Chapter 11: Be Good to You (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
‘Why is Yoo Ji-Yeon suffering like that?’
Her tear-stained face and the dropped head was unbearable to me.
Those three stood their ground without relenting.
Even if her power had not come to fruition yet, this did not make sense.
Memories started to flash by me as I relived them in the split-second of my mind’s nexus.
“Why did you start the hunter activity so late? It would have been easier to start as soon as you graduated from the academy.”
Long ago, I had asked her the same question.
“Just…… And I didn’t go to the academy.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon’s illuminated expression became dismal upon hearing the question.
“Why, because there is nothing to learn in the academy or something?”
“Huh. There’s really no way to learn from that. Whoo, you have to be at some level to learn. Who taught me?”
“Haha, that’s right. I also dropped out of the academy.”
She replied sarcastically, but it had a ring of truth in it.
“Okay… You don’t have to go like that. It’s a bad place…”
“Yeah?”
“No. Just think of the old days.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon gave a friendly smile, a smile which was hiding a burdening truth.
I refrained from seeking further inquiries.
Recalling the present situation.
‘I couldn’t stand it, and I dropped out.’
The current situation and Yoo Ji-Yeon’s convictions were excellent bearings.
Besides, the full bloom of her talents was long due.
“No need to give up right away. I didn’t know what magic was until I was twenty.”
The thick voice resonated in my mind.
Some say that it is a hope spoken to talented wizards, but now I was verifying whether it was true.
She is timider than I remembered. She was constantly harassed during her stay at the academy. It had failed my notice that Yoo Ji-Yeon belonged to Hwayeon.
‘Everyone must have been right; she has no talent.
No, her appearance deceives the eye.’
For now, she was molten metal in the crucible, being burned and brewed so she could be transformed into a deadly sword.o
So, she turned docile, didn’t resist, never took the pain of graduating, and made her debut as a hunter much later.
*sigh*
No matter how late the talents unleash, the academy had always been a core destination for the awakened youth.
If Yoo Ji-Yeon had not dropped out, she would have made her name known to the world in no more than three years.
“It’s easy for us to be honest and kind to each other, huh?”
If this hadn’t occurred, 20% of foreboding calamities would have been prevented.
As I expected, a surge of anger kindled in me.
Among other reasons, I struggled without her companionship because of the bullying cadets.
‘With Yoo Ji-Yeon, my plan will be much easier.’
We could stop the first disaster from happening.
Her presence was invaluable.
‘Then, there’s only one thing left to do.’
Anticipating was easy, but there was no reason to stay put.
*tuck*
I bravely took a step forward.
“Don’t shut up. Say something useful…”
“Hey.”
I cut them off and spat out a short word.
At the same time, my sight became clearer.
[‘Excellent Insight (F)’ is activated.]
Their growing strength didn’t matter; one could always observe other departments’ cadets being directly violated.
There was only one thing left to do.
“The trick is written by the guys, and I don’t know what is so imposing.”
I vigorously spewed facts while keeping an eye on Yoo Ji-Yeon as her gaze was bouncing between the three bullies.
My habits were likened to an occupational hazard.
That given, I was able to extract sizeable information.
What’s more, there was nothing that my vision did not capture now that my skill was active.
“Why can’t I keep hearing…”
“Your lower lip is a little yellow.”
[You have captured a minute unobservable detail.]
[‘Excellent Insight’ effectiveness increases.]
“The left portion of you mouth’s roof and the bottom of your tongue are dark, and the right molar has grains that resemblance a ‘potion capsule’.”
[You have captured exceptional detail.]
[‘Excellent Insight’ rank upgrade.]
[‘F’ → ‘E’]
“I notice a mixed hue of violet and blue in the grain, but it must be from a mana-burning effect. The lower lip color change is not drastic; she would have used it roughly three to four days ago. I think it was taken before the actual evaluation to avoid getting caught by the instructor. However, I noticed that the inside of the mouth was dark. Three months since it started? No, it’s been half a year since I saw something wrong with the roof of my mouth and tongue.”
“…!”
[You located factors that are untraceable with traits and skills.]
[You analyzed all the facts flawlessly.]
[‘Excellent Insight’ rank upgrade.]
[‘E’ → ‘D’]
“Because you still have side effects of coloring, I conclude you bought it at a cheap place. I thought you took some medications when I saw a little green tint on your nose’s side and slightly unfocused eyes. Is it ‘Blue Moon’? Is it ‘Red Eye’? Ah, it’s ‘Red Eye’, I see a bloodline on your wrist. Right?”
“You… What…What are you…”
“What? Hwayeon Academy doesn’t penalize substance use before admissions? Just looking at the traces now, I think you enjoyed it about 3 years ago. By the way, shouldn’t you take potion capsules? If you can’t, it will be a suspension, and depending on what the ingredients are, you may be expelled.”
[You have completed an admirable analysis.]
