CH 158

: test (4)

Jamie quietly alternated between the two screens.

Taking in as a disciple is taking it in, and I had to check how far I had to learn the 'whole body breathing method'.

"Can you learn it in one day?"

Jamie took less than a day.

Of course, he was assisted by Black, but that was to improve Rinmer's whole-body breathing method into his own.

It was not their own method, but the idea of making them inherit Linmer's breathing method.

Unless you have a black-level magic assistant, you cannot use the same breathing method as yourself.

Of course, the formula was slightly modified to match the characteristics of Anne and Lennon.

'Anne is gifted with a scholar's talent, but her magical talent is poor. So even if it's slow, it's in the direction of building up slowly.'

Anne can imitate what she has seen once on the spot.

If it were her, she would quickly learn the whole body breathing technique. However, her energy and heart's core will not be able to handle the mana absorbed through her body.

So, instead of slightly reducing the amount absorbed, it is designed to last for a long time.

It will take longer to meditate than others, but it will be more than 3 times as effective as the normal breathing method.

'On the contrary, the breathing method I gave Lennon accelerated the absorption.'

Lennon's magical talent is not lacking compared to other archmage.

It means that one day you will become an archmage.

So, without being rough, the whole body breathing method divided into 5 steps was designed to start from step 2.

As Lennon, who had already received many elixir from within the family, his core and gimaek were far superior to those of his peers.

However, it is impossible for Lennon to learn within today. It is true that he is talented in various fields as well as in magic, but he is not a genius.

Anne's insight penetrates the essence of magic at once, but Lennon must read, memorize, and understand.

Although she learns faster than others, it is not enough to compare her with Anne.

'But in the end, the level will be the same.'

Anne builds up, and Lennon explodes.

It is a self-evident fact that Lennon surpasses Anne in an instant the moment he learns the whole body breathing technique.

Of course, in the long run... .

"Lennon. It will depend on how far you go."

Jamie enjoyed watching the two boys and girls competing.

* * *

12 hours have passed.

The children in the age when they were supposed to run around were sitting still and looking at the magic book.

Anne was reading the spell book for the tenth time.

I understood.

I looked through every detail of how the procedure was structured, how the interaction was to maintain the whole-body breathing method, and how to take the breathing method to do that.

Still, the reason I read it over and over again was that understanding was not enough.

'If you want to, you can do it right now.'

No, it was already possible when I first read it.

The problem is that there's a difference between 'possible' and 'perfectly doable'.

Anne wanted to be perfect, and cautioned that ambiguity in success is worse than not doing it.

'Splitting mana is the most difficult thing.'

Delicate mana control is required to split mana. This part was the most difficult for Anne, who lacked magical talent.

It's not just Anne. Mana control was proportional to the state of the wizard, so it was natural for an excellent wizard to be good at mana control.

Lennon had a higher level of magic than Anne, but if you look at the magic society as a whole, Lennon's level itself was mediocre.

He, too, will not be able to overcome this difficulty easily.

'To feel the mana particles as grains and break them down to a size that can be absorbed by the skin . Does Jamie do this naturally?'

The magic book reads, In a safe place, cross-legged, and meditate without moving.

However, Jamie maintained the whole-body breathing technique in her daily life. How that was possible was beyond Anne's brilliant brain.

I realized once again that the nickname of the greatest talent in history is not for nothing.

'I'm stuck here... . The second condition is too harsh for me.'

Anne wept.

The first is to break the mana particles into a size that can be absorbed by the skin.

The second condition was the limit of the core to store mana.

The whole-body breathing method stores an overwhelming amount of mana in the core compared to the normal breathing method. In other words, if you use it frequently, it will put a strain on your heart.

This only slightly shortens the time compared to the conventional breathing method through the mouth.

There is only one way to solve this shortcoming.

'You have to extend the core to multiple places.'

The act of destroying the common sense of a wizard.

But Anne's eyes, lacking in magical talent, saw potential.

Lennon, on the other hand, was able to do both, unlike Anne, but was stuck in other areas.

" God damn it."

Even the drinking was not understood properly.

split particles?

increase the core?

I don't know how they are possible, and I don't know why they should.

"Why are you splitting mana? If you breathe through your skin, why would you do that?"

"Increase your core? It's conceptually impossible. The heart acts as a mana core thanks to the connection of all blood vessels and veins, and other organs cannot."

It was a stereotype that he had no choice but to hold because he was a wizard.

Lennon's stereotypes were so strong that he couldn't accept what he saw as it was.

He even wondered if Jamie Welton was doing this to tease him.

It was a pity that he was a 9-year-old boy, but it was Lennon who had no choice but to grow up like that.

'I can't. Even if you don't like me, there's no way I'm doing this now.'

Lennon trusted Jamie.

Above all, this breathing method is the only correct answer to maintain the ridiculous amount of mana that is accumulating in his body.

"Whoa it's terribly difficult."

How far did Anne go?

The guy's brain is unusual, so he may have understood the whole body breathing technique.

In fact, Anne had understood the theory itself, as he thought.

okay. The parts that require understanding are pushed by me. Let's admit it and let's go."

Being stubborn is enough for the past.

Lennon gave up understanding.

Looking at books alone is not in my temper.

"Let's hit it right now."

If you follow what is written in the magic book, you will be able to do something.

It's better to see than to hear, to do it yourself than to see.

If you feel it with your body, you will understand little by little, even if you do not want to understand it.

Lennon sat cross-legged and began to meditate as written in the magic book.

Without thinking about whether it would or not, he focused on splitting mana particles first.

His surroundings were dyed blue.

* * *

"Interesting."

Ann understood the whole-body breathing technique, as expected.

