The Returner

“No, listen to me for a second. ”

“I'm not listening! I'm not listening, you son of a bitch! ”

Lee Hyuk shakes his head as if it were ridiculous.

“Wow, I knew it was another line, but I didn't know it was this big. I've never seen a madman like that before in my life. ”

Choi Jung-hoon also empathized.

I thought I knew another idiot of the same grade, but seeing what you're doing today, that's the tower.

“This is a top secret you can't let out! ”

The Alpha cried out.

However, Lee Hyuk's face was fat as he listened to the cries.

“Okay, get out of here. You guys keep secrets from each other, and I'll just die playing games here. ”

“I can live with Yi Hyuk's help! Why can't you understand what I'm saying? Oh, you're so frustrating! ”

“ ……. ”

This is what you use when you say you're dumb.

It is Lee Hyuk who has lived for over a thousand years.

There must have been two lunatics among the human armies he saw.

But this madman in front of me had surpassed that level.

Beyond the top of the world, beyond the top of history, the craziest man in the dimension.

“Let's hear it. ”

People calm down when they get too confused.

“So what can I do for you? ”

“Are you helping me? ”

“No, if you're going to help, you have to know what to do to help. ”

“That's right.”

“As you can see, I've lost all my strength. But what can I do to help? ”

“No.”

Alpha waves his finger.

“Tricking me won't work. Lee Hyuk didn't lose all his fighting abilities, right? ”

“Huh?"

“I've already figured out your mechanisms through the Horses. Lee Hyuk couldn't handle black magic anymore, but he didn't become a regular person. You just have to use Mana. ”

“... Don't you know what the Black Wizard means? ”

“With a man before he turned 25.... ”

“Oh, you crazy bastard! Really!”

Lee Hyuk trembled.

Oh, my God, the day has come when we have been talking and trying to stop each other.

Why did Heaven give birth to me and this madman again?

Lee Hyuk stared at the alpha with a feeling of being a Sali who envied Mozart.

I trained for a thousand years, but a natural genius couldn't win.

“If I could use Mana, would I have made a deal with the Magi? Think and speak! ”

“I can write. ”

“Huh?"

“Argoras said, the reason Yi Hyuk couldn't use Mana for the first time was because Mana had no affinity. ”

“That's right."

There was no way humans in this ethereal world could ever be friendly in Mana. I can't even feel Mana in the first place. How can I gather Mana in the Mon?

“But Lee Hyuk has been using magic for over 2,000 years. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

Wow, this is a... unexpected story.

“Then maybe we can just use Manat? ”

“Wow……. ”

I looked at Alpha as if Lee Hyuk was really surprised.

“How did you come up with that? I had no idea. You know me better than I do. ”

“No more jobs. ”

“Can you give me a job at Ghoul? ”

“... No more. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the Alpha as surprised and opened his mouth.

“But even if I did, I wouldn't be much of a force. My body naturally contains Black Magic, so normal Magic Power causes collisions. After all, you have to build Mana from the outside of your body, but you can only get up to 10% more output than you can with Black Magic Power. I don't know if I've ever done this before, but if I'm bad at it, about 1%? ”

‘1% of Lee Hyuk... ’

I can't feel the amount of pressure.

Choi Jung-hoon thought that that level of power would be NDF enough, but it was not helpful when dealing with the Demon Kings.

‘That's subtle.’

But the Alpha smiled as if he knew it all.

“Oh, well, that's about it. I'm not asking you to help me look at Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk looked at Alpha as if he didn't know anything.

Unless you're asking for help from a power source, what use are you?

“I'm a little embarrassed to say it with my mouth... ”

“… Yes? ”

“I'm practically useless, except for fighting. It wouldn't help. ”

“That's an intense topic. I was moved.”

The Alpha giggles.

“What I want to get from Lee Hyuk is Manna's ability to control. ”

“Mana?”

“There are a few things to take care of with Mana. Well, it's not a big deal. But here's the most important thing. ”

“What?"

Alpha gives a slight mop and opens his mouth.

“The biggest problem for humanity is that we don't have wizards either. ”

“… not that there's no concept in your head? ”

“That's a bit of a problem, actually. But it's not more important than this. If you can handle managing Mana to deal with Mana creatures, power will rise rapidly, right? ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk's head began to fall back.

As my unused brain began to spin, I felt like steam was coming out of my head.

“Magic?”

Teaching magic to mankind?

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

“Do you know how long it takes a skilled wizard to build? If I start teaching now, it will probably take 10 years before I can hit a horse.... ”

Oh, yeah?

