“Today’s class doesn’t end here. I will use the iron ingots to practice until the next class.”

When the class was over, the cadets rushed out, and Sehun Lee’s eyes, who got up late, opened his eyes slightly.

‘ah… … come.’

I was still fiddling around with iron ingots throughout the class while I had no stamina, so now I ran out of magic.

The symptoms of exhaustion slowly creeping in and the endorphins that are released as if resisting them. At that moment, Lee Se-hoon, who felt his body’s magical power drying up, staggered and tried to move.

“Lee Se-hoon cadet.”

Kim In-cheol, who had not yet gone out, called Lee Se-hoon.

“Yes?”

“I have something to tell you, but… … Is the time okay?”

Today’s class is just the last day, so there is no schedule left. After thinking for a moment, Sehun nodded his head.

“it’s okay.”

“Then let’s go to the lab.”

Se-hun Lee, who came to Kim In-cheol’s laboratory on the second floor of the main building, glanced around the room.

The inside of the laboratory was neatly organized without any personal objects, but I didn’t feel much of a trace of the ark owner.

‘but. The blacksmith knows when he sees the workshop.’

When Se-Hoon Lee is looking around as if it’s not interesting in a laboratory with nothing to see than he thought. Kim In-cheol sat on the sofa and pointed to the other side.

“Sit down.”

“Yes… … .”

As soon as her buttocks touched the sofa, the tension in her body fell and her body staggered, and Kim In-cheol’s eyes widened at the sight.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. it’s okay. I’m a bit busy today… … .”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. Didn’t you do intermediate smelting yesterday?”

“It’s a little bit too busy. It’s fine, so don’t worry.”

It didn’t look like it was all right for her complexion to turn white, but what if she said so?

In fact, unlike his appearance, he could feel a strange sense of stability in Lee Se-hoon’s body, so Kim In-cheol nodded with a shaky expression.

“What if you… … Oh, is that the weapon you made yesterday?”

Kim In-cheol finds the rosary ring on his wrist and shows interest. Seeing that, Sehun Lee rolled up his sleeves.

“Yes. Would you like to see it?”

“Please.”

Kim In-cheol, who was handed the rosary ring from Lee Se-hoon, looked at the information window and the outside, and immediately put on a surprised expression.

“Great. You’ve already dealt with this much of Mukjungam… … The inside is unique, but what did you use it for?”

“This time, we applied the barrier structure we learned separately. How I made it… … .”

It wasn’t even at the level to hide, so Se-hun Lee explained the process of making the rosary ring, and Kim In-cheol, who heard the story, was deeply impressed.

‘How can you melt the magic you have just learned so skillfully into a weapon… … .’

Learning magic and dissolving it in a weapon may seem similar, but they are completely different fields.

But how do you do those two so well? It’s been a long time since I’ve been a professor at Babel, but I’ve never seen a cadet with such wide potential and outstanding talent.

‘I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but… … My eyes weren’t wrong either.’

Se-Hoon Lee in front of him has the potential to make a big difference in the smelting department and even the blacksmithing industry.

During the first semester, Kim In-cheol was convinced that there was no need to apply, but he straightened his expression.

“Student Lee Se-hoon. I have a suggestion for you.”

Kim In-cheol returns the rosary and talks seriously. In the changed atmosphere, Lee Se-hun also nodded his head, grasping his slack in his mind.

“You tell me.”

“Are you thinking of taking the minor class I teach?”

A proposal within the somewhat expected range. Sehun Lee made a curious expression on him.

“If it’s a minor class, are you talking about ‘Mugu Fundamental Studies’?”

“That’s right. Do you know what you are dealing with?”

“Yes. I knew beforehand.”

Kim In-cheol’s ‘The Fundamentals of Armaments’ was a class that explores the origins of weapons, and it was well known to the outside world.

It is said that 100 artisans teach, but the biggest reason is that the budget supported by Babel was large enough to fit within ten fingers across all classes.

‘I said that Ludwig was particularly interested.’

Babel was an academy for nurturing promising youngsters and a research institute supporting professors at the same time.

If there were no such conditions, it was not easy to write talented people among the heroes as professors.

‘Actually, it’s possible because the head of the academy is the yangban rather than money.’

Those who have completed the Tower of Heroes will have a tremendous influence just by their name.

Therefore, the place called Babel was able to be established, and Kim In-cheol’s martial arts fundamentals, who was receiving the attention of such a person, naturally drew attention.

‘I think the ending wasn’t very good, but… … .’

Before the return, Lee Se-hoon had never even heard of Kim In-cheol, and the study of martial arts was also treated as nonsense.

Perhaps for whatever reason, Kim In-cheol did not achieve the desired results, so Ludwig’s support was cut off and forgotten.

‘If you think about the future, you have to go inside, but it’s a waste of time… … .’

Considering the present, among the classes in the Faculty of Refining, Ludwig received the most support.

