To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 402
Episode 402: Unconventional Magic
Circle A magic circle is a kind of ‘formula’ designed to cause or move various magics by itself.
More perfect and more powerful.
The ancient wizards who wished for it came up with a formula.
I drew a picture and engraved the magic formulas I made on it.
That was the beginning of the magic circle.
simple drawing.
With just that alone, ancient magic could be manifested.
The picture continued, changed, and developed to become the current magic circle.
Ray wasn’t just reading and memorizing books.
I understood it and thought about what else I could do with it.
His jade-like fingers flicked through the air.
Then, the mana in the air created a path and created a small circular magic circle.
Woong-woong-!
What appeared along with the resonant sound was a small light.
The red light and the scarlet light were confused and intertwined.
Soft colors, like the night view of a beautiful floating city, illuminated the temple brightly.
In the meantime, Ray slit his finger once more.
As the short curves were connected to the circular magic circle, the light was scented.
It was an intermediate-level magic circle that could not be criticized.
It was also a fairly advanced level among the intermediate level.
Less than a day later, Heprion admired Ray as he learned to absorb water like cotton.
“I wasn’t that fast when I was younger… but the more I look at it, the less human I am, Mr. Ray!”
It was a learning speed at which even Aira would have stuck out her tongue when teaching the language.
In addition, in a magic circle where mathematical formulas are used a lot, Ray used modern mathematical formulas like a fish in water.
The calculation speed was inevitably different from them.
As if tapping a calculator in my head, the calculation speed was accurate and quick, and I took the coordinates of my family to draw the magic circle.
Every time the graceful fingers played in the air, a magic circle was manifested and changed the temple.
The three who watched it couldn’t possibly focus on the design.
It has grown noticeably with each passing hour.
After two hours, a new magic circle appears.
After half a day, magic was manifested in a strangely shaped magic circle.
Now, they were pulling out basic magic with a magic circle that was so distorted that they couldn’t understand.
“It’s just amazing that magic can be manifested with a pattern like that.”
“The demon magic circle… can be manifested at any time as long as you follow the formula…”
“Sert, I mean, how do you calculate all the formulas to a constant value with such an irregular pattern?”
Heprion pointed a finger at Ray.
Just in time, his hand was about to create a magic circle in the air.
The finger on the left moved downward in a thin curve.
And then go back up in the direction you came from.
Shaped like a crescent moon.
It was a completely different shape from the circular magic circle.
However, the magic was manifested nonetheless.
Woong-woong-!
With a resonant sound, several fiery arrows were created.
Fire arrow.
The magic of a fairly high circle was manifested as an unstable magic circle.
Seeing that, Heprion continued.
“Even if their skills are at an intermediate level, their understanding of magic circles has already surpassed us. At least I can’t activate proper magic with a magic circle like that.”
He looked at Ira this time.
It was a question of how she was.
Then Aira lowered her beautiful finger.
A crescent-shaped magic circle like Ray.
As her fingers, which were constantly carving out the formulas, put a period, a fiery arrow appeared in the air.
Fire-!
A fire arrow of the same magnitude was cast in front of his eyes.
It means that she can still do it.
But on the contrary, Sert shook his head.
“…It’s impossible.”
The day that Ray decided on a magic circle and started learning.
He was already beyond two high elves.
* * *
By the third day, Ray was staring blankly at the ceiling more days than reading.
Even while drawing the magic circle with unfocused eyes, he shook his head and scattered mana.
Now, the magic circle he was drawing didn’t even take shape.
On the first day, if he had at least a minimal shape like a crescent moon, now he only carves mathematical formulas.
As a result, far from manifesting magic, he was only producing worse results than the first time.
When I drew a magic circle using the formula of the wind cutting magic wind cutter, only the sound of wind leaking came out.
Sert looked at him and said worriedly.
“…Wouldn’t it be better to dry it now…?”
Heprion agreed.
“If we continue like that, we will only regress!”
The two stomped their feet and looked at Aira.
“Leave it alone. He is a child who knows how to walk on his own. Seeing that, it seems that our going out will only be poison.”
“I must have gone the wrong way… I need to get it right here…” “
I told you not to touch it.”
Sert kept his mouth shut at Aira’s firm words.

Ray was lost in thought.
magic circle.
It was a rope that tied several magics together at once, and was a fertilizer that increased the power of the original magic.
After memorizing all the basics and reaching the intermediate level, he is improving his understanding of the magic circle, but he encounters a problem.
‘Won’t the magic manifest if it doesn’t form? Could it be that it’s just a meaningless painting that can’t be called a magic circle?’