Lee Hyuk slowly turned his head and looked at Jung-hoon Choi.

Choi Jung-hoon replied with an awkward face.

“I think Mana is recharging automatically these days. ”

“Ten years? ”

If we could spend the most time efficiently, wouldn't we be able to make that much time? With Lee Hyuk, who could open a portal between dimensions, ten years of time could be made not so difficult.

Humans who want to devote ten years of their lives to training will not come easily....

“I don't intend to send ordinary people. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Hasn't Lee Hyuk already proven that synergy occurs when magic and ether are combined? ”

“… Yes. ”

“In other words, talents can also build mana in their bodies. It would have been impossible if it hadn't been for Mana, but it is now. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the Alpha with admirable eyes.

“Wow, is that how it works? You're really smart. ”

“Isn't it the biggest difference between me and Lee Hyuk? ”

“But I don't think there's any more of you. ”

“… Sorry. ”

Alpha shrugs and opens his mouth.

“It's not a situation where Lee Ji-hyuk can step up and teach each other. First of all, you have to teach magic to the best that exists. and see how synergy works. And then we increase the number of cars. ”

Choi Jung-hoon swallowed the saliva.

Here, things are starting to get weird.

Ridiculous, absurd, but subtle. Now that we have the ability to use magic, the power of mankind will rise dramatically. How great magic can be just by looking at Eiffel Drich or Yi Hyuk.

“Then who is the most powerful human being? ”

“Of course it's me! ”

Alpha said with her chest out.

“Lee Hyuk has become useless! ”

“The useless stuff is a bit.... ”

“Then Lee Hyuk has become useless! ”

“Hey! ”

“I am humanity's most powerful and powerful creature. Who else could take that responsibility? ”

“Hnng.”

Lee Hyuk stumbled on the couch.

“So let me get this straight: let's teach a man with ether abilities magic to make Manawa and Ether synergies, is that it? ”

“I think it's the only way. ”

“Wow, that's... that's some serious shit. Then why do you want to ask? It looks like rotten rice cake, but it's really rotten. ”

Lee Hyuk wrapped his head around it.

That's a lunatic.

But because he was crazy, other people were thinking about things that they didn't even think about. It's medium-grade heating right now, but if you stitch this up well, something interesting will come out.

You can't imagine a world without Mana, but there is a lot of Mana on Earth right now.

As the magnetic field and aligned spots became increasingly active, almost the same level of Mana was being introduced. In a situation like this, if Lee Hyuk can only make people feel Mana, even people without affinity might be able to use magic.

Even though no one in Beraf tried to do that for Lee Hyuk.

“I'll be your Mormoth. ”

“Ha, shit. ”

Lee Hyuk stared at the Alpha with his hollow eyes.

“I wish you hadn't brought this idea. ”

“Isn't that what life is all about? ”

“Did you force this situation? That I'm still alive, that Mana is rich, that humanity is powerless? ”

“… I didn't go that far. I just didn't think there would be an answer when the gate opened. It was only a matter of time before humanity became extinct, because of what Argoras did. ”

“You've got a rat in your paw. ”

“Where did you catch the mouse? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled bitterly.

I didn't mean to believe all that. Alpha's plan can't be everything.

Unfortunately, it was also true that Alpha's idea was a clue that humanity in the corner could react.

I didn't like that it was Alpha who would be the culprit....

“I'll try.”

“Lee Hyuk! ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

“Well, of course I don't like him, but I can't help it. Unfortunately, he's the most powerful man alive, and I'm guessing he's already prepared for that. ”

“Of course I do. ”

“Look. ”

Choi Jung-hoon said in a grumpy tone.

“However…. ”

“I don't like giving this guy abilities either. But we can't help it. It's better to have a world ruled by madmen than to be destroyed by a horse. ”

“Ugh…. ”

Jung-hoon Choi couldn't stop Lee Hyuk anymore. It is because there is nothing wrong with what Lee Hyuk said.

“Wise choice. So I'm going to come up with a little bit of preparation, knowing that the negotiations are closed. ”

“You said it was urgent.”

“We have to do something urgent. ”

Alpha said in a bad way.

“Actually, I didn't expect it to be this simple. If you don't listen to me, I was going to stay out of the tent for three nights. ”

“Seo Ah Young will be watching. ”

“Damn witches scare me, too. Anyway, I'm going away for a while. ”

Squawk.

Lee Hyuk looked up at the ceiling and muttered as he disappeared.

“What's all this...? ”

“… I see. ”

They were silent for a while.
