Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Early Discharge (3)
After dinner, Dohyun arrived at the Magic Training Grounds while enduring the stares of the other Trainees, where he found Hanalin practicing magic.
Dust particles suspended in midair converging into a single point before being fired—a spell resembling an energy cannon. Anyone observing it might have assumed it was wind-attribute magic, but Dohyun could see exactly what it was.
[You have analyzed Hanalin’s skill “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You have successfully analyzed “Telekinetic Bullet [F]” from the skill “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You have acquired 10 AP.]
[This is a skill below the standard threshold.]
[You acquire the skill without consuming AP (Analysis Points).]
[You have acquired “Telekinetic Bullet [F]” from the skill “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You possess stats exceeding the standard threshold.]
[Your stats do not increase.]
‘Well.’
Was this a lesson the moment I arrived?
I was able to learn a magic spell right away.
Dohyun examined the Basic General Magic through Analysis with gratitude.
Basic elemental magic was self-explanatory from its name alone, but general magic felt somewhat ambiguous, so I needed to take a look.
When I examined it through Analysis, it explained quite helpfully.
『Basic General Magic [F]』
▶Unlike elemental magic, it refers to the fundamentals of non-elemental magic that possess no attribute.
▶Telekinesis and similar techniques that exert physical force fall into this category.
‘Just as I expected.’
For someone who’d played games before, it was quite an intuitive explanation. Analysis truly is remarkable.
As Dohyun marveled inwardly, Hanalin—who had already noticed his arrival—was observing him with rather sharp eyes.
“You’ve arrived.”
“Yes.”
Internally, I wanted to say “You told me to come,” but well, she was an instructor after all. When I responded with proper courtesy, Hanalin nodded in acknowledgment.
And as a confirmation.
“The magic I just used…”
“This one?”
Before Hanalin could even finish speaking, Dohyun generated a Telekinetic Bullet in his palm, and those characteristically sharp eyes softened slightly before returning to their usual intensity.
Then Hanalin said nothing more.
‘Truly a monster.’
No matter how many times I witnessed it, I couldn’t comprehend such talent, and Hanalin shook her head. It didn’t seem like a normal lesson would be possible at this rate.
From the start, she hadn’t intended to teach him the way she would other Mage Trainees. Since Dohyun was a monster-like talent who could learn simply from being shown something, there was no need to be particularly kind. So Hanalin spoke to him.
“I’ll simply demonstrate without much explanation, so you can learn on your own, right?”
It was slightly provocative in tone, but Hanalin meant it without any malice whatsoever.
And Dohyun felt the same way.
“Oh! Of course!”
Responding with a bright smile and not a trace of ill intent, as if he actually welcomed it, Hanalin pursed her lips with a slightly scratched expression and began demonstrating her magic as if to say, “Then learn it yourself!”
It was impossible to tell whether this was magical education or a magical demonstration.
Instead, Dohyun wore a pleased smile, and as a result.
[You have acquired the skill “Gravity Reduction [F]” from “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You have acquired the skill “Telekinetic Bullet [F]” from “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You have acquired the skill “Grease [F]” from “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You have acquired the skill “Echo [F]” from “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
…(omitted)
[You have acquired all spells from “Basic General Magic [F]”.]
[You possess stats above the standard threshold.]
[Your stats will not increase further.]
I had accomplished the extraordinary feat of mastering basic general magic in a single day.
“Ugh!”
Hanalin, so absorbed she’d forgotten to speak, let out a small sigh of frustration, but I pretended not to notice.
* * *
As I received separate magic lessons, time flew like an arrow, and now on the seventh day since entering the Training Facility, everyone tilted their heads at the unusual schedule.
Normally this would be sparring practice time, but when the Instructors guided everyone to the command platform of the Outdoor Training Ground—where they usually gathered only during dawn physical training—the Instructors themselves assembled atop the platform.
While Trainees were always gathered together, it was the first time all the Instructors had assembled before them like this. After a moment of bewilderment, the Trainees murmured as they gazed with trembling eyes at the banner written on the command platform.
“Early discharge ceremony?”
“It’s Dohyun and Yuchan.”
“Ah, so they’re being discharged.”
“…I had a feeling.”
Everyone nodded, saying it was regrettable but understandable for those two.
It was only natural. Through the Instructors, the Trainees had already sensed that Dohyun and Jiyuchan were far beyond ordinary Trainees—they were exceptional individuals outside the standard range.
Even Jiyuchan alone was remarkable, but Dohyun, who overwhelmingly surpassed him, went without saying.
If Dohyun had achieved the greatest growth in a week, then Jiyuchan had come right behind him.
I couldn’t help but acknowledge Jiyuchan’s abilities.
‘That’s true talent.’
While I had certainly made efforts, most of my growth came from Analysis clicking into place and making me stronger. Jiyuchan, however, had achieved results through pure talent and effort. If anything, I couldn’t help but feel a certain respect for him.
And this was the result.
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
『Skills』
▶「Swordsmanship [A]」
▶「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」
▶「Mana Control [E]」
▶「Ambush [F]」
▶「Intimidation [F]」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 8▶18」
▶「Agility: 8▶17」
▶「Stamina: 9▶19」
▶「Mana: 12▶20」
Apart from mana, most of his physical stats were approaching 20, and his mana had already reached 20. Moreover, his skills were equally impressive.
