Chapter 43 - Training
“Ha ha...”
Seeing Jimin's surprised eyes wide open, Seo-joon laughed awkwardly.
Seo-joon was just adding a little thought based on the knowledge he had learned from Merlin, but he didn't expect to be surprised that much.
In fact, it was natural for Jimin to think that way.
The lectures at the Transcendent Academy are literally lectures for transcendentalists.
All the contents of the lecture could be seen as things that a transcendentalist could think and do, and of course it transcended Jimin's thoughts and knowledge.
“How could you come up with an idea like this?”
But Jimin, unaware of that fact, just looked at Seo-joon as if he were a genius who would never come again.
And while looking at him like that, a question flashed through Seo-jun's mind.
‘If knowledge is considered as a commodity... what about the tuition fees I receive from teaching people?'
In a way, it seems to be in the same context as the money received while lending Kibisis for research, but upon closer inspection, it was quite different.
That would be the case, too, because Kibisis was lending the item itself, but this was to share Seo-jun's knowledge... so to sell.
Of course, strictly speaking, it was correct that it was Merlin's knowledge, not Seo-jun's.
However, the moment I acquired and learned it, it could be said that it was Seo-jun's knowledge.
The hypothesis about the distortion of the dungeon that he just spit out without going far was Seo-jun's idea, not Merlin's.
Therefore, unlike the equipment in the transcendent shop, the knowledge that Seo-joon realized through his efforts was obviously highly likely to be applied in a different meaning.
In order to do so, there was a premise that Seo-joon should be able to understand and teach Merlin's words, not just follow them.
‘Above all, it's about trying to learn from me, a student...'
When Seo-jun glanced down, Jimin's eyes were shining like starlight.
Sure enough, Jimin immediately poured out various questions to Seojun.
Starting with various theories of justice about mana and laws.
what do you think of this Even hypotheses about what you think about that.
It was obvious, but most of them were related to magic science, and Seo-joon answered as much as he could within the limits of his knowledge.
I didn't know if Jimin could ask for lessons if I did well.
“Ha ha... I don't know about that.”
But, again, there were obvious limitations.
No matter how shabby he was compared to Merlin, Jimin was a person called the next generation's demon.
On the other hand, Seo-joon is an ordinary professional hunter who does not know anything about magic.
It was impossible to satisfy Jimin's intellectual desire with the theory that the progress rate of the Merlin River was only 17.9%.
“Perhaps... you don't know much about the concept of magic.”
Jimin didn't ask any more questions.
“But it was a really unexpected idea. Hmm… I need to research this properly.”
Then, without hesitation, Jimin turned around.
He turned his back coldly, as if he had no reason to be here any longer, since his business was over.
“Then I go. I'll invite you to the lab later.”
left just like that
The image of Jimin leaving without hesitation.
Seo-joon stared blankly at him and spat out words.
“......Contrary to the image you see in the media, you are a very unique person.”
“My sister hears things like that a lot. That’s why sometimes I wonder if I’m really demonic.”
Seoyoon nodded as if she understood, and Seojun shrugged once more.
Sword Saint Calia and Demonic Disciple.
Seo-joon has already met three people who are difficult to meet once in his life.
‘I don't know if a great voice will come later.'
Seojun shook his head.
Dream Academy, where Jimin left, has returned to normal daily life after a long time.
“one!”
Of course, it may not have been ordinary to others, but it was a peaceful and normal daily life for Seo-jun and Seo-yoon.
“two!”
One difference was that Seo-joon carried out the task by hanging a kibisis, not an iron attachment, anymore.
Chiron's task, in which the efficiency increases rapidly as the weight increases.
Therefore, Seo-joon has been carrying out his assignments by attaching metal parts to his body, but there were limitations due to spatial constraints.
However, Kibisis had no such restrictions, so now Seo-joon was able to complete all assignments quickly.
Of course, I had to carry out the task using the power of reverse divergence on the heavier weight.
Shortly after that, Seo-joon was able to complete all the assignments for each lecture.
thud.
When Seo-jun put down the kibisis, a vibration echoed, suggesting the weight contained in it.
Seo-joon stared blankly at Kibesis, then picked up his smartphone and connected to the transcendent academy.
Then, he immediately took lectures in the order of Chiron Shakyamuni and Hangwoo Merlin.
[I'm sure by this point you've got some understanding of intuition. But don't be complacent about understanding your intuition. The intuition you have just learned is literally the process of transcendental ‘initiation'. So this time, I'll tell you how to understand that intuition and raise your proficiency.]
