Chapter 246: Job Change (1)

Under normal circumstances, I would have already resumed exploring, but Ludwig gave me some advice.

He told me that until I completely mastered distance control and could properly handle my new power, I should avoid exploring whenever possible.

It had been two days since I started training to master distance control and undergo all kinds of training.

Obtaining the Aura Blade after undergoing the Body Reconstruction was great, but if I didn’t know how to control it, it would end up doing me more harm than good.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“#$@%%”

I completely agreed, so I kept training over and over until I adapted.

[He says that besides judging distance, you need to go back and practice the fundamentals from the very beginning.]

Besides, now that my aura was no longer a mist but had a defined shape, judging its reach wasn’t particularly difficult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Even so, Ludwig insisted that I devote even more time to the basics.

“But I’ve been practicing the fundamentals this whole time.”

And when I asked him why, he gave me an answer that even I thought was excellent.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“@@$%^%.”

[It’s far more important to be able to unleash 50% of your strength with 100% certainty than to unleash 150% with only a 50% chance of succeeding.]

“#%@@#%.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

[Unless your life is truly in danger, never gamble. abstract That’s excellent advice.]

My rate of growth was far from normal.

Just as Cain said, Ludwig always gave me advice that genuinely helped me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

The difference between possessing an Aura Blade and not possessing one wasn’t simply an increase in power.

It meant entering the realm of superhumans.

Things would have been different before, but now I had even obtained the Aura Blade, so learning to control it was essential.

Although, to be honest, I should have undergone the Body Reconstruction much earlier, so overall, I hadn’t changed that much.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“#@%#@₩?”

But that was exactly why mastering the fundamentals was indispensable.

I had only grown a little taller and broader.

The only truly significant difference was the Aura Blade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“?”

[To put it bluntly, what do you think would happen if a gorilla with a brain tumor wielded an Aura Blade?]

“Are you saying I’m a gorilla with a brain tumor?”

Hearing that conversation, Lackey, who was nearby, looked over at us.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Since he heard the word “gorilla,” he probably thought we were talking about him.

“#%^^$.”

Ludwig stared at him for a moment before turning back to me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Now that’s going too far. ability Though I understand exactly what you mean.”

[Even that white gorilla has excellent fundamentals. canvas As for you…]

If we limited it strictly to the fundamentals, I was probably the weakest person here.

The truth was that, if we were talking purely about martial arts, I was far below Lackey’s level.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

If I wasn’t careful, I could even end up hitting my own companions.

That’s why controlling my power was essential.

But calling me a gorilla with a brain tumor was going too far.

In any case, the lack of experience was a huge problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Any warrior who had gone through proper training would already have mastered that.

Above all, I needed to be able to regulate my aura freely, even in unexpected situations. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

But not me.

I had obtained the Aura Blade while skipping all those steps, so I’d have to work much harder than everyone else.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Not even Ludwig had anticipated something like this.

After all, I had awakened mana only a month ago.

‘Now I understand why he trained the Hero too. orbit He’s incredibly good at explaining things.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

She acted like a complete idiot in the Gallery, but she was probably very different in person.

Just how strong was Asella, the Hero he had trained?

HeavenlyDemon and Swordmaster were excellent instructors as well, but being taught directly made the comparison inevitable.

The more I learned from Ludwig, the more I realized what an extraordinary teacher he was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

‘He said I should feel as though I were wielding a weapon that fit perfectly in my hand.’

According to him, the ideal point was to reach the stage where I felt that I was the one controlling the aura.

Following Ludwig’s instructions, I began practicing aura control.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, that was for a “normal” person.

Aside from abnormal weapons like Mithrilicon’s sword, aura normally covered only the blade of the sword.

“It’s huge.”

“Yes, it’s huge.”

But I wasn’t normal.

Hummm.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And it was incredibly long.

As I had already seen before, my aura was absurdly large.

It looked more like a gigantic club than a blade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

My aura was on another level.

Even when it had only been a mist, I had suspected it, but if we were talking purely about quantity.

Roughly the length of two HeavenlyDemon swords placed end to end.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“If I swing this carelessly, I think something really bad could happen.”

“…..”

And that wasn’t even taking into account that the Forest of Four Seasons retained mana.

If that limitation disappeared, it would probably become something unimaginable.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

There were always several trees nearby.

Apparently, Ludwig completely agreed.

He slowly nodded.

Because of the forest’s terrain, open spaces were extremely rare.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Maintaining my aura in the shape of a giant hot dog.

