Main Character Hides His Strength

15. Tube of Repentance (2)

Outside the Airport School of Magic, there is a magic tool store called Carbunkles.

The historic shop, which has been operating for the eighth generation, was in danger of closing its doors due to the coming disaster and the decline of the Air Fourth School of Magics.

However, today the shop owner's mouth was wide open.

“You're buying... all of this? ”

I thought big hands were just good luck for other people.

“I'll do anything. How much?”

However, the black-haired Summoner, who appeared without notice, gave the owner sufficient benefit to replenish the deficit that had accumulated for many years at a time.

“Thirty gold coins... You're a regular, so I'll give you thirty cents. ”

A man purchased 31 Lesser Magical Essences.

The so-called Mana drink.

An item that replenishes your lost magic when you drink it. It's notorious for a lot more than its effectiveness.

But the guy bought 31 of them.

There were only two in stock, but 29 were available in total from other magic tools dealers and alchemists who knew the city.

He had bought 11 Mana drinks in the past, but what he now has in common is that he doesn't bargain at all.

Even though a few dozen gold coins were going back and forth, I paid as much as I wanted to.

Just this one deal.

The actual purchase price of 31 Mana essences sold to a man was only twelve cents of gold.

The owner was willing to give up to twenty gold coins when the bargain started.

However, the man did not ask, nor did he hesitate to hand over thirty gold coins, so it was natural for the owner to laugh.

Moreover, the man's gold coins were so pure that they seemed to be worth much more than other gold coins.

Even the same Doubloons vary in price depending on the time of manufacture, especially according to weight and purity.

“Now if you'll excuse me. ”

After the man left, the owner carefully examined the gold coins the man left behind.

Definitely 99.9% pure gold coins.

The owner's mouth fell back into place.

“What the hell is he doing? ”

He looked at the back of the gold coin and checked the place of issue.

Ordinary coins usually show where they were cast.

However, there was no sign of the gold coin in the owner's hand.

An unmanned coin.

I had no idea that I was the owner of a prop shop or a hardware store that I had sold to my students all my life, but there was only one force that had the power to issue unmanned coins in this world.

Merchant Alliance Guild.

It is a giant force that does not step forward, but reigns as the hidden power of the two worlds through the use of information networks of economies and merchants such as hydrogen.

The distribution of unmanned coins was a topic they had been interested in for a long time.

“The distribution of unmanned coins is being confirmed. ”

It was late in the evening that Chief of the Merchant Guild, Governor Horneko, heard about the distribution of unmanned coins.

On the dining table is a piece of black bread and a piece of butter.

A crude meal that doesn't suit the viceroy of the League of Merchants guild, claiming to be billions of gold.

Governor Horneko stared at the deputy with sleepy eyes, chewing the hard bread from the well.

“... Really? ”

He listened to the report and finished eating.

After placing the butter on the black bread, the warm water in the mouth then chews the buttered bread and passes it over with water.

After a long meal reminiscent of the cow's chewing, Horneko finally opened his mouth.

“Where was the distribution of unmanned coins confirmed? ”

“A golden city. ”

“The City of Gold? ”

One of Horneco's eyebrows raises.

“Yes. We have also confirmed that some gems that we know well are being distributed throughout the golden city. ”

“A gem after an unmanned coin. ”

There is only one reason why unmanned coins that were hidden in endless vaults began to circulate.

Eight years ago, a man who had robbed an infinite vault once again began to work in the realm of man.

I've barely missed it before, but I can't miss it this time.

“Contact the Assassins. I won't ask you the price, so send me the best elites you can mobilize. ”

*

The reason for purchasing a large amount of Magical Essence is simple.

The second Hidden Quest hidden in the Coffin of Whirlwind demands a huge amount of magical power.

Now, there is an ominous black light on the desk of an empty room.

“This is asphalt. ”

Bertelkia looks at the stone at a glance and opens her mouth.

“I see.”

Kim Sung-cheol knows.

Among the warriors who specialize in fighting wizards, there are often hordes of asphalt in weapons.

The aspiration stones in the private room were much larger than they were, and the surface was rebounded as proof that many students had gone through their hands.

“Hmm. Same place as before, same school as now. ”

Bertelkia popped out of Kim Sung-cheol's pocket and said.

While Kim Sung-cheol was silent, Bertelkia spun around the asphalt.

“The magic school I went to had one asphalt in each dormitory. Some of my freshmen are naturally gifted. We leave the asphalt in order to weed out those kids. Real people break asphalt with their magic. ”

“That's what I'm trying to do. ”

Kim Sung-cheol pulled one out of the Soul Warehouse.

