How to deal with wizards (4)

3 months ago.

Roman set a goal to analyze magic.

From then on, I started collecting all the books on magic, and I spent time analyzing magic whenever I had free time.

Magical understanding.

It was the most basic theory.

I had read it once before, but Roman read it again.

Magic starts with resonating the mana from the circle with the mana of nature. Since it is impossible to fully express magic with only the mana in the body, the characteristics of mana according to individual tendencies are very important factors. If the mana you have in your body is familiar with the fire attribute, you can attract the power of fire that exists in nature, and it is possible to create a strong synergy when using flame magic."

Resonance with nature.

It was the root of magic.

Common wizards studied Understanding Magic and tried to find the characteristics of mana that suited them, just like the people who went first.

Fire is fire, water is water, and wind is wind. As the understanding of magic said, I found suitable attributes rather than opposite attributes and learned mainly related magics.

when I first read the book.

Roman accepted the literal content.

And now, having dealt with Edwin Hector once, Roman interpreted the teachings of the book from a different perspective.

'Resonance with nature means that there is some kind of signal in the way you use magic. People often express magic as a miracle of God who creates something from nothing, but as understanding magic explains, magic is not an unconditional force. If I could read the signal. Wouldn't it be possible to detect the existence of magic in advance and evade it one step at a time?'

It is not simply feeling and reacting to the energy of mana.

regular pattern.

I wanted to see the essence.

Although it is a very basic theory, based on it, Roman's question was tailed.

'Magic is a well-organized science. Because everyone can use the same magic if they act according to a clear system, the wizards have passed on knowledge from generation to generation to achieve the current system. This means that it is possible to use a standardized system. magic casting. The moment the mana that occurs in the circle is connected to the mana of nature, you can predict what kind of magic the opponent will use depending on the form, amount of mana, and the properties of mana. For example, if the shape of a sphere shows some mana and fire properties, then the wizard is obviously using a fire ball. If you can figure it out in advance, it's not that difficult to respond later. Fireball is a force that explodes in a straight line. You can dodge the fireball just by moving left and right.'

drowned in imagination

in my mind.

I remembered a picture dodging the fireball.

'It is difficult to understand the resonance of mana. Therefore, in order to apply the theory I have just thought to reality, it is necessary to fully understand the magic of wizards and to know the system as well.'

One hundred and fifty battles in jeopardy.

A perfect victory starts with getting to know your opponent.

Expensive magic books.

bought them

After collecting it on a bookshelf, he filled that vast amount of knowledge into his head.

In fact, he also checked his potential as a wizard, but found that circle and dandan mana could not coexist.

Even if you study hard, you cannot use it for yourself.

With the sole intention of analyzing magic, Roman spent a lot of money and time studying the same things as wizards.

first month.

Analysis was very slow.

Since the foundation had not yet been laid, he focused on understanding magic meticulously without being impatient.

so as time goes by.

The analysis has gained momentum.

As the bookshelves filled with books, Roman began to understand the nature of magic.

Finally, the day of three months.

Roman Dmitry realized that it was necessary to go hand in hand with the actual battle.

* * *

said Roman.

"The reason I was able to respond quickly to Felix-sama's magic was because I read a certain pattern. Depending on the amount, form, and attribute of mana, we knew in advance what kind of magic to use, and took a countermeasure accordingly. Whether to use fireballs, firewaves, or rune flares. When a wizard decides to use a particular spell, it's not that hard to anticipate its purpose based on what kind of magic it is."

from the first statement.

Felix was shocked.

Roman said it was nothing special, but putting the theory he just talked about into reality was another matter.

First.

1. The sense of reading resonance.

2. The knowledge to know the type of magic just by looking at the form of resonance.

3. Quick decision to respond based on the information entered.

At least three conditions were required.

Felix's eyes trembled, but Roman answered Felix's questions one by one.

"Breaking curse-type magic such as hold was a kind of offset. It is known in the magic circle that the curse can be dispelled when the mana infiltrating the body is expelled. However, this method is inevitably time consuming. On a battlefield where every minute and every second matters, this is not a very good solution. That's why I chose to use the mana in my body to create an explosion and mana from the outside. explosion in the body. Even the slightest bit of mismanagement of the range and intensity of the explosion will do a lot of damage, but if used properly, it can neutralize the curse."

this too.

it didn't make sense

Meet Roman.

Felix asked three things.

How the hell does he react quickly, why doesn't the curse magic work, and what is the shield that blocks the magic?

Roman gave a clear answer.

But while Felix listened with his own ears, he realized that not everyone who knew Roman's theory could do it.

"Finally the third. The shield that blocks magic is formed like a 'shield' by exposing the aura to the outside. This is what I call a sword shield. It is a method of using the powerful power of the aura defensively to block the opponent's attack."

black screen.

It was the way of Moorim.

Contrary to the world's explosive use of auras, the sword shield required precise control just by exposing it to the outside.

If ordinary prosecutors follow Roman's way.

Far from shaping the shield with the aura, the unsafe aura will explode before it even takes shape.

Bringing out the first magical understanding.

Felix questioned Roman's actions.

But as he listened to a series of explanations, Felix realized why he had no choice but to lose.

widely.

Roman closed the book.

And then.

"My explanation is over. Do you have anything to add?"

asked again.

To supplement his knowledge, he did not hesitate to reveal it to others.

