Regressor Takes Everything

Chapter 132: Teach Only The Essentials (3)

A martial art in which mana, compressed to the limit through body strengthening and mana arrangement, was used around a weapon. It was a kind of magic that interfered with and distorted the laws of physics, starting with natural attributes through magic formulas. Martial arts and magic differed depending on how they used their magical powers, and because of the differences in how to use them, it was difficult to use them together.

“Then, what is martial arts that combines martial arts and magic? Do you remember anything?” Kang Yoo-sik, who was in the middle of explaining, asked a question, and Lao Yen, who had been kneeling down and listening to him, shook his head for a while before answering. “Um… … Are you using magic on your body?”

“It was a bit too much. The correct answer is to create a spell using the body as a medium.” At Kang Yoo-sik’s explanation, Lao Yen made a puzzled expression. Whether making the body a medium or using magic in the body, in the end, wasn’t it still there? Seeing Lao Yen's questionable expression, Kang Yoo-sik pushed the blackboard back slightly and rolled up his sleeves.

“I will give you a simple example.” He had long since recalled the basic operating formula written in the origin of martial arts and took a posture, and Lao Yen, who saw it, made a strange expression. ‘Why such an inefficient attitude…?’

His attitude was so awkward that he could see gaps here and there. He then wondered if it was because he was not good at martial arts, but thinking about the previous explanation, it didn't seem that way. ‘What the hell is it?’

When Lao Yen was confused, Kang Yoo-sik mastered the ‘spell’ he created through his body. ‘Now here's the magic….’

As the mana moved along the set path, the speed gradually accelerated, and it swirled together at the tip of the foot that stepped forward. The magic that unfolded through the medium of the body was loaded inside, and Kang Yoo-sik caught his breath at the magical power that was captured at the tip of his toe. In addition to this, the moment he activated the loaded spell while looking straight ahead. Quaang! Kang Yoo-sik's body shot forward like a bullet. “No, no way…!”

Seeing that explosive movement, Lao Yen was unknowingly startled and jumped up from his seat. Obviously, it was because Kang Yoo-sik's posture, which had been full of gaps until just now, had more explosive power than reinforced with magical power. ‘How can such strength come from such a tight posture…?’

It wasn’t that he used so much mana, and he didn’t change his stance in the blink of an eye. If so, where the hell did that power come from?

“How… Do you think you know?” Kang Yoo-sik who had jumped forward, returned and asked,

Lao Yen rolled his head desperately not to disappoint. From there, the moment when a strangely inefficient posture came to mind. Lao Yen answered with both eyes flashing. “Are you using your posture and the body’s magical energy as a magic formula to increase efficiency?”

“Answer. Are you smart?”

“Go, thank you….”

Kang Yoo-sik laughed at Lao Yen's shyness and nodded, and relaxed his body lightly.

“As you said, magic martial arts increase efficiency by using special postures and mana management as magic techniques. As I said before, it is to create a spell using the body as a medium.”

“It is a very strange technique.”

Seeing Lao Yen's admiration, Kang Yoo-sik raised the corner of his mouth and quietly spoke. “It has to be. Because I made this for you.”

“…Yes?!"

Kang Yoo-sik crossed his arms and looked at Lao Yen, who was startled. “You said you wanted to learn magic, but your talent for spears is a waste for that. So when I was wondering if there was a way to combine the two, this is what came out.”

“Then… Did you develop magic arts because of me alone?”

“I did refer to some other books, but… Well, it's safe to say that I made it.”

At least at this point, no one knew magic tricks other than himself, so it was not a lie. “That, like that….”

From there, Kang Yoo-sik watched Lao Yen carefully, not knowing what to do. In order to fix Lao Yen into a body suitable for martial arts, a creditor who could collect unnecessary skills was essential. That was he was spiced it up to see how well he tended to accumulate debt before he started in earnest.

“It seems like the job is a bit bigger than teaching magic, but… I intend to do my best in everything I do. How about you? Would you like to try?”

At Kang Yoo-sik’s suggestion, Lao Yen stared at him blankly, and soon lowered his head with a determined expression. “Please take good care of me. Master!”

[Debtor ‘Lao Yen"s debt increases.]

[Debtor ‘Lao Yen"s debt grade rises to class B. The collection list is added.]

‘Hmm. It's okay.'

He just said that he would show and teach him martial arts, but the debt grade has risen from grade C to grade B. It was probably clear that he didn’t even think about fooling himself. ‘Before the regression, I was a guy who grumbled about everything… It's like Kim Jin-hyuk, and the time is really scary.'

He couldn’t adapt to it, but thanks to that, he was also easily making debts, so it could then be construed as a good thing. Kang Yoo-sik, who smiled, grabbed Lao Yen's shoulder and made him raise his head. "Let's use the title Master after learning something properly."

"All right! Master!”