‘There’s no other Trainee besides me with five or more skills.’
While magic had many varieties, Jiyuchan possessed more than twice the number of skills compared to Guminah and Han Junseo, who were learning magic.
That guy really is different, Dohyun thought, glancing at his own stats.
『Dohyun』
『Trait: Analysis [Ex]』
『Skills』
▶「Ether Heart [S]」
▶「Platinum Sword King’s Intuition [A]」
▶「Sovereign’s Dignity [A]」
▶「…(See More)」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 16▶21」
▶「Agility: 24▶25」
▶「Stamina: 15▶20」
▶「Mana: 27▶29」
『Points』
▶「P: 230」
▶「AP: 230」
‘Hmm.’
Having thought Jiyuchan so remarkable, seeing a status window even more impressive left me speechless. How could I help it when my stats rose just from observing? Still, acknowledging Jiyuchan’s abilities was the truth.
I thought that if I had obtained an S-rank trait like Jiyuchan, I could never have developed it to this extent.
To the other Trainees, I probably looked like I was working just as frantically as Jiyuchan, but it was all thanks to Analysis.
I could see growth happening with every action I took, and even just observing others and analyzing them brought advancement. How could I not do it? The driving force and the tangible pleasure of growth were displayed so intuitively that I couldn’t help but push forward.
Analysis was that broken.
‘I was just lucky.’
As I reflected on the week’s events and lost myself in thought, Hwang Hana stood on the platform above the assembly grounds, looking at Dohyun and Jiyuchan among the Trainees.
“Dohyun, Jiyuchan. Come up to the assembly grounds.”
As the two ascended, Hwang Hana called out to them and the other Trainees.
“We will now begin the early graduation ceremony for these two.”
Before the Trainees could even react to Hwang Hana’s formal speech—something they’d never heard from her at the Training Facility—the ceremony began. While it wasn’t particularly grand or elaborate, all the Trainees watching Dohyun and Jiyuchan standing on the platform felt something overwhelming welling up inside them.
It was only a week, but perhaps because they’d lived so intensely here compared to their lives in society, seeing those two recognized for their achievements within that single week stirred something profound in their hearts.
The other Trainees felt it even more keenly because they had worked alongside them, sweating and striving under their influence.
The Trainees gazed at their respective squad leaders, their hearts heavy, and as Hwang Hana surveyed them, Jiyuchan, and Dohyun, she spoke quietly.
“The Training Facility is a place where many awaken their potential and grow, but sometimes individuals appear who have surpassed what even this place can teach.”
At her words, both the Trainees and the Instructors fixed their gaze on the two.
Dohyun and Jiyuchan stood with solemn composure, and Hwang Hana continued.
“Dohyun and Jiyuchan. You two have grown faster than anyone and proven yourselves more fiercely than anyone. Your relentless efforts have become an example to the other Trainees, inspiring further growth, and as dependable squad leaders, you have guided your members forward.”
Everyone couldn’t help but agree with those words. Though it had been a short time, they all knew well that these two truly deserved to be here. And at the thought that they would see them no more, several Trainees wiped away tears.
Some lamented their departure, some acknowledged their worth, and still others gazed upon them with admiring eyes, yet the departure ceremony pressed on relentlessly.
“Though your time here was brief, both of your footprints will remain etched in the history of this Training Facility. May you take what you’ve learned here as a foundation and continue to break through your limits at the Black Gate. Now it is time for you to leave this place and walk your own paths. The Training Facility looks forward to witnessing your continued growth. On behalf of all the Instructors, Chief Instructor Hwang Hana.”
With those words, Hwang Hana handed both of them their Training Facility Completion Certificates and Discharge Certificates like commendations, and they both received them from her before exchanging handshakes.
Realizing this was truly my departure, my expression brightened with a smile tinged with anticipation.
At last, I was entering the Black Gate.
As I stood there, anticipating the new world that truly awaited within the Black Gate, Jiyuchan beside me spoke.
“Thank you.”
“Hm?”
Since I hadn’t really done anything, I wore a bewildered expression at what he could possibly be thanking me for. Jiyuchan, having anticipated this, let out a soft laugh and continued.
“Thanks to you, I feel like I was able to grow.”
“Ah, you gave me motivation too.”
As we both spoke with genuine respect for each other, Jiyuchan, looking satisfied, continued.
“Though I lost this time, I’ll work harder and show you how much I’ve grown when we meet next.”
It was a bit cringey to say, but given that we were departing, I thought it was understandable, so I nodded in agreement.
Then I grasped the hand he extended and shook it while speaking.
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”
I didn’t know when that would be, but I felt it was possible with Jiyuchan.
Thus a small farewell gathering was held with all the Instructors and Trainees together, and my and Jiyuchan’s departure ceremony came to an end as we returned to society.
And the next day.
“You’re one of Hunter Dohyun’s Party Members.”
….
“Ahem, shall we see how much you’ve grown?”
Unfortunately, the two of us were able to meet again the very next day.
Jiyuchan’s face flushed deeply from embarrassment as he turned his head away, but in any case, our departure proceeded smoothly.
‘Or was it?’
