Chapter 135

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Richard Park was consistent in not knowing.

However, even if I chose the wrong opponent, I chose the wrong one for a long time.

Undoubtedly, he had no way of knowing Min-joon’s identity, so he thought he could just remain ignorant.

In response, Minjun could not stay still.

“The person who understands this hypothesis more than anyone else shouldn’t talk like that.”

“What is the basis for that?”

“According to the papers you have published so far, there are many parts that briefly hinted at some such grounds. Such as the urban phenomenon caused by cracks, or the monster transformation phenomenon caused by the backward flow of demonic energy. They were justifiable grounds.”

“… Have you ever referred to my thesis?”

“Yes, I’ve referred to it a few times when I had nothing to do at the library.”

Of course, this is a blatant lie.

Richard Park’s dissertations, which amount to as many as 46 volumes, are even tongue-in-cheek among faculty members.

Min-joon only vaguely remembers the passages from the original work, and spat out them at a shallow level.

Only Richard Park can judge this.

‘Did I say too much.’

Of course, as it was vaguely expressed in the original work.

At the World Hunter Federation Conference, Richard Park once uttered the ‘magic migration theory’, in which the airflow of the demons slightly widens the movement route every year.

However, federal countermeasure officials in each country did not take it lightly on the ‘magic transfer theory’ or actively accept his opinion.

So, there is a bar that was briefly expressed in the thesis data he presented.

Of course, the contents of the other papers were so vast that no one had engraved them.

From Richard Park’s point of view, Min-jun seemed to be suspicious.

‘Have you read my vast thesis?’

To him, Cha Min-joon’s eyes didn’t look like he was lying.

That would be too.

Not only had there been no one who had thoughts similar to his, but he felt as if he knew the key summary of ‘Theory of Magical Movement’ very well.

It was hard to believe that he was a freshman, and his idea was amazing at such a young age.

Certainly, Richard Park’s idea of Minjun was very different from other trainees.

‘He’s the kind of guy I know but don’t know.’

No matter what.

While the other trainees were busily preparing, Richard Park was lost in thought.

Minjun’s ideas, which he sees from a different perspective than others, slowly matched the ‘magic movement theory’ he had been thinking about.

As Minjun said, if there is a possibility that the core area of Magi will move or change!

It was right to take measures from now on.

***

Trainees who are busy with practice assignments from early morning.

Each team approached the designated area and hurried to observe the trend of the field.

“Are these all the corpses of monsters?”

“Ugh, isn’t the body rotting me too bad?”

“Everywhere I go, I want it.”

The team members’ expressions couldn’t be good at all.

It was because the corpses of monsters were piled up between the buildings that had already been devastated and changed.

However, I did not forget the practice assignment.

I analyzed the corpses of the monsters lined up on every street, as well as the situation at the time, if not perfectly, with as much concentration as possible.

“Somehow, it seems like a blood clot unfolded close to a surprise attack? Most of the scars appear to be aimed at the neck.”

“Isn’t it because the neck is a weakness?”

“No. If the neck was the weak spot in the first place, the spacing of the scars would not be this constant.”

While presenting their opinions, the team members were busy trying to combine each other’s opinions.

It was inevitable that each person would have a different opinion, so it didn’t seem like it would be easy to combine opinions.

On the other hand, there was one place that kept bothering Minjun.

‘Just look at the corpses. It feels subtle.’

– Quite a bit quick-witted.

‘Did you know?’

-Can I be doing this if I can’t catch any of these?

It was a really fine detail.

Whereas Gram had noticed from the beginning.

Minjun, who was unfamiliar with the Black Magic Stone in many ways, began to understand the situation little by little.

Ironically, when walking in the north direction, the demonic energy emitted by the corpses of the monsters felt slightly different.

‘Is this the effect of the black magic crystal?’

Unless you have extrasensory nerves.

To the extent that it was very vaguely felt, even the same monsters felt the demonic energy slightly different.

‘Unless you have really keen senses, you can’t notice it.’

Meanwhile, Anna Park touched Min-Jun’s shoulder as if it seemed strange to him.

“Hey, Cha Min-joon. What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Can’t you feel it?”

“what?”

“I mean Margie.”

“Margie? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Of course, you can feel it.”

“how much?”

“How much?”

Of course, she couldn’t understand what Minjun meant.

The whole time, he looked frustrated.

“Anna.”

“why?”

“Will you trust me just once?”

“What?”

“North! That the demonic energy is getting thicker minutely.”

“Is it getting darker?”

It was difficult for Anna Park to accept Min-jun’s words easily.

That would be too.

