Chapter 106 I Alone Have Infinite Magic (1)
Aika showed a fluorescent-colored something.
Seeing it, Yu-jin was greatly impressed.
He widened his eyes and exclaimed with admiration.
As if he had seen something truly precious.
“Wow!! Isn’t this that thing? The one made with a core, that generates electricity!!”
“Hmph. My disciple indeed has a keen eye! Yes. This is a ‘Mana Fuel Rod’. It’s fuel used for magical energy generation. It’s very precious.”
In front of his amazement, Aika chattered excitedly.
She pressed and pulled out the rod inserted into her chest.
Yu-jin’s eyes blatantly fixated on her cleavage.
-Swoosh… Slip. Bounce.
‘Wow, that’s a strategic material that can’t even be compared to nuclear fuel rods. She actually brought this.’
Of course, he didn’t dare lust after his master.
The thing inserted in her cleavage was a ‘Mana Fuel Rod’ made by processing and condensing the ‘Core’ of a gate.
Wasn’t it an item that even made nuclear power plants seem mundane with its overwhelming energy efficiency?
Just one of those could ensure a major city had no electricity worries for a week.
In other words, it was a priceless item.
A legitimate cheat code for infinite magic just for me.
The sight of this item, which would overcome this unprecedented crisis, made anything else insignificant.
-Ding.
[The skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ recites the Heart Sutra with a lisp.]
Actually, it was significant, and if it weren’t for the hypnosis when Aika undid the buttons, it would have been disastrous. Anyway.
Thanks to it, Yu-jin survived and felt relieved.
‘If I have this….’
-He hesitated.
‘Wait a minute. How did she bring this?’
However, his face soon stiffened.
Mana Fuel Rods easily cost hundreds of billions.
No. It’s a strategic material managed by the state, so you can’t normally get it no matter how much money you have.
…But how did Master bring this?
“How did you….”
-He hesitated.
‘Could it be that time? The delivery?’
A memory passed by.
Before coming to America, when he informed his master about the S-rank gate news.
The delivery box she was holding.
It was even labeled ‘Prohibited Import’ so he wondered what it was…
Could it be this?
Strategic materials secretly brought from Japan?
Yu-jin was stunned by his own guess.
‘If Brother Suguru knew, he’d shed tears of blood…?’
-Bounce.
‘The timing is also perfect. An S-rank gate bursts the day the purchase from the Prime Minister arrives.’
As he guessed, what Aika was holding at that time was a box strictly sealed with a Mana Fuel Rod inside.
The reason she brought the Mana Fuel Rod was this.
If an S-rank gate bursts, she promised to go on a date with her disciple…
But the disciple is weak, so he’d collapse from magic depletion in 5 minutes, right?
Since they’re at it, they should swing swords together, fight back-to-back. Also check their compatibility.
But 5 minutes is too short.
What should she do?
‘…Right! I’ll bring the one used in power plants!’
[Prime Minister. Give it. Just take the money from my account.]
[…External release of Mana Fuel Rods is absolutely prohibited.]
[Hand it over while I’m asking nicely, before I get angry about embezzlement.]
[……I-I’ll give it! But I have my political concerns, so I’ll send it secretly, please refill it with a core later.]
[Okay.]
Thus, Aika extorted Japan’s strategic asset.
Just for a date with her disciple.
[If this gets found out, I’m…!!!]
The Japanese Prime Minister grabbed his hair in despair,
[…I checked what it was, are you out of your mind? It’s confiscated. It will be returned to the Japanese government.]
[No. It’s necessary for my disciple.]
[For Yu-jin? Why on earth…… Hmm. Hard to believe, but I’ll give it.]
Even Seol Ha-yeon, despite following her intuition, agonized a hundred times if this was right.
In the end, it turned out to be a good thing since it helped Yu-jin.
The eyes of the sincere young man sparkled.
“The reason you put it there…!!”
“There’s no one to body search me, and even if someone detects magic, they won’t suspect. It’s the best place to hide it.”
“As expected of Master!!”
Ah, my master knew everything and prepared.
Unlike a disciple who just brought a single katana, she even prepared such a precious item for emergencies.
As expected of my master. I love her.
“However, extracting magic directly from here is extremely dangerous. A slightest mistake could cause a massive explosion….”
“It’s okay! Master, I have confidence in controlling magic!”
“…Yes. The MVP of this raid will be none other than you, my disciple!”
Aika was also happy.
The plan she had been secretly brewing.
The operation to give Yu-jin all the credit.
It was being perfectly executed.
‘If my disciple handles the raid almost alone, any little mistake I make will be covered up, right? He’ll continue to see me as a delicate woman, right?’
Additionally, the power she wanted to hide so much.
That would also be quietly buried.
Her lips curled up.
“Here, take it. It’s a secret that I brought this, so hide it secretly like I did, out of others’ sight.”
“Yes.”
-He grabbed it.
‘It’s warm. How much magic is contained in this?’
‘My, my disciple is handling something that was just there moments ago! Is this indirect…?’
…Though there were sinister thoughts hidden in her smile.
The sincere young man was oblivious.
* * *
The secret item Master brought. The Mana Fuel Rod.
A thing that would supply me with the much-needed magic in abundance.
Thanks to it, my expression brightened.
With this, I could conquer the gate on my own.
‘With this, I can manage it alone…!’
From what I had seen earlier, the behavior patterns of the monsters were the same as the previous A+ grade gate.
