The schedule for the 10th day of the Olympiad is all over.
[Territory Conquest Finalists]
[Korea, UK, USA, Italy, Egypt, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand]
There are now 8 teams left.
Only the finals remained.
and that night.
“Today’s game. I was really impressed.”
Today, after 10 days, Kangin Kim came to the dorm for some reason.
“I was impressed by the student-level game. Thank you even for the empty words.”
During the Olympiad, you said that the players would not be visiting the dorm for too long because of problems with concentration.
What kind of wind did it suddenly blow?
“It’s not an empty word. I was really impressed. As well as brilliantly smashing the coalition’s plot. The same goes for cooperating with the British after that to pressure the coalition.”
Kangin Kim’s eyes shone.
Eyes shining with curiosity, passion, and a spirit of inquiry.
As soon as I saw those eyes, I could understand why Kim Kang-in visited the dorm today.
“With the end of the fire dragon, even the 6th circle magic at the end.”
6 circle magic.
Kim Kang-in came to the dorm to answer questions about the magic of the 6th class output that I used at the end of the game.
“Do you know how surprised not only me, but the other tower masters were also surprised?”
“haha.”
I laughed at once.
Kangin Kim’s expression grew hotter at my calm reaction.
“I will ask straight forward. What was that 6th circle magic?”
I thought Kim Kang-in’s TMI talk would start again.
My expectations were wrong.
Curiosity seems to have suppressed his need for chatter.
When Kim Kang-in talks about something he is genuinely curious about, he becomes rather calm.
I got new information.
With that thought in mind, I answered the question.
“There have been some achievements lately.”
Kangin Kim’s eyes widened at my insignificant answer.
“achievement… … Are you saying you really have reached the 6th circle? At the age of 18?”
A look I couldn’t believe.
The eyes looking at me tremble even if there is an earthquake.
“Breaking the wizard’s wall at the age of 18… … . Renewing the record holder for 7 years.”
Another name for Circle 6 is the Wizard’s Wall.
To be precise, it should be called the wall of ‘genius’ wizards.
The reason why this nickname was given is that the genius wizards who have been winning since childhood feel despair for the first time and it is this 6th circle that is the section where they stagnate.
You can see how high the wall of this 6th circle is just by looking at the record of the youngest ever reaching the circle.
Before I broke the record, the youngest to complete the 5th circle was 19 years old, while the youngest to complete the 6th circle was 25 years old.
There is a difference of 6 years.
I can’t help but be surprised to hear that I made such a 6th circle at the age of 18.
Of course, only Circle 6 is not particularly difficult.
As with all studies and sports, everything in the world becomes more difficult as achievement rises.
The same goes for magic.
From Circle 6 onward, magic achievement becomes extremely slow.
It’s not for nothing that the 7th and 8th circles are called the Archmage.
“First of all, before you misunderstand more, let’s clear up the misunderstanding. It didn’t become the 6th circle.”
“… … Misunderstanding?”
“yes. It is a misunderstanding.”
What is the 6th circle?
I haven’t even been able to weave the 5th circle properly yet.
The reason I was able to use the 6th circle level magic was because I succeeded in weaving the circle of truth and additionally weaving small infinity circles of ‘another type’ similar to but strangely different from the ring of incarnation and ring of resonance.
The second ring of incarnation settled on my body, and the overall magic output increased by 0.15 circles.
A second ring of resonance was added to my body, and the mana output amplification of [Resonance] increased by about 0.35 circles.
Thanks to this, a total output of about 0.5 circles was added, and it was possible to produce an output equivalent to 6 circles.
“Then what is that magic? That magic from earlier was definitely the output of a 6th circle.”
Kangin Kim’s eyes were dyed red.
“I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the 6th circle after using that kind of magic… … .”
Kim Kang-in looked at my body with Hong-ok’s eyes activated.
And at the same time as his eyes turned to my heart, Kim Kang-in was at a loss for words.
I stare blankly at my chest for about 30 seconds with a bewildered expression.
“… … It’s not really the 6th circle.”
After another 10 seconds passed like that, he seemed to come to his senses.
Kangin Kim laughed dejectedly and said. My head tilted very slightly.
“What did you see around my chest?”
It is a well-known fact that Hong-ok’s eyes can distinguish 5th circle users through the presence or absence of manajin.
Because of that, Kim Kang-in was nicknamed the ‘circle discriminator’ on the Internet.
