chapter 32
32 – Misunderstood as an evil villain 32
< Ceremonial magic gauntlet of flame magician >
‘Ceremonial magic gauntlet. Which military unit was this used for?’
The main effect of this gauntlet is to increase magic stat by 3, magic attack power by 7, and additional fire magic damage by 7.
And the additional effect was agility stat increased by 2, casting flexibility increased by 5, and mana consumption decreased by 3.
It is not clear how much the marked stats affect each person as it really varies from person to person.
It just feels like if 5 goes up, it gets better by 5.
‘It’s an item that can definitely become stronger just by wearing it.’
Even with the rental price of 9.5 million won, I was able to purchase two more pieces of equipment.
However, it took more fire damage.
Certainly Sehyeon was using fire attribute magic as her main power.
However, there was no guarantee that even the newly created magic was flame magic.
In the case of wizard characteristics, raising from level 1 to level 2 is easy, but when you reach level 3, you get new magic, so going from level 2 to level 3 is quite difficult.
‘I’ve been working hard lately, so I’ll be able to rise to level 3 soon… … .’
If you think about it, things that strengthen just one attribute like this were a bit like that.
‘But again, nothing seems to be as good value for money as this one.’
I’ve been shopping for an hour and a half already.
There were few magic gauntlets that were useful among those that were reasonably priced.
You could turn your attention to the wand or staff, but Sehyeon preferred the magic gauntlet.
‘Anyway, my main thing is to counterattack unconsciously.’
He knew very well that no matter how good a mage was, he was only a sub to him.
There are many different types of wizards.
There were wizards who poured out firepower, as well as wizards who mainly focused on restraining or hindering enemies, and wizards who applied body strengthening magic and only engaged in hand-to-hand combat like fighters.
Wizards who engage in hand-to-hand combat there use ninety-nine magic gauntlets out of almost a hundred.
The duration of the self-buff is very short, so you have to cast it several times during the battle, not just bet it once.
There, ‘casting flexibility’, which reduces the casting speed and reduces the interval between using magic, is a very important factor.
Wands also have casting flexibility, but they were ignored because of their high mana consumption and lack of an additional agility stat.
The staff is typically a slow and destructive weapon, so it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
‘Uh… … There’s nothing like the staff when it comes to getting a deal cut to go to the top right away… But practicality is more important.’
If you meet the conditions for joining the party with the Bongdeal that is also displayed in the game, you will be criticized.
But this is absolutely reality.
Your performance at the top sometimes determines your grades for the most important 3 years of your life.
If you do the truth on a raw basis, you may end up being bullied and bullied and no one going to the tower with you.
‘ah.’
But when I thought about it, it suddenly came to my mind.
Is there a cadet who will enter the tower with him?
“… … .”
No matter how much you think about it!
Among normal cadets, that is.
‘I was already being bullied.’
Sehyun let out a bitter smile.
If there is no affection, I have no choice but to ask Yeo Yul or Choi Nabi to go with me.
But if that happens, it will be like riding the bus without fail.
Sehyun didn’t want to do that.
If that happens, it’s neither fun nor rewarding, and it’s like asking them to do some kind of service.
There are times when people live in debt to others, but at least I didn’t like them as much as those two who were a bunch of nuisances.
In that case, I thought solo play would be better.
No matter how weak the attack power is, the defense is guaranteed, so if you choose the right difficulty, there is no big crowd alone.
‘Hmm, this gauntlet only increases magic attack power for 8 million won… … Even if you look at it except for the fire property attack power, there is not much difference from the flame magician’s gauntlet.’
Back to the weapon issue.
It was speculated that the reason why the flame magician’s magic gauntlet had good cost performance was because of the weapon characteristics of the gauntlet.
Self-buffs and body strengthening magic do not have attributes.
However, it was the cause of hatred and contempt that the weapon called Gauntlet, which was mainly used by wizards who used such magic, was enhanced with fire properties.
So even though the basic specs are good, it was stuck in a corner like this, forming a price similar to that of a rapidly falling weapon.
‘Isn’t it bad again when you think so? Maybe fire magic could come out. Isn’t that a bitch?’
Alright, so let’s decide on this weapon.
Sehyun made up her mind.
In fact, it was a choice that could be made because it was Sehyeon, who could be said to be close to invincible in terms of defense.
‘Then, some accessories with the remaining money… … .’
The effect is applied just by wearing the accessory, even if it is not manifested.
After looking around for a while, I bought two that looked good.