It contains thirty magical essences.

“I don't think this is right. ”

Vertelgia sags.

“It's a scam. Fraud!”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol put his hand on the asphalt, not reluctant to Bertelkia's words.

At the same time as the magic was sucked in, a bright letter appeared in front of my eyes.

[Welcome to the Magic Measurement School of Airfurt.]

[You are touching the magic stone, the asphalt stone. If you feel chills now, numbness in front of your eyes, your legs twitching, and you feel like lying down on your back, please take your hands off the asphalt right now.]

“ ……. ”

My eyes are numb.

Kim Sung-cheol poured a magical essence into his mouth.

The sheep is as big as a chick's tears, but as soon as it enters your body, you can feel Mana's recovery.

[Excellent! You are the owner of strong magical powers. So let's start with horsepower measurements.]

[Magic measurements will continue for 5 minutes from now and the test will end immediately if the hand is removed or if the Magic Power has been determined to be depleted.]

[So let's start now. 5... 4.. 3... 2... 1]

[Start!]

At the end of the countdown, the asphalt started to draw the magical power of Kim Sung-cheol fiercely.

Kim Sung-cheol diligently shoved the magic essence into his mouth with his other hand while holding the asphalt.

You enter as your magic rushes out.

The magical asphalt became increasingly full of white light.

“That's not it. This... is not...”

Bertelkia lost her words and watched Kim Sung-cheol's method.

The test was completed when half of the 31 magical essences had been emptied.

[Excellent! You probably have the top 1% of your motivations.]

[Mardytes, the 12th Principal of the Aerfurt School of Magics, salutes you with the most important qualities of wizard-born magic.]

Reward: Magic Power +5, Intuition +5,

A bountiful reward.

But this is not the end.

Kim Sung-cheol did not take his hand off the asphalt.

After a short while, the turbulence inside the smokestone filled with milk glow began to surge.

[Are you still short?]

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, holding the magical essence in his other hand.

[Very well, then. Let the real trials begin. However, we ask that you continue the exam under the supervision of your dormitory supervision, as it can be very risky.]

No personal feelings.

Instead, there is Bertelgia, the swarming one.

When Sung-cheol Kim looks at Bertelkia, he yells with a feeling that he doesn't know.

“Go!”

At the same time another test started.

The asphalt absorbed Kim Sung-cheol's magic with a force so strong that it could not be compared to now.

“Huh? Isn't this dangerous? ”

While Bertelkia was worried, Kim Sung-cheol was not pleased.

He still has 15 magical essences left.

Once the Mana has been removed, the mechanical work of inhaling the essence quickly replenishes the Mana, and another essence is carried out without rest.

Boom, boom! Boom, boom! Tuck!

In an instant, ten empty bottles are placed on the desk with a cheerful sound.

Watching the scene, Bertelgia is once again deeply shocked.

“Is this... what humans do? ”

A crack occurred on the surface of the asphalt while only 4 Mana essences remained.

At the same time, Kim Sung-cheol, who had mechanically inhaled Mana essence, stopped moving.

[Remarkable. You are the owner of a powerful magical force that appears once every 10 years.]

[Celebrate the birth of the Great Wizard responsible for the future of Airfurt in advance, and wish him everlasting glory ahead of him.]

Reward: Magic Power +5, Intuition +5

Additional reward was obtained.

Quests related to the Ambush Stone in the Chamber will not be triggered for a while.

It will take a long time for the broken asphalt to heal.

And there was one more important problem for Kim Sung-cheol.

He was feeling unfamiliar popularity outside the door.

‘Rich girl. Finally, you noticed. ’

It was my destiny to meet again someday.

Like it or not, she's keeping an eye on what's going on inside the coffin.

Kim Sung-cheol muttered, catching the flying Vertelgia and putting it in his pocket.

“Keep your mouth shut for a second. ”

“ ……. ”

Bertelkia shudders in her arms, positively.

Waiting outside the door was an unexpected figure.

“What are you doing there? ”

She glanced at Kim Sung-cheol with her big blue eyes and looked over Kim Sung-cheol.

“I was doing a quest related to asphalt for a while. ”

You don't have to lie and hide what you're about to find out.

Kim Sung-cheol said honestly.

Then, Sarah looked past Sung-cheol Kim and stared at the boss on the desk in the prison room.

“Huh."

The surface of the asphalt is all torn apart like dry rice paddy.

Sarah stared at Sung-cheol Kim in surprise.

“Is this... what you did? ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Sarah's new brother waves thinly like Pacho.

