chapter 26
Club activities in <Delayten> are different for each. There are places where they gather up to 5 times a week, but the [Local Development Magic Club] was moderately twice a week.
“and. I’m still sleepy, crazy… … .”
Lane yawned and headed for the club room. From far behind, Logan of the Tchaihak School was also walking hesitantly.
There seemed to be more members than expected.
Twenty-three freshmen and six sophomores. 3rd year students are usually busy preparing for their graduation thesis, so they do not participate in club activities.
The sophomores greeted each other warmly, pretending to know.
“You are here, Gongja-nim!”
“You look very tired. Are you okay?”
“Well, it’s just that I can’t sleep. But there are more members than I thought, right?”
“Because there are people who think they want to repay their hometown by learning magic. Except for Confucius, there are no great nobles.”
It sounded as if Rain, a great aristocrat, had joined and the reputation of the club had risen.
“But this time, thanks to Confucius, it seems like we came twice as long!”
“It’s me? What did I do?”
I have never helped with club promotion activities.
“At that time, in the Magic War—”
The sophomores, who had been talking excitedly, smiled awkwardly when they saw Logan who had followed them.
“Why are you here?”
“Why… … Shouldn’t I be here so that someone won’t come to pick a fight?”
“oh.”
Lane glanced around, then took a seat in the back. This is because it was concluded that the back seat was more comfortable than expected for a month.
I was about to fall asleep with my head on the desk, but the club manager came in with a bunch of papers.
“Ah, I’m glad to see you. My name is Joan. I am the general manager of the [Local Development Magic Club]. i look forward to.”
Hmm… … .
As the students applauded, Rain also bumped his palms. It was something exciting because it was the first club activity I had ever done.
“Our club aims to research and ultimately create magic for local development. In order to do that, you need to know a little bit about people’s livelihoods such as farming and fishing.”
In fact, magic related to people’s livelihood was also under the jurisdiction of the court magicians led by the electors of each region.
However, it was not possible to enjoy the benefits of that magic anytime, anywhere… … What should I say about the villages on the outskirts of the countryside?
“Let’s see this first. Remy, give me some of these. huh. hurry. Now, here are the magics that I mainly used during the farming season… … .”
Watching magic juniors (who are 300 years older than me) discuss magic in depth was a more unique experience than I thought.
It was just a pity that I couldn’t concentrate for several reasons, including drowsiness.
‘Warlocks still exist in this era… … .’
At this point, I felt the need to drastically revise my life strategy.
After seeing black magic again, I started to be quite wary of the entity that sent Rin’s diary.
It seemed that one day, maybe in the near future, we should accelerate our magic training, assuming that they could collide.
It’s not right for me to just worry and worry.
‘There might be a way to inform the church or the Magic League about the appearance of black magic, but in this case things become quite complicated.’
If there are spies in the Magic League… … Hmmm, it’s scary to even imagine.
And even Haraderiman, the pope who has looked over the world for a thousand years, would already know. Because that person is a divine dragon.
So, first of all, let’s make it our top priority to raise our personal skills to about half of Rin.
“Ludyen.”
I called Rudyen and checked his current physical condition.
Gustaba: It objectifies the physical condition of the caster with mathematical values.
ㆍNote(柱); Current mana 12,564.
ㆍYou (留); Current magic ship 354.
ㆍHead (逗); Physical and mental strength 311.
The amount of magic power and the magic ship are not good compared to Rin’s body, but it’s probably far above the average of Deliten students.
However, this is not enough. For example, I remember that at this age, Rin’s body had less than 90,000 mana.
‘The biggest problem is physical strength… … .’
In preparation for hand-to-hand combat, if you want to properly use the bongsul you used when you were young, you have to prepare your body first.
Anyway, those who like running or strength training are obviously perverts. Do you love to abuse yourself so much?
‘I don’t know if it would be comfortable to have someone by my side to guide me… … .’
In an instant, an idea flashed in my mind. When Lane jerked to the side and grinned, ‘that guy’ shrugged.
Logan.
As Lane sneaked over to the seat next to him and sat down, the muscles crammed into every corner of the guy’s body went into a state of tension and wriggled.
“What, what is it?”
“Teach me some exercise.”
“?”
There was no answer for a while.
He even pulls his body to the side with an expression of whether this person is sane.
“No, I had absolutely no idea how to get better with exercise.”
Rin was just a case of basic physical strength being trained to survive in the slums.
And after entering the warrior’s party, the deepening part was completed by learning bongjutsu from Lista.
But what about Lane?
“But you are from the Tchaihak School. They aren’t a group of experts in sweating and building muscle.”
“Yeah, if you’re a true wizard, it’s right to build up your muscles. So, our school is the school of real wizards.”
As we lifted the school, Logan let out a slightly relaxed laugh and shrugged his shoulders. Then, the trapezius muscle and the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck move vividly to the point of disgusting.
“Then teach me. I don’t like bulky muscles like you, just small muscles are enough.”
“Oh, oh, oh! I mean, come to your senses. Don’t you know that if you target these muscles, you can barely build small muscles?”
“Oh~ You just seemed a little expert?”
