After that, Lee Han continued to demonstrate.
“The magic of a wizard generally includes telekinesis. And as you just saw, the amount of mass that telekinesis can handle is enormous. It is a threatening force. It would be a disaster to a common soldier. However, a knight must be able to resist disaster. To be worthy of the name of a knight.”
Lee Han winked, and Irene used her telekinesis as she sensed it.
spurt.
Pfft!
“Have you seen it?”
“… … .”
I saw it.
An invisible air current that bursts like a balloon in the air.
“There are three main ways for a warrior to counteract telekinesis. One is the throwing technique. This involves exuding a strong throwing force to block the flow of magical power. Another is to counter the telekinesis itself. Well, if you do that, you run the risk of your entire body exploding under the pressure, so it’s best to avoid it if possible.”
“Then, the third one…?”
“For those of you who don’t have a strategy, the third answer is the only answer.”
Pfft!
The invisible current of air bursts forth again.
“It’s a ‘discharge’ of power. It contains the principle of the Baekboshin Kwon that I showed you just now. You can think of it as ‘shooting down’ telekinesis as it is. Of course, you shouldn’t do something like this in front of telekinesis that is erupting in all directions. You might end up turning your body into dust.”
“Uh… If you do that, the wizard’s body will turn to dust instead?”
Magic is a power that is close to omnipotent, but that does not mean it is truly omnipotent.
You need to have the ability, effort, and composure to handle the omnipotent energy.
That’s why unleashing telekinesis in all directions is an act of self-destruction.
It’s like being shot repeatedly with a cannon while naked, so you’ll bleed to death before long.
“Ah, so that’s how he died? I knew it was a good thing.”
“… … .”
… I guess he already has experience dealing with it.
“Anyway, as you can see, if you want to counter telekinesis, you’ll need to be able to do what I did. Well, it’s only two things, so it should be easy to learn.”
Expression and release of strength.
It would be an easy task for them that would make them yawn.
“… Where are you going?”
However, it was definitely not easy for those who had only seen the sight of power exploding in the air.
Why does that giant log split in half, and how can telekinesis be used to shoot it down?
They still don’t understand the ‘principle’.
“Well, anyone understand? Raise your hand?”
The explanation was given.
It’s just difficult because it’s a sensory explanation.
But surely there are those who understand?
I looked at them with such small expectations.
“Kunta, you still don’t understand. Kunta, you’re an idiot.”
“I’m not stupid, Kunta. No one would understand.”
“It’s too abstract, Instructor.”
Just smile awkwardly.
I thought Kunta, who was most similar to Lee Han, would understand… .
Well, maybe I should have explained it a little more kindly?
at that time.
“I, I… .”
A girl who was not expected to do anything raised her hand.
“Is this what you mean, Instructor? We learned how to squeeze out all the strength in our bodies. The reason you emphasized such training is probably to increase physical strength, but you also want us to feel how our body’s muscles move. You always emphasized that.”
Levi Fault.
She was a delicate and pretty girl reminiscent of a lush hydrangea, but she also proved that she was not simply delicate, as she completed her training without running away for twenty days.
That special girl, with her intelligent irises shining somewhere, expressed what she felt.
“The instructor always emphasized, ‘Feel the power.’ It’s such an abstract expression, but I and others also did gymnastics and climbed cliffs, and experienced how and when muscles were used, and how training was possible even when it seemed like all of our physical strength was exhausted. Thanks to that, we now know that strength does not simply come from muscles. It’s all thanks to the instructor’s class.”
The speech is quite fluent.
Maybe it’s because she’s a noble lady, but instead of speaking rudely, she uses a way to praise the other person’s achievements.
I guess it makes people feel good.
However, Lee Han liked her explanation more than her lonely words.
“You explained it properly, Chick Number 1. Thank you. I’m also the type of person who just guesses based on feeling, so I couldn’t explain it properly, but you made it all make sense.”
“Oh, no. I’m sure you already know, Instructor, but I just explained it in a more detailed way.”
“… The instructor will give you some candy later.”
“yes?”
He is such a kind and good kid.
How can he speak so beautifully and uniquely?
The purity that cannot be felt from men with rough speech and dirty pride enriches the heart.
‘I want to have a daughter just like that.’
It’s like seeing a younger sister or daughter who is much older than you.
Lee Han gave a gaze full of happiness, and Levi Fault’s cheeks turned bright red.