The ancient magic circle was just a picture.
As lines continued and formulas intertwined, the picture became a magic circle.
Just as an immature boy in the neighborhood becomes a full-fledged wizard, a meaningless painting becomes a magic circle by meeting equations and formulas.
formulas and formulas.
In a way, it is the most important and obvious element that makes up the magic circle, but there is no form in it.
Then why does the magic circle need a shape?
Even though formulas and formulas have no form, if they do not form, why does magic not manifest?
After two days of long thought, Ray arrived at an answer.
‘That’s because there is no frame.’
The two most important elements in forming a magic circle that everyone believes are so.
formulas and formulas.
That was the wrong word.
There were a total of three most important things that made up the magic circle.
Formulas, formulas, and frameworks.
Formulas are grouped together to form a formula.
And it was the ‘frame’ that corrected the equation so that it would not be distorted.
It was an indispensable and important presence in the magic circle.
Ray’s fingers carefully touched the air.
In the empty air where nothing was supposed to be, there was a subtle trembling like waves on the calm surface of the water.
While designing for him, Aira and Heprion Sert’s eyes turned to his fingers.
Thin and long lines meet each other and weave themselves like ropes.
Beyond that, formulas were drawn.
Formulas become shapes by themselves, and shapes become new formulas.
A formula never seen before.
With that formula, a magic circle the size of a fist was created.
There was no form.
It was neither circular nor crescent-shaped, and it was brightly lit.
I embraced the warmth and embraced the incense.
It became wind and became trembling again.
Light.
The trivial magic of Circle 1 was derived from the strange magic circle.
The warm-colored beams of light that subtly illuminated the temple penetrated the three pupils into their hearts.
Chills ran down my spine.
My forearms tingled and the back of my neck felt cold.
An ancient magic circle that I had never seen before in my life.
A warm picture from the days when thoughts and feelings could only be conveyed through pictures.
It bloomed like a flower in Ray’s hand.
* * *
Hafman roared about leaving the office.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! It finally curls its tail. What is the reaction of the Seongguk?”
“I sent a messenger last night, and the atmosphere is at a house of mourning. There will never be any requests to share distribution channels in the future, and there will be fewer embarrassing requests, so I’ll take a break.”
“Of course it should!”
“From the moment we reduced material support, Seongguk has been watching us. If I do well, I think I can get something out of it.”
Halfman chuckled and waved his hand at the manager’s words full of excitement.
“done. If Seongguk gives you something, never accept it.”
At that, the branch manager tilted his head.
“yes? Wouldn’t it be nice to receive something as an expression of apology?”
“The merchant said he lived on credit. If there is going, there will also be coming. By accepting the apology from Seong-guk but not taking the profits, we can make Seong-guk owe a debt. That gift is new blood compared to creating a debt for the Holy Kingdom.”
The manager was moved when Hafman pushed the letter away.
Could it be that they foresaw this far from the time of reducing material support?
Indeed, it was the material that led the Daesangdan.
Normally, I thought he was a pig with nothing on his head, but now I see that he is thoughtful and cautious.
The branch manager bowed his head.
“All right!”
“Increase the amount of supplies supported by the Holy Kingdom a little more than usual. You whipped it hard, so it’s time to give it a carrot.”
He knew how to manipulate people.
The Seongguk, which had made a big mistake against the Hafman Merchant, would be impressed if the Merchant Merchant raised the material support.
In fact, compared to usual, it didn’t mean much, but it would feel like a benefactor from the point of view of the Holy Land, where the amount of goods to be supported was reduced for an instant.
“How much should I raise the supplies?”
“We mainly raise items that cost money and reduce the amount of items that are cheap. When you give it once, you have to give it hotly.”
“All right. There is quite a bit of money earned from intermediary trade with Celia, so there shouldn’t be any problems with going up.”
“With this as an opportunity, we intervene little by little at the top of the castle and establish an exclusive sales network in the castle. They need a boss and we need a new distribution channel, so if you coax them out, things will work out.”
Currently, Seongguk has its own guild, but its size is so weak that it is safe to say that it is a small and medium-sized guild.
It may be because Sanggye collapsed, but it was because the upper ranks left the castle en masse due to the many wars they had experienced.
Hafman was aiming for the vacancy of the departed upper ranks.
If he went in there, he could have devastated the entire distribution route of the Holy Kingdom by himself.
In addition to financial profits, it would be possible to capture many geographical advantages.
He laughed sinisterly as he erected a tower made of gold coins.
“Now is the opportunity to increase Danju’s company to two.”
