The Immortal Genius Spearman (126)
Damian asked Heinel.

“What are the conditions?”

“That’s right. I’m spending my precious time with you, so wouldn’t it be disadvantageous to me if I just wasted it without any purpose?

Damian nodded, not knowing what the disadvantage was.

“I will listen.”

“Just one. If your spear touches my body, then I will allow you to leave.”

“… … .”

Damien felt momentarily speechless.

It wasn’t simply because the conditions Heinel had set were absurd.

‘… … this guy.’

Damien swallowed without realizing it.

The moment he spoke the conditions, Heinel’s eyes sparkled so intensely.

‘I’m enjoying it.’

Is it fun? Or is it that you can afford to be that lenient with yourself?

I couldn’t tell which one it was though.

“… … Did you say one?”

“That’s right.”

Heinel said with a snicker.

Damien nodded with a cold, sullen look in his eyes.

“I will do it.”

smoke.

No matter how much of an Auror Master you are, if you can’t even brush past his collar, there’s virtually no point in returning to the unit.

‘… … It won’t be easy.’

Considering the moves he has shown before, it is by no means an easy task.

But it didn’t matter.

Regardless, it is something that must be done.

“So when do you want to start?”

Heinel asked Damien.

Damien answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“Let’s start right now.”

“Good.”

Heinel walked outside with the corners of his lips raised.

* * *

Dawn, when the darkness has not yet disappeared.

Damien woke up and went straight out of the mansion and sat down somewhere.

There was no reason to hide the magic training method here, nor was there any reason to find a safe place.

Because it was a place filled with magic and safer than anywhere else.

“Ss …

Inhale slowly through your nose, then exhale for twice as long as you inhaled.

It was quite a long breath, but it wasn’t difficult because it was something I had done every time I practiced the exercises.

Damien felt the magical power moving within him and began to slowly rotate his entire body.

After reaching 5 stars, his magical power was out of control and running wild like a mad wild horse.

As the amount of magical power increased, a high level of magical power control was required.

but.

‘Now… … .’

I’m starting to get better at channeling magical energy within my body.

Of course, if I let my guard down for a moment, he would try to move on his own again.

Kuk.

Damien focused as much as he could and moved his magical power, spreading it to every corner of his body.

“He is an uncommon boy.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it’s not just because of skill.”

Before he arrived, Philip had already done a lot of research on Damien.

Isn’t that obvious?

Because it’s his job to figure out who’s trying to meet Heinel.

But the more I dug into him, the more surprised I became.

He enlisted in the military at the young age of thirteen.

And he achieved top grades in the training camp and was transferred to Erkal’s Neocalitz unit, which everyone else tried to avoid at all costs.

Does this make sense?

The Neocalitz unit was, by the standards of the time, one of the most dangerous units in the kingdom.

And that’s not all.

“It’s only been a year since I joined the Neocalitz unit… … It’s said that in that short period of time, the problems in the Broncerian Forest have been completely resolved.”

The matter was so serious that Philip sent a separate letter to Baron Wilkes Diello to confirm the matter.

Because Baron Wilkes recognized his achievements and awarded him a medal.

“And what else is there?”

Heinel, who was listening to the story, asked.

The path he took was more interesting than I thought.

Because it felt like I was listening to the novels of wandering poets bragging on the streets.

But Philip continued with a smile, as if this was just the beginning.

“What the boy asked for with that ball was to attract the upper class and gain exclusive rights to the herbs from the Broncerian Forest.”

“Exclusive rights?”

It could be summed up in one word.

It also means that he has incredible business acumen.

Philip nodded.

“That company is the Hamel Company, which is currently supplying all of the supplies for the 6th Corps. Word coming out of the palace is that they plan to soon be entrusted with supplies for not only the 6th Corps, but the entire army.”

“… … Even though there will probably be quite a few who oppose, judging by the fact that such discussions are taking place, it seems like you are quite capable.”

Corruption involving military supplies was a long-standing evil practice.

Aren’t countless people entangled and intertwined to continue causing corruption?

The damage was borne entirely by the soldiers and citizens of the kingdom who fought with their lives at stake.

The kingdom squeezed its citizens to fund its insufficient military budget, and the money it squeezed ended up in the wrong pockets.

A significant number of soldiers died due to lack of proper supplies.

It’s a bad habit that’s been going on for a very long time.

“Hamel top?”

“yes.”

“You’re doing a great job. But does that top have anything to do with that boy?”

“Yes.”

“Is there more?”

Philip nodded to Heinel’s question. Heinel’s eyes shook slightly.

What kind of path is that boy walking on?

Heinel continued listening to Philip’s story without interrupting.

The more I listened, the more I was curious about the reasons why he had to take that path rather than his accomplishments.

“And finally, the name of the Kion unit spread throughout the continent by repelling the Rose Knights.”

“And then you came to me.”

