The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Lee Ha-na was able to pass the College of Magic at Gongju University, which is called the local three dragons, thanks to her pursuit of perfection in everything.

She confirmed her book purchases with her lab as Soon-won left the bookstore and her brief meeting with him was memorable.

"Yes? You've never bought an Introduction to Mana Science? Are you sure you even checked your ID?"

Kim Jong-wang, who is immersed in research, would not have known if he had not received a phone call, as he would have processed the bill in a lump sum.

However, when her bookstore employee, Lee Ha Na, called and confirmed, she was able to find out that her ID was being used illegally.

"Wait. What date and time was my ID used?”

After hearing Hana Lee's answer, Jongwang Kim took it seriously.

As a result of the confirmation, neither the head of the department nor the chairperson had been to his laboratory that day.

Because.

‘Did someone use my ID that day and fix my blueprints?’

Phase 1 clinical trials have passed. The president, whose crown was empty, screamed in joy and embraced Jong-Wang Kim.

If it passes the Phase 3 clinical trial and passes the final examination by the Creation Magic Bureau, it can sit on a money cushion that is praised by bald and bald people around the world.

If you do, you could even win the Nobel Prize for Magic.

“Do you remember the way he was dressed?

are you?”

“Yes, I am wearing the school uniform of Phoenix Middle School, and the name tag has Jung Soon-won written on it.”

"Yes? I beg your pardon?"

Kim Jong-wang doubted his ears for a moment. Because it was his nephew who visited his lab that day.

‘I bought a book with my ID. It’s okay if you scold me, but… .'

It seems that he bought an introduction to mana science out of ignorance, but without the help of a wizard, even a genius could not develop his own mana circuit.

Buying the book wasn't a big deal.

"Ah! Come to think of it, I just remembered having my nephew run an errand. I'm sorry."

"Yes? Prof? Wait!"

Kim Jong-wang put down the office handset. He was so engrossed in his research that he didn't buy a brick phone.

‘Then who the hell touched my blueprints?’

Soon-won was not on Kim Jong-wang's line of dragons. No wonder wizards who are 15 years old, sophomores in middle school and have completed their Ph.D.

Because he couldn't even imagine that he had completed his creation magic at once.

When the weekend came, Soon-won took the bus to Gyeryongsan.

In his heart, he wanted to go to Mt. Seorak, but he did not have the money or time to go to Gangwon-do.

“After all, when do you go up to the top?”

The best thing about the spirit of a mountain is the top of the mountain. I usually stay there for a few days and

Had to absorb me, but Soon-won only had two days, Saturday and Sunday.

‘My mother said that she studied at Hyunseong’s house, so she liked her very much.’

Both his mother and father liked Hyunseong, who was smart and polite. Because of this, if Hyunseong sold his name, it was cheating.

He didn't even have a cell phone, so it was easy for him to make an alibi.

‘Even though the brick phone was just released.’

The price is 400,000 won.

AR smart glass phone released in 2030 is 2 million won, but it is more than double that

cheap.

‘In 2020, smartphones were the mainstream.’

In 2023, Apple and Google released AR glasses to replace smartphones, and smartphones quickly disappeared.

‘After thinking about this and that, I quickly became a good person.’

It took 3 hours to say it was soon, but because my body was in its prime, my stamina recovered quickly.

‘This would be appropriate.’

Just off the trail, he pitched a small tent he brought home.

His father loved camping and fishing, so the house was full of camping gear.

'You have to finish it quickly. If time goes by, the Wizards of the Magic Kingdom who sense the unauthorized use of mana will come.’

Unlike the portal where demons appear, using mana is not an emergency dispatch target, so you can use your time leisurely.

‘Heh, it’s the birth of the world’s first wizard to open a mana circuit on his own.’

Holding the thick branches around

I started painting on the floor. It was magic.

‘If you can’t get help from a wizard or a mana stone, it’s illegal, but you can use the mana of the surrounding animals and plants.’

The absorption circle is a magic circle that appeared in 2019 and was banned in 2020.

Because it takes away the vitality of the surrounding grass, trees, and living things.

If you use it before returning, you will be sentenced to prison for closing the mana circuit, but now there is no such law and there was no teleport (long-distance teleportation) magic, so there was no chance of getting caught.'Let's begin.'

Sit comfortably on the floor, place your hands on your knees, inhale through your nose and exhale through your stomach.

Because of the absorption circle, the spirit of Gyeryongsan began to flow into the magic circle.

As the mana saturation increased, even Soon-won, who did not receive the blessing of mana, began to feel the energy of mana.

'Tujo｝

Soon-won's time began to pass quickly when he was immersed in the thoughtlessness of nothingness.

