Skills commonly referred to as arcane magic fall into two categories.
The first is magic that cannot be used by anyone other than the person involved by applying a unique skill. And the second is magic that has a unique structure that other people cannot easily imitate.
Most of the arcane magic belonged to the former, and the latter was not so easy to be recognized.
This is because it is difficult to make your own magic, and above all else, if your unique skill does not intervene, the probability of overlapping with other people is also high!
âIf the compression formula was this loose, it would decompose as it is during ductility. I donât think the structure is easy.â
âYou have to look at compression and control together. If you donât get the right balance, itâs just a mess.â
The overlap of arcane magic means that their organs and goals completely overlapped, and in this case, there are three endings.
When one side admits defeat at the end of a fight. When two people work together to complete magic. And finally, a third person appears and puts an end to it.
âConsidering that it was balanced, this skill called naturalized jade lacks quite a bit of firepower. Aren't you overly balancing?"
âIsnât it much better than a technology that focuses on firepower and never knows when it will explode? If you try to use magic and die, you have to die.â
Most of them end with the first ending, and I was the most tiring type of the three, fighting until someone acknowledged it.
âItâs absurd. Where the hell does this resemble my arcane magic?â
âThis is my story. It's like magic that hasn't even been built yet. Have you only seen my arcane magic that much?â
The back of the person caught in the middle also exploded.
â⦠⦠.â
At the sight of Lee Chang-wan and Julius looking dissatisfied from both sides, Kang Yoo-sik touched his eyes.
When they first made the proposal, both of them responded positively, and it was okay until Lee Chang-wan came to the United States to talk the next day.
In the same way, they mainly dealt with the fire attribute, and the direction they pursued was the same to the extent that the conception of arcane magic overlapped.
âDamn inspirations⦠⦠.'
But the moment I started talking about arcane magic in earnest. The two began to fight, slandering each other's arcane magic as if they had met even if they had met each other.
Similar but different in detail. The pride he had collided head-on!
âIt's Lee Chang-wan, I knew it, but I never thought Julius Lee would be this bad⦠⦠.'
If only Lee Chang-wan had been a riot, it would have been fine to reconcile with debt, but as long as Julius came out like that, forcibly solving it would not be effective and the result would be poor.
Kang Yoo-sik sighed inwardly and looked at the two with a smile.
âOf course, itâs not completely overlapping, but isnât there the same thing in the main technology or concept? So we exchange opinions⦠⦠.â
âIâm sorry, but none of the parts are the same. I can't figure out what's overlapping."
âI agree with the presidentâs words this time. Where the hell does it overlap?â
Two people who refute as if they had made a promise. Kang Yoo-sik's eyes narrowed at the appearance of denying it, even though he must have known it.
âYou really donât know?â
â⦠⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
The two of them trembled at the calm question, and Kang Yoo-sik continued the story while glaring at Lee Chang-wan and Julius.
âIf you really donât know, I can explain. If it's the two of you, it would be strange not to know! You may have passed it because you were tired.â
It would be difficult for any wizard to prove that even if they had something in common, it would be difficult to prove it, but if it was Kang Yoo-sik, he would be able to do more than that.
Realizing that it would be difficult to pretend they didn't know anymore, the two exchanged glances and answered with a cough.
âHmmm. I don't think there's any need for that. I just found it.â
"Well. It seems that fatigue accumulated from coming to America. I couldn't find something as simple as this⦠⦠.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who looked pathetic at the two of them talking skillfully, relaxed his expression and asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNeither of you has perfected the arcane magic, but can we fix it while interacting with each other? To be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but⦠⦠.â
Julius had now drafted the plan, and Lee Chang-wan was striving, but his was not recognized as a skill because some parts were still lacking.
Why were they being so harsh when they had to cooperate to complete the task?
In response to Kang Yoo-sik's question, the two exchanged glances, and Lee Chang-wan opened his mouth.
âI admit, as you said, there are some elements in common. But it is not because it is the opposite in a crucial way.â
âWhat part are you talking about?â
In response to Kang Yoo-sik's question, Lee Chang-wan pointed to a part of Leviathan's plan.
âAs you can see from this, the presidentâs arcane magic is to finish the process inside the body and then release it to the outside. It is the opposite of naturalized jade, which is processed outside.â
"Hmm⦠⦠.â
âEven if the process is similar, it varies greatly depending on how you use it. And the direction we pursue changes accordingly.â
At Lee Chang-wan's story, Kang Yoo-sik looked down at Leviathan's plan.
âIs this part of the problem too?'
Before the return, Leviathan was a magic like a cannon that maximizes firepower and shoots, but the complete version of Leviathan was a little different.