However, this is only a judgment method limited to the 5th circle.
I’ve never heard of Kim Kang-in being able to distinguish wizards from the 6th circle or higher with Hong-ok’s eyes.
“When 6 or more mana circles are woven. A mana drain has been observed near the wizard’s heart. It is a phenomenon that occurs when the mana circle absorbs too much mana.”
“The phenomenon of mana disconnection… … . It seems that this phenomenon is observed in the 6th circle mage.”
“yes. It’s a subtle reaction that can only be seen with Hong-ok’s eyes, but… … .”
Cut off mana near the heart.
It was the first information I had heard of.
“By the way, this is a fact that has not yet been disclosed to the media, or to other tower owners. Please keep it confidential.”
“yes. of course.”
I have no intention of sharing this advanced information with anyone.
Should I try Mimir?
“Anyway, there is no mana disconnection observed near Hayul’s heart. Therefore, it makes sense to say that Ha Yul is not from Circle 6.”
“yes. As I said, I am not in the 6th circle yet.”
Kim Kang-in laughed again.
“Then what magic did you use in the match? To think that the 5th circle uses the same level of magic as the 6th circle. Without ignoring the first law of magic… … .”
Kim Kang-in’s eyes widened as he stopped talking.
“… … The first law of magic?”
The first law of magic.
The Law of Conservation of Circle Absolute Quantities.
It is a basic law of magic that states that you cannot use magic beyond the realm of your own circle.
“yes. I can defy the first law of magic and use magic that exceeds my achievements.”
Kim Kang-in’s eyes widened to the point where it couldn’t be any more.
* * *
After the conversation with Shin Ha-yul, Kang-in Kim, who returned to the hotel where he was staying, sat on the sofa without taking off his coat and was lost in thought.
‘It’s an output increase magic that ignores the first law of magic.’
Thinking about it again only makes me laugh.
To be able to use magic that surpasses one’s achievements?
‘I can’t believe it.’
The 6th circle’s unique mana cutoff was not observed, and Shin Ha-yul used the 6th circle magic.
In other words, Shin Ha-yul was a 5-circle user and used magic with a 6-class output.
These two facts are obvious truths confirmed by Kim Kang-in’s vision magic, Hong-ok’s Eye.
In other words, it makes sense that Shin Ha-yul broke the first law of magic.
‘What is Hayul’s magic?’
My mind goes blank.
Common sense that I took for granted was devastatingly destroyed.
I heard that the sun, which is expected to rise in the east, actually rises in the south, and I feel like I have been presented with the proof.
Evidence that can’t be denied.
The shock Kim Kang-in felt at the moment was that great.
‘Enables the free modification of magic formulas.’
Kim Kang-in recalled the battle between Baek Sa-hyeok and Shin Ha-yul in April of this year.
The appearance of Shin Ha-yul, who played with Baek Sa-hyeok with a single wind spear, comes to mind clearly.
‘It could interfere with the opponent’s magic.’
When the Emerald Turtle was defeated. Shin Ha-yul interfered with the Emerald Turtle’s shell and weakened its strength.
‘In addition to being able to completely neutralize the opponent’s magic.’
During the friendly match against Joo Han-wook.
He destroyed Joo Han-wook’s Inferno.
‘It has eyes that can see mana, and it even possesses the ability to detect the color of the opponent’s mana.’
It even has a detection ability that seems to be related to the disappearance of such magic.
‘This alone is surprising enough, but now it even ignores the first law of magic and strengthens magic.’
What is the magic of Shin Ha Yul? What kind of magic do you have that makes such nonsensical things possible?
‘… … If this Olympiad ends safely, I’ll have to do a proper investigation based on the information I’ve obtained so far.’
Kim Kang-in closed his eyes while contemplating Shin Ha-yul’s magic.
* * *
Day 11 of the Olympiad.
30 minutes before the Territory Battle Finals begin.
Before going to the waiting room, I headed towards the vending machine to get a drink to quench my thirst.
And I encountered an unexpected person.
“hi?”
Dahlia Salentia.
“… … God’s rate.”
and Sarah Ceylon.
It was a two-member team in charge of the martial arts and martial arts of the US team.
I really didn’t know that we would meet like this.
“hi. Long time no see, both of you.”
I greeted them lightly and pulled out a drink from the vending machine.
Not only for me to drink, but also for my colleagues, so I picked 15 of them.
Rumble, rumble.
The sound of sports drinks falling from the vending machine rang loudly.
