Chapter 20
‘That can’t be true.’
Natasha stood with her mouth agape at the miracle unfolding before her eyes.
‘Succeeded in one try? And only a few minutes after hearing the explanation about physical extension?’
She had never seen anything like this even in the literature.
Е̄n u̇ m̌ а̀ .іd̊
The fact that Dominic had pulled this off meant only one thing.
‘A monster.’

That Dominic was a monster who transcended human imagination.
Dominic exhaled sharply and opened his eyes.
Then he looked at his sword filled to the brim with mana, that mass of metal which now felt like a part of his own body.
‘It’s strong. It’s not even comparable to when mana is stored in the body.’
E nu mӑ. і́d̃_
Was it the difference between organic and inorganic matter? The amount of mana it could contain was on a completely different level.
Filled with awe, Dominic slowly tried to swing the sword……
“Ghk, no, you mustn’t, young master!”
……He was about to swing it, but he stopped his movement when he heard Natasha’s desperate cry.

“I-I didn’t think you’d succeed this quickly. I came to the laboratory because I thought I’d need to attach various auxiliary tools, but if you swing your sword here, my laboratory will be reduced to rubble!”
Natasha hurriedly gathered up her important research materials and stuffed them into her arms.
Èṅ u̇ mã .і̃ d
Dominic stared at her with a dumbfounded expression, then slowly withdrew the mana imbued in his sword.
“Then is there a space suitable for testing the extended physical enhancement technique?”
He spoke with regret at not being able to swing his sword right away.
“A place at the Magic Academy where you can swing a sword…….”
Natasha pushed her glasses back up with the bridge of her nose and pondered.
“Ah, there’s a hall where we hold academic conferences. It’s sturdy and spacious. We even demonstrate attack magic there. Let’s go there.”

And so Dominic moved again, following after Natasha.
He pulled his hood low in case someone recognized him, but people still whispered when they saw him.
“Isn’t that Doctor Helbard? But why is she with someone else?”
“Did Doctor Helbard have friends?”
“It’s not like he’s an assistant either. That’s strange.”
It was because of Natasha.
Е̄ nu̇ m̄ а̂
Dominic once again realized how much of an eccentric she was considered.
‘If people whisper just because she has a companion, that must be pretty painful.’

Sure enough, he could see that the earlobes of the Natasha walking ahead had turned bright red.
Dominic considered offering some words of comfort, then stopped. He knew well that he lacked that kind of skill.
Instead, he followed Natasha in silence to the hall where academic conferences were held.
“This is it.”
Wе̄b̊n̊ ov̀ él̇ Ёñ u m а̌
Natasha said in a deliberately bright voice as they reached the door of the hall.
“Hand over the key and make sure no one approaches. I’ll rent the hall for a day under a doctor’s authority.”
She gave instructions to the gatekeeper guarding the hall and received the key.
The hall’s gatekeeper bowed politely, just like the main gatekeeper they had met yesterday, and then disappeared.

“Please, come in.”
Having completely regained her usual complexion, Natasha led Dominic into the hall.
Е̃n u mа̄. і̂ d.
Dominic, who had vaguely imagined an interior like a conference room packed with countless tables and chairs, was surprised when he saw the inside of the hall.
“It’s quite…… desolate, isn’t it?”
There was nothing inside the hall. Even the walls and ceiling, smeared with several unidentified stains, felt eerie.
“Well, it’s a place primarily meant for magic demonstrations.”
Natasha replied casually, then closed the door and manipulated something.

A gender-neutral voice rang out, and complex magic circles briefly appeared on the walls and ceiling before disappearing.
Dominic swiftly scanned the magic circles.
Just by looking, he could tell they were magic circles designed to reinforce the walls’ durability and block sound.
Without any effort, he could naturally memorize each and every detailed formula of the magic circles.
It was a kind of memorization made possible because he could see through the principles by which the magic circles were formed.
In his mind, Dominic drew the physical reinforcement and soundproofing magic circles once and tried letting mana flow into them.
Ѐn̊u̇m̊а̃
After confirming that mana flowed smoothly, Dominic stored the physical reinforcement and soundproofing magic circles in his head alongside Max Langtang’s fireball magic circle.
Even if they had been exposed to people, it meant they weren’t particularly high-tier magic circles, but right now Dominic felt like a blank sheet of paper and wanted to absorb everything.

“Young master?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. Let’s begin the training.”
Putting on an unfamiliar act of nonchalance, Dominic stepped toward the center of the hall.
“It won’t budge from ordinary impacts, so don’t worry and try swinging it.”
E̊nu m̄ а̃
Natasha said this while activating a defensive barrier spell to protect herself from the sword Dominic would swing.
Dominic closed his eyes again to recapture the same sensation as before.
He was a little worried, but fortunately extending his body again wasn’t difficult.
‘This kind of sensation…… is new.’

Dominic had always struggled to repeat the same technique twice.
At times, it had clearly been a sword technique he himself had executed, yet he would completely forget how he did it and be met with the deep sighs of the one teaching him.
W_е̇b̃ n о̊v̆ е̃ l̀ Е̇ ṅũmâ
‘But to think repetition could be this easy.’
He didn’t even need to feel deep emotions like before.
It was enough to repeat the same thing with nothing more than a vague memory of his hand growing warm and that heat being transmitted to the sword.
Moreover…….
‘My proficiency increased in the meantime.’
The very concept of proficiency was something he was encountering for the first time.

