The square window in front of Hyeonu became four times larger than the original size, and a random circle was generated inside it. At first, the circle was small enough to be more like a dot. The small dot soon grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of a bean. Then it grew to the size of a child’s fist. After that, the number ‘3’ was displayed above it, and this number decreased every second. Three seconds later, the number reached zero, and the circle the size of a fist disappeared.
‘This is when it is over.’ Hyeonu didn’t receive the system’s explanation, but he instinctively noticed that the test was over once the number reached ‘0’.
-The test is starting. The total number of circles is 10.
‘This time it is still divided into stages...’
Hyeonu’s eyes narrowed at the relatively slow appearance of the first circle. The speed at which the dots appeared was just average. It wasn’t that slow, but it wasn’t fast either. The dots were now growing more slowly than before.
Hyeonu acted leisurely. He didn’t have to focus. In fact, he wasn’t even nervous. Hyeonu injected magic power roughly into the magic power stone. Even so, the dots burst quickly, before they even grew properly. 10 explosions occurred the moment that 10 dots appeared. In other words, the dots exploded the very moment they appeared.
-You have passed the test. I will proceed with the next test. The total number of circles is 20.
Hyeonu had no time to rest as this was when the next test started. This time, he had to explode 20 circles, which were 10 more than before. Still, there was nothing to worry about. The result was the same.
‘This is the speed I saw initially.’
The dots that appeared were a bit faster than before. They grew at a similar rate to the demonstration that was shown to Hyeonu, but it wasn’t that hard. The magic power control that Hyeonu had built up while playing Arena wasn’t only this little. With the current Mysterious Sky Range, he had to split his magic power dozens of times. What about Mysterious Sky Steps? He had to spread his magic power evenly over his body. He could only use the right skills when he distributed magic power properly. It was truly atrocious.
Due to the Book of Random Luck Enhancement, the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art transformed into a skill with an extremely heinous level of difficulty. So the current test was really nothing for him.
Hyeonu continued exploding the dots like nothing had happened. They exploded again and again the moment they appeared and didn’t even reach the size of a bean.
-You have passed the test. I will proceed with the next test. The total number of circles is 50.
‘This... isn’t a big deal?’
The dots quickly increased in size the moment they appeared in the square window. It would be a big problem for other players. The dots grew continuously at a crazy rate. In order to explode them without missing any, he had to quickly release magic power. However, it was good for Hyeonu. He was able to handle magic power faster and more accurately than any other player. Hyeonu just had to inject magic power rhythmically.
After a while, the last dot exploded, and no more dots appeared in the rectangular window. Seeing no additional dots had appeared, Hyeonu started to pray earnestly, ‘Please, this time...’
It didn’t matter who he prayed to. He just wanted to stop doing this thing that wasn’t fun. Hyeonu would never have wanted to do this if it wasn’t for the fact that it would raise his stat.
-You have passed the stage 2 test. The test has ended.
As if Hyeonu’s eager wish reached someone, the test finally ended here. Now was the time for the reward.
-The test result has determined that your magic power control is the best. You will absorb 20% of the current magic power.
‘20%?’ Hyeonu cheered when he heard the voice of the system. The reward was worth the suffering. No, he was even willing to do it again and again if he were given the opportunity.
‘It’s wild.’
Hyeonu’s current magic power was 840. 20% meant 168 points. It was a huge number. The increased stat was calibrated with various skills and increased his power by several times.
Suddenly, an intense violet light leaked from the magic power stone. Hyeonu felt he was going to be blinded by the light and closed his eyes. The light from the magic power stone was sucked into Hyeonu’s body.
[The magic power stat has increased by 168 points.]
Once all the light was absorbed into Hyeonu, Viscount Garcia started speaking to him. From Garcia’s perspective, Hyeonu had been engulfed in light since the moment he shouted ‘Magic Power Absorption’.
“Your magic power has increased by a lot, Baron Argon.” Garcia’s eyes were filled with admiration. His father had never absorbed as much magic power as Hyeonu even though his father had been an earl. This showed how talented the baron was.
‘I have to maintain a friendly relationship even if I can’t accept him as a subordinate,’ Garcia thought.
Of course, their relationship was now close to an alliance. However, this type of relationship was easily broken in the demon world. It was so light that it could be thrown away at any time.
‘I have to be sufficiently kind to him in order to maintain a good relationship...’ Garcia decided. Baron Argon was a demon with a bright future. His magic power talent was so great that he could quickly become a viscount. With time, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to become a senior noble like an earl or above.
‘I have to take him.’ Viscount Garcia had the desire to take Hyeonu as his subordinate. Then he would own one of the best armed forces in the demon world. The baron might not be the demon god, but even the demon god wouldn’t be able to ignore him. Baron Argon was that powerful.