There was no way to lift all 15 plastic bottles, so through magic, all 15 sports drinks were floated in the air.
“yesterday-.”
I was about to leave, but Dahlia insinuated.
“The magic I used in the first game yesterday. I thought it was the 6th circle.”
I turned and looked at Dahlia.
Dahlia’s eyes tremble slightly.
“Are you really a 6th circle user?”
“well. It could be. Maybe not.”
I smiled moderately.
It will probably look like a hateful smile to those two.
“… … That nasty personality is still there.”
Sara said with a frown on her face.
It is old with Sarah Ceylon.
A total of 4 times in international academic conferences. I won all 4 times.
Maybe I don’t look so good from that point of view.
“Yesterday’s game. Why did you bother using 6 circle magic? No, why did you bother to give us information about Circle 6 magic?”
Sara asked with a somewhat sharp expression.
“Do you think you will answer me?”
“… … no.”
2nd game yesterday.
Dealing with the coalition, I only used the 6th circle magic at the end.
I dared to use the 6th circle magic in a situation where a simple 4th circle magic would be enough to finish it off.
From Sarah’s point of view, this must have seemed like a ‘show-off 6th circle magic’.
In fact, the show magic is correct.
I intentionally showed the 6th circle magic to England and America.
‘A 6th circle magic that can’t even be used in real life anyway. I should use it for a fake like this.’
As I said, the reason I was able to use the 6 circle magic was because I succeeded in weaving two small infinity circles, weaving the circle of truth.
Because of this, the frequency of resonance was raised to the limit, and when accelerated, the 6th circle magic could be used.
It’s literally just ‘usable’.
It’s not to the extent that you can ‘use’ it in practice.
Because it is forced to use an unfinished ring, the side effects are strong.
It requires quite a lot of preparation time, and the stability is greatly reduced.
It is not a power that can be used in battle with Daliana or Kyle.
That’s why I came up with a strategy to use the 6-circle magic for bluffing, and put it into practice.
The result is this situation now.
Sara is making an impatient expression that can’t be more than this.
Dahlia was no different.
Perhaps the same is true in Britain.
My bravado completely shook the spirits of the aces of the enemy team.
“… … Then when attacking the coalition. Why did you go to support Kyle Ventia right away without occupying another country’s camp?”
Sarah did not give up and asked the question again.
That kind of persistence is still there.
If you refuse to answer the first question, you probably won’t ask the second question.
“If you rejected the coalition’s offer, it would have been a much more reasonable choice to completely occupy one of the coalition’s camps and eliminate it. But you chose to leave the easy way and join Kyle right away. It’s a judgment that I can’t understand in my head. What is your purpose?”
“My answer is the same. Do you think you will answer me?”
“… … no. Of course you won’t.”
Sarah shook her head at my question.
“You don’t have to give me an answer. I was just asking just in case. Because you have to get down to make money.”
I didn’t even think that I would be able to hear the answer from the beginning. She said Sarah’s expression showed no sign of disappointment.
“I’m sorry I took your time before we started. Then in the game… … .”
“Can you answer me?”
“… … Will you answer me?”
Sarah’s eyes widened like a startled rabbit, and she looked back at me.
“uh. It was fate that we met by chance like this. I thought I should give you a small present.”
“… … Are you serious?”
Are you really going to answer me?
It’s a look that seems to say
I said with a smile.
“I did that to get information on Kyle Ventia.”
“… … what does it mean?”
“I didn’t intentionally reduce the coalition’s power to collect information about Kyle.”
“You didn’t purposely occupy the coalition’s territory to gather information? To prolong the battle?”
“that’s right. Opportunities to observe Kyle directly, and from such a close position, do not come so easily.”
“… … Did Korea have any reason to do so in that situation?”
Saying that Korea got additional information about Britain because the battle was getting longer means, on the contrary, that the UK also got additional information about Korea.
So is the United States. As our battles get longer, we must have acquired a lot of data from England and Korea.
In other words, the gains from my prolonged battle are large in the order of [United States > Korea ≧ England].
but.
“There was.”
That’s just a story when you only think about superficial data values.
My power unknown to England and America. The inequality of gain is inverted when the bytenor expression is inserted into the calculated value.
“You’ll know when you see it in the finals today. Why did I make that choice?”
For me, the opportunity to see Kyle Ventia’s battle in person, and even up close, is a huge benefit that cannot be compared to anything else.