< Proof of Apprentice Mage >
< Bracelet of Rapid Casting >
< Ring of Mana Consumption Reduction >
The mark of an apprentice mage was the ring, and it was an item that had a very simple effect of increasing magic attack power by 3.
Rapid casting bracelet increases casting speed by 10.
Casting speed is a sub-statistic of casting flexibility, but if you raise it by 10, it is quite useful.
After choosing that, I was able to fire magic, but it seemed like I was lacking in mana, so I inserted an item to reduce mana consumption.
Considering that the mana consumption reduction has increased by 5, it is quite reassuring.
‘Oh, I spent all my money.’
Originally, I was going to save two months’ worth of dormitory and living expenses, but in the middle, I was a bit short of money, so I spent the living expenses.
‘Ah, what’s the cost of living? If that doesn’t work, I just need to eat one meal a day.’
The dormitory and living expenses were really basic expenses, so it was not a burden for the cadets who entered the tower and started hunting stably.
After putting a lot of effort into matching the items, Sehyun headed to the training room.
And immediately turn on the portable terminal and execute the ‘damage measurement A’ function.
ㅡ Damage measurement begins.
The training dummy was covered in black light armor.
In that state, Dummy felt like a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and did not even move.
ㅡ Damage measurement A, starts counting down before shock absorption.
ㅡ 5, 4, 3… … .
Sehyun, who activated the magic gauntlet, fired magic as soon as the countdown was over.
“Mana Bolt!”
Hwareuk-!
The fireball hits the training dummy and passes through it.
‘Oh, I can tell just by feeling! The power has definitely increased!’
But there is no time to hesitate.
Damage measurement, short term lasts about 10 seconds.
I had to put even one more magic into it and get a high score.
To see how much burst you can put in 10 seconds.
“Whoa.”
After 10 seconds, Sehyun looked at the measurement results.
[ Congratulations! This is 1.54 times higher than the previous measurement! ]
“Oh oh.”
Because of some items, the 10-second delay was multiplied by 1.54.
Since we have set up a sustained deal such as casting flexibility and mana consumption reduction, better results will probably come out if the time increases.
After taking enough rest, I executed the ‘Damage Measurement B’ function.
Damage measurement B was a one-minute course.
ㅡ Damage measurement B, countdown begins.
ㅡ 5, 4, 3… … .
Likewise, as soon as the countdown ends, the magic is fired.
Hwareuk-!
‘Hey, I want to feel the amount of mana consumed.’
Originally, if I fired magic continuously, I would get tired in about 30 seconds, but now I was able to shoot mana bolts for a whole minute.
Even with more casts.
It seems that the double mana consumption reduction attached to the gauntlet and ring is big.
[ Congratulations! This is 2.26 times higher than the previous measurement! ]
‘ and 2.26 times. This is a game.’
A time when you can become noticeably stronger by changing just one item and raising one skill level.
It’s a fun time in the game, but Sehyun was actually a wizard right now.
A wizard who draws mana directly from his body and shoots fireballs.
What if this wasn’t reality, but a game where you just stared at the screen in front of a monitor?
I would have only felt the fun of increasing the simple damage mark and reducing the character’s MP barrel.
That alone would have been quite fun, but now it wasn’t a joke.
It shoots fireballs the same as yesterday, but the power is strong, and it is quite exhausting, but it does not get tired.
With this feeling, my heart was beating wildly.
‘great… … Shall we take a rest and go to course C?’
Damage measurement C was 10 minutes long.
A is explosion, B is lasting, and C is lasting.
The resulting value is combined in the application in the terminal to reveal the cadet’s combat power.
Although this damage measurement result can never be said to be an individual’s pure ability, it was only this much that could be judged by numbers, so the cadets used to use this as a criterion when seeking dealer positions.
“Mana Bolt!”
For now, Se-hyeon forgets that he is possessed, or that he is an academy-accredited villain, and starts casting magic in a trance.
Time passes like that-
“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… … !”
No matter how much the efficiency is greatly improved, after all, shooting magic for 10 minutes is bound to be very tiring.
[ Congratulations! This is a result that is 3.17 times higher than the previous measurement! ]
‘Hey, three times.’
But the results were sweet.
The spec cut towards the first floor of the top was achieved.
< The level of the ‘Wizard’ attribute has risen. >
‘no?’
And then there’s the ability level up.
You just reached level 3 of your Mage trait.
That means you can get new skills!
‘… … What magic!’
Sehyun got nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
