The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Magic Swordsman (2)
Just a certain day.
The king of a country heard some news.
“Your Highness, it appears that Lord Musashi challenged the Demon Swordsman, but failed.”
“A magic swordsman…? Why on earth would Musashi challenge a magic swordsman? Musashi is a ‘warrior,’ after all.”
At the time, Wang Hyeon-su could not understand.
Musashi is the one who can draw his sword more powerfully and superiorly than anyone else, and wields the Japanese sword most magnificently.
He simply could not understand why someone like him would walk a path of both magic and swords.
While Lord Musashi was training the guild members, Kenji, who was originally ranked 2nd in Japan, ended up becoming a legendary warrior.
"what……?"
"Originally, Lord Musashi should have ascended that position. However, the time required to train guild members was fatal for a High Ranker, and as a result, he was ultimately deprived of it."
“Damn it… give Musashi a Japanese sword right now….”
“Just leave it alone, Your Majesty.”
“Why are you telling me to stay still?”
"He failed to become a magic swordsman to begin with. He is currently in a state of deep despair. Artifacts alone cannot comfort him at this time."
Hyunsu fully agreed.
“Why did Musashi fail to become a magic swordsman?”
“……Musashi went to find the one who had once risen to the rank of Magic Swordsman, but another user had already taken him away. The Magic Swordsman is, after all, a dual class. Since a Musashi is also part of the Swordsman class lineage, their total MP is inevitably low by nature. The Magic Swordsman class allows one to walk the path of a Magic Swordsman by significantly increasing that MP and drastically boosting the Wisdom and Intelligence stats.”
“Then what happens to Musashi from now on?”
“Unfortunately, Lord Musashi will be on a downward trend for the time being.”
“……Nell. Do your best to find a way for Musashi to become a magic swordsman. It doesn't matter how much it costs. And please commission Cabel as well.”
However, it was not an easy task.
No matter how much money was spent, no matter what information was searched for, or even if ancient books were examined, there was no such possibility.
However, the things dropped by Olio, who fought in the fortress.
This is possible.
Hyunsu was genuinely happy to acquire the countless things he had dropped.
It is because I finally found that method.

Magic Swordsman
He is someone who wields both magic and a sword.
It was the only place Musashi could lean on after failing to become a legendary warrior.
However, Musashi knew how futile that dream was.
Someone had already risen to the Magic Swordsman class, and it was impossible for him to do so no matter what means he used.
There are too many reasons why it is impossible to list them all.
However… … .
Several carrier pigeons flew in at the same time.
A hologram appeared in front of the carrier pigeon that had flown in.
Things reflected as holograms.
They were clearly the wizard's things.
I'll make you a magic swordsman.
So you're saying you'll make me one if I fail to become a magic swordsman?
Musashi did not understand.
I confirmed that it was only reflected as a hologram.

Description: These are magic earrings inherited from the family of the great sorcerer Olio.
Musashi's eyes wavered.
Clearly, a swordsman cannot handle magic together.
This is because swordsmen and wizards are distinctly different.
However, this great sorcerer named Olio.
Unlike ordinary wizards who choose the path of dying and becoming a lich, he chose to become a Death Knight.
They didn't know it, but although Olio was born into a family of magic and possessed natural talent, he admired swordsmen.
He wanted to become a swordsman, but being born into a magic family, he could not wield a sword.
Therefore, he intended to wield the sword even in death.
[The god who loves making smiles broadly at you.]
The meaning of the notification that it will be made.
It means that Hyun-su has been coming to visit all this time.
I mean the way he can become a wizard.
and……
Why are you smiling so broadly?
Hyunsu doesn't know.
The smile I am making right now.
That it is appearing as a message to Musashi.
“What’s with the sudden carrier pigeons? Did you get them as a gift from your king?”
Kenji was puzzled.
The hologram showing the flying carrier pigeon could only be seen by the person involved.
Musashi was covered in blood, and all the 'warriors' fighting alongside him had been forcibly logged out.
The warriors could not protect him because he appeared targeting that point.
But you're laughing?
Have I gone crazy?
“Did you say I was useless now and that my only path left was to fall? You are absolutely right. My only path left was to fall. You took the title of Legendary Warrior from me, and someone has already ascended to the sub-class of Magic Swordsman.……”
“Yes, I am a loser on the decline. Yet, it seems my King sought me out by any means necessary for someone like me.”
There was affection for someone on Musashi's face.
Then, suddenly, Musashi thought.
betrayer.
He had heard about Japan's shame, etc.
Even if I did not receive these things from this Olio from Hyunsu.
Will he regret being with Hyun-soo?
I thought about it carefully, but I came up with an answer.
