."

That was the end.

After breaking up with Ko, Kang hung on to training all day long.

Then suddenly I had a question.

'What level am I at now?'

To grasp one's own level.

It is very important in fighting.

As the saying goes, "Endless to say," there was a need to grasp his reality of one's own.

The problem was that the actual training conducted by the magic department could not meet Kang's wishes. I don't know if it's a joint training session with the fencing department later, but now most of the practice was like child pranks. Of course, the classmates trembled with that alone, but Kang was different from them.

So I thought of a new way.

'Dungeon hunting sounds good.’

There are currently two ways monsters appear.

Random gate where sudden cracks in space occur, and dungeon-type gate where the passage is open but the monster does not appear outside.

What Kang Min-hyuk chose was the latter.

Dungeon is usually graded through search, so if you secure the right to hunt, you can proceed with the hunt without difficulty.

The way to find a hunting ground is simple.

You can secure the right to hunt in the Hunter Association yourself, or you can join another party already authorized. In the case of Kang Min-hyuk, he checked the job openings on the Hunter website, which is officially run in Korea, because having a party rather than an electronic one can accurately check the wizard's ability.

There were many articles asking for party members.

However, if you enter the wizard into the search term, the number has been greatly reduced, and there was a noticeable article among them out.

[Look for a wizard to join a D-class dungeon party.]

[Currently, there are three party members, and we've been working together for a long time. Only two or more wizards are supported, and what we want from you is an auxiliary role. Instead of taking the initiative in dealing damage to monsters, you just have to balance the battle according to the situation. We plan to distribute the compensation in a 3:3:3:1 ratio, so if you are interested, we would appreciate it if you could contact us via the messenger written in the text.]

D-class dungeon.

It was a perfect environment to experiment with 2-circle magic.

And I liked the content of the job opening.

The writer knew how to make efficient use of wizards, and the distribution of rewards also followed industry standards. It is common for wizards to receive a ratio of 1. The story will be different from the wizard of more than four circles, but there seemed to be no big problem because the conditions for recruitment were specified as two circles.

Therefore, the conditions were not bad.

Kang immediately contacted the party leader, briefly confirming the conditions before setting the appointment time.

And the next day.

" "····혹혹혹혹혹혹?"?"?"?"?"?"

"Hello."

Kang Min-hyuk met with party members under an alias.

That was the beginning of Kang's first party hunt as a wizard.