Are you not used to receiving compliments?
‘Me, me? I’m good at it too, so why don’t you praise me?’
On the other hand, the magical girl who had never received such praise until now felt wronged.
[Arin, you lost. You may be prettier, but we lost in dignity, sob sob.]
‘… … Dignity will freeze to death.’
The girl, who was the best as a siege weapon but had an F grade in terms of dignity, felt very upset.
Unaware that the girl’s delicate feelings had been hurt, Lee Han focused his attention on Levi Fault.
‘That’s amazing.’
It’s a peculiarity with a different meaning than before.
Last 20th.
It was so intense that no one could say that they worked harder than anyone else, but few were as intense as Levi Fault.
‘I woke up the earliest and trained harder than anyone else.’
There is mental strength, and even more, courage.
Although she looks delicate and weak, her hidden nature is strong.
I know I’m at the last starting line, so I work hard and struggle without stopping.
So after trying and trying again, she has finally started running from the starting line.
And at a fairly fast rate.
Although Vulcan’s mysteries may have helped, her efforts should not be underestimated.
‘I can’t just treat him like a chick anymore.’
The girl is no longer a noble lady, but a warrior.
I don’t know why she wants to become unmanned, but Lee Han only sees her determination and results, not her circumstances.
People who work hard are always admirable.
so.
“Levi Fault.”
“Huh? Huh!?”
“Why is that?”
“Oh, no… .”
For the first time, he was called by his normal name.
That was all, but my heart thumped.
It felt like she was recognized as an individual, not as the daughter of the Fault family.
“Levi Fault. Listening to your explanation, I can tell that of all the people present, you have the highest understanding of [the Kyung].”
“Ha, but compared to other people, my body is still….”
“It’s still not enough. But that can’t be helped. Unlike you, the others have been training for over ten years.”
“yes….”
“however.”
“?”
“The important thing is not the ‘period’. Sometimes, what is more important than the period is how intense and rich the time is. In that sense, Cadet Levi Fault may have started late, but he got off to a good start. He can be proud of that.”
“… Instructor.”
Words that make people cry for no reason.
He recognized my efforts and went further.
“So, the instructor wants to personally help that Levi Fault cadet.”
“what….”
“The instructor usually likes to treat people fairly. So, let’s give Cadet Levi Fault a particularly kind lesson.”
“??”
An explanation I still don’t understand.
Certainly, instructors, or rather adults, seem to have a tendency to explain things in a difficult and convoluted way.
Lee Han suddenly approached her, who was blinking, and he.
“From now on, the instructor will briefly touch the cadet’s back. Is that okay?”
“Huh? Huh?!”
“If you allow me, I will do so. By the way, I have no impure intentions whatsoever. I hope you understand that.”
“Uh, uh, yeah. Okay, it’s okay.”
It’s a little embarrassing, but she’s already rolled around in Vulcan, and she’s seen everything that shouldn’t be seen.
Isn’t it a bit funny that I feel embarrassed now?
Above all, I know that the instructor is not that kind of person.
So she was the one who allowed me to touch her body relatively coolly, and Levi Fault… .
“Ugh!”
I ended up swallowing my breath.
“-All an instructor can do is guide you along the way. However, I believe this experience will greatly reduce the gap between you and other cadets. I hope it helps, cadet.”
“… … .”
… the girl was now in a daze.
Shame has long since disappeared.
To that extent, the girl was now experiencing something amazing, or rather a ‘miracle’.
‘This, this is… .’
Gooooo-!
A palm leaning lightly against her back.
It was a palm so hard it almost resembled iron.
But what amazes her more than those iron palms is the intense ‘pulsation’ flowing through them.
The pulse of power.
The intense pulsation flowing from the muscles, bones, and tendons was completely transmitted to the girl, and as she felt it, sweat flowed down her body like crazy.
‘I, I am truly something worthless compared to this.’
The fury of the huge, overwhelming and majestic waves.
The excitement of the waves is transmitted to the whole body, and it is a miraculous experience, a wonder that humans who discover the great traces of nature for the first time can feel.
And as the turbulence and pulsation of these waves touched the girl, she could also sense the ugly currents moving through her body.
An extremely weak pulse.
If he is the tidal wave of the sea, she is merely a tremble spreading across the calm pool.
Just when disappointment was about to spread… .
“Is that all you felt?”
“yes?”
