Main Character Hides His Strength

The outside of the book was ordinary, but when I opened it, the magical mystery hidden inside was revealed at a glance.

Illustrations painted with black ink moved alive.

The illustrations described on the first page repeatedly demonstrated trajectories where disorderly listed shapes, lines, and points were completed in regular form in irregular form.

The final shape was shaped like a magic circle.

The description at the bottom of the first page contained the following:

[Knowing certain magic means that you understand all the components that make up the whole, not the blurry drawing of the whole form.]

After one illustration, there was a blank sheet asking if you understood the illustration correctly.

The blank paper, like the illustration, had magical powers that could be filled or erased by Kim Sung-cheol's gestures or strong thoughts.

At first, Kim Sung-cheol was amazed at unfamiliar books and their demands, but soon he became interested in solving problems.

Kim Sung-cheol focused on carefully observing the repetitive movements of changing illustrations and understanding what logic they consisted of.

After a while, he drew what he understood through his imagination on a blank sheet.

The results were immediately visible.

[Excellent! You have successfully solved the first problem of Understanding the Wizards (Beginner).]

Reward: Intuition +1

Just a simple problem solving raises one's intuition.

After handing over the last bookshelf and confirming that there are 51 problems in the book, Kim solved the following problems step by step.

When he had solved problem 13 times, Kim Sung-cheol noticed that the surrounding synagogue had been immersed in darkness through a myriad of windows on the ceiling.

Leonard Bottom, who was lying nicely when he sold on the hammock, also seems to have left the synagogue while solving the problem.

‘We're running out of time. ’

However, I increased my intuition by 5 in a day.

Just solving problems.

When I solved a problem that I wanted to say was a little difficult, my intuition increased.

I'd like to solve a few more problems on my own, but I've decided to meet with Christian Ashford tonight.

Kim Sung-cheol placed a bookmark on a page that has been unfolded to date and returned it to Artuzius.

“I have business to attend to. I'll return the book, so I'll come back tomorrow. ”

“ ……. ”

Altuzius looked at Sung-cheol Kim with an unfaithful face and reached out his hand and received a book.

While Sung-cheol Kim was baptizing and walking towards the exit, the old wizard opened the book and swiped the bookmarked spot Kim Sung-cheol.

A curiosity comes to mind in the eyes of Altuzius.

“There.”

He just called up Sung-cheol Kim to open the door.

As Sung-cheol Kim looked back, Altuzius said in a loud voice with a thick, thick tone.

“Are you sure you've solved this far? ”

Altuzius spread out the page that Kim Sung-cheol last saw and pointed with his fingers.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded lightly.

“Is there a problem? ”

“No, it's fine. ”

Artuzius closes the book and sits down.

When the old man was silent, Kim Sung-cheol opened the door and walked toward the outside where the ground spider began to lose.

The old man who consistently had a cold reaction, however, when the door closed, he looked at the page marked by Kim Sung-cheol, expressing an unbelievable expression with a light close to his eyes.

A freshman solved problem number 13 in half a day? Unbelievable. Isn't this a gift I haven't seen in a hundred years? ’

It's better to think of it as more of an experience than a talent.

Before Kim Sung-cheol had yet to gain transcendent power, he played a life-threatening battle with the corrupt wizards.

The urgent moments of life and death repeated countless times, and Kim Sung-cheol raised a sense of dealing with magic through direct experience.

At some point, he saw the sudden blink of a wizard when he was young, i.e., the shape of a sorcerer, and learned how to predict roughly what magic the opponent would use.

At first, he almost lost his life because he had eaten and had mispredicted magic, but his accumulated experience made him increasingly perfect.

Kim Sung-cheol anticipated his magic and acted first to defeat a more famous enemy than himself, even before he met Balzac, the leader and soul eater of the infamous disaster.

For Sung-cheol Kim, who sees only the image of a wizard who destroys in less than 0.1 seconds and expects its meaning in an instant, Altuzius' book was only an easy rite of passage.

“Hmmm…”

Altuzius has connected to a magical network across the Airfurt School of Wizardry.

