Chapter 6

After training, Si-Jun Park stopped by the instructor’s office and headed to the dormitory.

In his hand was a gift from the instructor.

‘This is a gift… … .’

What he received was a necklace.

It seems to be symbolic as it was used by the head of the training camp in the past.

‘What does that have to do with me?’

Park Si-jun sighed and picked up his reader.

On the screen, the 10th Circle Archmage was returning and coming out. It’s almost the last page.

‘Have you read it three times now?’

With each read, immersion rose between 0.2 and 1 percent.

Instead, it didn’t improve at all.

The immersion level of this book now is 9.8%. If you read this alone, the immersion level will exceed 10%.

‘Will something change?’

Park Si-jun had such expectations.

Since we are moving from a single digit to a double digit number, maybe something will change.

An expectation that is close to hope.

‘I wish I could.’

Park Si-jun headed to the training room.

He felt like he had neglected his exercise these days because he only read novels every day. He was planning to train by himself in order to learn the samjae sword technique.

But there were passengers.

A woman with black short hair reaching her shoulders and a trained body covered with training clothes.

She was watching Lee Min-ah sharply at her scarecrow, exhaling her long breath.

‘Are you doing any swordsmanship training?’

He was just trying to ignore it, but he got curious.

Park Si-jun watched Lee Min-ah’s training for a moment.

“…hmm!”

With a brief cheer, Lee Min-ah swung her sword.

And in an instant, the sword faded and disappeared.

spatula! When she woke up, her scarecrow had already fallen into pieces.

‘What did you do? Did you learn something new?’

Park Si-jun frowned.

He watched without blinking, but saw nothing.

Only the faint scent of plum blossoms brushed the tip of his nose.

[Maehwa sword method.]

‘Huh?’

Then, suddenly, knowledge popped into my head.

[Swordsmanship using a phantom sword to deceive the eyes and a mountain sword aimed at the loopholes of revenge.][Gilcheon took on the scent of plum blossoms that brushes the tip of his nose. That faint scent, it was enough to make him for a moment mistakenly think he was in Taowon-hyang.]

It was a scene from a swordsman who had been training for a thousand years.

Come to think of it, Gilcheon also had several fights with the volcanic masters who used the plum sword technique.

‘Then is that the plum blossom sword method?’

I don’t know if that plum blossom sword technique and the web novel’s plum blossom sword technique are the same, but they were similar.

Lee Min-ah slowly lowered her sword.

She turned her back to drink her water for a moment, and her eyes met her Park Si-joon’s.

Her eyes were rounded.

“It’s been a while. You haven’t seen me lately.”

“I’m a little busy.”

Park Si-jun’s answer was blunt.

Lee Min-ah and he were not very close, but when they met, they greeted each other.

‘We should meet once or twice.’

Park Si-joon was a hard worker enough to be called a dog breed, and Lee Min-ah also trained in swordsmanship until late.

As a result, we met frequently in the training room, and we exchanged greetings with each other.

“Can I get you a towel?”

“No, it’s not over yet.”

Lee Min-ah rejected her offer and started wielding her sword again. Park Si-joon did not recommend any further.

“I think it’s a little different from the usual training.”

“Yeah, this is the training that my mastermind tells me to practice the swordsmanship he sponsored.”

“okay?”

How much is the plum blossom sword method converted into grades?

If it was the strength that came from a swordsman who had been training for a thousand years, it seemed that an A-grade would be enough.

‘The swordsman has few contractors, but he said that it is a backstory that gives generously to those who have signed the contract.’

It is said that if she gave her plum blossom sword technique to her only temporary contractor, Lee Min-ah, she appreciated her.

The possibility of signing a formal contract seemed high.

‘If it was a few days ago, I would have been very envious.’

I didn’t feel anything.

Because he also had a special characteristic that he couldn’t convert into a grade.

“Then do your best.”

Park Si-jun went to the corner.

He could have trained alongside Lee Min-ah, but he wasn’t close enough to her.

‘All that’s left is… page 4.’

Before starting training, Si-Jun Park read the rest of the pages of Circle 10 The Return of the Great Mage.

This is an epilogue that I have read many times already.

At first there was some excitement, but now there is none. It just reads like a machine.

