2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Ep.45. 12. The Magical Pioneer (2)

The presentation is over.

Marco Dawson, a member of the German Magic Association, left the auditorium and stared blankly up at the sky.

"The times have changed."

Kang Min-hyuk's presentation was real.

Kang Min-hyuk proved Mana Dong-hwa's theory in front of countless wizards, and when the presentation was all over, a fiery baptism of applause broke out. I had no choice but to admit. Kang Min-hyuk, who is only 17 years old, proved Mana's secret that no one has revealed for 100 years. Some suspected cases tried to catch the pod somehow, but the solid theory did not allow for a little loophole.

It was perfect.

At the sight of Kang Min-hyuk speaking his mind with conviction, Marco Dawson was horrified at the moment.

'It looked like a magic god.’

"...Kang Min-hyuk, he's such a scary guy."

"Kang Min-hyuk?"

Marco Dawson's murmur interrupted his pupil Kevin Wright, who followed his trip to Korea.

"Although Kang Min-hyuk's talent is frighteningly great, I think he is a true wizard. Double casting, magic form changes, and mana fairy tales are all great discoveries to mark a milestone in the world of magic science, and they're not exclusive, but made public to people. Your direction is the revival of the magical academic world. Isn't it amazing?”

There was a lot of talk.

It's not wrong.

Kang's choice deserves respect, but Marco Dawson's years of life don't take facts as they are.

"That's why it's scarier.”

"Why?"

"Just after Kang Min-hyuk's presentation at the Magic Academic Conference, he declared that he would stay in the magic department for a year, creating a cause to reject suggestions from those who wanted him. So was our German Magic Association. Kang Min-hyuk is greedy and can't be treated carelessly, but I'm not sure he'll come to us either."

Marco Dawson.

He is one of the most active players in recruiting Kang.

Therefore, Kang Min-hyuk's thoughts were seen a little.

"But today I've shown you a free presentation of Mana Fairy Tales for free. Everyone was enthusiastic about every word Kang Min-hyuk said. I understand. That's how much fairy tales are a discovery. The problem is that the people who attended this presentation are all well-known figures in the magical academic world. Do you know what this means?”

"...I don't know."

"I'm saying that Kang Min-hyuk's remarks gave me strength in the magical world. When he asks us to come, we have to go, and if there's anything he wants, we have no choice but to listen. Why? Because he has a very attractive 'knowledge' that we can't ignore. If you don't want to be left behind in the times, you have no choice but to cooperate with Kang Min-

in a fit of anger

Caused the element of fire.

He lit a cigarette in his mouth and sucked smoke deep into his lungs.

"Ha."

Cigarettes used.

To recruit Kang Min-hyuk, I felt that he was becoming a big shot faster than I thought.

"Kang Min-hyuk said he would treat his knowledge as a public good at no cost. Now that we recognize that it's a goose that lays golden eggs, people in the magical academic world can never harm Kang Min-hyuk. It'll be a disaster. A great scholar appeared, and hurting him would be infuriating to wizards who crave knowledge. At least as long as Kang Min-hyuk is not included in a particular force, Kang Min-hyuk becomes a sanctuary that no one can touch. That's the problem. Being in a position that no one can touch."

It was very ambiguous.

Kang Min-hyuk's personal power is not great, but the power struggle centered on him gave him strength.

Marco Dawson's eyes were on Kevin Wright.

"Do you think Kang Min-hyuk is just a 17-year-old child?"

".........."

I couldn't answer.

Kang Min-hyuk was still young, but his presentation and move were far from the age of 17.

"From today, Kang Min-hyuk has become an absolute power and a magic pioneer. So it's going to change. There will be a lot of changes depending on how good the World Federation of Magic and the minority of power has to do with an individual. Isn't that funny? A hundred years of magical history, to face such a momentous change?"

Marco Dawson giggled.

Slightly absent-minded, he said, throwing his cigarette on the floor.

"Forget your pride from now on. We don't go against Kang Min-hyuk's spirit, we have to stay by his side."

The presentation was great.

With a brilliant spotlight on him, Kang Min-hyuk came off the stage.

Behind the stage.

There was Lee Hak-beom.

While rejoicing at the success of Mana Tales, there was a certain shadow on his face.

"What a great presentation. We, or you, caused a tremendous stir in the magical academic world."

You

The word smeared with bitterness.

Lee Hak-bum received data from Kang Min-hyuk from Mana Donghwa and made a tremendous effort. Lee Hak-beom as a scholar. I don't know as a leader, but at least scholar Lee Hak-bum was a man of great passion and effort.

But

"Now that I've been studying magic, I know. I coordinate the details of the study, but the fact that it comes from you in the end. So it's very bitter. Even if I am replaced by someone else, great research, including Mana fairy tales, will be completed successfully in the future. But if Minhyuk were replaced by someone else, I wouldn't be able to do anything just like I used to."

