Chapter 295
295: New Heart Method (2)
Hasty couldn’t comprehend the situation unfolding before him. During his first sparring match with Jiyuchan, he hadn’t sensed anything amiss.
Jiyuchan was strong and possessed respectable skill, but at that moment he was weaker than Hasty, so Hasty had secured victory without difficulty.
Even when he later faced Hezway, he detected nothing unusual.
Hezway was formidable, but his level was comparable to or slightly below Jiyuchan’s, so Hasty triumphed without struggle.
It was then that Hasty noticed something peculiar.
During his second sparring match with Jiyuchan, he could sense that Jiyuchan had grown stronger than during their first encounter.
There was no way to overlook the anomaly.
‘What is this?’
‘He’s become stronger than before.’
‘It’s not even a subtle increase.’
He had definitely grown stronger.
Noticeably so.
Hasty couldn’t help but express bewilderment. It wasn’t as though Jiyuchan had been concealing his power—Hasty would have detected that better than anyone.
Yet there were no signs of deception, and sensing that both times Jiyuchan had fought with his full strength, Hasty had no choice but to acknowledge that Jiyuchan had grown stronger in the interim.
His physical attributes had increased.
And quite steeply at that.
In that moment, wondering what sorcery could produce such rapid growth—something that would take others far longer to achieve—Hasty recalled the barrier Dohyun had erected before departing.
‘Could it be?’
‘No.’
‘Such a barrier couldn’t possibly exist.’
Hasty dismissed the notion as impossible, yet after claiming victory over Jiyuchan a second time and facing Hezway for the second bout, he felt his muscles tremor and muttered aloud.
“My strength….”
“…has increased.”
“How is this possible?”
In that instant, he felt his physical strength surge beyond its previous level.
The increase was marginal, yet at Hasty’s current tier, genuine strength gains required far more time. For his power to rise even slightly after merely four sparring matches defied all logic.
Moreover, sensing that Hezway’s attributes had similarly increased just as Jiyuchan’s had, Hasty swallowed hard.
Wondering if this was the magic behind their formidable strength, Hasty found himself at a loss for words.
If he continued sparring here repeatedly?
‘I could keep growing?’
‘This is insane.’
‘It’s unbelievable.’
Hasty laughed with genuine, almost uncontainable joy.
Truly, this was the finest place imaginable.
Though he hadn’t sought out sparring to this degree, there existed Asura clansmen who would sell their souls to demons for the sake of growth, and Hasty could only rejoice.
If this was the case, everything changed.
He was even willing to pay for repeated sparring matches, when—
Dohyun returned to the Training Ground.
“Oh? Everyone’s improved quite a bit?”
“Hah, I can definitely see the growth.”
“Yuchan’s right. Seeing them improve is more entertaining than I expected.”
As Jiyuchan and Hezway spoke, Dohyun chuckled and casually tossed two books to them.
Naturally, they were the Heavenly Steel Golden Scripture and the Twilight Radiance Mirror.
The moment the books were thrown, Jiyuchan and Hezway’s eyes sparkled as they caught them.
Dohyun spoke as he watched them.
“I’ve written out the interpretations too, so train with them inside the barrier.”
As Dohyun said this, he pointed toward Hanalin and Vera, who were learning the Ether Spectrum on one side of the barrier, and Jiyuchan and Hezway clutched the books like puppies receiving their first treat, heading in that direction.
Finally learning a new technique!
Watching the two of them depart with such excitement, Dohyun felt satisfied with his decision and smiled contentedly.
As Dohyun stood there pleased, Hasty also observed the atmosphere and spoke to him.
“A fine Party you have.”
“Their talents are truly dazzling.”
“You’ve worked hard. Then.”
After saying this, Hasty, somewhat exhausted from four consecutive matches, began to leave when Dohyun’s expression turned peculiar, his eyes blinking as he looked at Hasty.
Hasty, seeing Dohyun’s gaze, made a questioning expression, and Dohyun spoke to him.
“You’re leaving already?”
“…?”
“Aren’t they all trying to master new techniques?”
“If that’s the case, they won’t be able to spar…?”
When Hasty spoke as if genuinely confused, Dohyun blinked and pointed to himself.
Then.
“I’m here.”
“Huh!?”
“What!?”
“Eh!?”
Hasty had awakened less than an hour ago—not even a full day—and despite having just engaged in that intense battle, he stood there in disbelief at Dohyun’s proposal to fight again.
However, Dohyun muttered as if exasperated.
“I had high hopes since you’re a combat race, but fine, go rest.”
As Dohyun spoke with obvious disappointment, Hasty felt his pride wounded, but seeing that Dohyun wasn’t trying to provoke him—he genuinely meant for him to leave—Dohyun waved his hand dismissively and began preparing to train alone.
Witnessing this, something boiled up inside Hasty, and he cried out.
“No!”
“Come on!”
“Let’s spar!”
At his shout, Dohyun smiled with a knowing expression, and the moment Hasty met that smile, he realized it was a mistake—but what could he do?
He’d already made his choice.
As Hasty continued into a second, third, fourth, and fifth match with Dohyun, he—born as one of the Asura Clan—experienced a day where, for the first time in his life, combat became something he slightly despised.