‘First, I should check how powerful it is.’

If I cut them all down in a single swing, they’d only get in the way.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

I stood in front of a tree.

A giant club.

No.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Its durability and cutting power increased tremendously, and the deeper its color, the greater its power.

Mist was one thing.

But an Aura Blade was a monstrous weapon in its own right.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

There was only one way to find out.

‘Even though it looks like a club, will it really cut?’

Carefully bringing the aura toward the tree.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And slowly swung the sword.

Since there was a chance it would actually be HeavenlyDemon’s sword doing the cutting, I made sure that only the portion formed by the aura touched the trunk.

Then I took a deep breath.

Slash.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And it cut cleanly. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

It did cut.

“…Huh?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

In other words.

The problem was that the tree had been cut away with exactly the same thickness as the aura club.

Everything the aura had touched disappeared completely.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Once it had finished falling, I stared at the aura club.

As it fell, I stepped back to keep a safe distance.

Craaack.

With its entire middle section gone, the tree lost its balance and came crashing down.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

But this had been a perfect cut.

If it had simply smashed it apart, that would still have made sense.

Everything the aura had touched had been cleanly severed.

‘So this entire thick part is the blade?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

I immediately pulled my hand back and looked at my finger.

I cut myself instantly.

Driven by curiosity, I carefully brought my index finger toward the aura.

“Aaaaagh!!!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Thank goodness I had pulled my finger away immediately.

Tiny drops of blood began to well up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t help but be amazed.

Otherwise, it could have been dangerous.

Was the power of an Aura Blade really this terrifying?

“Mister Ludwig. amber Is this supposed to be normal?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“…..”

But judging by Ludwig’s expression, it didn’t seem to be.

“…Mister Ludwig?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

I’d spent all this time practicing distance control and aura control, so what was so strange about it?

He stared at me with a furrowed brow, as if this was completely beyond his expectations.

I carefully dismissed the aura and waited for him to finally speak.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

[He’s asking if that’s really what you were trying to do.]

“……#%%^%?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Hummm.

Then he walked over to the entrance of the cave and brought back Mithrilicon’s sword.

What the hell was wrong with it?

Seeing the confusion on my face, Ludwig looked around.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

That didn’t mean its power had diminished.

A faint Aura Blade enveloped Mithrilicon’s sword.

Under normal circumstances, it should have been much larger, but because of the Forest of Four Seasons’ mana suppression, this was its limit.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Cutting down a tree was no problem for him.

After all, Ludwig was the one wielding it.

Tap.

He walked over to the tree I had cut down and rested the sword against the trunk.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

Unlike mine, Ludwig’s sword didn’t pass smoothly through the tree.

I had been completely mistaken.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Slash.

Of course, that only happened because he wasn’t applying any force.

It stopped halfway through the cut, as though something had blocked it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Even so, the difference compared to my result was enormous.

When Ludwig put a little more strength into it, the tree was cut as easily as a sheet of paper.

“#$%^^&.”

[Even among Aura Blades, power varies depending on the amount of aura and one’s level of mastery. adjust Right now, I can only use about thirty percent of my aura.]

[He said that when he first arrived in this forest, he couldn’t even use ten percent.]

“That’s more than I expected.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

In any case, there was only one thing Ludwig was trying to tell me.

That had probably changed after eating the golden acorn muk.

At least, that was my theory.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Just as the amount of my aura was abnormal.

Cutting ability was proportional to the amount of aura, and mine had reached an absurd level.

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

So was its cutting power.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah…”

“All of us.”

“We’ll die.”

“Me?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

It was exactly the same advice he had given me before.

Normally, those trees were incredibly tough.

The only reason that tree had been cut so easily was because I’d used my aura.

If I wasn’t careful, I could cause a disaster on an enormous scale.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And if merely brushing against them was enough to cut them down.

What would happen to an animal?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

It could practically be considered a demonic sword.

“#%%%@#.”

Besides, HeavenlyDemon’s sword was already an extraordinarily powerful weapon on its own.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Why not try reducing the amount of aura?

In response to my complaint, Ludwig made a suggestion.

“Then what am I supposed to do? matrix I can’t just stop using aura.”

[He says you’re a demonic sword yourself.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

The first step was to shrink that ridiculous size.

Of course, if my fundamentals had been excellent, it would have been a different story.

Only then could I at least somewhat avoid causing a disaster every time I swung the sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“Is this the smallest it gets?”