A man who was closely watching the mana detection radar in the 3rd Communication Department of the Daejeon Magical Central Special Department got up immediately when a singularity was discovered in Gyeryongsan Mountain.

“Chief!”

“What’s going on?”

“A singularity was discovered near the top of Gyeryongsan.”

“Where do you see it?”

Manager Choi hurriedly looked at the radar screen.

I looked.

It was markedly different from the movement of mana that normally appears when wizards use magic.

“Hey, what is this? Why Mana Swirl

Are you moving?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of movement in my five years of working.”

“Call the five-minute queue.”

"all right."

She was given the name because she could be dispatched within 5 minutes, and a magic emergency team was resident in the Magic Bureau.

“Chief. Manager Park waiting for dispatch

I tell you to do it.”

"what? Why?"

“It is judged that it is a high risk to mobilize a waiting group for 5 minutes when the appearance of the devil is not confirmed.”

“Turn the phone back here.”

“Nem!”

Choi's phone started to ring.

He took a few deep breaths before answering the call.

“I got a call.”

“Hey, you bastard!”

As soon as I got the call, I was blown away.

It was a fact that everyone in the Magic Bureau acknowledged that Director Park's personality was like a beggar.

“Is the five-minute wait a joke? Calling an emergency force because Mana’s movement is a bit unusual?”

“It's not that unusual. The mana around the top of Gyeryongsan is swirling around enough to be detected by her radar.”

“The emergency queue is the force that slows the opening of the demon portal. Transfer that matter to another department!”

“However, the formal wizard

It takes at least half a day to get an assignment.”

"Then we'll just have to wait for the ass-heavy wizard!"

"Boss!"

The phone is disconnected.

Director Choi ignored the procedure if he thought it would be beneficial to him as a typical neighbour, but he thoroughly explained the procedure if it was likely that he would suffer even the slightest loss.

"Damn it!"

Manager Choi roughly pulled on the windshield that was hanging from the chair and put it on.

“Chief?”

“I’ll be away for a while.”

"Where are you going?"

“Gyeryongsan!”

Manager Choi called 911 and ran out of his office shouting to close the Gyeryongsan hiking trail.

♦ ♦ *

There was no wind in the forest.

However, the clothes that Soon-won is wearing are close enough that even a large fan is turned on.

It fluttered wildly.

“Whoa… ha… .”

I knew the absorption circle only in theory, but it was the first time I had used it myself, so the mana that was drawn in was more than I expected.

'charge!'

Mana entered her mouth, passed through her neck, passed through her lungs, entered her heart, and spit out through her body.

Until the 10th generation mana circuit, her mana was collected in her heart, but when she collected mana in her heart, her body was easily exhausted.

From the 11th generation mana circuit, there was a breakthrough, and that was to collect her mana in the danjeon beneath her navel.

'Starting with Seungjang, Cheondol, Damjung, Gumi, Jungwan, Shingwol, Kihae, Gwanwon, Hoeeum, Kimun, Hyeolhae, Eumreungcheon… .'

Mana, which went down from head to toe, goes up through the veins again.

If you go through Shinju, Jujube, Rape, Baekhoe, Indang, and Injung, Mana will flow through your body.

It is said that this was called sojucheon.

‘One circle ring has been made.’

Wizards that exist today have a ring in their heart, but Soon-won from 2030 made it with a double core, one in the heart and one in the heart.

His speed was twice as fast and his power was more than five times.

‘Let’s do this until today.’

If it is continuously absorbed, it cannot be digested.

Even if it is the energy of nature, it has to go through a process of refining it in order to be accepted by the body.

If you get greedy here, don't buy a coin

The blood vessels all over his body would burst and he would die instantly, or even if he was lucky, he would become a dead man.

“Whoah!”

Exhaling his breath, he stretched out his feet and messed up the magic circle drawn on the floor.

Then, the mana that had fluctuated around it was scattered around as if it had ever been.

"what?"

As if all the green trees were on fire, the leaves fell and became charcoal soot.

Even leaves falling on the floor

Even the grass was all black ashes.

“Hey, I hit it right.”

A space of death where life does not grow for the next 500 years was created in a circular space with a diameter of 10 meters.

I could understand once again why the absorption circle was a magic circle forbidden by law.

“What is camping? Let's splash!”

The sunset began to set in the sky. I didn't confirm when I started making the mana circuit, but I could tell that quite a bit of time had passed.

“There students!”

Soon-won was going down the hiking trail when a man quickly approached from the bottom of the mountain.

“The hiking trail here has been abolished, so let’s go down.”

"Yes? why?"