Lennon, as expected, did not understand the full-body breathing technique. It was a rough guess as to why I didn't understand, but I didn't expect the next method at all.

Lennon started using the whole-body breathing technique.

"Are you the type to hit and see?"

Jamie laughed.

Because it was unique. There is a big difference between what you experience with your body and what you don't experience as much as heaven and earth.

Jamie thought Lennon lacked action. He likes to act like a black screen. 'Heukmak' seems to have something if you just listen to it, but if you look closely, it's annoying to move directly.

Simply put, there is no action. I like to have someone do it, but I don't try to sell my own products.

So Lennon thought he could never beat Anne.

'I don't know if there has been a change in the past, or if this is what you were originally.'

It was positive.

It was especially good for things you had to do yourself, like the whole body breathing technique. If you're unlucky, you'll have a bad luck that will twist your gi-hyeol and make you a bad person, but I'm confident here.

As long as he has confidence, Lennon will not become a bad person.

"Anne. Do you think I need to get excited?"

Anne was a smart, action-packed child.

The problem is that when he sees magic that exceeds his level, he is at a loss as to how to compose it.

To compare, if you can't get past 10 seconds to run a 50m run, and learn to dance, it's a talent that confuses the left and right directions every day, let alone the basic steps.

It means that even if you work really hard, you won't be able to achieve an excellent level.

With that said, Anne seems right to give up the wizard, but that's why Jamie was here.

"I will make you an archmage."

The first is whole body breathing.

Even if you successfully master the whole-body breathing technique, you can perfectly master how to control mana.

As the class goes up, the most important thing is mana adjustment, that is, control.

Even if the innate mana is insufficient, a wizard with excellent control is excellent.

If the mana core can be extended to other parts of the body, the mana shortage is also resolved.

Whole body breathing was an essential breathing technique that would compensate for Anne's shortcomings to some extent.

'If that doesn't work, I can help with core expansion, but .'

Jamie wanted to figure it out for herself.

Helping others is not a bad thing, but if you are your own disciple, you should at least be able to do that.

"Even if it's slow. So you have to complete your own thing."

And another 12 hours passed, and the test was over.

* * *

Jamie stuck out his tongue as he looked at Anne and Lennon, both emaciated.

I didn't know that the two of them would hang around without even sleeping. Thanks to that, Jamie couldn't sleep either.

'Things that are now 9 or 10 years old.'

It doesn't mean what happens to your body just because you haven't slept all day, but staying up all night was an ignorant way.

The way your hair is clear is when you sleep.

Sleep was essential, unless you were at the level of Jamie.

But he didn't say anything about it. It was me who told me to learn it within a day, and I saw the children working hard with my own eyes.

" ."

" ."

But regardless of their efforts, both children had dark expressions on their faces.

Jamie said.

"You both failed."

Anne and Lennon never mastered the full-body breathing technique.

If you work hard, you do it, and if you fail, you fail.

Jamie wasn't the type to praise hard work. Rather, he was a cold-hearted person who thought he had no talent if he worked hard and failed.

"What do you think I will say?"

" ."

" ."

This time neither of them said anything.

From the moment they received the spell, they were told that they could only become disciples if they somehow learned how to breathe.

But it failed.

There was no shame in it. The difficulty of the whole body breathing method was so high that even a veteran wizard could not master it in one day.

Children who were only a few years new to magic had nothing to learn.

But he didn't have the courage to say it was unfair in front of Jamie. He told me that it was obviously very difficult, and it was they who accepted it.

I'm sorry. I worked hard... ."

"You can't become a great wizard just by working hard."

I interrupted Anne's words with a cold voice.

"If you give me a little more time ."

"You don't understand properly and you've been trying to do something, and you've been exhausted several times. But do you think giving it more time will lead to a dramatic realization?"

Lennon's words were blocked by negation.

Two children were crying. Anne actually burst into tears.

Lennon was also patient, but his expression was no different from Anne's.

Jamie said to those children.

However.

The two children looked up at Jamie with red eyes.

They must have been little sisters, but somehow I had the illusion that they looked huge.

"You have shown your will."

" will?

"Will, you mean?"

okay. will.

The will to do it, the tenacity to hold on to it and learn it somehow.

Patience that never gives up.

In the end, I did not achieve them over time, but I feel the sense of deprivation and resentment that comes from it.

Jamie believed that they could only be combined to form a complete human being.

"You have failed. This cannot be denied."

At the word 'failure', the two children frowned again.

I was still young and couldn't hide my face.

Jamie continued without hesitation.

"However, if there was no time constraint, I would have tried to learn it somehow, even if I had to die. is not it?

Yes.

Yes.

The two children answered vigorously as if there was no doubt.

I knew it wasn't just about bluffing in front of Jamie.

So they both deserve to be disciples.

"It's a pity that I didn't learn the whole body breathing technique. Because I was hoping I could do it to some extent. But apart from that, you have exceeded the standard."

"When it comes to standards ."

"From today on, both of you are my disciples."

At Jamie's calm remark, Anne and Lennon looked at each other and blinked. Lennon asked cautiously, not understanding what he was hearing.

"Did you say my disciple?"

Why. Hate? If you don't like it, leave.

"Not that!"

Lennon jumped up with excitement.

Anne got up quickly too, faced Lennon and started cheering.

"Wow!! Passed!!"

Pass! I passed!"

Anne and Lennon hugged and ran.

24 hours was harsh on children. The emotions I had accumulated until now burst out.

The two cried and laughed and shouted that they couldn't believe it and that it was fun.

To the extent that I wonder if it's the guys who don't get along well.

'okay. Hell will be unfolding in the future, so have fun right now.'

Jamie smirked and smiled happily at the children.

14,000,605 hell drills flashed in his mind.
