The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Since the students have acquired the skills, the teacher of course asked what skills they acquired.

He came out and talked one by one, and when Soon-won's turn came, he frankly said that he had acquired a massage skill.

“Hey, did you hear me?”

“Jae, it’s massage skills. Kick!”

It was natural for the students to laugh.

Some people fly in the sky, shoot fire, and throw ice, but it was funny that they had massage skills.

“What is the effect of the massage skill?”

Soon-won checked the status window in response to Kim Chul-doo's question.

[Lv.l Massage: Buffs are applied randomly. The level is still low, so the effect does not last long.]

“Is there a buff?”

"buff?"

"Yes."

“Would you like to try it for me?”

“It is.”

Soon-won reached out and started rubbing Kim Chul-doo's shoulder. Then a soft light came from his hand.

“Huh?”

Cheoldu checked his ability window. His stamina was restored and his agility increased.

“Does each massage restore strength and increase agility?”

“The effect is said to be random.”

“It’s a very unique skill. If you level up, the effect will be expected.”

The atmosphere changed with one word from Kim Chul-doo.

“You don’t have to laugh. If you want to receive a buff from Suhyun later, it would be better to show it well from now on. Because buff skills are not common.”

The effect of those words was great.

This is because, when it is time to take a break, there are children approaching, pretending to be friendly, asking for a buff.

Soon-won massaged one or two people, but later refused, saying he was tired.

The problem was lunchtime.

He came to class after eating and rested.

There was a man who could be 190cm tall approached and he asked Soon-won for a buff.

“I’m sorry, but I’m tired.”

“Aren’t you asking me?”

The atmosphere became harsh.

Soon-won looked up at him from the seated position.

"what? Are you even playing a game? With people over 10,000 years old?”

“Don’t say it twice. From now on, come to me every lunch break and rub my shoulders.”

The classroom was engulfed in silence.

All the students looked at them.

"Nope?"

"wake up."

“You don’t like that either?”

bang-!

Jang Cheol-jung hit the desk.

Hard plywood is dented.

If that fist hit a person's head, it was a shock that could kill him instantly.

“Aren’t you waking up from this?”

«Huh...w

T that.

Soon-won knew why Jang Cheol-joong was like this. There are some people who simply want to get a massage, but leave it and start anew.

Show yourself to other students in a small academy.

I'm such a scary person, so take care of yourself. That's what I want to show you.

‘And I became the target.’

Since they could be counterattacked by arguing clumsily with the kids who acquired the attack skill, they set the goal for themselves who acquired the buff skill.

It's something I do because I know that if I show this kind of image for the first time in school, I'll have a more comfortable school life.

“It’s a desk.”

"what?"

“If you don’t exchange it for yours, which is fine… .”

“If not what?”

Jang Cheol-joong grabbed Soon-won by the neck and lifted him up. It was time for Soon-won to sigh and grab his wrist, trying to infuse his magic.

“What are you doing!”

The classroom door opened and a female student entered. It was Jeong Ji-yeon, who was chosen as the interim class president.

“Because it’s a man-to-man job, you are out of class!”

“The teachers are all here.”

“Sheesh!”

Jang Cheol-joong released Soon-won's neck.

Soon-won stopped trying to run a million volt electricity through his wrist.

“You are lucky. See you later."

“Aren’t you going to change your desk?”

“Is this kid?”

Jang Cheol-jung, who was trying to take control of the classroom atmosphere, became angry until Soon-won responded to the end. If the teacher hadn't come in through the classroom door, he would have rushed right away.

He walked to the back seat, looked at Soon-won and muttered that he would not leave him alone.

* * *

When class was over, class leader Jeong Ji-yeon approached Soon-won.

“The teacher has been in your office for a long time.”

"Why?"

“Neither do I.”

When Jang Cheol-joong saw this, he stopped trying to approach Soon-won. If you hit the kid the teacher called, you'll be caught right away.

Because.

“Sheesh.”

Jang Cheol-joong couldn't help but watch Soon-won and Ji-yeon leave the classroom.

Soon-won, who arrived in front of the office, opened the door and tried to enter, but Ji-yeon grabbed his wrist.

“Actually, it is a lie that the teacher called you.”

"Huh?"

“Jang Cheol-joong is waiting for you with his teeth sharpened, so he looked dangerous, so I called you in.”

“Oh, was that kid’s name Jang Cheol-jung?”

"I did not know? He said he worked as a gangster before he came into virtual reality... .”

“How can you see the temperament of a bastard? Even after 10,000 years, people do not change. After all, people are not meant to be rewritten.”

“Soohyun, what kind of exercise did you do?”

"Exercise?"

“What was it like a boxer or a judo fighter?”

“No, I am not elected. Why?"

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“What are you afraid of?”

If you think about it, the students in the classroom were afraid of Jang Cheol-jung. It is a virtual reality, so even if you die, you will be resurrected.

Besides, they are all people who have lived for 10,000 years. I couldn't understand the fear of him.

‘If I couldn’t use magic, would I have been afraid of him?’

no.

He is a combat wizard and is used to fighting and handling various weapons.

