Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 332

Magic Learned in Vain – 333

# 333

The Metamorphosis of a Man is Innocent (1)

“Hey. Hey.”

Someone shook Dreizger awake. Normally, Dreizger would have noticed someone entering the prison cell long before they reached him. But Dreizger was completely oblivious.

He had really slept soundly.

He truly had an audacious personality.

He wasn’t even using his automatically activated magic defense. If his enemies had used a potent poison, even Dreizger would have been vulnerable.

His physical abilities were that diminished.

Those who are timid might quickly lose heart. Not being able to use one’s power brings a great deal of fear.

But Dreizger didn’t have that.

Primal strength.

He was strong from birth.

He constantly made efforts and, when he reached his limit—

Meeting a man named Legion shattered his limits. And his latent superhuman abilities endlessly stretched towards the boundless sky.

No one knows how strong Dreizger will become.

Except for Jushin.

But Jushin is stressed out by believers who don’t receive oracles and is taking a break due to gastritis.

Even Jushin is in that state, so now no one knows Dreizger’s limits.

“Haaahm.”

Dreizger woke up with a long yawn.

The man who saw Dreizger’s face head-on almost fainted.

This is Alcatraz Prison, notorious as the most brutal in the kingdom. All sorts of heinous criminals are gathered here.

There were many who could kill people with their looks.

There was actually a guy called the ‘Face Murderer.’ He was a bizarre fellow who killed people just with his expression.

However…….

This man is even more terrifying.

Why does he braid his hair in pigtails? Is it to look cute? No, it’s scarier because it doesn’t match his face.

Ssssh-

Dreizger smiled.

*Don’t smile, you bastard. I’m going to have a heart attack.*

The man felt his whole body trembling without realizing it.

*This man is the same type as that man.*

Like a huge lion. But that man is also a beast. That man is a tiger.

The same kingdom’s Seven Great Warriors.

It’s clear that he’s not someone to be taken lightly. But this Alcatraz is that man’s playground.

No matter how strong you are, you can’t beat that man in his playground.

That man.

The strongest martial artist in history, Mamma Yujiro!

“Why did you wake me when I was sleeping so well?”

“Weren’t you waiting for this?”

Half-honorifics came out without him realizing it.

“Hmm. Well. It seems all eyes are on me.”

“Word about who you are has already spread. Rumor has it……”

“Rumor has it what?”

“That you’re an incredibly handsome man.”

“I am handsome.”

Dreizger smiled broadly.

His gold teeth are even more prominent. A rat hiding on the floor saw Dreizger’s smiling face and ran into its hole.

It blocked the hole and shouted to its children.

“Don’t go out of the hole until that man leaves. The world is hell.”

The man recalled the portrait of Dreizger he had seen before.

*I don’t know what crazy bastard painted that portrait. It’s amazing how it doesn’t resemble the real Dreizger at all.*

“Follow me.”

“Why should I?”

“To achieve your goal.”

“What’s my goal?”

“To get out of here alive.”

“To get out of here alive?”

“That’s right.”

“Heh heh heh. Who could possibly guess the answer so accurately?”

“O-Of course! This place is sealed with magic stones. Even a Grand Master can’t use their full power.”

“Hmm.”

Well, that’s true.

Nearly 90% of his magic as a Grand Master was sealed. But he didn’t care. He could break these sealing stones as much as he wanted if he put his mind to it.

But he liked this situation itself more.

Competing with pure fighting spirit, skill, and stamina without using magic?

He hadn’t done that since he first learned martial arts from his master.

Except for his eldest brother, no one had ever been his match.

Magic just swelled up like a fattening pig, and he could grasp the opponent’s skills with just one look.

He had rarely seen a warrior who could withstand 10 moves against him.

Thinking about it like this, life before meeting his master wasn’t very interesting.

Then…….

Well, whoever the opponent is, I have to give them this much of a handicap.

“Very interesting. Heh heh heh.”

Dreizger stood up, releasing his fighting spirit. The man trembled as if he had been electrocuted by his fighting spirit.

“Cap.”

“……”

Instantly, the man froze. *What did I just hear?*

“Cap?”

“Yeah, cap. Don’t you know it?”

*That word that was popular 200 years ago?*

The song ‘You Were Cap’ sung by the legendary bard Jinu?

He’s not talking about the cap you wear on your head, is he?

The man felt severe confusion about Dreizger.

Alcatraz Central Square.

It’s a square, but aside from the morning assembly, it’s not really used much. That’s what’s known on the outside…….

In fact, another use appears at night.

A battleground for countless men, like beasts, trying to reach the top with only their fists!

The warden and guards all know this fact.

But no one stops it. In the early days, this caused big problems a few times, but after a major riot, the situation changed to simply acknowledging and moving on.

No, these days, they’re almost encouraging it.

The warden thought it was the best way to make money and, above all, to subdue the energetic criminals.

So, this is the result.

In the vast square, easily 100 meters wide, Dreizger stood alone.

Hundreds of prisoners surrounding him, filling the area, stared at him.

*Ho! Truly Alcatraz-like.*

Each one exudes the energy of a beast. Seeing their presence, there don’t seem to be any weaklings.

Above all, they’re not intimidated by Dreizger’s reputation.

They watched Dreizger in the darkness, their eyes shining like wolves. It felt like they would pounce and tear him apart if he fell.