“… … .”

Kang Yoo-sik decided to just pass it over to Lao Yen, who couldn't communicate and rummaged through his pockets. “I brought several skill books that are useful for learning martial arts, so let’s get used to them and start.”

“S, skill book?”

“Yes. Because I'm less good at magic than spears. I brought it because I wanted to have a skill that could help with that.”

“Master….”

Not only did he make skills for himself, but he also took care of his skill book. Lao Yen was moved by the way she supported him not only verbally but also physically and mentally. ‘The rating may not be that high, but… If it was chosen by Master, it must be what I need.’

Even if they were given a C-level skill book, Lao Yen decided that he would learn it without hesitation, and Kang Yoo-sik took out two skill books. “Now, this is it.”

“Thank you!" After receiving the skill book, Lao Yen checked the skills she would learn.

[Multiple Acceleration Calculation (S)]

[Creation of Spells (S)]

“… … .”

His body froze at the brilliantly shining letters of S class.

* * *

After using the creditor and skill book to remodel Lao Yen's talents. Kang Yoo-sik, who had finished his basic training, took a moment to call Lee Ha-rin to Ban Hye-young's laboratory.

“Wow….”

Lee Ha-rin, who entered the laboratory, made a surprised expression when she found the dead bodies of the demons in front of her eyes. Nemea, in relatively tidy condition, with only her breasts hollowed out. Basuki, whose whole body was pierced and cut, is a mess. And the broken Sekien with cracks engraved all over its body.

This time, the corpses of Tacheon's Revelation executives who were defeated by Kang Yoo-sik and his party were all gathered in one place. “Are you summoning with this this time?”

"Yes. But I'm going to try it in a slightly different direction than I've done before.”

“The other way?” When Lee Ha-rin asked with a curious expression, Kang Yoo-sik looked at the corpses of the officers gathered in one place. “I intend to use them all at once.”

“… … You use three mediums at once?” Lee Ha-rin made a puzzled expression at Kang Yoo-sik's response. Usually, it was rare to use multiple mediators to summon phantom beasts. If you didn’t know if you harmonized well with each other, it was because you were probably doing it wrong, which would end up in a result that was neither one nor the other.

However, would you just beat the corpses of top-notch demons, each of which could be an excellent medium? When Lee Ha-rin showed that he did not understand, Kang Yoo-sik smiled and added an explanation. “Normally I don’t use multiple mediums, but in this case, the situation is a little different.”

This was usually when the main body dealt with living mediums in a complex way. In this case, the efficiency actually dropped off. It was necessary to draw power while resonating with the living body, but this was because the resonance did not work well due to the inclusion of impurities. ‘But those who have already died are different.’

There was no problem with resonance because there was nobody, and because of the adaptability of the bodies of demons, they were compatible with each other. Therefore, the corpse of a dead demon was a medium that was more efficient when used in combination on the contrary. “So, then you can summon a phantom beast more powerful than Crimson?”

“Although the corpse is slightly less efficient…”

If one used these three orbs at the same time, they should be able to glare enough. Crimson belonged to the upper class among the A-class. There was only one grade of phantom beast that was stronger than that. ‘S-class return.’

The number of tamers among S-class hunters in the world was only three. In addition to this, the number of S-class phantom beasts they possessed was only seven. Considering that there were only two S-class phantom beasts among them, it was that difficult to summon S-class phantom beasts.

“Can I, can I handle it?” The lively Lee Ha-rin also made a very nervous expression this time. Having an S-class phantom beast didn’t make one an S-class hunter, but it was because they were usually evaluated to the level of that. He, who was still only a gold class, would be able to handle S-class beasts.

Kang Yoo-sik smiled at that question. “I can handle it. Lee Ha-rin has enough ability to do that.”

These were the words she can say because he knew his unique skill of rapport. However, Lee Ha-rin, who did not know the secret, made a slightly moved expression.

‘As expected, the manager is different….’ It was the type of belief that had never been shaken from the beginning until now. Seeing Kang Yoo-sik like that, Lee Ha-rin clenched her fist slightly. ‘To the manager… I want to tell you everything about me.’

The existence of a unique skill that she hadn’t told anyone before. After this summoning, Lee Ha-rin decided to reveal it, and Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression. ‘What are you doing… ?’

Kang Yoo-sik, who felt a bit creepy at Lee Ha-rin's fist clenched to the point where veins sprouted from the back of her hand, changed the topic. “Let’s prepare for this slowly. Go ahead and prepare the summons.”

"Okay!" Lee Ha-rin, who responded vigorously, ran quickly, and Ban Hye-young, who was watching the situation from behind, came to the side. “What do you think?”

“It is an absolute success. Do not worry." Rather, he was afraid because he couldn’t predict how successful it would be.

Ban Hye-young glanced at Kang Yoo-sik's confident answer. “But why are you moving so busily these days?”

