Chapter 199. Professor of Enhancent Magic (1)
“Anyway, now that we are up, it’s nice.”
“Indeed, the view is great.”
Pasion and Anesha, having eaten the iced coffee and sandwiches Radel shared, soon recovered their energy.
After taking a rest, they seed to have the leeway to look around, as the two were admiring the scenery unfolding below the mountain.
Just in ti, a cool breeze blew and cooled the sweat on their foreheads.
The three sat in the shade and enjoyed a peaceful rest.
“It is hard when climbing the mountain, but once up, it feels rewarding.”
“Right. Senior Shartea should be here at a ti like this, where did she go?”
To think Senior Shartea, who actually decided the mountain as the place for this Grade Representative eting, wasn’t here.
At Pasion’s words, Radel stood up from his seat.
“I will go find the Senior. Please wait for a mont.”
Leaving Anesha and Pasion to rest in the shade, Radel set out to find Shartea.
It wasn’t that difficult since he just had to follow the flow of mana.
“Senior Shartea, you were here.”
Shartea was not far away.
“There were annoying fellows when I ca earlier, so I checked. I just scared them away.”
Scared them away?
Hearing those words and looking at the ground, he saw footprints that indeed seed to belong to a magical beast.
Looking at the size, it was at least dium-sized or larger.
Like a Cryptozoology major, Radel quickly guessed the na of the magical beast.
“It is a Black Grizzly Bear.”
“You recognize it well.”
To chase away a magical beast of this level with just aura without even drawing a sword.
As expected of Senior Shartea.
They said the best swordsman subdues the opponent with just well-honed aura.
Truly the state of Heart Sword.
The person with the most outstanding swordsmanship among the people Radel had seen here was Shartea.
She was also the teacher who personally taught Radel Imperial Swordsmanship.
Shartea looked at Radel and asked.
“How is your achievent in Imperial Swordsmanship these days?”
At the sudden question, Radel was speechless.
In fact, recently he hadn’t been able to advance the Imperial Swordsmanship.
Through morning training and actual combat experienced in Combat Magic major classes, he went up to C-rank easily, but he couldn’t go beyond that.
As Radel thought about Imperial Swordsmanship, the status window ca to mind.
DING.
[Imperial Swordsmanship (C)]
Swordsmanship created for the imperial family of the Empire.
Those who wish to wear the crown, bear its weight.
There is no way to avoid the overwhelming weight in front of this swordsmanship.
Block (50,000/50,000)
Slash (50,000/50,000)
Thrust (50,000/50,000)
Facing the Sword (0/1)
What was blocking the advancent of Imperial Swordsmanship was the last item.
Facing the Sword.
Radel couldn’t understand what it ant to face the sword.
He tried staring at the sword alone with it stuck in the ground, and tried training Imperial Swordsmanship again from the beginning.
However, since Imperial Swordsmanship had already been embodied in his body for a long ti, nothing improved just by training more.
Then there was no choice but to ask his teacher.
Radel spoke vaguely for Senior Shartea’s understanding, who didn’t know about skills.
“I definitely thought I had embodied all of Imperial Swordsmanship…… but I feel blocked by an invisible wall.”
“Invisible wall?”
Shartea’s eyes glead.
Seeing Radel already hitting a limit not long after teaching him Imperial Swordsmanship, she could know he had trained diligently in the anti.
Shartea felt proud of Radel, who was sincere about swordsmanship.
“Yes, sohow it is vague, but I get the thought that I must face the sword. But I don’t know how to do it.”
“Is that so.”
Shartea turned her eyes away from Radel and looked at the sky.
There was a ti when she also hit that wall.
Although it was a story from more than 10 years ago…….
A childhood where things around her broke as soon as she manifested her ability.
Where everything shattered just by touching.
When she crushed even her older brother’s hand, Shartea couldn’t bear it and ran away.
‘Look, Thea. Older brother is okay.’
‘……That is a lie.’
‘Really. Older brother doesn’t care even if Thea becos incredibly strong. It is better than you getting hurt.’
What her older brother held out to her, who was hiding and sobbing, was a sword.
‘I got it with difficulty from a Dungeon. They say it is made of tal that absolutely never breaks, so you will be able to wield it.’
That was the first sword Shartea held.
And one year later, the Imperial Knight Commander swore loyalty to her.
Shartea smiled while recalling the events of that ti.
The sword, which she started to control her power sohow at first, led her here.
It was no different from her older brother opening that beginning.
‘Although older brother seems to have completely forgotten.’
After organizing her mories, she looked at her half-brother whom she taught directly.
“Right. You have already reached there.”
Radel’s golden eyes were seeking an answer.
But that answer wasn’t with Shartea.
“What do you think a sword is?”
At Shartea’s question, Radel was flustered.
It was natural, but he had never thought about what a sword was.
As if expecting such a reaction from Radel, Shartea added.
“You will have to find that first.”
It was advice whose aning he couldn’t understand yet.
* * *
“Radel! Senior Shartea!”
A voice looking for the two was heard from afar.
It seed Anesha and Pasion ca out to look for them since Radel, who said he would bring Senior Shartea, didn’t return even after ti passed.
“Let’s go back quickly.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Shartea and Radel headed to where Anesha and Pasion were.