It felt unfamiliar, fascinating, and above all, fun.
If proficiency increased this much with just one repetition, his heart pounded with curiosity about what realm he might reach after two, three repetitions.
Amid such anticipation, Dominic opened his eyes.
Natasha, staring at him as if she were looking at a monster, entered the corner of his vision, but he paid her no mind.
Right now, his heart was burning with the sense of achievement he was experiencing for the first time.
Dominic slowly lifted the sword brimming with mana.
Е n̄u m̂ā.і́.ď.
He didn’t know whether it was just a feeling or something real, but somehow the sword felt heavier than usual.
‘Lift it, then swing.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Swinging a sword was something that fell under Swordsmanship, so he felt slightly tense.
Magic raised proficiency rapidly and was easy to grasp, but Swordsmanship wasn’t like that.
‘Huh?’
But then something astonishing happened.
Е̌nu mа . ǐ ď
The moment he resolved to swing the sword, every memory of practicing swings in his previous life and in this life came flooding into Dominic’s mind like a deluge.
‘What is this? This sensation?’
It was a feeling completely different from proficiency.
Yet it also wasn’t something that could be called the result of internalization or experience.

It was simply memory—countless memories rushing in.
And those memories became a single force that seeped into Dominic’s fingertips.
Е nú m а̌
Feeling a strange sensation as if memory and time had been compressed together and burst forth into the dimension called space, Dominic swung his sword.
Then his sword moved as if dancing, drawing the most beautiful line he had ever seen.
Forgetting even the fact that he was swinging a sword, Dominic stared at the blade he was wielding as if entranced.
It was a surreal sensation, like that of a scholar long ago dreaming he was a butterfly.
Within that sense of unreality, a massive and powerful sword wind arose along the trajectory of Dominic’s swing.
“……!”

In the corner of his vision, he saw Natasha recoil in terror, curling her body.
The sword wind that narrowly grazed past Natasha slammed into the hall’s wall behind her.
And then…….
Ku, goong!
Along with a heavy sound, physical reinforcement and soundproofing magic circles surfaced on the wall and began flashing madly.
“……?”
En u mа̃
Having regained his sense of reality, Dominic blankly watched cracks spread across the magic circles on the wall, and finally saw them shatter into pieces.
And on the wall where the magic circles had completely broken, a fissure split open.

“Hah.”
Unable to believe that he had pierced the defense of mages and left a mark on the wall, Dominic let out a long sigh.
‘Is this really the power of a sword I swung?’
With his fists, maybe—but with a sword, Dominic had once struggled even to destroy a single log.
Eňùm̊ ä . і d̀
Yet now, this…….
“To think something like this would happen!”
Natasha screamed.
“This magic circle is extremely old! Even with the lightning magic I developed, I couldn’t so much as scratch it, let alone break it!”

Natasha turned to Dominic with fearful eyes.
Seeing Dominic standing calmly without any outward agitation, regardless of what he might be feeling inside, Natasha clicked her tongue.
Е̄ n ǔ m а̊ .і̇d
“Young master, are you all right? You didn’t overdo it, did you?”
“I’m fine.”
Dominic shifted the sword to his other hand, then clenched and unclenched his right hand.
The moment he released the sword, all the mana imbued in it vanished as if evaporating.
From that, he could tell that a considerable amount of mana had left his body and returned to nature, but his condition felt perfectly fine.
If anything, he even felt refreshed, as if a hardened film of oil had been skimmed off the surface.

“With this…… if I train a bit more.”
Hope welled up in Dominic’s heart.
“Thank you, Natasha. Thanks to you, I found a clue.”
Dominic showed Natasha a bright smile filled with genuine gratitude.
For a moment, Natasha forgot even the fact that she would have to compensate for the damage to the hall and stood there dazed.
Leaving the stunned Natasha behind, Dominic quickly exited the hall, mounted his horse, and headed straight for the Ducal House of Anika.
Wе́b̂ ňov̌ e̊ l̀ Е̄ n̆ um а
Then he slid down from the horse and stood within his own private clearing.
“First, I should set up the safety barrier I learned earlier.”

Without difficulty, Dominic recreated the physical impact-blocking and soundproofing magic circles that had been in the Imperial Academy hall and erected them on all sides.
When he let mana flow into them, the magic circles standing tall in midair enveloped the clearing without a single gap and shone magnificently.
Dominic’s clearing was far removed from the inner keep of the Ducal House of Anika, and he had strictly warned that no one was to be allowed in, so there was no worry of anyone discovering the magic circles or the golden mana.
After confirming that the strength of the physical impact-blocking magic circles was far more powerful than those he had seen in the hall earlier, Dominic picked up his sword again.
Е̇ň u̇ m а̂
And for the third time, he extended his body and infused mana into the sword.
‘Insane, I grew again.’
This time, he didn’t even need to recall previous memories; he could infuse mana into the sword as naturally as breathing.
Only then did Dominic begin to truly realize, if only at the very edge of it, just how extraordinary his talent was, and he made a weary expression.

It felt unfamiliar to possess such absurd talent.
But at the same time, it was enjoyable.
Е̇ n u m̌а̂
Growing, becoming stronger, was an incredibly pleasant thing.
Dominic lightly stepped into a footwork stance and thrust his sword forward.
Then once again, as before, memories of thrusting the sword gathered at his fingertips, generating a force with tangible form.
Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve…….
Dominic thrust his sword endlessly.
Repetitive training was the field he was most confident in.

Moreover, unlike the past, where repetition yielded no results no matter how much he repeated, this time he could feel infinite possibilities writhing within his body with every repetition.
For the first time, Dominic found training enjoyable.