A method of creating and shooting special flames using high-density magical power that has completed the process of compression, control, and control within the body. In other words, it is the complete opposite of naturalized jade.
âAnd above all⦠⦠They both don't like making new things.'
Since Lee Chang-wan is nearing completion, he probably doesn't want to make a big change, and Julius wants to complement his own lifestyle magic, so he wants to complement it.
Kang Yoo-sik, who understood their thoughts to some extent, made a slightly regretful expression.
âIt's a little bit like giving up without even trying though.'
How could there be no way to get the two of them working together? After pondering for a moment, Kang Yoo-sik looked at the two with a serious expression.
âWould you mind giving me a little time?â
"An hour?"
"Yes. The two of you will work together to find a reason to create arcane magic. So give me a little time.â
The two of them had strange expressions on Kang Yoo-sik's story.
To be honest, he didn't like it, and I didn't think it was possible. But he thought, what if the opponent was Kang Yoo-sik?
âIf there really is such a reason⦠⦠.'
âStill, it's the complete opposite, but how⦠⦠.'
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, contemplating what to do, and then nodded.
"I know. It's not urgent, so there's no need to cut it with a single knife."
âI donât have any urgent business right now, so let me think about it calmly.â
"Thank you."
After putting off the story of arcane magic, Kang Yoo-sik returned to the hotel and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.
âHow do I find a link⦠⦠.'
When Kang Yoo-sik is in the midst of trouble. Cha Si-hyeon, who was sitting on the sofa next to him reading a book, looked at his eyes and asked quietly.
âAre you worried about something?â
"Ah. I have something to think about with regards to magic.â
âIs this related to the announcement?â
"Nope. It's different from that⦠⦠I was thinking about how to mix similar but different magic.â
âHmm.â
At the story of Kang Yoo-sik, Cha Si-hyeon closed the book and fell deep in thought, and immediately opened her mouth as if thinking of something.
âIf itâs somewhat similar⦠⦠Why donât you try making that midpoint first?â
âA midway point?â
"Yes. Whether it is efficient or inefficient, we start by thinking of a means to connect the two. Then we gradually tune in to be more efficient.â
First, it starts by connecting the two magics. Not bad, but the problem was efficiency.
âEfficiency is not good at first, even though⦠⦠It should show the areas where it can be improved.'
Is there really such a way? In Kang Yoo-sik's mind, as he thought deeply, suddenly, the story of Cha Si-hyeon came to mind again.
âThe middle point⦠⦠halfway point?'
A new medium that can connect the outside and the inside. The moment that thought came out. Kang Yoo-sik's eyes widened.
â⦠⦠There it is.'
I didn't learn it properly because it didn't fit my aptitude before returning, but there is a good way.
Kang Yoo-sik felt that the fog that had hung in his head had blown away, so he jumped up from the sofa and took Cha Si-hyeon's hands.
"Thanks!"
"Yes, Yes? Nope⦠⦠Nothing great⦠⦠.â
"Nope. It was helpful enough. After this job is over, I will definitely repay you!â
Kang Yoo-sik, who held Cha Si-hyeon's hand so tightly that it did not hurt, went into the room as it was, and Cha Si-hyeon, who was left alone, looked at his hands.
Even though it was only for a short time, both hands felt as hot as scalding. Then, Cha Si-hyeon carefully placed her hands on her cheeks and rubbed them gently.
"Compensation⦠⦠.â
He murmured in a voice full of anticipation.

The auditorium located on the first floor of the headquarters of the Magic Society.
Invited wizards and reporters were seated all over the place, and on the podium, a wizard broke a cold sweat and continued his presentation.
âWell, so this part⦠⦠.â
It has been over 10 years since he became an A-class hunter and a wizard who is considered a veteran within the Magic Society. He even makes the mistake of stuttering at the conference hall several times.
Normally, stories like senility have already come or where the body hurts, but as of today, everyone understood the wizard's mistakes.
Seven S-class hunters came to visit. In addition, there were not a lot of prospects who were about to be judged by the S-class Hunter, and the number of people was twice as many as at the previous presentation.
Even if you have a strong heart, you can't help but be nervous. That's what this presentation room was all about!
â⦠⦠Is this really because of Ban Hye-young and Kang Yoo-sik?â
When Cha Si-hyeon, who was watching the scene from behind the stage, asked a question as if it was strange, Ban Hye-young nodded her head.
âFor now, however⦠⦠I didn't know it would come this far."
In fact, Heinz, Tao Pei, and the participation alone are more successful than the general presentation.
Yet four more S-class hunters are coming here. It was said to be the discovery of the century, but even considering that, it was a surprising sight in many ways.
