The Second Salvation Myth of a Retired Returning Hero

chapter 3



3. mana test

‘Let’s write.’

I made up my mind and clenched my fists.

Doyoon’s arm muscles were sprouting tendons as the chaotic energy boiled up in his body.

While Doyoon was concentrating, the cadets went to the mana test one by one.

chin.

“next!”

puck!

“next!”

Pak.

“next!”

Various hitting sounds rang out. Most of them were flat, though, and a few of them could really be called blows.

‘No, no… No.’

The archery instructor concentrated on finding the boss monster killer every time he poured mana.

But then.

‘…yes?’

A female cadet who distracts the archery instructor’s concentration, no, steals the attention of all the men in the hall.

‘Wow…’

‘Go, pelvis… Whoa…’

‘Ass fuck… Fucked, really.’

The pelvis explosively spreads out below the thin waist without any flab.

Butt pair! It boasted great elasticity just by looking at it, as if it would bounce elastically if you hit it.

The sturdy thighs that came down smoothly did not look unsightly due to the excessive fat, nor did the muscles excessively stand out to diminish the feminine beauty.

It’s thick and sharp, and it’s likely that people won’t like or dislike it. It was the thighs that showed off their sexuality while overflowing with health.

“…what’s his name?”

“Sophie. Rumors have already spread in our class. Ass crazy bitch. A nickname given by girls.”

“Is it your class? envy…”

However, unlike her lewd body and vulgar nickname, Sophie’s face was quite innocent.

The impression that he would listen to anything even though he would be in trouble if asked for something.

Originally, it was a face that would stimulate a man’s protective instinct, but because of his lewd body, it became an atmosphere that only stimulated obscene sexual desire and conquest.

Like ripples on the water, a commotion spread from the place where the male cadets were gathered.

“quiet! Don’t be quiet!”

“These bastards… won’t shut up!? I’m here to play!”

It was the female instructors who quelled the disturbance. The male instructors, like the cadets, were completely preoccupied with her.

Contrary to her lower body, which is overly assertive, her figure walking out staggeringly like a frightened rabbit inflamed the sadism of the men who kept watching.

As much as the excessive attention was pouring from the male side, stinging eyes were also shot from the female cadets.

“Uhh, a servant girl… Look at her snobbishness.”

“Ha, aren’t you crazy? Why are you wearing leggings on your own?”

Of course, what Sophie was wearing wasn’t leggings, but everyday clothes from the same cradle as the girls.

“yes? Does he have horns on his forehead?”

“Aren’t there any horned kids in your class? There are about three of us in our class. There are so many different levels of origin, so it’s not even surprising.”

“That’s not the case, why is he wearing a cloth around his horns?”

“yes? uh, is that so?”

“Look at the color of your eyes! First time seeing pink eyes. It’s like a jewel…”

“No, rather than jewelry… uh… something a little strange…”

There were quite a few other unique points, but they did not receive much attention because they were hidden by her lower body and beauty.

“Whoa…”

Sophie took a deep breath in tension, clutching her hair tie in her mouth. Then he raised his hands and raised his head.

The white nape of her neck, which had been hidden by her long white hair, was revealed. She tied a cool ponytail with her skillful hands.

The impression of a silent book chairperson reading quietly in the library has changed into a girl with a twisted charm who seems to enjoy athletics as an unexpected hobby.

“I…”

“…yes?”

The archery instructor, who had been peeking through his sleeves at her armpits as white as the nape of her neck, was awakened by Sophie’s voice.

“You have to put in mana…”

“Ahh! Yes, that, yes.”

Sophie turned her back and stood. The instructor put his hand on her back, unaware that his gaze was fixed on her hip.

The skin texture felt in the palm of my hand was also very good. Even though the smooth back had no flab, it retained the softness inherent in women… It was the feeling of strength in the lower leg.

However, an unexpected sensation brought me back to my senses.

‘yes? Oh… look at this?’

Almost no mana bounces into the air. Most of it flows smoothly into the bloodstream, and there is no sense of being caught.

In terms of simple mana affinity and talent alone, he is a very good talent who can easily enter the country’s best guild, ‘World Tree’.

“Whoa…”

Sophie, who was infused with mana, took a deep breath again in front of the steel plate.

She jumped in place. It is a light and effortless movement.

‘It’s not Kwon, but each method?’

An obvious kick-ready stance. The test instructor watching from the side lit up.

“start.”

The instructor’s order is gone.

“yes!”