Lane whistled and raised his thumb, and Logan cleared his throat shyly, but a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.
“Who do you think I am? This is Tsaihak’s late exponent Logan.”
“Then let’s sweat a little from today.”
“Oh, that’s a bit… … .”
“why?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“what? Is it because you didn’t call me master? Call me if you want. Master Logan, starting today, please sweat vigorously from my body.”
Then, the male student sitting in the front seat turned around and covered his mouth with a shocked expression.
no, wait.
I think I misunderstood something very dangerous, but it’s not like that.
“No, why are you like this? Are we enemies? I’m from the Eight Greats, that’s the Madose. How can enemies help each other?”
Logan shook his head in a nonsensical tone, but Lane tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
“Are you and I enemies? Aren’t they colleagues who are exploring the study of magic together?”
For a moment, Logan was silent.
bewilderment, bewilderment… … ?
No, it wasn’t that primary feeling. In the first place, it was not the realm of emotion itself.
What did they say about this, did they say it was a refutation? It felt like the logic circuitry in my head was broken, so I couldn’t say anything back.
Lane smiled and tapped Logan on the shoulder.
“Look, come to think of it, aren’t they enemies?”
“… … !”
“Then let’s exercise together starting today. Oh, I’m so tired today, so tomorrow.”
* * *
“What can I do now?”
“Why don’t you start with the basics like push-ups and running?”
“You use equipment.”
“If I have to teach you how to use the equipment, I think you will give up soon anyway. The fastest way to know your body condition is to exercise bare-body.”
Heh, what about the Madose self-restraint muscles… … . Just look at it, you’ll get hit a few times and then you’ll quit. Like most wizards do.
“okay. Were you able to do that?”
But Lane… … weird. If you roll like this, most of them give up? Why are you so eager?
‘Actually, you didn’t mean to make fun of me, did you really want to build muscle?’
There is a saying in the Tchaikhak school: When you grow muscles, at some point, a new reaction circuit is created in the brain.
That is, when I see beginners who are serious about their muscles, they get excited (???) because they want to teach them something more.
It was for this reason that the Tchaihak school was famous for being kinder than any other school to new trainees.
The students of the Tchaihak school called this nonsensical phenomenon ‘friendship that blooms in the muscles’.
“… … .”
While watching Lane who was serious about his muscles for four days, Logan was keenly aware of the teachings of those predecessors.
‘Oh, I’m not doing that… … .’
‘If you do that, your muscles won’t be stimulated… … .’
‘Sweet, if you get caught in a strange posture at first, it’s harder to correct it later… … .’
I want to teach you!
I’m going crazy because I want to teach you! As if being bitten by hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes, Logan twisted his body around feeling itchy all over his body… … .
‘I will die first.’
The cause of death was a heart attack.
Looking at the muscle newbie, Logan eventually entered the stage of self-justification due to the boiling fever of education.
‘It’s not like I’m acknowledging that cheeky son of a b*tch. The ambassador told me to be friendly, so I pretended to be like that before getting scolded.’
Logan, who was overtaxing his biceps with dumbbells, sneaked closer to Lane and cleared his throat.
“That’s not what you do.”
“?”
“First of all, it was wrong. Place your feet shoulder-width apart and at a roughly acute angle. Yes, that’s it!”
“!!!”
“And sit down with your weight on your heels. great. Now exhale and slowly rise.”
“!”
“Repeat ten times. One, two, good. More and more, three, four, five, six, seven, give strength to the stomach, eight, nine, last, more and more, more and more, good.”
Lane straightened herself up and blinked her eyes.
“oh! Something, it only hurts so much here? Enough to make you feel like ‘I did some exercise’?!”
“Oh oh! Do you feel the stimulation?! Only on the thighs?”
“Yes, only on the thighs!”
“Good good good! If only the thighs are stimulated, it means that you are doing well! If you continue to do so, the buttock will also be stimulated, but the important thing when setting a posture is to check whether there is pain in the knee joint… … .”
It is often said that the wizards of the Tchaihak school are not wizards.
This is because, far from being rational while exploring the studies of reason, they are emotional and warlike. However, the word emotional was also a simple one.
As a late exponent, Logan was one of the talents who perfectly suited the characteristics of this Tchaihak school… … .
“What are you doing, you bastards… … ?”
Hubert, a member of the Rohfinham School, witnessed the scene by chance and had to tilt his head.
Professor Owen, on the other hand, smiled as he watched the two run together on campus from his office.
“It’s an exercise guide! Damn Logan, you’re doing what I say!”
Flowers bloomed all over my face. Would it be that good just by explaining the exercise?
He felt the muscles twitch all over his body, but immediately calmed the excitement with a deep breath.
‘Oh, seeing a muscle newbie, I instinctively got excited. But would someone who was executed take away the joy of the priest and use it?’
Professor Owen, he was also a wizard from the Tchaihak school to the core.
‘Anyway, it’s amazing. No matter how much I ordered them to become friends in such a short period of time.’
Owen gulped down the tea from the cup, and his eyes stayed on Lane’s back. Owen smiled and turned his back from the window.
‘Heh… … Does it mean that the strong attract the strong?’
