Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 333

# 334

A Man’s Transformation is Innocent 2

Legion crumpled the betting ticket in his hand.

The fourth race had ended, and frustration surged to the top of his head. He had clearly seen it: two other carriages blocking Shuttle’s carriage.

Defense and offense were clearly permitted during the race, but…

Blatantly rigging the game like that couldn’t be right.

‘Are these bastards manipulating the game?’

Legion trembled with anger.

Thanks to that, Shuttle, who was trying to move up to 2nd place, fell to 5th, leaving only the repechage [a second chance race for those who didn’t initially qualify].

“I’m sorry.”

Shuttle, getting out of the carriage, said gloomily. He had bet 2,000 gold this time, so he was likely distraught. But surprisingly, Legion seemed indifferent.

Last time, he had made a fuss about pulling out all his hair.

Why?

He felt even more uneasy.

Shuttle rolled his eyes up and down, looking at Legion.

The boss sat on the chair, tapping his legs. He was deep in thought.

His lips were smiling, but his eyes were eerie.

No matter who he’s thinking about…

Let’s pray for their soul.

Amen.

“It’s okay.”

Legion waved his hand, looking at Shuttle with a terrifying gaze.

*Oh, don’t look at me like that while saying it’s okay.*

“I’m sorry.”

*I have to beg unconditionally.*

“I said it’s okay. This race isn’t your fault. Right, Steve?”

“Yes, not only us but others must have felt it too. It’s a problem that many people have consistently raised. The race is rigged! Look at this.”

Steve Jobson unfolded a video taken above the stadium.

Two carriages were blocking Shuttle’s carriage, which was moving up. Shuttle slightly slowed down and tried to move to the side.

It was a display of admirable skill.

It wasn’t easy to learn this level of skill in such a short time. Shuttle had quite a talent for controlling carriages. However, the carriages that had blocked the front pushed Shuttle to the side again.

Up to this point, it’s ambiguous.

It’s natural for the carriage running in front to block the opponent chasing from behind. No racer in their right mind would say, ‘Go ahead, I’ve paved the road well for you.’

Nevertheless, the two carriages stubbornly blocked the carriages following from behind.

As if trying to protect the first and second carriages. They didn’t seem to have any intention of getting into 1st or 2nd place themselves.

Decisive evidence was caught.

The riders who didn’t get into 1st or 2nd place were smiling and shaking hands with the riders who passed in 1st and 2nd place.

It was quite different from the 모습 [Korean: appearance/demeanor] of the riders who were eliminated from the Grand Prix preliminaries and kneeling in frustration.

“It’s suspicious.”

“I’m going to investigate them.”

“How?”

“I’ll have to ask the Information Guild.”

“That’s not a good idea.”

“Yes?”

“I said it’s not a good idea.”

Steve Jobson tilted his head. *Isn’t it best to catch evidence and inform the media? Then the security forces will start an investigation, and the organizations that rigged the game will be rounded up.*

“They’re probably all in cahoots.”

“In cahoots?”

“Yeah.”

Legion recalled Gibbs and Emon, who could be said to be his subordinates. To others, they were the Information Guild, but they were nothing more than private organizations.

Legion provides Gibbs with enormous funds.

In return, Gibbs sorts out the information coming in from all over the territory and brings it to Legion.

The same goes for Emon.

If Emon hadn’t brought information about ‘Lilac,’ he would have suffered considerable damage. Also, Emon gave Lilac false information. Thanks to that, she had no choice but to have quite wrong information about Legion.

It’s the same here.

It’s not an average aristocrat.

It’s the territory of a duke with ambitions to swallow the kingdom. It means it’s the territory of a person who holds half of the kingdom in his hands.

Would he leave the Information Guild, which is active in his territory, alone? No way. The most efficient device for maliciously controlling the territory’s people is information manipulation.

If the duke is involved in the game, you shouldn’t go to the Information Guild. No one is paying attention to us now, but the moment we go and make a request, we’ll be digging our own grave.

“Then what should we do?”

Steve Jobson asked with anxious eyes.

“This is Las Vegas.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s a good place to win back as much as you lost.”

“…….”

*That’s not true. The overwhelming number of people lose more money than they lost. Only a very small number of people make a fortune here.*

At best, one in ten thousand?

Nevertheless, gamblers firmly believe that they will be one of those ten thousand.

“Fair and square.”

“Fair and square?”

“Yeah, let’s have a big match fair and square.”

Legion got up from his seat. Then he took off his helmet. It was the first time he revealed his face. Except for Shuttle, no one here had seen his face.

As he took off his helmet-

-Destiny!

Everyone, including Steve Jobson, stared at Legion with blank faces.

Judging from President Le’s 멋진 [Korean: cool/stylish] body, they thought his face would be ugly.

They thought he had desperately made his body 멋진 because of his hideous face.

No.

The appearance of their investor, President Le, was a gift from God. Even from a distance, 광채 [Korean: radiance/glow] shone brightly.

Even men were 넋이 나가 [Korean:넋이 나가 means to be so shocked or stunned that one’s soul leaves the body].

What if a woman saw him?

They would become like that.

Dodo-hae, one of the supporters, collapsed. Hearts were burning fiercely in her eyes. It was as if she would attack President Le right away.

No!

I can’t let that happen.

Steve Jobson covered Dodo-hae’s eyes.

“Don’t look. He’s the president with the appearance of the Demon World. I know why he wears a helmet.”