With a strange elation, Sophie rotated her body and stretched out her sturdy legs.

A kick with plenty of power and sharpness. To the cadets who couldn’t follow her legs, the blurred outline of her legs looked like an awl.

Kwajik!

“Five…!”

An excellent back kick that is flawless.

The most bloody blows ever heard, some even exclaimed.

It was such a beautiful movement that no one had lewd thoughts, despite the tightly contracted hips and straight, smooth thighs.

Sophie removed her leg. The steel plate had dents in the shape of the soles of her shoes, and even left two large cracks running through the edges of the steel plate.

The color of the mark is bright red. It was the largest color change ever, and the extent also spread out in radiation, covering half of the steel plate.

“excellent.”

In response to the instructor’s praise, Sophie hesitantly bowed. It was an extremely naive reaction, in contrast to the wonderful appearance he had just shown.

Sophie let out a sigh of relief with her hands on her chest, and ran back to her place with a slightly reddened face.

Doyoon looked at her and nodded.

‘Good.’

Sophie’s movements were very good. It was a level that satisfied even the eyes of Do-yoon, who had watched countless geniuses for over a hundred years. He is a really coveted talent.

Perhaps, had it not been for Do-yoon, she would have easily occupied the top spot in this Jockey’s Cradle.

‘If I had been able to learn a little from Hecleos, it would have been a real masterpiece.’

It’s a meaningless assumption, but it was still very disappointing.

At that time, Sophie, who was returning to her seat, and Doyoon, who was watching her, met eyes for a moment.

‘yes?’

Startled, she immediately lowered her eyes.

Doyoon thought it was a coincidence and didn’t pay much attention.

‘Your eyes are unique.’

But even after that, Sophie kept glancing at Doyoon and fiddling with her little horn wrapped in cloth.

On the other hand, the instructors who watched her from a distance also gave the same evaluation as Do-yoon.

“He is a mouth-watering talent.”

“If nothing happens, she will be the chief of the jockey this time.”

“What is that friend’s name?”

The martial arts instructor next to me replied with a satisfied face.

“This is Cadet Sophie.”

Sophie was a talent that the martial arts instructor had been keeping an eye on since the first week. This is a fact that other instructors were also aware of.

Sure enough, Sophie did a great job in front of everyone, and he felt proud as if it was his job.

“It’s been a long time since a top candidate-level talent entered a martial arts class, right?”

“Yes. I think I will spend this jockey very rewardingly.”

There’s a bit of snobbish logic about guild spawns, but they’re basically instructors. These are the ones who make it their job to teach new apostles, and feel rewarded there.

Teaching talented people is always a pleasure and a pleasure. This is especially true in a field that suffers chronically from a talent drought, such as martial arts.

As a bonus, the closest position to the cadets is the instructor in charge of that position.

Networking with prospects has great value in itself. Besides, it would be perfect if it led to your own sponsor guild scouting.

‘When I look at the body balance alone… I don’t have a big advantage in martial arts, but my talent in each technique is so good that I completely ignore it. Sensation is also a sense, but the physical condition of the lower body is really an art.’

He was also looking at Sophie’s lower body with lustful eyes. Of course, it wasn’t male lust, but pure desire for talent as a martial arts instructor.

Next comes the turn of the Minotaur, who asked about the grater breaking earlier.

‘Well…!’

The archery instructor, who poured mana into it, admired again. Although not as good as Sophie, this Minotaur is also a very good talent.

The footprints and colors that Sophie had inscribed had already been restored on their own. It was like a special mana grater, a popular material for training grounds.

“start.”

Thick forearms and fists pulled back.

“Huh!”

cooong!

A heavy blow sounded in the hall.

“Wow…”

The depth of the steel plate was much shallower than Sophie’s. However, the width of the mark was wide due to the large fist, and it left a strong impression on many cadets.

However, she couldn’t crack the steel plate like Sophie did.

“excellent.”

Again, there was praise from the instructor. However, Thorn’s pride was hurt because he couldn’t break the steel plate, and he stomped back to his place with a frown on his face.

And the very next turn, Doyoon, passed him by.

“Lay on your back.”

The archery instructor put his hand on Doyoon’s back and poured mana into it.

‘Well…?’

he frowned.

‘Are the blood vessels clogged up?’

Not even the slightest amount of mana could enter his body, and all of it leaked out into the air.

‘A species without features. His muscles aren’t bad, but his hands look like they’ve never been trained. White skin that hasn’t been exposed to much outdoors. And mana crippled.’

The meaning of these characteristics was one.

