I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

130 – Something in Deep Consciousness

“From advanced magic onwards, the difficulty level rises considerably because the ability to deploy multiple spells is basically required, but if you are Seonwoo, who has a good sense of magic, you can do it within at least half a year…? “

Marcard, who was explaining advanced magic techniques by writing them down on the whiteboard, turned his head and stopped talking without realizing it when he saw Seonwoo Lee.

“…”

Gooo-

A hazy and blurry gaze as if it is not looking in this direction even though it is looking straight ahead, and greatly dilated pupils, as well as the afterglow of magical power flickering within it and the heightened phenomenon of magical energy subtly seething throughout the body .

What all these phenomena mean…

“‘Enlightenment’ phenomenon..? Wait, you’re saying that you can become enlightened about advanced magic with something that isn’t even such a basic explanation…?!”

An overwhelming and brilliant magical talent that leaves even Makard, who has taught thousands of wizards and seen tens of thousands of wizards, speechless.

Macard, who was looking at the sparkling talent as if he were fascinated, soon silenced the sound of his footsteps and quietly widened the distance, and silently drew a happy smile on his lips as he took in the sight of his student with a promising future .

Rustling-

In his arms, there was an application form for graduate school that could be completed by just writing your name at any time.

******

Seonwoo Lee’s talent for magic was at a phenomenal level.

To some extent, he gains a small piece of enlightenment every time he uses magic.

The pieces that had accumulated in my mind were enough to be left over even if I learned advanced magic a long time ago.

All the pieces to complete the puzzle are already in your hands.

But why couldn’t Seonwoo Lee learn advanced magic?

It was very simple.

This is because I did not know the completed form of the puzzle (advanced magic).

He has the talent to complete a puzzle in an instant, but he was unable to complete it because the puzzle itself was a blank piece of paper.

So, to put it the other way.

If you can see the picture of the puzzle even for a moment,

If only I could get just the slightest hint…

[Episode 〈 The level of magic 〉 increases (LV6 → LV7)]

Seonwoo Lee was able to easily complete the puzzle (magic).

******

Ultra-concentration and elevation of spirit by the phenomenon of enlightenment. The resulting temporary expansion of the mind.

Lee Seon-woo’s mind was in its best state since the past, with a cool sensation as if his head had been opened.

-…

Seonwoo Lee opened his eyes and looked around.

A world where everything is black and white.

Next, I looked down at myself.

There, I saw a translucent body and a vast black sea reflected beyond it.

I knew it instinctively.

You are a body made up of your mind, and the sea below is the depth of your mind.

As I looked into the sea, I saw sparkling pieces of the puzzle (enlightenment) piled up at the bottom of the sea.

I unconsciously thought I wanted to look closer, and several pieces began to float to the surface.

Chak-Chak-

Seonwoo Lee carefully landed in the sea, scooped up the pieces of enlightenment that surfaced, and quickly began to put them together.

[〈The level of water magic〉 increases! (LV6 → LV7)]

[〈 The level of wind magic 〉 increases…

[〈 The level of magic 〉 has increased…

[〈 The level of magic 〉 is…

[Number of 〈 light magic 〉…

[〈 Cancer Magic 〉…

[〈Brain Ma…

As the pieces of enlightenment are completed one by one into a puzzle, stagnant magic jumps to the next level (advanced).

Tak-

[〈The level of space magic〉 increases (LV6 → LV7)]

As soon as I completed the last puzzle, all the types of magic I was learning rose to the advanced level.

With this, we can say that the goal has been achieved.

-…

But Lee Seon-woo’s gaze is still on the sea of spirit beneath the field.

To be exact, it was fixed on the fragments of enlightenment that still remained dozens of times more than that, even after completing advanced magic, under the sea.

Because his talent was whispering.

─ At that level, he can go one step further.

─That means we can move on to the next step.

Plop-

Seonwoo Lee dived to the bottom of the sea as if possessed.

Tak-

After swimming for about ten minutes, Lee Seon-woo landed on the bottom of the sea and silently began to put the pieces of enlightenment together.

It takes several times longer than completing advanced magic.

[All magic levels increase! (LV6 → LV10)]

However, Seonwoo Lee managed to complete the puzzle using all the pieces.

Now all you have to do is escape the sea of spirit.

-Uh… ?

And only then did Seonwoo Lee realize.

-Where… ‘Up’?

When I noticed, the floor I had been standing on had disappeared at some point.

A pitch-black sea with no light source and no distinction between top and bottom.

Lee Seon-woo was left alone.

-Ugh… !?

To make matters worse, I suddenly started having trouble breathing.

As if I had really fallen into the sea.

This is because, as the phenomenon of enlightenment came to an end, the elevation of the spirit subsided and the expanded mental world was contracting.

Seonwoo Lee swam in the direction his head was pointed.

It was an action inferred from the fact that his feet had been on the floor just a moment ago.

-Jen… Page… !

But no matter how hard he swam, he did not come to the surface.

No, I don’t even know if I’m going straight now.

He seemed disoriented and felt like he was going up, down, and sideways.

However, Seonwoo Lee did not give up and continued to move forward…

-Huh… Huh…

Now even that has reached its limit.

Even though he swam for more than several hours, he did not reach the surface.

-Ah… Ah…

A thick fog forms in his once clear mind.

I’m out of breath.

The feeling disappears.

Finally, vision becomes blurred.

-… Ah.

And now, at the moment when vision is about to completely go dark.

Tuk-

I felt like someone was pushing my back.

Huuung-!

A body that suddenly began to rise at an incredible speed.

Just before reaching the surface, in that split second, I tried to look back.

‘Something’ reflected at the end of my blurred vision──

******

Flash-

“Huh… !”

When I opened my eyes, I quickly looked around.