Only then did Dodo-hae nod.

Her heart, which had been racing madly, calmed down when she couldn’t see President Le in front of her.

*Now I know why President Le wears a helmet.*

He wears a helmet to hide that overwhelming appearance.

A face given by God that you can never forget once you see it.

The 효능 [Korean: efficacy/effect] of ‘Explosion of 간지 [Konglish slang: style/swag],’ one of Legion’s strongest passive skills, was being 무궁무진하게 발휘 [Korean: 무궁무진하게 발휘 means to be displayed/exhibited limitlessly].

In the past, it was a slightly handsome passive skill.

However, as the magic power increased, the 효능 of ‘Explosion of 간지’ also increased.

It is evolving from slightly handsome – handsome – very handsome – insanely handsome – 경국지색 [Korean: 경국지색 means a beauty that can ruin a nation] – as handsome as the gods of 천계 [Korean: the heavens/celestial realm].

It’s so handsome that it’s annoying to express.

Legion smiled at them.

“Stop looking. Pay if you want to see more.”

*Ah! I forgot for a moment.*

That he has a 졸라 재수가 없는 [Korean slang: extremely annoying/unlikable] personality.

* * *

Drayger looked around.

It’s been a while since he’s seen people who aren’t 겁을 먹지 [Korean: 겁을 먹지 means to not be frightened/intimidated] while looking at him.

Is it because they have no fear? Or is it because they can’t feel the magic power? Or do they believe in their skills?

Whatever it is, I like it.

Aside from the 영지에 미친 것들 [Korean: those crazy about their territory], they were the most liked among the groups he had met so far.

However, Drayger wasn’t generous enough to laugh and 넘길 [Korean: 넘길 means to overlook/brush off] the eyes that looked down on him.

Step by step.

Someone appeared from the darkness.

The shadow is incredibly 거대 [Korean: huge/gigantic]. Soon, the streetlight shone on him.

“Wow.”

Drayger whistled. It was the first time he had seen a human that big.

Can humans be that big?

He is almost 3 meters tall. Usually, people over 2 meters are slow and 마르다 [Korean: 마르다 means skinny/thin]. So, 열중에 아홉 [Korean idiom: nine out of ten] are only big and 별 볼 일이 없다 [Korean idiom: 별 볼 일이 없다 means to be insignificant/not worth mentioning].

However, sometimes there are those who fully utilize their 육체적인 능력을 [Korean: physical abilities] with muscles.

Such people become powerful warriors.

Like the giant in front of him.

Interestingly, the feeling of 야생 [Korean: wildness] is much stronger than the refined 기운 [Korean: aura/energy].

Fierce eyes and 넘치는 투기 [Korean: overflowing fighting spirit].

It was like looking at a 거대한 불곰 [Korean: huge brown bear] 비친 [Korean: reflected] in the sunset.

“Are you Drayger?”

The man said. His voice is as 걸걸 [Korean: rough/raspy] as his appearance. Perhaps because his 목구멍 [Korean: throat] is thick, his pronunciation is not heard accurately.

“So.”

“I am Fyodor, 5th in Alcatraz.”

“So?”

Drayger narrowed his brows slightly. *Is Yuijiro, the king of Alcatraz, gone and another guy is appearing?*

*Is he sending his subordinates because he’s a king?*

He didn’t feel good.

“You look different from what I’ve heard. I’m a little disappointed…….”

Fyodor tilted his head.

No one here doesn’t know about Drayger. This is especially true for those who make a living eating 칼밥 [Korean slang: eating knife rice, meaning living a dangerous life].

That overwhelming 무력 [Korean: power/force] and presence!

However, this man in front of him only looks a little 괴팍 [Korean: eccentric/odd], but he doesn’t show any special presence.

“So, what’s the reason you came?”

Drayger asked.

“It’s nothing. You may be the 7th strongest in the kingdom, but that’s outside. There are rules here.”

“So?”

“Shall we see your skills?”

Fyodor strode forward.

His appearance was completely revealed. The 근력 [Korean: strength] of his arms and legs surpassed Drayger. One of his 팔뚝 [Korean: forearms] was as thick as an adult man’s 몸통 [Korean: torso].

Just watching him makes you 숨통이 막힌다 [Korean idiom: 숨통이 막힌다 means to be suffocating/breathless].

“Wow! It’s been a while since Fyodor has shown his skills.”

“Tsk tsk, since he can’t use magic power, no matter how Drayger is, he can’t beat Fyodor.”

“Of course. Still, it’s Drayger. Won’t he last 5 minutes?”

“5 minutes is too long. 1 minute. It will be difficult to last even 1 minute.”

The prisoners 수근거렸다 [Korean: 수근거렸다 means to whisper/murmur].

No one thought Drayger would beat Fyodor.

But-

쾅 [Sound effect: Thud/Bang]!

They witnessed an unbelievable sight.

That Fyodor! Fyodor, who boasts 일격필살 [Korean: 일격필살 means one strike kill]’s 무력 [Korean: power/force]!

He was hit just once and flew 10 meters.

Twitching.

Fyodor, whose 이빨이 왕창 나간 [Korean: 이빨이 왕창 나간 means teeth were completely knocked out], was twitching like a 벌레 [Korean: bug/insect] while lying on the floor.

His 의식 [Korean: consciousness] had already disappeared somewhere.

“N, no way!”
