The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy

chapter 29



29 – If only you don’t want to take it off, can I take it off too?

*

‘I received 8 billion.’

Total assets▽

KRW 8,000,324,732

I can’t believe the money I earned just by going around the dungeon once.

The length of the number stamped on the balance greatly blurred the sense of reality. Even if I had worked hard all my life, I would never have seen this amount.

‘If I had earned this much in my previous life, I would have bought a house and a car.’

I would have invested in real estate, tried the luxury of ordering food delivered every day, and would have stayed at home and played games for the rest of my life.

‘It’s different now.’

You have to kill a lot of monsters, at least enough to relieve your parents’ resentment, and stop the demon lord and his followers from destroying the world.

I intended to run as hard as I could until I solved all the cases.

‘First of all, Yu Yi-seol’s work was done well…’

I gave 2 billion to her friend Rain to prevent her from harboring ill feelings towards me.

Looking at the fact that he didn’t seem particularly obsessive when we broke up, it seemed like he had managed to cope with the shock of his first defeat.

If we happen to see each other at school, it’s just a casual exchange of greetings. That was what I thought of Yu Yi-seol and my relationship.

Maybe she thinks the same as me.

On the way back home, I texted Suna.

-Hey, what are you doing?

As usual, a reply comes back within 10 seconds.

-Breathe

It’s nice to have a quick reply, but it’s too sincere.

‘It’s a really good night.’

I put away all the artifacts that I could use and brought Suna first, but I wonder if it was for no reason.

-Since I prepared a present, I am waiting quietly at my house.

Still, there is no way I can not give you what I have already brought, so I told him to wait at my house.

– A gift? What?

-Secret. I’ll arrive in about 30 minutes, so if you haven’t washed it, wash it

He replied as if he was bothered, but he seemed curious about what the gift was. After answering that it was a secret to be more curious, I turned off the screen and closed my eyes for a while until I arrived.

You don’t have to sleep and you hardly feel mental fatigue, but this kind of catering gives you a feeling that your tiredness is relieved.

Since it’s been 16 days since I haven’t slept at all, I’ve been wanting to lay down on the bed and sleep, but I know better than anyone else that I can’t do that.

‘Let’s hold on a little longer. Hajun Choi.’

Self-injury hurts. Monsters are scary All kinds of negative emotions try to eat me up, and I say it’s okay to rest here.

He tries to make me sit on the floor, saying that no one recognizes that you are struggling alone, and that you are the only one who needs to suffer so much.

Devils that do not disappear even after regenerating their bodies and restoring their minds. Every time they tried to bring me down, I thought of a man.

A seeker who shook off all dirty temptations and walked the path of the sword even though no one recognized him.

I had a senior who walked the same path as me, so I was able to walk along the right path even in a world full of darkness.

Today, as I walked along that road, I opened my closed eyes and made up my mind. Then the black hands holding her ankles disappeared.

At least today, the devil will no longer visit you.

I opened the door lock and unlocked it by pressing the password.

Looking at Suna’s shoes at the entrance, it looks like she’s at my house as I said.

Actually, you can bring it to Suna’s house, but since it’s the weekend, Suna’s parents will be at home, so I just called them over to my house.

‘Every time we meet, you talk about marriage…’

When we eat together, they ask me, ‘So, when are you going to marry Suna?’

Since we’re so close, I don’t feel anything like romance… To be honest, what’s wrong with a girl like Sun-ah, why would she marry me?

I don’t want to admit it, but I have a good look, a rich family, and my latent talent is the best in the world.

Unless I was threatening with a knife, it was not an easy partner to even confess to, let alone marry.

‘What are you doing after worrying about this…’

It’s not like I’m actually going to marry Suna. Sunah’s parents are close friends with me, so they’re joking around, but they’re not really saying it.

When I took off her shoes and went into the living room, there was Suna sitting on her sofa watching TV while chewing on the snacks I had been saving. Anyone who sees her will know that she is in her own bedroom.

“Hey.”

“Why?”

“Where else did you find the cookies?”

“It’s obvious where you can hide your stuff. I looked around to see if there was one, but there really is.”

I went straight up to her and blew her beetle on her forehead.

“Keukeuugh! Why are you hitting me all of a sudden!”

If you use all your strength, your forehead will be pierced. Seeing her cry makes her feel cold inside.

‘Yes. Sunah is right.’

What kind of marriage is marriage? He and I were just friends.

“I hit him because he was in the perfect position to hit me.”

“Ugh… Don’t be fooled by the gifts. I’ll show you what a real night is.”