âBut how come all the members who came⦠⦠.'
The Japanese bridesmaids do not match their personalities, and it is difficult because they have never met Baekryeonmunju or Ilhwadanju from the Baekryeon Guild.
And above all else, Hermit felt a bit uncomfortable just to appear here in person.
âAs far as I can remember, the last time it came out must have been 5 years ago⦠⦠What wind is blowing?'
Seeing Hermit sitting on her seat with her body covered with a robe, Ban Hye-young looked at her for a moment and then turned her gaze away.
It's not because you have to look at it to see what's inside, it's because it was Kang Yoo-sik's turn.
âI have to prepare slowly now, so go and call Yoo-sik.â
"All right."
Cha Si-hyeon, nodding her head, headed straight to the waiting room and knocked on the door lightly.
âKang Yoo-sik. Now you have to prepare slowly.â
"Ah. I will leave.â
Not long after answering, the door opened and Kang Yoo-sik came out. Dark circles on both eyes are not very good.
Seeing this, Cha Si-hyeon put on a slightly worried expression.
âAre you okay?â
âOh, yes. it's okay. Until today, it is well worth it.â
While preparing the presentation, it struggled a bit to prepare a card to convince the two of them, but eventually obtained a result.
Cha Si-hyeon looked down at Kang Yoo-sik with a tired but satisfied smile and took his right hand with both hands.
Snap!
With the sound of something interlocking, the body that had been disorganized was put together. Kang Yoo-sik, who felt the fatigue that was weighing on his body disappearing, observing with a slightly surprised expression.
âThis is all I can do right now. Stay strong until the end.â
Kang Yoo-sik smiled and nodded his head when he saw Si-hyeon talking while being slightly shy.
"Yes. I will do my best.â
Kang Yoo-sik, waving his hand lightly as if shaking hands, walked straight to the presentation hall, passed the exhausted presenter in the previous turn, and approached Ban Hye-young.
âCan you do it?â
âIt hurts my mouth to tell you.â
âThatâs a good answer.â
Ban Hye-young patted his back with her palm and smiled.
âWhat I said. do not forget."
"Yes. I will go.â
With Ban Hye-young's support, Kang Yoo-sik stepped onto the podium, and at that moment, the eyes of those sitting on the seat immediately poured out.
Maybe it's because there's a mix of S-class hunters, but it's more intense than I imagined. The previous presenters were proving that they were not for nothing, but Kang Yoo-sik passed it on with ease.
âIt's not like I'm trying to kill you, but that's about it.'
Kang Yoo-sik, who climbed up on the podium, faced the seat and smiled faintly.
âI am a first-year student in the DIA class at Sungjin Military Academy, who was given todayâs presentation. It's called Kang Yoo-sik. From now on, I will present the proof of Theor's imaginary space hypothesis and Ragmund's magical conjecture."
Whoo-
With a light gesture, the video materials necessary for the proof floated in the air, and Kang Yoo-sik began his presentation leisurely.
As the proof part was prepared with Ban Hye-young, there were no errors, and even though it was a complex theory, it came into my mind neatly just by listening to it.
âHuh⦠⦠.â
âI hope these hypotheses will be proven⦠⦠.â
âI canât believe it⦠⦠.â
Numerous wizards listened with exclamations, and the questions that followed after the presentation were all smoothly turned over.
It's not just memorizing the script, but proving that you understand it perfectly. Again, the wizards burst into admiration.
âIs that really possible for a cadet?â
âIt reminds me of the arc mages of the past⦠⦠.â
The presentation was perfect and spotless. But some voices of regret came out of their mouths.
âAre there exaggerations in the end?â
âI thought so, but⦠⦠.â
All of the hypotheses proved above were great, but it was not enough to say that the hunter industry was overturned.
In particular, S-class hunters were seeing the level accurately, but Kang Yoo-sik raised his eyebrows at the sight of them sending admiration and regret at the same time.
âIt's still not enough.'
He would have thought so too.
So Kang Yoo-sik then grabbed the microphone and opened his mouth.
âThen it seems that the warm-up has been completed with this.â
The whole seat froze at Kang Yoo-sik's story, and the wizards who had forgotten what to say for a moment made ridiculous expressions.
âWarm, warm-up⦠⦠?â
âHow can you say something like that⦠⦠.â
âI canât be arrogant.â
You proved two difficult problems that remained in the magic world for a long time, but what could be greater than that?
When everyone is buzzing with absurd stories. Kang Yoo-sik, seeing this, smirked and snapped his fingers.
âA newly discovered element from now on. Let's start with the presentation on the Magic Core.â
