Episode 6
The spring water source is about 3 meters in diameter and is surrounded by rocks.
He brought his mouth to the spring and drank spring water.
Immediately, his eyes cleared, and energy welled up in his whole body.
gulp. gulp. gulp. gulp. gulp.
The spring water is effective even if you drink only one sip, but there was a reason to keep drinking it.
The first is because of the freshness that seems to quench the thirst that was not there.
The second was to relieve the heat surrounding the whole body.
When I was sufficiently full, I got up.
“It feels like swimming in hot spring water.”
The heat that started from entering the sub-dimension intensified as the movement increased.
Certainly, the body felt the gentle temperature of the sub-dimension.
However, my heart was in a state of being enveloped in hot energy.
I didn’t know why this happened in my previous life.
But now I know exactly why.
The identity of heat is mana.
The first time I asked Priest Philip to check Mana’s talent.
I realized that the identity of the heat I felt in the sub-dimension was mana.
The sub-dimension was a space filled with an enormous amount of mana.
The way to check Mana’s talent is simple.
First, the mana user injects mana into the target, and the presence or absence of talent is determined depending on whether or not the target detects it.
If it senses mana, then it classifies its talent according to how clearly it senses the flow.
Infusing someone with mana to test their talents is like showing them a problem and an answer and asking how much they understand it.
Even if it is the same problem, someone solves the problem in an easier and simpler way.
In addition, there are people who discover and solve difficult problems that others cannot even understand.
As such, there was a limit to distinguishing the degree of talent unless you deal with mana yourself.
As for my talent, it was at the level of barely understanding a problem, seeing the answer, and fumbling along.
‘It’s true that having talent is an advantage in accumulating mana. But he said that it is more important what kind of mana and in what environment he trains.’
The rate at which mana builds up is determined by the mana sensitivity, the level of the mana sim, and the mana density of the surroundings.
‘Isn’t it all a matter of one’s own ability, whether one is born with talent or trained in a good environment?’
Even those with a genius talent for mana express mana as warm heat.
However, the subdimensional mana I felt went beyond heat and even felt the texture of a hot liquid.
Limited to the sub-dimension, my mana sensitivity far surpassed that of a genius.
Although realizing the mana psyche is another area of talent, I was not disappointed.

Ordinary people driving on highways in ordinary sedans.
It was a matter of sticking together to know who would go farther and faster.
After drinking spring water once more, I returned to reality.
I fell asleep as I felt a light surge of fatigue and the warmth of the blanket.
Kkokkiook-
As soon as the rooster crowed in the morning, I got out of bed.
Unlike usual, Carly looked at me curiously as I got up right away.
I brought dried vegetables and meat from the warehouse and boiled them in the leftover meat porridge I ate yesterday.
‘Shall we eat properly today?’
To make up for the lack of carbohydrates, I picked up hard bread on the stove and crumbled it into small pieces.
The bread is as hard as a stone, but I couldn’t help but crumble the moment I got it in my hand.
After having a hearty breakfast, I finished preparing to go out in lighter clothes than usual.
The older brothers were also in a hurry to find someone to tend the cattle before going out to herd the cattle.
“Carly. Starting today, I’m going with the hyungs. Urban hyung, Alan hyung. I’ll go first.”
“Kying.”
“Yes, go.”
“Uh, let’s go.”
After stroking Carly’s head, he left the house.
In a world without electricity, people’s lives are tailored to the time the sun rises and sets.
In my previous life, it was early morning, less than 6:00 in the morning, but it was time for most people to wake up and be active.
By the time you arrive at the Yeongju Hall.
Across the sky was a red light that pushed away the darkness.
Perhaps it was too early, the door to the Youngju Hall was closed.
Yeongjugwan is the last bastion in case the village is invaded.
The inside was not visible because of the fence that exceeded the height of an adult.
‘It’s still early, so shall we wait a bit?’
Thinking of spending time leaning against the wall, I approached the Yeongju Hall.
Then, from inside the fence, a short breathing sound was heard along with the sound of the wind slicing.
It was a small sound that could not have been heard unless the senses were enhanced by spring water.
‘Are you in training? It’s still before it opens. After all, I don’t think anyone can become a knight.’
I knocked lightly on the main door of the Yeongju Hall.
“Hello, Mr. Herbert. This is Ian. Are you awake?”
After a while, the gate opened and a man I had never seen before greeted me.
He looked the same age as Urban hyung.
He was a little taller than me, but unlike me, who was slim, he had broad shoulders.
The man was training in short sleeves even in the cold winter.
The arm muscles more than twice as thick as the wrist and the huge mace in the hand were impressive.
“Hello, my name is Ian. I was supposed to see the lord in the morning. Are you there?”
“This is Richard. I will guide you to the lord, so please follow me.”
As soon as Richard answered, he turned around and walked away.
Feeling embarrassed, I followed him with a quick step.
