Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 251
# 251
Hero Raiden (1)
Mizsett’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Wizards are smart. A wizard who isn’t smart is unique, like Legion.
However, being smart and being quick-witted are two different things.
So, I wish it were different now, but unfortunately, Mizsett was quite quick-witted.
She had noticed the change in the men’s eyes for some time.
‘Why is she eating like that?’
‘Has she given up on her appearance?’
‘It’s a shame.’
‘We won’t be able to see Mizsett’s pretty face again.’
‘No. She said she’s starting her diet again.’
‘Diet my ass! She said that a few days ago and then ate as much meat as Sepia.’
Mizsett couldn’t have missed their whispers.
Nevertheless, the reason she’s gaining weight…!
It was because of the tree of crystals that bloomed beautifully behind President Le’s mansion one day.
Although the tree died after being struck by lightning, two crystals fell into her hands.
Some lucky people also got their hands on the crystals.
Mizsett didn’t tell anyone and returned to her lodgings with the two crystals in her arms.
Then, with a reverent body and mind, she began to break down the crystals.
Mizsett poured both crystals in at once.
-Legion’s grace and the Earth Goddess’s energy have met. The combined energy is being broken down.
Oh, oh, oh!
I don’t know what it is, but it looks really good.
-Two crystals have been dismantled.
Here we go.
-You have acquired the ‘Beauty Explosion’ passive skill. You will gain 200 percent output of magic power.
Oh, oh, oh!
Very good.
200 percent!
If you’re a 5th Circle mage, you’ll have magic power equivalent to a 6th Circle mage.
With this skill, you won’t run out of magic power during battle and be unable to use magic. The power of the same magic also increases.
-However, a lot of magic power requires that many calories to be consumed. This skill can only be used on days when the cumulative calories for the previous day, the day before that, and the day before that exceed 20,000.
How much? 20,000?
Crazy…….
-If the cumulative calories for the past three days do not reach 20,000, the ‘Beauty Explosion’ passive skill will not be used.
헐! What kind of skill is this! [헐 (Heol) is a Korean expression of disbelief or shock, similar to “What the heck!”]
I’m screwed.
I’m completely screwed.
She stood at a crossroads of choices.
Magic power or beauty.
After much deliberation, Mizsett chose the path of a wizard. ‘If you give up romance and marriage, you can see the path to the 8th Circle. I can’t give that up now.’
It’s time to devote as much effort as possible to magical training.
So, she was eating hard.
Eating and eating, eating again, waking up from sleep and eating…….
Thanks to that, she now weighs 80 kilograms [approximately 176 pounds].
At the same time, her magic power has grown infinitely, and now she possesses the strongest magic power in her class.
Although she is a 5th Circle master.
Although she cannot use 6th Circle magic in the current situation.
The strength of her magic was already surpassing the 6th Circle level. No wizard of the same rank can beat her!
“Ah, I can’t. I’m too quick-witted.”
Bacon was a little embarrassed.
‘Even if you’re slow-witted, if you can’t understand that much, you’re just stupid, you bitch.’
Fortunately, this time the words didn’t come out of his mouth.
He just said it with his eyes.
But she really seems to be quick-witted. Mizsett was reading all his thoughts.
“Enough. Let’s fight.”
“Yes? What I said… I didn’t mean it. Just kidding. Anyway, I’m sorry.”
Bacon scratched the back of his head and said.
“Just fight. If Bacon wins, you can call me a pig for the rest of my life. But if Bacon loses, apologize publicly.”
“Public apology?”
“Yes, apologize to me in front of all the territory residents. Say you’ll never do appearance shaming again. That’s sexual violence. Should I do a ME TOO on you?”
Bacon’s face turned pale.
He was wrong. He admits that. So, he’s willing to apologize enough. He’ll apologize as many times as it takes.
But isn’t it too much to apologize in front of all the territory residents?
And ME TOO!
How chaotic is the kingdom these days because of that!
“Why? Don’t you want to?”
“As you know, I’m not weak.”
“I don’t think you know… I’m the same.”
Kukukuku!
Mizsett’s magic power amplified.
The density of her magic power was so high that it fiercely swirled around her and soared to the ceiling.
Crack!
The ceiling shattered, scattering debris everywhere.
Magic power and flames mix. A fire dragon at least 10 meters [approximately 33 feet] in size was staring at Bacon.
Bacon was sincerely impressed.
He erased the thought that his opponent was a woman from his mind. Such intense fighting spirit. His fighting spirit was also boiling.
It’s been a long time since I felt like this.
Bacon drew his sword. Mana Blade and 5th Circle fire magic mixed.
A unique magic system is activated.
Looking at Bacon like that, Mizsett twisted her lips.
“Yes! I wanted to fight you. You’ll be able to gauge my skills.”
Bacon and Mizsett clashed.
Kukukukuku!
A huge explosion occurred-
Large fragments fell wildly on the heads of Haimo and his colleagues, who had just woken up after 3 minutes of thawing.
“Finally, we’re back!
They tasted an enormous sense of liberation from all the poison-
쾅! 쾅! 쾅! 쾅! 쾅! [Sound of impact]
They were hit by falling stones and slumped down.
They lost their memories.

As time went by, the Shuttle felt like it was getting more and more manic-depressive.
The missing Durahan keeps coming to mind.
So, it suddenly cried, and sometimes it laughed.
No matter what…….
Dreiser didn’t care because it wasn’t his job, and Natalie was so sorry for the injured Legion that she didn’t pay any attention to him.
Only Legion cares about the Shuttle.
That’s because there was no one else to attend to him.
Natalie told him to give her any work, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask her to wipe his butt.
That is a matter of purity.
