Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 343

Magic is Learned for Nothing – 344

# 344

Opening! The Grand Prix Finals 2

Unlike Steve Jukeson and Dodohae, Legion sat in the stands.

In fact, the best place to watch is where the supporters are. The feeling of speed from the chariots right in front of you was incredible.

The charioteers coming in to change the wheels of their chariots were all exhausted.

To win, it’s not enough for the chariot to simply be high-performing.

The skill of the charioteers controlling the horses must also be excellent.

Experienced gamblers often bet based on the charioteer rather than the chariot.

The ideal scenario is to have a high-performing chariot and a skilled charioteer.

Easy to say, but the most difficult thing to achieve.

Legion, foregoing the opportunity to directly feel that excitement, sat in the stands and watched the race.

Puff puff puff!

Confetti cannons explode.

“Wow!”

The audience erupted in cheers.

Many children were noticeable. There were fathers carrying their children on their shoulders, dancing.

It’s not just people crazy about gambling here. There’s no better place to enjoy as a family. So, quite a few families take vacations and visit this place.

If the port city of CM is the most popular place for newlyweds or young couples, Las Vegas was the most popular place for families.

Legion had no intention of causing a large-scale riot in such a place.

Let’s go smoothly.

Smoothly.

If we clean up neatly and disappear, there will be only one person collapsing in disbelief.

Duke Gong.

The rest are happy!

Legion got up from his seat.

It was time to work.

With tens of millions of gold at stake, he couldn’t waste even a minute or a second.

It was then.

-Hello.

Seven girls came onto the stage. It was an idol group that had been shaking the kingdom lately.

Legion also knew them well through magic videos.

Twinkle.

“Huh?”

Legion is a fan of them.

Although they are not conventionally pretty, they have a certain charm, so to speak. That was very pleasing. The songs are also fantastic.

If there is a chance to meet them, he is thinking of introducing them to a plastic surgery magician for free. Or should I contact the manager separately?

He is a Count, so they wouldn’t dismiss him if he wanted to meet them.

Unless they want to go to jail.

Legion checked the time.

The operation will begin soon.

A conflict arose in his mind.

When will he be able to meet Twinkle again?

There may not be another chance if it’s not now.

Let’s just watch one song and go.

-Fake fake, insincere fake!

Twinkle sings.

“Fake fake, insincere fake!”

Legion sings along to the lyrics.

-Milky white Twinkle!

Men enthusiastically called out to Twinkle from the front of the stage.

“Milky white Twinkle!”

Legion also chanted Twinkle, not wanting to be outdone.

Fortunately, there were no subordinates next to him.

Twinkle dances.

Legion unconsciously follows the movements they dance.

He has entered the world of otaku [a term for people with obsessive interests, particularly in anime and manga].

People who saw a man wearing a helmet and taking off his top, dancing along with Twinkle, were horrified and moved away.

* * *

More than three hundred prisoners stole clothes and moved separately to their designated destinations.

All of them are at a level where they can freely use magic.

They easily used skills such as Stepping on Grass without Sound and Crossing Roofs without Noise, quickly approaching the Grand Prix stadium.

Mamma Yujiro and James followed Dreyza.

Other prisoners couldn’t keep up with Dreyza.

If they were 5-star warriors, their names would have been known outside.

Such people couldn’t keep up with a simple walk and fell behind.

They clicked their tongues as they watched the backs of Dreyza, Mamma Yujiro, and James, who were getting further and further away.

“Huff huff.”

The prisoners stopped for a moment.

It was as if a crow-tit was trying to catch up with a stork, and its legs were about to split.

“What the hell is so fast about them?”

A prisoner with the skills of a 5-star master shook his head.

His nickname outside was ‘Tachyon.’ Everyone knows what Tachyon means, but for those who don’t know, I’ll explain it simply.

It refers to a hypothetical atomic constituent particle that has a speed faster than the speed of light.

In short, it means incredibly fast.

His skills were in the middle to lower ranks among 5-star masters, but his lightness skill was top-notch.

He was unmatched.

Skills such as Stepping on Grass without Sound and Crossing Roofs without Noise were nothing more than child’s play in front of him.

He also mastered the skill of ‘Passing by an Old Man without Waking Him at Night.’

Even he couldn’t keep up with Dreyza, Mamma Yujiro, and James.

The most amazing thing is that they are not running.

They are just walking.

Tachyon and the prisoners gave up. If they chased them, their magic would run out before that.

The heart overloads.

“Let’s just walk. I’m so tired.”

It feels good to give up.

He was pathetic for thinking that his lightness skill was faster than Dreyza.

How can a human’s mind judge the ability of a monster?

It was a stupid thing to do.

They wandered around the market, slowly walking towards the Grand Prix stadium.

It was the same for Mamma Yujiro and James, who were out of breath.

They cannot be compared to the others.

Frankly, if all the prisoners and the two of them fought, who would win?

Naive people might think the prisoners would win.

It would take time, but Mamma Yujiro and James would win by showing overwhelming force.

That’s how great the power of 7-star is.

When you break through the wall of 5-star and become 6-star, your overall stats increase several times.

So, even if you die and come back to life, 5-star cannot beat 6-star.

Occasionally, a 5-star wins against a 6-star due to unusual circumstances.

Such cases are when the 6-star exposes his stomach and says, ‘Stab me,’ or when the 5-star catches the 6-star dying from poison.

That’s how high the difference between one star is.