Whatever the origins of the martial arts, if it plays an active part in it, it may attract more attention from Ludwig and the Congolese will not drop a lot.

“All right.”

“Are you really okay? I know that there are quite a few minors who applied… … .”

“no. You have to do this three times… … No, there are only four. What?”

Bodily Control Studies, Ancient Enchantment Studies, and Infinite Roots Studies in barrier construction. It seemed to be chosen just right, not too little and not too much.

‘If you need the other side, you can look towards the circle later.’

1 semester is enough. Kim In-cheol nodded at Lee Se-hoon’s confident appearance.

“If you are, then so be it. Best wishes in the future.”

“I would like to thank you.”

Without saying who came first, the two naturally shook hands, and in the meantime, Sehun Lee naturally extracted a relationship.

[Extract the relationship from the target ‘Kim In-cheol’]

[The relationship with the producer ‘Sehun Lee’ is Lv.1.]

‘Hmm… … I don’t see any signs of leveling up yet.’

I think I’ll have to show a little more performance while listening to the class so I can upload it. Leaving behind the regret, Sehun Lee released his hand after finishing the extraction.

“Then I’ll just get up.”

“You must be tired, but I’m sorry I caught you. then… … Ah, I forgot about that.”

Kim In-cheol, who stood up from his seat, went to his desk and brought a small necklace and held it out.

“This… … ?”

“It’s an admission gift. I got some help thanks to you coming to Babel, so I prepared it.”

When Lee Se-hoon looked surprised at the unexpected gift, Kim In-cheol smiled bitterly.

“It’s not that great. Let me open it.”

At Kim In-cheol’s suggestion, Lee Se-hoon nodded and opened the collar.

Whoo!

A red hexagonal ore placed inside the neck armor. Sehun Lee made an interesting expression at the soft light and heat leaking outside.

“This is Hong Yeom-ok.”

“I heard that you were dealing with red salt, so I prepared it because I thought it might be helpful.”

Hong Yeom-ok. As the name suggests, it was an ore containing the essence of red flame, the fire attribute magic that Sehun Lee had learned, and it was a very useful item.

By extracting the essence contained in it and absorbing it into the body, it was possible to permanently strengthen the redness.

‘It’s nothing. I’ve been looking for something with a fairly high purity.’

If this is enough, it is possible to ‘evolve’ it one step, not simply to strengthen it. At the appropriate gift, Sehun Lee nodded with a satisfied expression on his face.

“I will write well.”

“I’d love to help. Oh, can you do the extraction yourself?”

Extracting purified water is analogous to separating the skin and kernels of the fruit neatly without damaging them.

Of course, it was not something that could be done easily by cadets who had just entered the school, as well as for upper-class students.

“it’s okay.”

It was a story that had nothing to do with Lee Se-hun.

“I can do this on my own.”

Seeing Lee Se-hoon talking insignificantly, Kim In-cheol smiled and nodded as if he knew that.

“I see. Then go and get some rest.”

“Yes. Then we will go.”

Lee Se-hoon, who shook his head, quickly went outside as if he was tired, and Kim In-cheol, who was looking at the back, smiled bitterly.

‘You look good.’

* * *

Returning to the dormitory, Sehun Lee immediately changed into comfortable clothes and looked at his body.

“This is enough… … The remaining magical power is 7%.”

Most of the magical powers I felt faintly disappeared, and my whole body sank as heavy as cotton soaked in water.

A pure human body before realizing magical powers. Lee Se-hoon, who was close to that state, made a satisfied expression.

‘The best is less than 1%, but… … It’s my first time, so this would be appropriate.’

Sitting on the floor in the living room, Sehun Lee sat cross-legged and looked at the rosary rings on his wrists and ankles.

A blue line in the center of the rosary ring. It was about a third of the thickness, but it meant that there was that much magical power inside.

‘If this amount is enough, it can be quenched… … Shall we do it slowly?’

After confirming that everything was ready, Se-hun Lee took out the Hong Yeom-ok from Kim In-cheol and looked at it.

[Yeomok Hong]

[Rating: Rare] [Quality: Best]

An ore containing the essence of red flame.

It has the specialized ability to melt ore into a liquid.

*You can quickly melt the mixed ore.

‘It’s good too.’

Wouldn’t it be close to a thousand if it was a quality of this quality of red dye jade?

I don’t know if it was before the return, but now that I’m still a cadet, it was a precious thing, so Lee Se-hoon’s eyes lit up.

‘I’ll scrape it all the way to the bone marrow.’

With Hong Yeom-seok in both hands, Se-hun Lee slowly closed his eyes and thought of ‘Forging’ to start from now.

Basically, unless you have a special skill, you can only deal with 2 or 3 elemental magic.

This is because, when multiple attribute magics exist in the body, they often collide with each other.

‘The higher the grade, the higher the risk, and even if you control it well, there are many cases where they affect each other.’

