chapter 38
38 – Golden Sun of Reversal-2
The extremely confident shouts were not those of those cornered, but those of triumphant victors. Everyone shuts their mouths at the sound of shouting that feels even shameless. People who were angry and people who came out of curiosity became curious at this point.
Why on earth is that blond, tanned bully looking so smiley even when he sees a monster named Linnea de Caldeira in front of him?
“Judge! Attorney! I will speak!!!”
The old man’s way of speaking, which doesn’t go well with his appearance, bursts out. The loud and resounding voice was well transmitted to the corners of the audience, and attention was focused on Dayman at once. Dayman confirms that the attention is focused on him and immediately looks at Linnea.
“First of all, prosecutor. Good point. I heard you. However, fundamentally speaking, my magic is not Blaspermus.”
Linnea laughs at that.
“If you say no, there will be no criminals in this world. You’ll have to prove that, right?”
“Of course! My magic claimed that there was an omission of the 4 stages of magic manifestation, right? But you’re wrong. All types of magic that Seria and I used during the midterm evaluation were the only ones that thoroughly guarded the 4th stage of magic manifestation. Isn’t it possible that the magic that protects the four stages is black magic?”
Everyone bursts into laughter at his shameless remarks. What kind of nonsense is that?
“Then let me explain. In front of the judge and the audience. Why was so much anti-mana flow detected in the magic that protected all 4 stages of alternative magic manifestation, and it couldn’t be dispelled even with dispel magic, and it wasn’t even registered with the mage tower magic?”
Linnea thought Dayman would stumble here. But Dayman didn’t hesitate at all and answered straight away.
“Let me explain. The reason why the anti-mana flow was detected was because the inner energy inside the body was hammered into the magic wand, and the reason why it couldn’t be canceled with dispel magic was because it was just a bunch of raw mana without any magical structure, and it was not registered in the mage tower. The reason is because I was the first person to develop it.”
The inside of the courtroom is quiet.
It was because the nonsensical sounds burst out so quickly that it took time to digest them. Linnea looks at Dayman with her face contorted in bewilderment.
“Do you put your inner energy… Into a magic wand?”
“Yes. It replaced the condensation process during stage 4 of magical manifestation. If you call this Blaspermus, it would be like blaming all of Moorim’s martial arts as black magic.”
“Of course I don’t intend to call it Blaspermus! More than that, you said that you used internal energy, so are you saying that I learned qigong?”
“Of course. Not only me, but also Seria.”
Linnea was speechless for a moment. She could retort if it was to lie or to bizarrely muffle the point with her eloquence. But she couldn’t figure out what to do with such nonsense. Linnaeus grabbed her mentality and gave a common-sense counter-argument.
“You may not know if it’s Mr. Dayman, who was a member of the Knights Faculty, but Mr. Seria was an ordinary wizard just a few months ago. How on earth can someone like that learn qigong?”
“I made a magic technique for wizards that I can learn easily and quickly in a short period of time.”
“……”
“It’s a simple internal technique with only 18 blood vessels to turn. It has effects such as strengthening physical abilities and strengthening reflexes, but that is secondary. The key is condensed mana. In other words, it allows even wizards to handle internal energy. And that energy was directly injected into the staff.”
Daman smiled.
“So it’s only natural that there will be an anti-mana flow, right? I’m sure no one has ever done something crazy to imbue a wand with energy. I mean, it wasn’t caused by the unstable use of magic in the first place.”
People who were angry and people who were full of curiosity were speechless. Because what Dayman was saying was so nonsense.
In a word, that is a fusion of martial arts and magic. Doesn’t that mean you’ve done it?
“That’s why Dispel didn’t work. It’s not because it’s a dark magic with a twisted structure that can’t be dispelled, but because it’s just a terribly simple form of magic, so it didn’t apply. The basic principle of dispel is to unlock the 4 stages of magic manifestation, but my magic is so… So simple.”
Daman gives Linnea a smirk as if showing off.
“Even if you have a key that unlocks all locks, can’t you pick a stone? Yes?”
“Lies!!! Judge!! The accused is lying!! There’s no way it’s that easy to fuse martial arts and magic!!”
At Linnea’s words, the judge also nodded her head.
“I admit it. Defendant. If you want to say that the claim is true, please show me proof that you are dealing with Naegigong.”
At the judge’s words, Dayman puts her finger forward as if it’s not difficult. With a whooshing sound, something exploded from the fingertips.
“Wait a minute!”
“What is that now?”
Take classes.
That shining blue light and spewing out in the air was definitely a strong weapon used by the warriors of the Jinyong Empire. Dayman shows off his lectures to the audience as if showing off. It’s like everyone sees it.
“Seria is also possible. Ceria. Show me.”
After Seria focused for a moment on Dayman’s words, she soon began to exude her strong energy from her fingertips. Although the length and shape were crude compared to Dayman’s, Seria was also emitting strong energy without difficulty.
Judge and Linnea’s eyes pop out.
“……That’s true. Am I learning qigong? Two people.”
“I told you. I learned the Qigong I made.”
Rinnea hurriedly replies to Dayman’s words.
“It could be a gimmick! In the first place, Naegigong is not made so easily!! I will request the summons of the certification officer!! We need to examine the bodies of the accused to see if they are truly internal qigong or not!”
