2000 Years Of Magic History In My Head

Klinsmann’s Diary (5)

Kyaak!

The Goblin’s roar overpowered Kim Chang-soo’s shrieks.

People became worried that another accident would occur.

Min-hyuk calmly watched the Goblin’s movements, even though the sound blasted his eardrums.

‘Look carefully.’

He observed how the Goblin’s muscles moved, waiting for the perfect time to attack.

Noticing even the smallest muscle movement, he needed to be focused. There was always a chance he could be wrong, but he recalled all the training he underwent. This was the time to harvest the efforts of his practice.

He remembered his childhood.

Back when he was still training, Min-hyuk used to engage in one-on-one battles with monsters in places like Octagon Cage. It was a bloodbath that no child should ever experience. Min-hyuk was then unable to use mana, had no means to survive, and adults would only stare at the carnage with cold eyes.

And now.

Unlike the other students, the Goblin did not scare him.

He was no stranger to blood.

Instead, Min-hyuk felt relaxed with a familiar scent. He read his opponent’s movements in a flash.

‘It’s going right.’

Hook!

The Goblin’s fingernails passed by.

Everyone screamed at the dangerous scene before them, but Min-hyuk kept his eyes on the Goblin. He noticed that the Goblin would clench its teeth and form a fist with its left hand to release mana.

“Fire.”

Woah!

1st circle elemental magic.

Elemental magic was usually made up of a weak foundation.

However, the fire that Min-hyuk created was slightly different.

Magic shows an entirely different appearance depending on the form and the way it is used. 108 kinds of 1st circle magic are only theories. Even summoning a stone, which is a basic spell, can cause the gravity around the area to shift. There are many ways to use fire. The element of fire, in particular, is the most potent property of all the elements. There is a way to increase the power of fire by changing the shape and its magical compression. Magic tends to return to its original form, but unlike the fire system, the mana is formed into a more unstable form. Using this method with the result is higher firepower for less mana.

Variation of Form.

As shown in the textbook, changes can be made when the mana system is near completion.

If Jung-min had a torch-like fire, the fire used by Kang Min-hyuk looked like a small ball.

Hwa-hwa, hwa-hwa.

The fireball was unstable.

Even if it explodes, it only had the same firepower as the firebolt, albeit one can cast it faster.

The problem is…

“There’s not enough distance.”

The distance from the Goblin is too close.

Under these circumstances, using the magic of fire can damage the opponent and the caster.

Moreover, the form of magic is unstable.

So, the wizard’s textbook contains warning for refraining from using flame magic at a close distance.

At that moment.

Kyaak!

The Goblin made a sudden movement.

This time, Kang Min-hyuk reached out his hand towards the Goblin’s mouth as it tried to eat him.

Hwaak!

He created Beads of Fire that entered the Goblin’s system.

At the same time, Kang immediately braced for impact, and a fireball exploded due to the instability of his form.

Puong!

Wow, wow!

Kiae-ekks!

The beads of fire slowly suffocated it, the Goblin struggled and collapsed as the intense heat burned its esophagus.

The other Goblin had regained consciousness.

The damage inflicted by his teammate’s earlier attacks were considerable, so Min-hyuk’s attack came as a surprise, but he was now running low on stamina.

Suddenly,

“Fireball!”

Wow!

Quang!

Lee Min-ho was finally done casting, and shot his flames.

Two goblins were taken down by the fire, one suffocated, and another engulfed in flames.

The situation had come to an end.

However, the main character of the training was not Lee Min-ho, he might have finished off the Goblin, but everyone who watched the training turned to Kang Min-hyuk.

“……What did he just do?”

Everyone was in shock and awe.

For a while, people couldn’t take their eyes off Min-hyuk.

* * *

“Hah, hah.”

Chang-soo’s breathing was rough.

He shed cold sweat; he still couldn’t believe it.

‘Did Kang Min-hyuk do that? ‘

It was shocking.

Who was Kang Min-hyuk?

Unlike other students, who were continually training as wizards at youth academies, Kang Min-hyuk was considered the failed heir of Suhomun, and went on to major in magic.