Instead of a pitch-black sea, there was only a futuristic-looking facility and a middle-aged man with glasses, Professor Markard, who knew he had come to his senses and approached him.

Other than that, nothing was visible.

“Hmm… Huuu…”

I took a deep breath and calmed down my excitement.

Professor Makard talks to me like that.

“Seonwoo, have you come to your senses? It looks like this is your first time experiencing enlightenment. How are you feeling?”

“Enlightenment… Phenomenon… ?”

“Yes. A state of extreme concentration that occurs with an extremely rare probability when a warrior or wizard above a certain level receives an opportunity for growth. Everyone who experiences this phenomenon grows greatly. “I have entered it only twice so far.”

That dangerous experience is normal… ?

“Then… Professor Markard… In that sea… ?”

“The sea? Oh, you mean deep consciousness. In my case, it was a mountain of paper. I took a few sheets out of there and turned them into a book, and I realized the highest level of magic.”

“Have you ever entered deep consciousness?”

“That can’t be right. It’s a place you can’t normally go into. If you go in carelessly, you’ll lose your ego. … Actually, I tried to go in out of curiosity, but perhaps because of an instinctive reaction to protect my ego, a sudden feeling of rejection spread throughout my body. It was boiling and I tried to force it to go in, but the moment I tried to go in, it popped out.”

Looking at Professor Macard, who had a truly regretful expression on his face, I realized that the same experience was not normal.

‘Rejection… There wasn’t anything in particular… It didn’t bounce off and dived smoothly…’

Then how could I do that?

Just when I was trying to get deep in thought.

Professor Markard interrupted my thoughts by holding out something.

It is a jewel staff imbued with thunder energy and a magic stone belt containing spare magic power.

When I looked up, Professor Makard was smiling mischievously.

“Hey, Seonwoo. You’ve definitely mastered advanced magic, right?”

“Yes…”

“Then of course I should use it, right?”

“I see… Right?”

“Then what should I do? I have to use it right away! Quick, quick! Quick, quick!”

Professor Markard puts a cane in my hand and puts on a belt for me, as if he is more excited than I am about acquiring it.

I was following along with a dazed feeling, but when I came to my senses, I found myself standing in the very center of the training ground.

‘Er, I don’t know anymore.’

After putting my worries aside, I started to feel excited about using advanced magic.

‘Then who will be the first target of advanced magic…’

A list of monsters I’ve seen so far running through my mind.

Among them, I chose one.

“Monster reproduction. Target designation, B-rank boss monster: Giant black iron golem.”

Ugh-!

Countless blue lights began to coalesce, forming a huge giant over 10 meters tall, wearing 1 meter thick black steel armor.

He is the boss of the dungeon my team was assigned to in a dungeon studies class, and he has the best durability among the monsters I have ever met.

“Ohhh──!!!”

Thump-

The weight of the ground shaking just by taking a single step and the size of the head being visible only when you raise your head all the way naturally created an incredibly intimidating feeling.

And I was standing so close that I could reach him in just 10 steps at that guy’s pace.

But still, I felt relaxed.

Because…

‘Because I have the confidence to take it down with one blow!’

Ugh-!

I draw out the magic power of the staff and the belt and mix them together, and use that magic power to create a spell in an instant.

Rumbling-!

According to the magic spell, the magic power was converted into a thousand lightning bolts and condensed into the tip of the staff, emitting a ferocious howl.

Jijijijijik—!!!

Soon, the thousand lightning bolts intertwined and intertwined became one giant arrow.

“Ohhh!!!”

As if threatened by the almost gigantic arrow, the giant began to move his feet faster…

“It’s already too late.”

I calmly aimed the tip of my staff at the exact center of the giant and unleashed his magic.

〈Advanced Brain Magic〉

「100 Thunder Episodes」

───!!!!!!

An intense flash of light that turns the entire clock white and a roar that exceeds the audible frequency.

It gradually subsided over time, and eventually the scene before my eyes appeared.

“O… hhh…”

Kuung-

A kneeling black iron giant.

There was a huge hole in the giant’s chest, more than three meters in diameter, that was clearly visible beyond.

… Gu… Ung

With his central core destroyed by the blow, the giant extinguished his burning eye light and soon turned into a blue light and disappeared.

‘To achieve this power with intermediate magic, it must be stacked at least 30 times… Indeed, is this advanced magic?’

Unrivaled power to defeat a B-grade boss monster with one blow.

It was also great in that it could be used almost immediately, unlike before, which required several minutes of processing.

Instead, he took a third of the magic power at once.

Professor Markard looks bright as he is conserving his magic power. I ran over here with a smile.

“Excellent! It’s really great, Seonwoo!

The speed of construction of the spell, the distribution of magical energy without waste, and the cool-headedness to deploy magic without wavering! It was an outstanding skill that could not be attributed to someone who had just learned advanced magic!”

“… Yes, thank you. It’s all thanks to Professor Makard’s help.”

“No, it’s all Sunwoo’s abilities.”

Professor Makard’s enthusiastic praise with a happy smile.

But strangely enough, as I became the target, I felt a chill running down my spine.

“I make a wonderful proposal to such a talented Seonwoo.”

Professor Makard said that and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

The moment I saw that paper, my ominousness reached its peak.

“Would you like to become my graduate student and delve into the abyss of magic with me?”

No. No, I do not want. Don’t do it.

Even if you shake your head, the paper keeps coming in.

It was truly a moment of dilemma.

There is only one way to solve this.

“「Flash explosion」”

Destroys the professor’s eyesight.

“Nuooot!!!”

“I was so thankful today!”

I left my seat at full speed, saying goodbye to Professor Makard, who was holding his eyes as he watched the brain magic that maximized the amount of light.

No matter how much help I gave, the offer crossed the line!