There are also people who mistakenly think that if several 6-star warriors gather, they can catch a 7-star.

That’s even more impossible.

7-star is a so-called Sword Master.

An expert-level skilled person could not beat a master.

Even if an entire company of 6-star rushed in, it would be impossible to catch a Sword Master.

It’s very obvious, but a 7-star catching an 8-star is no different from saying, ‘If you love me, get me a star. If you can’t, I’ll divorce you.’

It’s a sign to get a divorce.

But people’s hearts are not always like that.

They are masters.

They acknowledge that Dreyza is a great Grand Master. Who doesn’t acknowledge that?

But this is too much.

They can’t even keep up with simply walking.

Is the difference between a Grand Master and a Master this big?

“Why are you struggling?”

Dreyza turned around and asked.

Unlike Mamma Yujiro and James, whose faces were red and panting, James looked like he wanted to lie down on the floor.

“Ah, no.”

Nevertheless, Mamma Yujiro and James barely endured. If it was simply running fast, it wouldn’t be difficult for them either.

But imitating him running as if he was walking with his hands behind his back was impossible for them.

“Keep following me even if it’s hard.”

“Yes, sir.”

“There is an instructor named Sepia who teaches soldiers in our territory (I didn’t say he was an ogre because I thought they wouldn’t believe me). He’s a very strange guy. He’s only about mid-5-star in martial arts, but his overall combat power is 6-star master level. The lord likes him very much. Thanks to that, he is fully armed with items. Even though he is 6-star, he doesn’t get pushed back even if he fights a 7-star. It’s all thanks to being armed with expensive items.”

“W-well?”

“He’s the type of person who handles soldiers very well. There’s no one who has trained under him who isn’t strong. Everyone’s eyes gleam with madness.”

“…….”

Listening to it makes me feel uneasy for some reason.

“I’ve seen quite a lot of the world, but I’ve never seen a force that gets stronger so quickly. It’s almost fraudulent.”

“S-so?”

“I realized it at some point.”

“What?”

“Violence is what makes subordinates strong.”

“V-violence?”

“Yes. To build courage, Sepia throws his subordinates off a 100-meter-high waterfall.”

“T-they die.”

“They just can’t die. They just have to straighten their bodies and fall as they learned. If they struggle unnecessarily, they die. And if they don’t die, they can be healed at the temple.”

“It costs a lot of money to heal someone with broken limbs, right?”

“It would cost a lot in other places, but not in our territory. Under the lord’s welfare policy, all territory residents with medical insurance can use the temple at a low price.”

What is this all about?

Welfare policy?

Medical insurance?

What is that?

“It means you can heal indefinitely at a low price as long as you’re still breathing. After the kids tasted death a few times, their eyes turned upside down. You can see them getting stronger and stronger.”

“M-maybe?”

“I realized it. I’d rather raise my subordinates that way. What’s the point of cherishing my subordinates and having them all die in actual combat.”

“W-we’re 7-star.”

“Whether you’re 7-star or 8-star, are you stronger than me?”

Are they kids? What kind of question is that?

“If you’re weak, just do as you’re told. Starting with you two, who are the leaders. To be honest, you’re really terrible. How can you not even keep up with this much? Once this operation is over, we’ll be entering endless training, so be prepared.”

“Huh?”

Mamma Yujiro and James’ faces turned white.

7-star Walker.

Sword Master level experts.

They were men who could have received the title of Count in other kingdoms except for the Empire.

A huge black cloud was gathering over their heads.

* * *

Mizset, the pseudo-man, and the mentally deranged Haimo, Steel, Buffalo, and Hailer were gathered near the entrance to the underground vault.

The pseudo-man had written the coordinates in advance and teleported here.

“Hyung [Korean term for older brother, used by males] will buy me candy.”

Haimo sticks close to the pseudo-man and acts cute. The cuteness of a giant man who hasn’t even shaved his beard is disgusting.

“I’ll buy it for you later, after this is over.”

“Hing, I want to eat it.”

“I’ll really buy it for you.”

The pseudo-man turned his head to Mizset.

“Are these friends… really injured in the head?”

“Yes, Master. This is also to fix my brothers’ heads.”

“Really? That’s very strange.”

“What is it?”

“They’ve gotten much stronger than when I saw them before. When I saw them before… I thought they were about 4-star… but now they’re 5-star master level. Look at this magic power. What kind of magic did you use? I’ve never seen people with low intelligence get stronger so quickly.”

“Ah. That?”

“What is it?”

“It’s simple. I just made my brothers repeat the secret techniques they had learned infinitely. Then the skills they originally had developed quickly.”

“Oh, is that how it is?”

The pseudo-man realized what it meant.

Originally, their level was not good. But after feeding them Mandragora, an ancient tonic, their magic power increased exponentially. At the same time, they repeat the martial arts they have learned.

It doesn’t mean that they can’t learn skills just because they have low intelligence. No, they could hone the skills they originally had even faster without thinking.

Thanks to that…

Haimo and his colleagues were able to get stronger much faster than before.

“They are the people who saved you at the risk of their lives. Take good care of them.”

“I will. I’m always grateful. But why aren’t they coming?”

Mizset checked the time.

The time she was supposed to meet Legion had clearly passed.

The operation time was approaching.

It’s not something to be done carelessly.

But President Re has not yet appeared.

“He’s not the type of person who doesn’t keep his promises… That’s strange.”

Mizset tilted her head.