Behind the spectacular stage.

There, Lee Hak-bum fell into a sense of shame.

I don't know if I played a great role in this research, but I was just putting a spoon on the table.

It was miserable.

The fact that it was not helpful, gave me an unbearable sense of shame.

"I won't deny it. I have provided the crucial data for the research, but I need Professor Lee Hak-beom to continue my research."

"...why do you need me? Even if it wasn't me, there would be a lot of people who would help you with your research."

"Professor Lee Hak-beom. Don't underestimate yourself."

Countless professors.

Among them, Kang chose Lee Hak-bum.

Why?

Because he's a great scholar?

No.

Desire and effort are great, but Lee Hak-bum has not produced any significant results.

There were many similar or high-level scholars, but Kang wanted a man named Lee Hak-beom.

"I think Professor Lee Hak-beom is a person who sincerely hopes for the revival of the magic world. So he ended his life as a tower with guaranteed wealth and fame and joined the magic department. He trained his juniors to conduct research that would help the magical academic world. I fell in love with Professor Lee Hak-beom. It doesn't matter who led the research. It's the result of my work with Professor Lee Hak-beom, and I think his pure passion will boost the net function of the tower in the future."

It is not simply a force for 'power'.

Kang always gives the right answer, and he doesn't want a picture of people taking knowledge like a baby bird.

In the end, you need the power to do it yourself.

Lee Hak-beom will be the driving force of that power, and those belonging to Kang Min-hyuk's tower will develop their own knowledge and Lee Hak-beom's enthusiasm. That was the ideal tower that Kang Min-hyuk wanted. This is why Lee Hak-beom's reputation is not needed anymore, but he does so until the end.

A distant future.

To drive monsters out of this world, Kang Min-hyuk wanted to build a solid foundation.

".........."

Lee Hak-beom's eyes shook.

What you really want.

Was it a great achievement in research, or the resulting revival of the magical academic world?

It's the latter.

In a world where magic is ignored, Lee Hak-bum hoped his strength would help, though not big.

A smile came out.

Although it is virtually no help to the research, I was shaken by the news that Kang wanted a person named himself.

That's enough.

Kang Min-hyuk is a man who will revive the magical academic world, and he will help him.

The way they look is the same.

That alone was enough reason to work for Kang.

"Thank you very much for saying that. And I look forward to working with you."

Lee Hak-bum.

A man who will later be called the godfather of magic academia.

He was so ripe by Kang Min-hyuk's side.

after the Battle of Mercury

Kang's status in the magic department has changed.

The joint class is famous for lowering the self-esteem of magic students, and Kang has rather become the main character.

"Have you seen the pre-Susung video?”

"Kang Min-hyuk was awesome."

"Kang Min-hyuk is a magic genius. You've already formed three circles and developed a Mana fairy tale. In fact, at first I thought Kang Min-hyuk had entered an escape school, but now I'm so ashamed of myself for thinking negatively of him."

Mana fairy tale.

Unveiling great knowledge at no cost, the students of the magic department changed their view of Kang Min-hyuk.

the beginning of the semester

Kang Min-hyuk was an ugly duckling who couldn't belong to both sides.

But now he has become an idol of the magic department.

Contrary to such recognition in the magic department, the atmosphere of the sword department was strangely flowing.

"I've never lost my spotlight to a magic department in the history of swordsmanship. This is the humiliation of the sword department, and we must make up for it. So in the final 'life-and-death duel,' let's show the magic guys the potential of the sword department."

It's a word that's spreading in the fencing department.

They hurt their pride.

Not once, but twice, Kang Min-hyuk lost the honor of winning first place.

Of course, the first-place group included Lee Jang-hoo's party, but everyone knows they are not the main characters.

So the fencing students were eager for the final life-and-death duel. A life-and-death duel is a stage where students from both sides compete. I don't know which student will be selected as Kang's opponent, but no matter how many three-circle wizards I had intended to lose to the wizard, no, that would never happen.

Ganghwa warriors and wizards.

Isn't it too obvious who's strong against one-on-one?

Last joint class.

If Suseongjeon was a stage for a wizard, a life-or-death duel would be a one-sided advantage for Ganghwa warriors.

Kang Min-hyuk is also well aware of the fact.

With rumors rising around him, Kang's nerves have also become sensitive.

'Can I beat the Ganghwa warriors?’

I'm not sure.

If he holds the sword, he might have a chance of winning, but as a magician, Kang Min-hyuk still lacks a lot.

but

'So you have to win more. Possibility as a wizard. If you lose to a freshman in the fencing department after receiving the privilege of knowing only Chris, you will always be the underdog in dealing with a Ganghwa warrior.’

The drive was aflame.

Kang hoped that this opportunity would be an opportunity to prove his potential.

A few days later.

The day of the life-and-death duel, which everyone had been waiting for, dawned.