At the end of the story, Damian, who was practicing magic training, opened his eyes.

Before he knew it, the magical power around his body was calmly settling down and rippling slightly.

Heinel approached him.

“Who taught you the magic training method?”

“… …I learned it from my late father.”

“It’s a good training method. If you keep practicing, you’ll be fine. However, the way you handle magic power is quite inefficient.”

“What part are you talking about?”

Damien asked, rising from his seat.

In response to his question, which seemed to indicate a sense of thirst, Heinel spoke, drawing on his magical power.

“Magic power is of a free nature. Everyone who knows the word magic thinks so.”

“Are you saying that it is wrong?”

“No, it’s not wrong. If we talk about the basic characteristics, then it’s correct. But.”

Swish.

The magical power in Heinel’s hand moved as if flowing.

Pavabak!

It started to fly like a strong spark.

Looking at the sight, Heinel said.

“The moment you become dependent on that person, your magical power will also change little by little like that person’s personality. In my case, it is characterized by jumping out very quickly.”

The elasticity that makes it seem like it will burst out at any moment if you don’t hold on to it.

It was Heinel’s magic that gave off a strong sense of being arbitrary rather than free.

Heinel gathered his magic power and asked Damian.

“What is the nature of your magical power?”

“… … My magic power.”

Damien couldn’t answer right away.

I’ve been feeling like I’ve been acting very randomly lately… … .

‘It didn’t feel similar to Heinel’s magic.’

It’s like talking to a child who is extremely stubborn.

Looking at Damien who was starting to worry, Heinel smiled and said.

“I guess I’ll have to keep thinking about it. But when I find the answer, the path I have to take will be a little clearer than where I am now.”

“Thank you for the advice.”

Damien bowed his head in gratitude.

Heinel nodded.

“And there’s no point in just thinking about it. You have to keep using your magic and manipulating it to find the answer… … .”

Heinel said, looking at the window on the floor.

“Let’s start with that.”

“yes.”

Damien lifted the window as if he had been waiting.

Then, Heinel, holding a wooden sword made of steel, aimed it at Damian.

“You’ll have to rush in with all your might.”

He issued a warning calmly.

Damien nodded to him.

“Phew.”

Damien took a deep breath and looked at Heinel while holding the window.

The level, the rank he spoke of.

I couldn’t tell how much of a difference there was.

However, one thing I know for sure is that Damian’s attacks did not work on those called Auror Masters.

‘You have to give up your confidence.’

Confidence and confidence were among the most important factors in combat.

But at this very moment, I had to give up my certainty.

Constantly doubting and doubting again.

As I swing my spear, I worry whether the spear will touch his body or if it avoids it. What should I do?

Even within one movement, you have to think about dozens of situations and move on to the next movement.

Swish.

Damien sorted out the many thoughts swirling around in his head.

You have to be aware of it in your head, but you have to perform the best possible movements that suit the situation.

So-called.

‘Keep your head cool, your heart warm.’

Damien, who was fully prepared, ran towards Heinel without hesitation.

thud!

Damian, who rushed towards Heinel with a strong foot cloud, quickly shook his body.

However, it had a much more advantageous firing range compared to the sword that Heinel had.

‘Fight while keeping your distance, thinking you have one more sword.’

This means that Damien must continue to maintain the maximum range he has.

If not, the duel would end like last time without me being able to do anything due to Heinel’s quick movements.

Swaaaak!

Heinel’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the window extending from afar.

‘Huh?’

Are you saying you’ve already found your own answer?

Although his ability to manipulate magical powers was still crude, his fighting sense was praiseworthy.

‘Know your own strengths and be thorough in analyzing your opponents.’

A virtue that any armed force, especially a commander leading a unit, must possess.

Because one of your actions could cost the lives of countless subordinates.

but…….

“It’s still a long way to go.”

Making the most of distance means attacking from afar.

I think the plan is good, but in that case, the spear Damian is currently wielding would not be able to reach Heinel.

Pavat!

Looking at the extended window, Heinel parried the attack and dug inside.

Because the distance is far, it will take a long time for him to retrieve the spear.

Swaaaak!

It was literally lightning.

Heinel dug into Damian’s arms with quick movements, as if he were using the lightning auror he was using.

In the blink of an eye.

No, the window recovery isn’t even halfway done.

Damian twisted his waist as he looked at Heinel, who had already dug into his arms.

Swaaaak!

Damian swung his right elbow towards Heinel’s face.

This was the only way to push away Heinel, who was in close proximity, while his spear recovery had stopped.

‘Reach… …!’

But contrary to Damien’s earnest wish.

Wow!

“Ugh!”

Damien screamed, his elbow stinging.

This was because Heinel deflected Damian’s attack with just a light swing of his sword.

And looking at Damien’s completely empty upper body, Heinel said.

“Take a rest.”

Damian looks at Heinel reaching out towards his forehead.

“……shit.”

I lost consciousness again.