He didn’t want to show his butt to her, who was ugly even after dying and waking up.
So, he had to get the Shuttle back to normal as soon as possible.
Legion gestured and called the Shuttle, who was talking to himself.
The Shuttle suddenly came to his senses and approached Legion with a grin.
He was putting poison in his arms.
It was spider venom. It’s a deadly poison, but it doesn’t kill easily. He will suffer for at least 7 days while pooping blood before he dies.
Legion will suffer while pooping blood.
Hehehe.
But I have to pretend to be in pain.
Legion, who had no idea, asked the Shuttle.
“You seem to be having a hard time mentally.”
“No. I’m fine.”
“No. I’ve seen a lot of people like you. Judging by the way you look, you were probably an outcast.”
“…….”
That’s right.
He’s right that I was an outcast, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone say that to my face.
“You must have been abandoned by your family. You must have shed tears at your own cowardice for not being able to die even if you wanted to. You must have thought about suicide several times while watching the falling raindrops in a moldy, rented basement room.”
Shit, that’s right.
That’s right, but… do you have to reveal it so blatantly to my face?
Natalie handed the Shuttle jerky as if she felt sorry for him.
“Eat it and cheer up.”
Dreiser was the same. He puts his hand on the Shuttle’s shoulder.
‘Don’t! Don’t do that! That makes me even more angry!’
“So, I’m going to give you a chance to turn your life around.”
“A chance to turn my life around?”
“Yes, you look good enough….”
‘Do I look good? This is crazy…….’
“You’re short and your back is a little bent. That… can be completely cured with systemic plastic surgery magic.”
“You can make me taller and straighten my bent back?”
“That’s right.”
“That doesn’t make sense. It’s a body given by God. Forced transformation is impossible.”
“Why would I lie?”
Legion looked at Natalie.
Natalie nodded.
“It’s true. My father is a master of plastic surgery magic.”
The Shuttle was dumbfounded.
He had been researching black magic all his life, but this was the first time he had heard that he could change his entire body with plastic surgery. If there was such magic, necromancers would have disappeared as a profession.
Everyone would be handsome, so there would be no need to harbor resentment and dig into underground dungeons.
“Oh, is that so.”
The Shuttle answered casually.
“It may be difficult now, but overcome it. If you overcome it, I will soon have systemic plastic surgery.”
“Yes, I would appreciate that.”
He answered casually again.
The Shuttle thought that such magic did not exist.
“And you know what? My stomach hurts a little. I think I ate something wrong.”
Legion said apologetically.
The Shuttle’s face contorted.
‘Have you ever had watery poop on your hands? Have you ever wiped watery poop off your hands with tree bark because there was no water around?’
‘I have.’
‘Shit. Legion, you son of a bitch!’
The Shuttle vowed once again that he would never let Legion live.

It was night.
The weather was very gloomy today.
It was drizzling, and the fog was so thick that you couldn’t see far.
Still, this is Poman, the capital of the kingdom.
A place where 1 million citizens of the kingdom reside. A place where the fire never goes out 24 hours a day.
A giant wall over 50 meters [approximately 164 feet] high defended Poman as if completely surrounding it. Above, triple magic created over a long period of time was spread out, and well-trained soldiers did not delay their 24-hour guard duty on the wall.
Only 5 kilometers [approximately 3.1 miles] away from Poman is the Capital Defense Command. The Capital Defense Command commanded as many as 11 different tactical armies, including heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, and light infantry, to protect the capital.
There was a reason why people said that even if the kingdom collapsed, the capital Poman would survive.
It can be said that 30 percent of the troops defending the entire country are concentrated here.
Squeak-
Squeak-
A baggage cart appeared through the fog.
It was a baggage cart pulled by ghost horses that were rarely seen. Ghost horses are not common horses. There are only a handful of people on the continent who see ghost horses from birth to death.
Of course, there are occasionally mages with bad tastes who summon and ride these ghost horses, but few people ride them in this weather.
It’s a good way to get labeled as a bad guy.
The guards guarding the capital’s gates were horrified by the ghost horse that appeared so late and in such thick fog.
“Should we ring the bell?”
It’s a bell that hasn’t rung in the past ten years. When this bell rings, the Capital Defense Command moves in an instant.
“Wait a minute.”
Another guard stopped him.
The ghost horse pulling the baggage cart was approaching in slow motion. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking.
He stopped the baggage cart.
Dreiser stood and looked at the guards.
“Heok.”
The guard peed a little without realizing it.
Without a doubt-
This was the first time he had seen such a fierce-looking human being. Still, he was well-trained, so he didn’t run away.
This is the capital Poman.
If you abandon your work and run away, your three generations will be ruined.
“Where are you from?”
The guards asked quietly while looking at Dreiser.
“There’s a sick person.”
Dreiser pointed to the baggage cart. Legion, wearing armor, was lying down as if dead.
Legion’s body swayed at the sight of the guards.
Even though Legion was lying down as if dead because his back hurt, the authority of the Dark Lord had not disappeared. It was almost impossible for soldiers who had not learned mana to withstand his authority.
They want to kneel without realizing it.
However, with superhuman patience, the guards overcame their will to kneel.
“The gates are closed now, so you can’t enter.”
“Really?”
“Really. The bell rings at 6 a.m. You can go in then.”
“Really?”
“Look at the other merchants who are camping out there. They will also be allowed to enter at 6 a.m.”
“Really?”
“…….”
Dreiser grinned, showing his gold teeth. ‘Really? Do we have to stand here and wait until 6 a.m.?’
The guards smiled brightly.
“Of course not. Hehehe… Poman’s gates are always wide open.”
The gates opened.