“Can you raise your sensory proficiency?”
[The essence and definition of being. who am i really I hope you keep asking this question. It's a question that is always asked in the transcendental exam, and each transcendentalist has its own answer.]
“It's the answer to who I am...”
[There are various ways to handle the spear. It's not all about wielding it recklessly. It's different when you're fighting short-term battles versus when you're dealing with multiple people, and when you're on the plains, it's different when you wield spears while riding a horse. Today, I will teach you spear techniques for each situation. First, it was a short-term skirmish.]
“......What did you just do?”
[Understanding mana is no different from understanding the world. There are probably many cases where superhumans who are not magicians also listen to his lectures, but it will be very helpful when learning how to practice mana later, so I hope you pay attention.] “I think I'm going crazy...
”
.
.
The lecture was all over.
< Chiron Lecture Progress 62.8% (+0.7%) >
< Sakyamuni Lecture Progress 14.5% (+0.1%) >
< Hangwu Lecture Progress 69.2% (+0.5%) >
< Merlin Lecture Progress 18.1% (+0.2%) >
“Hmm ...”
Seo-joon was lost in thought as he watched the progress of the lecture.
“The progress is too slow...”
< The remaining period until the end of the member's free pass: 25 days. >
Seo-joon checked the remaining free pass period.
Free pass period with only 25 days left.
And classes that haven't been completed yet.
“I want to finish at least one lecture before the free pass ends.”
Seojun checked the progress of the lecture once again.
Looking at the progress, it was easy to say that Shakyamuni and Merlin were impossible.
However, 60% of Chiron and Hangwoo were possible.
It is also true that the current progress was the result of 65 days.
Even if you just calculate it, it is about 1% on average per day.
Of course, the remaining free pass period was 25 days, and time was tight.
“Hangwoo and Chiron for the rest of the year. I think it will be possible if I focus on the two lectures.”
If you focus on two lectures or just one lecture, the possibilities are sufficient.
“Hmm... but is there any need for that?”
But Seo-joon couldn't make a hasty decision.
Because in fact, it didn't matter much if I didn't finish the lecture.
It's not like, if you repurchase the free pass, you can continue to listen to the lecture, but I thought that there was a need to cram.
But there were also parts that I just couldn't think of.
It's not that I don't know what the price of the free pass is.
“I'm sure it will exceed a billion units...”
However, Seo-jun had about 25 million won in his account.
Raising a billion units in 25 days is practically impossible.
In other words, there was a very high possibility that Seo-jun could not repurchase the free pass right away in time for the expiration of the free pass.
So, I thought that it would be easier to collect cause and effect for the next free pass if I completed the lectures of Chiron or Hangu before the free pass was over.
“Anyway, it is correct to focus on the two lectures, but...”
The problem was that even if you concentrate, you cannot guarantee whether you will be able to complete the course or not.
After thinking this far, Seo-jun turned his head and looked for Seo-yoon.
Then, far away, Seoyoon was sitting at her desk, contemplating something.
Seo-joon strode towards Seo-yoon.
“Mr. Seoyoon. I have something to ask you.”
But Seoyoon has no answer what is going on.
“Umm... what should I do?”
To be precise, it wasn't that there was no answer, but it seemed that Seo-joon didn't even know what to say.
Sure enough, Seoyoon's muttering followed.
“When new students come in, I can’t teach them alone, so I have to hire an instructor…”
“Mr. Seoyoon?”
“But I can't just invite anyone... and how much do I have to pay... Ha, do I have to run a raid again...”
Seo-yoon let out a deep sigh while saying that.
Seojun slightly raised his voice.
“Mr. Seoyoon!”
“hot! yes yes? Did you call Boo?”
Then, Seoyoon raised her head in surprise.
Seo-joon spoke to Seo-yoon with a smile leaking out for nothing.
“What are you thinking, but there is no answer when I call.”
“That… Actually, I was planning to recruit students. But I had a problem like this, so I was thinking about it for a while...”
“Ah... I see.”
Somehow, Seoyoon seemed busy these days, so it must have been because of that.
Seoyoon smiled shyly and continued.
“By the way... what's going on?”
“Oh, I was wondering if there is an academy competition scheduled in the near future.”
“An academy contest?”
“yes. Like the last academy contest or the recent dungeon clearing contest.”
