Chapter 56
Chapter 56: The Golden Sword Saint (3)
The Golden Sword Saint?
I’d heard of the Platinum Sword Saint, but the Golden Sword Saint? Wondering if I might have misread something, I opened Jiyuchan’s status window just to be sure.
Then.
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
‘Right?’
Analysis assured me that I hadn’t misread it.
Curious about what this Golden Sword Saint actually was, I requested a more detailed explanation, and Analysis provided one.
『The Golden Sword Manual』
▶「A manual detailing the Golden Sword technique used by the Golden Sword Saint [A].」
▶「Though called a foundational sword technique, it is the basic swordsmanship that Cheonryuhwi, the first Platinum Sword Saint, learned before mastering the Platinum Sword for his own family line.」
▶「Despite being a foundational technique, its power is said to exceed that of most A-rank sword techniques.」
▶「As befits a foundational technique, it aids in solidifying one’s inner mindscape.」
※We recommend learning it.
‘Insane.’
Seeing this, I scratched my head at how fortunate I was to stumble upon something like this.
I didn’t know who this first Platinum Sword Saint, Cheonryuhwi, was, but I suspected he might have been one of humanity’s first to connect with the Black Gate.
Still, why would humanity with such a powerful sword technique family line fall into ruin?
I shook my head, stopping that line of thought.
I’d find out when I read the history manual at home later.
Without dwelling on it further, I selected that and continued searching to see if there was anything for Hanalin as well. Perhaps there might be something about spirit summoning circles? While thinking that, I discovered something else peculiar.
『The Manual of Intention』
▶「A manual describing methods of infusing and blending intention into magic.」
▶「Since mana is ultimately a method of expressing the user’s imagination as law in the world, infusing one’s intention into it would allow for manifesting even more powerful laws.」
▶「Beyond merely creating laws through magic circles and formulas alone, it describes hints on how to transcend laws and embed one’s inner mindscape through the addition of intention.」
※We recommend learning it.
Then I found another one.
Unfortunately it wasn’t related to spirits, but it was still magic-related.
Seeing that it dealt with intention, and reading the detailed explanation, I was certain.
It was a method to make magic exponentially more powerful.
‘When I asked before, they said points were needed to learn advanced magic, right?’
Since intermediate magic was D-rank and advanced magic started at C-rank, it seemed plausible.
Even just being a D-rank Hunter meant you were practically superhuman. You couldn’t use the sword force or aura blades you’d see in martial arts novels or fantasy stories, but you could use sword energy, the stage just before that.
In fact, I could already emit sword energy right now.
That’s why there was a considerable gap even between hunters of the same rank starting from D-rank.
By ordinary standards, D-rank was practically superhuman.
One shouldn’t dismiss it simply because it’s D-rank.
Then how exceptional would C-rank, the advanced tier, be?
I had gotten sidetracked, but regardless, Hanalin had been searching for methods to utilize intermediate-tier magic effectively, given how expensive advanced-tier magic was. And she had found a textbook that described one such method.
‘I never thought I’d actually find it.’
Finding Intent Magic was one thing, but obtaining the Golden Sword could genuinely be called a stroke of fortune.
Moreover, I had already received permission from Analysis to learn both techniques. If I let this opportunity slip away, I would be beyond foolish—utterly incomprehensible.
After purchasing both the Golden Sword textbook and the Intent Magic textbook, I naturally paid the points to learn them both.
The price was halved because I possessed the textbooks.

[You have acquired Swordsmanship – 「Golden Sword[A]」.]
[You have acquired Magic – 「Intent Magic[A]」.]
[This ability exceeds your current stats.]
[You cannot use it at its full power.]
I knew these weren’t ordinary skills, but I hadn’t expected the notification to appear like this.
I checked to see if a new window had appeared besides the skill window, but it hadn’t.

‘Well, that’s not it then.’
Regardless, I had obtained them, so I didn’t dwell on it.
As the foundational forms of the Golden Sword and various sword techniques flooded my mind, I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
This meant there were other sword techniques as well.
‘Is there something like the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique?’
If there were, I’d learn it immediately.
But what were the odds of finding something like that in a place like this? I was well aware that obtaining the Golden Sword and Intent Magic was already a stroke of fortune.
Still, greed got the better of me, and I searched meticulously through everything else before confirming there was nothing more. I sighed with regret.
Watching me pull out two new books and search through them so thoroughly, both Jiyuchan and Hanalin had to abandon their expectations.
They knew well enough that finding anything else here was unrealistic, so they weren’t too disappointed.
Just as the two of them were feeling disappointed, I handed them the textbooks containing the Golden Sword and Intent Magic respectively.
When they looked at me in surprise upon receiving the textbooks, I explained.
“This is a textbook containing the Golden Sword technique, and this one explains how to infuse intent into magic.”
“Yes, yes!?”
“The… Golden Sword?”
Both of them were startled by my words and looked at me, so I explained it step by step.
