The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy

24 – To the abyss you came from

*

“But as far as I know, putting magic into a magic circle doesn’t necessarily mean that spirits will appear…”

Sunah is right.

Even if you don’t have any particular talent, elemental magic can be deployed if the spell is perfect, but spirit magic is only the realm of talent, so it was not easy to summon a low-level spirit without talent.

‘But you’re not.’

“If you put magic into it and the spirit doesn’t come out, I’ll grant you one wish.”

I believed in Suna’s talent to the extent that she was able to issue such empty checks.

Even since that magic circle erased the part about the spirit contract, the probability of the spirit being summoned is slightly higher than the existing magic circle.

I succeeded in summoning the spirits in 1 round with my character, who lacks a bit more talent than Suna when I was cutting the spirit build, but Suna can’t?

‘That’s Suzaku.’

“Really?”

An expression as if expecting something. Was there anything you wanted to ask of me? Of course, that expectation will collapse miserably.

“Uh. Anything is possible except for things that don’t make sense from common sense.”

“Okay. I’ll do it right away.”

Sunah infuses magic into the magic circle with an expression full of anticipation. Then, the wind flow changed above the magic circle, and a lower wind spirit appeared above it.

“Sheesh…”

She let out her sigh and put on a look of disappointment.

‘No, I should have liked it if I summoned the spirit the first time…’

I don’t know what my right to wish is.

-Hi? You are pretty!

A low-class spirit in the form of a beast.

Usually, up to the middle level spirits, most of them are in the form of ordinary beasts, and from the higher level spirits, they take the form of humanoids or fantasy beasts.

‘The highest level spirits were in the form of dragons or giants.’

An irrational existence that can become stronger than a sword master simply by growing old, imitating the transcendental species that are said to exist at the end of species.

‘But I can hear his voice too?’

With my talent, it’s normal to not be able to see or hear the uncontracted spirit.

Perhaps thanks to my super senses, I can see things I couldn’t see and hear things I couldn’t hear.

Whatever it was, it was the best.

“Yes? Thank you.”

Even though she had a disappointed expression until recently, Suna’s expression brightened, perhaps because the spirit in the form of a cute cat gave her a compliment. I was doing very well.

‘Conversation with the uncontracted spirit is also helpful for spirit training.’

Of course, there is a fixed time for gaining proficiency through that conversation.

’58… 59… 60.’

As soon as exactly one minute has passed, you can no longer gain skill in Spirit Art by talking to that Spirit. I immediately spoke to the spirit I was talking to.

“Hey. Spirit. Go back to the abyss you came from… No, to the spirit realm.”

-I’m sure my spiritual talent is terrible, but how are you looking at me..? And go back?

It’s possible to explain in detail, but it’s a waste to spend even one more second for the guy you’re about to break up with.

“Ah. You can’t sign a contract anyway, so try signing a contract and disappear quickly.”

– What? No way…

A spirit trying to make a contract like that. However, my magic circle is blocking the contract so that something is blocked, so it looks like it’s grunting.

-This can’t be like this..!

A spirit that tries to make a contract and is sucked into the magic circle as soon as it fails and returns to the spirit realm.

If it was the original magic circle, the moment the contract was attempted, it would have succeeded and returned, but even if it failed, it would return like that.

“Uh… Is this correct?”

Sunah asks me if what just happened is absurd. It seems that he still lacks faith.

“See. As I said, you succeeded in summoning a spirit in just one attempt. If you keep doing this, you will be able to summon an intermediate level spirit within a month, right?”

The moment you sign a contract with an Intermediate Spirit, even if you can’t handle it properly, you’re treated as a C-class wizard. She, who is a D-class wizard at the lower level, can grow one level in a month.

“Okay. I’ve decided to trust you, so I’ll continue.”

“Yes. Immediately put magic into the magic circle, and this time, as soon as one minute has passed, ask the spirit to make a contract with you. If you fail anyway, you will return.”

“…Yes.”

I feel a bit guilty right now, but I’ll get used to it soon after I get past 10.

And at that point, you will feel that your mastery of spirit magic has increased, so you might be more active than I am.

Watching Suna summon her spirit, I turned to her cross-legged seat and gathered my energy.

I came to a place with clear energy not only to make it easier to summon spirits, but also because I like to absorb energy.

The aura is so pure that it does not need to go through a refinement process.

I pushed the energies into the Blood Path through breathing and met them with the energies in the danteon.

My energies ate away the energies from the outside, and as they moved around the body according to the movement of the exercises, they became one whole, and my magic power increased a little more than before.

