I Became an Academy Regular

◈ My own ending (2)

For the first week, I had no choice but to ignorantly memorize the recipes that made up the gate.

[Essence Exploration]. It is a characteristic of nonsensical performance that allows you to understand its structure and principle just by looking at the magic.

Even those characteristics could not understand the magic that made up the gate. Being able to read the structure of the gate was the only limit.

Even if you have magical knowledge, it’s only about existing magic. What I want to do is create a new magic that does not exist in the ‘103rd Tower’. In other words, I had to build a foothold from the beginning to reach the goal.

‘The problem is that I don’t know if I’m going in the right direction right now.’

For over 20 years, I have lived in an ordinary reality without magical and fantasy elements. That I have to create a new thing called magic. Unlike when I confidently shouted to Top-joo, I felt a little disappointed now that time has passed.

…but I had to.

If you don’t want to see a normal ending that isn’t this or that.

It was only at the end of a month that I memorized all the ruthless amount of recipes. The thickness alone exceeds the encyclopedia. Fortunately, the hair that was rolled hard during active duty did not rust thanks to the activation of mana.

···The problem is that, while all food and beverages have been shut down and you are locked in your room, you have become a disturber rather than a disturber.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. After a long time, I got up from the floor and opened the door. In front of him was a familiar face.

“Jihan! Time to eat.”

“Thank you always.”

In the first year, the homeroom teacher, Lee Dae-soo, held two meals in both hands. I didn’t come out so much, so I guess they thought I was dead. From then on, I started going in and out of the room to get my food.

It didn’t matter if I got a little distracted because the simple memorization was over anyway. Now what I need to do is replace the gate’s formula with a magic circuit. This is because the gate must be able to manifest as magic before it is registered in the ‘characteristics’.

Dae-soo Lee ate with me and delivered the news of the union.

“Come to think of it, the 59th floor has just been cleared safely. After taking a day off, they tried to attack the 60th floor.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“okay. The attack situation was better than expected. So, Jihan, don’t even think about going back in a hurry, and just focus on creating the best condition. Are you a warrior?”

In this way, the wire ran smoothly without me. It was strange compared to the original, which had a low difficulty, but the reason was simple.

The current coalition had a high level of survival because the number of heroes was small, but it was also supported by other factions. Moreover, it was not hostile to the top powers, so the biggest part was to focus only on attacking.

‘The supply is sure, so if you clear the high floor, you can build a new base there.’

Not only was he not tired of the material, but he was also able to manage fatigue because he changed the attacking personnel periodically. The attack speed probably won’t decrease for a while. It will be full of monsters and field bosses who have survived for a long time and have become stronger through erosion, but there are also temples that can neutralize them.

So in the end…

‘It’s just that I can do it well.’

And the second month.

“It’s fucked up.”

I spit out a swear word and looked down at the stuffed paper.

It seems like someone studied hard, but I just wrote the procedure from start to finish without thinking about it. No progress has been made except that I memorized it perfectly. Replacing such a complicated thing with a circuit made my head fall out.

‘You can’t ask other wizards for help with this…’

There’s no way they can understand what I don’t understand. However, you will notice how high-ranking this is. Even Gaju or Ahat would know that it was made for a certain purpose.

Things get a little more complicated if you have to tell us that this world was a game on Earth.

‘Besides, I hear voices saying when will they return to the front line…’

There was also a limit to delaying the climb on the excuse that the injury had not yet healed. The fact that the rotation of the fighting personnel on the front was changed periodically meant that someone would enter first instead of me.

Fortunately, Yuria brought up the story first to maintain the best condition in order to face Top Joo. Same with Astiel and Arthur Gran. Nevertheless, it was my opinion that the union was formed, so it should not be left unattended for a long time.

‘But what can I do?’

this is more important

I pushed the papers that filled the floor to one side and lay down on the space. It’s difficult. Is this kind of approach really correct?

I couldn’t find the right way because I couldn’t share this issue with anyone.

“What’s happening?”

Then I heard a voice coming from my head.

What, was the door open? When I lifted my head, I saw Lee Dae-soo looking down at me, lying in a messy room.

“Sorry, the door was open, so I came in. Where are you sick?”

“no. It’s just frustrating.”

“Hmm···. You look tired, so eat some of this.”

Lee Dae-soo took out a nourishing tonic from the bag he was holding. Do these ready-made items still exist? The fatigue goes away when I wake up anyway, but there was no reason to refuse. He opened the lid and drank the sour liquid.

“Do you think what you are trying to do is not going well? Jihan-ah.”

“Well, that’s right. It’s hard.”

Opposite Lee Dae-soo, the gate was shaking. It is invisible to this person’s eyes.

‘Come to think of it, the teacher took good care of me when I first came here.’

It was because ‘Seo Ji-han’ was a guy who cared about him in so many ways. Come to think of it, where did Seo Ji-han, who was originally in this world, go? Maybe you’re not on Earth instead of me right now…

tt If there is no result, the thinking is inclined to useless thoughts.