“Concentrate more fully and deeply. Then you will be able to experience more interesting things.”
“… … .”
The girl did as he said.
Because now, he was seen as a superhuman who could not be defied.
I reflexively followed those words and dug deeper into the pulse flowing through my body, and at some point… .
“…uh?”
The girl realized.
The power that exists within my body is not just muscles, bones, and tendons.
Thump thump-!
A representative example is the heart.
Was the heart something that beat so dynamically and powerfully?
It’s strong.
The organ that supplied blood to the ugly girl was neither ugly nor weak.
It was consistently intense and admirable.
Hwaak-!
What about the flow of blood that follows the beating of the heart?
It’s amazing!
So this is what blood vessels are like, so fast, so aggressive, and so courageous.
“Do you think you know?”
“…yes.”
“What do you think you know?”
“I, everything that makes up who I am, … is not insignificant at all.”
The girl thought of herself as weak.
But that wasn’t the case.
Each and every element that makes up your body is so strong and yet so vast.
Levi Fault, no, people are so great.
“Although I may be insignificant and a mere speck of dust compared to the shining sun and stars out there, I too can become a star!”
“As expected from a noble daughter, she uses such refined expressions.”
“There’s no other way to express it!”
The girl was excited.
I stood up for myself confidently and without any shame.
Anyone who realizes this pulsation, this power flowing within their body, would feel this way.
“Then show me.”
“yes?”
“The power you expressed as a star.”
“… … .”
“Are you not confident?”
“That, that is….”
“Have confidence. I am here to help you now.”
“!!”
“Try it. Feel the pulse, the force, from your shoulder to your elbow, and then from your wrist to your fist.”
“… … .”
“You can do it. Now.”
“…!”
As his words continued with confidence, Levi Fault tried gambling for the first time in his life.
Not sure if it will work or not.
A gamble that could have an unpredictable effect on the girl’s body.
But she was drunk now.
To the pulse inside me that I didn’t even know existed.
So the girl.
Phew!
I clenched my fist and stretched it out of my own volition.
A fistfight that is still very clumsy.
But that punch.
pop!
“……ah!”
It wasn’t weak.
I burst out in power.
The ’emanation of power’ of evil power.
The girl’s eyes widened as she confirmed that she had done it for the first time.
My fist hurts.
It must have been difficult because he was exerting all his strength with a body that was not yet fully mature.
But right now, I didn’t care about this pain at all.
That would be true.
“I, I did it! I, I…!!”
“Yes. You did it with just your own strength.”
“yes!!”
Compared to this emotion and this joy, the pain was nothing.
“Don’t forget. That is the path you must devote yourself to for the rest of your life.”
“I will never, ever forget…!”
A new sense of ‘blooming’
Unforgettable emotions and encounters.
The girl will never forget the emotion and joy she felt at this moment.
Because it was an unforgettable ‘ecstasy’ that will come at the end of my life someday.
* * *
‘Don’t they know what they’ve accomplished?!’
Roen was astonished.
This was probably the first time in his life that he had been so shocked.
What Lee Han and Levi Fault have done is not just an act of displaying their strength!
‘It can replace speculation.’
A frail noble lady who had not even received a month of full-scale training showed signs of miracles.
It’s still weak, but it will definitely develop further.
Although the process was arduous and difficult, the important thing was that it was a power that could be gained through effort alone, not through bloodlines or anything like that.
And that means it can replace speculation.
It will be a dagger that will crush the privileges of knights, and even nobles.
‘Yeah, that’s it. That’s what I wanted!’
This is the first time.
This is something I have longed for so desperately.
‘I was arrogant.’
I finally admit it.
Before he entered school, he was an arrogant and foolish guy.
I thought I knew everything, and that the academy was just for recruiting talent anyway, so I didn’t need to learn anything, and that there was no one who would dare teach me.
… but it wasn’t.
Look ahead now.
Isn’t there someone who can teach him how a human can become a superman, even if it’s not a speculative method?
‘It’s funny that you say that, Instructor.’
Roen thought it might be possible, but he ended up thinking about it.
Maybe throughout my past life and this life.
‘Can you be my first teacher?’
I thought that for the first time, I would have a teacher I could respect.
The young lion, arrogant but fully entitled to be arrogant, held such expectations and at the same time.
‘You might be the main character of my [desire].’
The longing he held.
The protagonist of the revolution.