[‘Excellent Insight’ rank upgrade]
[‘D’ → ‘C’]
[‘Excellent Insight (C)’ will be activated.]
The notification proved the authenticity of my deduction.
I gently laughed at the cadet whose face was ghastly pale by then.
“What are you looking at? Want me to say more?”
“…”
“If you don’t like it, go away, or I’ll have a tale to tell.”
One cadet stepped back and ran away; the other two followed suit.
‘You can’t do this for a long time.’
I rubbed my neck as I looked at the disappearing cadets.
I was satisfied with the ranking of ‘Excellent Insight’ rising.
[“You have a lot of knowledge. A few words and you had them running away.”]
The traveler ridiculed me.
Well, this is my specialty from the old days.
“… Thanks.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon pleasantly enjoyed watching the miscreants flee, then stood up and thanked me.
“By the way… Are you okay?”
“Huh?”
However, it did not end there; what followed was something strange.
What did this mean?
“They are good kids. They are the ones who came near the magic department. I don’t know how you knew it, but they used the medicines and potion capsules you mentioned earlier, and like the expensive stuff …”
Ah, that was what it meant.
“Ok. It doesn’t matter.”
No need to worry.
If so, I shouldn’t have touched Hyun-Cheol Kim.
The person I gave huge a shoving to was a gold spoon that I couldn’t reach even if all three escaped.
“But why did you help me?”
“Huh?”
“There was no reason for you to be good. You don’t get an extra point acting virtuously. Besides, since it’s a different subject, those three were not competitors. I have nothing appropriate to present you.”
“I was just helping. I heard you and thought it better to help than just move on.”
‘Each talent was indispensable to be a hunter. Except for the awakeners, who are just human waste, just like those three.’
“Uh… Well…”
Yoo Ji-Yeon stared blankly.
She hesitantly remained silent.
Impervious to her reaction, I continued.
“We’re all on the same side anyway. When the monsters come, we will fight next to you, and when the cracks open, we will go to stop them together. Where are the competitors, where are the points, and the other departments then?”
“…”
“In the end, we are helping each other survive.”
She stood calmly.
[Bond with ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’ growing rapidly.]
[‘Meeting more than a certain schedule’ was met.]
[Now, you can target ‘Yu Ji-Yeon’ and ‘Link’.]
[The ‘Witch Yu Ji-Yeon’ and the current ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’ existing in the user’s memory are separate entities.]
[Presently, link can only be established with ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’.]
Numerous reminders popped up.
And…
“Okay, I get it.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon smiled pleasantly.
Her smile beautified her aura.
This was the Yoo Ji-Yeon I remembered.
[After reversion, for the first time, you have built a bond with other targets.]
[You have met the conditions.]
[New features of ‘Communication and Sharing’ will be opened.]
Simultaneously, the notification window began to reward again.
* * *
[Communication and sharing]
[* Soul fairy tale]
[* Only users who meet the ‘regression’ condition can open it.]
[* You can use communication and sharing with other entities. Of course, communication and sharing cannot be used when the price is very different.]
[* It can only be applied to opponents who have raised their bonds to the maximum, and can only be used if the object is alive in present reality.]
[→ Rapidly increases the growth rate of targets where the user has once accumulated a bond to the maximum.]
[→ Animated beings are compensated for growth until they grow to their maximum potential.]
[→ As the assimilated being grows, the soul of the user also grows.]
“…”
I remained speechless.
Well, it was just an insane ability.
‘I can pick a person who will be on my side and grow fast, and I will grow as much?’
What are all these crazy perks?
‘You endlessly spread.’
Of course, my personality growth made me feel good.
‘Then, in the future, I should first try to increase the bond with Yoo Ji-Yeon to the maximum and apply the soul assimilation as quickly as possible. Her talents will bloom sooner, and my growth will be even faster, so it’s no surprise.’
Great.
I gave a slight note and began taking notes
Black letters filled up the white paper.
“What did you write?”
“Oh, this? It’s a simple plan.”
“Well… Plans shouldn’t be so detailed. If anything goes wrong, the plan will fail. If you don’t know the future, this is …”
“Once you’ve put it together, well…”
It was so easy because I knew the future.
I swallowed the words and listened to the traveler prattle while laughing bitterly.
“Oh, stop. I don’t have to learn anything about planning …”
“You need to learn how skilled I am in theory.”
“But not as good as me.”
I would give it away if anything else, but I was proud of the theory, so I went the whole mile
And then.
“Jeong Si-woo.”
I heard someone calling me outside.
“Ah, traveler. I raise my voice because you keep saying nonsense.”
“Why is it my fault? Because of your pride, you don’t keep getting…”
I turned to respond to the traveler.
“I have something to ask about the reawakening test. Is it okay to come in for a second?”
I immediately turned with a baffled expression
‘… Reawakening test? ‘
This was something I’d never heard of.
