Mana Circle and Aura Core.
The two skills that amplify a Climber’s combat power have something in common.
They cannot be obtained as rewards for clearing trials.
The only way to acquire them is through the enlightenment gained from training.
Even if one trains under the guidance of Tower residents or Constellations, mastering them is no easy feat.
It is similar to a creature born without wings attempting to wield wings.
It is akin to a person born blind attempting to see the world.
Perceiving and accepting a new sense.
This was the commonality of the two skills, and no matter how talented one might be, it was a difficult task that would take at least a full month, but...
Han Yuyeon had simultaneously mastered both skills in a mere hour.
This drove the Constellations mad.

The kid was trying to engrave a Mana Circle but awakened an Aura Core at the same time?
I thought I was the best at explaining here, but I feel a wall
Halarchive << As expected, he’s called a Sage for a reason
Once he got serious, his presence was insane;;
- Real talk, when he shot a meteor at me he was just a shitty old man, but looking back now he’s fucking cool lol
- Taking the grandpa seat first already gave him insane Sage force
- Is it just that Yuyeon's talent is crazy?
ㄴ She has outstanding talent so she absorbed it well, yeah. No matter how much of a genius, doing that alone is impossible
ㄴ Halarchive) I merely taught her the basics of the Mana Circle.
ㄴ ??
ㄴ ???
ㄴ What does that mean, Gramps
Halarchive’s remark amplified the Constellations’ interest even further.
[Title: That’s my granddaughter.]
Author: Halarchive
(Image of Han Yuyeon munching on grass)
A genius who engraves a Mana Circle on her own after being taught only the basics.
On top of that, a genius among geniuses who simultaneously awakens an Aura Core.
Perfect with a cute appearance and proper manners—that is my granddaughter.
Hahaha
- He really only taught her the basics and she did it herself?
- SpearResearchLab) LooseTL) After teaching her roughly, Yuyeon is calling me Grandpa and acting cute
ㄴ Is that even a loose translation?
- Then in the end Yuyeon did well on her own, so why is he claiming credit?
ㄴ Real talk, Gramps being excited is annoying
- No matter how outstanding the talent, does that even make sense?
ㄴ Han Yuyeon makes it possible
ㄴ You still don’t know Han Yuyeon?
ㄴ Ah!! If this was going to happen, I should’ve taught her!!
With Halarchive’s additional cringe posts on top of that, the Gallery began to burn up again.
[Seriously, with Yuyeon's talent, is breaking Hell 100th Floor possible?]
[What happens if we park Yuyeon on the 1st floor and keep teaching her?]
[This year’s MVP = The Tower that dragged Han Yuyeon into Hell difficulty]
[After watching talentless kids drop dead, seeing Han Yuyeon is entertaining...]
[We should’ve kidnapped a kid like this from the start]
The greatest talent in history and a cute appearance that stimulates protective instincts.
On top of that, a Maid Class that can learn anything without restrictions.
When these three things aligned, the Constellations joined forces.
[Han Yuyeon << She’s just our daughter]
Han Yuyeon had suddenly gained many parents.
***
Until the Constellations’ messages arrived, she decided to check the skills she had obtained first.
「Mana Circle (E): Circulation. It is the foundation of magic.
- You may cast 1st Circle magic.」
「Aura Core (E): Reinforcement. It is the foundation of aura.
- You may cast 1st Core reinforcement techniques.」
I see. Thank you for the short and kind explanation.
Believing that the Tower was watching from somewhere, she bowed her head in greeting.
I had become a cool Magic Swordsman.
"V."
There is something a Magic Swordsman must do first.
Gripping the wooden sword, she stood directly before the max-level tree.
Then, she rotated the Circle and imagined flames.
Objective. Evolve the wooden sword into a fire sword.
When she poured all the mana from the Circle into it, she felt something.
Huh. The wooden sword’s appearance...?
Badum-badum. Nothing happened.
"Hmm."
It wasn’t easy. How does one ignite a flame?
She knew how to rotate the Circle but didn’t know how to cast magic.
Tower-nim. Your explanation is too unkind. I take back my thanks. Thank you.
As a second choice, let’s try using aura instead.
She gathered power from the Core situated in her heart.
The status window had said it. That she could cast 1st Core reinforcement techniques.
What she wanted to reinforce was the wooden sword.
She needed a max-level wooden sword capable of facing the max-level tree.
Please lend me your strength, Mr. Wooden Sword.
When she spoke with determination, with a crack, Mr. Wooden Sword broke.
"Eek."
Could it be that he noticed I was trying to attack his kin, Mr. Wooden Sword...?
He was far more loyal than she thought.
Indeed. He hadn’t spent enough time building friendship with her to betray his kin and stand by her side.
Then she just needed to build friendship starting now.
She gripped the half-broken Mr. Woo/den Sword again.
"I’ll become a dual-wielding master."
[The Watcher of the Blade Realm stops you in shock.]
"Oh. Constellation-nim. I awakened an Aura Core too."
[The Watcher of the Blade Realm bestows a blessing upon you.]
A fish fell.
She suddenly wondered—how do the Constellations prepare and send these fish every time?