They were just enhanced, but the pattern remained the same.
Even with B-rank lower awakened abilities, it was avoidable.
My brain power was ranked number one in S-rank, surpassing even Master.
The only problem was one thing.
To deal damage, I needed to use Zaha Swordsmanship, which consumed a massive amount of magic…
But Master had solved that as well.
By handing me the Mana Fuel Rod, which couldn’t be obtained even with money.
The infinite magic cheat made me feel secure.
“Gong. About the gate strategy, I’ll handle the tanking and dealing.”
“…You alone? Leaving us behind?”
“You saw the monsters earlier. If we all fight clumsily together, it’ll turn into chaos. Someone will definitely die.”
Under the rising confidence, I explained the operation overview to Gong.
If we fought as a group like the existing raid teams?
The noise would attract other monsters.
This would undoubtedly cause chaos.
Against the enhanced monsters, even the veteran Vietnam Liberation Army would suffer casualties.
“Look with future sight. How is it?”
“…Sure enough, if we just fight, a few will die.”
“Right? So we need to take them down one by one with a small elite team. You, me, Master. Alice and Shia. Just the five of us.”
So let’s go with a five-person party.
Me. Handling the evasion tanking and dealing.
Master. Acting as a sub-dealer and parry.
Alice. Luring monsters with fire magic.
Shia. Carrying Alice and retreating to the rear once aggroed.
Gong. Overall command as the leader.
…Honestly, it was an insane plan.
If I told others, they’d dismiss it as nonsense.
To deploy cadets in an S-rank gate raid. Are you out of your mind?
“Including those two?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s ridiculous….”
-He hesitated.
“…They fight better than I thought?”
But standing before me was Gong.
A strategist ranked among the top in the world, who could glimpse the future.
Gong instantly saw through the success or failure of my plan.
Whether it was a success or failure.
There was no need to ask.
-He grinned.
“Let me give you a spoiler, you’ll have to fight for about 10 hours straight? There will be really dangerous moments too.”
“Hey, scared?”
“Ha. This is daily life in Vietnam. We fought for 36 hours straight during the Necromancer hunt. A mere 10 hours of hard work is cute.”
“Okay. Then….”
“Let’s do it. An epic struggle to go down in history.”
Gong and I grinned with confidence.
We bumped fists and turned away without saying anything more.
Gong headed towards the other awakened ones.
Probably to persuade them into this crazy plan.
I too started walking.
I had two people to persuade as well.
“Alice. Shia. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Yu-jin!! What with that bitch….”
-He grabbed her.
“Mmph! Mmmp!!”
“Alice? Shia?”
“Ignore this vixen for now. Why?”
The people to persuade were none other than my two wives.
Why Alice was angry even before I said anything, and Shia was using her abilities to block, I didn’t know…
But there was no time to worry about such trivial things now.
It probably wasn’t a big deal.
“It’s a plan Gong and I made….”
I quickly explained.
The five-person raid team. The roles they would play.
“So, the vixen here will play with fire to draw attention, and I will carry her and run to the rear once we aggro?”
“Yeah. Alice can do rare long-range attacks, and Shia, you’re top in movement speed.”
-Swoosh.
“Got it? How do you think?”
“Ha-ha-ha!! I, I agree! I’ll do anything to help Yu-jin!”
“I agree too. It’s a plan set by the current S-rank and the future S-rank, it will surely succeed.”
They accepted without hesitation.
Even though it must have been scary, they showed no sign of fear.
“Instead, if you get hurt, we’ll run away without looking back. Carrying you.”
“Right. I’ll use magic to buy time….”
They even worried about me, who had taken on the most dangerous role.
…How lovely my wives are.
I really want to kiss them fiercely.
“It’s okay. Gong will cover, and Master will back me up. I won’t get a scratch.”
“True. With that Ninomiya protecting you, nothing will happen. I worried for nothing.”
Of course, their concerns melted away with the mention of Master.
Their gazes turned to each other.
“Take care of me, Shia.”
“Sigh. It’s the second time since the bomb defusal. Take care of me.”
-Muttering.
“It’s annoying to carry her again… but I have something to say anyway.”
“…? Shia, what did you say?”
“Not now, later.”
“……?”
Whatever they whispered to each other…
It was probably encouragement to do well together.
They were partners in this party, meant to complement each other’s weaknesses.
I couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright. Then… Ah, Master. Listen to this. Gong and I made a plan.”
“Hmm. It’s a pretty good plan. Good. Leave your back to me.”
“Yes. Thank you, Master!”
I quickly explained to Master as well.
Thus, the party was completed with my two wives, one best friend, and one hypnotic breeding man.
A party that would probably go down in the history of awakened ones.
“Yu-jin~ The explanation is roughly over!! Everyone said they’ll just watch for now!!”
“Yay, yay.”
It seemed Gong had finished talking too.
I made eye contact with my wives, and as if on cue, we stepped forward simultaneously.
Without hesitation. Step- step-
“…Shia, what did you say earlier?”
“Stay put. We’ll be mostly waiting in the rear, I’ll talk then. Just the two of us.”
Shia and Alice were behind us.
“By the way, where is my katana? Did you….”
“It’s entrusted back there. With mine.”
“Thank you. I was too busy to pay attention.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Master was right behind me.
I was at the front of everyone.
“Then….”
-Step.
“Let’s finish this raid quickly and go eat. All together.”
S+++ grade gate.
The raid began.
