Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 347

Magic is Learned in Vain -348 (348/502)

# 348

Run! Shuttle 2

The Shuttle was doing its best.

It had no choice but to do its best.

The moment it drove the carriage even slightly strangely, the wheels would fall off, and the body would break down.

The suspension supporting the wheels had been creaking for a while now.

It felt like it would snap at any moment.

So, it had to stop the carriage twice and receive help from the support team.

It was a temporary fix.

“You absolutely must not exceed 50 kilometers. The suspension will break first. Other parts can somehow be repaired. But in the current situation, the suspension cannot be replaced.”

Steve Jukso shouted.

The Shuttle nodded and shouted, ‘Hyah!’ pulling the reins and urging on the Ghost Horse.

50 kilometers is quite a fast speed.

Ordinary carriages couldn’t even dream of such a speed.

It’s just that the carriages running on the track are abnormally fast.

It’s this fast even without magical equipment. They say that mechanical devices are already active in the Empire.

The Empire uses mechanical magic [magic powered by machines].

It was a technology thoroughly veiled in secrecy.

But those who have studied abroad know how great it is.

The kingdom also sends many government-funded students to learn mechanical magic.

However, what they learn and bring back is only the tip of the iceberg.

Still, thanks to the efforts of the international students, these technologies were gradually spreading throughout the country.

The kingdom will soon activate mechanical magic, which combines magic and mechanical technology.

People with brains thought so.

Legion doesn’t think so at all, but unknowingly, he signed a contract with Steve Jukso, a pioneer of mechanical magic carriages.

Thanks to that, he becomes the richest man in the kingdom.

Watching such a Legion, Mark shouted.

-It doesn’t make sense, sam! It’s like he has a spirit of luck attached to him, not a spirit of curse, sam. How, how can money roll in like this, sam!

That’s a story for later.

Still, the Shuttle trusts Steve Jukso.

The carriage completely broke down twice. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was smashed to pieces.

It would be better to scrap it than to repair it. I wonder if I could get about 2 gold at the junkyard.

But Steve Jukso and the support team revived this carriage twice.

Although it is not a carriage with perfect performance, it had far superior performance than ordinary carriages.

The top speed is 50 kilometers per hour, but it is only slow compared to other carriages, and it is far faster than ordinary carriages.

The Shuttle acknowledged Steve Jukso and the support team.

It was the first time he thought that magic was not the only thing that was perfect.

There are such outstanding people in other fields as well. As he changed his mind, the stubbornness he had melted away like ice in the hot summer.

His head was very clear.

It felt like a layer had been peeled off.

Then what should he show?

It’s running.

He just needs to pass the finals without breaking the carriage.

He must not accidentally break the carriage in the middle.

Win?

To be honest, it was nonsense.

Even if God thought he was cute, it couldn’t happen. It is impossible even if coincidences overlap.

The Grand Prix final was not a place where you could win with luck alone.

You need both skill and luck.

Unfortunately, Apple Motors’ carriage was barely holding on to its life.

It is a carriage with performance that could be in the top ranks, but not now.

With a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour, he can’t catch up even if he dies and comes back to life.

So, let’s aim to finish the race.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-

Look at this.

Other carriages overtook the Shuttle once again. I don’t know how many times it is.

Four times? Five times?

I think it’s about that much.

He fell far behind.

Even if he used turbo magic on the Ghost Horse’s legs, it is impossible to catch up now.

That’s when it happened.

The No. 7 and No. 8 carriages running ahead started fighting. Then they collided and split to the sides.

“Wow!”

As expected, the collision scene of the carriage seen right in front of him is incredibly thrilling.

Fortunately, the coachmen don’t seem to be dead.

The Shuttle’s carriage became 7th place by chance.

If he was running close to the top-ranked carriages, he would have fought for the ranking once, but the difference is too great. The lap time was more than 2 minutes behind.

Even if he is in 7th place, he doesn’t care much and pulls the reins.

He goes straight at 50 kilometers.