‘He’s an earthling.’

Earth without mana, full of dust in the atmosphere. Earthlings who were born and raised there have clogged blood vessels due to dust, so nine out of ten start with the acquired attribute ‘mana deformity’.

They have to invest the first few months to pierce blood vessels, but even if they do, the potential is only modest.

From the guild’s point of view, the initial investment cost is high, but the return is low, an unpopular species, that is, a malicious sale.

‘It’s a race worthy of one holy power, but that’s a meaningless story right now.’

Not to mention a boss monster killer, he was a guy that even his own spawn guild, which was a small and medium sized guild, would refuse.

“Tsk.”

He openly kicked his tongue and patted Doyoon’s back! pushed

“…?”

Do-yoon was puzzled by the instructor’s attitude. did i do something wrong?

“What are you doing? to go forward.”

Do-yoon tilted his head at the instructor’s unusually cold attitude and headed in front of the steel plate.

The spearmanship instructor in charge of the test standing next to the steel plate shook his head when he saw the archery instructor like that. It is a problem that the author moves only with a snobbishness without the minimum duty as an instructor.

Anyway, the test instructor also roughly noticed the situation. Judging by his reaction, that cadet is probably mana crippled.

He has more experience than an archery instructor. After looking at the archery instructor’s autograph and Doyoon’s appearance, he was able to draw the same conclusion. is an earthling

Of course, he wasn’t being rude like an archery instructor. I just did the test in silence, not expecting much.

“Stand in front of the steel plate.”

Doyoon stood in front of the restored steel plate.

‘Still, since the status window clamored that it was Shin Soo-jong’s body… It was said that it was a new chick’s body, but I’m sure it’ll hold out for once.’

Doyoon closed his eyes, concentrated and inhaled.

“Sueuup…”

Hecleus’s formula.

Hecleos was one of Enoch’s companions 100 years ago, and was a man called King Kwon.

Emperor Hekleos, along with Sword Emperor Busker, was one of the greatest geniuses in Enoch’s life that spanned far over 100 years.

In fact, this fighting technique was not invented by the emperor himself, but rather a way of wielding his body according to his instincts. It was Enoch who even gave that movement a name.

‘But it was more destructive than any other martial art in the world, and it was heartbreaking.’

Without having been taught by anyone, I just swung my fists as inscribed in my instincts. And with that fist, he was called Kwonwang. Indeed, it could be said that he was an electrifying genius.

However, his fist was not passed down to the next generation even once among the 18 times Enoch lived.

Hekleos formula. This was, literally, a martial art that only Hecleos himself could use.

hit hard This simple and concise will is the musculature of the Hekleian type.

An overpowering martial art that focuses exclusively on destructive power. Therefore, it puts an excessively large burden on the caster’s body.

Countless martial arts talents have destroyed themselves trying to learn this martial art.

Only Hekleos’ solid body could withstand the recoil.

‘It wasn’t until the 15th round that I could barely imitate it.’

Indeed, how long can this new body last?

“Whoa…”

A deep breath escaped from his mouth. Dirt rose from the ground beneath his feet.

Even though it wasn’t a mana-loaded sound, it was a deep, heavy breath that resonated throughout the playground.

‘Hmm…?’

Only then did the instructor in charge of the test standing next to him, as well as several instructors with a lot of experience and skill, sensed it.

A large amount of oxygen brought in by deep breathing. The muscles of the whole body sucked it in as if it were possessed. A weak steam rises from the overheated muscles.

Doyoon closed his eyes, lowered his posture, and pulled his right hand back.

The test instructor who saw that posture stood out.

‘Whoa… Look at this?’

Arms spread out, legs firmly fixed like pine trees. A solid waist even when twisted to the limit. The muscles of the upper body twitched with the momentum to fire the right hand like a cannon.

And… the power he felt from his right fist, which was loaded next to his waist, could be said to be thuggish.

‘They said he was handsome… wasn’t he an Earthling, but a nobleman from the world of Moorim?’

However, since it was said to be mana crippled, it would not be able to produce very good grades.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, they can’t compare to a mana-enhanced body.

“start!”

The instructor gave the start order, and Doyoon’s bloodshot eyes flashed open.

No one in this place knew. The sights they will see, how valuable they are.

‘Hecleus’s formula.’

In front of their eyes, the fist of Kwon was about to be fired.

‘Jeonggwon (正拳).’

The one who throws out that fist is Enoch Roosevolnik.

No one knew.

Kwaaaang-!!