“I don’t regret it. Never.”
“What have you been babbling to yourself for a while? Have you finally lost your mind?”
At that spot, they realized the ideal.
A single heart rises before Musashi and seeps into him.
[MP increases by 10,000, and Wisdom and Intelligence increase by 1,000.]
Ding!
[Something amazing happens.]
[Although you are a Swordsman, you meet the conditions to learn magic by acquiring MP comparable to a high-level mage, along with 1,000 Wisdom and 1,000 Intelligence.]
[Unreasonable things happen that don't fit the class.]
I wore purple olio earrings.
[Total MP increases by 100%, and MP recovery speed increases by 2 times.]
[Secures a higher total MP than most high-level wizards.]
Musashi grabbed the Japanese sword he had been holding in both hands with one hand and let it hang down.
He held a very old, worn-out brown zelkova walking stick in his left hand.
Various reasons why a prosecutor cannot become a wizard.
Olio's Mana Heart compensated for the fact that the Swordsman's total MP is only 20% of that of the Wizard.
The Magic Earrings compensated for the fact that the Swordsman's natural MP regeneration rate is naturally much slower than that of the Mage.
The biggest problem is that the Swordsman cannot use the magic book because it is 'restricted'.
The absolute limitations of the system were complemented by Olio's Zelkova Staff's ability to use Class 1-3 magic.
The fact that wielding both a sword and magic at the same time is nearly impossible was made possible by the fact that the Zelkova staff allows for dual-wielding weapons.
[It is determined that you have entered a new class.]
[The system starts analyzing the class to assign you a new class.]
[Analysis rate 2%… …]
[4%… … ]
[6… … %]
This is the notification I have been wanting so much.
And Musashi was seeing a list of the spells he would be able to use in the future, as well as spells that could be combined.
"cane……?"
"You're holding weapons with both hands?"
The users of the Blue Sword Sect, including Kenji, were flustered.
The faint blue aura floating on the old, worn staff was clearly tremendous magical power.
also.
The transcendent artifact was still enough to change someone's life.
Of course, they didn't know what transcendence was yet…
A user of the Blue Sword Sect, sweating profusely, stealthily placed his hand on the grip of the sword.
"Can they use magic? But don't wizards get defenseless when they get close to swordsmen?"
Wizards are reluctant to get close to swordsmen.
This is because magic takes time to cast and the total HP of mages was relatively low.
A user of the Blue Sword Sect drew their sword in a surprise attack.
Slow.
Mushishi, realizing that there was already a user ready to swing a sword, aimed his staff.
[Magic Resistance drops below 90%!]
“……?”
The user was flustered. Quickly drawing a sword and slashing an enemy like a flash is called 'Baldo.'
However, he slowly extended his sword stance like a turtle, and Musashi, who had dragged the staff he used behind him, swung the Japanese sword held in his right hand.
Sigh-!
“……!”
Kenji and the Blue Sword Sect were taken aback by how seamlessly everything flowed.
Using a staff to prevent Slow from reaching him, he immediately swung the Japanese sword in his other hand and forcibly logged out the user.
[Cow: Kenji, what's going on? From what we've found out, didn't Musashi fail to obtain a sub-class?]
Subclass.
It means handling two classes.
[Kenji: Judging by the carrier pigeon that just flew in and Musashi's words, it seems User Hyunsu made it that way. The items Musashi is wearing right now are the staff and earrings worn by Olio that we saw on the broadcast.]
[Krong:… … Are you saying that a user actually assigned a new class to another user, just like Musashi just said!?]
[Kenji: Probably.]
Kenji shouldn't have said that.
The 100 or so members of the Blue Sword Sect have been treating Musashi like an idiot.
Because, despite having abandoned Japan, it was on a downward trend.
However, seeing Hyunsu, who helped him obtain the Dual Class, he began to wonder if what Musashi had done was actually right.
However, one user raised an issue.
[Cow: … … Doesn't the user have trouble using it right after reaching that class? It looks like it would get tangled.]
The Blue Sword Sect members, wary of Musashi, realized their mistake.
That was true.
However, Kenji denied it.
He knew because he was a fellow high-ranker.
[Kenji: Not at all.]
[Cow: What do you mean, not?]
[Kenji: Bahala is known as the strongest when it comes to swordsmanship. However, the High Rankers know the real truth. Bahala possesses a genius-level gaming sense and control skills, but in terms of understanding and skill with a sword, he is merely second best.]
[Cow: … … Then who is the number one?]
[Kenji: Isn't it right in front?]
The user Kauran was flustered.
"Musashi is the world's number one when it comes to swordsmanship…?"
[Kenji: And yet, Musashi ended up using magic.]
