I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 80

Episode 80 Understanding Magical Operations (2)

Odin, the supreme god of Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard.

He was a being who constantly thirsted for knowledge.

It is said that he devoted one eye to the spring of Mimir to seek knowledge of the other world, and was pierced by Gungnir and hung upside down in Yggdrasil for nine days to learn the knowledge and runes of the underworld.

Rune words literally manifest magic. A language system that intervenes in arithmetic expressions.

Odin sacrificed himself to find out all this.

‘What a poisonous nobleman. It’s embarrassing that I’m the one who should be killed.’

Jaehyun was spinning his pen while thinking such a stupid thought.

Free time now.

The other cadets were infusing magic into Jaehyun’s eyes to read the rune words he saw.

Of course, Jaehyun was well aware that he could not see or interpret the rune language that way.

Just by concentrating your eyesight, if possible, you should be able to see the non-fighting radar as well.

But magic is not that simple.

Just because you can memorize the multiplication table doesn’t mean you understand all the concepts of numbers.

It’s just pulling out learned memories and using them as needed.

It’s completely different from holding rune words.

‘Of course I didn’t know from the beginning. It’s all tempting.’

Even so, Jaehyun’s mood wasn’t bad at all.

It felt like my eyes were opened to something new.

Reading rune words and practicing basic magic.

I didn’t think it would be particularly helpful, but I discovered a new possibility.

“Have any other students succeeded in reading rune words?”

No one answered Instructor Jeong Yi-soo’s question.

also. For those who are still new cadets, this is too difficult a task.

Humans focus too much on what they see and what they don’t see.

In other words, they are vulnerable to things that can only be seen by relying on other senses.

“This week’s assignment. During this time, a week from now, you will succeed in reading the letters on the cover and the first page of this sorcerer’s book.”

The instructor did not forget to add that points were at stake this time as well.

Jaehyun fixed his eyes on the future for a while and pondered briefly.

Instructor Jeong Yi-soo.

Although she is a very capable person, Jaehyun was suspicious of her.

‘I don’t know how many factions Gujain has in Milles Academy, but... Anyway, it’s practically impossible to kill all of the students alone.’

And if there was an enemy to be fought against someday, it was necessary to know the size and power of the enemy in advance.

A losing battle should never be fought.

‘You don’t know when an accident similar to the mock dungeon will happen again. You have to be careful.’

Even though I’ve gotten pretty strong, I can’t relax.

The situation has changed.

The future has changed and Jain Koo will attack Jaehyun more aggressively.

Jaehyun watched Instructor Jeong Isu’s back as he left the classroom for a while, then stood up.

A few days after that.

Jaehyun went through all the sorcery books and studied about arithmetic formulas.

The books written in arithmetic formulas, or runes, were all full of interesting things.

It was already possible to use all the basic magic of 1 star, but once I started to realize the concept of the arithmetic formula, I was able to advance to the next level more quickly.

For example, 《Mana Chain》.

This magic is basically a magic used to bind the opponent, but its nature changes depending on how the attribute is given.

The magic that Jaehyun is currently using, 《Chain of Lightning》, is also derived from this.

The combination of Lightning attribute magic and 《Mana Chain》 is the 《Chain of Lightning》.

Like this, no matter how low the level of magic was, depending on how it was placed and combined, its uses were endless.

It was as if the basic swordsmanship skill would change to an intermediate swordsmanship when the proficiency rose.

As for magic, the more I understood the basic concept of the rune formula, the faster I could advance to a higher level.

“...Still, somehow all three of them managed to read the cover. congratulations.”

In fact, Lee Jae-shin also has three more sons besides Lee Jae-sang, so he must be busy taking care of them.

“How about sales revenue? Do you think it’s okay?”

“I heard that about 44 million won came out......”

“Oh! Total sales of 4,000 is really jackpot! Then the net profit is already.......”

“No. That’s not it... The net profit is 440 million won.”

thud. My heart sinks.

It seemed that he had looked down on Yeonhwa Guild’s publicity and capital.

what? 40 million won?

The net profit of the potion shop that has not yet been properly word-of-mouth?

* * *

A week later, 《Understanding Magical Operations I》 class came back.

Instructor Jeong Yi-soo told the person who could read the cover of the magic book to raise their hand.

I checked and there were about 10 of them.

‘It’s not as bad as I thought. After all, it’s a prestigious academy.’

Jaehyun thought so and looked at the magic book in his hand.

He had already read all the way through to the end and memorized the contents.

《The Lost Eye of Odin》 also boasted phenomenal performance.

It wasn’t enough to let even magic instructors read rune words that were difficult to read without hesitation, and even gave the user an EX-level skill called 《Absolute Calculation》.

“One two three... that’s good. If all 12 are done, that’s not a bad achievement.”

Instructor Jeong Yi-soo next asked if anyone could read the first page of the book of magic.

This time, only two people raised their hands.

Jaehyun Min and Eana Seo.

Are you following the aptitude? The two people who clashed in the mana room raised their hands.

“Excellent. These two are achieving remarkable growth among them.”

Saying that, Instructor Jeong Yi-soo clapped briefly.

The cadets started clapping after her.

Among the dogs, there were more eyes to see them, but there was nothing special.

Originally, envy and jealousy are emotions that exist everywhere.

“Then I will ask these two.”

Instructor Jeong Yi-soo stepped off the podium as if he had something important to say.

“Seo or cadet. What was the phrase on the first page of this book?”

“...yes. It said, ‘Runes are the language of magic.’”

“you’re right. You interpreted it very accurately.”

In response to Seo Eana’s clear answer, Instructor Jeong Yi-soo smiled lightly.

‘As I’ve heard, Seo Eana is also an outstanding cadet. If I grow it well, I can grow it to an all-time high.’

Jeong Yi-soo changed the question and subject and spoke again.

“Then let me ask you something else this time.”

In the eyes of Instructor Jeong Yi-soo, Lee Chae was young. Her eyes turned to Jaehyun.

“Cadet Min Jae-hyeon. Can you interpret what this sentence means?”

In an unexpected situation, a question came back to Jaehyun.

I didn’t think there would be no questions, but it was pretty sudden.

However, Jaehyun did not panic and calmly organized his thoughts.

‘Let’s think about it. Obviously the phrase written on the first page is.’

[Rune. It’s a magical language.]

Jaehyun pondered for a while as he repeated the phrase on the tip of his tongue.

A short silence flows. Soon, his lips slowly began to purr.

“Rune. It’s a magic language. The meaning of this sentence is that the rune language is a frame that composes magic and is the basis of magic as a device that acts on arithmetic expressions.”

“great. So what can rune words be defined as in magic?”

After arranging his thoughts for a while, Jaehyun added again.

“At first, the professor said. Magic is a phenomenon. It is the rune word that brings about that phenomenon. In other words, the rune language exists as a starting device.”

His unstoppable words overwhelmed the audience.

Jaehyun smiled lightly. Instructor Jeong Yi-soo’s face was also slowly smiling.