Everyone thought he was useless because he couldn’t use magic, but Chang-soo would have had a big accident without him during training.

Kim Chang-soo was still shaking.

At the same time, Kang Min-hyuk realized what he had done.

Especially the first attack.

‘That was great.’

His use of magic was fantastic.

He was able to immobilize the Goblin with a basic attack.

It was truly admirable to call a rock from heaven and drop it on the head of a Goblin.

It was difficult, but he did it; Min-hyuk calculated it all in his head while casting magic, even he couldn’t believe he had done it.

By all accounts, he should have failed, only the professor in charge had no doubts.

At first, Kim Chang-soo thought it was that fire magic, but it looked different.

‘What was the last magic Min-hyuk used?’

Seeing Min-hyuk’s ability to create fireballs, Chang-soo had a newfound respect for his teammate.

When the Goblin hit him, he didn’t panic. He fought back accurately, avoiding the attacks. Kim Chang-soo knew he panicked in the heat of the moment, while Min-hyuk remained calm and collected.

Thanks to Kang Min-hyuk, Lee Min-ho had time to finish casting the 2nd circle magic.

The plan to use 2nd circle magic was a success thanks to Min-hyuk; his name now gave a different impression.

At first, Chang-soo thought he would lose if he recruited Min-hyuk to his team, but realized that it was God’s intervention.

People admired Kang Min-hyuk.

***

However, Min-hyuk thought differently.

Seeing the body of the newly burned Goblin first made me feel bad.

‘…… With a sword, I could have easily slain it. ‘

A Goblin, an F-class monster

Even when Min-hyuk was very young, he could easily handle the level of Goblins.

But now, thinking he had to struggle like this, he certainly felt the reality of being a wizard.

People often called wizards weak, but if more people were dedicated to studying it, the unlimited potential of magic would be discovered.

The wizard is the flower of the greenhouse.

If no one is watching, the wizard can be attacked by weak monsters like goblins instead of casting.

Without his knowledge, Kang Min-hyuk would have fallen into this despair.

But Kang Min-hyuk accepted the reality because he saw a new path.

The training was coming to an end as the final group was getting ready to begin.

“Fifth group finished. Sixth group, come forward.”

Min-hyuk knew he needed to train more.

* * *

Professor Baek Dong-suk announced the results.

“The score of Group 1 is B +. It was a good idea to overpower the Goblin with instantaneous firepower, but it was wasteful of the four members’ mana, your choice would have been a double-edged sword, it may have caused great danger. But there was no problem in terms of magical power, casting speed, and accuracy.”

Finally, it was group 5’s turn.

Profiler Baek Dong-suk frowned lightly.

“Therefore, for Group 5 is D. The strategy of immobilizing a Goblin’s foot using a time-difference attack was good, but missing an opening as a wizard is a grave mistake. Mistakes are unacceptable for wizards, and the casting time should have been taken more into consideration. Considering all the variables, I give you an overall score of D grade.”

D.

It’s a terrible score.

As if it was his fault, the leader, Kim Chang-soo, bowed his head.

However, Professor Baek Dong-suk looked at Min-hyuk; he was not finished speaking.

“Kang Min-hyuk.”

“Yes.”

“The magic you showed in practice is an area that has not been taught in the magic division. In particular, the use of Buddhist magic differently at the end was a way that even the professor didn’t know.”

Students were not the only ones to admire Kang’s magic.

Professor Baek Dong-suk also saw Kang differently; the way he used magic could not be regarded as a first-rate ability.

The transformation of fire was also an unknown territory for Professor Baek Dong-suk.

The professor finished speaking.

‘What should I reply?’

People know about Kang’s life.

Min-hyuk was raised without the knowledge of magic, and lived only with a sword.

It was impossible not to assume things about him.

Just how on earth did he do that?

Despite Baek Dong-suk’s suspicious look, Kang showed no signs of embarrassment.

This is what Kang expected.

There will be many situations like this in the future.

Min-hyuk’s calculation on how to answer each time was over.

Kang Min-hyuk said with a brazen face.

The method is simple.

The first concept taught in school.

“I just wrote what I learned from the textbook.”

Min-hyuk could not expound; it was the only way explanation he could give.