For now, she read the letters engraved on the fish’s scales.
- Daughter. Dual wielding is not allowed.
"Why?"
- It is the symbol of certain defeat.
"Why?"
[The Watcher of the Blade Realm holds his head.]
"Why?"
[Numerous Constellations gaze upon you fondly.]
"??"
Rustle, rustle.
Since she didn’t plan to eat them right away, she put the fish into her subspace.
[Paggwang Fish (A) has been stored in the subspace.]
She needed to find out how to take things out of the subspace quickly too, but when would she?
What could the condition be? While she was pondering, an enormous amount of blessings fell from the sky.
[Numerous Constellations bestow blessings upon you.]
"Eek."
She checked the rapidly falling ingredients one by one.
Vegetables. Fruit. Meat. Grass.
In the rain of blessings that cannot be blocked with an umbrella, what she wished for was only one thing.
Expand vision with mana, strengthen vision with aura.
The vision that had become even clearer showed her reality.
'Chicken... there’s none...?'
How can this be.
She couldn’t help but collapse and cry, whimpering.
[Numerous Constellations express concern.]
But I am Han Yuyeon. The authority on flexible application.
She would somehow make something similar to chicken.
I’ll become a cooking master.
For that, I need a kitchen.
I’ll become a construction master.
For that, I need wood.
I’ll become a woodcutting master.
She sprang up and gripped the two halves of the broken wooden swords in both hands.
The so-called Maid Dual-Wield Mode.
Standing before the tree, she wrapped mana around one hand and aura around the other.
And a chain strike.
With a crack, the wooden swords broke.
"Hmm."
She clenched her fists properly.
And a chain strike.
With a smack, the max-level tree broke.
The max-level tree could no longer be her opponent.
"VV."
Victory of the dual-wielding maid.
The historians will record today’s victory.
While basking in the feeling of victory, she looked at the broken tree and realized.
Like this, she couldn’t use it as lumber.
Having become too strong, her body had become unable to acquire lumber.
What to do about this.
As she rolled her eyes thinking, she saw the gifts the Constellations had sent.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t greeted them.
How could she be so rude.
Although a bit late, she bowed deeply toward the sky.
"Thank you. I will eat well..."
[Numerous Constellations cheer.]
When she bowed, she saw words written on the gifts.
They weren’t simple gifts but letters.
She read them one by one.
- Yuyeon is my famous wife
"?"
- Yuyeon, do you want to see me go crazy? Who told you to be so fucking cute
"??"
- Yuyeon, call me Father too. It is my lifelong wish.
"Father?"
[The Hand That Grants Form cheers wildly.]
Wow. Fathers doubled.
She was rewarded double in this life because she didn’t have one in her previous life.
She read the next letter.
- I am Yuyeon's famous dad
"... Dad?"
[The Scribe Who Refused Oblivion cheers wildly.]
The word "Dad" sounded nice too. She already had three fathers.
Having three fathers is great!
- Yuyeon, no matter what you think of me, I will think of you as my daughter
- Our daughter, do whatever you want ^^
- I had no intention of taking a mortal as my child, but I think of you as my child
She had become rich in parents!
... Then what exactly does the family relationship look like?
Had she entered a messy family drama like the ones on TV?
Hmm. Whatever it was, she felt good.
With hope, she asked the sky.
"By any chance, is there no chicken?"
[Numerous Constellations express confusion.]
Drip. Tears fell.
She became sad again.
***
Han Yuyeon shed tears.
Because there is no such thing as chicken.
This was a bombshell dropped on the Constellation Gallery.
[Fuuuuck what the hell is chicken]
[What’s the point of becoming a Constellation... not even knowing what chicken is...]
[Could it be some profound slang?]
[My world just collapsed]
[If I say Yuyeon looks pretty even when crying in this atmosphere, what happens?]
What is chicken.
The Constellations were confused by a name that sounded vaguely familiar yet like something they were hearing for the first time.

Because the granddaughter he took in during his old age is crying looking for chicken, and he doesn’t even know what chicken is.
Rebuttal will come after finding out what chicken is.

ㄴ GetMeJewels)Boo-hoo, he’s trash for abandoning his crying granddaughter
ㄴ EndingCollector)How is he called a Sage if he doesn’t know chicken?? Really, really asking because I don’t know...
ㄴ ILoveFarming)Seriously, I think we’re on the same level lol. Rebut after you find out what chicken is.
1. Beat the Sage.
When an unknown problem appeared, this was the Constellation Gallery’s 1st form.
[He’s the biggest fraud Constellation ever]
[I want to say who it is but it feels like harassment, so I’m holding back...]
[So slow. Even the act of finding out.]
[Being old is a sin. A sin...]
[Lol meteor incoming hueeeeng]
[Gramps triggered.gif]
2. Block my meteor.
When beating a Sage, blocking the incoming meteor was the Constellation Gallery’s 2nd form.
While blocking, the 3rd form would arrive: Explainer.
There was light even in the Constellation Gallery. And its name was Explainer.
After scouring the vast ocean of information, Explainer brought hope.