Another bizarre thing happened again.

It exploded with a pop on the stadium floor. Two carriages were caught in the explosion.

The carriages flew dozens of meters and fell in the center of the stadium. It was completely smashed.

The coachmen who barely survived crawled out.

It was the 5th and 6th place carriages.

The game was temporarily suspended due to the explosion.

The carriages stopped there. When they restart, they will start from that spot.

-It is expected to take about 30 minutes to grasp the situation. Spectators, please take a break. The 2nd floor restrooms may be very crowded, so please use the 1st floor restrooms.

The same words were repeated from the speaker.

The Shuttle also took off his helmet and got out of the carriage. Sweat was dripping down his face.

He realized this time that the coachmen who compete in speed are amazing. It wasn’t just ordinary stamina consumption.

Because he was running at such a high speed, the carriage would rush into the wall even if he let go of his mind even a little.

He knew why the coachmen were so skinny. It was basic to lose 2-3 kilos every time he raced.

The Shuttle, who got out of the carriage, staggered. His legs were trembling.

Steve Jukso and the support team ran up and supported the Shuttle. They fluttered towels to dry the Shuttle’s sweat.

“Here, water.”

Steve Jukso put a drink in the Shuttle’s mouth. It was a refreshing lemon-flavored drink.

What was the name?

Crazy dog?

The name is very unique. Thanks to that, he doesn’t forget it easily once he hears it.

He said it was an expensive drink that was absorbed faster than water. The taste is good.

“What on earth is going on?”

The Shuttle asked.

“We don’t know either. This is the first time this has happened.”

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the point where the explosion occurred. Although there was an explosion, the stadium floor was surprisingly intact. If he did a little repair, there would be no problem playing the game.

Does that mean?

“I have a strange feeling.”

Steve Jukso said.

“What?”

“It feels like we picked it up for nothing. Do you know what place we are in now?”

“What place were we in?”

“It’s 5th place.”

“5th place…….”

“If there are only two cars in front, we will be in the top ranks.”

“…….”

The Shuttle felt a chill down his spine. He shook his head.

No.

It can’t be.

That should never happen.

President Lei’s face came to mind. He said he would bet 100,000 gold.

He dissuaded him and lowered it to 10,000 gold.

I guarantee it…….

If I win…….

I won’t survive.

* * *

I know why Mizset is called the godmother [a term for a powerful female figure in the underworld].

Mizset knew all the traps here.

For example, a trap where the floor collapses. It is an old-fashioned trap with iron skewers 20 meters below.

The problem is that he upgraded the trap.

If you fall into a trap, a rock falls from above. There was no way to avoid having his limbs pierced by iron skewers.

But Mizset has no problem.

Three steps forward, two steps to the left, four steps forward, six steps to the right, one step back, two steps to the left, five steps forward.

This will get him through that dangerous trap.

There were dozens of other traps.

He didn’t know that so many traps were lurking.

He knew why so many skilled thieves had all failed and were imprisoned.

Capable thieves failed and went to prison, but incompetent thieves fell into traps and lost their lives.

There were so many terrifying traps.

Even Dreizer was speechless.

He simulated it in his head.

Can he break through the trap?

Three steps forward, two steps to the left, four steps forward, blah blah…….

Dreizer’s head emits steam and makes a pop sound.

I can’t. I can’t.

So, should I fall into a trap and die?

That’s difficult too.

His body is already as hard as steel. A magic defense covered such skin.

Thanks to his master, his resistance to poison has also increased to 80 percent.

As he became a Grand Master, his view of the world also changed. He can see most of the traps.

It’s harder to die here.

What is really dangerous are ancient dungeons or traps set up by dragons.

Or that damn Great Master.

The power of a Grand Master is that strong.

However, if he destroys all the traps with force, it will be impossible to escape from this place.

A Grand Master is not a god.

It is just a being with powerful power that transcends the limits of humans.

If a legion-level force with powerful force surrounded him, even a Grand Master would not be able to escape easily.