It was great confidence.

Looking up at Roman like that.

" There is not.

Felix couldn't even say anything.

end the conversation.

Felix returned home.

Although it was a short time, the conversation with Roman made him feel very humble.

"What the hell have I been listening to?"

Felix.

People called him a genius.

Up until now, he thought he was born with talent, but Roman Dmitry was a completely different being.

monster.

It could not be expressed in other words.

He explained how to deal with wizards one by one, but it seemed that the world of common sense was crumbling.

'Roman Dmitry. It is not simply a being that follows instinct. I thoroughly analyzed my opponents, and, with perfect calculations, won dozens of victories against me. It must have been the same for the first 10,000 gold as a reward. Roman Dmitry was confident that he would win, so he deliberately cornered himself with a huge reward.'

It is not a general judgment.

no matter how confident you are.

With a large sum of money as a reward, Roman Dmitry explained in detail how he had won.

Roman's intention was evident.

than the outflow of knowledge.

Putting their heads together, they hoped to supplement their knowledge.

Since it is a method that no one can use anyway, he showed boldness not to hide his uniqueness.

'Can I do that?'

no.

I would never have done that.

Even if he couldn't supplement his knowledge with his own strength, it was clear that he would have thought about what kind of benefit he would get by using its scarcity by keeping it secret.

It is not that such a judgment is shameful.

Knowing that most people would make the same choices as him, Roman felt more like a mutant.

suddenly.

A conversation with Roman came to mind.

"Mr Felix. It doesn't matter that I beat you. I have something to gain from the fight with Felix, so a one-sided confrontation like yesterday and today is not the picture I want. So, don't do anything to get me down. As long as it's magical, I'll let you use any method.

Roman's words.

He was consistent from start to finish.

He didn't care about revealing his powers or his own knowledge, and he hoped to get even the slightest chance from his relationship with Felix.

In the process, large sums of money were consumed and knowledge leaked was tolerated.

If he could only take one step forward, he didn't care at all who was following him.

It was great.

because it's something he can't do.

For the first time in her life, Felix felt that her existence was insignificant.

'Even a strong man like Roman Dmitry is constantly striving to become stronger. But what the hell am I doing? Since Master disappeared, I have always avoided reality with the excuse that I have no choice but to do anything to move forward as a horseman in Phoenix. The same goes for choosing to go to Dmitry. If I had really had the will, I would have chosen self-improvement rather than making money.'

consequently.

I met Roman and got enlightenment.

However, if he had made the right decision, he would not have chosen Dmitry, who offered some.

Right now this moment.

Felix forgot the deal.

Aside from the huge rewards, he, like Roman, hoped to get something.

'For the rest of the time. I will do my best to fight Roman Dmitry. May Roman Dmitry get just one chance because of me, and I hope that I can also gain anything from his confrontation. Not just to make money, I will spend time developing myself.'

There are many types of humans in the world.

There were those who found a high wall and despaired, while there were those who took it as a motivator for development.

Felix belonged to the latter.

from then.

Win or lose, Felix began to immerse himself in his reality.

* * *

Time has passed.

Although he changed his mind and fought dozens of battles, Felix never won a single match.

unilateral defeat.

Winning or losing didn't matter.

Felix always worked hard to bring down Roman Dmitry in various ways, and Roman did not add any special words, even though he won every time, perhaps because of his efforts.

Felix was a very good subject.

Roman Dmitry also showed an increasingly skillful response to the practical experience he had accumulated.

sooner or later.

Two months have passed since I arrived in Dmitry.

Living away from the Franks, Felix learned how strange Dmitry was.

'Dmitry is a baron family on the outskirts. However, the military power is far more powerful than the general standard.'

guards at the gates.

I thought they too had been systematically trained, but seeing Roman Dmitry's enlisted men completely changed my mind.

It was literally one hundred per day.

Even ordinary soldiers showed overwhelming force to the extent that it would be safe to call them a knight if they wore armor and helmet.

Besides.

Their loyalty was blind.

Occasionally I had the opportunity to watch the training, and they showed a strong desire to bite Roman's tongue.

It was no different for Dmitry's people.

When Roman Dmitry appears, they split to the side to show courtesy.

Although Roman was clearly not the lord of Dmitry, he showed an overwhelming position within the estate of Dmitry.

It was certain.

ruler.

Roman Dmitry was accustomed to the position of governing others.

The attitude of not looking back and the appearance of taking people's loyalty for granted aroused a strange feeling.

Felix's teacher.

In his absence, the tower began to shake.

If Phoenix had a center like Roman Dmitry, Phoenix might have gone in a slightly better direction.

Then one day.

Felix heard a shocking word from the blacksmith's craftsman.

"Does Master Roman often visit the forge? Occasionally, he illuminates his face to take care of the people's livelihood, but when he makes his own sword, he uses a personal forge. Actually, that's what I heard from Master Blacksmith. It is said that when Master Roman works, the fire from the oven wraps around his body, making him look like a god of fire."

It was a random conversation.

Hearing the expression that the flames engulfed his whole body while working, Felix could not hear those words.

'surely.'

My heart raced.

ability to accept fire.

If the blacksmith's words were true, not an elixir, it was the answer Felix had been longing for.

Phoenix's Biggie.

In order to fully implement burning, the ability to accept fire was required.