But according to Ludwig, I wasn’t even on the level of that supposed gorilla with a brain tumor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“No.”

“You can’t reduce it any further?”

The problem was that even after shrinking it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Its size remained almost the same.

It still looked like a club.

And I had no idea how to reduce it any further.

It had only lost some of its color intensity.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

He stood there motionless, his mouth slightly open.

If even someone who had trained a Hero and countless paladins was struggling to deal with me…

Apparently, even Ludwig had never seen anything like it before.

“…At least keep trying to reduce it.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Well, there wasn’t any other choice.

“Yes.”

If I couldn’t do it, sooner or later I’d end up causing a catastrophe.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And if it didn’t work, we’d look for another solution.

I’d try first.

Let’s compress it as much as possible.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

But remembering Swordmaster’s advice, I gradually started getting the hang of it.

I focused all my attention on compressing the Aura Blade to its limit. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

At first, it was extremely difficult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

It was like trying to force a very elastic object into a box that was far too small and then shutting the lid.

It was unsettling.

The problem was that it felt like I was forcing it into shape.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Hummm.

Now it was around one and a half times the length of HeavenlyDemon’s sword.

Even so, after trying again and again, I managed to reduce it to about half its original size.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And it was much thinner as well.

Just as I was about to show him my compressed Aura Blade.

“Mister Ludwig. riddle Will this be enough now…?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps because I was too focused on controlling it.

Hummmmmm!!!

Or perhaps because I had pushed it to its limit.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

HeavenlyDemon’s sword began vibrating violently.

As if the aura had turned into a jack-in-the-box, it suddenly exploded.

If it had only shot straight upward, I wouldn’t even be telling this story.

Fwoooosh!!!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

It completely separated from HeavenlyDemon’s sword and started flying everywhere.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

The real problem was that the aura shot out in every direction.

Fwoosh! agent Fwoosh! arena Fwoooosh!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

But there was a far more serious problem.

“Aaaaagh!!!”

Fortunately, each fragment was small and pale in color.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“Peeeep!! avalanche Peeeep!!”

“Kyuuuuu!!!”

Boom! august Bam! advance Craaash!!

“Uoooh!!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

HeavenlyDemon’s sword kept trembling as aura blasted out in every direction.

I couldn’t control it.

The shelter instantly descended into complete chaos.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

But.

Thinking things would only get worse, I let go of HeavenlyDemon’s sword.

Faced with that unexpected disaster, all the animals fled desperately for safety.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Bzzzzzzzzzz!!! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

That only made it worse.

In the end, I had no choice but to grab it again.

The sword even started spinning like a top, spraying aura everywhere.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

The first priority was getting away from the shelter to prevent an even greater disaster.

As I ran between the trees, aura continued shooting off in every direction.

“Aaagh, damn it!! attic What the hell is going on?!”

The moment I caught it, I took off running toward the forest in desperation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

“…What the hell am I even doing?”

The only ones who ended up paying the price were the poor trees.

Only after running around like a madman for quite a while did the sword finally calm down.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Becoming strong isn’t… Becoming a normal person is much harder.

“I’m sorry!”

I had just realized that being strong and being normal were two completely different things.

The moment I returned to the shelter, I apologized immediately.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig looked over the shelter, now completely devastated.

***

More than being speechless.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Everyone had reacted quickly and taken shelter inside the brick house and the cave.

The tools he had carefully organized were scattered everywhere, and several structures had suffered considerable damage.

He was dumbfounded.

At least no one in the group had been injured.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

The fragments of aura flying off Grills’ sword weren’t powerful enough to cut through stone.

‘In all my life, I’ve never seen anything like this.’

People unable to control their aura like Grills?

Ludwig had trained countless knights, so he was accustomed to all kinds of unexpected accidents.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

And Grills had only compressed a relatively small amount.

But he had never witnessed a compressed Aura Blade exploding and scattering aura fragments in every direction.

He had seen a few.

Yes.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

‘What if he actually manages to control this someday…?”

He didn’t even want to imagine it.

If it had been more.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

‘He has to succeed.’

The person responsible for such a disaster, Grills, was silently rebuilding the shelter.

As he stroked his chin, Ludwig turned his head.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Since time immemorial, the most dangerous enemy had always been the one fighting on your side.

‘Otherwise, my own life will be in danger.’

After all.

Ludwig resolved to train him even more diligently.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 246: Job Change (1) by Indra Translations.

Although, in this case, the meaning was a little different.