“Oh right, I heard you went to the Esven Marquisate after receiving an invitation.”
“You heard. I went a few days ago.”
“Right. How was it?”
For Senior Shartea to ask such a thing.
Radel answered diligently while thinking it was unexpected.
“It was fun. There were many fascinating things too.”
“……It is the first ti that guy interacted with another royal.”
Shartea’s eyes narrowed as if gauging sothing.
Then she asked this.
“In your view, does that guy seem to have the qualifications to beco Emperor?”
Although Radel was inwardly surprised, he didn’t show it and opened his mouth calmly.
“I think the reasons for him to beco one are sufficient.”
It was the first ti having such a conversation between royals.
Especially Radel, who didn’t even think Senior Shartea would bring up a topic related to the throne first.
Having heard Radel’s answer, Shartea turned her head to a distant place and said.
“Every royal probably has their own reasons to beco Emperor. Not wanting to beco Emperor is what’s strange.”
At that mont, the image of Senior Shartea telling the 2nd Prince she didn’t want to beco Emperor ca to Radel’s mind.
It was a story he unintentionally overheard while moving through secret passages in the 8th Prince’s Palace.
Thanks to that, Radel could guess her heart.
“I don’t think so. Just because one is a royal doesn’t an they necessarily have to beco Emperor. Even just for , living comfortably is the goal.”
Shartea smirked hearing Radel’s answer.
“The Emperor’s position isn’t comfortable. I wish Older Brother would think even half as much as you.”
DING.
[The target’s affinity breaks through 10.]
[The target’s affinity has beco 30.]
At the sa ti, Senior Shartea’s affinity went up at once.
Then she even threw a joke at Radel first.
“Sohow, if it’s you, it seems you would figure out a way to live comfortably even if you beca Emperor.”
“Is that so.”
Radel smiled.
It was certain that Senior Shartea’s atmosphere had changed more comfortably than before.
“Senior! Radel!”
Pasion and Anesha’s voices were getting closer.
The mont Radel was about to answer towards the seniors, Shartea said.
“If you want to deal with Estina, it would be better to learn Enhancent Magic quickly.”
Radel instinctively felt she was trying to give him important advice and shut his mouth.
“However, it won’t be easy. When dealing with the Enhancent Magic professor, think that you are dealing with a magical beast, not a person.”
* * *
Enhancent Magic ti.
Students who ca to take Enhancent Magic were gathered in a clearing deep inside the Academy forest.
There were almost no first-years, and mainly upperclassn were many.
Due to the characteristic of the Academy where majors are decided from the second sester of the first year, students usually took subjects related to their major in the beginning.
Magic that enhances physical ability wasn’t such a popular subject except for Combat Magic majors or Cryptozoology majors who had to deal with magical beasts directly.
Among those few first-years, Radel was also included.
Gusto was also with Radel.
“Enhancent Magic……. I look forward to what kind of magic it will be.”
As an apprentice holy knight, Gusto had a lot of interest in magic that increased physical ability.
“I saw Leon use it before. He enhanced his legs and produced trendous speed.”
“Prince Leon must have learned Enhancent Magic too. I didn’t know he would be interested even in this kind of magic.”
At Gusto’s words, Radel recalled the image of Leon chasing after him at trendous speed on the 20th floor.
Since he was a guy who realized magic on his own just by looking at books, learning it wouldn’t have been difficult.
“Isn’t it because using magic is much easier for that guy than training his body?”
“Oh my. He is soone who doesn’t know how noble steady training is.”
Seeing him praise the power and beauty of muscles given by the Supre Deity, he thought Gusto was indeed a mber of the apprentice holy knights.
While Radel was talking briefly with Gusto, the sound of seniors chatting was heard from the side.
“Can we learn Enhancent Magic this ti? We failed last sester.”
“I couldn’t even go near the professor at all.”
“Listening to kids who succeeded, they said you just have to not give up.”
What does this an?
Radel listened carefully to the seniors’ words that they couldn’t even go near the professor.
“Honestly, how do you beat the professor?”
“Right. Didn’t even Combat Magic majors give up saying it’s hard.”
“Still, it would be nice if we could just learn it.”
Beat the professor……?
It seed it could be a thod of teaching through sparring.
‘Perhaps his whole body might be muscles like Professor Donton Murr.’
Radel nodded naturally imagining a professor with huge muscles.
However, what appeared in front of them was a professor with a small physique.
On top of that, the professor was wearing a helt so large that he couldn’t see ahead.
“I am Beven Hardium who teaches Enhancent Magic. As you can see, I am a dwarf.”
A gruff voice rang from inside the helt.
‘Dwarf?’
Radel examined the Enhancent Magic professor who introduced himself as a dwarf.
However, since his face was hidden by the helt and not visible, he couldn’t gauge if he was really a dwarf or simply had a small body.
“Just because you take the lecture doesn’t an I teach Enhancent Magic to every student. There are tons of guys who go back without learning Enhancent Magic until the end.”
Professor Beven added curtly.
“If you want to learn Enhancent Magic, you just have to succeed in catching . The thod doesn’t matter. I will use Enhancent Magic, and the difference would be that you guys can’t use it.”
It was an abrupt remark, but Radel understood quickly.
So he ans let’s play tag right now.