“No way! ”

Sarah casts a spell on her insides, touching the broken asphalt.

‘Vision.’

Then, the information in front of her came to me in the form of visible text in front of Kim Sung-chul and Sarah.

< person who broke the shell >

1. Mardi Gras

2. Against Lagrein

3. Vito

4. Amine Cruise

...

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol's name appeared in the list of characters that were flowing like a movie's staircase.

142. Altuzius Zero

...

148. Leonard Bottom

149. Sarah Zero

At the end, Kim Sung-cheol's name appeared.

151. Kim Sung-cheol

Sarah stared at the name and turned her head to look at Kim Sung-cheol.

Her cold blue eyes remind me of a little magic circle.

“You broke the asphalt because your magic is under 100?! ”

It's impossible.

In her mind.

However, Kim Sung-cheol picked up a small bottle and threw it as if he knew Sarah's heart.

Sarah immediately recognized the liquid in the bottle.

“This is Magic Essence..?! ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Then I saw Sarah.

An empty Magic Essence Bottle piled up on the Priest's Table.

‘Oh, my God... how much is this? ’

Sarah's eyes widen and a cold breath emanates from deep inside her lungs.

“This is a scam. ”

Sarah said, fluttering.

“It's a scam. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Sarah with grave eyes.

“But I had no choice. Because my teacher didn't want to teach me magic, it was concluded that I had no choice but to raise my abilities without compromising the means and means. ”

“Th-that's it! ”

Sarah shuts up as she tries to speak.

It is because we know what the situation is with Altuzius Zero.

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently looked at Sarah like that and said.

“I'm going to stop by on the second floor. I have a quest to do. I don't mean any harm, so I can keep an eye on him if you want. ”

“ ……. ”

Sarah did not answer.

Silence is the meaning of protection.

Kim Sung-cheol moved past Sarah and set foot on the stairs on the second floor.

Upon entering the second floor, I felt that Hangi had stayed in the whole coffin of the meeting even deeper.

Among them, the most powerful magical energy was Sarah's room.

‘Frost enchantment. ’

Past Sarah's room, Kim Sung-cheol hid in a coffin and headed to the next quest.

The quests that existed in the coffin were notorious for their high difficulty and risk, but were not an obstacle in front of Sung-cheol Kim, who was already familiar with the attacking laws and knew how to achieve more than the attacking laws.

Alchemists by day and a week of polishing by morning, circling the coffin at night.

Kim Sung-cheol enjoyed a long homemade meal in the sense of celebration and examined his status window.

Kim Sung-cheol poured out his drink in a heartbeat.

“Yay!”

It's sweet.

It was especially difficult to raise my magical strength.

It is because if you exceed the barrier of beginner 100, you will be braking your growth.

Thanks to you, I was able to complete all the hidden quests that existed in the coffin and hung on to softness.

All day long, I could barely achieve my goal by increasing my horsepower by 1 or 2.

‘Let's go back there. ’

I haven't heard the good news from Christian yet, but Kim Sung-cheol decided to go to the Institutional Chapel in a long time.

*

“Who is this? I thought you were headed to Alchemy. You came back here because you don't have any friends. Somehow, I don't think we have any friends here either. ”

As soon as I returned to the Chapel of Performing Science, Leonard welcomed me vigorously.

Kim Sung-cheol completely ignored Leonard and stepped into the synagogue.

Altuzius, who sits with his back turned under the pillar as usual, turns his head slightly, and falls facedown.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol sat next to the tower of a book that had been torturing him and picked up a book.

He was the thickest, most complicated guy in the head.

Leonard, lying in the hammock, looked at Sung-cheol Kim and said scornfully.

“I'll tell you in your old age, it's not something a novice like you can understand just by looking at it. ”

It would have been good advice if I had told you in advance.

But it's different now.

Kim Sung-cheol was watching the phrases that had never been understood rebuilt into something that he could assemble and understand in front of his own eyes with one rule.

“ ……. ”

The grimoire opened in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

Leonard's eyes widen.

What the... what the fuck? ’

No small sound can hide anything in a loud synagogue.

The moment the book floated into the air handed over the bookshelf at high speed and conveyed the knowledge contained in it to Sung-cheol Kim, Altuzius' head turned around and he immediately awed at his old age.

‘No... that guy...?! ’

In the shock, there was a small change in Kim Sung-cheol.

The change was soon presented in the form of letters.

[You read the basics of engineering: light shining through the clouds.]]

[Knowledge of the heavens and the universe dwells within you.]