Currently, Seo-joon's goal is to complete at least one lecture within the remaining free pass period.
And the best way to increase the progress rate of the lecture was the actual battle, and in fact, it was the case in all cases where Seojun significantly increased the progress rate of the lecture.
There was also a way to repeat the dungeon raid over and over again.
However, as I experienced in the dungeon clearing contest, the 1-2 star dungeons did not give me much experience.
At least I had to go to a 4-star dungeon, but the dungeons that paid that kind of money were very competitive, and there were only 1 or 2 at most per day.
And above all, there was a winning prize in the competition.
A chance to catch both lecture progress and money at the same time.
Therefore, the best option for Seo-joon at the moment was to participate in the academy competition.
“In the near future, when are you talking about?”
Seojun answered after thinking about the free pass period.
“Within 20 days.”
“20 days... 20 days schedule...”
Seoyoon took out her smartphone.
And after some time
“No.”
Seoyoon shook her head slowly.
“Ah… isn’t it?”
“yes. Everything is packed into next month. I don’t think there are any competition schedules because this is the season to prepare for the new semester.”
Seo-joon felt like he was losing his pulse somewhere.
In this case, in the end, only lectures and dungeon raids had to be repeated to increase the progress of the lectures.
“There is a mock test held at Hunter Mill next month...”
“A mock test...”
A mock test.
It literally meant a ‘mock' test, not a real test.
And the reason for its existence was the same as other mock tests.
The pro hunter exam only once a year.
If you fail once, you have to wait another year, so the pressure of the test was really great.
In other words, there were a lot of students who failed to show their skills properly due to tension.
Accordingly, each Hunter Academy made its own mock test to practice students in advance.
Therefore, the mock exams for each academy were also different.
However, Hunter Mill Ale Gaon, which is called Korea's three major academies.
The mock exams held at these three places were open to all students, so the scale was so large that it almost resembled a competition.
It is said that the score of this mock test is the same as the score of the pro hunter test.
Therefore, it was clear that a large number of students who surpassed Lee Jun-hwan would participate in this mock test.
The prize money is also quite large in the form of a scholarship, and above all, it should be able to increase the progress of the lecture.
‘I wonder if it's next month...'
However, the next month when the mock test was held was the end of the free pass period.
He would participate, but it didn't mean much to Seo-joon now.
“......there's nothing we can do.”
Seo-jun could not hide his regret.
‘I'm going to try it for now.'
Seojun immediately picked up his smartphone and connected to the transcendent academy again.
It was just to soften the lectures of Chiron and Hangwu.
I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I decided to try it, so I had to do my best.
Seojun first gave a lecture on Keiron's lecture.
.
.
[First, understanding of intuition. Um... Do any of the students question the title of this lecture? It is the ‘essential lecture for introductory combat transcendentalists.' title.]
[Understanding intuition starts with this question. Now, what does it mean to be a combat transcendent? Yes. Transcendence of the combat profession. If not, what is the transcendence of the combat profession? Typically, it can be divided into two types. A superman and a wizard.]
[You can relate to the superman having to learn intuition. So what about the wizard? Do they need intuition too? My answer can be found in the lecture title. ‘Required lecture for introductory combat transcendentalists.']
[Magic is a single spell. I don't know complicated theories, but I do know this one. Spells aren't perfect.]
[Spells are one of many laws. Think about it, what would you do if a phenomenon that overturned the magic formula occurred? What judgment will you make in front of a law you have never experienced before?]
[What if Mana is in a twisted state? What if the chant or mana is restricted? What if right after an explosion of magic that shakes even the laws?]
[The spell isn't perfect. It can be twisted and wrong at any time. Depending on the ever-changing situation, the technique also changes.]
[And what is needed in that situation is intuition. Keep in mind that intuition can exist as a law by itself.]
“......It's a question I've never thought about before. Transcendentalists are truly amazing.”
Seo-jun fell in love with Keiron's lecture.
Chiron's lecture ended after such a long time.
Seo-joon then watched Hang-woo's lecture.
however.
[Oh. I know that the transcendental test mock exam is coming soon.]
Chiron's last words made Seo-jun stop.
Chiron's words continued.
[Perhaps there are students taking mock exams among them. What I would like to ask you is not to be too obsessed with mock test scores. Mock exams are mock exams, so let's see it in the next lecture.]
.
.
.
So the lecture is over.
“......Were there mock exams for the transcendental exam?”
Seojun had no choice but to open his eyes.
