Episode 19
Episode 19: Try It, You Say? (1)
Dohyun couldn’t help but be astonished by the “See More” window that appeared in his status for the first time. Curious about how many skills would trigger such a display, he expanded it and found himself staring at numerous spells.
Even for an S-Grade trait, the sheer quantity was staggering. More skill entries than Hwang Hana possessed—he found himself bewildered, thinking internally.
‘How can there be so many spells?’
From D-Grade intermediate magic series to E-Grade basic magic series, and even F-Grade foundational magic series—an absolutely overwhelming collection. Yet what caught his eye more than the abundance of skills was something else.
‘And despite stats lower than expected, there’s already an S-Grade skill?’
Despite possessing stats far inferior to Hwang Hana’s, one skill had already reached S-Grade. Moreover, seeing that 「Ether Heart」—which appeared to be a trait skill rather than a weapon technique like Hwang Hana’s—was S-Grade, Dohyun could confidently conclude that Hanalin was no ordinary person.
He’d thought an S-Grade Mage would never actually show up, yet here she was.
And she looked young too, yet she’d already come as an Instructor Mage. That meant one of two things typically. Either a Hunter growing rapidly like Hwang Hana, or something else entirely.
‘Or perhaps a universally recognized genius who came to teach.’
Without hesitation, Dohyun concluded it was the latter.
If she were in the same situation as Hwang Hana, there’s no way he could have viewed her status window so easily in the first place.
Making this deduction, Dohyun observed the other messages appearing before him.
[You have successfully completed 『Analysis』.]
[The target’s caliber is still insufficient.]
[You acquire AP below the original amount.]
[You acquire 1000 AP.]
Twice the AP he’d gained from Jiyuchan.
But it didn’t end there.
[You have 『Analysis』d Hanalin’s skill 「Intermediate General Magic [D]」.]
[You have successfully 『Analysis』d 「Telekinetic Barrier [D]」 from 「Intermediate General Magic [D]」.]
[You have successfully 『Analysis』d 「Mana Barrier [D]」 from 「Intermediate General Magic [D]」.]
[You acquire a total of 300 AP.]
‘This is an incredible windfall.’
To receive such an unexpected fortune—he was genuinely grateful that Hanalin had been dispatched here.
Dohyun grinned widely, then closed the Analysis window that continued to appear, and after hearing Hanalin’s words, he offered a greeting.
However.
“I’m Dohyun. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“…I’m Hanalin.”
Hanalin, still maintaining her guard, spoke with sharp eyes as if warning him not to come any closer, and since Dohyun had no intention of approaching her anyway, he remained still in place.
And as Dohyun was thinking this, Hanalin was experiencing a similar sensation.
It was a phenomenon she’d never encountered before. To regard someone as the center of the world—such thoughts were typically reserved for oneself, were they not?
Especially for Hanalin, who was revered as a genius, such feelings should be far more familiar directed inward.
Yet Hanalin had unmistakably felt it.
For a moment, she’d distinctly sensed that the world was revolving around this man called Dohyun, but now, looking again, the sensation had vanished as cleanly as if it were merely a misperception.
‘What on earth is this?’
From what was immediately visible, Dohyun’s physique appeared specialized in technique—that is, a body optimized for a Hunter.
While an ordinary person couldn’t sense the mana dwelling within another, Hanalin, who was exceptionally sensitive to mana and possessed control superior to anyone, could perceive it.
His current body was far beyond the level of someone who’d only just enlisted.
Moreover.
‘It seems like I’ve already mastered the technique….’
To the extent that I could feel mana settling into my body, I could vaguely tell whether I could use techniques, but from Hanalin’s perspective, Dohyun appeared to have already mastered a technique.
It was hard to believe that he’d already mastered a technique when he’d only just entered, but since Hanalin trusted her own senses, she could be certain.
That man right now was someone who had mastered a technique.
Even Hanalin had only learned it on the second day of technique and magic instruction. And the same went for Hwang Hana. It was truly absurd, but something even stranger was felt.
Like the technique dwelling in Dohyun’s body, there was a trace of mana felt near his heart.
‘…He’s mastered magic too?’
At this point, her trust in her own senses, which she had believed in so firmly, seemed to waver.
Unable to fathom what was happening, she shook her head at the absurd thought.
‘That can’t be right.’
She thought that her senses had been disrupted by that strange phenomenon just now. Believing she was making some grave mistake, she spun her body around abruptly.
Staying here any longer might bring on a headache. As Hanalin used telekinetic magic again on the suitcase she’d dropped to head toward the Instructor Building, something spilled out through a gap as the suitcase opened slightly from the impact of the fall.
Was it because she’d turned her body? Or had she been too distracted by the confusing situation to notice?
Either way, Hanalin didn’t feel something falling.
Watching Hanalin head toward the Instructor Building, Choe Phil, who was likewise heading there with a quiet chuckle, also failed to notice.
Thud.
“Huh?”
Only Dohyun had seen the fallen object, so after a moment of hesitation, he picked up what Hanalin had dropped and called out to her.
“Hanalin, Instructor? You dropped this.”
“…What?”
Turning to look at Dohyun as if questioning what he meant, Hanalin saw in that instant the pajamas with her character embroidered on them held in Dohyun’s hands.
In that moment, the always cold expression and sharp gaze that Hanalin had maintained crumbled away rapidly.
“!!!”
Pitter-patter.
Hanalin rushed over in a panic unlike any other time and snatched the pajamas from Dohyun’s hands.