“My name is Ji-tae Choi, Section 3 of the Central Division of the Magic Bureau. A strange flow of mana was caught here. The devil may appear, so hurry down.”

“A devil? hey!”

Soon-won was about to go down with a fuss, and Manager Choi called him back.

I cried.

“But did you come alone as a student?”

"Yes? Yes!"

It was not common for a boy in middle school to climb alone, but that didn't mean it didn't exist at all.

Manager Choi could not even imagine that the huge flow of mana was due to the boy in front of him.

“Did you not see anything strange while going up and down the mountain?”

“Is that weird?”

"no. it's nothing. Come on.”

"Yes… .”

Soon-won remembered Manager Choi's face.

He was wearing a suit over a windshield, so he wasn't a field agent, but it was because he ran faster than anyone else.

Usually, when dispatched to the field, no matter how small the movement, the principle is that there is a two-person group, but seeing that he is alone, he seems to have ignored the procedure and ran.

‘A man like that dies quickly.’

The reason you can tell the fever just by looking at it is because there are things you see and hear while living as a field agent for 11 years.

A person with a good sense of humor and passion was just right for dying on the spot.

‘I’m glad I’m not a wizard.’

He was not hiding the mana emitted from his body because he was tired of making mana rings.

If Manager Choi was a wizard, he would have noticed the feeble mana that Soon-won felt and knew he was a wizard.

However, humans who are not wizards cannot recognize wizards. It was the same even if he was an agent with strong bones in the field.

"then… .”

Soon-won, who bowed his head slightly, broke up with Manager Choi and tried to come down from the mountain.

A sticky feeling running down the back of his hand.

Soon-won thought his senses were wrong.

‘No nobles can appear here now.’

Nobles usually appear at the full moon.

The sun was setting and the moon was visible, but it was not a full moon.“Students, what are you doing there? Come down.”

Even at Manager Choi's words, Soon-won stood still as if a nail had been nailed down.

"Hey. Can't you hear me?"

Manager Choi approached Soon-won and shook his shoulder.

Soon-won, who finally came to his senses, looked at Choi.

"uh? Sweat on the student's face... .”

It wasn't just sweat, it was dripping from the top of my head.

Sweat drips down as if someone turned on the faucet above his head.

there was.

"Mister."

"uh?"

“Sprint to the top of the mountain. If you see anyone along the way, ask everyone to run down the opposite side of the trail.”

"what? What are you talking about now?”

"Devil. A nobleman appeared. We get here in three minutes, no, one minute.”

"what?"

Soon-won suddenly looked at Manager Choi's wrist.

He was wearing a black bracelet with a geometric pattern.

'Artifact? Magical warrior?’

no use.

For a nobleman, one shot would split his body in two.

"Mister. Listen well. My uncle is a professor at the University of Magic, so he gave me the anti-demon detection artifact. Now the nobles are coming here.”

"what? Really?”

Of course it's a lie.

Such artifacts cost tens of millions of won.

No matter how much Kim Jong-wang was an employee of the Institute of Magic, it was not his jaw-dropping talent.

The research on magic cost an astronomical amount of money, so it was the human uncle who stuffed rice with cup noodles.

“Where are you?”

"excuse me!"

It looked bizarre.

They were obviously moving slowly, but they were approaching as fast as the surrounding landscape was folding.

“Three horns?”

A cow demon has two horns.

A nobleman has three horns and an attractive appearance.

Manager Choi realized that the demon approaching in front of him was a nobleman.

“Ear, noble… .”

Choi's legs trembled.

It was only at the beginning of this year that he retired from the field after a child like a rabbit was born.

A nobleman would have seen his seniors fighting from a distance when he was a freshman, but he had never met him in person.

“Hey, what’s the student’s name?”

“It’s Jung Sky.”

Just in case you don't know, I won't reveal your real name

decided to

“Heaven. Run to the top, I'll take the time."

Director Choi's black bracelet was transformed like a living liquid, and soon after it began to take the form of armor.

The whole body was covered in black steel armor, which was 20 times harder than mana iron and steel.

“Your nobleman… .”

"I know! run!"

He raised his fists knowing he couldn't deal with it.

Manager Choi now has a weapon against the devil

It was so sad that it wasn't there.

The armor was handcrafted to fit his body size, and he did not return it when he left the site, but the weapon was handed over to his juniors.

'Damn it! Now, a daughter who has just turned one year old will grow up without a father. I'm sorry, honey.'

Seeing Manager Choi's back like that, Soon-won had no choice but to sink into anguish.

"Hi?"

The nobleman who had arrived in front of the two of them raised his hand.

“Which of the two used black magic?”

Unlike his ferocious energy, he looked like a nobleman, and his voice was as pure as a rolling jade bead.