Dae-soo Lee, who sat down, crossed his arms and said.

“If you have any concerns, tell me. Because there are things that you will realize while talking rather than struggling alone.”

···is it. Anyway, it’s okay if you don’t know what this is. I glanced at the paper on which the recipe was written. And he opened his mouth to express his frustration.

“I just don’t know if what I’m doing is going in the right direction. What if I went in the wrong direction and wasted?

“… well. I don’t know, is it because of these things?”

Lee Dae-su picked up the tightly packed papers and scanned them, then looked at me.

“Is this like a math formula?”

“Yes. It’s similar.”

“Then you would want to know if the solution process for this calculation is correct.”

Nodding his head, Dae-soo Lee carefully put the papers down.

“Hmm. Is there any reason you have to guess the correct answer all at once?”

It’s not like that. All you have to do is point in the right direction in order to make the magic manifest.

“Then, wouldn’t it be better to find out step by step to see if that direction is the right one? It’s about repeating it over and over again.”

“If you are on a new road where you don’t know where the shortcut is, it’s faster to follow the road than to stand there.”

Lee Dae-soo patted the nape of the neck, thinking that I was bothered when I answered right away.

“Ah, did I look like a nerd?”

“no. It’s not like that…, it’s just a theory, so I forgot about it.”

That’s right. If you don’t know if you’re on the right path now, you have no choice but to walk ignorantly to see if it’s the right path. Where are you good at from the start? You have to grow by investing time.

‘It was like that in my life as an athlete.’

How long have you been forgetting that?

After hearing the teacher’s words, I feel like my impatientness has disappeared.

There is still time left to reach the 100th floor where the tower is located. Until then, all you have to do is keep trying to find the right direction. There was no need to take a shortcut for anything.

“I feel a little lighter. thank you.”

“Then I’m glad. haha.”

Whether you arrive leisurely or close to the deadline, in the end.

‘Cause you just have to win

[???] [*acheive]

“Is it done…?”

4 months like that.

Finally, a new active attribute is created in the status window. I couldn’t think of a name or an effect, but that was enough.

Meaning that the created thing itself can be manifested as magic.

In other words, it was proof of my success. It took a total of 4 months to reach this result. It is a valuable achievement obtained by focusing only on interpretation.

‘Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.’

Currently, the Alliance is attacking the 72nd floor. Of course, there was a crisis situation as the rotation took place, but somehow he was growing and overcoming it.

‘Well, my reputation has gone down, though.’

The story of a hero who ran away from fear or something like that came to my ears. Actually, that was expected. Even in the midst of all the hardship, in the eyes of others, I was sucking honey by myself.

Whoa! Mana was moved slowly in the mana rod. In the same direction as the gate was interpreted. Soon a blue line was drawn on the back of her hand, and she realized that if she wanted to, it could manifest itself. But I haven’t tested it.

It was because I had the intuition that this magic was disposable. Whether or not it was successful could be confirmed in front of the top owner. If I failed, I would die, but I was confident that I was perfect.

‘Now, living in the corner of the room is over.’

After washing my face, I went to meet Lee Dae-soo and said that I would go up to the tower for the next personnel change. Lee Dae-soo looked back at me and answered.

“I’m going to go up at the next replacement…. Is your job well done?”

No, it actually worked better. The process of replacing it with the magic circuit itself was finished a month ago, but it was delayed because of looking at it again.

As Lee Dae-soo advises, there is nothing in a hurry.

Dae-soo Lee checked the schedule.

“Uh… is the rotation going to happen tomorrow? If you want, I think you can join us right away.”

“is that so? Then please do it.”

it’s tomorrow I bowed my head to Lee Dae-soo and thanked him.

“Thank you for that, sir.”

“ha ha ha. suddenly?”

Lee Dae-soo looked embarrassed by my actions, but then smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Maybe I won’t be able to see you for a while. See you again in good health.”

If only I could see you again.

As I left the classroom, I pulled out my cell phone and immediately called someone.

[-Uh, what’s going on?]

It’s Ryu Seo-yeon’s voice that I haven’t heard in a long time. He was still tired from being busy with support and weapon making.

“I’m going up now. It was a rotation change tomorrow. I think we should talk about it before we forget it.”

[-okay? I don’t think it’s bad to join the 90’s.]

Ryu Seo-yeon was also asked to take care of my physical condition for the decisive battle with Top-joo.

“it’s okay. Anyway, Ryu Seo-yeon, you’ve worked hard all this time. Without Black Hawk, it would probably be all over.”

[-···suddenly? Do it when you’re done saying that. It seems like I’m hitting a second for nothing.]

Ryu Seo-yeon had a somewhat questionable voice.

It feels good too. I said with a bitter smile because he couldn’t see my face.

“just. I think we should talk about it in advance.”