Even if he could break through the siege and run away, he would have to give up Mizset, Mamma Yujiro, and Jason.

“It’s the end.”

Mizset wiped the sweat from her forehead. It seems like she sweats even if she moves a little. Lose some weight.

“I’m going to go on a diet when this is over. Don’t worry.”

“Ah. Sorry.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. I know I’m fat too. Let’s go in.”

Mizset opened the last cabinet.

As expected, it seems like they won’t just let him go.

Ten knights blocked their way.

Black armor. The symbol of the King of the Air was accurately engraved on his shoulder. As if to show off on purpose.

King of the Air’s Royal Guard.

It was a unit composed of only 200 knights of 5-star level or higher.

Each individual had the skills to take on the role of knight commander right away.

In fact, it is questionable that 200 knights of 5-star level or higher would gather.

If they had that much skill, they would have received a title long ago. He does not remain an ordinary knight.

However, if you look at the inside, that is not always the case.

It is said that the King of the Air’s Royal Guard started by gathering 1,000 children for the first time.

They were subjected to hellish training on the island, and 500 of them survived.

The 500 were registered as foreign legions and dispatched as mercenaries to various countries.

Having experienced tremendous real battles, they grew stronger at a rapid pace. When there were 300 left, all of them reached 4-star master level.

After that, they hunted legendary monsters.

The three-headed lion of Orihar.

The golden Goliath of Show Me the Money.

Hargon’s Iron Pistol.

They hunted them and became even stronger.

All are 5-star walkers or masters. The team leaders are known to be 6-star.

The camaraderie they had since they were young was very strong. They were people who risked their lives for each other.

Furthermore, they had great pride in being the King of the Air’s Royal Guard.

Their goal is to make the King of the Air’s Royal Guard the strongest unit on the continent.

That’s why they were not interested in titles or money.

If there was anything, it was only honor.

It was his name.

The King of the Air’s Royal Guard looked at the four men and women who opened the door and entered.

“Some beggars have appeared again. Huh? You are?”

Team leader Gotjukeo of the King of the Air’s Royal Guard, who was on secondment, frowned as he looked at Mizset.

He couldn’t not know.

Because his subordinates were seriously injured because of that crazy woman. The crazy subordinates who were with him were the same. He wasn’t just strong.

Thanks to that, ten people were seriously injured and taken to the temple.

That crazy woman is back.

“Weren’t you in prison?”

“I escaped from prison.”

“You’re crazy. This is His Highness’s private property. It looks like you have two lives.”

“Private property. Private property where the blood of countless people has turned into gold.”

Mizset looked at the back of Gotjukeo.

“Whee~ It’s really amazing even when I see it again. How much would it be if converted into money? It definitely exceeds 10 million gold. 20 million gold? 30 million gold?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Just tell me.”

“What do you need to know when you’re going to die? I sent you to Alcatraz [a notorious prison] to reform you because I felt sorry for your skills. But not anymore. Traitor. I will cut off your head here.”

Seureung~

Gotjukeo drew his sword. A clear aura was created from his sword.

It was a perfect aura.

The aura, which was getting longer and longer, changed into the shape of a chrysanthemum.

There are only a few people in the King of the Air’s Royal Guard who have the skills to complete this level of aura.

“He’s a 6-star knight. Be careful.”

Mizset said quietly.

At that moment-

Bang!

With a sound, Gotjukeo’s body disappeared. Soon, he crashed into a pile of gold bars at least dozens of meters away and was buried.

Kwarururureung!

The pile of gold bars collapsed.

The collapsed pile of gold bars did not budge. There was no movement from Gotjukeo either.

The King of the Air’s Royal Guard stared at Dreizer in surprise. They seemed unable to believe this fact because they saw such an absurd scene.

Mizset scratched her head.

She said unnecessary things.

The person who needed to be warned was not Dreizer.

It was the King of the Air’s Royal Guard.

Let’s pray for their souls.