“I used to be like that.”

“It might be the case, but… … It just feels you’re even busier now.” A guy named Lao Yen had been taught a technique he had never seen before, called Martial Arts, then Yoo-sik brought a medium directly to Lee Ha-rin, and even the summoning circle had been painstakingly repaired.

Ban Hye-young looked at him with a puzzled expression as he moved with much more effort than before, and Kang -sik answered with a slight smile. “Actually, I have a contract with the head of the academy.”

“Contract?"

"Yes. After the midterm exams for the second semester, we decided to distribute the support funds according to the grades of the club members.”

If it had just been money support, it would be awkward, but depending on the result, one could use Seongjin’s personal connections. In other words, if he properly raised and proved the members of the club this time, he would then be able to use all of the strength that Seongjin had not yet revealed.

‘Besides, it will be possible to interfere here and there.’

He moved Seongjin as he pleased and wandered around the outside as he pleased. Kang Yoo-sik was moving with care because it was a condition that he could use 120% of his status as a cadet.

“Hmm. I mean, you made a deal like that….” Ban Hye-young, who thought deeply for a moment, looked at her slightly and then spoke quietly. “Then it would be nice if there were more talented kids in the club?”

“Is that so? But if it’s halfway, it’s better not to take it.”

It would not be good if the average value dropped after receiving an ambiguous student. Ban Hye-young grinned at Kang Yoo-sik's response. “He’s a pretty good kid. I've been looking at it for a while, but I heard there's a contract like that, so you can call it."

"Hmm. If that's what you're saying, I'll take a look. But who….”

"Ah."

After Kang Yoo-sik stopped talking, Ban Hye-yeong glanced at Lee Ha-rin and quickly took something out of her sleeve and placed it in her hand. “Come here with me.”

"Yes?"

“I said what I said, and I didn’t invite you, you invited me. That's why don't talk so strangely to people around you…!” Ban Hye-young, who had left something behind her, ran to her summons, and Kang Yoo-sik, who was left alone, looked down at the two tickets in his hands.

“… … I see.”

At this time, she seemed more innocent than her classmates. Kang Yoo-sik, who found himself laughing at her, put the ticket he had received from Ban Hye-young into his inner pocket and then approached his summons. “Then let’s start slowly, Lee Ha-rin.”

“Yes, yes, I’m going!" Lee Ha-rin, who answered vigorously, vigorously crossed her palms, and the summoning gin, imbued with her magical power, began to scatter bright light.

Cholla-!

Layers of summoning circles custom-made by Kang Yoo-sik appeared, mixing the three corpses into one. Mysterious light shining in various colors. The moment the mysterious light permeated the inside of the summoning circle…

Kwaaang-! A golden column rose with a huge shockwave.

"This….” It was a completely different scale from the summons that had been unfolded so far. While everyone was staring blankly at the power scattered in all directions, a phantom beast slowly appeared in the center of the summoning circle.

It had a gigantic size of nearly 5m, with shiny golden fur. Its tail had a red snake running its tongue, and a hexagonal mirror was embedded in its forehead. The overall appearance was close to that of a lion like Nemea, but the characteristics of other executives were buried little by little here and there. Everyone was staring blankly at his unique appearance.

[Did you summon me?]

The golden lion, a phantom beast that appeared above the summoning circle, looked at Lee Ha-rin who summoned him with arrogant eyes.

[It's a bug.]

It might have its own strength, but it was not enough to become its own master. The golden lion, who snorted his nose, slowly turned his head to the side and found Kang Yoo-sik staring blankly at him.

[You guys… … .]

At first, it looked like a bug, but the more he looked at it, the more he could feel a huge power that could not be ignored. When their eyes met there, his body reflexively shrank, but he also felt an indescribable pressure.

However, since he was a golden lion who prioritized his strength, he exclaimed with his mane inflated as if denying that he had shrunk.

[It's not enough to reap me!]

The golden lion, who rejected the two with a single knife, looked back to see the remaining characters, and soon faced Ban Hye-young and trembled. Although it had strong enough power to become its own master, its size was so huge and violent that it was rather frightening.

[Cow, what a creepy monster. Are you wearing a human mask?]

The golden lion, who had inflated his mane as if looking at Ban Hye-yeong, made a decision with trembling.

[There is no one who can be my master here. If you don't want to die, send them back!]

The golden lion's solemn cry echoed in the laboratory, and a strange silence lingered. The moment the golden lion was about to shout once more at the appearance of the three people without any answer…

“It’s S-class.” Kang Yoo-sik's eyes flashed when he found the jackpot.

“Bugs….” Lee Ha-rin clenched her fists and muttered softly.

"Hey." Ban Hye-yeong, who took out the palguaro from her sleeve, asked softly. “Do you want to go back to where you came from?”