What he was looking for was information about an unknown student who had just surprised himself.

At first, he was surprised by the name of the student and surprised again by the name of the dormitory assigned to him.

“What...? You've been assigned to the Coffin of the Congress? It can't be... It can't be...! ”

In the two shocking facts, the latter shook Artuzius even more.

The old man's eyelids tremble.

He immediately pulled his staff out of the air and tapped the ground.

The magical lift that stopped it resumed, emitting a mysterious light, and the old wizard took the lift down the cliff and immediately headed for the sarcophagus coffin.

“Sarah. Sarah! ”

Immediately after opening the door of the tightly closed grim dormitory, the old wizard called out the girl's name in an urgent voice.

The blonde girl appeared beyond the hallway like a ghost.

The old man approaches the girl, grabbing her hand with both hands and carefully bites.

“Sarah, what's... going on? ”

The blonde girl looked at the urgently buried old man's face, then sprayed her hands and said with a look of embarrassment.

“Huh? What a bunch of nonsense. There's no way this is gonna happen. ”

The girl who was looking at the old man with a somewhat hollow face suddenly remembered something and said again.

“Oh, there's a strange one here. Old Jogbat named this place. I tried to scare him away, but he's a Summoner, so it doesn't work. ”

“I see. Sarah. But I'm worried. I was wondering if he might be causing any trouble for our Sarah...”

Altuzius once again looks at Sarah with a worried look on his face.

Sarah continued to look at the old man with annoying eyes.

“What's the big deal? I'm the best holiday student in the school. I don't know if it's real, but I'm Richie for starters, right? ”

Immediately, a bright blue light appeared in the girl's eyes and the air around her was frozen solid.

“Th-that's right. ”

Regrets are in the eyes of the old man.

I woke up with my head worried that too much worry might have sold the girl's wound.

Sarah stared at the old man and grabbed the old man's hand on the staff with both hands.

“Don't worry about me. Grandpa, it's not me you have to worry about, it's you. ”

The girl's hands are as cold as her breath.

“It's not too late now. I think it would be wise to leave Airfurt and go to Logote. ”

The reunion with Christian made the funnel even better.

In particular, he was replacing his traditional hand with an arm that was shaped like a man's hand instead of a crude wooden arm that was closer to the shape of claws.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth carelessly watching Christian manipulate a new prosthetic to hold a glass.

“Isn't the situation in Airfurt great? ”

“Yes. After the death of the former principal, Magnus, the principal's seat remains open for three years. There have been a few campaigns in the faculty to honor the new principal, but the main faction, the Ice Creek and the Flame Faction, have ended many times, and the school has fallen into hell. And now that even the followers of the disaster have emerged from the overwhelming... we must consider the fate of Airfurt to be over. ”

Christian bowed his head and politely apologized to Kim Sung-cheol for his misjudgement.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't have much of a reaction.

There was one thing he was interested in.

“How much can you get from Airfurt? How much can you get from Logote? ”

Christian replied as if he had waited.

“Logote is an emerging prestige. It's nothing compared to Airfurt, which existed thousands of years ago. But it's more stable, it's more organized. Moreover, Logote has some of the best professors in command. ”

“Commando...”

It's magic that Kim Sung-cheol doesn't need.

What he needs is a powerful move, not an army of corpses.

“I don't mean to say this, but Airfurt is now a lost school. I should have known...”

If Christian says so.

At least he's not a man who exaggerates.

At that point, Kim Sung-cheol's mind went from Airfurt to Logote a lot, but he still wanted to check on one thing and move on.

“Do you know of an old man named Altuzius Zero? ”

“Yeah, I don't know. There are rumors that the greatest wizard born of the Airfurt engineering faction, although he did not achieve such a great reputation. ”

“Hoho?”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

It seemed like a faded, forgotten existence buried in the passage of time, and you had such a past.

Kim Sung-cheol asked a question, recalling the back of an old man who was sitting alone in a empty hall.

“Then why haven't you lost your reputation? ”

If you are skilled, the value of the name rises naturally.

Reputation or notoriety.