He also came to understand just how vicious and merciless Dohyun could be.
‘A battle fiend.’
‘The true Battle Fiend.’
‘We were the counterfeit.’
A fake that dwindled to insignificance before the genuine article.
* * *
Upon re-entering the B-Rank Zone on the first day, it was an extraordinarily hectic affair.
I’d acquired Lecia’s Secret Research Laboratory, and afterward picked up—no, brought along—Hasty, an Asura Clan member, enabling effective sparring sessions. On top of that, I’d obtained a new Heart Technique, making the day remarkably busy and chaotic.
The following day proved equally frenzied.
The Overseer Party, learning the Mana Cultivation Method and Heart Techniques, remained in deep meditative training through the second day. Dohyun, who’d promised to spar with Hasty, had set up barriers in each member’s Dormitory room, allowing everyone to train comfortably in their own space.
Jiyuchan and Hezway, each learning different Heart Techniques, were cultivating in the Study Room, while Hanalin and Vera, both mastering the same Ether Spectrum, practiced the Mana Cultivation Method together in the same room.
From Hanalin to Jiyuchan, Hezway, and even Vera—who wasn’t particularly fond of training—everyone was absorbed in their work.
And among them, Hanalin, who’d been delving into the Mana Cultivation Method from the very beginning, experienced a transformation.
“Ah.”
With that brief exclamation, Hanalin gently closed her eyes, and in that instant, mana swirled violently around her, being drawn inward.
Her eyes and hair, which had been glowing with a soft blue luminescence from the mana, began to deepen in color, while the swirling mana coalesced within her chest.
This was no mere Mana Heart.
Hanalin’s existing skill, Ether Heart, had merged with the Ether Spectrum and advanced to a new stage—an Ether Heart far superior to a Mana Heart now took residence in her chest.
Her magical power had increased, though that wasn’t the most significant change.
‘Ah.’
She felt the purity of the mana contained within the Ether Heart had vastly improved, and thanks to the Ether Heart, she could now rapidly distribute and expel mana throughout her entire body.
And most importantly, she felt her Inner Mindscape had expanded further, breaking into a radiant smile.
Her previously existing Inner Mindscape had been gradually filled with magic, but now it felt as though the magic itself was expanding her consciousness.
Conversely, the magic filling her mindscape was becoming increasingly concrete.
A universe unto itself, one might say?
Though the sensation differed slightly from the microcosm principle Dohyun had realized, the formulas inscribed through the Celestial Orbit Method began etching themselves into her mindscape, and a universe crafted from magic started taking shape within Hanalin’s consciousness.
Observing Hanalin’s eyes, now noticeably more profound, Vera expressed genuine delight.
“Congratulations, Hanalin!”
Seeing Vera celebrate with such sincerity as if it were her own achievement, Hanalin smiled softly and expressed her gratitude.
“Phew, I finally did it. Thank you.”
“I need to catch up soon too.”
“You’ll manage it quickly.”
Vera spoke with firm resolve, and Hanalin offered her encouragement in return.
Then Hanalin rose to her feet, and Vera responded as if she already knew what Hanalin intended to do.
“Be careful out there.”
“I will.”
With a determined expression, Vera cheered Hanalin on, and Hanalin headed to the Training Ground with that same resolute demeanor.
There, she could see Hasty, battered and bruised, stretching all three of his arms toward her in a plea for help.
Of course.
“Not a chance.”
I said that and cast healing magic on Hasty, who then stared at me with his six glistening eyes, and I spoke.
“Round 32 starts now.”
“Just kill me.”
“At this point, it would be an honorable death.”
“Please.”
As Hasty continued his rambling, Hanalin stepped forward before Dohyun, and the moment he saw her, his face brightened with delight.
He could perceive her realm the instant he laid eyes upon her.
“You succeeded!”
“Yes, thanks to you, brother.”
As Dohyun spoke with evident joy, Hanalin responded with a pleased smile of her own.
Then Hanalin’s laughter faded, and she fixed Dohyun with a resolute expression, causing him to pause and wonder what she wished to say.
Her gravity and determination made even Dohyun hesitate slightly, and Hasty, reading the atmosphere, rolled his eyes and muttered.
“Oho?” “Dohyun.” “A man, huh.”
As Hasty watched the scene with evident anticipation.
Hanalin carefully opened her mouth to speak.
“…Would it be alright if I asked for one favor?”
At her meaningful words, Dohyun remained silent, but Hasty’s lips twitched as he observed the two of them—had there been popcorn, he would have munched on it while watching. Then Hanalin spoke.
“Please spar with me.”
“Huh?” “What?” “Eh?”
At those words, Hasty’s expression fell as he looked at Hanalin, while Dohyun, as if he’d expected this all along, grinned widely and spoke.
“Oh? You’re confident, then?”
“I’m not confident, but I need to test it. Who is the strongest mage in our Party.”
“Alright.”
Dohyun answered with a smirk, and Hanalin, her expression steely, widened the distance between them and prepared for the sparring match immediately.
And Hasty.
“This Party.”
“Is insane.”
“Completely mad.”
As Hasty thought whether any Party had ever heard such words from an Asura, Hanalin and Dohyun’s magic began to unfold.
