Third Job (5)

“It’s visible on the wall and the bed.”

“...”

“Shall I start with the wall?”

“Yes.”

“By any chance, is the person using the room next door Mr. White… is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s right, but…”

“Mr. White seems to have a bit of a mischievous side.”

I started to get an idea of what it might be.

From the beginning, during the tutorial, I had seen Jeong Hyeon use an illusion spell to create a wall.

However, it was quite shocking that I hadn’t noticed the wall had completely changed.

I tentatively touched the wall with my hand, but what I felt was a real wall, not an illusion.

‘Maybe it hasn’t completely changed?’

It was clearly a normal wall. When I looked at Hwang Jeong-yeon with a slightly puzzled expression, she spoke with a delighted voice.

“The wall hasn’t completely changed. Instead, there’s a small hole.”

“Huh?”

“Try putting your finger in here, and you’ll understand what I mean.”

She slowly guided me with her finger, as if trying to maintain a safe distance.

When I tentatively inserted my finger into the spot she indicated, it easily penetrated the wall, which was quite shocking.

It was absurd to think I had lived without knowing about this hole. Only after touching it with my hand did I realize the presence of magic.

“How could I not have noticed…?”

“It’s because the magic is very subtle. And since the room itself is already surrounded by magic, it’s not surprising that you didn’t notice. Moreover, you don’t seem to be particularly sensitive to magic… Besides, this hole seems to have been created not long ago.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. It seems to have been less than a month… I don’t know why Mr. White wanted to spy on your room, but I can guess roughly. Hehehe.”

“Ah… Yes.”

It could be considered a fortunate turn of events amidst the misfortune.

Of course, I don’t remember doing anything improper in this room, but the thought that Jeong Hyeon might have seen everything I did made me feel uneasy.

I even came out naked after showering and lay down on the bed.

It was a bit uncomfortable, but if she could understand, then it was something I could accept.

‘It’s my fault, after all.’

I never thought it would develop to this extent, but it was I who brought Jeong Hyeon to this side.

This is something I have to endure.

In a way, it’s fortunate that it ended up being just this much. Just as I nodded to myself, her voice immediately cut in.

“Actually, the most amazing thing is this bed.”

“The bed?”

“This is an item that could be called a new revolution in the field of magic.”

“Ah…”

Seeing her enjoy it as if it were someone else’s business made me feel a bit bitter.

However, the look in her eyes, which clearly showed how truly amazing this bed was, suggested that it contained something I couldn’t even imagine.

When I glanced at her, Hwang Jeong-yean’s face, ready to speak, came into view.

“It’s a fatigue recovery spell.”

“I see.”

“It’s not just that. It can check your condition and has various spells cast on it. There are so many that I can’t explain them all. From spells that boost vitality to those that speed up brain function and blood circulation. It also has security spells and protective spells that can protect you if something happens. Even if a large-scale spell were to hit this guild house, you would probably be safe. Given that the spells are magic, you must have slept like a log on this bed. You probably never felt tired after waking up… Is that right?”

“Yes… I think so. I’ve felt refreshed at times.”

“Of course, with a bed like this, it’s natural that your fatigue would be completely gone. It’s so romantic….”

It made me feel a bit warm, even though it was a small thing.

I thought there might be some kind of magic on it that I couldn’t imagine, but I didn’t expect it to be this kind.

What was particularly surprising was that the type of magic Jeong Hyeon had cast was an enchantment.

“So, you’re saying that the bed itself has magic cast on it? That’s….”

“Yes, it’s impossible. Even if it were possible, it wouldn’t be efficient. Inserting a spell into an object, rather than a human, is something that has already been abandoned by many schools of thought.”

“Yes. Most items with item effects are finished products from this continent. I’ve personally investigated various aspects of this.”

“That’s why I said it’s revolutionary. If the position tracking spell on you is described as a paper-level technique, the magic on this bed has the potential to shake the field of magic and even create a new school of thought. It’s something a newcomer who has only been here for less than a year has achieved. As someone who studies and researches magic, it’s almost a feeling of self-loathing.”

“...”

“Of course, there are limitations.”

I thought it was inevitable.

No matter how talented Jeong Hyeon might be, it was unlikely that he had perfectly practicalized enchantment technology.

It was a research area that all the magicians here had given up on.

“This magic only activates for you.”

“I understand.”

“Yes. I think he probably used a catalyst to achieve this. By using a part of your body as a catalyst, he compressed the magic, compressed it again, and created a spell that only affects you. If it were to affect everyone, it wouldn’t be able to contain this level of magic, and the efficiency would be much lower. This bed is meant for you alone.”

“I see. Even so….”

“It’s easier to understand if I explain it as the magic being possible because the genetic information in the catalyst matches the genetic information you have.”

I could understand to some extent.

“The second point is that it needs to be recharged.”

“Yes.”

“At least once a month, the person who cast the spell needs to input magic power. Given that the magic has been maintained so far, it seems you’ve spent a lot of time together on this bed. Hehehe.”

