Chapter 2 (1/2)

Period 1 (2)

Round glasses with a stiff posture and high frequency.

Lee Hak-beom, with an impression that looks attentive even at one glance, said in a slightly annoying voice.

“Kang Minhyuk.”

“Yes.”

“How long have you been in the magic department?”

“… … It’s been a week.”

“Then, I will ask again. Unlike other students who majored in magic at the Youth Academy, have you studied magic before now? Even for a day, except for studying at Hunter Academy.”

He couldn’t speak.

17 years old.

In this world that has been messed up with the invasion of monsters, Min-hyuk’s early education had ended, and he officially entered the Hunter Academy. His classmates were looking at the current situation with interest since they already had a foundation in magic here in Youth Academy. On the other hand, his case was different.

He clenched his fist.

The calluses of my palms, which were studded with lumps, tickled his nerves.

“No, there’s not.”

“Yes, nothing. All you did when you got into magic was forming circles and only learning a few elemental magic. Where did you find that kind of guts? If you chose Jinro as your magic, wouldn’t you have to work harder to catch up with classmates who are already mastering 2nd circle magic?”

That’s right.

Min-hyuk started late.

Then, Hak-beom Lee is right to say that he should try harder, but he actually did not have a will for magic.

‘Anyway, magic … …. ‘

“I’m sure you’re the eldest son of Suhomun, a master of swordsmanship. I understand your feelings. You grew up in Suhomun, so the magic, which is a non-mainstream discipline, will not occupy the castle. However, if you chose the Department of Magic with a mindset like that, it would be better to drop out immediately. Even though the study of magic is inefficient, it cannot be learned with a mindset.”

Hakbeom Lee.

He takes great pride in magic.

In reality, magic is a non-mainstream discipline.

Power is weak, casting takes a long time, and mana consumption is high, so the persistence is very low.

So unless you subdue a monster with a low rating, the wizard takes on the role of a supporter.

So, Lee Hak-bum did not like Min-hyuk.

Swordsmen of Suhomun.

In fact, in this world where armed forces are directly connected to power, he had a gold spoon that everyone envies. However, his innate talent fell, and he was lost, and he chose to enter the department of magic as a refuge.

‘The magic is a refuge.’

That was what aggravated Lee Hak-bum’s nerves.

If this happened with another student and not Min-hyuk, he would’ve let it go, but it was him, Kang Min-hyuk.

“Sorry.”

He immediately apologized.

Although the class was boring and his other classmates who slept weren’t reprimanded, Min-hyuk was not the kind who holds his head high in the wrong situation. As Lee Hak-beom’s words clearly indicated, he was in the wrong, so he didn’t have the right to be angry.

However…

“Sorry doesn’t cut it. If you answer my question, I admit that you still have minimal courtesy towards me, and we’ll move on. But if not, I will give you 3 penalty points. Understand? Ten points of penalty mean expulsion from the Department of Magic.”

Lee Hak-beom’s anger did not subside.

Min-hyuk accepted the punishment by nodding his head.

“The double casting I said during class. Explain about it.”

Unfortunately, Lee Hak-beom presented a problem too easy for him.

* * *

Just a few hours ago.

He didn’t know if it was a few minutes ago when he saw that the class wasn’t over.

If Min-hyuk had no experience in the strange world, he would not have answered Lee’s question.

But.

‘If it’s a double casting … …. ‘

The elementary textbook.

Through that, he read detailed information about double casting.

So Min-hyuk could answer right away, but the problem was the authenticity of the information.

‘Anyway, I don’t know about double casting at all. Once I say it, I might be punished for wrong information. ‘

There was no other way.

In the eyes of Lee Hak-beom, Min-hyuk said carefully.

“Double casting means using two magic simultaneously. Normally, common wizards have trouble processing two tasks. Still, I’ve heard that sometimes wizards with fast brain abilities use double casting. According to the current information, it is regarded as an entirely innate ability, not an inheritance.”

The answer from the textbook.