[The 10th Circle Archmage Returns has been read 4 times. Increases immersion. Immersion 10.2%.]

The increase in immersion was not high.

However, since it has surpassed 10%, maybe something will change.

Park Si-jun waited for the message.

And after a while.

[Immersion has exceeded 10%. You can receive the quest of the 10th Circle Archmage.]

The message you’ve been waiting for appears.

[The quest of the 10th Circle Archmage has arrived.][Quest: How to deal with the heart.]

You must learn to handle the magic heart. Let’s train the heart using the magic breathing method.

-Reward: Relevant titles, character enhancements, new skills.

Park Si-joon’s eyes widened.

‘Are you giving me a quest even though there is no background?’

Quests are given by the mastermind, and if you do what they tell you, you can receive a reward.

Of course, in the Abyss, you can do other quests besides what the behind the scenes give you. But on Earth, there is nothing else to do except what the hinterland gives.

That’s what Park Si-joon received now.

‘You can get a title by clearing the quest… … .’

From character enhancement to new skills.

The trait is probably the magic heart. all good

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

‘The question is, what is the magic breathing method.’

Park Si-jun sat down on the floor.

The magic heart contains the knowledge of the great. Of course, the great man was referring to the dragon.

‘How can I get knowledge?’

The only knowledge in my head is the knowledge of using Dissolve, Chain Lightning, and Blade Sharp.

no other knowledge But there is something to point out.

‘What the protagonist of the novel did was the magic breathing method.’

Park Si-joon slowly crossed his legs.

In the novel, how did he use the magic breathing method?

‘The description was very brief.’

The novel emphasized breathing control.

Concentrate on your in-breath and out-breath, and feel the flow of magical power that moves with each inhalation and exhalation.

Park Si-jun maintained a constant breathing in the most comfortable position possible.

He rests, exhales, rests, exhales. The process was repeated.

‘Move.’

Then I felt the magic in my body move.

It is a body that has already used magic in the first place.

Thanks to this, I was able to feel the magic relatively easily.

‘And, it comes in.’

As I inhaled and exhaled, I could feel the energy coming in and out.

‘Captures incoming magic and minimizes outgoing magic. Was that the principle?’

The explanation was so brief that I wasn’t sure.

But it’s worth a try.

Park Si-joon controlled his magic by repeating inhalation and exhalation.

‘The magic that comes in through the breath into the heart.’

He suppressed the magical power that went out with his exhalation as much as possible and made it spread throughout his body.

Koo! thud!

Then I felt my heart beating fast.

The magical heart greedily devoured the magical powers that flocked to him.

Park Si-joon kept repeating the breathing technique, feeling like a mother bird feeding the baby birds.

how long has it been

thump, thump.

My heart, which was beating hard, returned to normal.

Even when fed with magic, it rejected the magic like a hungry child refusing to eat.

[The Magic Heart has enough magical power. The amount of magic power has increased by 1% and the power has been refined.]

After a while, such a message appeared.

[You have completed How to Handle the Heart.][Title: Heir has been acquired as a reward.][A new effect is added to Magic Heart.][New skill: Magical breathing method has been learned.]

Park Si-jun quickly confirmed the reward.

[Heir (B)]

inherited the legacy of the great.

-Effect: Intellect +5%, chanting speed +5%

It was a very good title.

If your INT +5%, it will increase the INT of the current status window by 5%.

Of course, the higher the intelligence, the better the effect.

[Magic Heart (C+)]

It was the heart of a great man, but it was weakened by an unknown force. The knowledge and magical powers of the great are flowing.

-Effect: Magic power +5%, chanting speed +5%, magic amount +11%, magical knowledge, excellent concentration.

-Skills: Dissolve, Chain Lightning, Blade Sharp, Magical Breathing.

[Magic Breathing Method: Uses the magic breathing method to strengthen the heart and refine the magic. The breathing method itself is nothing special, but your heart is making the ordinary breathing method special.]

A new effect has been added to Magic Heart.

Excellent concentration. I didn’t know what this meant. Does it help when using magic?

‘Anyway, one thing is certain.’

A dark smile appeared on the corner of Park Si-joon’s lips.