I described the Golden Sword as one of the fundamental sword techniques—a stable, solid swordplay learned before mastering more advanced techniques.
When I went further and compared it to the basic martial arts of major sects in martial arts novels, Jiyuchan immediately responded, apparently having read some.
“You mean something like the Six Harmony Sword Method!?”
“Oh, we’re on the same page?”
“…???”
Unlike Jiyuchan and me, who understood each other, Hanalin had a blank expression as if asking what that meant. I chuckled and explained the basics of intent magic to her.
I told her it was a method of infusing one’s own intent—one’s will—into magic to make it stronger, and that understanding this would provide hints on how to embed the Inner Mindscape into magic.
I was about to explain it like fantasy magic’s Inner Mindscape magic, but Hanalin could understand it immediately without needing to go that far.
“I understand.”
“Ah.”
I was a bit deflated at being cut off before I could explain further, but my expression brightened at what Hanalin and Jiyuchan said next.
“Thank you so much.”
“Thanks a lot.”
When both of them thanked me sincerely, I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and nodded.
They’re my party members, so this much is something I can provide. Of course, I had already mastered everything myself, so there was no loss on my end. I wondered if there were any other items, but since everything was either too expensive or useless, I had to give up on buying anything at the Department Store.
Still, after wandering around and shopping for so long, it turned out to be quite fun—we all left the Department Store in good spirits.
As we stepped outside, the darkening night sky greeted us.
“Time really flew by.”
We had met just after lunch, but it was already evening.
Looking at the time, it was well past evening, nearly night.
We had been shopping without realizing how much time had passed.
“Right? I didn’t notice the time either.”
“It was more fun than I expected.”
“Really.”
“Good then.”
Hearing them say that made me feel satisfied as well.
We hadn’t made any purchases, but my negotiation skills were quite good, so I was content. Now that night had fallen, I was starting to feel hungry, so I rubbed my stomach and muttered.
“I’m getting hungry. I’m thinking of eating nearby—what about you two?”
As I said that, both of them turned their heads toward me simultaneously and answered.
“Let’s eat together.”
“Let’s eat together.”
When they both spoke at the same time, I chuckled, thinking we had good chemistry, and suggested we all eat together.
So we headed to a Korean BBQ Restaurant for dinner, a place with no particular dislikes.
Perhaps because it was a weeknight, there weren’t many customers.
Though located in downtown Seoul, the restaurant had a simple, unpretentious appearance. That’s probably why the Dohyun Party thought it looked quite nice and entered.
The chairs were uncomfortable cylindrical ones, and the table was made of a circular iron plate, but the cozy atmosphere perfectly reflected the feeling of what a proper Korean BBQ Restaurant should be like.
Dohyun murmured wistfully, taking in the nostalgic atmosphere.
“It’s been ages since I’ve been to a place like this.”
I used to come here fairly often back in college, but thinking about it now, this is probably my first time at a Korean BBQ Restaurant since graduation.
As Dohyun spoke, Jiyuchan nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, I think we came here pretty regularly back in college.”
“Exactly.”
As Dohyun and Jiyuchan said this, Hanalin spoke up with a hint of embarrassment.
“This is actually my first time eating Korean BBQ at a place like this.”
“What?”
“…How is that even possible?”
At their reaction, Hanalin’s ears flushed slightly as she whispered her explanation.
“I was studying abroad and only just awakened and came back….”
“Oh? So you’re from a wealthy family.”
“Not everyone who studies abroad is rich, but it does seem like you fit the bill.”
“D-don’t tease me.”
Watching the embarrassed Hanalin, they laughed heartily and proceeded to place the Korean BBQ and accompanying kimchi and bean sprouts on the grill, eating with gusto.
After finishing the meal so deliciously, the three of them parted ways.
It had been a truly fulfilling day.
As Dohyun headed home, he thought to himself.
‘I absolutely need to rest at home tomorrow.’
He’d been having such busy days lately that he really needed a break.
By the time Dohyun arrived home, slept deeply, and woke up, the group chat for the Dohyun Party was exploding with messages.
‘What’s going on?’
Wondering if something urgent had happened, he checked the messages.
[Jiyuchan: Dohyun, I came to the Association to pay points for an Analysis, but it says the cost is 3 million points?]
[Hanalin: Yuchan too? I’m also being told it’s 3 million points? What do we do?]
“…Ah.”
Upon seeing those two messages, Dohyun realized he wouldn’t be resting peacefully today either, and he sent a reply while rubbing his face with both hands.
[I’ll be right there.]
After sending the message, Dohyun thought to himself.
‘Weren’t those two supposed to be geniuses?’
He noticed they were increasingly relying on him lately and tilted his head in puzzlement, but well, wasn’t it all good in the end?
Besides, Dohyun himself needed to learn and adapt through direct experience, so teaching them wasn’t exactly a loss. He went to the Bathroom, washed up, and changed into fresh clothes.
Then he got into a taxi heading to the Association.
While I’m at it, I might as well.
‘I should get the Guardian’s body adapted as well.’
