chapter 2
2 – How to train the Hurons
*
“Huh..?”
As I came to my senses, the two me got mixed up.
Hajun Choi, who used to play games in the corner of the room, and Hajun Choi, who lived a normal life in a world of wizards, just became one.
Two disparate memories were mixed, and great confusion came to me.
Is this world a world in a game? Then what about my 17 years? Are the people I interacted with just NPCs? My parents who sacrificed themselves to protect me…? However, there is also a problem in denying new memories.
Knowledge naturally permeated into my head. Edgar’s mana training method and Huron’s training method, which he had never learned since he was born, were completely embedded in his mind.
Then, wouldn’t the status window actually exist? I opened my mouth to confirm my hypothesis.
“…Status window.”

I can see the status window assigned to the character in the game.
‘Now I understand…’
I trained to death because I wanted to become a wizard to avenge my parents.
However, he was evaluated as terrible because he had no talent for magic, but his body had specifications that exceeded that of an athlete even though he had not exercised at all.
Because every year there are teachers who ask me if I should seriously look for a career path towards becoming an athlete. All of this was because the physical talents were all 11 and the magical talent was 1.
“…I don’t know why this happened, but I need to do what I have to do first.”
I don’t know if the world I’ve lived in for 17 years is a game or not.
Still, once you see the status window in reality, and the talent that Gamdol Choi Ha-joon picked is intact, the probability that everything that happened in the magic school story actually happens is very high.
Fortunately, the personalities of the two Hajun Chois are almost identical, so there was no major confusion about their identities. Luxurious troubles can be done after avoiding destruction, so I had to plan now.
The plan that Gamdol Choi Ha-joon made before he created the character was made under the assumption that it was a game, so even though there were places to work on, it seemed like it would be okay to follow the main story as it is.
Through the experience of Hajun Choi, an ordinary person, a new plan is established by substituting reality into the knowledge in the game. Making a plan doesn’t necessarily mean success, so I first made a plan for entering the academy.
It didn’t take long to come up with a plan because what I did every day in my room was to create a growth build.
To protect the world I may have to live in, to live a life of success for myself, and to avenge my parents, the first thing I need to do is… Kill myself.
For that purpose, I took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen of the house my parents passed away.
“…Is this correct?”
The minimum magic level required to enter the magic academy Celestial is 2. However, with a magical talent of only 1, it would take 10 years of practice to reach 2.
A month left until the entrance exam is not a figure that can be reached with simple training at this point. That is, inevitably, the help of the elixir is needed, but this is also problematic.
‘With a talent of 1, even if I try the elixir, it’s nothing but poop.’
The elixir of heavenly high spirits, which can be upgraded to 4 in an instant if someone else takes it, will it increase to 1.7 If I take it? 1.8 Will stop at that level. So, the first task is to fix this cursed magical talent.
When I was enjoying the game, I was confident that I could easily fix this, but now it is a reality. I think Hidden Piece is probably in the location I remember, but it’s impossible to get it at the current level.
Since you can’t use magic at all, you have to complete the whole process with your body. Is it possible to replace magic with physical abilities comparable to those of athletes? It was right to see it as impossible.
So I had to improve my physical abilities in a short period of time, and the most suitable method for that was ‘Huron training’.
“I know, I know…”
These Hurons must be insane. Does it make sense that you have to do a meaningful level of self-injury before you start practicing?
The training method of the Huron tribe is to inscribe the magic circuit unique to the Huron tribe into the body and develop the body rapidly by training while hurting one’s body through self-injury.
There are stages 1 to 10, and from stage 3, you don’t have to self-injure yourself, but in stages 1 and 2, you had to cut yourself.
However, this wasn’t a hidden skill that required infinite power for no reason.
I couldn’t stand like this forever, so I went into the bathroom, closed my eyes, and swung a cleaver at my arm to inflict the level of wounds required by the Huron training method.
“Quaaagh!”
It hurts. It hurts like a real dog. As the sensory stats led me, I cut off my arm at just the right level, but I felt the pain so intense that all my tears and mucus came out.