“Well, I don't know about that. But according to the rumors, professor Artuzius had a big accident when he was young. ”

“Accident?”

“Yes. They say they killed the Viceroy of the Assassins in a duel. ”

“That's unbelievable. ”

A question mark appeared in Sung-cheol Kim's head.

The assassin class is known as the nature of the wizard class.

If the wizard and assassin of Bronze skill compete one-on-one, the wizard will be seized by the assassin.

This is because the assassin has a lot of skills to retaliate against the wizard's attacks and can dig into the wizard instantly and launch a deadly attack.

Besides, what if he's the second most notorious assassin, the Deputy Bishop of the Horrible Assassins?

In a one-on-one battle?

It is no exaggeration to say that you cannot win with an ordinary wizard.

“Is it true? ”

“Well, I don't know the truth. I just heard about it through floating windmills. ”

“But if that were true, the Assassins wouldn't have let him get away with it. ”

If what Christian says is true, then Professor Altuzius cannot live.

The Assassin Society is a group that rules out revenge for ten brothers who lose one brother.

And if the sub-bishop dies, the head of the Assassination Bridge, the bishop, can personally execute him.

Kim Sung-cheol recalled the face of a man with black skin in a blurred memory.

‘Shamal Laziputt. If he's on his own, we can take out Altuzius and all of Airfurt's professors overnight. ’

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently stared at Christian.

Christian, who received Kim Sung-cheol's presumptuous gaze, said with a confident expression.

“I can't be sure. What I do know is that there was a sort of agreement between the Assassins who had lost their Viceroy and the Aerfurt School of Magic, and since then, Professor Artuzius has had no extracurricular activities. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, touching his chin.

It's a reasonable story.

The fact that two factions of the Assassin Brigade that only the best assassins gathered were defeated by an anonymous wizard in a one-on-one battle is enough to put the Church's reputation to the ground.

Keeping Altuzius in school as a condition of concealing that fact is not a losing business for the Assassins.

“What do you want to do? If you go to Logote, we'll speed you up. There are gold coins left and jewels. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stood on the path of choice.

Airfurt has lost its function in the school and the rumors surrounding Altuzius are unclear.

In other words, staying in Airfurt is a great risk.

Nevertheless, Kim Sung-cheol felt attracted to Airfurt.

I can't tell if it's pinched, but Kim Sung-cheol felt the same expectation as when he first entered Eckhart's exam.

You can only know if you can open the lid to see if it will benefit you, but Kim Sung-cheol is as greedy as he is about growth.

He chose a path that was risky but rewarding.

“I'll stay in Airfurt. If I can learn magic from the man who defeated the Assassin Archbishop in the duel, there won't be any more business left. ”

The next day, a new face appeared to the engineering teacher.

The man dressed closer to homelessness than a student continued to climb the cliff every morning to work in the synagogue, borrowing books from an old, stubborn professor, and reading books without a word from morning until late at night.

A week later, he read all the books he received from the old man and handed them out to the old man.

“Is there another book? ”

“ ……. ”

The old man silently pulls the book out of his soul vault.

One, two, three...

The number of books that are taken out of the warehouse is increasing.

Altuzius, who took out his 18th book, briefly said, looking at the mysterious man who had not yet accepted him as a disciple.

“I'll lend you the book. But I can only lend you a book. ”

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at books that were as tall as his height, picked up one of them and sat down to read the book.

‘Strange fellow. ’

It is neither a poem nor a play to be shown.

Kim Sung-cheol was taking the grimoire seriously and reading the contents, creating the power written in the grimoire as his own.

That undisciplined, pure passion was enough to awaken some feelings that Altuzius had forgotten.

Altuzius' gaze on Kim Sung-cheol changed.

But he could not express that emotion to the outside.

It was because a wolf in a hammock was watching him with sharp eyes.

As the eyes meet, Leonard Bottom gives you a wild smile and mutters as if to listen.

“Ah! When are you going to teach me how to perforate magic?" Don't you feel sorry for the disciple who only looks at the widow teacher? ”

His former disciple is now a follower of disaster.