It was because it was difficult for even advanced hunters to feel the flow and flow of Magi, and it was not easy to differentiate.

However, I thought that Minjun, who was still only a freshman, couldn’t have reached that level already.

“Hey, are you kidding me right now?”

“Do I have to come all the way here?”

“… really?”

“Yes, I mean seriously.”

In an instant, Anna Park’s expression became serious.

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he implanted magic into the staff he was holding.

Shuuu-

A small blue orb formed in her palm.

A sphere made entirely of magical power.

‘It gets slightly darker towards the north?’

The magic sphere created by Anna Park now has the ability to discriminate, albeit faintly, the flow of demonic energy.

Of course, the consumption of magic power is high.

It is one of the magics she is most reluctant to do because it requires a lot of concentration.

However, it seemed to be somewhat credible to just pass through Minjun’s thoughts.

Given the character of Cha Min-joon that she usually thinks of, it didn’t seem like he would dare to lie in a place like this!

She immediately closed her eyes as Min-jun said.

Centered on the sphere, he carefully took one step forward.

‘Just a little more, a little more. Let’s focus.’

A magic that requires extreme sensitivity and a large amount of mana.

But, if, like Min-Jun said, the magic is getting thicker towards the North!

This was not something that could simply be passed over.

Eventually, the process didn’t take long before her demonic sensor could be felt.

I didn’t really feel it, but I felt it getting thicker the further I headed north.

‘Jeong, that’s true!’

But, is it because he drew his mana too suddenly?

Anna Park stopped the magic right away.

“ha… . ha… .”

Even though she was breathing heavily, she kept looking at Minjun.

Park Anna has a hard time even standing.

Minjun hurriedly helped her.

“it’s okay?”

However, she continued, trying not to lose her mind somehow.

“Ha, let’s tell the professor right away.”

At this, Minjun also nodded.

***

On the other hand, Gu Hwang-seok, who arrived in Canberra, showed his true value in one day.

“Also! Master of magic!”

“Still a master!”

“How can I use magic efficiently?”

“That’s true, but does it reduce magic power?”

Officials in the Canberra area were in constant admiration.

Although I already knew his reputation in Korea.

As I watched him face off against the monsters with his own two eyes.

It was immediately clear why he was the master of the ‘Ark Guild’.

Unlike other hunters.

Even though he spews out an enormous amount of mana, he never showed any sign of hardship.

It was perhaps natural that the hunters who saw such a figure of Gu Hwang-seok showed the same reaction.

Meanwhile, the City Hill area, which is suffering the most damage in Canberra.

Gu Hwang-seok decided that the first thing to do was to hurriedly deal with the situation.

I didn’t think it would be an immediate fix, but it seemed like it wouldn’t be difficult.

That would be too.

As if enjoying a second heyday. Because his magic was concise and had a strong impact.

“Jail by fire!”

Even in front of dozens of monsters, he rather showed his murderous intentions.

After gathering a large amount of mana, he made full use of his proprietary fire magic.

Despite consuming a large amount of mana, it did not burden him at all.

The ability to regenerate magic that has been worrisome for so long.

It felt like it had been completely erased, and it felt like I was really living a new life.

The moment I was fed up with the monsters that I had been fighting for so long.

Perhaps because of his regained magic regeneration ability, he rather enjoyed defeating monsters.

‘It feels like I’ve returned to my old self!’

I just wanted it to continue like this.

As if he had won the title of ‘Master of Magic’ again, he became one with magic and water.

‘It feels like there is no end to magic power.’

Rather, it felt like I had more magic regeneration and recovery abilities than when I was in Leeds.

Manager Lim, who never left him out even for a second, had the same idea.

Even he, who thought that his skills and energy would be less than before, in reality, only exclamation was spit out while watching the frequency of Gu Hwang-seok’s magic use.

‘Bun, it certainly wasn’t to that extent. How did you get your skills back?’

I couldn’t believe it.

In the meantime, it was more than the master’s skills that he thought.

As time passed, no matter how much he was the master of the Ark Guild.

It’s only natural that you lose your skills.

Director Lim even suspected that there might be a hidden inner difference between the masters he serves and the hunters Gu Hwang-seok.

And, the decision he made was simple.

‘no way! Our master took drugs to protect Canberra?!’

Of course, I hope not.

However, there were not many parts that made sense to make a conclusion.

The ‘Fire Prison’ he cast a while ago was also a magic that cost a lot of mana.

There are only a handful of cases that I witnessed with my own two eyes.

In response, Chief Lim ran to Gu Hwang-seok with a confused mind when the situation at City Hill was settled and the time came for the master to rest.