‘As expected, the energy is clear, so the gathering speed is fast.’

At this speed, if you run it for 2 hours at full speed, you can raise it by about 0.1.

Originally, it is impossible to run the practice for that long due to the burden of mental strength and blood flow, but I can do it because the recovery speed is 4 times faster.

‘Sunah is doing well too.’

Now I was able to drive the spirits out with my own strength the moment that a minute had passed.

I thought that we should prepare well only for the arrival of the monster, so we took a look at Sun-ah in the middle and continued to practice the technique.

After 2 hours like that, I was able to raise my mana according to my calculation.

[Magic power increases by 0.1.]

“Haa… Haa… I can’t do it anymore…”

Suna lies on the floor breathing hard, saying that she can no longer do it, perhaps because her magical energy has been exhausted. For the first day, this is pretty good.

Later, ‘Seonah! One more summon!’ I was thinking of making them drink mana potions and pushing them a bit more, but I didn’t intend to do that from the first day.

“Then shall we return soon?”

After going back and having lunch together, it was time to train with Seoyoon.

“I don’t have magic…? What are the monsters going to do?”

“Don’t worry. I can catch them all by myself even with you on your back.”

There were quite a few monsters she caught, but she was able to catch them all by herself without help.

“…I didn’t ask you to carry me?”

“Anyway, after 30 minutes, they’ll ask you to pick them up. If that’s the case, just carry them from the beginning.”

A mage’s low physical strength is something that can’t be helped.

“Yes.”

She was carried on her back all the time, so she was carried right away without much shame. Or maybe she became more brazen by sending back three-digit spirits.

“But you said you do personal training on the weekends, right?”

On her way out of the mountain, the girl on her back talks to her. I answered her, slicing the charging goblin in half with her blow.

“Uh. You guys watch the training and I have to have time to train separately. I can’t train for 24 hours, can I?”

It’s actually possible, but it’s common sense. And there was another reason why I, who was training enough every day, had free time on the weekends.

‘Because I have to go around the dungeon.’

Tomorrow, the most profitable dungeon among the dungeons that can be visited before entering the academy will be opened.

Since it happens in the middle of the city, I remember the exact location, so I plan to go in and get rid of it before others find it.

There is no need to blame myself for stealing someone else’s like Seo-yoon did, because I belonged to the Villains Alliance to discover this dungeon for the first time, so taking it was rather helpful to the world.

“Yes. As a human, you have to sleep and eat, but how can you train all day?”

‘It’s like I’m not human…’

Because I don’t have to sleep or eat. I was just hurt in my heart.

After going down the mountain and eating together, she asked me a question.

“Do you have feelings for Seoyoon or not?”

“Pu-sup…”

At the unexpected question, she drank her drink and spewed it forward.

“Oh, what are you doing dirty?”

“Isn’t it because you suddenly said something strange…”

I wiped the spilled drink in front of me with a tissue.

“So you’re interested or not?”

I’ve heard that girls enjoy this kind of talk, but I’m just very embarrassed because it’s my first time.

‘I’ve known you for over 10 years, so I guess I can ask you this much.’

“How could I be interested in a girl like that? He’s never been in a relationship before.”

I have a normal personality, a normal face, and all I have are abilities.

Of course, ability is an important factor in dating, but I’m not sure if my current ability is enough to appeal to a child from a conglomerate family.

I’m sure it’s D-class or higher in person-to-person battles, but other than that, I’m still only at the top level of E-class.

“Yes. What. Or… What about me?”

Sunah suddenly points at herself and asks how she is.

“Hey… What kind of vomit…”

I’m not stupid enough to see my friend of 13 years as a love target. Even when we were young, we even took a bath together. What kind of relationship is dating?

“Why. Isn’t I pretty and have a good personality?”

I don’t know how she could say such a thing with her own mouth, but when she was judged objectively, Suna was definitely pretty and had a good personality.

To be honest, it makes no sense to have a curvaceous body that doesn’t suit his short stature, but aren’t we childhood friends?

“Hey. Then I guess I’m a handsome guy with a good personality too?”

I joked and laughed like that, then left the restaurant and parted ways in front of her house.

“Then see you on Monday after the weekend. Ah, it’s possible to summon even at home, even if it’s less efficient, so I’ll do some training when my mana is full.”

Like her deceased person, I gave her homework to her because I couldn’t spare her surplus time.

“Okay…”

I think I heard the word stupid through the back of my head, but it must be because of my mood.