‘This is a jackpot.’

That was for sure.

* * *

The training room was quiet with Si-Jun Park and Lee Min-Ah.

There are new guests there.

“Hey, Joonghyun-ah, are you tired today? Training with Lee Min-ah is just…”

“Don’t float too much. It’s not that great. It’s all thanks to the master behind the scenes. It’s been well supported.”

“Your brother is also very humble.”

It was Han Jung-hyun and his comrades.

Lee Min-ah, who was wielding her sword alone, narrowed her forehead.

‘People I don’t like… … .’

A sigh came out on its own.

I tried to ignore them and continue training, but I couldn’t.

“Oh, Minah. I was here.”

Because Han Joong-hyun spoke to me.

Lee Min-ah looked at him reluctantly.

“…I see you many times today.”

“Isn’t it too much with the same class? We had a good match today. It was a draw.”

“You didn’t even show the skills you saw in the first place, did you?”

“Isn’t that the same for Minah?”

Han Jung-hyun asked with a smile.

However, Lee Min-na is a rival to each other.

It’s not even a test, so there’s no need to show off your skills.

‘The man I don’t like… … .’

Lee Min-ah clicked her tongue into her.

Han Joong-hyun is kind and kind, and he is popular with people.

But strangely, he didn’t like her. Is it something you don’t want to be friends with?

“You train like that during the day and then you train again?”

“There’s nothing good about being lazy. There’s something I got from Mr. Hae-sung. I’ll stop now.”

“Why did I come?”

“Yes.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Lee Min-ah answered right away, and Han Joong-hyun laughed bitterly.

“It always looks like a knife. So… Huh? Were there any others?”

Han Joong-hyun, who was looking around, noticed Park Si-joon’s presence. He was sitting cross-legged in the corner, concentrating on something.

“Yeah, I didn’t know it was still there.”

“Park Si-Jun. He doesn’t come to the training ground often these days.”

“You say you only read novels every day?”

A woman came out and intervened.

It was a lecture that followed Han Jung-hyun.

“novel?”

“Yeah, oppa. They read only novels on the tablet behind the scenes.”

“Did you give up after getting an F grade?”

Han Jung-hyun tilted his head.

Reading novels as a hobby. Even then, reading novels without attending classes.

Lee Min-ah ignored Han Jung-hyun and looked at Park Si-joon. He was sitting cross-legged, concentrating on something.

‘It’s not really close friends.’

When I saw Park Si-joon, I felt something like poison. Lee Min-ah, a poison similar to the one she has.

“What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you just meditating?”

Everyone was puzzled by Park Si-joon’s actions. It seemed to them that they were simply meditating.

“Oppa, are you really going to train? Let’s just rest. Huh?”

“No, I have no intention of training. I came here for business…”

Han Joong-hyun glanced at Lee Min-ah.

“You don’t have to. Let’s go.”

Although Park Si-jun’s behavior was curious, it was not worth paying attention to.

‘F grade anyway.’

Because he’s going to retire soon.

Han Jung-hyun and the others left the training room. The only ones left in the training room are Lee Min-ah and Park Si-joon.

‘meditation?’

Lee Min-ah watched Park Si-joon carefully.

‘no. That’s… … .’

Her eyes were round like that.

I could feel the magic power moving violently around Park Si-joon. He also absorbs magic power.

‘Magic breathing method? No, but.’

She’s been told she’s obviously not behind the scenes.

And in the first place, the magic breathing method is a skill that recovers the used magic, not by absorbing it and making it your own.

‘Park Si-Jun is making his magic his own.’

Lee Min-ah was confused.

And after a while, Si-Jun Park exhaled a long breath and opened his closed eyes.

There was a deep smile on his lips.

He has a smile with a sense of accomplishment that he has accomplished something.

‘Is that the smile of a desperate man?’

it was never Rather than despair, it was a smile full of anticipation and a sense of accomplishment.

‘… Interesting.’

Lee Min-ah’s eyes looking at Park Si-joon were curious.

I wondered why a man without a background would smile like that.

‘For now, let’s watch.’

Lee Min-ah looked at Park Si-joon in a hurry.

Park Si-jun was still smiling, not even dreaming that someone was looking at him.