“What do you think?”

Mizsett, looking down at Dreizger from the terrace on the 20th floor, asked Mibaek.

“Dreizger-nim is at a disadvantage.”

“At a disadvantage?”

“Yes.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Dreizger-nim is the strongest warrior. I know that well. I’ve never seen a man as strong as Dreizger-nim. But Mamma Yujiro is not to be trifled with either. He’s also a monster. Moreover, this is Mamma Yujiro’s hideout. Magic is also sealed. Even if Dreizger-nim has higher overall stats, wouldn’t Yujiro be stronger here?”

“I agree.”

Mizsett also nodded.

“Then what should we do now?”

“We need to get what we want. Now is the chance, since Dreizger-nim has stepped up.”

“We have to, right?”

Mizsett waddled down the stairs, moving her fat body. Slightly crazy Haimo and his colleagues followed behind her.

Mibaek saw them for the first time here.

Compared to being slightly crazy, their skills are quite useful.

Mizsett has great charisma. I understand why she’s called the Godmother. She was shocked that they were originally Legion’s subordinates.

Legion…….

“Just what kind of man are you……”

* * *

Both of Apple Motors’ carriages were destroyed.

They were wrecked so badly it was pathetic. Shuttle, that crazy bastard, if he can’t drive, he should just stay in the back, but he made a fuss about catching up no matter what, and destroyed everything.

It usually takes a month to make one carriage.

But they repaired the carriages in just one day. You don’t think they can? They’ll do it when they’re forced to. If they mess up, 10,000 gold will be lost, so what can’t they do?

And Shuttle blew away the barely repaired carriage too.

Steve Jukso and the supporters foamed at the mouth and grabbed Shuttle. They had to almost completely rebuild the carriage again.

There are only two games left now.

They must pass the Grand Prix preliminaries.

Only then will they be qualified to enter the Grand Prix finals.

Even if they come in last, they can receive a prize of more than 5,000 gold.

What about first place?

They’ll make an eye-popping amount of money. Motors will hit the jackpot, and investors will line up.

It’s a reversal of fortune in one shot.

That’s not all.

The money at stake in the Grand Prix is millions of gold.

If they win first place, they’ll take 5% of that profit. It’s truly an enormous amount of money.

Shuttle kept his head down and watched Legion’s reaction.

Legion was spacing out. Shuttle ruined three Grand Prix races. The money lost is considerable.

At first, it was 10 gold. Next, it was 100 gold. The next time, he invested 1,000 gold and lost it.

Later, he even got involved in other games and lost thousands of gold.

Even so, it was hard to understand why Legion, who was an incredibly rich man, was acting like this.

It was just a drop in the bucket compared to the money he had.

“I just don’t understand.”

Legion said with a deep sigh.

“What is it?”

Steve Jukso carefully asked, watching Legion’s reaction.

“What should I say? There’s a strange sense of unease. That carriage that came in second this time. What was its name?”

“All Head Ghost.”

“I don’t like the name from the start. It feels like it’s going to cause a real accident.”

“Actually, it’s not a very skilled motors. At best, it’s in the 7th to 8th place range.”

“Is there something more than skill?”

“Something more than skill… There have been rumors for a while that there’s an organization that controls the games from behind. But the reality hasn’t been confirmed. I have suspicions, but no evidence. But even knowing that, many carriage manufacturers rush here because there’s no better competition than the Grand Prix to attract investors.”

“Which organization is suspected?”

“It seems to be… the Samcheong Education Corps, which is the largest organization in Las Vegas.”

“Samcheong Education Corps……”

*That’s the organization that kidnapped and tried to kill Mibaek.*

I remember they were quite large and cruel guys. They’re also guys who leave a lingering feeling.

“Those guys made me lose money.”

“……”

Steve Jukso tilted his head.

Even if it wasn’t All Head Ghost, Legion would have lost money. It doesn’t seem like there’s any reason to be angry at them…….

Even if he had a million gold in his possession, Steve Jukso thought he could never win money.

It was then.

“Excuse me.”

Someone knocked on the store door. It was a child between 6 and 8 years old. He looked like a child who was living on the streets nearby. He was dirty and shabby because he hadn’t washed for a long time.

“What’s wrong?”

Steve Jukso approached the child.

“This.”

The child handed over a piece of paper. It was a letter.

“What is this?”

“Some man told me to give this to you.”

“To whom?”

The child pointed to Legion. And then he closed the door of the shopping district very quietly and left.

Steve Jukso looked back and forth between the child who disappeared with the letter and Legion.

*Something’s up.*

*There’s definitely something up.*

He approached Legion and handed him the letter.

Legion, who received the letter, looked left and right. Nothing was written on it. There was no sender either.

*Who the hell is it?*

*Who recognized me? Is the Duke watching me?*

Legion glanced around. He didn’t feel anything. He quickly cast a scan magic, but there was nothing particularly wrong.

*What is it?*

*This feeling of unease…*

Legion took out the letter and read it.

-This letter first started near the border. It must leave your hands within four days. You must pass this letter on to seven people who need luck. It is by no means superstition. If you don’t believe it, you will be cursed.

Blah blah blah…….

Crunch.

Legion clenched his teeth and grabbed the letter.

Annoying…….