Sun-a is practicing a beetle with one hand while rubbing her forehead with the other.

When she saw her doing that with her strength lower than 1, she was very funny. She probably wouldn’t feel any pain if she was hit 100 times in the same area.

‘Well, if I receive a present, I won’t even think of it.’

“Okay. Take it. If you don’t like it, you can return it.”

I took out her necklace of storms from her pocket and handed it to Suna.

“Necklace…? It looks pretty, but…”

“The content is more authentic, so use emotion magic.”

Just as I said, she put her magic into her necklace. Through her magic, the information from her necklace flowed into Sun-ah, and after a while, Sun-ah’s expression changed to something close to her astonishment.

“…What is this..?”

It seems that he is surprised by the performance of the necklace and is unable to speak properly.

An item that can only be found in special dungeons such as Fafnir’s Rare, with all options confined to one field.

Even if it’s a unique artifact, it’s rare that all of its options are valid options.

Even if it’s an artifact for wizards, it means that at least one option could be something like increased strength.

‘I didn’t spend a lot of time looking through the treasure chest for nothing.’

That necklace is the result of my best effort for Suna. So, in addition to being shocked, I was very curious about what kind of reaction would come out.

“Wow… How did you get these things?”

“I got it from a dungeon. Is there any place other than a dungeon where I can get something like this?”

I’m not from a good family, and I’ve never been able to stand out and receive support. Of course, the only way for me to get expensive artifacts is through dungeons.

“Dungeon..? You said you got it from the dungeon?”

The atmosphere suddenly becomes heavy.

‘Isn’t this…?’

For some reason, her voice is cold. I thought she would say great with joy, but I never expected this kind of response.

“Why is this suddenly…?”

Her expression looks very serious. I thought about it again to see if I had made a mistake, but it didn’t seem like I did anything wrong.

“…Why? You really don’t know why I’m doing this?”

‘I really don’t know.’

All I did was present a good artifact. But I don’t know where Suna can get angry.

“Huh… Junah Ha. Do you know how many people die in dungeons every year?”

“Ah…”

Now I understand why she was mad at me.

There are overflowing people who challenge the dungeon every year, whether it’s to make a fortune or change rapid growth.

Dungeons can be a big turning point in your life if you can clear them, so it’s not at all strange for wizards belonging to the lower ranks to risk their lives to challenge dungeons.

“It’s self-inflicted that low-ranking mages die, but it’s clear that a dungeon is a place where mages belonging to the upper ranks can be annihilated even if they enter with all the power they want to try at this level… Am I wrong?”

“…Right.”

Yes. It’s not just low-ranking mages who die in dungeons.

There are quite a few high-ranking wizards who enter dungeons in units of engineering after understanding only the theme of the dungeon with emotion magic.

Of course, I wonder if high-ranking wizards who already live stable lives need to do that, but the desire to rise to the top is the same for both low-ranking and high-ranking wizards.

If an F-class wizard aims for an E-class, an A-class wizard will aim for an S-class.

The spirit of improvement always evokes the desire to challenge the unknown world.

“It’s a really high-level dungeon to the point where stuff like this comes out… There’s no way you, an F-rank mage, would’ve been given an engineering major in a dungeon where stuff like this came out… You didn’t dare challenge it alone…?”

The process of inferring how and under what circumstances I brought this item is very fast. It is the appearance of a person with a knack for magic.

“…Uh. I challenged myself and brought it out.”

Anyway, lies don’t work. As she said, there is no engineering team that would take an F-class wizard to a dungeon with a unique artifact.

Even if you take it, it will be the use of the porter, and there is no crazy engineering team that distributes unique artifacts to the porter.

“Still, he wasn’t hurt, and he brought the artifact, so maybe it’s all right..?”

She opens her eyes wide.

“That’s what I’m going to say now…”

She grabs her forehead to see if her head is pounding as she finishes her talking.

“Huh… Okay. Then take it off.”

“Yes..?”

‘What do you mean? Lady?’

“He said he wasn’t hurt. Then can’t he take off his coat?”

f*cked.

Now, on my top, there are numerous scars made by the Huron training method.

Because he trained his entire body for the second stage, he now has scars all over his body besides his arms and legs.

Like this time, she had her scars crushed little by little so that they wouldn’t be misunderstood as self-harm, so there was a high probability that she would look like a scar from a dungeon.

If things go on like this, there is no choice but to be misunderstood that she rolled to the brink of death in a dungeon to save an artifact for Suna to use.

“Why..? Can’t you take it off? If only you don’t want to take it off, can I take it off too?”

Sunah grabbed the hem of her top and tried to lift it up.