“...”

“Another point.”

“Please tell me.”

“To be precise, the magic isn’t on the bed itself. As I mentioned, it uses a catalyst. Hmm. Could you flip the mattress over? Or there should be a space somewhere….”

“Yes, of course.”

If what she said was true, there must be a device maintaining the magic power in this bed.

I hadn’t thoroughly searched the bed yet. I saw something white embedded inside the mattress.

‘A tooth?’

“I thought it would be like this… It’s real. Is this one of your teeth, Ki-yeong?”

“Yes, it probably is.”

“You can understand it as the information stored in this catalyst maintaining the magic for you.”

“Of course. This is… similar.”

“You’re an expert in this area, right?”

“I wouldn’t call myself an expert.”

‘This method is definitely similar to alchemy.’

It’s not a simple magic.

Even if it’s an artifact that only works for me, it’s not just a matter of matching magic power waves.

The magic can only be activated because the overall information of the human named Ki-yeong and the information of the tooth used as a catalyst match.

It’s hard to imagine how much effort was put into discovering this kind of method.

‘Wow…’

Thinking a bit more, this method perfectly aligns with the direction I want to grow in.

The idea of mixing various spells with a catalyst and using genetic information is also relevant.

Research on homunculi, chimeras, and even magic potions.

No matter which direction I take, it’s the best material I can use.

‘This is amazing…’

Of course, the methods will be different.

Jeong Hyeon approached it magically, while I need to approach it through alchemy.

However, in terms of using catalysts and genetic information, I have more knowledge.

In other words, it opens up a completely different direction of research, even though the method is the same.

It felt like all this was arranged by Jeong Hyeon.

‘This can work.’

It definitely can.

I’m not starting from scratch.

The results of countless experiments and efforts are right in front of me.

If I focus solely on research, it’s a near-perfect textbook that could take years to achieve.

It would be strange not to be excited.

“Seems like you’re happy. Oh, my.”

“Ah… Yes. Honestly, I feel good….”

“You should be happy. There’s another hidden amazing function of this bed.”

“Another one?”

“Yes. It’s called a Reverse spell.”

“Ah.”

“It has a debuff that reverses all these buffs. The target, of course….”

“...”

“Is anyone except you. It will probably activate when someone gets close to the bed or lies on it. Of course, for others, the effect won’t be significant because the catalyst and information values don’t match, but even a low-level curse is still a curse. I almost got into trouble when I sat on it. If this magic were to be researched and developed for about 10 years… perhaps any woman other than you who lies on this bed might die from a high-level curse.”

“So that’s why you asked me to carry the bed.”

“Yes. It’s a cute message from White, saying not to bring other women to this bed, isn’t it? So romantic.”

It’s not romantic at all.

Actually, it’s a bit scary.

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes. This is all I can find with my eyes. If you start researching seriously, the results might be different, but I’m confident there’s almost no other magical knowledge besides what I’ve mentioned. I’m a somewhat capable magician, after all.”

“Thank you.”

It was a strange and unusual time, but the results weren’t bad.

More than the fact that Jeong Hyeon had made various arrangements for me, I was happy that a path for growth had opened up.

Of course, I need to take prompt action regarding this matter, but for now, growth is more urgent.

My room feels like a dungeon or a ruin where the truth is hidden.

The magic on my body and the bed are both top-notch research materials.

It’s a bit of a happy feeling to be able to conduct research in such a perfect situation.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the gift Jeong Hyeon gave me is like a cup of water given to me when I was thirsty.

The cup is a bit complex and cramped, making it hard to drink, but once that problem is solved, it’s just a matter of drinking.

Looking at the bed with a happy smile, the tooth embedded in one corner seemed endearing.

‘A tooth?’

A question popped into my head for a moment.

“Excuse me, by the way.”

“Yes.”

“Does the fact that my location is being transmitted to White mean that she has a part of my body?”

“Yes.”

‘What…’

I was sure she must have the tooth I lost.

If it wasn’t that, it was hard to imagine what she could have.

My hair is still there, and I don’t remember having my blood drawn.

Moreover, it’s natural that Jeong Hyeon wouldn’t have injured my body.

I didn’t have any flesh missing or another tooth lost.

‘What does she have?’

For monsters, the parts used as catalysts are very diverse.

Teeth and clumps of hair, as well as blood and eyeballs containing magic power, are possible.

The heart is the most effective, and even bones and organs can help.

For certain monsters, saliva and, for males, bodily fluids can also be effective, but it was hard to guess what Jeong Hyeon had taken.

I thought of a few highly likely possibilities, but I didn’t really want to imagine them.

It wasn’t a pleasant scene to imagine.

‘Surely… not that?’

I was curious about what part of my body she had as a catalyst, but obviously, there was no way for me to know.

Whatever it was, the feeling of unease wouldn’t change.

‘It can’t be…’