“What is it? Do whatever the prosecutor wants.”
Dayman says that with a grin. The attitude that he has nothing to be ashamed of. At that, the judge waved his hand, and after a while, two wizards wearing name badges called certification officers entered the courtroom.
As people who specialize in discriminating between magic and martial arts, they are the most specialized in this kind of verification. After the two solemnly shouted the oath of truth, they approached Dayman and Seria.
“I request you to open the magic barrier of the accused.”
After the magic barrier was lifted, the Certifier summoned Dayman and Seria to their front.
“Sit cross-legged. I will examine the inside of your body.”
“So what?”
Two people sit down on the floor. The certifiers carefully put their hands behind Dayman and Seria’s back and begin to concentrate. In the meantime, everyone was talking about this and that while staring at Dayman and Seria.
“I am qigong using magic. Did you skip the condensation process with that? Certainly, it is not impossible if the premise is that there is a simple inner qigong that magicians can learn.”
“Do you think that makes sense? The physical and mental structures of wizards and samurai are completely different. A person who knows both sides well would be able to study for a long time…”
“I just… I was wondering if it would be very revolutionary if possible. Wasn’t there a precedent like that before?”
Are the two students who claim to have achieved the ridiculous feat of merging martial arts and magic really liars? Or is it the beginning of a new revolution that no one knew about?
The moment when the mouths of the two certification officers are waiting for each other’s mouths to open for different reasons, some in anticipation and some in hopes of downfall. The two open their eyes. Their faces were full of surprise.
“It is true that I am learning qigong. Although it is an unprecedentedly reduced and simplified internal qigong, it is correct.”
“What?…….”
Rinnea’s eyes widen. It was a completely unexpected answer.
At the words of the two certification officers, the buzz explodes once more.
“I am qigong right?”
“Is the wizard learning my qigong?”
“Lady Seria was someone I didn’t know much about qigong, but after only a few months, she said I learned qigong? Is that even possible?”
Amidst the buzz, Seolah Yoo’s smile began to grow thicker, and the smile on Horace’s face gradually began to fade. It became a sh*tty expression, but it is a board that recognized even the certification officer. Lynnea had no choice but to admit it.
“I admit that I am learning qigong…….”
“Yes. Are you admitting it?”
“However, I still cannot agree that your magic is not Blaspermus. Even if the condensation process is replaced by using internal air, there may be problems with other processes.”
The judge agrees with Linnea.
“I admit it. Mr. Dayman. An explanation of the other magical processes is also needed.”
“What. Yes. Judge. I will explain in detail the entire process of the manifestation of magic bullets.”
Dayman looked at everyone and continued his explanation as if he were lecturing rather than defending himself. He was laughing He was rather grateful to the professors who prosecuted him.
For free, this is such a good opportunity to showcase and advertise your magic in front of many, many key figures in the magic world!! Could there ever be another situation where the Eastern folk tale of the new Ongjima fits so well! He had a smile on his face and explained in an easy to understand way.
“Come on. Prosecutor? I heard that condensation is replaced with internal energy. Now, I will explain the transformation process in the development of magic bullets.”
Dayman continues his explanation in a lecture-toned voice with appropriate gestures and perfect tempo control.
“The condensed energy is poured directly into the amplifying core of the wand or wand to replace the conversion process. You wouldn’t call this Blaspermus, would you? This is one of the transformation techniques developed by Medea, the archmage who belonged to the warriors’ party during the Great War.”
Rinne hesitates for a moment, then nods her head.
“I admit that. It’s a rare method that isn’t used often, but your conversion process isn’t blaspermus.”
“Okay. Then, the condensed and converted mana chunks are gathered at the tip. And then grant it. Extremely simple and intuitive commands. Just give the command to fly all the way in a straight line.”
Daman looks at Linnea with a sly joke.
“How are you? Prosecutor? The most~simplest type of grant that only gives direction. Is this Blaspermus too?”
“……”
“If this is Blaspermus, then most of the origin magic of Romellen, the Archmage of the First Era, is Blaspermus. Speaking of magic at that time, it was simple magic that gave a certain direction to mana and caused wind.”
Linnea bites her lip.
I felt like going crazy.
I shouldn’t be like this.
This is the way to lose.
“……I admit it. The granting process is also not Blaspermus.”
I couldn’t help but admit it.
Daman looked at Linnea’s crumpled face and explained the last step.
“And expression. What is this……just a manifestation. Like all other magics, the calculation part of the tip calculates and blows it away. This is how magic is completed. If I had explained it this far, everyone would have understood.”
Dayman delivers the final blow with a smile on his face.
“It is certainly true that it is twisted and strangely altered. It’s to the point where I’m mistaken for black magic. But my magic guards all four stages of magic manifestation. The process and techniques were also taken from standard magics that were recognized for their stability. In short.”
Dayman smiles at Linnea, confident of her victory.
“It should be called revolutionary magic, not Blaspermus. Still, if you want to claim to be Blaspermus, well… That’s fine.”
Daman replied.
Now.
“Now it’s the prosecutor’s turn to prove it. You just need to prove that the magic that protects all four stages of magic manifestation is Blaspermus.”
It was Linnea’s turn to respond.