Though embarrassed, since she had received help, Hanalin spoke to Dohyun again with her usual cold expression and sharp gaze.
“Thank you.”
Her voice seemed somewhat defiant, but it lacked the composure and gentleness of before.
Moreover, seeing her ears flushed red in contrast to her pale skin, Dohyun tactfully turned his head away and pretended not to notice.
“Not at all. Enjoy your meal.”
Having said that, as Dohyun quietly left, Hanalin quickly folded the pajamas neatly and held them to her chest.
And unlike Dohyun who had departed, Choe Phil, who remained, chuckled and spoke.
“Looks like you’re glad you came.”
“…Be quiet.”
Speaking with an irritated tone, Hanalin floated her suitcase and headed quickly toward the Instructor Dormitory Building.
Since she’d entered this place from the beginning, she could find her way well enough without Choe Phil’s guidance. Watching Hanalin disappear into the distance, Choe Phil chuckled heartily and muttered to himself.
“So the great Hanalin has finally met someone who can fluster her.”
Choe Phil thought that life at the Training Facility would become even more entertaining from now on.
* * *
Never imagining anything would happen before arriving at the Trainee Cafeteria, Dohyun finally managed to arrive after overcoming various obstacles.
And so, the Trainee Cafeteria.
As Dohyun arrived late while everyone was already gathered eating, his Team 1 members looked at him with questioning expressions, asking what had happened.
“Why are you so late?”
“Oh, something came up.”
“I see.”
While everyone ate without making much of it, Dohyun also began eating and casually opened the Analysis window he had postponed earlier, as if checking his phone.
Then the words appeared before him.
[You have analyzed Hanalin’s skills 「Ether Heart [S]」 and 「Empress’s Dignity [A]」.]
[These are skills above the standard threshold.]
[You can acquire the skills by consuming 『AP』.]
[The target’s grade is in a weakened state.]
[By meeting the conditions, you can acquire the skills for half the 『AP』.]
[
『2000AP』
▶Will you acquire the skill 「Ether Heart [S]」 for 『1000AP』?]
[
『1000AP』
▶Will you acquire the skill 「Empress’s Dignity [A]」 for 『500AP』?]
‘Hmm, there’s nothing quite like this as a side dish to a meal.’
Just looking at it was enough to make one feel satiated.
Hanalin’s grade was still weak, so the price could be halved. And to think I could get both an S-Grade skill and an A-Grade skill at once?
Besides, hadn’t I just obtained 1300AP from analyzing Hanalin’s status window and magic? This was definitely worth acquiring.
However.
‘What happens if I acquire Empress’s Dignity?’
As curiosity bloomed within Dohyun, our helpful Analysis provided the answer.
[Upon acquiring the skill 「Empress’s Dignity [A]」, the skill will transform to suit the user.]
‘Oh, it even provides customization.’
I couldn’t resist this.
Dohyun selected Ether Heart first.
[You have acquired the skill 「Ether Heart [S]」.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will rise slightly below their original level.]
[Due to the acquired skill, your Mana permanently increases by +10.]
[You cannot use this skill at its original power.]
In an instant, Dohyun felt as though everything in the world was being drawn into him.
It was as if the very source of the world was flowing into his being.
Whether it was due to the increase in mana or some other cause, he couldn’t tell.
But just from that alone, his mana had increased by 10 in a single moment.
And it wasn’t merely his mana that increased.
Dohyun felt as though he possessed a new perspective or sense that he had never experienced before.
When breathing, there was no foreign sensation, yet far more seemed to flow in with each breath than usual—Dohyun observed this intently, and before he knew it, he couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.
‘Wow.’
The sight of mana pouring in madly was like witnessing the Milky Way itself flowing through his body with each breath.
Moreover, mana felt far more perceptible than before, and it seemed to respond more readily to his will.
As Dohyun marveled at the sensation—as mysterious as the cosmos itself—he suddenly realized there was one more skill remaining, snapping himself back to focus.
And the other skill, Empress’s Authority—let me pay the AP for that as well.
[You have acquired the skill 「Empress’s Authority [A]」.]
[The skill transforms to match the user.]
[「Empress’s Authority [A]」▶「Sovereign’s Authority [A]」 transforms.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will increase slightly beyond their original level.]
[Due to the acquired skill, Strength, Agility, and Stamina permanently increase by +2 each.]
[You cannot use this skill at its full power.]
‘Insane.’
How does it all rise at once like this? At this point, it was almost terrifying. Not that I was truly afraid, but that’s how it felt—regardless, I gazed at my transformed stats.
『Dohyun』
『Trait: Analysis [Ex]』
『Skills』
▶「Ether Heart [S]」
▶「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」
▶「Sovereign’s Authority [A]」
▶「Pressure [B]」
…(More)
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 10▶12」
▶「Agility: 17▶19」
▶「Stamina: 10▶12」
▶「Mana: 14▶24」
『Points』
▶「P: 230」
▶「AP: 230」
‘Wow.’
Now I too had a “More” section appearing.
It’s already showing “More” now—what’s going to happen when technique and magic training starts later?
As I pondered this while eating, my teammates approached and spoke to me.
“They said magic training starts right after we finish eating!”
“I heard they’re starting with a magic aptitude test?”
“Ah, I wish I had talent for magic too.”
“I’m satisfied with things as they are now.”
Dohyun chuckled as he listened to everyone chattering away.
Magic training right after meals—it would be an excellent opportunity to immediately verify the effects of the Ether Heart, he thought.
