The Book Eating Magician

Chapter 160

Normally, people thought that magic was an ability which depended on talent. However, in actuality, there was no system which didn’t depend on what people were born with.

If one’s muscle density and bone density weren’t high, it was difficult to endure the pressure from aura. Additionally, the strength of the blood vessels which aura flowed through was a problem which couldn’t be overcome. Moreover, there was also the issue of a person’s talent in swordsmanship.

Given the fact that Theodore, with his minimal magic sensitivity, had been able to reach the 2nd Circle, then aura could be called a wall of harsh talent. For some people, it was impossible for them to use it.

“It is called pulmonary vasculitis.”

It was a constitution Baek Dongil had been born with, in which parts of his blood vessels were blocked. It wouldn’t kill him, but it was a fatal flaw for someone who had been born as a descendant of a warrior.

He had decided to go on the path of a shaman to get rid of the stigma, but it was hard to even find magic books, let alone a proper mentor. When Baek Dongil felt like he was swimming on the ground, a light shone in front of him.

“Then one day, I was able to see a path.”

Seeing a magician whom his father praised…

This person had a strength which allowed a magician to face a sword master. It was a youthful and dignified appearance from someone who was only a few years older than him. That had been the moment when his notion that a shaman could never surpass a warrior had shattered.

Baek Dongil’s heart beat wildly as he recalled the scene. He tried to regain his voice as he bowed to Theodore again.

“Sir! I don’t dare hope to become your disciple. Please give me one lesson!”

“…I would also like to ask that of you.” Baek Jongmyung walked next to his son and bowed respectfully. Baek Dongil looked at his father with puzzled eyes.

However, Baek Jongmyung continued in a heartfelt voice, “He might be a foolish son, but he has a good head. It is fine while you stay in this country. In the name of the Baek Family, I will be sure to repay Sir Ted.”

“Father…”

A sword master, who was treated like a noble in any country, was bowing like this to Theodore.

In the meantime, Baek Jongmyung had only been a strict father. Therefore, Baek Dongil’s eyes couldn’t help turning red. To Baek Jongmyung, Dongil was a precious child, so he couldn’t help feeling sick at his pain.

Theodore raised his hands like it couldn’t be helped. “Phew… Please sit comfortably.”

Shortly after that, he looked at Baek Dongil and said, “Young Master Baek.”

“Yes.”

“From now on, I will treat you as a magician and not a member of the Baek Family. Will you accept that?”

Theodore’s voice was firm, causing Baek Dongil to respond in a trembling voice, “S-Sir! Does this mean…”

“It is too early to be pleased. There are many different parts between shamanism and magic. I will teach you a few things that you need to know.”

“I will do whatever you tell me!” Baek Dongil’s eyes shone as he responded. Now, he thought he could be one of the pillars of the family, even if he couldn’t use aura. Of course, such a pillar was useless to Theodore.

“I want you to bring all the books about shamanism that you have collected so far. If you have anything related to shamanism in your luggage, bring it to my room. The sooner the better.”