For a combat job, such a trivial effect would be irrelevant, but for a blacksmith who requires precise processing, it is very lethal.

Therefore, it was common for most blacksmiths to deal with only one attribute of magic that suited their aptitudes, but Sehun Lee was different.

“Whew… … .”

Taking a light breath, Se-hun Lee concentrated on Hong Yeom-ok.

The essence of the red flame pulsating inside. Sehun Lee, who felt a spark that was pure enough to be incomparable to the one he was dealing with, slowly drew it inside.

profit!

Smoke rises from his palms, then his whole body turns red, and sweat pours down like rain.

Originally, the magic power inside her body would have blocked the heat, but now her magic power is almost exhausted, and that’s because it’s impossible.

bubbling-

The essence of the red flame that spreads through the body along the arm with the sensation of boiling blood.

The body, almost depleted of magical power, reflexively drew in the same essence of red flames, which spread throughout the body.

“… … .”

A sensation of flames flowing all over your body from head to toe.

The burning pain inside his body was so terrifying that even the heroes could not endure it, but Lee Se-hun endured it just by twisting his eyes slightly.

‘It’s because I’m young… … My body is very healthy… … .’

Before the return, it was a dying body, so I was supported with a lighter, but now it seemed like I was supporting my whole body with hot iron.

In the midst of that pain, Sehun Lee recognized the essence of the red flame that randomly penetrates the inside of his body, and began to guide him on a specific path.

‘You guys are this way.’

In the future, no matter what type of magic power is used, a new magic circuit is built in the body for only the red flame.

A single path through the whole body. As soon as he drew a drawing in his head, he immediately settled down as if Hong Yeom understood it.

Whoa!

A red flame that runs happily through the magic circuit assigned to him.

At this rate, it ran randomly and eventually volatilized, so Sehun Lee slowly calmed his mind and created an imaginary hammer.

And the moment he hit it with all his might.

Kaan-!

Lee Se-hoon’s body shook with the sound of iron ringing in his ears.

“Cool!”

A dry cough bursting out with a flashing pain.

Sehun Lee looked down at his body with a disturbed breath in the dizzying sensation as if his whole body had been crushed by a hammer.

‘done.’

The magic circuit and the essence of red flames newly established inside the body.

After confirming that his body had been ‘forged’, Sehun Lee immediately drained the magic stored in the rosary ring into his body.

‘Blast.’

Whoa!

The magical energy that erupted from the rosary ring cooled the body heated by the red flame and penetrated into the parched body.

A refreshing feeling that makes you forget the heat you just felt. Sehun Lee exhaled the breath he had been holding back for so long.

“Whew… … .”

Breath that spreads like steam.

After confirming that all processes were complete, Sehun Lee naturally looked around. The outside had already turned dark after hours had passed.

The moment when Sehun Lee smiled as he watched the night view of Babel from the window.

[You have acquired the skill ‘Spiritual Reincarnation Magic (S)’.]

[All stats are greatly increased by the effect of the skill ‘Spirit Stretching Magic’.]

[Attribute magic ‘Red Flame (F)’. It has been enhanced with Crimson (E+).]

A notification pops up in front of your eyes.

Lee Se-hun immediately checked how much his body had changed in response to the raucous contents.

[Lee Sehun]

Strength – D(105) Durability – D(100)

Magic Power – D(119) Agility – E(87)

[Young Yeonshin Magic] 『S』

The body is the most basic material that a blacksmith can polish.

As the body’s magic circuit is smelted, the physical ability increases and the power contained within it is strengthened.

*Magic Circuit [Hongryeon]: The control over the flame is strengthened and a ‘flow’ can be created.

[Hongryeon] 『E+』

Fire attribute magic reminiscent of a crimson flame.

It has a special property to melt metal into a liquid, and it can give ‘flow’ to the flame it comes in contact with.

“Five… … .”

Before the return, there was no difference after learning because it was already established, but this time the increase in stats was huge.

Of course, because the existing stats were so poor, it would have risen so dramatically, but it was not a bad result anyway.

‘It’s still below the freshman average, but… … What’s important is efficiency.’

Not only the stats have risen, but the efficiency of mana handling has also increased, so in reality it should be viewed as 1.5 times the stat window.

With the state of his body that had grown up at once, Sehun Lee naturally remembered the first time he learned this spirituality magic.

‘I have the material, but I don’t even think about dealing with it and give up. I’m not stupid, so should I?’

An undisputed genius who casually tried what others said was an act of suicide, and succeeded in doing it.

And a monster with a deep soul that made a kneading sound by randomly shoving it into an ordinary self.

Lee Se-hoon, who had a glimpse of the teacher who was always full of confidence, clenched his fists.

‘okay. I should use everything I can use.’

There is no reason to decide whether it is a future ally or an enemy.

This time, in order not to leave any regrets, Lee Se-hoon made his own body again, making up his mind like that.