The permanent residence, the only two-story building in our village, was mainly used by officials who came to collect taxes, and occasionally knights or nobles who passed through the village stayed.
The structure was somewhat familiar as the villagers took turns cleaning.
When I opened the front door, a space the size of half of our house appeared.
After passing through the door on the right side of the entrance, I saw a long hallway to the left and a stairway at the end.
Richard led me to the study on the second floor.
“My lord. Ian-kun, you said, is here.”
“Yes. Come on in.”
“Then I’ll go in.”
When I opened the door, I saw Uncle Herbert sitting cross-legged on the carpet on the floor.
Uncle Herbert took a moment to catch his breath, then got up and sat down at the round table.
“Come over here, both of you, and sit down.”
As Richard and I sat down, Uncle Herbert started talking.
“Richard. This is Ian Frost, Yorick’s son, Ian, the close friend I mentioned. And Ian. This is Richard Croft, my squire, who has been with me on the border for four years. He’s like family to me. Richard finished eight years of knight school, and this year He is a very talented person who has risen to the top of the three ranks at the age of 20.”
“It’s too much praise, my lord.”
“He is also a gentleman with humility. Ian, you must be wondering why I am introducing Richard in such detail.
But there is one condition. There must have been a purpose in your steady training in order to acquire mana simbeop. There are certain places where you can use martial arts, so you probably want to become a mercenary or a knight.”
Uncle Herbert looked at me with a knowing look.
From noble mtl dot com
“If I only teach you the mana simbeop and send it to you, you won’t be able to see Yorick in case something happens. That’s why I want you to learn martial arts.
Because I became a knight through war, I did not receive systematic education like other knights. So there are many aspects that are lacking to teach you from the basics. However, Richard, who graduated from a knight school with a top rank, will have no shortage of being your teacher.
Training will never be easy and I won’t give up until I’m at least at a level I’m happy with. If you’re thinking of giving up halfway and sneaking away, know that it’s useless. Wherever you go on the border, you won’t escape my eyes. If you’re determined, I’ll teach you the mana simbeop.”
Uncle Herbert was an angel sent by my father.
I was worried about how to learn martial arts.
I answered immediately without hesitation.
“I’ll do my best if you teach me. But I don’t intend to become a knight, do I have to learn etiquette?”
“Consult with Richard about the details and adjust them. And regarding martial arts, I will give you additional training based on the situation. However, from what I can see, I will teach you after you have the basics. My standards are by no means low. To meet those standards, You have to work hard without stopping.”
“Okay. I’ll try not to disappoint you.”
Herbert smiled happily, as if he liked the quick answer.
“Yes. Then let’s assume that we agreed and have a serious talk. Do you know how to learn mana simbeop?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I do know that I have to receive the mana simbeop and imprint it on my soul.”
“Yes. You know the big picture. In fact, if you have talent, it doesn’t take too long to imprint your mind. The process of imprinting your mind is as easy as looking at a picture someone else has drawn and drawing over it. However, for those who lack talent, it is as difficult as drawing a picture after seeing it once with your eyes closed.
The mana simbeop I will teach you once will take about thirty minutes. Considering your talent, it seems that you need at least 10 times of training and engraving.
As long as you don’t have talent, engraving requires more time than just learning the simbeop, and only you can do it yourself. If you stop imprinting without completing it completely, your efforts up to that point may be in vain, so stay here for a while and concentrate on imprinting your mind.”
“Thank you for being considerate. But the hyungs will be worried if it’s too late. Can I say that it will take some time and come?”
“Soon, employees will come to help with the permanent residence. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you well.”
“All right.”
“Since the transmission of the simbeop cannot be stopped once it starts, let’s check your training status before that. Knowing your exact status allows you to plan how to educate Richard. Richard. Bring me two logs.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After Richard’s answer, we left the study.
Some time after arriving at the yard.
Richard walked lightly, carrying two logs half my height.
“Put the log to one side and both stand in the middle of the yard. Let’s try bare-handed fighting first. Ian, Richard won’t get hurt, so try your best. Richard has a recovery potion, so don’t worry about his injuries, just enough to keep him from dying. Give it to me. If it’s necessary, I’ll bring Father Philip. Then, let’s get started.”
Uncle Herbert spat out the bloody words casually.
I stood up with my fists clenched and looked at Richard.
‘Since he said he was a warrior of the three ranks, there’s nothing special, right? But just in case, let’s take a look at the liver.’
If I punch with sincerity, even a tree the size of an adult calf can be broken in one shot.
A knight is no different from a strong normal person unless he uses mana.
It could lead to an accident, so I decided to explore lightly first.
While I’m thinking about how I’ll deal with it.
Richard’s expressionless face subtly changed, as if looking down on me.
When I didn’t seem to have any intention of approaching, Richard approached step by step, stepping in a steady rhythm.
Before we knew it, we were close enough to touch if we stretched out our fists.
