Overgeared

The way mana was used was divided into several different techniques. The flow of mana changed according to the technique applied, the magic core responded, and the magic was completed. However, there was fighting energy in all the mana circuits in Grid’s body. It was also as thick as tar. As a result, the flow of mana wasn’t smooth.

It didn’t mean that the match between fighting energy and mana was bad. It was a side effect that occurred because Grid’s fighting energy was in harmony with sword energy. The opposite would’ve occurred with sword energy if Grid had a harmony between mana and fighting energy.

‘Someone did this.’

Who was the one who changed Grid’s circulation? Braham, the magician, didn’t like it, but he didn’t think of beating up this unknown person. He noticed that Grid’s potential had risen thanks to this. While this person was an enemy to Braham, they were also the one who gave an opportunity to Grid.

‘I don’t think they are an ordinary master.’

Braham found it difficult to guess the identity of the other person despite his knowledge being as vast as the sea. However, it hurt his ego to ask Grid about the identity of the person. He just accepted that the world was wide.

“You’ve picked well.”

Braham soothed his regret and his eyes soon brightened as he watched Grid. The magic book picked by Grid was a good choice. On the other hand, Grid’s expression was rotten. “I’ve picked well? Are you serious?”

Decoy—this was the identity of the magic in the magic book he picked. It was a type of dummy magic that made a bird of mana to deceive the opponent. It was a disheartening result for Grid who wanted powerful destruction magic or weapon enchant-based magic that maximized his items.

‘It would’ve been a big jackpot if I learned Meteor.’

He had set a big goal for himself. Grid had longed for Meteor ever since designing Failure. He couldn’t help being disappointed. Then Braham asked him, “Is it destructive power that you lack?”

“...I don’t think it is lacking.”

"Are you lacking the ability to protect your body?”

“It isn’t that either.”

Braham nodded as Grid answered honestly.

“That's right. The thing you are most lacking is experience. Decoy is a precious magic that will fill your lack of experience.”

“Decoy will fill up my lacking experience?”

Grid couldn’t get a sense of it. Decoy was something that Grid had used previously. During the time when his second class was Legendary Great Magician, one of the magics that was temporarily activated due to the effect of increasing intelligence was Decoy. It was definitely useful at that time. He used Decoy to confuse the other person and make them reveal a gap.

However, the opponents that Grid would have to face in the future were powerful beings like Braham in front of him. Would such a trivial trick work on them?

Braham pointed his staff at the distrusting Grid. “Try using Shunpo.”

“Yes.”

Grid immediately used Shunpo.