“Ahhh…”
To train while moving your body in this state? Aren’t they crazy Huron dogs? Not even one of these. At least the opposite arm, and one on both legs, must have similar wounds.
I know I won’t die because of the increased regeneration speed of Infinite Power, but this simple pain makes me so afraid to put a knife on my body.
‘I can’t eat it. sh*t.’
Gamdol Choi Ha-joon and ordinary person Choi Ha-joon have lived a life far from fighting. But the feeling of being cut by a knife, not even a fist, is really creepy and hurts.
However, I had to hold on to my heart. If you give up like this, the comfortable life that Gamdol Choi Ha-Jun wants and the revenge of his parents that ordinary Choi Ha-Jun wants will just become a long way off.
Is that all? The world might end if I do this. In the process of training magic, he is the only one who has grown to a significant level, and calms his mind with the mental power of 4.7.
[Spirit increases by 0.1.]
Spirit now at 4.8. In the end, before the wound on my left arm had healed, I also swung the knife through my right arm. The right arm, which had been cut so deep that the bone was slightly exposed, spurted blood.
“f*ck… f*ck…”
While swearing, he does what he has to do. Next is the turn of the right leg. Although the cut was obviously very deep, the arm moved without a problem. I felt that the three-three infinite power was a fraudulent characteristic.
After groaning in pain after deeply wounding both legs, he turned off his transcendental strength and moved as required by the Huron training method in a state of considerable loss of strength.
In the future, it is more effective to do fitness without having to move according to the training method, but it is embedded in my mind that I must move according to the training method until the beginning of the section where I engrave the training method on my body.
“Whoa… f*ck… I should have just made a wizard.”
I’m not a person who curses a lot, but I couldn’t help it because the current situation was so damn good. If you were a wizard, you wouldn’t have to go through such hardships, but it’s a sin to pretend to be a knight for no reason.
Once I’m self-harming and moving according to the training method of the Hurons, I can feel that the magic wriggling inside my body is spreading throughout my body and accomplishing something.
[Muscle strength increases by 0.1.]
I forgot the pain of the wound… No, I couldn’t forget it, but I moved my body in a slightly relieved state and tried to feel how magic was moving in my body through my super senses.
Right now, I’m just relying on my skills to energize myself, but I had a strong intuition that if I could do all of this on my own, there would be greater progress.
[Muscle strength increases by 0.1.]
[Stamina increases by 0.1.]
It was my intuition with the 11th sense talent, so there was a high probability that it was correct. How much time had passed like that? All of the scars on his body disappeared before he knew it, and the mana that had been working through training stopped.
What I did in that state was to harm myself again.
“Aww!”
It’s already the second time I’ve done this, but I can’t get used to it. The pain that started in my arms and stabbed my spine felt like my eyeballs were about to pop out. It’s really to die for.
Still, I had no choice but to move because I knew that being sick right now was much better than really dying.
I wielded a cleaver, praying that the present pain would lead to a better future.
[Skill: Acquire swordsmanship (Lv1).]
At that moment, the knife cut, which had been close to random, became a little more orderly, and the cut on the arm was cleaner than before.
“…Should I like this..?”
I acquired the swordsmanship skill faster than I thought as my weapon skill was LvM, but swordsmanship was just a tool to make self-harm easier for me now.
Still, the physical strength stat increased, and the swordsman became cleaner, so the pain slightly lessened than before. It’s like going from being hit by a professional pitcher to being hit by a high school pitcher.
It’s the same terrifying pain, but the fact that I’m better than I was just a few hours ago, and the fact that I can feel the rapid growth swallowed up my hesitation and made me bolder.
You can continue to be active even if you don’t eat or sleep. It means that I can practice without stopping as long as my mental strength permits.
Of course, it would be better to supply additional nutrients for rapid growth of the body, but the remaining food at home is 3 days’ worth. You can focus only on training without going out for at least three days.
After inflicting wounds on both legs once again with a better swordsmanship skill, he threw the knife on the floor and moved again according to the Huron training method.
It was the moment when the mad nogada started.