‘What if he never learned martial arts?’

Then he was terrifying.

A sense of pressure from the great height and size. Even if he swung his fist and raised his arm to block it, it was just fine to break it anywhere.

“What do you think?”

Soon-won, who was lost in thought, suddenly looked at Jiyeon. The energy of mana flowing subtly.

Looking at his wrist, he was wearing a bracelet suspected of being an artifact.

'It seems to be always active. What kind of magic are you using?’

Before entering virtual reality, the body

Because of this, there were people who were wearing artifacts with medical magic all the time, but since this is virtual reality, that won't happen.

Soon-won stopped asking what the artifact was.

He's not even that friendly, and when I asked him how he recognized the Artifact, he couldn't think of anything to say.

“Thank you for your concern. If it’s Jang Chul-soon’s door, you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

“You really don’t care about him?”

"Huh?"

“The boy’s name isn’t Jang Cheol-soon, he’s Jang Cheol-jung.”

Jiyeon smirked and smiled.

She had only one name wrong, but I didn't know she would burst out laughing so cheerfully.

“Is this so funny?”

“What is Jang Cheol-soon, even if you call me by the wrong name?”

Just then, Jiyeon's cell phone started to ring. She said goodbye to Soon-won, saying she should answer her call and raising her hand.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"okay."

Seeing Soon-won leaving the building, Ji-yeon answered the phone just then.

“Yes, Mom.”

- How is school life?

"Fun. I also met some nice friends.”

- I'm glad. You don't have to go to that academy yourself.

“Because seeing from the outside is different from seeing from the inside. I think it would be better for me to go to the academy and fix the problems myself. Do you have no contact with your father more than that?”

Ji-yeon's true identity was Jung Soon-won and Jeong Se-yeon, the daughter of Han Ji-hee.

She secretly went to the battle wizard academy established by the SW Company to find and correct her problems as a student.

- Shinjo Lee has not appeared in people's responses since Kunlun appeared, so there is no way to contact the outside world.

“Have you been sleeping for over 5 months? - Maybe something went wrong?”- From the outside, GPT manages it, so there won't be any major problems. The problem

If it happens, we cannot be safe just because we are in virtual reality.

“If my father woke up, it would be easier to solve what is happening now.”

- That's it.

The call ended like that.

Han Ji-hee, who had handed over his position as president to her daughter, returned to the company. Because Jeong Se-yeon joined the academy, he started working for the company again.

* * *

From the next day, the intensity of physical training increased. The students complained about why they were doing unnecessary physical training in virtual reality, but the teacher had a different opinion.

"first. We do not have a physical body, but we do exist. Therefore, the more intense the training, the faster the growth will be. second. If you push your physical strength to the limit, your mental strength will increase as well.”

That's right.

Soon-won reminisced about the past while running non-stop. Naval Special Warfare Group UDT/SE as a consignment education during the battle wizard days

He's been there for AL training.

He had not slept for seven days in Hell Week, constantly training with an IBS boat on his head and even a first-come-first-served run.

At that time, he couldn't even take off his boots, so all his toenails fell out, the skins of his hands were peeled off, and there was no place where he didn't get used to his armpits and even his groin.

There he also had to constantly fight the temptation to give up, because hitting the golden bell could give up his training.

At that time, he threw it away because of his bad temper, and after that, he thought that it was not difficult compared to the training at that time.

I have the mental power to move on.

“Heh heh heh!”

But other students were different.

After running all morning, the students got tired one by one and could not run anymore.

“The number of people with poor grades here will be different when they are graded and given out skill marbles.”

At those words, the students' eyes lit up.

This is because the number of skill marbles is a shortcut to becoming stronger as a battle magician.

“These marbles were obtained with difficulty by our wizards, who made countless sacrifices while fighting Ambassador Kun Lun’s men. In my heart, we wizards want to use it, but we're giving it up to you who have high mana sensitivity. So run. You won't die if you keep running."

Soon-won did not stop breathing no matter how much he ran. Because he has reached the level of the 9th Circle Master, he can use some of his power even when he enters virtual reality.

"Ugh… Ugh… .”

Jang Cheol-joong runs with foam in his mouth.

And Jiyeon was sweating like rain, but she did not give up.

"Hmm."

Soon-won walked over to Ji-yeon and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Yes?"

She felt like she was going to die anyway, but someone approached her and raised her arm.

As her stamina was restored and her body revitalized, she felt cooler and lighter.

“Uh, how?”

“It’s a massage skill.”

no.

The massage skill is to have one or two very small effects by grabbing and rubbing each one. The effect lasts about 30 seconds.

On the other hand, Soon-won's buff is a 9th circle buff, and if too much mana is blown into it, it can be strengthened with tens of times the existing stamina for full recovery, so it was intentionally lowered.

"awesome. I had no idea that a massage skill could have such a powerful effect.”

“Because you can’t tell the teacher. Pretend you don't know and keep running."

“Thank you, Soohyun-ah.”

Because of that, Soon-won and Jiyeon took first and second places in the record.

Jang Cheol-joong looked at the two with an angry expression.
